The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3-Its correspondents are able and energetic. VOL. 22. NO. 21. A WOMAN IN COURT, WHAT RIGHTS SHE HAS BEFORE THE LAW. A Woman Called Upon to Testify Cannot Refuse to Appear "Without G excuse—About Taking the Oath—Wife and Husband Can not Ordinarily Testify Against Each Another—Professional Women Need Not Reveal the Confidence of Clients or Patients—The Rights of Mother to Guardianship of Child Differ in Different States—Books on the Legal Status of Women Which Might Be Read with Profit. BY KATHERINE LOUISE SMITH. (Copyright, 1966, by Joseph B. Bowles). In a recent investigation at Washington, the witness made the statement that he was a Quaker, and hence should be permitted to affirm instead of being sworn. It would be safe to state that hardly one woman in 20 who read this knew what it meant and that a number of men were equally ignorant. Occasionally a woman is called on to be a witness in a case, but it always makes her uneasy and the ignorance concerning her is summoned, how she testifies, and what is expected of her is universal. This is not to be wondered at when we consider the secluded lives that women have led. A slight understanding of the legal terms and customary proceedings may some time help a woman who is called upon to testify. A witness is a person who gives evidence in a legal proceeding before a court. When a woman is wished as a witness she is usually served with a paper called a subpoena, which orders her to appear in court at a certain time to testify. If she is properly served with such a paper and refuses or neglects to appear at the time and place specified, or can furnish no good excuse, she can be punished either by being compelled to pay damages or by fine and imprisonment. A subpoena can only be enforced when the person served is within the jurisdiction of the court issuing the same. When the woman reaches court she will be sworn to tell the truth and nothing but the truth in answering the questions asked of her while testifying, but if she has conscientious scruples against taking an oath she can say so and the court will permit her to testify on her affirmation that what she says is true. Or she may be sworn under some form of oath that he has sworn to testify that he been sworn on the Hebrew Bible, Hammedamns on the Koran, and in one peculiar instance a Chinaman was sworn by getting upon his knees and, while in that position, breaking a china sancer, and the court saying the following words: "You shall tell the truth and the whole truth; the sancer is cracked and if you do not tell the truth you shall be cracked like the sancer." This appeared to be the form of oath most binding on his conscience. When a witness tells a falsehood while testifying she commits what is called perjury and can be punished by imprisonment for so doing. As a general rule a husband and wife cannot testify against each other, but this rule does not apply to divorce suits, though it is an excellent one as regards minor offenses. There are, too, certain times when a woman can decline to answer certain questions such as when the answer would tend to incriminate her, or if she is a doctor or lawyer and is possessed of the confidence of her patient or client. But if she refuses to answer a question without any legal excuse she can be punished for contempt of court. "In reading and talking of insurance I am apt to get the technical terms confused. Will you please explain as simply as possible what is meant by the terms policy, premium, dividend, assets, etc."—A Woman Policyholder. The policy is the contract or instrument on which a company undertakes to indemnify a person in whose favor it is issued against the loss of the life of the policyholder, or upon her attaining a certain age. The premium is the amount to be paid to the insurance, usually annually or semi-annually, and is really the sum required to keep the policy in force according to its conditions. The dividend is the surplus or profit distributed to each policyholder after the liabilities of the company are reserved. Assets are the funds and available property of any kind belonging to a company. These simple terms being understood, it is easy to understand the different forms of insurance open to women and to talk intelligently concerning them. "Please tell me the right of a mother to assume guardianship of a child."—An Anxious Mother. The right of mothers equally with fathers in the guardianship of minor children is a recent development in American legislation, and at present exists in seven states: Pennsylvania, Colorado, Kansas, Maine, Nebraska, New York and Rhode Island. In the remaining states the preference is given to the father. It is a sad commentary on our law that in 37 states a married woman has no right to have her own children. As a rule, in regard to the disposition of children, the courts try to decide in accordance with the law that a married woman has case of separation without divorce, the has-band, under the common law, has permanent right to the custody of the minor children, unless the wife, as in some states, is awarded their custody upon a writ of habeas corpus. "Can you give me a list of books which have been recently issued in regard to the legal status of women? Something not too intricate to read understandingly, yet which will give man an idea of how women stand at present."—An Intelligent Woman. There are not many such books. It is only within the last few years that much has been accomplished in regard to the betterment of women from a legal standpoint, but there is no doubt that great changes are slowly but surely coming. Here is a list that may help you and pave the way to more and deeper reading. To understand woman's position one should know her condition in primitive times as well as in the present: "The Legal Status of Woman," compiled by the Suffrage association (1897). "Women in Law," by George Bayles (1901). "Mr. Lex-Legal Status of Motho and Child," by Katherine Waugh McCulloch (1899). "Husband and Wife" (London and Edinburgh), by F. P. Walton (1895). "Woman Before the Law," by John Profatt (1874). "Woman's Journal," the organ of the Woman Suffrage association, published in Boston. Probably the best of these is "Women in Law," as it is concise without being exhaustive. It is also nearer to date than any of the others. Mrs. McCulloch's book is good, though as a lawyer and member of the National Woman's Suffrage association, she takes a radical view of the case. COMPLEXION SERMON During Warm Days Avoid Pasty and Harmful Numbers and Lennon Resistant From now on, through the hot months, the woman who wants a good complexion must practice self-denial in the matter of diet. All sorts of pastries, highly seasoned foods and high living generally must be given up, or there will be no clear, smooth and beautiful skin for her. Cucumbers are never very expensive and rarely difficult to obtain. If a woman will simply slice the raw vegetable in thick slices, peel and all, and bind it on for a few hours, the knife is apparent almost immediately. When washed wash the spots in clear, warm water and rub in a little cold cream. The whitening ingredients in cucumbers is the crisnic, which