Our city had as its honored guest this week the first lady of the land, Madame Booker T. Washington, president of the N. A. C. W. C. and wife of the famous apostle of industrial education, Dr. Booker T. Washington. To say that Des Moines presented her best to entertain her is putting it mildly. Never have the ladies of our city been so eager and anxious to do honor to so worthy and distinguished representative of our race. From the time she arrived in our city when she was met at the depot by a delegation and from that time until she left it was one continued reception and honor shown her. She appeared to a good advantage and delivered an excellent lecture Monday evening. Tuesday morning she made three addresses at the North, East and West high schools. She met the governor and many of the state officials, took noon luncheon at the home of Mrs. Emerald Mash, one of her former students, after which she attended the very fashionable reception at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John L. Thompson, where she met nearly 300 ladies. She also visited the Billy Sunday tabernacle Tuesday evening, and it was soon rumored about that she was in the audience and she was called to the platform and was presented to the people. While there are other cities larger in population and more colored people, yet I dare say but few have given such enthusiastic a reception as the metropolis of Iowa. OUR HOLIDAY NUMBER This year our special Holiday and Christmas issue of the Iowa State Bystander will appear on the 18th and those wishing space in that number or cuts of distinguished persons of our race will please write in and send your matter so that it will reach our office not later than December 12th to insure its publication. We hope to make this issue one of the best holiday issued we have yet put forth. EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS. By John L. Thompson. Mr. Wm. Bailey is one of the leading young men of this camp. He is one of the waymen and was recently elected justice of the peace to succeed Mr. Anderson, who moved to Albia. There are barbers in this town run by Mr. Carey, another by Mr. Wolfskill, one by Mr. Goins and the other by Prof. Hicks, all doing fairly well. They have first class classes, with good assistants. Mr. J Lucas and son are still running their bakery. Mr. Lucas has a lucrative trade and is one of the bakers in Iowa. He is a Christian gentleman and a good businessman. Mr. John Wright is living here and still working at the same place and doing well. It was my pleasure to take a splendid dinner at his beautiful home. Mr. W. H. Humbles still owns his beautiful home and is doing nicely. There is a new restaurant near Maima or old No. 10 junction, known as the Johnson & Johnson restaurant. It is a first class restaurant and is a credit to Buxton. Mr. Wm. Blakey and Mr. Minor Watts are still on the farm. Mr. Wm. Tolar is still farming, also Mr. Ambrose Morris, Mr. Bates, Mr. Harris and that name are gathering their farm animals. The Hon Goe H. Woodson is still imparting legal light to the people of the camp. He owns a great deal of property here and elsewhere. The unfortunate thing is that he will not be this time next. Mr. John Jenkins and Baxer McDowell still own their acreage and are doing well. I think I can safely say that fully 2,000 acres of the rich Monroe and Mahaska counties are owned by Afro-Americans, which shows our financial progress. My next stop was at Hitemen. Here we found the camp about the same as usual. Mr. Nightingale's folks are still here. Mr. Reed is still engineer at the electric plant, although he will soon move to Eldora, Iowa. Mr. H. T盛顿 is enjoying good health and a visit from Mrs. C. F. Topson of Desain near this place. Mrs. M. A. Grayson still owns her farm near this place. Mrs. Ben Moore and Mary Boles are new visitors from here. subscribers in Hocking, Iowa, we found but few colored people there. Mr. J. L. Robinson is still running his barber shop and is doing well. Mr. John Wright is one of the reliable men here, also I. H. Headspeach. As this town was practically quarantined for smallpox, yet the interesting thing was that out of the many homes that were quarantined I did not see one of the colored homes quarantined, hence it seems that this is a white man's disease. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy—The Beverly Favorite. "I give Chamberlin's Cough Remedy to my children when they have soils or coughs," writes Mrs. Verne Shaffer, Vandergrift, Pa. It always helps them and is far superior to any other cough medicine I have used. I advise any in need of such a medicine to give it a trial." For sale by H.L. dealers.

FISK UNIVERSITY THE CHAM PION FOOTBALL TEAM. Fian Wins From Morehouse 7-0. (Special.) Fisk won from Morehouse college of Atlanta in the Thanksgiving game by the score of 7 to 0, thereby winning the all southern college football championship. Morehouse was outplayed in every department of the game, only once early in the first quarter being able to advance near their 30 yard line, where she was held out. One of the largest crowds in the history of the game turned out to witness the contest. Morehouse had been undefeated so far this season, having won from Talladega, Tuskegee, Atlanta university and Morristown. With a team averaging 175 pounds and exceptionally fast, it was generally conceded that the Fisk team, averaging less than 150 pounds, would do well to hold Morehouse to a close score. Few supporters believed that MMorehouse would be scoreless. Fisk brought into the field one of the best football machines in her history. Not only did every man play the game, but they seemed imbued with that wonderful fighting courage, known as Fisk spirit. There is nothing to be said again. MMorehouse to. To a player they played to the last whistle, but it was the case of a good team meeting a better one. Morehouse opened the game, kicking off to Fisk. Keen received the ball on his own five yard line and by most brilliant open field running returned the ball to the center of the field. The next three plays netted 15 yards, where Capt. Lewis standing on the 45 yard line attempted a field goal, missin gift by inches. The ball was then brought out to the 20 yard line, from which Morehouse by a series of line plunges and end runs carried the ball to Fisk's 40 yard line, where she was held for downs, thus ending the first quarter. Starting a series of line smashes varied by an occasional end run, Fisk carried the ball to Morehouse's 30 yard line; here on a delayed triple pass Lewis to Ford to Richey netted 20 yards. On the next play Lewis on a fake forward pass made 3 yards, with only 3 yards needed for a touchdown. Lewis sent C. Wesley over center for the necessary distance. The ball was kicked out, Ford making a fair catch and Lewis converted the kickout into a goal, making the score Fisk 7, Morehouse 0. The second half found Morehouse on the defensive for the most part, frequently kicking on the first down. Fisk wired the ball to Morehouse's 20 yard line, but failed in two attempts at goal. The game ended with the ball on Morehouse's 40 yard line. The teams tied up as follows: Fisk Morehouse. Capt. Brock Q. B. Capt. Lewis Lewis F. B. Bright Jackson L. H. B. C. Wesley Ray R. H. B.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Forty Tom Watson watermelons, ranging in weight from 45 to 62 pounds, recently attracted and held my attention in Muskegon, Okla., while I was passing through a splendid agricultural and industrial exhibit, writes William Anthony Aery of the Hampont institute. He had a hapless young, slim, dark-skinned Negro of East Muskegon, who is a share tenant, working a dozen acres of rich Arkansas bottom land, raised these melons. He had caught the idea of growing fine fruit and other farm crops from seeing his white neighbors reap large profits from their few acres. He had done his best in farming and had won, thereby, both for himself and for his race, the confidence and respect of many white and black business friends. Lawabiding, hard-working, and thrifty, he has not been seriously troubled by any pressing problem. He has solved the problem through advancing the best interests of his own community. When he was a child he lost his mother and father and was brought up, along with one sister, by his grandparents. Though they were ignorant of book-learning they taught him to work, to save and to be honest. Hawkins is still a renter and lives in a two-room house on a small plantation, but he is on the road to becoming an independent farmer. He has a kind and foresighted landlord—a man who furnishes his tenant a team of strong mules, good farm implements and a comfortable house. Hawkins is also making hundreds of dollars for himself, as well as for his boss man. He forms a corn, sweet potatoes and watermelons. I have told, in some detail, the story of Hawkins and his success to show that this young Negro is worth helping and worth understanding, that he is really succeeding, and that he is a real asset to the white man. The best Southerners know and believe this. What Hawkins has done in East Muskegon to cement more friendly race relations through his thrift and good farming, the National Negro Business league has been doing on a large scale, during fourteen years, for the whole nation. What Negroes in Oklahoma have done to earn bread by the sweat of their brow may be readily repeated by Negroes throughout the United States, provided they are willing to pay the city for the blessings of the open country and make their essential interests harmonize with the interests of the best white people. Booker T. Washington and other Negro leaders