THE Low NECK GOWN.

IsbeI A. Mallon In Ladies' Home Journal.
should like to make the women
of America understand that there Is
no daytime occasion elaborate enough
to permit OF low bodice. Whether
it be introducing daughter into So
ciety, whether it be giving an after
noon dance, an elaborate tea, indeed,
no matter what the affair may be, a
low bodice is always bad form. The
fact that the Queen of England forces
her ladies to appear at court in low
bodices is a subject OF modification
to many Of them, and of great laugh
ter to those arbiters OF fashion, the
French, who would never think Of
making such mistake as displaying
even the round of the throat before
dark. For that reason a French
bride's gown is always high. Women
of good taste understand this, and
would as soon expect to wear low
bodice, or have an afternoon gown
cut low, as they would to see their
men visitors appear in dress clothes.
You may cite number Of women
who do Il, but no matter who those
women may be they are making ar
absolute mistake in dressing, and 9
mistake that is as crude as possible

WEDDINGS BEFORE BALLOTS.

From the Atchison Globe.
Last night, at the suffrage meeting
in the Park Place school house, the
speaker advertised did not appear
The principal address was delivered
by Mrs. Ruth Durgan, of this city,
who said she was sorry to see by the
papers that John J. Ingalls, had said
in a speech at Fredonia that he did
not believe in suffrage because his
wife and his daughters did not want
to vote. Commenting on this Mrs.
Durgan said that If Mr.. Ingalls,
daughters had to work, and make
shirts at six cents dozen, as some
a%te a%ers tse Rasg adj,' tEssyy isas Miafh
advise him differently. "For my
part" the speaker added, ~ couldn't
make a shirt a week." Miss Con-
stance Ingalls, was in the audience
accompanied by ]. G. Cremer. 81
should like to add as one OF the
daughters of the gentleman men
toned" she said, rising to her feet,
"that you have given his family a
rather unjust dig. Inasmuch as you
have already confessed that you
could not make shirt in week,
want you to know that during the
past week have made four dresses" "
The speaker Of the evening said she
only quoted what Mr.. ingalls, was
reported as saying, whereupon Mr..
Cremer sprang to his feet and said
that she had given the impression
that members of the Ingalls, family
did not know how to work, and were
not charitable, which was not the
case. Mrs. Durgan replied that she
did not want any one to fee
aggrieved, and that she would moi
have mentioned the matte, had she
known that Miss ingalls, was present
81 am glad that I am present." sale
Miss Ingalls,, taking the floor again
"to defend the family. l would like
to vote, but am not old enough
This statement attracted grea
applause. Miss Ingalls, was thei
invited to become secretary OF thu
local suffrage association, but replie'
that it was not an opportune time 70
her to engage in politics, as tn
family had a wedding on hand tina
was taking most of her time.

WILD POTATOES IN MAINE.

From the Lewiston Journal.
A gentleman who claims to know
declares there is a flavor in the pota-
toes that are raised in the clearings
in the Maine backwoods not to be
found in those growing in the open
regions. 1t is 10 him like the wild
flavor of venison as compared with
tame meats. Whether from the
frost laden fragrance of the atmos-
phere or from the new soil the quail
ity comes he knows not, but he thinks
as much of getting his wild potatoes
when he goes a hunting as his game;
and he hopes the legislature will put
no close time on them.

HOUSEKEEPING ECONOMY.

Found in the Fulton Deaf Mute Record.
Has it ever occurred to the real
young housekeeper-the little bride
just starting out for herself-to
establish a system of saving and OF
setting down every cent she spends?
The one fits iuto the other most
admirably, the latter being rare
incentive toward the former. You
see, when the money goes helter
skelter and you find the family
purse depleted, you arc bound to
declare that you have either lost
some or goodly amount has been
picked from your pocket. This is
seldom the case, as you will discover
directly you get into the habit of
jotting down the outgoes, even from
the immaterial purchase Of glass
Of soda. 1t is the five-cent- items
that run off with the money. OF
course you can remember about the
Ave dollar bill that you spent, but
when the little account dimes
and nickels are allowed to go by the
borrd the first thing you know there
is a great hole in the income and yor
wonder how in the world it evel
come about. Old housekeepers al
well as young ones can profit by thii
advice. Another idea that has pro
duced goodly bank account for I
certain wise young housekeeper is tt
determine on saving something eaci
week II 1t is only one dollar. Thi
can be done II determination is onl.
brought to bear upon it. Neve
spend more than fourth Of you
income for house rent II you woul'
show wisdom and pave the wa,
toward future prosperity. The tim
to save is when you are young. Lik
all other habits 1t cannot be broke
, or acquired in old age, and whe
! once you begin the snow balls ro
: up so swiftly that you realize full
, that a penny saved 10 equal to tw
t earned.

