"THANK YOU"
Et Is the Small Courtesies That Make Idea
 Worth Living.

Kt Is the Small Courtesies That Mako fJes
 Worth Living.
 "On every hand one hears of the neg. lect to say Thank you, writes Ed ward W. Box on 'sThe Saying of Thank You, , in The Ladies Home Journal 1T wonder sometimes if some people really know how little of what comea to them is their due and right and how much of what comes to them is by ia. yor and courtesy. The vast majority os things winch come to us come by purp favor, by courtesy. And we should re6- ognize this. No act of kindness, how ever slight, should go unnoticed. "A Thank you is D simple thing to say. l. requires but few moments to write it, but it often means much. 1t means ev erything sometimes to the person re- ceiving it. It means a renewed faith in human nature in some cases. A word of thanks is never lost, never wasted. If it sometimes seems to be lost upon the person to whom 1t Is directed, is expression has not been lost upon sona one else who has heard it. It Is certain ly not lost upon ourselves. The most Og us are quick enough to thank some oAa who does us great service. But tho small courtesy, just as great as the large service Ill reality, we overlook. Il doesn' t seem worth while to give thanks for small things And yet what would we be today and where would some uR us be but for the small eourtesies o9 life? They are what make life worth living
 "It is all very we'll to have the lass Thursday of each November set apart as day of Thanksgiving but it would be far better if great many of Us car ried the spirit of the day into all the other days. Perhaps if we did so w8 might have more mereies to be thank ful for on Thanksgiving day Do nos let the spirit of thanks stop with night fall on Thanksgiving day Let LIS ex- tend it to all the other days of tho year. to the people whose lives touch ours When we receive favor at the bands of any one, no matter how small it may be, let us say the words, Thank you. If they should be written. let us write them. Let us not delay them, but taks advantage of the instant when our hears is touched Let there be more Thank yous' said by eyerybody-thousands os them. And the world will be better. brighter and happier place to live in because of them.

Our Women Teachers.

Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer, in @ brilliant talk at the Congregational club dinner in Brooklyn. told of the opinion about us expressed last summer by a Berlin college professor. "I will give you 25 years to last, <" he said, and when Mrs. Palmer begged him for lit- tie additional time he consented to name 30 years, but was sure the republic would cease to exist long before then. His reasons were convincing to himself You have," he said, universal suf- frage" tby which, of course, he meant universal among mem. 4The great ma jority of young men who come to be your masters are turned out into tho world with only grammar school edu- cation, and that education, he finish ed, making his climax indescribably scornful, ''is got almost entirely from women teachers. Mrs. Palmer took the incident as q text for graceful and elo- quent little discourse on these same women teachers.

AfN Garters In PIaids.

Garte1s have come out in Roman stripes and plaids iiKe everything else. The new garter buoKle Is four leaf clover under a crystal like those which both men and women have been wearing for watch charms and chatelaines.
 The sentiment against round garters is growing stronger as the athletic in terest spreads. It is simply impossible to endure the stoppage of circulation when one is taking violent exercise. Hence the up and down style grows in favor. Folks who have buckles intended for the round style can put them on the strap just above the fork of the garter.
 A striped pair of this. kind has a rosette of RomaL stripe ribbon where the garter forks, and tho straps which form the fork are also made of ribbon A four leaf clover gold buckle is set on above the rosette, and the clasps which fasten to the stocking are also of gold. The same style may be had with silver buckles and clasps for $35

Trimmed aud Trained Skirts.

The fact Is well established now tIiat long trailing skirts are to be worn with house gowns By house gowns are meant evening gowns, reception gowns or any gowns suited for house wear. As yet we have not gone back to long skirts for street wear, although even walking gowns have the skirts long enough to require holding up in the street Many ot the long skirts are extremely graceful. There is one style which is made with very little goring, fitting quite sheath like, With the fullness laid in small plaits, but cut to flare out at the end of the train. h soft silks. satins, poplins and cashmeses this is very attractive, for the lines are so graceful. The plain look Is broken by bands of trimming either down the seams or around the foot or else with patterns of embroidery and cut work put on the front breadth. There is evidently an intention of re- storing drapery, for some very smart skirts have the front and side breadths long enough to allow of draping just a little back of the hip and showing q glimpse of an underpetticoat of differ ent material. This is becoming style Of skirt and looks especially well when the back breadths are long enough to train. Harper Bazar.

Enok Cover DesIcne rs.

