ODE .HdUenfures Of Harry R~e<'e1.

The Boots Were Mrs. Smiths.

Mrs. Smith and Miss Brown We're
once the bosomest of bosom friends.
In fact, Miss Brown was constant
visitor at the house Of Mrs. Smith.
She was staying with her as guest
one bitter cold frosty morning, and
the two were going for walk.
Miss Brown, ready first, stood warm
ing herself by the dining-room fire. ~
Dearest called Mrs. Smith from
upstairs, ':has Jane put my boots to
warm at the dining-room fire."
"No, darling" Miss Brown replied,
"yours are not here, but your hus-
bars are"
Presently Mrs. Smith entered the
room. evidently not in the sweetest of
tempers.
She viciously picked up the boots
from the render, and left the room
tossing her head.
Then it dawned upon Miss Brown
that she had made an awful blunder
and that the boots belonged to hel
hostess.-AnsWers.

OF d1stinctiveness puts OH mems ways
and apparel-and always to the disgust
OF the womanly girl and anything but
admiration to the opposite sex.
Ut course, the outdoor girl has and
Will ever have her enemies; but, as q
rule, the criticism comes from either
prudes or from other girls whose arti-
hc1al makeup would not admit Of any
violent form Of exercise. The prudish
people who rise in indignation have no
tenable argument to offer, and the lat
ter objectors would gladly follow suit,
it they could. So, there is really Moth
ing in the way of opinions for the
athletic girl to fear. This she knows,
so she goes her hygienic ways, reaping
q rich reward physically and mentally
for her outdoor exercise and pleasure.
Many Of the college trainers are doc
tors who are elated over the beneficial
and ever refining influence of athletics,
because it develops a girl along nor
NAL, healthful lines; and, unless car
ried to extremes, which is not often
the case, can bring nothing but good
results for the girl herself. When the
lungs are filled with fresh air and the
blood circulates as it should. it is in
deed benefcent means by which such
results can be obtained.
From a broad, logical standpoint the
athletic girl is the real girl, the type
Of perfect girlhood and the potential
mother of race physically and men,
tally sound.-American Queen.

HOW TO KEEP YOUNG.

Don't say that you haven't time to
rest. Take it, and renewed energy
thus gained will help you to pick up
quickly the dropped stitches in your
days work. A twenty minutes rest
with sleep if you can get it-every
afternoon will do more to prevent
wrinkles. and eradicate them, too, than
all the lotions and potions in the world.
Go to bed early and don't worry. Then
your face will lose some of its fine
lines, perhaps; at any rate, new ones
may have an uneasy feeling that they
are not wanted. Don't think about
growing old, or you will certainly add
years to your appearance. When a
woman reaches the age of forty, fifty
Or sixty she imagines she looks like
others Of the same age, who may have
had more than their share Of trouble
and sickness. AS surely as she thinks
so, she will become SO, for thought is
creative. Did not JOB say, 'The thing
which I greatly feared is come upon

The long-skirted coat predomlnates

All plain, dull, soft materials In silks
are successful and popular.
The wheel pattern is one Of the most
liked Of the new lace designs.
Fancy stripes and l,ongee are two
of the seasons favori les in coaching

Broad collars, with stole ends, are
the popular warm weather neckpleces
of the season.
Tassels at the ends and sides are the
latest addition to the universally-worn

The most fashionable leather belts
are of black patent leather or sort OF
ivory -colored white.
Black mousseline, in such direct con-
trast to the white craze, has mliady,s 8
favor for fancy gown.
One of the latest ideas for decorating
frocks consists of the use of printed
silk flowers as appliques.
Adjustable pearl buttons for shirt
waist use are in favor, as a secured
button loses it's lustre in laundering.
A ,founce of self-colored taffeta, IN
stead of the usual rosette, is the latest
addition to the handle of a coaching
parasol.
Fashion arbiters are predicting sue

owing to the prominence Of the cape

Stoles still continue a very important
fashion feature. and are made Of all

desirable of the advance showings OF

Give us men! s.asassss s.asasss
Fresh and free and frank:
Men of thought and reading,
Men of light and leading, G
Men of loyal breeding,
The nations welfare speeding:
Men of faith and not of fiction,
Men of lofty aim in action;
Give us men-I say again.
Give us men!
Give us men!
Strong and stalwart ones: -
Men whom highest hope inspires, ).
Men whom purest honor fires. - - :,
Men who trample self beneath them.
Men who make their, country wreath them

