GOOD INDUSTRY FOR WOMEN.
A new Industry has sprung up here
whereby a woman can support her
husband. Mrs. Steve Workover cord
ed over fifteen tiers of wood and
helped to cut eight tiers In one week.
She has worked probably 100 days In
the timber, splits and tiers the wood
while her husband saws. She is In
excellent health and enjoys the work
exceedingly. Dlxonvllle Correspond
ence the Roseburg Review.
SHE TOOK DEGREES.
Miss Mabel Sturtevant has Just
been admitted to the bar at Jefferson
City, Mo. Her record as a student is
remarkable. She was graduated as
the valedictorian from the high
school. She won scholarships In the
Baker University, in the Kansas City
University and the curator's scholar
ship in the University of Missouri.
Since enrolling In 1905 she has taken
both the law and the academic courses
at the university. New York Sun.
jf WHERE THE CHARM LAY.
" The secret lay in her smile. She
smiled Incessantly, For at least a
quarter hour she stood chatlng to
two Japs, one of whom appeared to
be her husband, and the expressions
of the men Indicated they were talk
ing now and then of serious subjects.
But always she smiled. The smile
rippled from her lips right up her
ecru countenance to the sloe black
slits that served her for eyes, and
every feature was in it. It was irre
sistible, that smile. And 'tis no dis
loyalty to American beauties to say
that If such is the smile of every Jap
anese woman It's easy to understand
how a man can be happy in the Mika
do's realm on a handful of rice a day,

THE FABLE OF THE MUDDY FEET
Occasionally there is a woman who
is entirely too neat and particular to
be the right kind of a mother for
boys. There once lived a woman of
this kind In South Atchison. When
her boys came home from school she
would scream at them, "How about
your feet?" "Is there mud on your
shoes?" "Go right around to the
back door!" "What do you mean by
tracking dirt In here?" etc., etc. The
boys grew up, and found out on the
way that there were places down
town where no one found fault if the
feet of those who entered were muddy
or tracked in dust. Now that the
boys have gone to the bad, their
mother sobs and laments and won
ders why "the Lord ever sent her
sons like that." There lives near her,
In South Atchison, a mother who lets
her sons enjoy their home; she was
glad to see them and didn't remind
them that they might bring in mud
when they came home. Them boys
ferew up to love their home, and have
never found out that there are places
down town where a boy is welcome,
and never will. The neat woman
really shouldn't blame the difference
on the Lord; it isn't "toting fair."

BALLET DANCERS OF SOCIETY.
Expense is no object In amusing
society, and one woman who does it
well says she is going over to London
to take lessons in fancy dancing to
perform at little parties. Lady Con
stance Stewart-Richardson, whose
fame as a sportswoman, and especial
ly as a swimmer, is well known in
England, has recently added fancy
dancing to her list of accomplish
ments. Lady Constance attended
classes of a famous ballet dancer
In Covent Garden, and, donning the
usual costume, of the ballot, was in
itiated into the mysteries of the pro
fession. Although she has not taken
many lessons she gives promise of
becoming as expert a dancer as she
is a swimmer. She is said to have a
genius for the art, and it she cared
to devote the time to it she might
become one of the best exponents of
Pallet dancing ever seen in England.
Ballet dancing is no longer confined
to the small class of professionals.
An English peer's daughter recently
went through a course of training and
performed with great success at a
private party, A young Scottish wo
man of social position is now study
ing the art in London for pure love
of the thing." New York Press.
f EVERY DAY A NEW ONE.
Here is a pretty bit of optimistic
philosophy, inspired by so ordinary
n occurrence as the dally sunrlslng:
"Did you know the sun rose every
morning? There are many persons
who do not know this important fact,
or, if they do know, they do not act
Accordingly. These persons carry
yesterday's burdens around with them
to-day. They would be better off If
they carried only to-day's burdens
and successes and failures. The fail
ures of yesterday should not be for
gotten, because they dishearten us
for to-day. The successes of yester
day should not be remembered, be
cause they will weigh against the
larger possible successes of to-day.