took part in the opening ceremonies for the Paseo Y M. C. A., which was opened for Negro men November 22. The new building, which is on the Paseo between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, represented a total cost of about one hundred thousand dollars, and is thoroughly modern and complete. R. B. DeFrantz, the secretary of the new building, worked out an elaborate opening ceremonial that lasted from November 22 to 29. A playground institute has been organized in Cleveland, O., to train workers for the local playgrounds and recreation centers. Dr. A. E. Patterson, director of the department of hygiene in the public schools, started the work. --- Returns from the several American consulates and agencies in Australia show an aggregate export trade to the United States during 1913 to the value of $13,159,470, compared with $10,988,747 in 1912; to the Philippine islands, $2,759,604, compared with $3,001,113; to the Hawaiian islands, $514,960, compared with $377,748. The population of Belfast is slightly under four hundred thousand, and in the entire province, some of the remote parts of which are unsuited to motor cars, there are only about one million seven hundred and fifty thousand people. As an indication of the initiative, the industry and the capability of Negroes, it is reliably reported that more than ten thousand business enterprises in this country are owned, controlled and operated by Negroes. In California there are 350,000 acres on which grape vines are growing; 170,000 planted to wine grapes; 11,000 to raisin grapea and 50,000 to table grapea. It is said that a noted British entomologist recently paid $1,000 for a rare specimen of flea which is occasionally found in the fur of the sea otter. The population of New York city was estimated a year ago at 5,333,537, a gain since the regular census of 566,654. In Stockholm the street-car conductors sell hatpin protectors for a halfpenny aplece to all women who wish to buy. A man found drunk in Denmark is turned over to the care of a doctor and the bill is sent to the proprietor of the last saloon visited by the man. The custom has been started in some western cities of printing the maiden name of a woman after that of her husband in the directory. German buyers are fond of clocks in their automobiles. The fireside appeals to the older members of the family. Here they gather to talk of the past. Very little planning for the future and only a spare use of books and papers. In fact, there is nothing to interest the younger generation of today. The unpainted ill-constructed house called the "firehouse" is active to the boy or girl who has attended school and learned something of modern living. In most cases his thoughts turn immediately to the city, where his brothers have caught the spirit of modern life, live in better houses and have some of the comforts of modern life. Is it any wonder he leaves the farm for the city? And in proportion as these young Negroes are the farm and flock to the cities "the problem" grows harder of solution. General observations show that the majority of the workers are careless and indifferent. The spirit of hope of interest in things living and growing seems to be dormant. A mere existence is all asked for or expected. There is no display of inventive genius, no saving and planning for the future. We again repeat that there are exceptions, but the above criticisms are absolutely true of the majority of our Negro farmers. And if it is true of those who own their farms, what must be the condition of those who rent? What can be said of the tenant farmer? Where dressed by some indentured men whom he respects and has confidence in him does well, but most cases his indentured son of his large family is pittable. A more child in mind, a man in body, he works and works, and yet accomplish nothing. This condition can be stopped to his advantage and to the advantage of the landlord. Common sense, business and humanity demand a change. The second annual meeting of the Philadelphia branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was held at the Friends' Meeting house, Fifteenth and Race streets, Philadelphia. The reports of the work of the association revealed that considerable had been accomplished during the year in behalf of the colored race in that city. It was shown that in several cases discrimination in moving-picture shows, theaters and restaurants efforts to safeguard the Negro had been met with success and in one instance a damage suit had been won against the proprietor of a moving-picture show. The meeting listened to addresses by Miss K. M. Johnson, traveling representative of the National association, and Miss May Childs Nernay, national secretary of New York. The officers elected for the ensuing year: President, Ellwood Hacec; vice-presidents, Dr. J. Max Barber, Mrs. S. W. Layton; secretary, Isadore Martin; treasurer, R. R. Porter, Bradford. Executive committee. Hon. George H. White, R. R. Wright, Mrs. Mary Murdah, James G. Davis, Rabbi Ell Mayer, Bishop J. S. Caldwell, Rev. E. W. Moore, Miss Francis Bartholomew, Mrs. Addie W. Dickerson, Dr. J. Max Barber, Ellwood Hacec, Mrs. S. W. Layton, Isadore Martin. To solve the problem of disposing of the dead, a famous German architect proposes to erect in the chief cities immense pyramids, each of which would hold the ashes of 1,000,000 cremated bodies. President Wilson gave strong encouragement to southern colored men who were promoting an exposition in Richmond next year commemorating the fifteenth anniversary of the emancipation of the Negro by accepting an invitation to visit the exposition and make an address. A large delegation, headed by Giles Jackson of Richmond, president of the exposition, and Judson W. Lyons of Augusta, former register of the treasury, representing the Negro Historical and Industrial association, under whose auspices the exposition is to be held, called on the president and extended the invitation. In accepting, the president said that he wished the exposition every success. The president was told that the progress of the Negro in the last 50 years would be fittingly celebrated at Richmond, and that this progress was shown in the fact that in the state of Virginia alone the Negrogress pay taxes on $34,000,000 of property, church and similar properties not included. Nine-tenths of the fire loss of this country is caused by carelessness. The Sarino (Ont.) Canadian says that "Thomas Collins of the first concession of Bidldull township, who is ninety-nine and one-half years old, has just commenced taking music lessons." In the course of one year more than six thousand persons were identified by their finger prints in the London police court. American "cowboy" pictures continue to captivate Spanish children, and even the whole public. A century ago only 300 species of orchids were known, and these very imperfectly. Now the latest authority gives the number of known species as 10,000. The coal required for one journey between New York and Liverpool by a modern liner would fill 22 trains, each made up of 30 ten-car cars. Greater London has more than doubled its population in the last 50 years, the figures in 1861 being 3,222,780, while now they are 7,233,963. TO GET BEST OUT OF COFFEE Method of Preparation Has Much to Do With Success in This Important Matter. There are two points necessary in getting the best out of coffee. One is, of course, to get all that is good. The other is not to get what is bad. The best preparation of coffee extracts the aromatic oils and eliminates coffee-tannin to practically nothing. In the first place the housewife must see to it that her coffee is finally pulverized, in fact it practically pulverized, she must be careful that it is quickly used or confined in air-proof, moisture-proof jars, otherwise the oil will escape into the air and will absorb moisture. In the actual preparation of the beverage, however, the important thing is to brew the coffee. "Brewed" coffee is not "cooked." In the process of brewing the oils are extracted from the fibrous tissue, whereas when coffee is boiled or "cooked" the fiber is stewed in and the flavor and purity of the liquid is damaged. The water must be boiled; the coffee must not. Water at the boiling point should be poured on the coffee, but it should not stand too long, and it shuld not get chilled. The elimination of the coffee'tannin is best brought about in the filtration or drip method of preparing coffee. When brewed in this way the coffee contains only .29 of a grain of coffee-tannin per cup, as against 2.90 grains by five minutes steeping in the percolator method. HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS To clean a polished table that has been marred by having had a hot dish placed upon it rub it with camphorated oil. To clean tinware dampen a cloth, dip it in common soda and rub the ware briskly, after which wipe dry. To overcome the annoyance of the hands perspiring when doing fine sewing bathe them with strong alum water. To lengthen the life of a comb wash it in soapy water before using it, and when it is dry rub it with a little olive oil. To restore their natural color to ivory knife handles that turned yellow rub them with turpentine. To preserve clothespins and clotheslines and keep them flexible and durable boll them a few minutes and then wash them. This should be done twice a month. White Fruit Cake. To make an especially delicious cake of the lasting variety cream together one cupful of butter and two cupfuls of sugar and add one cupful of milk. Sift three cupfuls of flour and one teaspoonful of baking powder three times and add to the mixture and stir well.

