, J Make Home Happy.
Make the home life as happy as
you can for the children. Many a
boy goes astray, not through lack of
care and training, but because home
life Is not made as happy as It might
be. Children, while they are young
and Impressionable, should be sur
rounded with happiness. It Is as es
sential to their well being as sunshine
Is to flowers. If, as they grow up,
they find that happiness Is not to be
had at home, they soon learn to look
for It elsewhere. Indianapolis News.
Bear Our Sorrows.
Ey preference we would bear all
our sorrows alone, fight out all the
hardest fights of heart and soul where
no one can pity us, or, with any well
meant attempt at healing, poke their
fingers Into our sorest place; like
Jacob, we would wrestle with God In
the darkness and solitude of our own
chamber. But when we are happy It
Is different: something must be want
ing unless there Is one near to us who
understands and is happy, too.- Wom

White Violets as Bride's Flowers.
It is a pretty Idea for a bride to
use her name flower In her wedding
boquet. Lady Violet Brabazon has
decided to do this when Bhe Is mar
ried next Wednesday to Lord Grlms
ton at St. George's, Hanover Square.
Lady Violet will have a boquet of
;white violets and the two unmarried
sisters of her fiance who will act as
bridesmaids, the Ladles Sybil and
Vera Grimston, will carry big bunches
of parma violets. The flower In col
ored enamel will be represented in
the bridegroom's Jewel gifts to the
bridesmaids. London Globe.
Petition the Dnma.
The Jewish women of Russia have
presented their first petition to the
Duma. In this petition they beg that
legislation be enacted to prevent hus
bands from sending their wives a bill
of divorce by messenger. As things
are now a Hebrew husband can di
vorce his wife, with the consent of the
rabbi, by giving her a bill of divorce
ment. If the wife does not wish to
be divorced she can refuse to take the
paper, and it does not become valid
without her acceptance. When the
bill is sent by a messenger the wife,
not knowing what the paper is, has
no means of protecting herself. New
York Sun.
Sash Worn With Bracelets.
All that hangs gracefully about
woman's clothes speedily becomes the
fashion. The woman who first wore
the shawl in Italy soon startled Rome
by her grace. She had not even been
known as pretty before that, but ever
afterward she was the Roman beauty.
The shawl received another- banging,
' a fringe, which swayed and trembled
with every movement of the figure.
Then came the gracefully hanging
skirts, and now the newest thing is to
have a sash drawn from the waist
through bracelets of gold worn above
the elbows. The sash, which hangs
-down to the edge of the skirt, gives
an unusually graceful effect As the
sash is not loose, but attached to the
dress at the waist, It is no trouble to
the wearer, but is an everlasting
temptation to be kept moving. New
York Press.
A Woman's Time to Dress.
"A correctly gowned woman can
iot dress herself in less than one
hour and a half."
Mme. Marguerite Sylva, the prima
donna, thus sets the femininu sarto
rial time with finality.
A well groomed woman allows:'
Fifteen minutes for a bath.
Ten minutes to adjust corsets and
underwear.
Fifteen minutes to go over the face
with a light massage and powder.
Fifteen minutes at least to arrange
the hair.
Ten minuses to adjust the hat.
Twenty-five minutes, being all that
Is left, In which to arrange the outer
costume.
"Of course," Bald Mme. Sylva,
"these are the necessities of a wom
an's toilet. She must allow, at least,
every other morning:
"Thirty minutes for .a manicure.
"Forty-five minutes for waving the
hair.
"An hour for a thorough massage.
"For myself, I am never late. How
ever, I am afraid that the time I con
sider necessary for dressing would
cause the learned Chicago Judge to
bless a fate that never had led him
to my drawing room to -cool his
heels."
The Chicago judge to whom Mme.
Sylva referred is Judge Crowe, who,
in connection with a fine he imposed
upon the chauffeur of Mrs. George
W. Lederer, exclaimed :
"A woman has no regard for time;
iihe will take half an hour to adjust
