First Anniversary 9m Busy Cash Store.
AReyolution

Since the opening of this Busy
Store there has been a revolution
in the retail business in this section
AT first the old time dealers laugh
ed and said we wouldn't last long.
They talked of short weights, poor
goods and bankruptcy, but We did
last and to their establishment the
business prospered and grew larger
Daily, Weekly, Monthly it con-
tinued to grow, until now in one
years time it exceeds all others in
magnitude and with few except
ions does as much as any six other
stores combined. Instead of sell
ing few barrels of Sugar. Mol
lasses and Crackers a month we
sell hundreds, yes! Hundreds, and
it is fact that there is not
single ware house in Paw Paw
that will hold our surplus empty
Barrels.

considering the question of getting e
better living at less cost and she is try
ing all sorts of experiments. The most
successful of these seems to be CO.
operative housekeeping, experience
having proved that if a clearinghouse
keeper can clear a comfortable living
out of eight or ten boarders then 1t IS
clear that each of these bOarders be-
sides supporting herself is contrlbut-
ing an eighth of the clearinghouse
keepers own living, an eighth which
she may as well have for herself.
In New York and Boston a great
many woman have taken up co-opera-
tive housekeeping Among the shop
girls of both cities there are many
groups of girls, ranging from hVe 10
ten in number, who lease or own their
home and live together upon a coop
erative basis. In Boston eight girls
have a home of this class in the SUI
burbs They use a parlor, drawing
room and dining room in common
while each has her own bedroom on
the second or third floor. They keep
servant and buy everything for cash.
One day each week one of the girls
either takes her MONDAY recess, or else
an early hour in the morning, to pur-
chase the household supplies. The cost
Of living, including food, fuel, gas, ice
and service, is divided into eight parts.
The accommodations of the house are
graded and assessed by the girls joint
ly. A large room on the second floor
costs so cents a week more than the
one on the third floor, 20 cents more
than small room on the second, ana
so cents more than one on the third.
They have the morning papers, the
weeklies, the monthly magazines, dress
neatly, and are very happy, yet the
wages earned by the eight are not large.

1t seems a pity that so charming a
garment as the tea gown should not
be worn to a greater extent, but the
dishabille effect which is essential to
its perfection perforce relegates it to
assemblages where only women are
present, and it's field of usefulness is,
therefore, very limited. For the bust
ness woman, however, when her days
work is done, nothing more delightful
can be imagined, and her wardrobe US
ually includes one of these gowns.
Now and then she even wears Z when
entertaining informally a male friend,
although he must, of course, % quite
an intimate friend of the family to per-
NIT her to do So
One of these gowns is so charming
that its owner may be forgiven If she
does invent excuses that make 4 i'm
perative for her to don the garment.

with a double vatican plat falling
from the neck to the short trair. The
front is open and reveals the fill vest
of deep coral lawn, slashed with two
rows of yellow lace insertion above the
waist line. A full, accordion plated
fiounce of the same lawn, edSed with
lace, falls over the shoulders and is
gathered into two rosettes on top of the

a pompadour effect at the sides ans on
top being given by waving the hair
and drawing in softly back. Fortu-
nately this style is becoming TO almost
any ons, for there are all sorts of mod
ifications that can be made to suit the
particular type of face. The old-time
pompadour that was stiff and ugly is
not seen. If the forehead is very high
the fullness of the hair is pulled for
ward a little and tiny curl or two
on each temple are allowed.
While for most occasions the figure
eight and soft puffs placed at graceful
angle are still the favOrite styles, many
smart women are to be seen with
regular chignon worn quite low at the
back of the head and covered with a
net. This is a very untidy fashion,
and it is earnestly to be hoped it will
not become popular For evening the
hair is dressed high on the mead, ar
ranged in a soft full knob or puffs;
braids are not considered in good form
for an evening couture. A pretty but
trying style is the Lucien, so called,
which consists of the hair being waved
over the head. Just at the crown of the
head is a small knob from which stand
out two minute curls. This style at its
worst has been seen and been tabooed;
at its best it is charming.

Japenese Simplicity.

A traveller in Japan has remarked
the perfect serenity and sweetness or
expression of the japanese women and
attributes it largely to their freedom
from care. The unchanging fashion OK
dress, the simplicity of their diet, the
absence of draperies and small orna-
ments in the houses, the practice CT
removing the shoes before entering the
house, so that the dust of the street Is
not brought in, make it possible to
maintain an exquisite cleanliness and
still have the work Of Housekeeping
reduced to a minimum. We are harc-
ly ready to adopt the Japanese man
ner of life. but We may surely learn
lesson from it, We must have fewer
things to keep clean, we must simplify
our manner of life We must learn the
easiest way of doing things; we must
avail ourselves of all real cOnveniences
possible. If more of the teachers OF
cooking would spend time in finding
out how to obtain the best results with
the least labor, rather than in concoct-
ing new recipes, a real benefit would
be conferred upon the housekeeper.-

than to the outside show of her gowns.
The fashionable woman of today wears
as few undergarments as possible,
wishing to cucumber and conceal the
lines of her figure no more than is
necessary. A light wool or silk under
shirt, a pair of fine cambria Knockers,

embroidery, for a short skirt, are all

Miss Anna T. Hargis of Louisville,
KY. a college graduate, now engaged in
personally directing the business OF
aer fathers farm Of over 200 acres, up
on which she has expended much time
and money in developing a special
breed of pigs to supply the increasing
demand for Kentucky cured hams.
These precious porkers receive the
kindest care, are fed upon sterilized
milk, meal and apples till they acquire
the special standard in weight to kill
in order that the hams shall be of a
uniform size and quality They are
specially cured and carefully cooked on
the premises il the old Kentucky home

Hints on Bodices.

