Newspaper Unfairness
VOL. XX1.

(Editorial from Nashville Globe
May, 21st)
One of the most common complaints made of the newspaper is that it is unfair. The newspaper is the target of constant criticism, and the weapon most frequently used is the charge of unfairness. The average man is so constituted that to disagree with him is perilous. If your friend does not think as you do, if his opinions do not coincide with yours, the chances are that you will have little further use for him. Few friendships are so strong that they are able to survive radical divergence of opinions. Publicity, as embodied in the newspaper, is a powerful weapon. All sorts and conditions of men, day in and day out, are seeking to get into the news columns; on the other hand are those who are seeking to keep out. Between the two, as a general rule, there is slight choice. The man who is trying to get in, in nine cases out of ten, is the man who should not be admitted; the man who is trying to keep out, by the same rule, is the man who should receive publicity, in the interest of the public welfare. Each class, when their desires are not respected, feel that they have been misused, and it is from them that much of the charge of unfairness emanates. Nearly every one has axes to grind, friends he would like to reward, enemies he wishes to punish, interests he is seeking to promote, deals of one kind or another which would be helped by a little newspaper publicity, applied in the skillful way which is a part of the newspaper business. If he is unable to use the newspaper as he would like to do, he becomes irritated and intolerant. He finds it easy to convince himself not only that the newspaper is deliberately unfair, but that it is venal. He is not above spreading the report that the newspaper is submissive to immoral or corrupt influence. He finds it easy to arouse suspicion to his ows mind that the influence of the newspaper is purchasable by one means or another.
Another type of man who constantly is complaining of the unfairness and weakness of the newspaper is the man who will never, by any chance, align himself publicly on any moral issue, either as advocating or opposing it. This man will whisper his opinions to his friends; he wants it understood (privately mind you) that he is on the right side of every moral question, but in no circumstances must
his name be publicly mentioned in connection therewith. This type of man (and he is more numerous than is generally suspected) is the severest, most ungenerous critic of the newspaper when the newspaper does not speak as he thinks it should or as loudly or emphatically as he deems proper, when moral issues are at bar. He is quick to declare that the newspaper is lacking in moral courage, while utterly blind to his own deficiencies in that respect. This is a common form of hypocrisy.
The newspaper, if it is to live with any degree of comfort, must preserve its self respect. It must have a definite purpose and a clearly defined policy, and it must adhere to such purpose and policy. It must possess the determination to run its own business, unmoved by clamor. Its appreciation of its own dignity should be sufficient to restrain it from holding its ear to the ground, in constant effort to learn the drift of the popular current. People have ltttle respect for a newspaper that grabs at every passing band wagon. Few newspapers in this day have desire to be other than fair with the public—to give everyone a square deal. Of course there are exceptions. But in the fulfilment of this purpose the newspaper has a most difficult task, for it is dealing with humanity. Humanity, ever seeking advantage, makes the job of square dealing almost impossible. The newspaper must be a rare judge of human nature and have a wide and intimate knowledge of human characteristics to sift the truth out of all that comes to it in the course of a day's work, and in the sifting process deal justly with every man. One would need to be divine to do that perfectly.
While the newspaper should be immune to passion and prejudice, people who treat the newspaper unfairly have no just cause of complaint if they are treated unfairly in return. The newspaper is only human, after all. It is quick to recognize its friends, and likewise its enemies. The way to have friends is to be friendly. The newspaper would like to be on friendly terms with all well disposed people. Many wise men have learned the secret of getting on with the newspaper, and never have reason to complain of unfair treatment. Understanding human nature, they merely treat the newspaper men like a human being. That is all there is to it.

