How would You Have said 1ts

There is much in the way thing is
said. "Your cheeks are like roses"
said Aunt Flora when Lois came in
from a January walk, glowing from
the cold and exercise. Lois smiled
and looked lovingly at Aunt Flora.
Aunt Margaret entered the room a
minute later and glancing at Lois as
she stood by the fire said: MY! Your
face is as red as beet"
The red grew deeper on Lois face,
while unconsciously she turned petu-
lantly away from Aunt Margaret, who
prides herself on being plain spoken"
Aunt Flora's way Is best. She can
say the right word at the right time,
too even the word of admonition and
reproof, but she says 1t In such 4 man
ner that one can think only OF the
Scriptural ''apples of gold in pictures
OF silver."-Ada G. Sweet In Woman's

A Fad From Far Japan.

"Ko-Kwsi" is quite the fad of tho

Arnold tells that the Japanese have a
pretty way OF entertaining. the hostess
giving her guests number OF dainty
bottles. containing different perfumes.
and the lucky ladies who can guess the
proper names OF the scents receive
prizes. All that comes to us from the
Orient has charm OF its own. What

OF the odors. At party given Thurs

During the last two or three days
the names OF several United States
senators have been mentioned In con-

the Republicans called caucus OF

was the first to attend the meeting.
As the senators began to gather they
expressed surprise at the presence OF
the president. but he did not seem
to notice this. and finally had to be
told that only senators could attend
caucuses. and that. as vice-president
and presiding officer OF the senate. he
was not expected to attend party

THE war tax has its drawbacks- re-

ers who hired great bodies of men. A

suing small checks told me frankly
that in the old days, when il was nee
essary to face each check with A 2-cent
internal revenue stamp. he made as
few checks as possible The war tax
having included bank checks, the habit
of issuing small checks has practically
been discontinued. That's why | say
the tax is a blessing in disguise. It Is
not profitable to issue checks for small
sums
There is still another reason why
we now see fewer checks for small
amounts. Expert bank men declare
that the simplest check to raise Is the
one calling for an amount below SO.
The percentage OF raised checks is six
ty-fiye on sums below SO. Another
reason for the opposition to small
checks Is that they bother the bank au-
thorities. Some banking institutions
will cast out a patrons account should
he persist in making small checks. The
cheapening of the registry of letters is
another reason for the suppression OF
small checks"

INDIA GRASS CLOTH

Is Being Used for summer Upholstery.
In early summer, when the first
warm days bring desire to Danish
heavy draperies and carpets. plush and
wooden cushions and everything that
has the slightest suggestion of STUN

most priced fabrics. II not only looks
cool. but II is so. II Is not as expen-
siye as 1t appears. 1t Is excellent for
pillow and cushion coverings and for
covering couches. chairs and the tops
OF tables. It comes In stripes OF many
varieties, colored In the satisfactory
Oriental fashion, and is adaptable to
almost any kind OF wood. although II
looks particularly we'll with the green

come in all grades, from the coarse.
cheap sort that are effective for certain
purposes. to the finest varieties. are
popular for summer furnishings.

other countries.in none has the cop