While spending the day with a friend on a farm last summer, I noticed a clever little arrangement of hers in washing dishes. The water was piping hot, as it should be, and in the middle of the dishpan she set a small deep pitcher full of hot suds for the silver. This obviated the need for a large dishpan, the bottom of the dishpan, as I have always done, and also kept the silver from collecting grease—McCall's Magazine. Apple Slump Pare and slice your apples, sweeten to taste, add cinnamon and a little salt. Prepare a crust as follows: Two cupups flour, two level teaspoonfuls baking powder, one teaspoonful salt, sifted together.

Serve with molasses sauce or with sugar and cream. Stuffed Celery. Thoroughly clean perfect stalks of celery and cover with ice until crisp. Mix to a cream one-quarter pound of roquefort cheese, one-half pound of cream cheese, one tablepoonful of butter, one teaspoonful of Worcestershire dressing, one-eighth teaspoonful of paprika and one teaspoonful of finely chopped olives. Stuff celery with this mixture and serve ice cold on lettuce leaves. After the celery is stuffed cut it into two-inch lengths. Bausagettea and Tomato. Take three small pork sausages and dip in cold water for a few minutes. Now slip off the skin and form the meat into fat cakes. Fry in a small pan until nicely browned. Pour off the surplus fat and add one-half cupful of left-over tomatoes, a little chopped peppers and, if mixture is too thin, a little rolled cracker meal may be added. As soon as hot serve on a heated plate and press small toast points around edge.

GRAY, M. D. (Copyright, 1914, by A. S. Gray) RADIANT ENERGY AND DISEASE So tenaciously do the legends of our forefathers cling to us that even yet it is the common belief that all our ills are of external origin, the result of some malignant power which takes possession of us by capture and can be overcome only by the introduction into our bodies of the appropriate antagonist in quantity sufficient to neutralize and beat down the unnatural forces that we prove that the truth is always simple, but because our powers of observation are poorly trained and our knowledge of the universe is very slight we go bungering along, ever seeking some miracle for the relief of our ills, blind to the fact that health is simply a matter of being in accord with the balance of the universe. The truth of this is proved by the fact that in the final analysis all our diseases are found to be of deficiency, because we ignore some simple natural requirement which breaks the normal continuity of the vital chain binding every living unit into a nicely balanced reciprocating machine. "The scientific world has come to believe that the primary sources of natural energy by virtue of which the universe keeps going over immense periods of time are to be found not in the great masses of glowing matter dotting the heavens, nor in any of the relations between energy and matter in bulk, but in the reactions between the individual atoms out of which bulk is made up." Just so, too, our health, happiness and our health are the natural operation of the individual cells of which we are composed. And anything which disturbs the natural relations between these minute individuals is certain to result in some form of variation which we usually call ill health. We have noted that variations in plant growth take place under different colored lights because plants have the inherited capacity to develop normally only under white light. But there has been very little research work done along these themes, and we have observed why these variations occur. Probably the most significant facts in this connection are to be found in the discoveries of Dr. J. R. Green, who in 1897 showed that light had an appreciable effect on the formation and action of the enzymes in plants and that the red and blue rays favored the formation of the enzymes, while the green, the indigo and the violet, and especially the ultraviolet, rays destroyed them. He found that "vegetable structures have a power of absorbing radiant energy which is not connected with the presence and activity of chlorophyll." We know tuberculosis to be essentially a deficiency disease, the ultimate result of insufficient food and air and light. The only known successful method of controlling the disease consists in supplying the missing factors by a simple substantial diet and living out of doors. Prevention, not cure, is the modern weapon against this scourge, and prevention consists in sufficient food, air and light. If all living things are subject to the same laws then it would be reasonable to infer that Doctor Green's hint that " vegetable structures have a power of absorbing radiant energy which is not connected with the presence and activity of chlorophyll" may have a parallel in the human body, and perhaps we, too, may have a power of absorbing radiant energy not connected with the presence and activity of hemoglobin, our oxygen carrying substance analogous to chlorophyll in the plant. This appears to be true in a measure, if satisfactory improvements in tuberculoid conditions secured under direct sun rays are noted. A method of treatment by means of prolonged exposure of the naked body to solar rays has been found particularly helpful for tuberculosis of the bones, joints and ganglia. The new treatment is called heliotherapy and has been found not only particularly helpful in tubercular diseases, but has also met with marked success in other diseases. In a general sense the healing virtues of sunlight have been recognized from the dawn of human history and are embodied in a thousand myths and legends, but the facts have been steadfastly ignored, while the whole world All of the post offices in Germany are now being conducted almost exclusively by women. More unmarried than married women were defendants in the New York criminal courts last year. The average salary of a chorus girl in a first-class musical show is $35 per week. Women in Belgium who earn from five to seven cents an hour consider themselves well paid. Among the French troops fighting Germany is the woman lauded as a soldier's uniform. The New York Young Women's Christian association has opened a training school for mids and cooks. Unique Flag for the Canal There is a touch of sentiment that will appeal to all in the proposition to manufacture in Philadelphia the flag that is to fly over the Panama canal on the occasion of the formal opening of that great engineering enterprise. The Panama Canal was jointly by the 13 original states, each of which is to contribute the star and has sought for the fountain of youth. It has remained for our own generation to discover that direct sunlight is not merely beneficial in stimulating the general health and raising the tone of mind and body, but that, as we shall later see, it possesses a therapeutic value in certain ailments which borders on the marvelous and forces us more and more to recognize that disease is the result of social and economic conditions. SUNLIGHT AND TUBERCULOSIS. Referring to certain worms and jelly-fish which contain chlorophyll, seek sunlight and give off oxygen in the light, but soon