Notes On Racial Progress
FURNISHED BY THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE.
Although one-third of the population of the District of Columbia is colored—men, women and children who must eat, must be clothed and must wear shoes—yet there is no chance for them behind the counters of white stores. The Negro in Washington is confronting a condition; he is not discussing a theory. He is facing the rigid requirements of existence which he must overcome and by conquering them he will become a stronger man and infuse new life, encouragement and inspiration into the hearts of the young men and women of his race who are just beginning to think, to act and to make a place in the world for themselves and for those of the generations to follow. Judge Robert H. Terrell in the Washington Post.
George E. Beckett, a very successful real estate dealer of Providence, Rhode Island has leased one his properties for a period of fifty years. This property is located in the fashionable section of the city.
Madison Johnson of Cleveland, Ohio, was recently awarded a prize of a $20 Panama hat offered by one of the Cleveland daily papers for the tallest man in the city.
The colored retail dealers of St. Louis, Missouri, have organized an association which has for its object the regulation of credits; a uniform system of prices and an exchange of business ideas.
The firm of Fred Gleed & Son of Lawrence, Kansas, conducts one of the largest jobbing businesses in the State of Kansas. They specialize in eggs and poultry and ship their goods in car lots to the wholesale and retail trade of that section.
The Ocala Knitting Mill, an enterprise owned by colored men of Oscala, Florida, has been put into operation. The factory has a daily capacity of sixty dozen garments and will employ about twenty-five persons. Following the installing of the machinery, all the school children of the city, both white and colored, were taken through the building and shown how garments are made. George Giles is president.
Nine colored men will graduate from the various departments of Yale University this commencement. This will be the largest number of colored men to come out of this institution, and is very encouraging.
EVANSVILLE CITIZENS GIVE CITY A CLEANUP
Evansville, Ind., May 11—Six weeks were required to haul away the trash and rubbish unearthed in this city during the Negro Health and Clean-up Week inaugurated by the Negro Business League under the suggestion of Dr Booker T. Washington. The week of March 21 to 27 witnessed the work of getting ride of unsanitary conditions, and more than five thousand people were actively engaged in setting things straight. All the Negro organizations of the city united in the movement under the direction of the local business league, and the city authorities co-operated willingly by supplying wagons and men to remove the rubbish.
The officers of the league, Logan H, Roberts, president; James T. Roberts, secretary, and Isaac Coffee, Chairman executive committee, have submitted a comprehensive report covering the week's work, of which the following extract is given:
This Health Week was first presented in Evansville to a small gathering at a meeting of the Negro Business League last February a committee of three being ap pointed. March 21 was decided upon as a date for a "Negro Health and Clean-up Week in Evansville."
Six weeks were consumed in hauling away the piles of rubbish from over all parts of the city and more than one thousand loads of unsanity matter were moved to the various city dumps as a direct result of the Clean-up Week.
Efficiency Must Come First. We usually think of revolutions as revolts against despotism, and as making for liberty. That isn't necessarily so. The great Roman revolution was a series of upheavals by which the Roman republic was transformed into an empire. The reason was that the republic failed in efficiency. That is why all persons with the historical sense feel that politicians who sacrifice efficiency to politics are in a very deep sense enemies to the republic.
Originally a Chinese Bird.
Originally a Chinese Bird.
Pheasants, notwithstanding their aristocratic magnificence of appearance, readily interbreed with humber kinds of birds, including the common barnyard fowl, the guinea hen and the black grouse. English pheasants are the descendants of Chinese birds, which, long ago, were brought to England and crossed either with grouse or with some unidentified native species of pheasant, which possessed no great beauty. The descendant of a male pheasant and a domestic hen is known as a "pero."
First Rounded Table Knives
First Rounded Table Knives.
During the first half of the seventeenth century Cardinal Richelieu, the founder of the French Academy, became offended by the rude manner in which pointed knives were used and thereafter caused his knives to be rounded. Before long the fashion was generally adopted, and the pointed blade, which, in lieu of a fork, had been useful in picking up pieces of meat, was abandoned. Since the seventeenth century the form of table knife has remained substantially as we know it.
RACE NEWS
GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES
Harrisburg. May 20 —The "Equal Rights" bill was finally passed by the Legislature today, both houses concurring in the measure, which was reported from a conference committee after strenuous efforts had been made to defeat it. The bill prohibits, under penalty of a fine not exceeding $100, the proprietor of any hotel, restaurant, cafe or place of amusement from excluding any person his establishment because of race or color
Newark, N. J., May 2, 1915 The Federal customs officers refused a formal demand for permission to show in this city moving pictures of the Johnson-Willard fight at Havana. The demand was made by Charles A. Towne, formerly a Senator of the United States, and Benjamin F. Spellman upon the collector of the port of Newark. The attorneys announced that in a day or two they would apply to the Federal Distsict Court for an injunction restraining the customs authorities from prohibiting the pictures.
Paterson, N. J., May 19. Through the efforts of the Civic Association of Paterson, three Negroes, Isaiah Collins, Thomas H. Williams and William E. Hoopers have been chosen to serve on the Passaic County Grand Jury. This is the first time colored men have been accorded this degree of recognition. Mr. Collins is the only Negro justice of the peace, and is a real estate and insurance broker; Mr. Williams has been in the employ of Henry B. Clarke for twenty years; Mr. Hooper is proprietor of handle and lumber works, being well known in the trade as a manufacturer. There are two colored men on the petit jury, also, William C. Monroe, one of the largest caterers in the city, and Lewis A. Mitchell, a retired watchmaker and jeweler. The civic league officers are John A. Hugss, president; John Junco, secretary; Robert A. Delaney, treasurer.
Philadelphia, Pa, May 19. While 650 spectators shivered in the cold wind on the banks of the Delaware river at Marcus Hook, Sunday afternoon, nine Negro converts of the Cedar Grove, Baptist Church were immersed. The Rev. Leslie Harris, a little man, but brave of heart, baptized the converts, while a large tall man conducted the converts one by one the proper depth. One fat woman
NO 41
weighing over two hundred pounds was seized with heart failure, and almost caused a tragedy, but the brave little pastor heroically held on to his charge and prevented disaster to both. Another young woman, who grew hysterical, almost strangled as the waters closed over her, but she was passed safely to shore in a chorus of song by the choir. The pastor stood in the water up to his chin for an hour, while the crowd on shore shook with cold, and marvelled at his fortitude. The female candidates wore pink slippers and white robes.
Chicago, Ill., May 16.—After thirty years or more of attending the Moody Church, corner of La Salle and Chicago avenues, which have been one of the greatest factors in religious uplift and civic betterment of Chicago among all races and nationalities and which Dwight L. Moody made famous through his great work, the evil of the color line has reached its doors. Rev. Paul Rader, the pastor of the church, is against colored persons attending services there, the place where one of its colored members has twice won medals for attendance. Miss Leonora Curtis, a member of the Sunday School class in that church, has won both a gold and a diamond medal for holding the record for never missing a class. The Moody church has been the church home of many colored citizens of advance thought among the educators because of the splendid work carried on there, which is the foremost in Bible study in the city. A conference was arranged to talk over the matter, the thought having been advanced that as colored people now have their own churches, they should attend them and not crowd white folks out of their seats at Moody Church. But the colored minister who was invited to the conference, refused to have anything to do with it, hense absented himself. It is now said that the question of prejudice had never come up and nothing of the kind ever thought of until the present time, the standing of the church being held so high above such narrow thought during the life of its founder.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS
‘The name Manassas conjures up in
the minds of most people in this coun-
try the great struggle between the
North and the South on the battlefield
of Bull Run fitty years ago, in that
brother-against-brother strife for the
freedom for the Negro. It seems,
therefore, peculiarly fitting that on
this battlefield which witnessed such
hayoe and bloodshed for the emanci-
pation of these people, there should
spring up a school where they might
learn the value and usefulness of the
liberty won for them at so great a
cost. Such a school—a school of ey-
eryday common-sense training with in-
dustrial work supplemented by practi-
cal academic studies—came into exist-
ence there twenty years ago, under
the guiding hand of a colored woman,
Jennie Dean.
‘The founding of the Manassas In-
dustrial Sehool for Colored Youth is
really the life-story of Jennie Dean.
Her parents were slaves, but of the
most intelligent class of Negroes, her
father having been taught to read and
write early in life. He was ambitious
after the war, to own his farm, but
died before he had finished paying for
it. Jennie Dean, then a young girl,
left home and went into service in
Washington, her wages going to pay
the balance on the farm, as well as
to pay her younger sister's tuition at
college.
Jennie Dean's life in Washington
brought to ler full realization of the
danger her people run in migrating
to the cities, and she made up her
mind to try to do something to keep
them at home. Her first work toward
this was the starting of a Sunday
schoo] one summer while on a visit
home, which later developed, through
her efforts, into the founding of a
chureb in Manassas, During the time
that she was conducting these Sun-
day school classes and working for the
church, Jennie Dean was also hold-
ing Saturday afternoon classes in
cooking and sewing, and through this
work she realized the possibilities
which might develop out of training of
this sort for young colored people.
She spent twelve years in this mis-
sion work before she determined to
devote herself to the industrial edu-
cation of the Negroes of northern Vir-
sinia and to found a school for that
plrpose. She knew the danger that
lurked in the cities for these young
people, but she also realized the dis-
couraging situation which confronted
them if they remained at home. She
was mindful of the skilled labor of
slavery days, and bemoaned the fact
that nothing had come to replace that
industrial side. By this time, Jennie
Dean's influence had become very
strong in the community, so that they
were all ready to help her when she
called the people together and said:
“Keep your children at home. Don’t
send them to the cities. You must
buy your land; become taxpayers.
Make all you can and save all you
can. Meanwhile, I will go out and
raise the money to build a school
where your children may be educated
to trades. You do your part here,
and I will do mine in the world.”
While Negroes have progressed, poy-
erty still shows its handicap. The
death rate of Negroes in thirty-three
northern cities, each having a Negro
population of at least 2,500 in 1910,
was 25.1 per thousand. This was a
decrease of 2 per thousand in a de-
cade, but it was still very high in
comparison with the white death rate
of 15.7 per thousand, incidentally a
It has been a practice in the recent
past among our people to stand off and
criticize the wayward young Negro
and make no effort to help him. Many
of us charged him with being respon-
sible for his lost and ruined condition
and fussed at him for not turning vol-
untarily to the paths of rectitude and
for not healing his own ills, Others
of us blamed our schools and educa-
tional institutions for these lamentable
conditions, always seeming to excuse
parents for their responsibility in the
matter.
All of which was wide of the mark.
It is beginning to dawn now upon
the majority of us that there is no
effective substitute for good home
training. Neither schools, colleges nor
reformatories can do a work for the
young as effectively as the home. The
schools and colleges do all within their
power for the morals of the young;
the most of their time must of neces-
sity be spent in technical or book in-
struction, which of itself may or may
not better the morals. But conditions
which compel fathers and mothers in
Negro homes to become breadwinners
to the neglect of the shildren, force