three hairpins. v Women take too
much time in dressing and primping.
They have no idea of the inconve
niences it causes their husbands,
friends and admirers."
"Certainly there is one thing that
no man can understand," said Mme.
Sylva, "and I doubt if I can explain
It. The less a woman puts on the
longer it takes her to do it. Never
have women worn fewer clothes than
with the present fashions, and never
has it taken them longer' to dress.
"But, after all, the question sim
mers down to this," concluded Mme.
Sylva, "would a man prefer to wait
for an attractive woman, or to have
an unattractive woman waiting for
him? Whatever is worth having is
worth waiting for?" New York Tel
egram to the Kansas City Star.
Are Women Had Tempered?
When it comes to a question of
hobbles and pursuits are wives ever
as indulgeht as their husbands? A.
man is usually far more lenient to
his wife's tastes than she Is to his.
He may not be able to understand
her fondness for Mrs. Smith's com
pany, but he endures It without a
murmur. He may not appreciate her
espousal of the suffragette's cause,
but he allows her to "gang her aln
gait" without expostulation. With
her other fancies and Ideas It is the
same; If they "please her and don't
hurt him" he is content.
A woman, however, will lose no
time In informing her husband that
she can't endure Brown, and he really
must not go Ashing with him any
more. Of if bicycling happens to be
his innocent recreation she will never
rest until she has got him to take up
tennis, a form of sport which may
appeal to her personally, but In which
he has no sort of Interest, says Wo
man's Life. A man shows far more
good nature in respect of his wife's
liberty and leisure. Long before she
had ceased grumbling at the untidi
ness of his particular den, at the pres
ence of pipes and the absence of
matches in every room in the house,
he has patiently and good humoredly
recognized the fact that It takes at
least five hatpins and twenty-five
minutes to adjust the hat of the peri
od at the fashionable angle.
TO WCAR
Moyen age coats will be worn by
children.
Whole coats are made of the tail
less ermine.
Purple silk stockings are one of the
season's novelties.
Much of the trimming of the hat
now goes at the back.
Net forms the foundations of near
ly all the new trimmings.
The so-called Egyptian ribbons that
look like temple columns, trim many
of the handsomest turbans.
Bunches of short plumes are being
used more than the single long ones
so much in vogue last season.
A toque of chamois-colored velvet,
trimmed with black wings, is decided
ly smart, and unusual as well.
Net boleros, in white and black,
elaborately embroidered, are most
serviceable as a toilet accessory.
It is a veiled season, and these
short lenghts of veils are an import
ant accessory to the modern outfit.
Plain meshes are always acceptable
and every woman should number one
or two of this variety in her outfit.
Two new names that go with tones
that are charmingly soft and becom
ing are bat gray and Beauvals blue.
Net boleros, In white and black,
elaborately embroidered, are most
serviceable as a toilette accessory.
The flower of fashion this season
Is the Bermuda lily. It Is in white or
pink and is grown small or large.
Moire waists of the Gibson style
are holding their favor. They have
silk buttons covered with the silk.
In the monthly expenditure of the
average well-dressed woman the
money for veilings will be no small
item.
A mixture of silver and gold in
trimming bands or garniture is now
more favored than gold or silver
alone.
The pleated walking skirt is a de
servedly popular model, and a most
practical one, and It has now many
devotees.
Marabout or malines, massed about
the huge wings on the large cavalier
hats is a distinctive note of the fall
millinery.
Hair bands of all kinds prevail,
some single and of considerable
width, and some double, like the
Greek fillet.
Made veils, decorated with ornate
designs, are more expensive, but the
finished style of these cannot be sup
plied by other veils.
Self-toned veils in colors to match
the costume are much worn, and of
course black and' white meshes are
always In good taste.