lies largely in the pee, so that must be the part most used. Cucumbers are very full of water. If cut up and simmered in barely enough water to keep them from scorching, the best of this arsenical property is secured in the juice, and may be incorporated in creams and essences. Unlike the juice of lemons, cucumber juice does not roughen the skin. It has, however, an astringent quality that may leave a slight drawn feeling, and this is easily remedied by the cream. During the winter, when the skin becomes dry from the furnace heated atmosphere of most houses, and chapped and roughened from the force out-door winds, plenty of really "greasy" creams are needed; these not so good from now on, and others with more of the oils, like sweet almond and coconut, should be substituted. But the simple remedies of buttermilk, cucumbers and the like should be used, above and before any others. Sometimes, where the skin is very greasy, sallow and filled with ugly spots that seem neither "liver spots" nor "lemon spots", this method of applying lemon juice may prove very good. Fill a cup half full of milk and squeeze the juice of half a lemon into it; a curd forms, of course, and this should be applied freely to the face and neck; the effect is not unlike that of buttermilk and the wash should be let dry on. It should be used in the morning in place of water where the skin is very bad, and the skin is spiced off with a soft cloth; otherwise it may be applied at night, let it dry; then rub in some cold cream; in the morning use cold water. Keeping Up Appearances Col. Burdick, one of the leading citizens and politicians of the town of D, who had paid a visit to Washington within a year, called at the White House and been cordially welcomed by the president, was firmly of the opinion that he ought to receive, and would receive an invitation to the wedding of the president's daughter. Further than that, he had confided this conviction to several of his acquaintance, and as the time drew near for the event the colonel became uneasy, hassmuch as no invitation came. Something must be done in order to get out of the scrape gracefully. A few days before the appointed date he called at the leading stationer's and asked the proprietor of the store, in a casual way: "Mr. Jorkin, have you any engraved form for—er—sending_regrets in reply to an invitation to a White House wedding?" "No, sir," answered Mr. Jorkin. "Then I suppose I'll have to write 'em', he said, turning away and walking briskly out. Youth's Companion Hadn't Missed Any Pastor—Beware, young man. Remember, "The wicked shall not live out half their days. Rounder—Does the Bible say that? Pastor—Yes. Rounder—Well, I'm all right. I've lived all my life so far.—Cleveland Leader. RULES OF POLITENESS. Kindness Really at the Foundation o Them All and the Hall-Marks of Good Breeding. When the rules of politeness are once properly mestered, it will be found that they may be summed up thus: Politeness is to do and say, the kindest thing in the kindest way, writes Hortense Prevost. It seems strange when we remember that civility does not cost anything. Perhaps that is why it is no longer the fashion; this is an extravagant age, and its motto may be stated as "Look out for yourself, and others will take care of themself." How many appointments are broken; just broken, without the word of apology or warning. For this there is really not the least excuse in these days of telephones and special delivery stamps, to say nothing of messengers. And in the matter of those little notes of congratulation, or of condolence, or maybe of only remembrance; how many spare the time and have the patience to write them at exactly the right moment? Yet there is nothing so welcome, to say nothing of the fact that one has taken such a big piece of the proper direction, in the writing and reading of the letter. Passing through crowded thoroughfares, how seldom one hears the low-voiced "Thank you," or the pleasant "May I pass, please?" Such are the hall-marks of good breeding, and the woman or man who forgets to use them but knew, she or he has shown its lack in a most unmistakable way. In calling, again, there is a small rule that should be known and practiced. Suppose a man calls and finds some one already present; he should be there for to discover if that other be there for to discover his purpose, and if there is the least reason suppose that such is the case, take his departure. It happens sometimes that the host or hostess may have only this opportunity to converse with the first guest, and can see the second at any time; one should be quick to note these things. In doing things that can be said is that each individual should try to be polite; should strive to "do and say the kindest in the kindest way." A DESK CONVENIENCE 8. "Letter-Slip" In Which to Put Important Letters That Early Demand Attention. "A place for everything and everything in its place" is an admirable proverb, but in spite of every precaution things are apt at times to get into the wrong places, and what is more annoying than mislaying some important letter that is waiting to be answered? The letter "clip" of which we give a sketch has been designed for the purpose of providing this trouble, and it is intended for use on a writing-table. Placed in a prominent 7-INCHES 6-INCHES A LETTER CLIP. position with those letters that demand not to be forgotten in it, it will often save us time and trouble. It is simple of construction and easily made, and the size suggested in the sketch will be found a useful one. The strong, strong board will serve as a foundation, and the paper will be covered with a dark colored art serge and edged with cord. Across the center is an elastic band, under which letters and papers are easily slipped. The "clip" is supported very much in the same manner as an ornate photograph frame by a piece of covered paper with serge and hinged on with a strip of the same material. Summer Wrap. One of the prettiest wraps to slip over a thin summer dress in the evening is a rainbow shawl knitted in Sheetland floss. The materials required are: Four skins cream Shetland floss, two skins pink, one skin corn, one skin blue, one skin nile green, one skin lavender, one pair large wooden knitting needles. Cast on 73 tatches and knit entire shawl plain. The colorings are put in as follows: Pink, 10 rows; blue, 10 rows; corn, 10 rows; white, 10 rows; pink, 10 rows; nile, 10 rows; lavender, 10 rows; white, 80 rows. Repeat border, beginning with lavender and ending with pink. Bind off loosely. Tie in fringe of the colors to match the border; make two rows of knots and trim. After the Service The Minister--That was a rather long sermon I preached this morning, my dear. Do you think it met with the approval of the congregation? Did you see, so, Abner. I noticed they were a noodling--Rebohth Sunday Herald. A Breath Sweetener Tincture of myrrh is a breath sweetener and only a few drops in a half glass of water—just enough to make a milky lotion—are needed. Nerve Tonic. Onlone are an excellent nerve tonic, and a small onion eaten raw will often cause restful sleep. TO THE SCHOOL GIRL The Production of a Standard School Book Calls for More