lowering of 2.5 per thousand for the
whites,
A comparison for twenty-four south-
ern cities showed a rate of 29.6 for
Negroes, a decrease of 4 per thou-
sand, and 16.9 for whites, a decrease
of 2.9 from 1900. Malaria, tubercu-
Josis, pneumonia and whooping cough
Seqm to be more deadly among Ne-
groes than among whites, while Ne-
groes are better able to withstand
measles, scarlet fever, diph€heria, can-
cer, appendicitis, diarrhea and vio-
lence. Also fewer Negroes commit
suicide. .
Dr. W. F. Brunner, health officer
of Savannah, Ga., shows clearly in
the current survey, how much of a
menace this high death rate is to
both Negroes and whites in the South.
In 191% there were about 39,000
whites and 42,000 Negroes in Savan-
nah. Deaths from natural causes to-
taled 1,038 among the Negroes and
only 442 among the whites. The in-
famous housing upon city dwelling
Negroes, North and South, account
for this great disparity.’ Of course,
however, the city which permits a
“high death rate among Negroes pays
the penalty among all its people.
‘Bacteria are color blind.
‘That the mortality rate among the
colored population is vastly higher
than among the whites has long been
known, But efforts to learn the cause
and to remedy the trouble have not
yet gone very far. The New York de-
partment of health, however, is going
into that task with an energy that
promises good results.
It is taking up the task with the co-
operation of various colored civic or-
ganizations, all under an impulse giv-
en by Booker Washington and the
National Negro Business league. It is
generally understood that this heavy
death rate is the result of ignorance as
to the most sanitary methods of life
and the care of ailments in their in-
ception. For example, two types of
disease are notable for abnormally
large death rates among the colored
people. ‘These are infant mortality
and tuberculosis. But in both of them
it has been shown that right methods
of living and care in the treatment
of the disease can produce a notable
saving of life.
The work of training the Negroes
to the style of life that will lower mor-
tality is eminently notable in itself.
But it is even more so with regard to
its effect on the whites. Living as
they do, close to us, even when segre-
gated, they cannot convert their quar-
ters into breeding places for disease
without enlarging the danger of in-
fection for the white population. It is
to be hoped that the New York effort
to improve that evil will be success-
ful and widely copied.
The will of Lemuel Googins, a col-
ored barber of Baltimore, who died

Mumper Will Endeavor to Have Ques-
tion of Abolishing Tax Board
Submitted to Voters in 1916.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.—Despite the fact that to all
appearances the most cordial relations
existed, the annual meeting of the as-
sessors was made the occasion for a
movement to abolish the state taxing
board.
A. L, Mumper, assessor of Weld
county, is the prime mover in the plan,
He has made it known that before
the general election in 1916 he will
attempt to obtain the necessary signa-
tures to a petition to submit to the
voters the question of abolishing the
tax commission. Several other asses-
sors agreed to co-operate in the plan
through the circulation of similar pe-
titions in their counties.
In addition to the reports of the
committees on mine taxation and
lands and improvements, the assess-
ors adopted the recommendations of
the livestock committee for the fixing
of valuations on stock. The report re-
commended the following valuations:
Beef steers, fed, 360 to $80; steers
in bunches, 1 year old, $30, 2 years
old $40, and 3 and 4 years old $50 to
$65; range cattle in bunches, ages
from 6 months old upward, $35 to $40;
straight bunches of range cows, $40
to $55; dogas at the discretion of the
assessor, ‘but must be shown in the
abstract as dogas, from $60 to $75;
broncho milk cows, $45; work horses,
first class, 1,400 pounds and upward,
$150; horses from 1,200 to 1,400
pounds, $100; horses from 900 to 1,100
pounds, $50 to $65; bunches of range
horses, $35 to $50; stallions, Jacks and
bulls to be left to assessor's judg:
ment first-class mules, heavy, $200;
medium size mules, $100 to $150;
light mules, $50 to $75; range sheep,
$3.50 to $4.50; sheep fed in transit,
$2.50; swine, 6 cents per pound; pack
burros, $15; sheep camp burros, $5;
chickens, 35 per dozen and other poul-
try in proportion; bees, $3 per stand.
‘The committee on automobile valu-
ation recommended that the valuations
be fixed as follows:
Machines purchased since Jan. 1, 90
per cent of the cost price; machines
1 year old, 70 per cent of the cost
price; machines 2 years old, from 40
to 60 per cent of the cost price; ma-
chines more than 2 years old, values
to be left to the judgment of the as-
sessor.
U. S. Income Tax Increases $117,000.
Denver.—The United States inter-
nal revenue department for the dis-
trict of Colorado shows that the in-
comes of the wealthy in this region
have increased during the past year,
in spite of the fact that all business
is supposed. to have suffered a_re-
trenchment. During ten months of the
last fiscal year, in which the personal
income tax law was effective, $128,000
was collected. This year, Internal
Revenue Collector Mark A. Skinner
says a smaller number of people will
pay nearly $245,000, The tax income
for corporations remains nearly the
same, Which shows that the increased
personal incomes are not due to any
business retrenchment. Both forms.
of tax will total at least $600,000.
These taxes, together with the re-
celpts from the special war tax on
beer, wines, liquors, tobacco dealers,
places of amusement, ete., will give
the federal government an income of
$1,500,000 for one year from this dis-
trict.