die if kept in the dark. Burge writes: "it follows that a complete antithesis between interchange of force and matter in animals and plants does not exist; and it will be henceforth impossible to separate the physiological chemistry of the vegetable from that of the animal world. The more our knowledge of each section of science advances the more the two becomes fused together." There is a fundamental law that states that all departures of nature that nothing can come into being that is not demanded by the conditions at the time. There is, in other words, a reason for everything, and investigation to the point of understanding invariably proves every phenomenon to be very simple. Ordinarily the sun is looked on by the average individual with interest only when it is undergoing eclipse, but the botanist who has reduced plant culture to almost a science knows that the sun is the most vital factor in life. The botanist knows by experience that if his plants do not receive sufficient sunlight they become weakened and readily acquire an amount of fungous diseases. There is no myops that if the soil conditions are not normal sunlight alone will not protect his plants from diseases. All the conditions must be in harmony for normal results. Possibly taking the hint from the botanist, Professor Ponect of Lyon's the first person systematically to employ heliotherapy, a method of treating surgical tuberculosis by means of direct sunlight—began to use the direct sun rays in the treatment of tubercular joint infections in 1892 and not only used the method freely in his personal practice, but impressed the value of solar exposure upon all his pupils. In 1899 the definite statement was made that Professor Ponect believed the beneficial effects from exposure of tubercular tissues to solar rays extended not only to tubercular bones, ganglia, and the like, but also to tubercular internal organs, is interesting here to note that Dr. Alexis Carrel began his surgical studies as intern under Professor Ponect and it is not unreasonable to infer that the influence of Professor Ponect's initiative may have spurred Doctor Carrel into original work. Doctor Roller, a Swiss physician of Leysin, became an ardent advocate of the treatment and secured marvelous results from the use of direct sun rays on tubercular infections in patients among the snow covered peaks of Switzerland. Doctor Olenit of Nice reports the treatment useful in tuberculosis peritonitis. Doctor Emmett of Philadelphia and Doctor Snequitr of Moscow report excellent results from sun rays in acute muscular rheumatism. Perfect sunlight is depleted to be bereaved by infected wounds, and Doctor Aimes of Montpelier reports that the treatment hastens the formation of scar skin on burns, which usually heal very slowly. Doctor Hinsdale, writing in the Interstate Medical Journal, describes the treatment as follows: "The patient is clothed in linen or white flannel, according to the season; he wears a white hat and is protected from direct sunlight on the face by a screen and wears smoked or yellow glasses. And now comes the peculiar and interesting method of the exposure it makes no difference where the disease is located, whether in the hands the spine or the begin with the feet, or next day the legs will be exposed; the third day the thighs. On the fourth day the abdomen is exposed; the fifth the thorax. Finally on the sixth or seventh day he exposes the neck and head with careful supervision." The treatment is reported to be very effective in tubercular hip, joint and knee diseases, especially in the latter, because in such cases not only is the infection destroyed and the wound healed, but the joint remains mobile, a result always lacking where surgical interference is resorted to. Also it is reported effective in tubercular peritonitis, acute muscular rheumatism and trachoma, a very infectious granular inflammation of the mucous lining of the eyelids and the outside of the eye. But it is not necessary to go to the mountains for treatment, for the sun shines everywhere. the stripe which is to represent it in the standard. The whole is to be put together in the Betay Ross house in Philadelphia, and to make a flag that is to be unfurled when President Wilson presses an electric bitton in Washington. Cohn Goethals has interested himself in the matter and there will probably be no difficulty in carrying it to a successful conclusion. A Big Mistake. "What's the matter?" we asked of the June groom.

New York Man Seems to Have Revolutionized Process of Investigation of Wrecks That Lie Many Fathoms Below Surface. Several years ago, after a number of distressing accidents, the British admiralty determined to make some scientific tests in the hope of eliminating certain dangers to which the naval divers were exposed in service. Without going into details, but by using double the number of air pump and adopting several important precautionary measures, they did succeed in down two unusually fit men to a depth of 210 feet in the sheltered water of a landlocked bay, points out Robert G. Skerrett in the Scientific American. Now keep the next fact in mind. In descending, bottom was reached in two minutes, and after a stay of 5% minutes the men were slowly brought back to the surface, the ascent taking 50 minutes! This was required to insure decompression and to guard them against all ill effects of their great submergence. In the American idea, the all-metal armor, the men were lowered to the water bed in a trifle over three minutes, being held when about a hundred feet down to see that the telephone was working properly. After being on top of bottom for ten or fifteen minutes the divers were hoisted up and out upon the deck of the parent steamer in less than a minute and a half. Why was it possible to do this in the latter case and not with the British admiralty divers? Simply because the American divers were not subjected to the hydrostatic pressure of the enveloping water, and were able to breathe air at atmospheric pressure. Their bodies were not subjected to abnormal stresses, and therefore no period of readjustment was necessary. This innovation in the art of subaqueous enterprise is the result of some years of gradual evolution, and is the invention of Chester E. MacDuffe of New York city. The suit is made of an aluminum alloy of great strength, and even so weighs a matter of quite 480 pounds. The articulated sections are clever adaptations of the sleeve or rotating joint, and, while suitably packed to reduce leakage to a reasonable minimum, still, thanks to roller bearings, give the diver ample freedom of action when the weight of the dress is taken up by the surrounding water. Indeed, a certain amount of leakage is desired, for it serves to lubricate the moving parts and, too, to keep the packing swelled, and therefore more efficient. But how is the leakage disposed of. In a recess back of the tank, the leakage is stalled in a powerful little pump with suction intakes located in each foot of TELEPHONE TRANSMITTER ARMORED CONDUCT PUMP EXHAUST ELECTRIC LIGHT COMMUNICATED AREA TELEPHONE ELECTRIC LIGHT DRAIN PUMP TO PUMP SUCTION Back View of the Metal Man.