Bruns, Conscience and Labor Than a Three-Volume Novel—One Cannot Help Feeling Sorry for the Authors of the Many Poor, Abused School Books—Treat Your Books with Respect—They May Be of Value to You for Reference in the Future When You Least Expect It. BY MARGARET K. SANGSTER. I am about to contend to you, Dorothy, a little weakness I cannot endure a book that is severed either with a loose paper protection, or a tightly fitting extra garb of any fabric whatever. When a new book comes into my hands the first thing I do, unless I expect to lend it, is to throw away the pretty outside covering, which in these days publishers put on new books. If I think that she shall have occasion to lend the book after a friend, or to a girl neighbor, or perhaps to one of you, to whom I am writing, I take pains to preserve the portable cover, and I slip it on before the book leaves my possession. Let me whisper to you that very few people love their books as I love mine, and that very few people care for them as I do. I enjoy the beauty of fair type, fine paper, and choice illustrations, and I have a great regard for a beautiful binding. I never hold a book in hands that are soiled, or leave it face downward and on a chair or table, or hand it over to a child that it may keep the child quiet. I have lent books before now to very dear friends, and have had them returned in such a condition of loosened leaves, spotted pages, stained bindings and degenerate condition generally, that I have at once thrown them into the fire and bought others. One may wish to share the pleasure a book gives us with some one she is fond of, and still hesitate if she is aware that her friend has never learned to treat a book with respect for its worth, and regard for its cost. Take your school books, for instance, Dorothy. They are really charming books. From the mechanical point of view a good many people have invest time, thought, learning and skill, in their studies. In the first place the students spent laborious months and years in learning the subject of the school text-books, and he toiled over it that he might conduce a great deal of information into concrete and compact statement, making it so simple, so lucid and so clear, that the beginner in science or literature could comprehend it in a daily task. You may fancy that it is easy to write definitions and formulas and rules. In reality, nothing in literature is so hard. More brains and more conscience and more labor go into one production of a standard school book than into the writing of an ethic poem or a three-volved novel. I saw Rosamond in a fit of vexation to her arithmetic across the room, to the treatment of the poor book, and I felt a little throb with pity for the man who had made such a metic. A set of reading books into which have gone specimens of the best English literature, culled from many fields, is a treasure well worth a school-girl's nicest care. Cover your book, if you like, it is the custom in your school and the teachers insist on your doing so, but use the books so well that if they are not covered they may be passed on to other classes or to younger children, without having suffered harm. Besides the authors who are the creators, so to speak, of our books, they are the publishers and the printers and the paper-makers and the artists and the people who finally sell the books, all of whom have their separate fingers in the pie, before it is ready to slip into your hands. When a book is your own, where do you keep it? I hope if you have your own room that one portion of its furnishings includes a book shelf. When you have done with a book, put it in its place. There are girls who never have a place for anything; one of them once paid me a visit, and from the moment she crossed my threshold until the day she kissed me good by and went merry away, chaos followed in her track. She left her things all over the house, she got her room looking as if it had been taken by a cyclone, and as for books, she had the faintest notion of their dignity. She took the precaution of hiding away one or two of these that I most prized, one estelle should ruin them altogether before she departed. I do hope that you have been better started on the road than had been the fortune of this poor child, who was a dear notwithstanding her heedless ways. Few girls stop to think that they have a gold mine in their school textbooks. They know that they must devote time and attention to them, and that they are the stepping stones to culture. A girl would be very stupid who did not appreciate this. Beyond this, too, school books possess something of the value that other reference books do in a library. After you have been in a school some day be in company with a traveler explorer who has seen strange things in the heart of Africa or has ventured into distant regions in another zone. Defective Page You can converse with him more intelligent and get more profit from his fascinating talk than would otherwise be possible, if you have at your hand a school geography and an atlas. You may be reading the daily paper, and there you may find that war is threatened with a foreign country. You will turn to your school history and learn in a few moments something about the country, and its relations to the rest of the globe. You will go back to the newspaper with far greater interest. The advantage of the school book over other books is that as I have already said, it is condensed and clear and units of superficial comment on the part of its author and confines itself to actual facts. Of course you are interested in the study of nature. This is very popular at the moment, and promises to be more than a passing fad. You have the latest botany and the latest zoology among your books. You will find them helpful after awhile as side-lights on a large and delightful class of books, that will tempt you in spring and summer on excursions out of doors, either to the zoological gardens to inspect strange animals and repose, or to the wide fields to gather flowers to sow from Nature herself the story of our exquisite secrets. Be careful of our secret books. To-take admirable books, so far as the outside is concerned, is the hall-mark of a lady. To know a good deal about the inside of books, to reverence them as they deserve, and to prize them as the finest treasures money can buy, are also hall-marks of those who belong to the best classes in civilization. (Copyright, 1906, by Joseph B. Bowles.) BUSINESS WOMAN'S DRESS She Keeps to the Mode But Above All Neatness Should Be the Conspicuous Feature. Effective light-colored materials fashion the majority of the modish suits. Built in one of the new fabrics, which is a cross between a Panama and a silk broadcloth, and which is patterned to show an invisible plaid in exclusive design, the skirt displays plaited model with panel simulated by narrow bands of gray taffeta trimmed below the knee with small silvered buttons. The Eton jacket is set off in similar manner by stitched bands which form a suspender effect from the shoulder to the lower edge of the little coat. A finishing touch, characteristic of well-e dressed business woman, who is conspicuous first, last and always by her immaculate neatness, is