|- London, May 28.—The American
steamer Nebraskan which was dis:
abled by an explosion off the coast of
Ireland arrived in Liverpool Thursday.
Captain Greene of the Nebraskan said
“I saw no submarine, but am cer-
tain it was a torpedo which hit us.
Moreover. a submarine could not have
failed to see our name and nationality
which was outlined in huge letters on
our sides.’
The forward part of the ship. is

Ambassador Page cabled the State
Department at Washington that Cap
tain Greene of the Nebraskan had giv-
en the naval attache of the embassy a
sworn statement at Liverpool con-
cerning the explosion on his ship off
the Irish coast and that the attache
was returning to London. Lieutenant
Powers, the attache, was accompanied
to Liverpool by Naval Constructor Me-
Bride, who is expected to make an ex-
amination, with the hope of ascertain-
ing definitely whether the Nebraskan
was damaged by a mine, or a torpedo.
The British battleship Majestic, an-
other of the ships supporting the al-
lied army on the Gallipoli peninsula,
was torpedoed and sunk by a German
submarine. Nearly all the officers

The anniversary of this never-to-be-forgotten day has come again—Sunday, May 30—and the impression it has made in the years past is still fresh in the minds of the American people. In Denver and throughout the country, while the churches will speak on this event tomorrow, the celebration which embodies Decoration Day will be held on Monday, 31st. Survivors from both sides—the Blue and the Gray—will parade; veterans who fought for Confederacy will march in parade as guests of the Grand Army of the Republic; one hundred Spanish-American war veterans, sixty veterans of foreign wars and several companies of Colorado State National Guard will take part, giving us a reminder of what transpired in the years gone by. The Women's Relief Corps, Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic, Daughters of Veterans, auxiliary organizations, will have charge of the ceremonies at the burial grounds. Men crippled, blind, too feeble to tramp in the sun, will ride in autos following the main body of the parade, this specially presenting an aspect too vivid to describe, as it proves the result of true patriots to their country. Other events taking place on this day will be the Y. M. C. A. field day exercises. With all these engagements and events there is a deep feeling, a touch of pathos, a striking reminiscence that looms before us, and that is—"the memory of our honored dead. The celebration of Memorial Day has gone beyond the confines of the soldier's grave, as it has extended and expanded itself to the great area of "our departed loved ones," and therefore we go heart in heart, hand in hand to the various burial places, not mourning "the lost, the dear," but demonstrating our gratitude for some service they performed; our love for some ray of hope that illumined the home before their departure; the faith in the resurrection of the body, which encourages and cherishes the thought of meeting our loved ones again, by decorating their graves with flowers, the choicest and most beautiful, emblematic of a lasting memory and the TIE THAT BINDS.
This anniversary, being so important an one in this country, strikingly serves as a reminder that Americans can not easily forget, as when the call to duty comes, when service is required for the maintenance of peace and the preservation of the nation's integrity, when unswerving and loyal obedience to the flag is demanded and the honor and dignity of this great republic must be upheld, all classes, creeds and colors of her citizens must forget prejudices and petty strifes and in one grand combination prosecute her cause for the suppression of wrongdoing, whether internally or externally, the uplift of humanity and the progress of the world. The Colorado Statesman hopes an entertainment of these truths from the inhabitants of

West of Macon, Ga., at present a Presbyter of Knox Presbytery, recently appointed assistant pastor to the People's church with work assigned at Union Presbyterian church, Dearfield, will preach the sacramental sermon at the forenoon services and participate in celebrating the Communion of the Lord's Supper. He leaves during that week to enter his term of office.
At a recent meeting of the congregation by a decided vote the second Sabbath of July was set apart as a day of great financial sacrifice for the raising of our annual funds to meet our obligation to the Board of Church Erection, as well as defray our special assessment dues to the city and county of Denver. Without exception every member is called upon to exercise his Christian duty at this particular time. "The Lord loveth a cheerful giver." Your fame in the Presbytery of Denver as a self-sacrificing communicant membership should be an incentive whereby your reputation will be sustained.
Rex Allaman, a traveling man who visits Clovis regularly, tells this story, says the Clovis (N. M.) Journal: "I was telling a lady friend in Atchison recently about the prairie dogs out here. I said, 'Why, there are thousands and thousands of prairie dogs on the plains.' The woman expressed surprise and said: 'What are they doing? Watching the sheep?'

least two years of college work in a reputable college. The study of medicine itself covers four years of nine months each, and some medical schools now require an additional year as an interne in a hospital. This makes seven years of study for one who already has a high-school education. After graduation from a medical school, every graduate must take a state board examination.
The study itself is very difficult, and the hours of study in a medical school are usually from nine in the morning to 5:30 in the evening, six days a week. A great deal of home study is required. The cost of tuition and books is usually about $200 a year.
The student must have a tendency toward philosophy and psychology and the study of human nature, in order to be able to go into the details of modern medicine. Especially if he has to work his way through, he must possess determination and perseverance. He must tend strictly to his studies and must sacrifice a great many pleasures.
He should realize that the medical profession is a noble one, and that there are higher things in life than the mere pursuit of money. From a financial standpoint the medical profession is a poor one, considering the money and time that must be invested in the study. The average physician, contrary to the prevailing idea, does not make more than a fair living, and a great many well-educated physicians have a hard time to make even that. The prospective medical student must also have in mind that he must remain a scholar and student through his whole life, and that when he graduates he has only a very limited, more or less theoretical knowledge of the practice of medicine.
If anyone thinks he can fulfill these requirements, it is well for him to take up the study of medicine, otherwise I would not advise him to do it, as statistics show that only about two-thirds of all the students who take up the study of medicine ever graduate and enter practice.
dislike. It's the ink used in printing the type that makes the moths stay away. That is why, in the absence of moth-proof bags and cedar chests, some housewives pack their furs and woolens away wrapped in newspapers at the end of the winter season and find that is a satisfactory way of preserving them against the ravages of moths. There is nothing better than old newspapers for use under the carpets for the same reason.
Old newspapers have many other uses as well. Wet in water, they serve to clean out the stove splendidly. Crushed newspapers are excellent to clean lamp chimneys. They can even be used for an iron holder for an emergency.
Newspapers dipped in lamp oil are useful for cleaning windows. Irons not much soiled can be rubbed on old newspapers and thus made fit for use. Dipped in lamp oil, they are splendid to rub the outside of the dishpan. They keep it bright and shining. Torn in shreds, slightly dampened and scattered over the carpet, they keep down dust when sweeping. They clean the sink of its grease and sediment; nothing is better, for the greasy paper can be at once burned after use.
Many times folded newspapers will serve as a mat to stand hot and blackened pots or kettles on and save soiling the kitchen table. The kitchen stove is kept bright after the cooking of each meal with old papers, and this saves many polishings.
That's the reason foreigners make such headway with American women. They never forget to be deferential and courteous, to say the little things and to do the little things that warm the cockles of the feminine heart. This may be all wrong. Perhaps she ought to appreciate the character more than the veneer. But she doesn't. The average woman isn't practical. She's romantic. She likes roses and bonbons. Many men give her cabbage and beefsteak. Cabbage and beefsteak are all right, but as a steady diet they are tiresome. She'll take less cabbage and beefsteak if thereby she may have some roses and bonbons.
A woman likes a man to look healthy and to be well groomed. She likes a vigorous body, a healthy skin and a look that betokens a daily acquaintance with the bath tub, not merely because she likes beauty, though she does, but because these things betoken good habits.
A woman, if she is a wife or a sweetheart, likes expressions of love. She gets tired of taking a man's love for granted. It grows faint and faraway, and life is cold and commonplace, when he does not tell her in actual words he loves her, and show her by actual caresses how much. To some men this seems all foolishness. They think that paying bills is the best proof of their love. But again, most women are not practical, and bills are uninteresting things, not half so enjoyable or warm and vital as a kiss or a caress.
from barbarism to such culture as is afforded by letters, that the reading of poetry is so much needed.
In the first place, we are apt today to place too much stress upon the merely material things of life; we need something to counteract this tendency. Poetry does this to a greater degree than any other kind of reading; poetry strives to express the ideal.
Again, because of the use of the telephone, typewriter, phonograph and other mechanical devices, we of this age are falling into easy and therefore slovenly methods of expression. Poetry, because of its limitations as to rule and form, necessarily cultivates the art of correct and epigrammatic expression. As our mental habits are largely formed by our reading, we evidently need poetry more than ever.
Besides, poetry makes for a better rhythmic sense, a finer perception of beauty and a higher culture generally.