The discharge is immediately outboard and, of course, against the water head. the pump is driven by compressed air, the pump is delivered into the suit, and thus meets the breathing needs of the diver. The air is led down through a small tube, together with the electric light and telephone circuits, which, in turn, are carried in a 2¼-inch armored rubber hose. The free space remaining in this big tube forms the channel back to the surface of the used air. The diver has no life-line to bother with, and his telephone permits him to keep in constant communication with his surface attendants. There ought to be no difficulty in carrying on operations at depths of 300 and more feet. Of course, the operator is entirely sheltered within his armored dress, and an ingenious mechanical hand is relied upon to grip and make the necessary connections with suitable tackle or chain slings. The Retort Courteous. The telephone girls are forbidden to "answer back," no matter how abusive a customer may be. Sometimes they get around these hard conditions in a very clever way. An instance of the retort courteous happened recently in Los Angeles in one of the big exchanges. After vainly trying for ten minutes to get the number he had asked for, the irate customer aheated: "What the deuce is the matter with you telephone girls, anyhow—are you all entrusted?" The answer came with exasperating sweetness: "I don't know. Ask information." The Boy's Room. A neutral color of wall paper makes a good choice for a boy's room. Such a tone will harmonize with pennants, posters and varied trophies sure to be collected. Warm, gray buff, tan, dull yellow, are all excellent foundation colors that will not clash, no matter what the color introduced. Real Meaning of War Brought Home to City. Just What Would Happen, Suppose Modern Blegen Guns Were in Action, Is Most Unpleasant Thing to Contemplate. What would happen to St. Louis if the town were subjected to such a bombardment as reduced the forts at Antwerp would be appalling to contemplate, reflects the Post-Dispatch of that city. According to an officer, the enemy would need only to post such weapons as the great German siege guns on the hills southeast of East St. Louis to reduce the business section of St. Louis to matchwood in a few hours. To protect the city from such a bombardment it would be vitally necessary to hold those hills against all the efforts of the enemy. To hold them would be a dangerous and difficult task for troops in the field, for if they were defeated and compelled to fall, the river behind them and might be severely punished before they could cross it to the safety of the entrenchments. According to the army officer, if the enemy fired only shrapnel buildings at the big downtown buildings of the city they would be riddled and those of steel construction would not be de- Shell From a Huge "Brummer" Would Make Short Work of All-Steel Structures. stroyed. He thinks, however, that if a shells from a huge "brummer" or "busy Bertha" should hit one of these big buildings at a place where the steel girders joined, it would bring the whole structure tumbling into a mass of ruins. From the East St. Louis hills it would be child's play for an expert gunner to hit the Railway Exchange building, or any of the other big downtown buildings. An architect and a structural engineer were asked. what they thought would be the effect of heavy artillery fire upon the big steel-girder office buildings. Both of them inclined to think that, while the damage would be great, it would take more shots to raze one of the modern buildings than it would a structure of solid masonry. They pointed out that if a shell would to fall on the roof of the Railway Exchange building it might drop through floor. They pointed out that the great power of an explosion is derived from the impact on the cushion of air. The air is thrust outward in every direction. Naturally it would seek the point of least resistance. The result would be that it would smash out the windows and all the thin partitions adjacent, but would have little effect upon the steel skeleton of the building. According to the architect and the engineer, between 50 and 100 shells would be required to demolish the Railway Exchange building entirely, and each of them would have to strike a vital point on a steel column. Looking from above straight down the building might be conceived as built in sections. Each section would be the form of a square, with three vertical sections, inside of the square. If a shell struck the column at the exact center of the square, it might cause it to give way. The section of the building embraced within the square would collapse. Both of the architectural authorities agreed that the damage from a shell exploding within a building of solid walls would be immeasurable. It has been estimated that a thickness of 30 feet of solid concrete is necessary to stop the largest German shells. The explosion would cause a solid wall to bulge outward and the whole house to collapse. Imagining the Natives In a small South American state which had recently undergone a change of administration the new potentiate summoned an artist and ordered new designs for all the official uniforms. "I wish showy costumes—very showy," he said, "for people are impressed by them. I have here some sketches that I myself have made. Look them over and be guided by these ideas as far as possible." The artist examined the sketches carefully, "This," he said, turning the pages, "is evidently for the navy and this is for the army; but if you please, what is this—a long plume on a three-cornered hat, yellow dress coat, trimmed with purple, and "That," replied the chief of state gravely, "is the secret police."—Everybody's Magazine.

LauraJean Libbeu's Talks on Heart Topics Disguse so near the truth doth seem to run, Tis doubtful whom to seek or whom to shun, Nor know we whom to spare or whom to our friends and foes they seem so much alike. "Lassies" lips were made for kisses." Many a girl has been chary enough of them until after the betrothal ring has been placed upon her finger. Then she is quite a little mystified as to whether or not she should grant her lover as many kisses as he is desirous of taking. A There's the kiss of greeting, when he comes of an evening, the stolen kiss when he is hanging his hat on the hat rack in the dim hall, the sweet, clinging kiss when they find themselves in the parlor alone. To make sure, it is really true that they are actually betrothed, there is another and the kiss when he leads her to the sofa, placing himself beside her to show her the ring he has brought to seal their happiness. There is a kiss of delight when the pretty little hoop of gold is declared to be a darling, and another when she plays him a love song on the piano, and yet another when they kiss each other goodnight in the vestibule. That's all very well for this one great evening of a girl's life. Even the most affectionate of sweethearts should know that there should be a limit to kisses before marriage. A girl who has a good lover should know that the capturing of the love bird does not insure holding fast to it. A lover who does too much hugging and kissing soon finds the divine passion in his breast is cooling, all too soon, with satiety. Girls should adroitly lead away from such a state of affairs. Whether the betrothal is of short or long duration, they should start in wisely, talk of their future plans together, each pursuing the course of finding out the other's ideas, hopes and aspirations. These hours they can never have but once; moments of sweet, joyful anticipation. One or the other may have little flashes of temper. It behooves them to study out whether they can overlook this in their future mate, or if it can be overcome. The engagement period is the test of after-happiness in marriage. If too much time is given to affection, all too soon bickerings and quarrels are apt to arise. The young man sulks at one end of the sofa, the girl at the other. They grow weary, instead of fonder, of each other. He may disappoint her on the evenings he is expected to visit her. Now that the engagement is settled, there is no need of the young people occupying the parlor exclusively. If the girl finds that she has too affectionate a lover, wise is she who calls in occasionally some of her friends as well as the relatives to add diversity to entertainment. A girl should never fear that her lover would be displeased by this fact. He will admire her all the more for her cute, girlish bashfulness. He will be all the more anxious to wed her, to take her to a home of their own. The girl who starts in by thinking an engagement gives her free rein to kiss is apt to find in her sweetheart a man who will court ardently for a dozen years, then break off suddenly after some petty quarrel and marry some prim young woman whom many a man would be almost afraid to kiss at the altar lest it offend her. WIVES WHO ARE HEROINES Full many a gem of purest ray serene "The dark, an unfathomed caves of ocean bear; Full many a flower is born to blush un- And waste its sweetness on the desert air. While the world is lauding the list of heroines working with might and main to relieve the sufferings that mankind is plunged into by the war, there's a vast number of heroines that the world never hears of. They are the women laboring quite as hard, surrounded by peace, supposedly, but very little peace do they find. From childhood fate has shown them an unkind face. They wed for love, bravely believing that a way out of poverty will be shown them somewhere, somehow. Nine