the carefully laundered collar and cuff set of white plaque which adds a starched elegance to an already exceptionally dapper street costume. Two other styles of suits have also gained vogue with the business woman, though the Eton jacket and skirt to stand prime favorite. The first of these is the corset skirt with a croco. This distinguishing feature of the little jacket for the modish practical dresses is a light cloth or chlamys vest which lies in double-breasted fashion over the bust. Cloth-covered buttons appear in profusion, and fill the role of an exceptionally stunning and withal sensible form of trimming for both pieces of the suit. The second style of suit is the separate coat with light skirt, a combination popular for the past three seasons, and this spring varied by the unique loose cut of the pony jacket and the swaying folds of the ankle-length accordion-plated pipe. Plaid effects in many shades of gray or one plain color make the background are the favorite materials for the old skirt while broadcloth to match the principal tone in the plaid shapes the accompanying jacket. The black pony coat with the striking black and white accordion-plated skirt, is, perhaps, most commonly seen and in the long run most serviceable. CROSS-STITCH INITIAL. This Simple Initial Is the Kind Often Used for Marking Household Linon and Blankets. Here is a letter of the cross-stitch alphabet. It is a simple letter suit. A PRETTY LETTER. able for marking household linen or blankets, and may be worked by one not well-skilled in needle craft. Premature Gravness Very often the hair turns gray over the temples and sometimes at the back of the head. When this occurs at an early age the hair can be restored by expert scalp massage and the use of a tonic, which has a tendency to darken the locks. To Clean White Kids Shoes. For cleansing white kid shoes, use dry pine clay. Use a stiff brush and rub thoroughly until the spot disappears. IMPORTED FROM PARIS. An Exquisite Corn-Color Broadcloth with Charming Bolero of Irish Crochet Lace. Side by side with another lovely model was a Paquin frock, also Empire in character, but with a difference. This was a street frock, or, rather, a coat and skirt costume for dress occasions, and was in its own way very successful, though it had not the quiet and exquisite distinction of the gray frock. A corn color chiffon broadcloth was the chosen material and the skirt was absolutely plain, but hung in graceful folds that spoke volumes for the OF LATEST MODE. skill of the maker and meant more than any amount of elaborate trimming. The coat, too, was in a way severe. It was of the cloth, but superb Irish lace formed a little boloer laid over the cloth and holding the coat smugly to the figure down to a point just below the bust line. Below that the coat fell freely to a line below the hip curve and was trimmed. A plain collar of the cloth fell back over the lace boloer, cloth cuffs were on the sleeves and odd, scarflike tabs of the cloth hung loose from bust to the bottom of the coat in the front. FASTENS IN THE BACK. Waist That Fastens Thus Has Many Advantages in Way of Looks But Has Drawbacks. The waist which fastens in the back is undoubtedly more becoming to many people than the one with the front fastening. It lends itself more to elaborate decoration and sets better figures. But it has its drawbacks. Man says that a few days ago he was waiting in a suburban station for a train when a young woman came into the building with every appearance of having run to get there. Before she had had time to recover her breath she walked up to another woman who was awaiting the arrival of the train and said, breathlessly: "Excuse me, but would you mind buttoning my waist up the back for me. I had no whoeet to do it, and I was afraid if I went to one of the landlords I should miss my train." While ladies talked she peeled off her fur jacket, hardly waiting for the other woman's acquiescence. The woman wore a pretty silk lingerie waist and a considerable breadth of pink shoulder was disclosed to view when the jacket was removed. She kept a pleural murmuring of apologies or thanks to the other woman all the time the 18 or so buttons were being fastened, but she never even cast a look toward the man of the room. And the man on his part says he could not afford maids did he have good sense enough to wear waists the fastening of which were within their own reach. FLOATING SUMMER VEIL With Us Again and the Way to Put On to Have It Both Useful and Dashing. About three yards of material are required, and the colors are a pale cream, a soft gray, a light pink, a pastel blue of some one of the lighter shades of green. The color should, in all cases be light and should harmonize with the gown if it does not closely match it. The material had best a chiffon, which is after all, the most delicate of materials. The绒 now covers itsears closely and shuts out one's sight and it, consequently, requires some plining. With two small pins it must be gathered back a little at the sides and secured so that it does not obscure one's vision. It holds on the hat well, but does not cover the ears quite as tightly, nor does it obstruct one's vision as it did before. This is one of the neatest and prettiest of ways of wearing the new automobile or wind welf. it holds the hat on forever, in the case of any gale, and it gives a woman, consequently, that dash she needs. Combs and Brushes To keep the hair in the best condition much attention must be paid to the condition of the combs and brushes. This is always attended to by the professional hairdresser and often neglected at home. Use Philosophy. The wrinkle habit that comes with age ought to be accepted philosophically. Forget it. $2.40 PER YEAR. SOME DIVERSIONS SUGGESTIONS FOR NOVEL AND PLEASING ENTERTAINMENTS. A Pie Party Makes Another of the Guessing Contests—A Charming Grandmother's Tea—Pre- Nuptial Luncheon. A Cake Party. "Will you come to my party on Thursday night in a costume representing a cake, cookie or a doughnut?" so the invitations read that were received by the girls. Those addressed to the men were the same, excepting that they were asked to come attired as bakers. On the night designated a most motley throng assembled and peals of laughter greeted each cake as she arrived, accompanied by her baker. Some of the costumes were exceedingly clever. One girl in a pale coral-colored gown, trimmed with a fringe of tiny sponge and a sponge in her hair, was recognized at once as "sponge cake." Chocolate cake wore a gown of alternate ruffles of brown and white, with a necklace of small chocolate squares. With little red devils, and she wore a diabolical little imp in her hair, course she was "devil's food." Bride's cake was represented by a girl in white, with veil and orange blossoms. Marble cake was a gown made of patches of white, pink and brown. And so the list went on until it seemed as if every recipe in the cook book was present. After all had arrived the cakes were lined up, with the bakers in a line facing them. The hostess spoke to the first "baker," and asked now he would make, say, "sponge cake." After giving some sort of a formula he was permitted to take that cake out