To Recover Drowned Bodies.

Jackson, Florence Smith, Gracie Cat-

pressed very favorably the critical
audience with the talent possessed by
them to become successful artists
under careful training and good man-
agement. Mrs. L. Jackson, who is the
manager of this dramatic club, and
whose™ indefatigable efforts were re-
warded by the general expression of
satisfaction and applause from the

in this work, as she is really manu-

display in the world of the drama,
which, while it is almost dead in some

Day of Great Rejoicing in this thirtieth of May vate rejoici

HE thirtieth of May in 1862 was
T made memorable in Civil war his-
tory by the evacuation of Corinth,
Miss. The seizure of this Confederate
stronghold by the Union armies was
an event which, estimated by its re-
sults, may be regarded as the first im-
portant event of the war. Since the
first of May Halleck had been trying
to gain possession of this stronghold,
which, at that time, was held by Beau-
regard. In the meantime Old Farm-
ington, the strongly fortified outpost
ot the Confederacy, about four miles
from Corinth, had been given up; Mar-
maduke, who had been in command
there, had retired to Corinth to re-
enforce Beauregard. The Union
forces had taken possession of Old
Parmington, had cut off Beauregard’s
railroad connections to the north and
east and had, by the twenty-ninth of
May, succeeded ingworking their way
to a position nea, the Confederate
fortifications at Corinth, from which
an assault could be made.
It was Halleck’s intention to make
an assault on the following morning,
and he was expecting to meet with
strong resistance, But Halleck's ex-
pectations were not realized. All night
long the pickets and sentinels heard a
continuous roar of moving cars in
Corinth. At early dawn Halleck sent
out skirmishers, but no foe appeared
to oppose them. He then ordered
Sherman to advance with his troops
toward the Confederate fortifications
and to “feel the enemy.” But no en-
emy could be found. Where was he?
Out near Old Farmington there still
stands a tall tree which today is
pointed out to sightseers who visit
Corinth as “Lookout Tree” From the
top of this tree the Union spies, at the
time of the siege, with a field glass,
used to observe the movements of the
Confederate troops.
‘The morning of the thirtieth of May,
1862, these spies saw only the rear of
Beauregard’s army far to the south of
Corinth fleeing down the Mobile rail-
road. The enemy whom Sherman had
been sent to “feel” had escaped. The
city had been evacuated and left as a
prize of war to the Union army.
On this thirtieth of May there was
much rejoicing in the northern states,
for all through the month of May the
people there had been awaiting the
outcome of this siege. On the follow-
ing morning there appeared in the
New York Tribune a long editorial be-
ginning thus:
“Another stronghold of the rebels
has fallen, Corinth is reannexed to
the Union, and Beauregard’s army is
flying down the Mobile railroad in
anxious search for the ‘last ditch.’ ”
‘This tells the story. Soon after the
thirtieth of May of the preceding year
the battle of Bull Run had given the
Confederates a strong footing in the
East, but since the beginning of the
year 1862 the Union forces had been
gaining a series of victories in the
Mississippi valley; Pea Ridge, Shiloh,
Island Number Ten, New Madrid and
Fort Donelson had prepared the way
‘PHOTOBY FRANK FOURNIER,
for the victory at Corinth. The result
of this victory was the establishment
of the power of the Union in the West.
One week later Memphis fell, as it
were, by its own weight. This gave
the Union forces control of the Missis-
sippi, the only important stronghold
in the Mississippi valley that re-
mained secure to the Confederates.
While the people in the North on
this thirtieth of May were rejoicing
over the victory of their soldiers at
Corinth and over the results which
they felt would inevitably follow, what
about the people in the South? Nearly
a year had now passed since the vic-
tory of the Confederate soldiers at
the battle of Bull Run. When the news
of this victory had come to the south-
‘ern people many of them thought the
war was over. So general was this
impression that many of the southern
soldiers had gone back to their
homes, thinking that there would be
‘no further need of their services
The evacuation of Corinth cast a
gloom over the whole South, but there
still remained with the southern peo-
ple an implicit confidence in the army
of northern Virginia, which was, on
that day, holding its own in defense of
Richmond.