The burdens of yesterday should have
been burled yesterday. That is -one
meaning of the sunrlslng. It shuts
oft yesterday. The sun rises as fair
and bright and new this morning as
though it had not risen anew every
morning of these 6000 years. It
brings a new day with new oppor
tunities, new duties and new possi
bilities. Yesterday Is shut off from
to-day by the curtain of the night and
the sun rises in the morning to usher
In the new day. There are men in
this town who are gray with the bur
dens of yesterday when they might
be buoyant with the brightness of
to-day's dawn. They have forgotten
that the sun has risen." Pittsburg
Press.
RIGHT AND, WRONG WAY.
It's a mighty different proposition
to tell a woman, Just baldly so, that
she can't have a new parlor rug, and
to ask her to do without It so that a
mortgage on the house may be paid
off, or a few dollars added to the sum
that is going into buying a partner
ship. '
In the play, "The Thief," the hus
band suddenly wakes up to the fact
that his wife has been dressing like a
millionairess on the salary of a book
keeper, and he turns upon her fierce
ly and demands to know where she
got her clothes.
A wise husband should always
keep his eyes upon his wife, and
when he sees that she is beginning to
dress too expensively, to go out too
much and entertain too elaborately,
he should call a gentle halt. He
should explain to her just what they
can afford, and make her feel that she
gets her full share of the perquisites
of their joint life.
If she is the right sort of a woman
she will not want to run him in debt,
and if she's the wrong sort of a wom
an he should not let her run him in
debt.
No pity is due the man whose wife
ruins him, except the pity we bestow
upon any kind of a weakling. Doro

The lavish use of feathers on the
new hats is unprecedented.
The long coat is used not only with
tailor-made, but with elaborate house
gowns.
A great many lace coats, long and
svelte in fit, are being made for hand
some dinner costumes.
Collar and cuffs of filet lace are a
most attractive finish to a fine lin
gerie waist.
. Now and then one sees a fancy
wrap entirely covered with soutache
braiding in self-color.
Fancy waistcoats give a surprising
ly dressy look and mark a suit as
strictly a 1908 product.
The real grasses, both ruches and
pom poms, that are appearing on the
new hats are really very pretty.
Pond lilies, clovers and apple blos
soms are among the flowers effective
ly used on millinery this season.
Sleeveless jackets of lace that form
a part of thin gowns have long Btoles
in front reaching nearly to the knees.
Some of the loveliest combinations
of delicate pink and lavender are
noted on hats and in gowns for the
coming season.
Fashion makers do not give their
attention to the easy remodeling of
the fashions of a past season when
they are designing for the new period.
A vertical inset of lace insertion
flanked on either side by a trailing
embroidery spray forms a dainty dec
oration for the short sleeves of a
sheer blouse.
Coats take all sorts of shapes, but
all have short walsted fronts or backs
and are fitted perfectly at the hips to
fall in straight lines with the skirt
under them.
The flowered silk waistcoat and
short sleeves that show beneath the
wing or butterfly sleeves of the fancy;
jacket are the prettiest feature of one
spring bride's going away gown.
Wimeh
New York City. The coat that Is
made in butterfly style, or with the
sleeves that are cut In one with it, Is
peculiarly becoming to young girls,
while it is in the very height of pres
ent styles. This one is shown in
striped material and is, perhaps, es
pecially effective when such material
Is used, but it is quite correct for
everything seasonable, the pongees
and silks that will be so extensively
worn throughout the warm season, as
Well as for the wool suitings. The
vest portions and the prettily shaped
collar and cuffs allow of effective con
trast and can be utilized in a variety
of ways. In this Instance plain cloth
is braided with soutache and trimmed
With bits of velvet, but banding would
be quite correct.