of the bowl and talk with her for ten minutes. In the meantime we were prepared with partners. Dancing we were enjoyed hour, then refreshments took up the balance of the evening, as chafing dishes were used, the "bakers" assisting. Ice cream was served in hollowed out sponge cakes and was delicious. A Doll Party. A girl of ten is going to entertain her little friends by giving a doll party. She has asked a dozen doll mothers to bring their favorite child and spend the hours from three until five. Gay silk pieces, odds and ends of lace will be provided, and each child is to make one article for her doll. The place cards are to be tiny toys, each one dressed differently, and tied on its arm will be a wee basket with the doll's name tied on the handle. Boxes in shape of little trunks will contain the candy. The girls will enjoy this delicious menu: Minced chicken sandwiches, coconut cream with cream, ice cream in small flower pots with cinnamon "growing" in it, assorted cakes ornamented with thyme dolls and fuffy white of egg kisses. A Farewell Party. This novel party is to be given by a young woman who is going to Europe shortly, and she has devised this clever scheme to bid her friends good-by. The invitations have a sketch of an ocean liner and a girl with a suit-case and grip harrying on board. Over the water, she is given a date." When the guests arrive they guide books, all sorts of tourist literature, sailing lists and "pencils with paper for each one. Given a half hour, the party is requested to make out an itinerary and drop it into a basket, from which the hostess will read the planned. The two journeys receiving the most votes will be awarded prizes, one a trunk, the other a suitcase, both of which are candy boxes. The table centerpiece is to be a miniature ship and the oyster department and flying the German flag, as the girl is to sail on a North German Lloyd liner. A typical German lunch is to be served of Frankfurt sausage, dropped into boiling water in the chafing dish and allowed to remain just five minutes; potato salad mustard dressing, cold asparagus salad, white and rye bread cheese sandwiches also made on a chafing dish, coffee, and, if there are no objections, beer, and if there are beets, radishes, olives, celery and pickles. Tiny stins, German flags and pipes are to be the favors. MADAME MERL Shirt-Waist Box. A very convenient shirt waist box, described in Good Housekeeping, is an extra long one divided into two compartments, one ior waist and the other for white petiotes, for which there is never enough room in closet that can be covered with matting, and two rowes with tape, tacked at intervals inside the ld, hold stocks and turnovers smooth and unruled. Youthful Looking The waist that opens down the back is more youthful than the buttoned-up waist, and it is likewise more decorative. One can get better effects with the wide: smooth front than with the one that is broken by many buttons. The idea is a pretty one and one that is destined: to live and to grow, even as it has lived and grown the past three seasons. Brittle Nails. For the brittle nails, try the following: To equal parts of refined pitch and myrrh, curpentine and myrrh; melt together and spread on the nails at night, covering with a bandage. In the morning remove the pitch with olive oil. wetective Page = ee a SENSE ba _ Ayalea Jy Tre Speen Aw aa 2 jt, MARC NC An wy ea.

AMERICA'S CROWNING GLORY. Everybody knows that the crown- ing glory of our country is Its Chris- Hanity, It is true that we find. it necessary at times to. burn a. few hundred Afro-Americans, North and South, and to dynamite an objection: able governor, but these trivial inci- dents are largely overbalanced by the New York hotels. boyeottingGorky and by ourefforts to eonciliateour Southern brethren, Yet a perverse writer has the nerve to publish the. following skit: “IE the state of New York is a Chris: tian State, with its 27,000 saloons in operation, then we suppose the devil will, rejoice when any city, state oF county becomes a Christian city, state or country and the Millenium i thus uishered in. ‘The facts in the case are, the devil runs those saloons and those saloons run the politicians and the politicians run the state.” BEN TILLMAN ET AL. A correspondent of the Chicago Chronicle has this to say of Senator Tillman: “He transcends all rules of common decency and should be thrown out of the senate by the seruff of the heck on the general principle that he is an enemy of the republic and other. wise nnfit to associate with gentlemen and loyal citizens.” ‘And the Chronicle refers to “the barbarous Tillman." This is only one of the many indications that a national shaking of the bloody shirt is Impend- Ing. The North Is. as humble as Uriah Heep, but it protests gently against the Jim crow hill-billies knocking It down and kicking it for falling. It is awful to comtemplate what scenes will occur when Tilman is reenforced by Jet? Davis and Vardaman, It does not look well for the country to see two lawyers chased from their homes and afraid to return for daring to appeal a case to the Supreme Court of the United States. Yet such js the case with Messrs Hutchens and Par- den, two Afro-American lawyers who detnded Johnson recently lynched at Chattanooga. Neither does it look well for two jurors to be discharged from their plices of employment because they Were members of a jury that Found that an.

THE BLUE EYES OF ETHEL, Lee an | Although tama serious-minded jman, 1 trust I can tolerate, and even indulge in, moderate levity at times. Ethel says 1 can and she, if anyone does, should know. For months before I met her at the graduating reception of my clags in college, I had heard of her as being “a mighty pretty girl.” Now if there was oue thing which I then held in utter scorn, it was a pretty girl. I carried Franklin's saying of “handsome is that hand: some does” to the extreme—and beyond, if I may be permitted the expression, I held that feminine plainness and virtue walked hand in hand, and that no girl who was pretty could also be fitted for the pedestal on which my ideal was raised. So you see Ethel Elwell won no anti-acquaintance homage from me on account of her being acknowledged pretty. ‘At the reception, however, we were forced into each other’s com- pany. Most of the fellows except me happened to be either engaged or head over heels in love and there was a prevalent opinion, 1 afterward learned, that the man who had won the highest honors in the class of 02 ought to have some claim upon the belle of the reception, which Ethel undoubted: ly was. Imade a frank acknowledgment to her at the outset. As we are to be neighbors at our summer houses up in the Oid Granite state this year, we ought to be acquainted, but I promise not to keep you from your, cou: quest of hearts. You must on the other hand, count me as an im- mune. I have never yet seen the woman I could love, though Ihave many friends among your sex. 1 promise, then, not to fall in love | with you, and you of course don't have to say you won't fall in love with me. That goes without say: ing. Now, let’s be friends and friends only!” | For the smallest fraction of a Isecond the blue eyes of Ethel iecked