MARKED END OF BITTERNESS
Pathetic Theltenthin Southern Ceme-
Wartime Grief.
For a long time there was a rigid
rule against erecting any but Federal
monuments in Federal battlefield
cemeteries and Confederate monu-
ments in Confederate cemeteries, But
as time passed and the bitterness
healed slabs were placed here and
there denoting that a one-time enemy
slept among the others. When Me-
morial day came the flowers were
placed ungrudgingly on the alien's
mound.
In one of the southern cemeteries
where a northern soldier rests there
was for a long time a practice of dec-
orating every Confederate grave with
a tiny Confederate flag—the Stars and
Bars. As the survivors and the wid.
ows and orphans of the Confederate
dead came spring after spring to
strew their flowers and plant their
flags they halted at the Yankee sol-
dier’s grave for a second with bitter
thoughts Finally, as time passed and
their grief lessened, they placed flow-
ers on their foeman’s grave also,
In 1872, as a young widow of one of
the dead Confederates went with her
little daughter to decorate the graves,
the girl noticed that no Confederate
flag had been placed on the northern
soldier's mound. So she placed one
there. The chairman of the Memorial
committee, passing by, removed it.
The little girl burst into tears and
it was hard to explain things so as to
satisfy her. Her elders began to think
over the incident.
‘The next month, when the widow
again went to the cemetery, she
brought with her a small Stars and
Stripes, which she had procured only
after considerable difficulty.
| This she silently handed her little
daughter, who placed it lovingly on
the Yankee soldier's grave.

she was as silent as an Indian. Now
and again, as she dressed, she looked
at herself closely,:almost anxiously, in
her cracked mirror. With the knuckle
of her forefinger she occasionally
brushed away a fog of tears which
blinded her. And then she hurried
down the stairs, out the back door and
across the lawn to Mrs. Winthrop’s
baby, who was playing under the Iilac
hedge.
“Bye, Hilma,” he called, waving his
fat little hand and holding up a spray
of white Hlac.
‘The girl took him in her arms for a
second, burying her face in his chubby
neck. “T’ank you, little Yon,” she
murmured in her poor, broken Eng.
lish, “Hilma love sveet little boys
yust like you,” and putting him gently
from her she took the spray of lilacs
and hurried away.
“Well, did you see that?” remarked
Mrs. Winthrop indignantly to her hus.
band. “If Hilma had known I was
here at the library window she never
would have dared help herself to our
white lilacs. But Swedes are all
alike; they have no more soul than an
oyster; they're mercenary and unprin
cipled, through and through. I admit
though, that Hilma is something of a
mystery. Do you know that in all the
two years she has lived here she has
never once gone out in the evening,
or had a single visitor? I suppose her
sweetheart works nights, some place,
so she can see him only on her day
out. I ought never to have taken her,
as I did, without a reference.” Mrs.
Winthrop was young, and lacked both
experience and mentality. She had
nothing to do, and a great deal of time
in which to do it; hence Hilma’s short-
comings fretted her considerably. “I
suppose the girl will wear those lilacs
to some Swedish picnic,” was her final
comment; and she returned to her
novel and her chocolates.
Meanwhile Hilma hurried across
lots toward a car. There was need for
haste. She had a two hours’ ride be-
fore her, a task to accomplish, and
was expected home again in time to
cook dinner. How crowded the cars
were! How often they stopped! What
a lot of people swarmed the streets! —
soldiers, flags, bands playing martial

music. She had never heard of Me-
morial day; she knew only that she
must reach a remote spot far at the
other side of town, and that if she did
not hurry dinner would be late. Again
and again she changed cars, until,
weary and half-frightened, she came
at last to her destination.
Between the high pickets of the
fence before her she could see tall
elms and maples waving their arms in
the chill air. And the crowds of peo-
ple were in there, too! Could it be
that the whole world knew why she
had come? With a sense of giddiness
and a stifling pain at her heart she
hastened, half blindly, through the
iron gates and away toward a far of,
lonely corner where the crowds were
not, She saw a bright gleam of flags
and flowers, heard a babel of voices
and music—“The land of the free and
the home of the brave,” sang a chorus
of voices as she passed; “we here
highly resolve that these dead shall
not have died in vain,” declaimed an
orator close by; but nobody noticed
her as she hurried down the smooth,
winding roadway.
It was a very small grave—scarcely
three feet long, and with the imprint
of the spade still showing in the fresh.
ly turned earth. There was neither
grass, nor headstone above it; yet, in
@ vague way, Hilma felt that it con-
tained her whole life and soul—all the
joy of her past, all the hope of her
future. Over yonder, young soldiers
in bright uniforms, and old soldiers in
faded ones, paid tribute to their hon.
ored dead; while upon this little,
dreary grave a lonely girl laid a spray
of white lilacs in commemoration of
the great battle which she had fought
—and lost.
She was setting the dinner table
whem young Mrs. Winthrop swept
into the room, carrying a bowl of
white lilacs.
“I suppose you hada good time, Hil-
ma?” remarked her mistress, careless:
ly. “Did you wear those lilacs?”
The girl looked up, startled. “Your
little Yon, he give dem to me,” she
explained, quietly. “I t'ank you. Dey
vas yerra syeet. Vear dem? No,
ma‘am, I not vear dem—I give dem to

gripped Hilma’s throat, and a quick
Tush of tears blinded the wide blue
eyes. For a brief moment she felt