times out of ten, when both are healthy and strong, they pass a pleasant enough existence together. Where, as a lover, man is frail, marriage and its cares rather hinder the gaining of strength with him. Although babies may come quickly enough, home comforts and advancements do not. It is usually the kind-hearted of husbands who fall ill; those who are most eager to work. At this crisis, the frail young mother rises to the height of her emolhem when she lifts the support of the family from the husband's weak shoulders to her own frail ones. The woman who toils cannot be chooser as to her occupation or the remuneration it affords her. Employees often seem to have a way of grinding working women down to the lowest living wage. The woman who knows that it means life or death to her and the loved ones at home does not hesitate, no matter how small the pay. She is up in the morning long before daybreak. Of course the poor babies need sleep and rest, but she must wash food, dress and breakfast them before going to her day's work. The husband, who is as helpless as any one of them, comes in for a share of her attention. She has to cook, clean, sew and mend for them into the far watches of the night. It soon tells on her vitality. She often feels as if she could cry out that she cannot endure the strain much longer. But what's the use? She must battle for her loved ones till her last throb of vitality goes out. There's no one to applaud her. She doesn't see her name in faring type recounting the story of the lives she has saved. There are women, too, who are supporting aged fathers and mothers as well as other infirm relatives, using their strength and their years for their benefit without a murmur or the hope of recompense in any way. The heroism of women was never more realized than now. Their names should be placed high upon the roll of honor. Let these heroes not despair. There is never a lane so long but that there is a turn to it, nor duties performed over such a long stretch of years that relief does not come at last, often when least expected. Babies grow up to help, and husbands recover to come to the fore. Happy is the home life then to each of them. Mother is ever after a heroine in that household. TRYING TIME FOR WIVES To one whose love for me shall last When lighter passions long have passed— or else and true; To one whose love hath longer dwelt More deeply fixed, more keenly felt Than any pledged by you. In these days when but one worrisome thought seems to possess the minds of husbands, when they clutch their papers eagerly and read the war news and meditate long and earnestly over it, it behooves the wives of their bosoms to contrive some means to dispel the gathering gloom—find a diversion which will take up their attention. She cannot hide the evening paper, for nine men out of ten would rather miss their meal than give up reading the news of the day. When friends come to dine, instead of hubby's being able to forget the subject of war is dragged in with the soup, to last through till nuts and coffee. If she accompanies her good husband to the theater, whether it be a "high-priced production" or a "movie," the managers seem determined to give the people their money's worth by issuing some kind of a bulletin about it or showing a few reels of the horrors of wide-world disturbance. What place can she go to that is not saturated with such news? It keeps her husband depressed and guessing as to what will happen next. No matter how long she has worn her old gown, and asks for a new one, she is rebuffed by an ominous shake of the head. No knowing what turn his business affairs might take, he tells her, adding that she had better keep a tight clutch on the dimes and dollars. If she had been promised a new automobile for her birthday, hubby suggests that she put the money to another use—coal for the winter, or a nest-egg against the high price of living. If she's been expecting her mother to come and pass a month or more with her hubby cries frantically: "Not now; there's enough war on the other side! Let us have peace." Even her nobile little club affairs come in for an overhauling. She must cut down the number she belongs to and entertain her neighbors at no cost. Her little boys show her the spirit of the times. They marshal in the lads of the neighborhood in the front yard, and with paper swords and putty blowers for guns are having a terrific encounter. What heed do they pay to her beautiful bedroom in dragging off the robes in time of ruthless? They trample them down as ruthlessly as stray birds in the wheat. The little girls who are supposedly Red Cross nurses have their own troubles in dragging off the wounded hads. The good wife wishes from the bottom of her heart that she could take her family to some remote spot where not a word could be read or heard of terrible war. She quite believes if her husband was a modern Robinson Crusoe, cast off on a lone island, he'd find the way to send out wireless messages intensely intent upon the last word as to what had developed overnight. But wise wives will go on making home all the pleasanter and more cheerful for their husbands and loved ones. Wives and daughters should brush up their forgotten music and treat papa and his friends to inspiring home treats that his heart may not be too heavy with other burdens. Now if the time to make your home as attractive as possible. Don Know a Good Home. Joseph E. Boudwin of this city could not lose his collee dog by taking it five miles diagonally across the Delaware river and returning alone in a fast motor boat. He tried this the other day because the dog killed chickens, but the animal swam home. When he first tried to lose the dog on the New Jersey shore it swam after his fast craft. He was compelled to turn about and again land on the same shore. This time he managed to lose the animal. manage. Three hours after his arrival home in Clayment, Del, he heard the dog barking for admission. Boudwin now says the animal is so intelligent that it should know better than to kill chickens, but he will keep it anyway. —Wilmington (Del.) Dispatch to the world.

WAR DRAMA AT SEA Pictures a Night of Tense Watching in the Dark—is Broken by the Discovery and Destruction of a Torpedo Boat. Paris.—There has come to me, writes Paul Scott Mowrer in the Chicago News, a remarkable letter from a naval officer, who is cruising with the French fleet in the Adriatic, hunting the Austrian foe. It gives a vivid picture of the solitary drama of war at sea. Here it is: "It is a black night. The wind is terrible, the darker than the night, without a single noise aboard, the ships, one behind the other, watch upon the sea that nothing may pass. Ten miles to the north, ten miles to the south, they are holding their blind course. All seems to sleep. "Our lookouts at bow and stern, lost in shadow, are rolling and pitching like phantoms, while not a single sound breaks the incomprehensible silence. But the cannon are ready. There is a man behind each loaded piece, his finger on the trigger, never closing his eyes from the moment he goes on duty to the moment of his relief. Aloft, the searchlights, too, are ready at touch of a button to blaze forth, to seek out, to harass. And on the bridge, the officer on whom depends a thousand lives, the officer of the watch, alone before God, his eyes on his glass, peers for hours and hours out into the black night and the swell. There must be no falling now of sight or mind or decision. That moment of failing might be the very one in which the enemy, crouching between two waves, launched a torpedo or sowed a sinking mine. "For an instant in the unreal distance, great paint brushes of light appear. They grope across the sky and sea, stop cudely, and the wind brings the sound of a storm of shells. Then no more. Lights and cannon cease. The night, the swell, the silence. But the heart beats faster. Out there, 'they' are roving. Perhaps presently it will be my turn. I want to smash the lenses of the glass and illuminate the whole stretch of ocean. Which way will they come? Suddenly something white shines on a crest, like the mustache of foam under a bow. "On guard! Fifteen hundred yards! Eighty degrees to starboard! Light searchlights! More to the left! Leeway fifty-eight! Fire! "All the crouching shadows leap asunder. In the bright sheaf, of light is a palid specter with three or four smokestacks which plunges like a greybound over the form. Fifteen cannot at once are spitting ceaselessly. Our phantom ship has become a volcano. "More in the right! A thousand yards!" "The hostile torpedo boat disappears in an aureole of blows, behind fountains of water, very white under the livid electricity. But still on it comes, bringing death. "Eight hundred yards!" "The blows are falling nearer to it. They make a wall of water and iron. In the aureole of spray appears something red, black, yellow, like a hit in the eye. A shell has struck the belly of the torpedo boat and it has blown up. "Cease fire! Searchlights follow to the end!" "We go to look, to pick up the dead and the wounded. Nothing is left—hardly a few splinters of wood. "Lights out! "We return to our course, to the watch, the silence, the obscurity. The men who serve the guns lie down. The gunners and wait. The officer of the watch, who has saved a thousand lives, once more stares searchingly into the dangerous darkness. The boat rolls and pitches. It is cold and gloomy. But the sea is a little freer and France better protected." ON OUTPOST DUTY Skirmisher of the French army in action during outpost engagement near Dixmude. Dog Gets Help for Master.