New York City. Shirt waists made
In tailor style, but finished with a frill
at the left of the front, are new and
smart. Thi3 one is so made that the
trill is removable and can be used pr
omitted as liked and can be renewed
without renewing the entire waist.
The tucks over the shoulders are ar
ranged close to the armhole seams in
conformity with the latest style and
on exceedingly becoming lines. There
are two tucks at each side of the box
pleat at the front, and when the frill
is used it is attached to an additional
band, which Is buttoned Into place.
Linen with the frill of handkerchief
lawn makes the waist Illustrated, but
there are a great many fashionable
waisting materials this season. Shirt
waists of thin materials made In tail
ored style are greatly liked, the fa
miliar madras and fabrics of the sort
are more beautiful than ever, and
such a waist as this one is equally
appropriate for silk and flannel.
The waist Is made with fronts and
back. The tucks are laid on indicated
lines, and a neck-band finishes the
neck. The collar Is of the high
turned-over sort, attached by means
of buttonholes and studs. The sleeve?
are of regulation fulness, but are fin
lshed with bands and rolled ovei
' The Monotone Effects.
The monotone effects either in
black and color are seldom carried to
extremes this year. The frock color
mounting quite to the face proved so
unbecoming when tried last year that
women rebelled and dressmakers re
lented, and this season we have the
becoming cream or whiti next the
face once more.
All the blue gems art in very high
favor.
cuffs that are held in place by meant
of links. The frill Is of graduated
width and can be pleated or gathered.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size Is three and one
fourth yards twenty-one or twenty
four, two and three-fourth yards thirty-two
or two yards forty-four iuches
wide, with three-eighth yard twenty
one or twenty-four, one-fourth yard
thirty-two, one-eighth yard forty-four
Inches wide or one and three-eighth
yards of ribbon tour Inches wide for
frill.
Circular Knickerbockers.
Knickerbockers are always in de
mand during the cold weather. They
mean perfect protection against
searching winds and are thoroughly
comfortable and satisfactory to wear.
They are well liked for the exercise
suits that have become general and
are, in fact, generally desirable. They
can be made to take the place of petti
coats for skating, tramping and any
out-door sports. These are circular,
which means that they are smooth
over the hips, while they are com
fortably full about the knees. They
are closed at the sides and are easily
adjusted. Serge is much liked for
their making, flannel Is used by a
great many women, and those who do
not care for so much warmth like
pongee, sateen or silk, and often they
are made with removable linings of
lawn, the linings being made exactly
like the outside, but finished sep
arately. The bloomers are circular, the leg
portions being Joined at front and
back; and they are fitted by means of
short hip darts. The front and back
portions are Joined to separate bands
and the openings are finished with
over-laps.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is four yards
'wenty-four, three yards thirty-two or
two yards forty-four inches wide.
Large Muffs Favored.
Muffs will, bo larger than ever,
according to the best authorities.
Immense pillow and rug muffs will be
on sale and the sizes will run as high
as twenty-eight and thirty inches.
There seems to be a sort of rivalry
between the milliners and the fur
riers, and the latter are trying to pro
duce a muff that will compete with
the gigantic hats that have for some
time been the fashion. It looks as if
they would succeed.
Household Affairs
HalrBrnshlng.
- It Is useless to resolve to brush the
hair thoroughly every night and then
to neglect it four nights out of seven.
Procure a good stiff bristled brush,
sturdy enough to penetrate through
to the head. Brush the hair effectu
ally as a whole, then separate the
tresses into strands to make the
brushing easier and more complete,
and thoroughly brush every one of
the strands from its roots to its tips.
When the hair has been brushed in
this way it will appear more abund
ant than it really is. -Woman's Life.
Unique Baby Cap.
The melon shaped cap for a baby
Is most interesting and unusual.
Three sectioni go to form this dainty
headpiece for the little one; each part
is shaped like the oblong section of a
melon, wider In the middle and point
ed at each end. After they are bast
ed together these "slices" of hand
kerchief linen are fitted over baby's
head, their pointed ends covering the
ears. They are joined by hand, with
beading,, and the cap Is edged with
wider beading or Irish Insertion. A
bit of embroidery may be worked
upon each section of the cap. Pitts