One reason given for tie success Of women as designers of book covers is their quick appreciation of the appropri ateness of design and material for the context of the book to be covered. They do not, for instance, ,.clothe the thoughts of Marcus Aurelius in pink and gold, although certain mystics believe pink to be the soul color Nor do they believe that Democracy Triumphant should wear dress of purple flags. It is the artistic consistency they manage in thei completion of Q dainty volume thai makes their work popular. At tho Phil- adelphia School of Design the girls are given q subject once week-tnt5 title of some b0ok-for which a cover is to be made. The most successful designers of the books named last weess --"The Queens Of England, "Kipgas and Queens of Scotland, '' .'fhe Bonnia5 Brier Bush'' and Poems were made by Miss Theodora M Anderson Miss Anna B. Kraus, Miss Mary S Graid, Miss Marie A. Morton, Miss Eva Cham. bers, Miss Maud Mueller and Miss Edna V. Free The designs were made in the colors in which they would be Tepro- duced, and one was drawn on the cloth which could be used, which is said to be a better way for insuring tho exact repetition of design, us the binder may not always be able to match tEe color ill the paper model.
 1t is said this industry has increased rapidly since Archibald Leighton in 1922 introduced the cloth binding prod- uct as now known. New York Tribana

4 GREAT ADVOCATE.
soos Stories of George Wood. Lawysz
 of Many Years Ago.

of Many Years Ago.
 There are still some members of ths New York bar who remember Georga Wood, the contemporary of Daniel Lord, Ogden Hoffman, William Kent, James F. Brady and other distinguish. ed lawyers of many years ago. The yen- erable Benjamin D. Silliman has de- scribed George Wood as being eonspic- uous for his great learning, his wonder ful power ill stating his cases and his mathematical power il argument Hd was a great advocate Frederic R. Cou. dert some time ago told the following story of Mr. Wood: "I can remember, looking back to early boyhoed, that ven. eI.,ble figure and recall speaking to one of his contemporaries about him. The person to whom l spoke said. Yes, 8 client of mine got an opinion from George Wood once. We'll, I said. 'how was 1t done, how much did he charger for even ill those early days the professional instinct asserted itself. I will tell you, my friend replied. My client went to him and said "Mr Wood, would like to have your opin- ion on these papers. J s'Give mo the pa- pers and come back tomorrow, said tho great lawyer. The papers were produced and the client departed The next day he presented himself before Mr. Wood, and the latter said, Fifty dollars, !" and notbing more. The client was in telhgent and assumed that he should pay him that sum, which he did. After waiting awhile he asked, "yyhat about my papers, Mr. Wood?' "They are not worth q d-n, replied Mr Wood. and he made no further comment oa the case ,
 David Dudley Field used to relate the following: George Wood was tue personiication of logic and cold as marble I was sitting beside him in court one day when he arose to argue a case, and as he arose his coattails caught the back of the chair and hung over it. Wood stood up and spoke, should think for fully two hours, but never once did those coattails move.
 "On one occasion young lawyer who had engaged George Wood to try 8 case was asked, How did the judge charge the jpry?' Oh, George Wood charged the jury. was the reply. "-- New York Times.

NUT TTREES.
Plant the Nuts, and the Trees VIII Crow
 After Awhile.

Plant the Nuts, and the Trees VIII Grow
 After Awhile.
 The age at which any nut trees come to the trees Some authorities state that 15 or 20 years are necessary to bring them into full bearing from the time the nut is planted. This is a mistake, as trees that have been we'll cared foI should hear bushel of nuts in ten years, and the quantity will increase rapidly each year after that time.
 Some persons may enjoy raising these trees from seed. To be sure it is rather a sl NV process, but it. is interesting work. When planting the nuts, if they have thin shells be perfectly sure that they have not dried out at all. The best plan is to get them as soon as they ripen and plant them at once. When this is not possible. keep them in moist sand or in sawdust until they can be started. Butternuts, walruts, hickory nuts and ilberts, being hard shelled, will keep in growing condition much longer, but should be planted in the fall, as they germinate better wnen allowed to freeze, as that cracks the shell.
 The fall planting is natures own plan, and the nearer we follow her ways the better results we may expect. AR other thing, do not plant the nuts deep Nature drops them on the surface and gives them thick covering of leaves in which the dirt catches as it blows about then the snow covers all and helps the leaves to decay and form 3 covering Of leaf mold for the tree to grow in.
 It is not practicable for any of us to try to raise all these kinds of nuts, but select the ones most likely to succeed ip our climate, and by proper care and at- tention make a success of 1t. We faay not reap the benefit of cur labors, but our children will and theirs after them Wick Magazine.
