The white Fad.

White is the one great fad of the
season, and the fad demands that the
gown, cloak or wrap shall be of fine
broadcloth covered with rich and heavy
lace, this either dead white or cream.
String and ecru are also employed
where the shade of the gown makes
them suitable. On light gray the ecru
lace shows beautifully, and the string
color also finds its proper place. All
mat white lace and gowns are also seen
sometimes, but the beauty of the lace is
not shown so well as where there is
slight difference in the shade. The New
York horse show presented to us the
fashion of wearing white in every case
where it can be worn, and it is now
used in many places for which it is
manifestly unsuitable. Many women
On the street seem so overdressed and

DON T SCOLD THE CHILD BEFORE COMPANY
or pride should be appealed to. Punish
the child. but make your punishment a
logical one Never punish without ex-
planning.
Children, even the tiniest ones, are
more capable of reasoning than we give
them credit for being If your child is
bad tempered, selfish or a story teller,
in nine cases out of ten it is your own
fault. II you had taken these faults in
their very beginnings, when the child
was perhaps mere baby, you would
not have to keep correcting him now
and devising new forms Of punishment.
The trouble with the average mother is
that she waits until the child is t'old
enough to understand. When the
child is old enough to show signs of A
fault, then he is old enough to be re-
strained from committing that fault
and to be helped to that end in the kind
est and most patient of ways.
Very few children need heroic han
ding, but all need watchful and con-
slant care, together with advice suited
to their small understandings. Never,
If possible, break chiid's spirit or
pride. Do not seold or reprove him in
the presence of company. Speak to him
quietly afterward.
Above all, be just in your treatment
of the little ones. Let your mo- be a
..No" and your eyes a eyes," and do
not let circumstances or the presence Of
other people make you relax your laws
Once the child realizes that you cannot
be coaxed or fretted into giving in, he
will resign himself to the situation, par
ticularly if you have made the justice
Of your position clear to him.
By using reason and kindness, mixed
with a proper amount of firmness, no
mother need have naughty children"

The Monte Carlo coats continue to
be well liked, and they are dressy.
But for the rough stuffs the two piect.
blouse suit is the best style. Hats
seem to have grown fiatter than ever,
but somehow they all manage to re-
main quite as becoming as ever.
Toques of dress material are undenia-
bly, stylish and not so very econom-
ical as one might think, for though
the body of the hat is made of the
pieces of stuff left over it requires a
master hand to make a toque look we'll
and some fine trimming must be found
to go on, though probably 1t will look
as though it did not cost much. Still
the toque has reason to be, and that
is that whole suit of anything is the
vogue. One toque was made OF nub
cloth as to crown and brim, though this
last was almost hidden under a thick
wreath of velvet autumn leaves. The
effect was rich and seasonable.

HER FIRST 500.

What the Delightful Creature Did
with 1t After Much Advice.
How she acquired it it does not really
matter- possibly by teaching school,
painting fire screens or washing. Any
way when she found herself in posses
sion of the sum she set about to see
what she could do with it.
Certain amiable friends told her it
would be very nice to buy some new
dresses, hats, gloves, shoes and such.
But she had a full assortment and
didn't require anything of the sort. An
aunt told her to invest it in a certain
telegraph stock that would bring in
good interest.
"But l want my hundred dollars all
to myself, you know"
"Poor, foolish dear, it will all be
yours, just the same. You can use the
interest just the same. / know where
you can draw-why, per cent"
what? That is only Sc year!
Six dollars is awfully small by the
side of this I'm going to count it
again. Maybe some of it is gone"
The very thought of such thing made
the little creature chatter. For the
tenth time that day she sat down and
counted the talismanic roll of bills
four twenties, one ten and two fives.
1t was all right, and her pulse re-
sumed its normal beat. Suddenly she
gave a little Shrek of delight and
jumped up and cried

''Child, what are you talking about|
Talking about finance, auntie. I'm
going to make this stingy little roll into
big one. 1t doesn't show off at all.''
"You are queer, dear"
"I'm going to get it all in five dollar
bills. / think the pictures on the fives
are ever so much prettier." Life seemed
more rosy after the delightful creature
possessed twenty nice, crisp fivers. She
counted and recounted them when an
other fancy came.
I'm tired looking at these common
bills. They don't jingle and ring. I'm
going to get five nice, clean, new twen-
ty dollar goIdpieces." No sooner was
it said than DONE The table rang for
two days as she tossed the bright vel
low pieces about like jack stones. Even
then she wasn't quite happy. The lit
tie pile Of twenty dollar yellow boys
looked so small. Then she secuted
about and got together 100 silver dol
lars She polished every one daily and
played with them. Next she got 200
fifty cent pieces. But life was still an
aching void. She at last owned 500
in twenty-five cent coins. Srsely she
must be satisfied now. But, 40; she
broke into one of the quarters. felt dis
couraged after that and was quite un-
like her old self until she found one
little nickel left. the very last coin of
the hundred dollars that had caused
her so much trouble. = Philadelphia

which fond memories could twine, and
their large ancestral attics were filled
to overfiowing with what Rosa signif-
icantly called sheaps of plunder," the
accumulations of several generations
of Dawsons, Pelhams and Gaynors and
the reapings of many Christmas har-
vests.
They rushed on, growing more and
more sick at heart as they met here
and there among the throng friends
who dwelt within the circle of Christ

lawn, out of the tumult of their souls
rose a bubble of pride that, awful as it
was, the girls had displayed their usu,