Unknown Stretcher Bearer Describes Horror of Horrors. Farmhouse, the Refuge of Wounded and Dying, is Bombarded by Artillery — Ghostly the Scenes That Ensue. London.—The Chronicle publishes the following account of the bombardment of a farmhouse, situated between the French and German lines and temporarily a refuge for the wounded. The article is a translation from the notes of a French corporal stretcher-bearer. The Paris Temps says the work of the unknown author may be compared with the most striking pages of some Russian writers: "We now heard the whiz-z-z that those who have once heard can never forget. The shell was coming straight toward us. We fell flat, in the twinkling of an eye, our noses to the ground. Happy he who finds a drain or ditch at such a moment. Yet we had time to ask ourselves whether it would pass over or catch us in this ridiculous position; and I saw the past and the future. "We got up, muddy and peevish. A faint smell of dynamite filled the air. We passed through the gateway. The yard, surrounded on three sides by the farmhouse and servants' quarters, was quiet and trim. "We entered the kitchen and three ground floor rooms were full of wounded—French and German. Many of the unfortunate, lying on the blood-marked straw, had horrible wounds. A soldier asks for a drink; as he rises, with hand stretched out for the glass of water, a bullet comes through the window and strikes him full in the heart. The poor fellow sinks without a sigh. "Most of the wounded are taken away in a lull of the combat. It is three o'clock in the afternoon. Firing recommences, more violent than ever. The shells whistle ceaselessly. An adjutant, tterily wounded, begs to be put into the cart, which seems to him a guaranty that he will be among the next to be removed. Scarcely is he laid there than a shrapnel bursts over the cart, killing him. The firing sounds more clearly. "A wounded man in the kitchen calls me. Struck by a ball in the chest, the poor fellow pants for breath. He is supporting himself by one arm, which slips on the bloody straw. With the other hand he feels in his overcoat pocket, which is glued up with congealed blood, for a letter which he hands to me, his eyes full of tears. "My sweetheart," he murmurs. And I see in his fingers a little lock of black hair, which he presses tenderly to his lips. "Raising my eyes to the ceiling, I see the plaster break into a huge star, and through a gaping hole the end of a great shell appears. The ceiling sinks funnel-wise; at the same moment the roof cracks and the shell explodes. Then all is dark. Presently I come to myself, half suffocated with dust and the fumes of dynamite. "The house is riven from top to bottom, and we can see the calm, blue sky through the broken roof. The least seriously wounded men disengage their fellows. Nearly all of us are bleeding. The poor lover is dead, disfigured. Shells have struck the house on two sides. "They manage to get into the cellar, and here the German wounded, hungry and desperate, burst out into complaints of this war of immeasurable agony into which they have been driven. "My poor wife! My poor children! cries one of them, wounded in the stomach by a fragment of shell. "At this moment, in a dark corner, we heard a sob and a woman's voice rose out of the shadow. 'All of my Vienna Judge Acquita Man Who Ques tioned Truth of Austrian Official News. Vienna.—The courts are being overworked in trying persons who are accused of violating the government's orders which forbid the dissemination of alarming news. Most of the arrests are the result of reports of police apes. The judges are very severe and con- own children are dead and my husband was killed up there in the yard. It was the farmer's wife. She had watched, helpless, the work of destruction. Children, husband, goods, she had lost everything. And I saw once more the emaculated dog up there baying in the yard before the clotted blood of his master." TELLS OF DEED OF DARING English Sapper Describes Attempt to Blow Up Bridge In Face of Germans. London.—A thrilling incident in the wonderful retreat of the British from Mons is described by Sapper Wells of the Royal Engineers, who passes lightly over his own part in an extraordinary act of heroism. "Our officer asked for a man to go with him to blow up a bridge so that the Germans could not follow us, and I went with him," said Wells. "Well, to blow up a bridge we use gun-cotton and a wire fuse. It is safe enough if you take your wire well away, but this time it would not work. Our men in running back had stepped on the wire, and so we had to go nearer to the bridge and try again. Even then it would not act, so the officer said to me: 'Get out of the way, Wells.' I said: 'No; I'll go with you.' We were the only two on the bridge and the Germans were shooting at us, but our luck was in. "Well, we both lay down and I fired ten. rounds at the gun-cotton with my rifle and he did the same with a pistol, but it wouldn't work. If it had we should both have gone with it, so you see what a shave we had. We made a dive back and got some more gun-cotton and were making to have another go when an officer ordered us back, saying it was no use trying." HELPING THE WOUNDED French colonials giving first aid to one of their number injured in the battle with the Germans outside Dixmude. Russian Transport Men Go to Death Rather Than Surrender to Turks. London.—A dispatch to Reuter's Telegraph company from Petrograd says: "A graphic account has been received here of the end of the Russian transport Truth, which the Russians sank rather than surrender her to the Turkish cruiser Goeben. When called upon to surrender her captain headed the Truth for the shore, opened the valves and blew a hole in the bottom of the vessel. Lieutenant Rogawsky perished while attempting to fire a second charge of explosives. Part of the crew got off in boats, while the others jumped into the water and were picked up by the Turkish ships. "The ship's chaplain and a handful of men were left aboard. As the ship went down the chaplain was seen on deck giving his blessing to the men who remained about him cheering and singing the national anthem." victions are inevitable. Up to the present only one person, a hall porter, who was accused of having said that he did not believe the official reports about Austrian victories, has been acquitted. In this case the judge ruled that unbelief in official reports does not imply unpatriotic sentiments. The military authorities of Cratow are forbidding the entry of refugees from Galicia. This prohibition is a prelude to the evacuation of Cratow by noncombatants, in view of the expected approach of the Russians. PRETTY, USEFUL BAGS ALWAYS HANDY, AND QUITE SIMPLE IN CONSTRUCTION. One Designed to Hold the Duster and the Other for Broom Covers—Illustration Shows Method of Designing. A duster bag that the hand can slip in and out of easily, is the best kind. This one is made in flowered chints or cretonne, lined with sateen and bound with braid or with a bias strip of the sateen, having a loop at the top to hang it by. It is twelve inches Easy to Reach the Dusters. long, and nine wide at the rounded base. The shaped outside piece is slightly larger around than the back piece, allowing the pocket part to bulge slightly. The broom bag is not a broom cover itself, but a pretty holder for such covers and holds six of these made in canton flannel. The case is Holds Broom Covers. made in figured material, is 13 inches wide at the bottom, tapering