Worthy of their sires! =
Men who never shame their mothers.
Men who never fail their brothers.
True, however false are others;
Give us men!
Give us men-I say again,
Give us men!
Men, who, when the tempest gathers,
Grasp the standard of their fathers
In the thickest fight;
Men who strike for home and altar

LII OOC4L1 i f1ANDSdAhE,
Everybody shakes hands with some
body, but only people who are doing
so every day know the fashionable
hand shake.
The day Of the high hand shake is
past, and more graceful hand shake
is in vogue. The hand is extended from
the waist line, but not too far; but, as
one authority expresses it, with a
mere suggestion Of restraint" When
the hands meet there is a gentle move
ment to. the. right side Of the person
who extends the greeting, then back
to the original position, the hands un-
clasp and the ceremony is over. 1t is
much more refined and graceful than
the shoulder movement which charac-
terized last seasons fashion.-Wash-

TIE ATHLETIC GIRT,

she is SO. Both artists and poets have
pictured her as type OF young woman

THE NEW BAGS.

The hand bags are still with us, and
the new ones. are even daintier than
ever. One Of the smartest is of gun
metal with a fringe Of crystal. 1t
swings from the waist or is held in
the hand by string of pearls. A bag
the Parisians think particularly chic
is made Of bright red morocco leather
with gold mountings. 1t Is ridiculously
large, but is gay and attractivelooking,
and holds in a comfortable fashion a
quantity of small things, such as hand
kerchiefs, powder puhs and parcels.
On many Of the lightest and daintiest
parasols are to be found handles of
bog wood, both carved and plain, and
on the darker ones will be seen ex-
quisitely wrought ivory handles. The
old-fashioned carriage parasol OF
French or thread lace is again very
! fashionable, and it is quite worth ones
while to hunt around in the treasure
chest for anything it contains in this
line.
Extremely odd and pretty are the
long handles Of jet and those of steel.
Indeed, everything in the parasol king
dom is fascinatingly lovely this year.

FLOWERS ALWAYS SEASONABLE

FLOWERS ALWAYS SEASONABLE
It is understood that flowers of a
seasonable sort, and especially foliage
and fruits generally much reduced in
size-and berries, will be maintained
as fashionable trimmings right on
through the fall. Still, they have for
midable rivals in plumage Of different
sorts. Birds are already in much de-
mand. AS we have seen, birds ar
ranged so as to be quite fat are favor
able trimmings for plateaux, the new
sailors and other hats which have to
be trimmed low, and also for placing
underneath or against turned-up brims.
Many sorts Of birds are treated in this
way, including parrots and others with
bright-colored plumage, besides white
doves and white or palegray seabirds.
Small tropical birds are also shown
These are used in pairs, frequently to
fasten to the sides of rolled toques.
Quill feathers are likewise in much
request, as are also mephisto plumes;
but, whereas the former are preferred
by the best houses in their simple
form and plain but dyed in different
colors or glace tints, to suit the straw
shapes they are intended to trim, the
mephisto plumes are often of very
fanciful description and frequently
only feathers in name, being made of
stifened silk gauze covered with Jet
or colored sequins. Long-pointed
leaves made up in the same way. clus-
! tered over with black Or pearl sequins,
are sometimes introduced in garlands
of natural green foliage. On the other
| hand, green reeds and leaves shaped
| accordingly are now and again used
as substitutes for couteaux and me-
phisto plumes.-Military Trade Review.
