The Law.

The law is the final expression
Of the people, regulating human
conduct. It is in effect an agree
ment of the members of society,
|all promising to be bound by it.
Ut is solemn compact made by
levery man with every other man,
to live up to 1t.
The officers are elected only to
see that this agreement is kept.
Every man therefore, who delib~
erstely breaks the law is falsi-
fysr and IN unfair dealer. He wants
other men to live up to himself.
He opposes the will of the people
and regards his desire as more
important than the will Of all So
ciety.
The law is besides the restraint t
Of the powerful, the protection of
the weak against the strong.
It 10 the binding together of the
many weak against the strong.
Every time the law is broken
it strengthens the aggressions of
the powerful and weakens the
government of the masses.
No one should encourage law

Homemaking.

There is an ocean of difference between
housekeeping and homemaking. One is a
business, the other is an art Many women
make great successes In the business who
fail absolutely in the art. Their houses are
perfectly kept; every department is run
with care and exactness; there is never
failure to meet demand But 1t is not
home.
A home exists for the comfort, happiness
and health of the family. There is no de-
partment of housekeeping that is not made
to yield to the needs of any member There
is never crisis of temper If a meal Is late
or the convenience of a member demands a
change in the hour. A few minutes-yes
even number Of minutes-spent in kindly
converse in the morning, the call of a
Trend or the sudden desire for an hours
outing never seems to the homemaker a
violation of the moral code. Dust does not
cause a nightmare or disorder display
which love and charity agree to call nery-
BUSINESS.
Not things, but souls, are the objects OF
the nomemaker's care. She values peace
more than system. happiness more than
reguiarfty, content more than work accom-
plished.
Yet with it all her home when she touches
perfection is the essence of regularity n
is this that makes homemakng an art.

The Saving Women.

FROM the Philadelphia Ledger.
If we are to believe the old proyerb
which says that savings good earning"
then the earning capacity of women al
ways has been greater than that of men.
Oh, the saving women of this world!
The women who sit up late making over
last seasons clothes to save buying new
ones; the women who steathily tiptoe
across the floor to turn down the gas when
papa dozes over his newspaper: the wo-
men who darn huge holes In bas<etfuls of
stockings; the women who have a cracked
teapot or old pocket book into which they
drop stray dimes and quarters, taking the
accumulation to the savings bank with
guilty secrecy: the women who wash out
pieces of carpet to make them appear fresh
and new who turn the trimmings on their
hats and clean their gloves with gasoline,
and cut down the clothes of Willie, aged
fourteen, to fit Jimmie, aged ten. Bless
them. every one,
There is another sort OF saving which
might properly be termed boarding. III

of any kind. The really short skirt that

them trail.
Anent the useful walking frock, one or
the incest and newest materials for coat
and skirt costume is a plaid-patterned can
vas At first glance it appears to be
tweed of light weight. but on closer tnspec-
ton it proves itself ideal summer fabric
with a very practical dust-ressting surface.
just the thing for morning wear or for
travel A blue and green plaid is extremely
smart for this purpose. This summer the
coat and skirt costume is recognized as
applicable to any material.
A graceful skirt of muslin with bolero
of the same fabric worn over French
linen batiste of pale blue or pink makes
a fetching costume The bolero. with ever
varying blouse slips has a distinct advan-
tage over a fixed and permanent bodice.
and in these days of incessant comings and
goings ''variousness'' in dress is an advan-
tage we cannot afford to overlook.
Another skirt maker for some time has
been constructing his models so that they
may be adapted either as a fitted-up bodice
or to admit of different slips. In his tailor
costumes he gives blouse coats or boleros
such a cunningly clever build that they
may be worn in summer with slip or
merely as chemisettes. l am inclined to put
this spreading of the coat and skirt type
down to the popularity of the high belt.
This delightful fashioner is introducing
another frock novelty in the monster buc-
kles he is placing on Wristbands. Many of
these are six inches high and four inches
wide. To have a waist buckle of this de-
scrption on your tailor made will give
delightfully."- chic touch not to be despised.
