'.. gil, Dressy Enough.


Alpaca Is Conceded to Be Cool and Quite
'.. gig Dressy Enough.
At this season of the year ! always
get fit of longing for somewhere else
anywhere that is not the same place
that have seen all winter, and think
nine out of every ten women know feel
the same way. Now, what to wear
when the fit comes on, and the grip is
to be packed for the brief outing that
brings you home refreshed and better
satisfied with yourself and your be-
longings. You want to look we'll, the
home gowns are out of the question,
the real summer ones too dressy, so
that there should be costume de-
signed especially to suit the occasion.
OF course there Is always the shirt
waist, but there are women unfortu-
nate enough to look but i'll in them,
and SO they are not to be considered.
Alpaca is conceded to be cool, and Is SO
if made up properly, with not too heavy
Innings. 1t has splendid qualities to
recommend it for travelling, because
it sheds the dust and does not soil read
lily. ......... ..... .-.
A smart gown of mode-tinted alpaca,
with a finish as glossy as silk, is made
into an attractive gown that can be
worn equally well for shopping or Wis
iting. The spreading skirt is as plain
as possible, but has an interlining of
mode tinted silk and lot of silk dust
ruflles as q ,set-off.
The bodice is round and drawn at the
waist by the narrowest of belts in liz
ard-green kid, with a small oval kid
buckle. A narrow pointed waist of
black satin set in at the throat is fn-
ished by crushed stock of black satin,
with enormous pointed ears standing at
each side. Broad lace in butter tint Ia
draped artistically over the tops of the
bouffant sleeves and along the edge OF
the vest to point at the waist.
With this gown are worn mode-tinted
gloves, heavily stitched with black, and
a small capote of coarse black braid,
trimmed simply with smart bow Of
black satin ribbon directly in the front.
There are patent leather boots and Eng
lish CATERS of mode-tinted cloth to
match the gown.
AS model this pretty gown will
serve admirably for the purpose spoken
of, and look not too smart on boats and
trains also. Appropriate dressing Is
the secret of charming appearance,
and nowhere and at no time is it more
desired than when the runaway feeling
takes possession of you.-Philadelph
Times.

ever, entirely by the party by which
nomination Is to be made.
In one of these two ways delegates
are chosen to represent the primary
political divisions the ward in city,
the town or township in the country
in the state and congressional district
conventions. From this point the in
dividual vote has no further share in the
choice of candidates.
The district convention usually con-
fines itself to the choice of two delegates
and two alternates TO the national con-
yention. Sometimes, nevertheless, 1t
votes a resolution, or a series Of resolu-
tons, concerning the principal public
questions at issue. Not infrequently it
also names the candidates for congress,
for members Of the house of representa-
tives are always elected in "presiden-
tial year."
The state convention names four del
egates and four alternates. The en-
tire delegation Of n state in the national
convention is equal to the number of it's
senator's and representatives in con-
gress multiplied by two. A comprehen-
sive statement of the party's principles
and policies is also an invariable part of
the programme. Such pronounce
ment in one state, however, usually diff
fers in more or less essential respects
from similar utterances in other states,
and is always of interest as indicating
the views of the candidate whose sup
porters are in control.
Either the district or the state con-
vention may, II it choose, instruct its
delegates TO vote for particular candi-
date, or for a special plank" as the
phrase is, in the platform of the ma
tional convention. Whatever instruc-
tions are given or the delegates left free
to exercise their discretion is usually de-
termined by state precedents; but
sometimes instructions are withheld be-
cause there is not clear majority for
any one candidate.
When the great national conventions
assemble, temporary president desig-
mated by the national committee takes
the chair; but after that everything Ia
in the hands of the delegates. The
method of nominating candidates and
of constructing the platform" is too
well known to require description.
In the democratic convention a two
thirds vote is required to make nonl-
ination. In all other parties major
ity vote Is sufficient.
All this elaborate machinery is
deemed necessary for naming each
candidate for the presidency. When
we remember that multitudes of other
candidates for other Offices are named
annually, the Importance of the nom
mating convention Is apparent. Ithas
taken years to perfect the system. Not
until 1910 was the plan of holding na-
tional conventions generally adopted.
1t is criticised by foreigners as giving
an advantage to professional poll
ticians, since its perplexity is somewhat
confusing to the individual voter. In
the primaries, however, which lie at
the base of the whole, the individual
voters have the means of controlling
party policies and candidates. David
Dudley Field, the eminent reformer,
was fond of declaring: 1.-THE primary
is the pivot of reform. Com
panion.

Hawk Caught by n Fish.

The fish hawk will catch and carry
off four-poIlnd fish without any great
difficulty, and nothing less than a
charge of shot will make him let go.
But the fish hawk sometimes gets
caught himself. An old coastman re-
lates that he once saw big hawk, with
a four-foot spread of wings, that was
sailing along Monmouth beach. Sud-
denly he made dive and fixed his claws
in a fish's back. 1t was a 3o-pound
striped bass, and much heavier than
the hawk could carry away. Then he
would have let go, but he could not free
his claws, nor could the fish break away.
So they struggled in the water until
both were dead.

THE TWINS.

Idontseewhy and IthinkImight .

And their chief delight is sitting on
The lids of Robbie's eyes
When things so wrong, as they often do,
To boy OF Robbie's height.
But the twins sleep sound In the Land OF

When all goes smooth and right.
For smiles give chills and dimples, pain,
Rob's laughter pricks like pins; fH
And shouts of glee are misery AZ
To these peculiar twins.

