ing what might have been, for as has
become publicly known, both Colonel
Bryan and Mrs. Bryan were at first
opposed to their daughters wedding,
and, in fact, stoutly refused to give
their consent. But Miss Bryan inherits
the firmnessand strength of character
possessed by her father, and after vain
ly trying to get her parents onsent
boldly announced that with or without
it she was determined to marry the
man of her choice on the very day
she became her own mistress.
But the determination of the young
woman was not pu to the supreme
test. Both Colonel Bryan and his wife
relented, and after few more importu-
mites from their daughter and from
her fance, the parents decided that
they were not at all opposed to the
match and, intact, would gladly bestow
the parental blessing on the couple.
This is why Miss Bryan is so happy

Grows With City.

M. A. Nelson may be called one Of
the pioneers Of Spokane, having lived
here for over ID years. He has seen
the town grow from a mere burg to
a prosperous city of $4,000. As is quite
natural, Mr.. Nelson has kept pace
with the city's growth. For several
years he was with Mr.. Dunstan in the
mercantile business at the corner Of
Monroe and Spraeue, going from there
to the management of other institu-
tons. Now we see him manager of the
Nelson Dry Goods company, where for
years he had worked as a clerk. An
innovation is proposed at his store. On
the second floor rest rooms will be fit
ted up for ladies', and, beginning with
next Monday, out-of-town people may
drop in and be treated to a hot cup
of coffee, together with other delica-
cies, between the hours of 1l:30 and
2 Incidentally all will be shown a
complete line of dry goods that will fill
them with delight.

AT
THE DOG
SHOW

The first annual dog show of the
Spokane Kennel club opens at the In
terstate fair grounds on October 7 and
lasts until the 10th. Dog fanciers of
Spokane have every reason to believe
that the initial meet will come up to
the standards set by the coast cities, as
over LOO entries have been made in
the different classes. Associated as the
local club is with the Pacific Kennel
league, it has been able to bring from
the coast many handsome thoroughbred
dogs, that otherwise would not have
been exhibited here. 1t has also been
able to secure the services of +. Da-
vies of Dewdnoy, British Columbia, one
of the best known judges of dogs IN
the wesct. Local merchants have lihcr-
ally responded to the call for prizes
by donating over 25 handsome silver
trophies and cups, and the Interstate
fair has placed $500 in the hands of the
Kennel clubs management to defray
expenses.
The bench show will be held in a
large tent located to the south of the
main exposition building on the
Owners Of dogs that have entered are
requested to have their animals at the
tent on the morning of October 7. The
kennel club will look after the feeding,
bedding and care of the dogs during
the meet and return same to the own
ers after the close. For local owners
arrangements have been made with the
Washington Water Power company to
provide special car to take the dogs
to the fair grounds. This car will
leave the corner of Riverside avenue
and Howard street at o'clock on the
morning of the eth. and on board will
be competent attendants, who will re
ceive and be responsible for the dogs.

The George Washington Fad.

II George Washington could rise
from his resting place and view the
earth again he would find himself sud-
denly enjoying a popular revival. From
a national hero he Is transformed into
the American girls idol.
There have been all kinds of fads.
but certainly the George Washington
fad is the newest and incest of all.
1t is the most worthy and ennobling
of all the many fads that have crossed
the life OF the American girl, and so
instructive and elevating is it that
Instead of being called a piece of folly
it might be called a. bit of wisdom.
The George Washington fad has
struck the girl of today in several new
places. 1t comes in the form Of the
Ratchet, which is used as a paper
weight upon her pretty desk and which
she gives to her best fellow to use as
a paper weight upon his more Substau-
tfal one.
The Ratchet Is also used as a paper
knife and magazine cutter, and you see
the pretty girl of the season with fair
fingers grasping the eventful Ratchet
while she chops away upon the leaves
of her book.
The Ratchet also has place In deco
ratiye art and 1t is used as a wall orna-
ment. and also as a pole upon which
little scrap boxes and baskets are hung
and 1t comes in for other and even
more useful purposes.
You all remember how once upon q
time everybody had a board which was
called a keyboard. 1t consisted Of
pretty pole, about twelve inches long.
And upon it and screwed into It were
small hooks upon which little articles
were hung. These keyboards, social
ed, were sometimes very decorative.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-02-28