Skirts OF gray or white wool, espe-
cially those of white WOOL will be
popular during the season. They will
be worn with taffeta waists, made up
without any trimming, save tucked
Jokes and lower sleeves. Bright cOlors
will be wOrn-red, blue and all the var
ious shades of pink. A novel bodice to
be worn with a white wool skirt is of
ehina-blue taffeta. The entire body of
the garment is shirred at one-inch in
tervals, and the sleeve, with the ex-
ception of the upper portion, is SINH
larly made. Short basque skirts fall
below the belt, which is very broad and
fitted, of a deeper shade of blue in vel
vet. With the bodice is worn a stock
collar of taffeta lace frills falling over
the top. The usual collar. however,
will have no frills, but will be laid
plainly Of taffeta. Belts will be Of vel
vet, ribbon, metal and leather. The
prettiest are of ribbon, put twice
around the waist and tied in a long
bow at the side. New waists for house
and promenade no longer fasten on the
side. The true surplice effect is car
ried out on some, but the great idea
of the season is the Russian blouse.
This blouse has much braiding and
other trimming. Well it is for women
that prosperity is in sight, for much
money will be needed for the trimming
CT the gown of the coming season.

arms. The sleeves are tight fitting and
lace-trimmed at the wrist.
The collar, of course, as is natural
Ia this kind of gown, is high, with
frills of lace tumbling over IL in the
back.
Many tea gowns are made Of accor-
dion-plaited chiffon and worn over a
silk slip, They have pretty ribbon col
lars and belts formed of a double row
of ribbon with the perpendicular bow

sim person. The corset cover has been
altogether discarded. In lieu of it, the
chemise is often made with an over
hanging point front and back. which
cover the corset. Over the corset and
chemise is worn a silk or alpaca petit
coat and the undergarments are com
plete.
The daintiest and freshest morning
gowns, especially when intended for
trosseau. are of white null, trimmed
with delicate ribbons of satin and lace.
The most fetching have broad collar
cites and full sleeves gathered in at the
wrist.

What a Woman Says About Trunk
when a woman tells you trunk is
light. look out for it," These are the
words Of a baggage expressman and he
ought to know He had gone to
house in the suburbs in response to
hurry call and found the house in
great hustle. This lady was going to
leave town in an hour and her trunk
was upstairs and had to be brought
down and loaded into the wagon. It's
not very heavy" she said to the man,
whereat he spat on his hands and call
ed in his helper He had all he could
do to lift one end.
1--WE found it always the case" said
he. that when a woman says trunk
is light it's dead sure to be heavy, and
when she says it's heavy I can usually
handle it with one hand. don't know
why a woman is this way unless she
thinks 1 charge her more for a heavy
trunk. and will never find out how
much it weighs unless she tells me.
But if that is so, why does she tell me
that a light trunk is so heavy? III

Jennie, you can have your company

"Rich folks don't need it," said Jim
ME, we've got enough for ALL"
Then Jennie put down her pride and
turned to the woman: please" she
said, we've got too much for our
selves. Uncle is so generous. Won't
you help us eat it up?"
The woman hesitated; her face turn
ed red; at first she seemed about to re-
fuse then she altered her mind. you
are very kind, Miss she said. "Pat-
sey is a little pig, and l never thought
to bring more than bit of bread. He'll
be glad of a cake, bless you" Then
Jennie smiled, and taking some paper
divided all the nice things into four
portions, and turned the chair so that
they could all use it for a table. The
boy ate as only a hungry boy could.
At first the poor woman would not take
anything, but Jennie was so polite that
she took her share after a while, and
said: ut is really a refreshment, little
Miss and Master, and you're very kind
to offer it, and Patsey is as much oblig-
ed as I am, though he doesn't say what
he ought"
Jennie was very glad she had taken
Jimmie's advice, and did not mind at
all when Sara Brown, a girl she went
to school with, passed and looked at
them contemptuously, saying to her
sister, "How queer of Jennie Bright to
pick up such company. I shan't speak
to her. Why, those folks are almost
beggars."
When Uncle Jack came and took the
children away, he said civil word to
the woman, told her her boy was
pretty little chap, and hoped the baby
would get well soon. Moreover, he
sent the waiter to her with cup OF
coffee and a plate of clans. "The sort
of victuals she needs" he said to Jen-

when British and American battle

of war might as well be manifested in re-
spect to the pursuits of peace, play in the
way of pleasure crafts racing for the
laudable objects of supremdy in marine
sport. The fact, too, thai the Philadel-
phians are meeting English players in our
great national game in most fair and
pleasant rivalry, and that the oarsnen of
tho United States are bring heartily well
coined to our rowing waters should GER
tainly testify that yachting could have
been removed from the unenviable dis