DAY OFT OBSERVED
Memorial Ceremonies Over Fallen
Soldiers Really Date Back
to Spring of 1865.
HE readiness with which the sow
kas of the Civil war became
quiet citizens at the close of the
war greatly puzzled foreigners at that
time. Foreigners do not realize that
it has never been the policy of our
people to maintain a large standing
army. The soldiers of the Union and
the soldiers of the Confederacy were
nearly all volunteers. Both armies
were composed, in the main, of law-
abiding men, who left their homes in
obedience to what they thought was
their duty. The contest was one of
principle; not one of personal revenge.
The matter being settled, they were
ready to return to their accustomed
occupations.
‘The readiness with which the Union
and Confederate soldiers now unite in
observing Memorial day also puzzles
foreigners, They think that it is a
mere matter of expediehcy which was
brought about in 1898, when some of
the old Union and Confederate sol-
diers marched side by side under the
Stars and Stripes. But such is not
the case. The Blue and the Gray had
been united in the observance of Me-
morial day before the war with
Spain.
Memorial day, as it is now formally
observed as a legal holiday in a ma-
Jority of the states, was inaugurated
in 1868. Gen. John B. Logan, who was
at that time commander-in-chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic, issued an
order to all surviving Union soldiers
to meet May 30 of that year, at the
cemeteries near their respective
posts, and to decorate the graves of
their fallen comrades. But the cere:
mony, in an informal way, had been
observed since the spring of 1865 in
the South, where the custom originat-
ed. The ceremonies at the graves of
the Confederate dead in Hollywood
cemetery at Richmond, Va. in the
spring of 1867 were being observed at
tho time Mrs. John B, Logan happened
to be visiting in that city, She was so
pleased with the simple beauty of
these ceremonies that she urged her
husband to inaugurate similar ceremo-
nies for the Union soldiers. It was
these ceremonies that suggested the
idea to General Logan.
The idea of uniting the ceremonies
6f the northern and the southern peo-
ple seems to have originated, also, in
the South, for in the spring of 1867
the women’ of Columbus, Miss., while
decorating the gxaves of Confederate
soldiers, vtrewed flowers on the grayes
of the Union soldiers who were buried
in the same cemetery. When the news
of this touching tribute reached the
North, the northern newspapers com-
mented favorably on the fact.
Since that time the sentiment ex-
pressed in it has been growing among
the American people. The monument
erected at Fitzgerald, Ga., by the Bluo
and Gray Memorial assdbiation of that
place is one of the best visible expres
sions of this sentiment, __
(Copyright, 1915, by W. G. Chapman.)
"Oh, Hugh Evans is easy," boasted big fat Basil Drake. "He's a good fellow, all right. He's friendly and accommodating. Too much so for his own good. Hasn't any ginger in him, though. Wish I could marry him off and see him settle down for life."
Well might bluff, hearty, but intensely selfish Basil Drake speak indulently and patronizingly of his cousin, Hugh Evans. Years before Drake had been a clerk of the senior Evans. When the latter died he turned the business over to Drake.
"All I ask, Basil," he said, "is that you take care of my boy. Help him along until he can take care of himself, and if you feel like giving him a start in life, then, so much the better."
Now, Drake had done fairly well for this quasi ward, in his own estimation. He had sent him to school and provided for him, but he found Hugh a good helper about the store and had kept him ground down in a business way. Of late Mrs. Drake had intimated that she wished Hugh would find quarters elsewhere, not that she disliked him, but the growing family needed all the living room in the house.
Hugh was a good man. When that was said, it covered the case. He was honest, industrious, sympathetic and kindly to all humanity. The Drake system had in a measure tended to suppress ambition, but the mental and spiritual aspirations of the man were pure and strong. He was content to remain in the humble situation fate seemed to have awarded him. As for the rest, truthfulness and earnest sentiments of humanity for all his fellow creatures gave to Hugh that greatest of all blessings, a peaceful mind. It was towards the close of a fair spring day that Hugh, passing down a squalid street in the poorer portion
7
"Do It," Chuckled Drake.
of the town, paused to take in an unusual scene that appealed powerfully to his warm, sympathetic nature.
A small heap of wretchedly poor furniture lay on the sidewalk, evidently just removed from a two-room tenement. In its midst, wan, poorly dressed and evidently ill, was a young girl of about eighteen. Tears filled her eyes and the look of blank despair in her fired face made Hugh's heart ache. A motherly looking woman with a brood of tattered children at her heels was trying to console the poor girl. Her efforts seemed vain. As she stepped aside Hugh spoke to her and asked her the vision of the distressing scene.
"Oh, sir, it's pitiful." broke out the genuine-souled creature. "She is Ivy Moore. Her father, who was an old physician without a practice, died a month ago. She has been ill since and today they evicted her and the poor sticks of furniture you see. She is crushed. Oh, she has had so little of joy in life that she is heartbroken! I asked her to make her home with us until she is strong and well, but she will not do it, knowing how poor we are, dear soul!" "She must do just that," declared Hugh determinedly. "I will give you some money. You must see to it that she has care and food and nursing." "Bless you, sir! the poor creature needs it," and the woman went back to the girl and talked with her earnestly. Hugh thrilled as the stricken creature cast a glance of gratitude upon him. Then, overcome, she sank back unconscious.
They took her into the rooms of the woman, who promised to care diligently for her charge. Hugh gave her some money. He told Drake the pitiful story of the girl when he got back to the store.
"Humph! You must have money to throw away," remarked his unfeeling relative. "I say, you seem gone on her. I knew her father. A respectable old 'has been. Why don't you marry her—that would solve the problem of a poor homeless girl needing a friend?" Hugh blushed to the roots of his
Hugh blushed to the roots of his hair, but he said, with dignity:
"If I felt myself worthy of that
sweet, patient creature I might con- consider your suggestion."
"Do it," chuckled Drake, "and I'll give you a house and lot as a wedding present."
"You mean that, do you?" interrupted Hugh, rather grimly.
"I do—ha! ha! Sure, I do!" guffawed Drake, as though he was enjoying some immense joke. You give me a sort of cancellation of all obligations and the property I have in mind you shall have."
"That's generous of you, Basil," said Hugh, in his usual way of humility.
He never forgot the evening, one week later, when Ivy, nursed back to strength and hope, listened to his simple appeal.
"I am a lonesome man, you are a lonesome girl. I offer you a home. I think we could be very happy together."
"Oh! If I could think you would not tire of me—I, so poor, so unused to love and tenderness! I could slave for you and be happy in the merest hut," she said.
Basil Drake, in his coarse way, laughed uproariously as, a month before the wedding, he took Hugh to see "the house and lot."
A narrow strip of land two hundred feet wide, half a mile in length, lay between the hills. Once there had been a house there. It had been burned down. All that was left was a substantial but rough tool house.
"There's your house and lot, just as I promised," he said.
Hugh winced, but he said quietly:
"Thank you. I think I can make it do."
He set at work to make the big roomy shell comfortable. One day while he was hard at work a stranger came to him.
"I understand you own the valley strip here clear to the next section line," he remarked.
"That's right," replied Hugh.
"Got a deed to it?"
"A week ago, all clear and recorded."
"We are surveying for a district sewer system," explained the man. "I represent the county board of improvements. Your land has a natural slant and could be utilized without excavating. Would you sell?"
"Why, I suppose I would," answered Hugh. "I've considered the land, so low and narrow, rather valueless, but—"
"I can offer you five thousand dollars," said the man.
Hugh was dazed. It seemed as if the coffers of Croesus had been suddenly set at his disposal.
"I'll—I'll take it," he all but gasped, a wild, joyous vision of a little two thousand dollar rose-embowered cottage nearer town filling his vision. Then he signed a contract to accept five thousand dollars for the strip of ground, the "house and lot" shrewd, calculating Basil Drake had "put over upon him."
Drake looked chagrined and mad when he learned of the transaction.
One glorious evening, that of their plain, simple wedding day, Hugh Evans led his bride to the little cottage of which he was the proud owner.
"Oh, Hugh!" she breathed ecstatically, as he led her up the path to the rose-glorified home, "this is not ours?"
"Ours, my dear, yours and mine," he said.
She put her loving arms about his neck. The blue heavens seemed to smile down upon them. Then, true children of the heart, they passed the humble portal of what was to them the most beautiful palace in all the wide, wide world.
"Blue Stockings."
The name, "blue stockings," as applied to highly intellectual women, originated in England in the eighteenth century. Boswell tells of the origin in his "Life of Johnson." Some leading London women used to give evening parties for eminent literary men. One of the sought-after men of the time was a Benjamin Stillingfleet, whose dress was "remarkably grave," and who always wore blue stockings. If he were late to a party it used to be said, "We can do nothing without the blue-stocking." "Thus by degrees," says Boswell, "the title was established." It became classic in a poem by Hannah More, "Bas Bleu," describing a Blue-Stocking club.
Billy Missed Something.
My sister going to call one day on a school chum, took her little son along. While there, the hostess served refreshments on a highly polished table, with only a centerpiece in the center of the table. It looked like a regular meal to Billy, who looked first at his mother and then at the hostess in a puzzled way. They both began to eat, and finally Billy with a little sigh, seriously lifted his glass and plate and spread out his napkin under them. His mother wanted to know why he was doing that, and Billy, glancing furtively at the hostess, who appeared not to be noticing, whispered: "Sh! She forgot the tablecloth."—Chicago Tribune.
Absolute Size of the Stars.
The latest attempt to determine the absolute diameter of a number of fixed stars is that of Signor Ferrara of Termo, Italy, who publishes his results in the Rivisita di Astronomia. Among the stars having a measureable parallax he estimates, from photometric measurements, that Canopus is the largest, with a diameter fifty-one times as great as that of the sun. Other large stars, and the ratios of their diameters to that of the sun, are: Castor, 18; Arcturus, 10.4; Poliux, 8.7; Capella, 8; Vega, 6.8. Such determinations are, of course, highly problematical.