Under the linden tree sat Hepsibah,
the cashier, with a goodly pile of mon
ey before her. Patrolling the grounds
and keeping an eye on each grinning
negro in charge of the heaps of goods,
which had been carefully assorted,
classified and grouped around the trees,
walked Susannah, the general mana
ger.
The mothers had been too long I'M
der the yoke to make a scene, but as
they walked from one ancestral tree to
another and read the gorgeous placards
tackled to the trunks their emotions
were many and deep:
''Shoemakers' tools used by Great

"Great-grandmothe Pelham's we'd

the lawns and shook hands in solemn

BULLETS AS EVIDENCE.
Odd Facts Developed by Their Prom
inence In Murder Trials.

Odd Facts Developed by Their Prom
inence In Murder Trials.
The important part played in many
murder trials by fiattened and mis-
shapen bit of lead or steel, once in the
form of a bullet, often leads to the de-
yelopment of some curious facts. says
the Baltimore American. A leaden bull
let will lose appreciably in weight by
being fired. and the form of the barrel
may tend TO reduce its size. In a rife
some of the lead is taken off by the
grooves. The friction also heats and
tends to partially melt the outside of
the bail, and because of this it changes
its shape in the air.
One peculiar fact about a bullet Is
that it will very often make wound of
entry smaller than the projectile itself
even in SO brittle a substance as glass.
Another strange fact about bullet is
that il will often pass through inter
vening clothing. making hole that can
hardly be noticed, and yet carry on its
point circular piece of cloth. The car
rying of bits of clothing, hair OF dirt In
to wounds in such a manner greatly
enhances the dangers of peritonitis.
Were it not for this latter contact the
bullet would not be nearly SO danger
Gus, as it's rapid fight and heating
make 1t practically sterile.
Blackened edges of wounds are more
likely to have been caused by lead
bullet, although the ball with lead tip
could also produce this result. Regard
ing powder stains, smokeless or other
wise, nothing of great value is to be
gained when the shooting occurs at a
distance greater than twelve or fifteen
feet. At a recent trial a doctor stated
that from powder marks on the face
he judged that the shot had been fired.

feet, which conclusion was later backed

nj IN ON. REED SMOOT Of Utah,
apostle and prophet of the Nor
mons, is giving Republicans In
general and President Roose-
velt in particular a bad turn. Reed
aspires to be a senator of the United
States and with senators to stand. He
has heard of the cushioned curule
chairs, the morocco covered lounges,
the Persian rugs, the lemonade, the
free BARRIERS and the other gimcracks
in which the members Of the house Of
the ancients luxuriate, and Reed han
kers after them even as the hearts of
the Israelites yearned for the fleshpots
of Egypt. What's more, Reed is going
to possess them. He will on March 4,
at high noon, become United States
senatOr-a Republican at that. The
president may gnash his teeth and
rage like Gagged ion-Reed defies him,
goes on counting his majority and is
arranging to take up his residence in
Washington for six years. And Reed
is right in claiming his pound of flesh.
He and his brother apostles and proph-
cts carried out their part of the con-
tract with the Republican national
leaders to turn the state over to the
Republicans on condition that the Nor
mons should have things their own
way and not be disturbed. Reed has
them on the hip, and he knows it; con-
sequently he pays about as much at
tention to the messages of President
Roosevelt and other high and mighty
functionaries demonstrating against
his election as a full feathered duck
would to gentle April shower.
1t will be delightful to see the Re
publican hypocrites In the senate
squirm when Brother Smoot walks
down the big aisle on the arm of Mar
Gus A. Hanna to be sworn in as con-
script father. Those bogus propagan-
dists of purity and sweetness have been
exploiting their own virtues for, 10,
these many years, standing on the
street corners, shifting their breasts,
rolling their eyes to heaven and thank
ing God fervently and vociferously
that they are not as other men. Now
they must fraternize openly with
Apostle Reed Smoot, for Reed controls
two senatorships, one representative
in congress and three presidential elect
ors. He knows his power. They have
him on their hands. He Is not to be
sneezed at. Publicly they must lionize
Smoot They can cuss him under their
breath.