The coat is made with fronts
backs, the under-arm portions and
sleeves. The sleeves are arranged
under the pleats and joined to the
nnder-arm portions and finished with
roll-over cuffs. The vest portions are
stitched to the fronts and the collar
finishes the neck.
The quantity of material required
for the sixteen year size Is three and
leven-elghth yards twenty-one, two
and three-fourth yards twenty-seven,
ir one and seven-eighth yards forty-
four inches wide, with one-half yard
fifty-two inches wide, or two and five-
eighth yards of banding two Inches
wide for vest, collar and cuffs.
Shoulder Seam Important.
The new shirtwaist is distinctive
on account of the width of the
shoulders. Do not imagine for ona
moment that this effect may be ob
tained by cutting the shoulder seam
extra long that is to say, by running
it down on the arm. It can't. The
proper width must be given by the
correct line of the shoulder seam,
otherwise the sleeve can not be prop
erly put In and will droop In an ugly
way over the arm, giving an ill-fitting,
thoroughly home-made appear
ance to the shirtwaist,
Read Bugs in Fashion. v
That bead bags keep in fashion Is
not to be wondered at since the flow
er dress-borders upon skirts as well
as other skirt trimmings in embossed
rows give to the bead bag, in its soft
ly blended variety of colors, Its rea
son for banging from the belt or be
ing carried gracefully. Both bag
and bead-trimmed skirts are re
vivals of old days.
Tucked Shirt Waist.
The waist that is trimmed with
buttons is one of the novelties of the
season and Is exceedingly effective.
This one is tucked in a way to be so
treated with exceptional success and
Is exceedingly chic and smart, while
it Is absolutely simple. In the illus
tration white linen is trimmed with
pearl buttons, but colored linens and
white materials striped with color
both are being extensively used this
season, and the cotton voiles are
much liked for shirt waists. Again,
if button trimming is not liked, discs
could be embroidered either with the
same on contrasting color and give
an exceedingly smart and altogether
up-to-date effect with very little
labor, the simple shirt waist that Is
treated in this way being one of the
notable features of the present
season.
The waist is made with fronts and
back. It Is tucked to give exceedingly
becoming lines to the figure and la
finished with a neck-band and with a
separate turn-over collar, but if liked
a regulation stock can be worn in
place of the latter. There are the
usual shirt sleeves that are finished
with over laps and straight cuffs.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is three and one
half yards twenty-one or twenty-four,
three and three-eighth yards thirty-
two, or two yards forty-four inches
wide.

DUN'S WEEKLY "SUMMARY
Failures Growing Less Several o4
the Large Steel Plants Have
Resumed Operations,
New York. R. G. Dun & Compa
ny's "Weekly Review of Trade"
says: "Weather condtions have ex
ercised much influence this week on
retail trade In seasonable merchan
dise and dealings at the leading com
modity exchanges. Low temperature
characterized the demand for light
wearing apparel In a market that was
already backward, and heavy rains
started reports of damage to the
crops, yet there was no evidence of
serious Injury.
"Manufacturing conditions show
little change. In some Industries
there Is still a disposition to wait for
lower prices, although restricted de
mand during the past six months
must render replenishment of stocks
almost Imperative. Financial senti
ment Improves as restrictions are re
moved from commercial credits, and
sales of bonds provide funds for
structural work.
"Failures decrease in number, while
liabilities in April were smaller than
in any month since November, despite
several large suspensions of a special
ly active nature.
"A few more steel plants have re
sumed, decreasing the percentage of
unemployed in this Industry, but new
contracts are placed with great cau
tion, and It is evident that all con
sumers anticipate more attractive
terms.
"Confidence grows in the textile
markets as stocks In the hands of
dealers becnme depleted, and It Is
known that the time must be near for
replenishment. Export trade Is bet
ter. "Shipments of shoes through Bos
ton are now scarcely more than half
the weekly figures of last year and
the market Is quiet and uninterest
ing." MARKETS,