FACTS ABOUT PENSIONS.

FACTS ABOUT PENSIONS.
The report of Commissioner of
Pensions Lochren for the fiscal year
ended June 80, has been submitted
to the secretary of the interior. 1t
gives the number of pensioners on
the roll June 80, 1898, as 866,0l2
and declares that during the year
80, ,0S5 new pensioners were added,
37,951 were dropped for death and
other causes, and 1908 previously
dropped restored. The number of
pensioners June 80 was $50, ,594.
The number of pension certificates
issued during the year was so, 113,
and 1872, 1873 claims of all classes were
rejected. July l there were undis-
posed of and in different stages of
preparation 619,O claims for PEN
sions or for increases, of which
287, 200 claims, original, widows and
dependent, were on behalf of per-
sons not already on the rolls.
The amount paid in pensions dur
ing the year was $l39, ,so4 ,46l, leav-
ing a balance in the treasury Of
$25, ,205,713 of the appropriation.
Much dishonesty and fraud, mainly
attributable to unscrupulous claim
agents, was uncovered, and there
were 1914 convictions in the United
States causes for pension frauds,
perjuries and forgeries.

MISSOURI KNIGHTS OF pyrHrAs.

MISSOURI KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs.
The Missouri Grand Lodge,
Knights Of Pythias, in session at
Excelsior Springs, named their Off :
GERS; Grand chancellor, ]. w.
Frink, Of Springfield; grand vice
chancellor, @. P. Rebald, St. Joseph +,
grand prelate, Rev. j. Gierlow, of
st. Louis; grand keeper of records
and seals, J. H. Holmes, of st..
Louis; grand master OF exchequer,
Adam Theis, Of Hannibal; grand
master at arms, DR.. w. T. Ramis-
ton, OF Cape Girardeau; grand inner
guard, J. B. Thomas, Willow Springs !;
grand outer guard, Leo Keller, of
Lexington.
The first snag in the proceedings
was struck when the proposed
amendment was reached abolishing
the present system OF having a dis
trict deputy grand chancellor for
each lodge, and in lieu thereof, d.
viding the state into nine districts,
with special deputy over each.
The matter was discussed, and re
suited in retaining the laws OF 1892
in regard to district deputies, which
is the one in force at the present
time.
The amendment proposed to
change the time of the annual ses-
sions from October to June was
overwhelmingly defeated, as, also,
was the proposition to reduce the
mileage OF representatives from 4c
to &c per mile,
The constitutional amendment
making it necessary for candidate
for subordinate lodge officer to have
his dues paid to the beginning of
the semi annual term in which he
would assume his Office IL elected,
was stricken out, as it was found to
be in conflict with the supreme lodge.
Another amendment which caused
lengthy discussion was the PROPOSE
ton to compel the financial officers
of all subordinate lodges to furnish
a bond in surety company, and
resulted in the retention of the pres
ent law, which allows each lodge to
determine the character of the bond
to be furnished by its officers.
The Rathbone Sisters elected these
officers: Miss Vena r. Halmer, of
st. Louis, grand chief; Mrs. L. A.
Farley, of Kansas City, grand senior;
Mrs. Emma j. Taylor, Of Marshall.
Mo-, grand junior; Mrs. j. l..
Schneigler, of Hannibal, general
manager; Mrs. M. E. Rea, Of st.
Louis, grand mistress of records and
correspondence; Mrs. w. L.Wheeler,
of Kansas City, grand mistress of
finance; Mrs. Raymond, Of Spring.