slightly toward the top, and is 15 inches long. It has a flap of 6 inches depth. Three loops of the braid are sewed at the back to hang it by. The broom bags are made very much the same shape, only smaller, to fit the broom; a drawing string is put at the top to draw it up tight around the handle. VOGUE OF ARTIFICIAL FLOWER Universally Popular, and Certainly Add Distinction to the Plaimest of the Street Frocks. Probably never before have artificial flowers had such a vogue as they have just now. And a small corsage flower is one of the best means of giving color to a dark street frock or suit. There are bunches of tiny flowers in brilliant red that are very good. There are bouquets consisting of a rosebud, a few forget-me-nots and a sprig or two of green that are good. Then there are zinnias, nasturtiums, poppies and many other flowers in their own natural, rich coloring. The placing of the flower is rather important. It can be placed on the left shoulder with good effect. It looks well at the closing of a ruff or a close collar of velvet and fur. Of course, the flower on an evening frock is usually part of the frock. That is to say, it is placed in position when the frock is made. However, a frock that needs a little refreshing can be brightened up with a new flower, and one of the newest places to put it is about half way down the back. OF ORGANDIE AND BOBBINET One of the Smartest Designs in Collar, Copying the Sailor Shape to a Large Extent. Smarter than the elaborate lace collar is that of plain white organdie and bobbinet. The collar is to be of the laydown variety, and is smartest when shaped like a short but long pointed sailor collar, the points coming well on the shoulders. The collar, which is of organdie, is hemmitched about the edge. The net ruffle should be from one-half to one and one-fourth inches wide, and is double. That is, there is no hem on the net, it being simply a double fold of the material, IMPORTANCE OF THE GIRDLE In Many Ways It is the Most Distinctive Touch That Gives Garment "Appearance." Whether it be hidden or whether it forms an important color note of the gown, the girdle must be reckoned with, and to the woman who knows how to make it and adjust it there will be modistic glory. This season the girdle is higher than ever. Indeed, it suggests the girdles of the middle ages, and both short and long waisted women will have to wear the wide girdle to be in fashion. To be sure, the wide girdle can have ends crossed and then brought down in lines that carry the ayes below the waist line, thus increasing the seeming height of the wearer. This is a trick that it would be well to master. It allows the use of this favorite accessory and permits the wearer to retain her height. Some new girdles have a curved-up line. This is a trying one and should be viewed from all points before in the creased end being used as the bottom or edge of the ruffe. The bobbinet ruffe may be simply whipped to the collar, or after this is done a finish of buttonholing in color or plain white thread can be made over the joining of collar and ruffe. These dainty collars buttonholed in old blue, old rose or that gray-green are pretty indeed. GOWN FOR THE YOUNG LADY Velvet Dresses Considered Most Appropriate—Changes in the Color of Neckwear. Velvet dresses for young girls are the smart thing of the afternoon wear. They are made with a long waist and a short skirt, made of two circular flouces; between these is a satin belt or sash. A collar of plique or lace, cut sailor or rounding, is the usual neck finish. The sleeveless over blouses of velvet that are seen on the grown-up dresses are also a feature on those worn by girls of fourteen. They are rather like a mildy blouse in shape, but not so long, and the arm-hole is very much enlarged, so that the foundation dress of serge shows. Different shaped buttons not only come in plain colors in dark modish shades, brown, plum, blue and fawns, but are also decorated by odd stripes of a contrasting color. Sometimes there is only one stripe across the center, sometimes it is the button edge that has pencillike lines of a deeper or lighter color. The suit coats are made both in the long and in the short lengths. Some of the smart models are of the redingote type, the coat reaching the three-quarter length. Some of the lace gulps are of embroidered net of the applique type of lace, and they finish at the top with a round neck that does not come quite up to the base of the throat. Last summer the lovely touch of white neckwear was in organdie and lawn; now it is of cream net and lace in the finer costumes, and of plique in those dresses that smack of the tallor-made. HOW TO ATTAIN PLUMPNESS Simple Routine Will Enable Thin Girl to Secure Results in Three or Four Weeks. The thin girl is coming into her own these days, but there is such a thing as being too thin. The words of Joseph Cawthorne, "I like 'em plump," set the standard. This plumpness can be obtained by careful effort. The first step towards this is to avoid nerves, fretting and irritability. Retire early and remain in bed as long as possible. Drink no tea or coffee, rather milk, cocoa or chocolate. Take mashed potatoes, with butter or cream, oatmeal, fresh bread, honey, eggs, tapioca; in short, all sugar and oily foods. No meat. Take great care to eat slowly and masticate each morsel thoroughly. A nap either before or after dinner is beneficial. Exercise must be regular and modern horseback riding, tennis and boating are good. Vocal exercises enlarge the chest. Small doses of cod liver oil should be taken several times a day. With strict application of these rules an improvement should be noted in three or four weeks. IMPROVED WORK BAG A belt with a revolver in the center. Adelaide S. Hemstreet of Indian Head, Canada, has just been granted a patent for a combination crochet work bag and spool holder. The work bag is suspended on a belt. On the belt also is placed a sheet metal bracket with arms for holding the spool. This allows the thread to be easily unwound as it is being used. There is no chance for the spool to slip off one's lap and roll across the floor and for the thread to become tangled. It is a practical invention, which should appeal to all women who are still old-fashioned enough to do crocheting. Bedmaking is hard on nails and it is advisable to wear an old pair of washable gloves when tucking in the sheets. corporation in your gown. The new line resembles a high up-curved corset. It is only to be considered by the slender. Stripes in the girdle are the note to be echoed when planning it. The vogue for the Roman stripe is still as pronounced as ever. Silks, ribbons, chiffons, nets and woolen fabrics are striped in many colors and used for the girdles of all types of gowns. The Turban and the Half Vell. The Turban and the Hair Veil. The Dry Goods Economist says that in spite of their long run close fitting turbans continue to occupy an exceptionally prominent position in the mif linary world. As a consequence, the half or nose veil, which is especially effective with this type of hat, continues an excellent seller. It is particularly popular in the dainty chenille and woven border designs. However, in many instances the more elaborate novelties which were originally designed for wear over the entire face are adjusted in nose fashion, the surplus amount of the veil being arranged over the hat so as to serve as an additional decoration , .BEDFORD 18 STILL ALIVE. ‘Wir, Green Locas and Mr. Boyd at- tended the A.