First Medicinal Drug Plant Farm in the World
WASHINGTON.—A medicinal drug plant farm on a large scale a thing unique in the annals of horticulture in this country and abroad, has been established by American scientists on the Virginia hills just opposite the
just across the Potomac river. The new drug plant farm is established on the property of John B. Henderson, Jr., who has taken a scientific interest in the matter and has turned over his land to those in charge for a long period of years.
At the drug farm in Virginia about forty-five acres of land are being planted with drug plants this year, and it is planned to very much increase this acreage next year. Already enough selected belladonna plants for five acres have been brought up under glass. Big beds containing 100,000 ginseng roots have been set out in the woodlands. Other plants which are being grown include cannabis, larkspur, golden seal or hydrastis, Japanese peppermint, senega, colchium and springelia.
Uncle Sam Might Have Replaced Marian's Dolly
ONE fine summer day little seven-year-old Marian Coggeshall was playing with her dolly at her home at Cape Cottage, Me. At intervals the great guns at Fort Williams, near Cape Elizabeth, boomed terribly and shook the base.
plained to her exactly how such claims were attended to, little thinking that Marian had any intention of placing the matter before the authorities at Washington. Marian said nothing, but she went to her little writing desk and penned the following letter:
"Dear Mr. Adjutant General:
"When the big guns were fired last week it shook the house so badly that my Precious dolly fell onto the floor and was broken to Pieces. May I ask the Government for another dolly. She was not very big, but She was my Pet and I loved her very much. Yours truly."
The letter was received by the adjutant general and given the official designation of document No. 1949121. The matter was referred to the quartermaster general for investigation. Then it went to the commanding general of the eastern division of the army, Maj. Gen. William H. Barry, stationed at New York. Finally the matter reached Col. George T. Bartlett, who commanded the artillery division at Fort Williams.
Colonel Bartlett called Mrs. Coggeshall on the telephone and told her of the official document. Marian's mother was greatly surprised, for she knew nothing of her daughter's action, and she assured the officer that Mr. Coggeshall would relieve the government of Marian's claim and buy the new doll himself.
So Marian's father bought here the doll and the matter ended right there. But Marian had a perfect right to ask the government to replace her doll, and if her mother had permitted it, her claim probably would have been granted.
Her letter still is on file at the war department here, and is regarded as one of the most novel documents ever received by the adjutant general.

Brides and bridesmaids, with the rest of womankind, are showing a preference for filmy fabrics. The bride often dispenses with the conventional white satin wedding gown and chooses one of lace or chiffon or if she be not inclined to depart from the conventional, inasmuch as her veil enshrubs her with a misty material of some sort, her wants are allowed to take advantage of all the airy materials in making choice for her apparel.

A hat, muff and fichu designed for the maids at a June wedding, bring into requisition three of the loveliest fabrics. The hat employs crepe georgette with the leghorn shape, the muff made of a leghorn plaque and shiffon and the pretty scarf or fichu is made of very fine net. This last item is one of those accessories which may do duty long after its initial parade, and will make

There is a certain pretty primness about the Bobby coiffure, besides its suggestive of youthfulness, to account for its ever-growing success. This particular style is developed in several ways but all of them are, first of all, neat. In them the hair seems to be carefully arranged and put in place—to stay in place. One cannot imagine it blown about. It is, in fact, pinned down with many small pins and further confined with a hair band of some sort. This manner of dressing it helps the coiffure to fulfill what is required of it. Of course this quality of neatness carries with it the impression of refinement.

In this style the hair at the sides is either cut short or dressed in such a way as to appear "bobbed." It is said the hair is benefited by being cropped, if it is thin, so that those whose locks are scanty may sacrifice some of them to the style without regret. But where the hair is abundant this is not to be considered. The cleverness of the hairdresser must be relied upon to dispose of the extra length by curling under the ends, or by combing them out of the way and substituting some acquired short hair for them. This is one of the styles in which long hair is more difficult to handle, than short hair. And it invites the use of extra pieces because they need only to be very light and are easily adjusted.
In the picture given here the coifure shown with the hair waved and part-

a modgst and pretty gift from the bride to the maids. This fichu is not long, but rather wide, is made of the finest brussels net with the edge finished with a narrow ruffle of the material. It is adorned with a small nosegay of fine millinery flowers, set against a quaint little plaque of lace. The hat has the upper brim covered with crepe and a soft crown of this material. On the underbrim of leghorn a rose is posed.
To make the muff a leghorn plaque is lined with shirred chiffon and edged with the graduated flouences of this material. The edges are caught together to form the muff and a finishing touch added in a rosebud set in its foliage. Nothing is quite so pretty as a bouquet or basket of flowers, but if, for the sake of novelty, or other reasons, something else must be used, a muff like this or all of pink chiffon, makes a lovely substitute.

ed at one side. The ends are turned under and pinned up to make the boobbed effect. A band of velvet ribbon holds the hair about the face in place. If short enough the hair may be turned under across the back or arranged in a series of puffs. Longer hair is coiled or braided and pinned low, against the crown. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
FRAME FOR THE SILHOUETTE
Best to Preserve Old-Time Style for Wall Decorations—Hard to Improve Upon.
Should you possess an old silhouette without a frame, and desire to properly preserve it under glass do not make the mistake of putting a modern setting about it. Avoid clean, white mats and new-looking molding.
Preserve as much of the time-honored yellow background as possible, and put an antique-looking oval or square frame of dull gilt about it, as frames of this kind are characteristic of the period when silhouettes were in vogue.
Black frames are also in good taste, but do not give the look of antiquity so well simulated by the dull gilt.
In treating the silhouette in any way it must be remembered that this form of art is old, and its immediate environment must be in keeping in order to preserve its charm.