into mine, and then drooped shyly under tlieir silken fringes. Although, as I said, Lam a serious-minded man. I felt the: queerest sensation about my tem: plés Thad ever konwn. It was like being under fire for the first time. Ethel extended her hand, quite the prettiest I have ever seen— small, white and delicate beyond expression. “Thank you,” she exclaimed in a low, frank voice. “Lam sotived of the men who fall in loye with me, I tell you the simple truth when I say you are the first—the very first—who has promised to be only a friend. You can’t think how exceedingly refreshing it is!” As we adjourned to our sum- mer residences in Hudson the next | week, we saw much of each other after that. ‘There was canoeing on the liquid silver of the Merri. mack and there was golf among the hills, whieh looked as if they might have served as (ees for the Titaus of old. ‘Whe last day came, the day when L was forced to end my vacation. Ethel and I sat in the twilight on ‘the veranda of “River Rest,” as the Elwell cotiage was called. | We occupied opposite ends of the same willow seat. “And we're still friends,” I said, elatedly. “Ethel”—I called her that in the spirit of true comrade ship—‘you can’t tell how much that means to me!” “L did not suppose that the vale dictorian of his cliss at college | would care for even the friendship fof a girl like me!” she auswered in such a tone that 1 even began it think Ethel might be serious, | though 1 had seldom seen her in ‘such a mood. I steeled myself at the thought that she might be playing with me as she had played with others, I resolved that the fish who had escaped her net through a sei son's angling should not bedrawn into its meshes at the close. Ire. solved to change the subject. “What is your programme for to-niorrow?” I asked, lightly. “Boating, fishing, golting, ten- ee eae a et ON are California trip in prospect, and I wondered how soon she'd “get away’ from Grady. A sbrprise was in store for me. “Papa says the Gradys are go: ing with us: 1 expect, from what he says we'll start about the first of October.” “You'll be making an end of your conquests soon, Ethel,” 1 said, feeling as if Pd been shaken in a train collision, I laughed nervously. “Perhaps you'll be marrying Grady!” “Perhaps!” She actually smiled. At that moment I could haye fought Grady at ten paces or less. “You see a girl can’t always cateh matrimonial fish, Why, it won't be long before 1 lose enough of my limited attractiveness to be down in your class of homely girls —the only sort you could. ever love!” Thad told her of my distaste for, and distrust of, pretty girls. “Did Isay that?” I asked, guard. edly. “Tam sure you did,” she an- nounced positively. Confound it! Tcould not contradict her! “But you have many years of at- tractiveness before you,” I admit- ted, feeling forced into a compli ment justitiéd by facts. “As if 1 wanted them!" she cried, scornfully. “Why, I would give the world to have it disre- garded, to be seen as myself, and to have others care for me, if they cared at all, for what Tam!” Really, I had not supposed Ethel capable of sneha sentiment, 1 began to look at her in a new light. Was it possible—? But there Istopped. Of course it wasn’t! “can never tell just how it hap- pened. I know we were sitting nearer to each other than the limi- tations of the willow seat. “And, Robert, we're still friends, aren’t we?” I remember hearing her say, as one remembers things which ocenr in a dream, “Yes,” — awkwardly — “and 1 promised not to fall in love with you!” Was my arm about her waist? “But I—I didn't make any prom- ise?” Her saying that, I remem- ber very, very distinetly, for it was superlatively sweet fo my ears. “Do you absolve me from my promise?” 1 asked. ‘There was no answer in words, but I knew that I was absolved, I no longer feared the result of the western trip, and when Imet Hartley Grady next day I shook hands with him so enthusiastieal- ly that he seemed surprised, In spite of her being a pretty, girl, I love Ethel dearly. MIGHTY MEAN CUSTOMER. Got In His Knock in a Way That ‘Was Underhanded and ‘Villainous. ‘The mean customer halted on his way to the door of the restau- rant and accosted the German proprietor, relates the Providence Evening Tribune and Telegram. “Your cooking here is all right,” he remarked, “all right. 1 rarely get a poor dish here, and never one that 1 have to send back; and V've been coming here off and ou for years. Some day, when I get time, I'm going to ask you to give me a recipe to take home.” “Tam glad to haf you say so,’ replied the owner of the place, beaming and throwing out his chest. “Most of the gentlemen who are accustomed to taking meals here regularly haf told me before that they were satisfied, We mean to haf the best. What was it aboud that you haf on your mind?” “{ want to find out,” said the mean customer, “how you make an oyster stew without oysters.” “hat,” sputtered the Dutch man, “iss as old, alretty yet, as the first tam cliurch fair you hat helt in this impolite county.” Mulssclan Manekne casas. In Bulgaria “servant markets” are held twice a year, On April 28 and October 26, the town of Sofia swarms with them, and peo: ple make bargains with them, During the winter servants .are very cheap, from merely the price of the girl's board to four dollars amonth for one who cooks, washes and irons. ‘The reason of their be- ing plentiful and cheap in-the fall ‘is because the peasants send all their girls to the cities for the win- ter, because they have no work for them at home.

The services last Sunday morning were on the revival order; two more were added to the church—Miss Oresta Yancy and Mrs. Mary E. Brown. Fourteen people have joined the church during. Graves pastorate of St. James. Rev. Graves subject for Sunday morning will be "The Pouring of the Spirit" and in the evening, "The Victor's Crown." Brother Noah Anderson departed this life in the full triumph of faith, on Thursday at 4:45 p.m. welcoming the church on account of earth; his was a glorious example of Christian life and fortitude. Mae Mae Black Mason sang "Though your Sins be as Scarlet," very feelingly, Sunday morning. St. James is to have a Choral Society; all who wish to join will kindly hand in their names to Rev. H. S. Graves. This is to be a permanent organization. The collection last Sunday was $15.77; the rainy season has an effect upon the collection. Mrs. H. S. Graves left Saturday morning to attend the meeting of the Women's Federation at Des Molines, and it spend several days in her late home. It was neglected to state last week that the Odd Fellows' collection for the church was $9.03, for which thanks are given. The Ladies of the Eastern Star will have their sermon delivered by Rev. Graves at St. James, June 3, 1906. A new feature is the ushers who will be Dale Taylor, Fredda Robinson, Garan Smith and Fredda Robinson. Owing to throat trouble Mrs. Bessie Miller was compelled to stop singing in the choir. The One More Effort Club met with Mrs. H. S. Graves last Tuesday evening and the parsonage was packed. The Club meets next Tuesday evening. The parsonage is iningham, 636 Rondo street. All Kentuckians are especially invited to attend. ```markdown ``` HOUSES FOR RENT.