When Rob. with sleepy frown, tfNa
Gets out the wrong side OF the bed
And comes meandering down, q. ...-. a u
But the twins are first In the breakfast
Ell room,
And when they see the boy
They climb the lids of two brown eyes
And dangle their feet In Joy
AT scowl they kick. at a whimper grin.
A sulk Is greatest glee;
And they dance and prance Mt such pace
That Rob can hardly see. ..

A Remarkable French Girl

Mile. Jeane Penaben, young French
woman, is in some respects the most re-
markable person OF her sex In Europe.
She is now but 1s years old, yet two
years ago she received the degree of
bachelor of arts from one Of the most
famous colleges of France. She then
became professor of philosophy in a
woman's college at Lyons, and this year
was candidate at the Sorbonne for the
important degree OF licentiate in philos-
ophy. She emerged from an extraordi-
narily severe examination third out OF
200 candidates She amazed the exam
liners by her erudition and serene COM
posture throughout the trying ordeal.

who have never mastered the details of
the machinery by which nominations

nomination of a presidential candidate.
the primary election is the first. In
towns and cities it is caucus, or as
sembly of the voters of one party, all Of
whom in theory have the right to at
tend and vote. In some states the caucus
is regulated by state laws; in others 10
is left to party usage and presidents.
In general, it is understood that those
only who expectto support the party's
candidates can honorably take part in
the proceedings, and sometimes those
only whose names are enrolled on a
carefully kept list of recognized menu
bers of the party are allowed to vote.
In some parts of the country, par
ticularly the sparsely settled regions,
instead Of the caucus there is n regular
election, with ballot-boxes and inspec-
tors in each precinct, conducted, how

III UNEXPECTED ANSWER.



The Teachers Last Attempt to show
Tommy ON In Public.

first primary grade in the public schools

lesson in physiology on Friday after
moons and to illustrate the lesson from
large chart. Among mypupils was a
small boy called Tommy, who was al
most an innocent" Teachers had
laborcd long and faithfully with him,
but nothing had ever seemed to inter
est him in the least. He would only
come occasionally, but l noticed that
on "chart day." as the children called
it, Tommy was always there. He loved
that chart and his admiration for the
hideous pictures on it knew no bounds.
One Friday our lesson concerned the
head and brain. Knowing Tommy's
love for the pictures placed him where
he could get good view of the chart
and tried long and hard to impress upon
him that his head contained his brain. I

A Convenient Yeast

Take two cakes of good dry yeast and
dissolve them in teacup of tepid water.
Scald three tablespoonfuls of -four, add
one-half cup of sugar, two-thirds cup
OF salt. Boil IL large potatoes in two
quarts of water, adding enough to have
that amount. When done mash them
fine, and add to them two more quarts
of warm water, the scalded -four, sugar
and salt. When the mixture Is barely
warm add the dissolved yeast Stand it
in warm place for IL hours, then bot
tie. This should make a quantity SUI
ficient to fill five quart fruit jars, and
should be at once placed in a cool, dark
place. To make your bread, take one
jar of yeast in the morning, work 1t
moderately stiff with some -four, and
set to rise in warm sheltered place.
1t will usually be ready to bake by noon.

Where We Differ from England.

"Any man of an observant turn who
visits England can't help but notice the
different ways they have from the peo-
pie of this country in the construction
of houses, bridges, vehicles, and inn
plements of every kind" said DIR. c. L.

Yankee farmer doesn't want a ma
chine that will wear a quarter of a
century, for he knows that in two or
three years a greatly improved one Will
be on the market, and his implement
will be obsolete. The English seem to
take no account of this, and whatever
they build is for generation. In this
way they have been distanced in many
lines of manufacturing by their Amer

BURIED IN A TREE.
a Curious Mausoleum Recently Discov-

cred In Sake Altenbure. ......
One of the most curious mausoleums
In the world was discovered recently
In IN orchard at the village CT NoeD-
denitz, in saxe-Altenburg. A gigantic
eak tree, which a storm had robbed
Of its crown, was up for public auc-
ton. Among the bidders happened TO
be Baron Won Thummel, scion OF
family of ancient lineage that has
given the world of literature one
charming poet and the fatherland
many distinguished statesmen. The
baron, who lives on a neighboring es'
tate, had ridden to the auction place
quite accidentally. Finally the tree
was knocked down to him for 200
marks. Upon his arrival at tbs castle
he told an old servant OF his purchase,
describing the tree and its situation.
The Gid SERVANT SAID he remembered
attending the funeral of Baron Thum-
mel 10 or 80 years ago, and that tho
body had been buried in thousand
year-old oak, belonging tc the parson-
age. Investigation clearly proved that
the orchard had once been the proper
ty of the village church, and that az
enc side Of the old oak was an iron
shutter, rusty and time-worn, that the
people of the town had always sup.
posed to have been placed there by
some Joker or mischievous boys. The
iron shutter proved to be the gate to
the mausoleum of Baron Hans vii
helm Won Thummel, at one time minis
ter of the state of Saxe-Altenburg, who
died in 1924, and wished to be buried
"in the thousand-year-old tree he loved
80 WELL" In the hollow of the tree
Earon Hans caused to be built a sep
ulchrc OF solid masonry, large enough
to accommodate his coffin. The coffin
was placed there, as the church records
show, on March 3, 1924, and the opening
was closed by an iron CRATE. In the
course of time a wall of wood grew
over the opening, which had been en-
larged to admit the coffin and the work
men, and for many years it has been
completely shut, thus removing the
last vestige of the odd use to which
the old tree had been put. The tree
has still some life in it, and its rich
verdure is only now turning violet
tint. The coffin in which Baron Hans
reposes has on one side grown to the
t-ee, the dead and the live wood joining
together in eternal embrace.-Public
