A GROWING EVIL.

Putting aside the personality Of the par ties concerned in the disgraceful scene on East Main street last Thursday night. the subject itself and the causes which led up to it are well worthy a little reflection on the part of people who believe in the sane tity of the marriage bond and the building up and maintaining of a healthy atmos- phere in the homes of the American pee. pie. That this business of alternating the affections of the wife or husband of another person. which seems to be grow ing to an alarming extent in this commit nifty, should merit the condo emnation of every honest mind. is something which no one possessing even semblance of re- spect fer himself or for the well being of society, would dare to deny. Nor is it the road to reform for the people to rise en m lsse and wreak vengeance on the heads of those who happen to be unfortunate enougb to be convicted of this heinous crime.
 To remove thIs stain, for such it can rightfully be termed. as far as it possibly can be done It behooves men and women of d higher sense of morality to speak out boldly and fearlessly against the growing evil, which is fast eating into the morals of the people and threatens to undermine the very foundation stone on which rests all that is grand and noble in the human flmily-all that renders man superior to the members of the brute creation and lifts him above the common animal as a social and intellectual being. Admittedly one of the most degrading vices to which the hu- man family ia heir to. it is strange that so- eIlled reformers of other vices by no means as disgusting to decent people or as demoralizing to society. rarely ever turn their attention to the subject, and if they do the matt is made light of and the guilty parties are too often spoken of as victims of passion which they havo net been able to combat. Just so long as peo- pie look upon the wallowing in this vice as q minor offrnse, just so long will it con- tiDue to increase. and the man and woman who are bringing up family of boys and ! girls, and others who wish to live in m unSpOtted atmosphere. should set the seal of their condemnation on such yillainous doings. Some pee pie may say it is a mat ter that concerns the guilty parties orly. This is poor logic. It is something which concerns everybody. The words of Mayor KIlduff. at a meeting of one of the city boards when he brought case of thi: kind to tho notice of the members, should be TrInted in red letters and posted al every entrance to the city so that thos, who run might read. Ut is the duty" ht said. ''of the mayor of city to see that { vrecker of homes does not draw his sus tenance from the public treasury" It Ii extremely doubtful if it is just to permi such miscreants to draw their sustenanc, from any source outside the penitentiar,
 while they persist in wallowing in the filtl and nire of iniquity. It is humiliating tC
 honest manhood and womanho0d, too, tC
 be brought in contact with such character
 on the public thoroughfares. or be mad'
 subordinate to them in the factories.

Hints about your

The st, ,lish Sack Suit will be three button cutaway front and long enough to look like a frock coat. Double breasted Sack Suits will still be popular and have double breasted vests. Frock Suits with cutaway front will be worn more than usual, in fact bid fair to become more popu- lar than they have for some years, but be careful not to have them too long. the fine tailors are not cutting the skirts as long as some ready made manufacturers have While they are still cut long it is a neat medium length that is stylish when made to fit well.

The Eng Doll.

It IS an odd fact, but a true one, that the loveliest French creation from doll dom immediately loses favor in childish eyes once its charms find a rival in n homemade piece of ugliness known as a rag doll.
 It's something to be thankful for, too, this juvenile caprice, which paves the way for introduction into the nurs- cry of a whole family of "Belindas, |" Sarah James, ''or Susan Sweets that come straight from the piecebag.
 Here are some hints from Golden Days that will assist you in the fashion ing of one of these favorites of the play room:
 legs. Lay these on the table and draw the outline of the doll, all i'll one. Then cut it out, turn it on the wrong side and stitch on the machine, leaving it open from the shoulder up. This allows for the stuffing of hair or batting. The for mer gives more body to the doll. Stuff well, pumping out the figure even to 1 toes. When the head is smoothly filled. overland the edges with strong thread ! Then tho hair, either brown or yellow silk, may be added, and the eyes, brows, nose and mouth drawn with ink or pen ciL It is better not to place beads for eyes, as the child is likely to pull them off and swallow them.
 Try making n rag doll ill this way and see if it doesn't hold a more honor, ed place in the nursery realms than tho costliest bought toys.

There is little green card in use by
the post Office department that is a ter
ror to careless letter carriers. This
card is dropped in a letter box; on it is
marked the time when it should be
taken out. A record is kept at the Of
fee, and if that card does not turn up
when due, it is clearly to be seen that
the carrier has not taken the mail from
one box, at least. When there is any
complaint on the part of the citizens
about the tardiness of the local mails,
the tell-tale card is dropped in one or
more boxes in the district from which
the complaint comes. 1t is, however,
not necessary that there should be
complaints, for frequently the cards are
put in the boxes of efficient men. OF
course they are happy when they dis
cover them. When box is missed in
which there is a green card the carrier
is bound to get into trouble, and very
serious trouble at that. This card has
been in use for good many years in
all parts of the country.