RUFUS A. HOYT Republican Candidate for Clerk of the District Court Rufus A. Hoyt, Vice-President of the Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress, which met in St. Paul, August 19-22, 1902, was born in Auburn, N. Y. He is descended from an old family of Westphalia. He read law in the University of Pittsburgh. Previous to this, he was bookkeeper and cashier of a large mercantile house for six years. After reading law, he spent a few years in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. While in Colorado he had charge, as assigne, of a large mercantile failure, and we also engaged in mining and the construction of a company for three years during the Indian troubles. He returned to New York, and after a visit with his father, came to St. Paul fifteen years ago. The first year he was here he became assigne of a large mercantile failure in Christine, N. D. He represented a large mercantile firm in the capacity of a commercial traveler. He was a delegate to the Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress, held at Cripple Creek, Col., in 1901. After some hard work and a brilliant five-minute speech, he brought the Congress here against great opposition. He read a congress did benefit St. Paul and the state hundreds of thousands of dollars. Mr. Hoyt is in the life and accident insurance business, and has represented the same companies for the last twelve years; is agent of the State Humane Society, a member of the City Humane Society, of the Maternity, the Lifesaving, the Community and the Indian Order of Eastern Star, and National Humane Society. As member of the City Development Committee, Mr. Hoyt did heroic work that helped secure the additional 20 acres for the State Fish Hatchery, and permanently for Runaway County, Mr. Hoyt is well and favorably known, and has a host of friends. Mr. Owen Howell, the manager of the Valet Tailoring Co. No. 156 E. Sixth street, has branched out again. He has secured the room next door to his shop and has fitted up one of the nicest sort of smoking parlor to be found in the city. There is a handstand in the room and a cup and handsome furnished back parlor or den for lovers of the weed. The tailor shop and the cigar parlor are connected by a large archway. Both places are beautifully painted, papered and decorated. In short it is just the sweltest place in town. He invites you to the shop. He will keep a pull stock of cigars, tobacco and smokers articles second to none in the city. You must see the place to appreciate it. A.

"I hope you don't mind my staring at you, general," began Miss Guscher. "You know, a cat may look at a king—" "Oh! interrupted the famous Gen. O'Bull, trying to be gallant, "but really, you know, I'm not a king." The reward of mastering one difficulty is to meet another.

Princess Ena, who is to marry the young King of Spain, is described as very tall, fair, of a round face resembling the Duke of Connaught's when he was her age, and with the cheeks, chin, and something in the mouth of Queen Victoria when young. She is good humored, and inclined to hearty laughter. When the Princess does not laugh she does her best to preserve the air the Queen preserves at drawing rooms. The eyes are not large nor expressive, but not dull either, and rather agreeable. It would be hard to describe the condition her hair. Autumn foliage as it turns from jusset to pale yellow is comparable to it. A toiton d'or, it might be called, if the tinge of russet were replaced by gold. But a Parisian hairdresser would know how to cast sunbeams on it, as August did on the "lively auburn" hair of the Empress Eugenie. Princess Ena is too much Queen Victoria's granddaughter not to be as much in love (and for life) with Alfonso as he is now with her. A Famous Betreat. The late General Schofield was once describing in Washington a certain retreat of cavalry. "I call it a retreat," he said, "but I should really call it a rout." He smiled. "In this retreat," he went on, "the comanding general, as his charger tore like the wind along, turned to an aide who galloped beside him, and said, "Who are our rear guard?" The aide, without ceasing for an instant to belobar his panting steed, replied: "Those who have the worst horses, sh.' A Bad Sign. Dr. H. Tuckwell, who has just died at Oxford, was, it is said, once staying at a friend's home, when, during breakfast one morning, he and his host, also a doctor, began to discuss the number of letters each received. Just then the postman arrived, and delivered two letters for Tuckwell and about forty for his host. "Thereo!" remarked the host, "in spite of your large practice and popularity, Tuckwell, I've beaten you hollow. "Yes," replied Dr. Tuckwell, quietly, "but I notice that most of your letters are in black-edged envelopes." The Young Peoples Club meets on Friday evenings. Lideen & Co.

To Ralph Tabot, Jr., a second lieutenant of the Twelfth cavalry, belongs the distinction of being perhaps the youngest commissioned officer of the United States army. The rules for the admission of cadets to the military academy prescribe that no candidate shall be admitted who is under 17, but Lieutenant Talbot entered West Point on the very day that he reached the minimum age limit. He was born on June 18, 1884, and was appointed from Colorado. He was commissioned a lieutenant of cavalry on June 13, 1905, or five days before his minority expired. Upon graduation he was assigned to the Twelfth cavalry, and is now with his regiment at Fort Riley, Kas., detailed as a student officer at the infantry and cavalry school. Where Man's Power is Fatal Man is the only animal which is always accompanied by disease, except those creatures that are his companions and share his patronage. There is reason to believe that the denizens of the forests, the veldt, the rivers and the ocean, so far as they escape man's influence, live, with hardly an exception, healthy lives. Chronic alliments begin with man's protection in the dairy, stable and kennel. Man has created artificial conditions with which the "thousand fills that flesh is heir to" are associated. It is now his supreme task to bring these conditions into harmony with the laws of his being. Sickness and debility are not to be regarded as natural and inevitable parts of our heritage, but as the fruits of rebellion against nature's laws, and therefore to be got rid of. If the human family dwelt in ventilated houses, breathed pure air, lived temperately with little or no alcohol, and took daily exercise in the open, it would, perhaps, know little more of gout, rheumatism, cancer, fever, lumbago, dyspepsia, asthma and the host of infectious troubles than do the lower animals. His Brilliant Hour Had Passed. A Chicagoan was praising the late Marshall Field. "Mr. Field was a kindly man," he said. "He spoke ill of no one. And when his opinion was asked of a person, and it was not a