and the fad for them waged hot for a
time.
The Ratchet is now being used as a
Keyboard. 1t is hung upon the wall
and little brass hooks are screwed into
IT, small articles are hung upon these
hooks.
The Ratchet is also used as an artt
Gle OF brtc-a-brac, and its handle is
burned in poker patterns or is carved
In pretty scroll work. The business
part of the Ratchet Is painted. or a
very little fine work is done upon it
with engraving tools.
A very handsome Ratchet in posses
sion Of one of George Washington's
New Jersey descendants has his pic
ture done upon the blade in fine lines
with etching tools. There Is a wreath
OF laurel around the head The han
ole Is burned in poker work with a
scene from Mount Vernon.
In every smart girls den there is
now George Washington table. This
Is a colonial table with square ton
and turned" legs. 1t has small draw
ers underneath. The wood is white
pine, enameled by hand Upon the
top there are painted small pink roses
In stiff little bouquets, the kind that
george Washington used to love.
over this table there hangs a picture
OF George In massive gold frame.
ana IT IS the fad to have this picture
very small one, no larger than a sill
yer dollar, while around it there is a
Wide paper mat, and around this a flat
wIoe gold frame Of the old-fashioned
type. OFTEN an old frame can be
brought out and gildedr for the pur-
pose The room is lighted by can
dies.
Upon the table lies fhe Ratchet beau
TRULY decorated. And by its side

Think Of the people who at seventy,
seVenty-f1ve, eighty, and even ninety,
were in the full tide of vigorous USE
fulness.
THE talk about the delights of child
hood and youth is nonsense. There Is
suffering then, too, but in age we have
the solace of having suffered, and we
may find solace in the fruits of expert
ence. The browning beauty of youth
is that 1t is youth, but if apple and
peach trees bloomed all the year
around, what should we do for fruit?
Act we'll your part-there all the
honor lies" Mrs. Terhune continued,
speaking Of dress, and on that, she
said, depends more than a woman likes
to concede. But let us be honest with
ourselves. picture hat only calls
attention to the sparse hair, and a pink
waist emphasizes the fact that the ap-
pie blossom t1nts have faded. 1t is
better always to look like a we'll pre-
served old woman than a much damag-
ed old woman.
1.-The greatest aids to life are proper
food and proper exercise, with proper
sleep. A man of sixty three with the
step of a boy said: The price of sup
pleness is eternal exercise The enc
mics to life are rust and worry. You
combat rust with a hobby and by the
wisdom Of living one day at a time
you quiet worry winch aDSOrDS so
much Of the American vitality. You
have heard Of the old woman who
had three sets of glasses which she
called her fur OFFS her mediums,
and her nigh tools The last she
used to do her fine work and her read
ing and we need the nigh tools for
the work of old age.
THE period Of mature life is the most
productive, as it is the longest, pro-
vided the powers have not been over
taxed in incipiency. Up to forty years
old man or woman has been learn
ing how to live. Real life begins at
fOrty-six years and eight months. UD
to that time man Is pupil"

Women's Aid to Civil Service.

In Massachusetts the members of
the women's auxiliary of that modern
safeguarding. the Civil Service Reform
association, are bestirTing themselves
to create new branches in the smaller.
centralized districts outlying the large
cities. This aim al an increase in
membership is sought with the con-
NIctlon that an association strong nu-
merically is rightly CONSIDERED the sur
est Indication of a serious public opin-
ion.
The method which the auxiliary
takes for starting a branch is first ~
interest a few of the more active and
prominent women of a given locality
in the subject OF civil service reform.
Then, once these women are interested.
with their help and advice the neces-
sary officers are chosen and a larger
meeting is arranged, to which the
women of the community as a whole
are invited. Especial point is made
of inviting the high school pupils also
on the well tried principle that "the
child is father to the man"
The Massachusetts auxiliary, which
was formed just two years ago this
February, took it's example from the
already existing Women's auxiliary of
New York. It adopts, naturally, the
universal principle of the association.
that public office is a public trust, and
that admission to the civil service
should depend upon proved fitness.
Then, too, there is the loyal convic-
ton back Of it all that it is the duty
of every woman to aid the cause of
civil service reform by her personal in
huence. RS

Passing of the lara

# 1t is said in London the use of the
tiara will be abandoned entirely, and
that these mimic crowns will be con-
sidered bad form" after the London
season. This will cause woe in this
city, where so many women wear dia-
denis. Still many New Workers have
been wearing their tiaras on fewer -oc-
caslons this year than ever before, pre-
ferring something simpler than a bulky
crown. Mrs. Hildreth K Bloodgood
always has been admired for her dia-
mond stars that twinkle in a row. Mrs.
Edmund BayEes has new tiara Of
diamonds; set in platinum. with ex-
tremely high prongs, and Mrs. Ogden
GoeIet invariably wears tiara tipped
with magnificent pear shaped pearls
Mrs. Harry Lehr's Unusual headdress
is set off with a huge daisy of dia-
monds, and Mrs. Alfred Gwynne Van
derbilt has a antiqueh looking crown.
1t is said the Duchess of MARLBOROUGH
started the fad for simple hair orna-
ments, and that the Countess de Grew
has not worn a eOronet for two years.
Besides, the women who have become
rich. suddenly buy d diamond crown
on the first payment OF a dividend. and
this is enough to cause.-the death of any
fashion. EI1