Washing Compound.
Into a half gallon of water shave a
pound bar of good laundry soap and
boll In a large kettle until dissolved.
Remove from the fire and before It
cools add one-half pint of gasoline.
This will cause it to foam up and fill
the kettle. Let stand until cooled off.
This compound Is to be added to hot
water to wash the clothes. It softens
the water, loosens the dirt, and whi
tens the clothes without the least In
Jury to the most delicate fabric. Some
of the compound may also be used In
the boiler. In using the gasoline be
sure not to mix It anywhere near the
fire. Indiana Farmer.
Card Case In Old Blue.
A card case made of natural col
ored linen of a slightly rough texture
(not the gray linen of duster fame)
is one of the few hand made calling
cases that will be found entirely pre
sentable and satisfactory.
Measure the linen over a leather
card case and trace the full size upon
It. Buttonhole on edge with fine blue
Bilk, dull and dark, all round this
line. ' , Cut around this entire edge,
but not until an oriental allover pat
tern has been worked to cover the
whole surface. The dark blue of the
border with two shades of lighter blue
has been used successfully in exquis
itely even satin stitch.
When the case has been folded to
gether it should be sewed to form
each side pocket, the stitches hidden
In the buttonholed border.
Black and gray on the tan linen or'
several shades of brown will be the
most reasonable for the carrying out
of this case, unless it be done In
oriental yellows, blues and dull reds
for the woman who leans toward
eastern elegances.
Crepe may be substituted as a
background material, if a close, heavy
quality is to be tound. Pittsburg

These early twilights and cold nights

Never try to fill a lighted lamp.
Crisp crackers can be quickly pre

Never economize the draft of the

open window may sqt the current of

The curfew hour means literally
the cover fire hour, when the fires
are banked for the night. The only
safe plan for an open fire is to cover
the logs with ashes and use a screen.
Don't omit the screen.
When lighting a lamp turn the
lamp down low. The perforated
metal of the burner is cold. Soon It
becomes hot and the air passing
through It is heated and the flame
becomes larger and brighter. The
only safe plan Is to start with a small
flame, for, it turned up. at the staii.

Germs Not Easily Frozen.
Death-dealing germs flourish in the
coldest of cold weather. They live
even In the intense cold of liquid air.
Infectious diseases, such as diphthe
ria, measles, scarlet fever and small- '
pox, are quite as common in the win
ter as at any other time. Colds and
sore throats are more prevalent. All
these diseases are caused by germs,
those malignant organisms which
swarm and breed everywhere. In
summertime the smell of putrefaction
tells that something is wrong, and a
disinfectant is Immediately used. In
winter there Is no such warning, and
the first intimation is the actual ill
ness. There is, therefore, the greater
need for efficient protection against
disease germs protection which Is
best afforded by the uae of a highly
efficient disinfectant. New York

Ancient Civilization.
The ancient pueblos of Arizona and
New Mexico have been explored and
their rich and varied contents made
known to the world through, the con
tributions of Charles F. Lumnvls,
George L. Cole, George ..Wharton
James and others. That a very re
markable civilization existed In that
region many centuries before Colum
bus discovered a new world, and per
haps before the altars and pyramids
of ancient Mexico and Yucatan were
erected, seems highly probable. A
department ot local prehistoric re
search has been organized in the
University of Southern California and
will be conducted under the manage

HARD TO DROP
But Many Drop It. ,
A young Calif, wife talks about c6f
fee: "It was hard to drop Mocha and
Java and give Postura a trial, but my
nerves were so shattered that I was a
nervous wreck and of. course that
means all kinds of alls;
"At first I thought bicycle riding
caused It and I gave it up, but my
condition remained unchanged. I did
not want to acknowledge coffee caused
the trouble, for I was very fond of it.
At that time a friend came to live
with us, and I noticed that after he
had been with us a week he would not
drink his coffee any more. I asked
him the reason. He replied, 'I have
not had a headache since I left off
drinking coffee, some months ago, till
last week, when I began again, here
at your table. I don't see how any
one can like coffee, anyway, after
drinking Postum!'
"I said nothing, but at once or
dered a package ot Postum. That
was five months ago, and we have
drank no coffee since, except on two
occasions when we had company, and
the result each time was that my hus
band could not sleep, but lay awake
and tossed and talked half the night.
We' were convinced that coffee caused
his suffering, so he returned to Pos
tum, convinced that coffee was an
enemy, instead of a friend, and he is
troubled no mere by insomnia.
"I, myself, have gained 8 pounds
In weight, and my nerves have ceased
to quiver. It seems so easy now to
quit coffee that -caused our aches and
ails and take up Postum."