THE WEEK ABROAD.


several weeks prior, the press has
found little in foreign circles to
comment upon except the eastern
war and the condition of the Car
and as to both topics the "news''
has been but little more than rumors
of the most vague and unsatisfactory
character, nearly every positive
statement of any apparent Importance
being followed by denials or irrecon-
cilable counterstatements.
One fact, however, is clear. The
week has witnessed a decided and
unmistakable revulsion in public
opinion as to the prospect that the
Chinese Empire is about to suffer
practical annihilation at the hands OF
its island foe. Japan has not followed
up her victories at Ping Yang and
Yalu with any such vigorous onslaught
as she was expected to make; winter
is at hand and the campaign must
speedily be brought to close /;
China's best ally is time, and time
may do much to repair China's
somewhat shattered fortunes before
the Japanese can take the field and
the sea again next spring. Thus the
argument runs, and the conclusion
drawn is that the Japanese successes
in the engagements already reported
are far from fatal to China. 1t is
admitted that, both politically and
financially, China has been consider
ably demoralized by the unforeseen
powers and skill of the Japanese,
but it is denied that the government
is on the verge of collapse, or con-
templates an ignominious surrender
to Japan. Thus the matter stands,
and thus the interested, observant,
but uninformed outside world will
reason until something decisive
occurs.
Talk of European Intervention to
end the war has also subsidized. How
much basis there was for the reports
of attempted or intended interven-
tion, either by Italy acting for the
Triple Alliance or by new quadru-
pie alliance composed of England,
Russia, France and Germany, is not
known outside of official circles, but
if any such attempts have been seri-
ously made they appear to have come
to naught. The rumor is that the
United States had been invited to join
the four European powers and that
the United States declined the irui
traditional policy of avoiding entau-
Cling foreign alliances and because it
deemed such proposed, intervention
unwarranted.
The parliamentary election in Bel
gium last Sunday, the first under the
new law providing for universal suf-
frage and plural and compulsory vot-
ing, resulted in a considerable victory
for the clerical and socialist parties
and corresponding defeat for the
Moderate Liberals. The German
ministers are considering the pro-
posed repressive- measures against
anarchists. Notwithstanding the re-
cent reports of impending trouble in
Brazil, it is now stated that the indi-
cations are that President Peixoto
will retire peaceably from Office at
the close of his constitutional term
and that President elect Moraes will
succeed him without turmoil or op-
position,

shades. When the lining is made,
sprinkle sachet powder literally in
the cotton, and add, from time to
time, sachet bags containing the
same perfume. s
In olden times ladies made their
own perfume. Why not now? 1t is
a dainty chemistry for women, and
the results are so satisfactory.
Formulas for sachet powder, which
viii meet every requirement in that
line, are given below. 9
Violet sachet is made by mixing
two pounds Of powdered forentine
orris root with pound of rose
petals, pound Of cassia flower heads,
a pound of black currant leaves, a
fourth of a drachm of altar OF
almonds, and half pound of pow
dered gum benzoline. Mix well~end-
sift. Let the powder stand in tight
glass jar for week before using.
Lavender is delicious perfume
for linen closet. For this take
pound Of dried lavender, pound of
rose leaves, half pound of closely
crushed orris roofs, two ounces of
cinnamon and pound of dry table
salt. Keep in an air tight jar two
weeks before using.
Rose sachet powder is made of
a pound Of petals of any rose
preferred, half pound of ground
sandal wood and a fourth of
an ounce of altar of roses. Keep
week before using.
For heliotrope powder take half
pound Of orris root, one quarter of
pound Of ground rose leaves, two
ounces of powdered Tonquin bean,
one ounce of vanilla bean, two drops
of altar of almonds. Mix by sitting
coarse sieve. This is very
delicate for a sachet powder and may
be used in the wardrobe or linen
closet.

Attention has been drawn to the
superior advantages of Missouri,
especially of the southwest, during
the drought which last summer
played havoc with the crops of
Nebraska and South Dakota. Thous-
ands of farmers with their families
have come into the state during the
past few weeks in white topped
wagons, all looking for a more kindly
region in which they may escape the
disaster which so often overwhelms
them in the states named. Reports
from all the towns of southwest
Missouri indicate a large influx of
industrious and useful citizens who
will help develop the resources of
that section.
