FLAGS FOR PORTO RICO.

lesson of independence day to young and
government are that by the end of the
year the flag will be as familiar a sight
in the towns and villages of the Philip

The order of the government calls for
Tags of all sizes-small ones that the
school children can wave from windows or

homes, and large flags TO float from flag

house will have a complete outfit of the
national flag. There will be fags FOR the
pupils, a flag to drape above the teacher S

The purpose of the government at Wash

island devoted TO educational purposes,
that patriotism may be instilled in the
minds of the pupils by sight as well as

Teachers from Porto Rico who visited
Washington and the other Eastern cities
last fall were all advocates Of the plan TO
make the flag a familiar sight in the
island. They asserted that the moral ef-
feet would be helpful and arouse a pa
triotic enthusiasm in the minds of the
children. The educators advised that the
display of flags would create in the chill
dren an interest in and love OF their new
country that would do much toward weld
ing the two lands together.

are under way for the placing OF a large
order of flags for the Philippines. The

from three TO five tons TO begin with. and

The wedding was. upon the whole, an ar
tistic success.
The bride. particularly. evinced unmis-
taxable talent. She trembled with all the
technical accuracy OF an aspen leaf, and the
emotional intensity OF a startled fawn. Her
trembling, indeed, was irreproachable. II
she cast down her eyes with something OF
amateurish gawkishness the fact is easily
attributable 10 her ine-xperience-this being
her first w~edding-rather than to an essen
TALLY defective method.
She was fairly well supported.

The style in Stationery.

Some people use one kind of writing
paper from years end to years end,
regardless Of the changes of fashion,
but the majority like to keep up to
the times In this as in everything else.
Fashions change in writing paper, en-
craving, ETC., as In everything else.
For instance, year or so ago the
square envelope was used exclusively
and the oblong one looked very old
fashioned indeed. Now, the positions
are reversed; the only stylish envelope
is oblong and the square shape quite
passe. Two sizes of oblong envelope
are de rigueur-one, the smaller, for
notes, iseabout three inches wide and
five long. The larger style, for letters
and mostly used by men for all their
correspondence, is about three and
three-quarter inches wide by five and
three-quarter long. This difference Of