favorable opinion, he would express it in such a gentle and quaint way that its sting were quite lost. "Once, at a dinner, I praised the conversational talent of a man across the table. I said to Mr. Field: "Do you know him?" "I have met him," the other answered. "Well, he is a clever chap," said I. "He can talk brilliantly for an hour at a stretch." "Then, when I met him," said Mr. Field, "it must have been the beginning of the second hour." A Good Answer. When William Jennings Bryan was in London a guide, showing him over an arsenal, said, with a malicious chuckle, as he pointed to a pair of rusty cannon: "I suppose you know where we got those?" "No. Where did you get them?" Mr. Bryan asked. "Why," said the guide, "we took them from you Yankees at Bunker Hill." Mr. Bryan smiled. "I see," he said, "You've got the cannon, but we've got the hill." Three Giant Brothers Three giant brothers named Phillips are among the new members of the British parliament and all are Liberals. Wynford Phillips, returned from Pembroke county, is six feet three inches tall; Owen Phillips, six feet seven inches, represents Pembroke borough, and Ivor Phillips, six feet four inches, is from Southampton. The three stalwarts are sons of Rev. Sir Erasmus Phillips. Nearly Correct. "I want to complain about the way you printed the notice of my daughter's wedding," said the fussy old man. "Now the bride's name was Gratia, and—" "How did we have it?" interrupted the editor. "You had it 'Gratis,' sir." "Well, that's not so bad. You gave her away, didn't you?" Narrow Escape. "I can cure you, I believe," said the young doctor, "but you must drink no coffee—" "I never do drink coffee," Interrupted the patient. "Er, don't interrupt me. As I was saying, you must drink no coffee but purest Mocha. You must drink a little of that every morning." Retort Courteous. "Aw-captain, you used to be a whaler, didn't you?" "Yes." "Would you mind telling me—aw—what kind of bait you used in catching a whale?" "Dudes, when we could get 'em, young feller." Conjugation of the word "buss," "to kiss:" Blunderbus—To kiss the wrong person. Omnibus—To kiss everybody. Syllabus—To kiss a homely girl. Customers Do Not Kick. A mule by any other name would kick just as hard as "Maud" does. The same fabric with any other name would wear just as long as Saxony-Cheviot. But you know and we know that when you buy Saxony-Cheviot that it will wear until the proverbial cow home that it will never wear. That it will remain longer than ordinary fabric—that it is just about the most dressy fabric that could be put into a $30 suit. That's the price we ask for a made-for-you suit of it. Lideen & Co., Tallors, 104 E. 7th St. Waiting for Population. Richard Arthur, M.P.P., president of the Immigration League of Australia, has been pointing out some startling facts in reference to the lack of population in the commonwealth. In the vast northern territory there are only 820 whites, or one inhabitant to every 700 square miles. The immense empty spaces, he says, cry out for population. The world has grown so small that the only solid title to any part of its surface is effective occupation. Modern methods of transit have brought the vast, unoccupied northern territory of Australia within easy reach of the teeming Asiatic peoples. A Tobacco less Cigar Senator Knox's physician advised him to give up smoking a few days ago and put him in the same class with Senator Spooner, also smokeless after forty years of it. Senator Knox's physician happened up at the capitol and went into the senator's committee room to pass the time of day. He found Knox smoking a cigar. "Here, senator," he said, "I thought I told you to quit that." "Quit what? asked Knox in mild surprise. "Why, quit using tobacco." "Tobacco! Why, my dear doctor, I am not using tobacco. I am merely smoking a cigar Senator Dolliver gave me." Satisfactory Business Man (to applicant)—Well, your testimonials are excellent and you seem to be a pushing traveler. I suppose you have never been in trouble of any kind. Applicant—Yes; I was twenty days in jail once. Business Man (taken aback)—Indeed! Well, I am afraid that—But what were you sent to prison for? Applicant—For nearly killing a man who refused to give me an order. Business Man—You are enraged. Conclusions. "I notice," said the veteran trout, "that your young wife has disappeared." "Yes," replied the other veteran, "a fly dropped in the water near her this morning, and, without investigating, she concluded it was all right." "Yes?" "Yes; so she jumped at the conclusion and that concluded her." Appropriate "I don't approve of that slang," protested Mr. Stiffly. "Neither do I, always." said the youngest member of the firm, "but there are times when it's the only proper language to use." "When, may I ask?" "Why, for instance, 'Wouldn't this weather freeze ye?' Not the Real Brand. "That's not a real whine you give when you fall on the stage from the effects of drink, is it?" asked the novice in stage matters. "No," replied the actor; "it is only sham pain." She Knew. The Fiance—Yes; Percy placed it on my finger last night. Isn't it a beauty? Her Dearest Friend—Yes; but in about a fortnight you'll find it will make a funny black mark on your finger. It did on mine. Delicate Hint. His Wife—A queer thing happened this morning. As I was going across the street the wind blew my old bonnet off. Her Husband—Indeed! His Wife—Yes; and it was an easterly wird, too. GIANTESS SAVED A SAILOR. Circus Strong Woman, 7 Feet Tall, Pitted Strength Against Waves. After a long voyage which Captain Ressing declares to be the worst of his experience, the Hamburg-American line steamer Bluecher arrived in port Tuesday with a story of the heroic rescue of a seaman from a very perilous position by Julie Winsted, the Danish giantess of the Barnum & Bailey circus. For a period of several hours last Friday enormous waves thundered aboard the ship. Chris Voegel, a seaman, was attempting to dash between the first and second cabin superstructures, when a wave swept him from his feet and swept him toward the starboard rail. Miss Winsted was standing with several other passengers at the entrance of the second cabin alleys. When she saw Voegel's peril she dashed into the whirling waters and seized him just in time to save him from going overboard. Miss Winsted is seven feet tall and weighs 210 pounds. She is so tall that it was necessary to procure a bus to convey her from the pier to her hotel, an ordinary cab being too small to admit her. Sudden Snap. "And here," shouted the stentorian-voiced moving-picture man, "we have a series of views representing Secretary Taft asleep in a hammock in fair Japan." "Just then a flaw line darted across the film. "Lands, Hiram!" gasped an old lady in the gallery. "What was that?" "Don't ask so many questions, Sarah," replied her husband. "I guess that's where the hammock broke."
