Avoid Drudgery.

Domestic virtues are all very WE'LL
but they should not be allowed to
bring wrinkles to women's faces and
to spoil the good tempers which are
normally given to all women. 1t is
absurd that broken china plate
should be allowed to create a day of
tears and general disagreeableness for
the whole family circle of sensible
home. 1t is women who allow their
little household matters to assume the
proportions of mountains who have
turned their housewifely cares into
drudgery in so many cases and made
mere abiding places out Of what should
have been happy homes.

The Well Groomed Girl.

Neatness in dress is the main charac-
teristic Of well groomed girl. She
gives attention to details of attire.
She is aware that torn facings, ripped
skirt bindings, spotted garments, loose
or missing buttons, open placket holes,
pins where hooks should be, unpublished
shoes, soiled or wornout gloves, untidy
linen, rumpled ribbons and belts out of
place cooperate in making a bad i'm
preston. Good clothes react on the
mind The knowledge that one is in
good form and correctly attired changes
ones whole bearing and gives one a
poise impossible to shabby or untidy
persons. Some shrewd observer has
remarked that the consciousness of be-
ing well dressed imparts blissfulness
to the human heart that religion is
powerless to bestow.

A Warning to taxpayers.

The present deplorable condition of
the finances of Halle township school
district should serve as a warning for
years to come to the taxpayers of every
school district in the coal field. Here is
township which is one OF the wealth
lest in the state, yet it is burdened with
bonded debt that has reached the very
limit allowed by law, while its floating
Indebtedness, in the form of wages due
for teaching purposes, amounts to
thousands OF dollars.
Half dozen years ago Halle was able
to meet every obligation when due, but
under the guise of reforming certain
abuses that had crept into the school
district affairs the management Of its
finances and partly that of the schools
was turned over to the organization
known as the Taxpayers Association.
This clique, responsible to no one but
the corporations which own the bulk Of
property in the township, began its
campaign of reform by pairing down the
property to a point from which the
revenue derived was insufficient to meet
the expenses required by law, and the
condition Of the district has steadily
been sinking until today it is practically
bankrupt municipality.
The board last evening took steps to
untangle the coils with which the town
ship has been bound by the Taxpayers
Association and it has authorized its
proval for a plan which will give back
to the directors the free and unframed
led right to manage the schools without
interference from the assessment-parers
who have caused its plight.
The lesson to be learned from Halle
townships experience is this: That the
public schools and their control should
never be permitted to be dominated,
nor should directors allow themselves
to be Influenced, by organizations whose
object OF existence is to enable its spon-
sors to escape paying their just proper
tion of taxes.
The schools belong to all the people,
and it will be sorry day for any dis
trict which is so short-sighted as to al
low their management to be controlled
by others than the duly elected repre-
sentatives of the people.

The soldiers Last March.

Why is 1t that the most solemn serv-
ice ever devised by man, the stately
hush of the vast cathedral, the impos-
ing robes, the stained glass windows,
the pealing organ, all fade into insig-
nificance beside that soul stirring, sim
pie act-the trumpeting out of taps
over the body of dead soldier? No
man who has ever heard it, either on
the field of battle. at the quiet army
post or in the haven of these weak and
shattered units of the Grand Army of
the Republic, ever forgets it. For the
bugle notes seem to take into their own
all embracing cadence the tears, the
memories, the shattered hopes and the
long farewell. = John II. Rathom In

The directions for airing beds given
in a domestic training school are worth
noting. Place two chairs with seats
together near an open window. Fold
the counterpane neatly the long way
and lay over the tops of the chairs, al
lowing the middle to sag down to the
seats. Fold the blankets next and
place over the counterpane, allowing a
space between each for the circulation
of air. Proceed in the same way with
the rest of the bedclothing. Beat up
the pillows and place them where they
will get the air.

linen, etc This stands for another

became complex, we began to be-
grudge the time necessary for ironing.
and sometimes, if we thought we could
use our time more profitably than in
ironing, we used our clothes trough

of trough dried clothes, because hy-
gienists have told us that articles
which contain in their meshes fresh
summed air are more healthful than
those which contain the impure air of
kitchen or laundry. They have told
us, also, that because air is a poor con-
ductor of heat and because clothes
which have not been pressed contain
more air than those which have we

To dress in harmony with complex
ion comes naturally to some women.
By others it has been or can be ac-
quired. A brunette generally looks
well in cream color, for she has repro
duced the tinting of her skin in her
dress. Women who have rather fiorid
compilations look well in various shades
of plum and heliotrope, also in certain
shades Of dove gray, for to trained
eye this color has a tinge of pink
which harmonlzes with the flesh of the
face. Blends look fairer and younger
in dead black, like that of wool goods
or velvet, while brunettes require the
sheen Of satin or gloss of silk in order
to wear black to advantage. A woman
who has a neutral tinted complexion,
with eyes of blue gray, is never more
becomingly dressed than in the blue
shades in which gray is mixed.

Plain Women's Power.

Plain women have been powers from
the earliest times. They have swayed
kingdoms and ruled kings They have
been loved. The plain woman has
some advantages over her beautiful
slster-when she is beloved ii is for Il
lifetime 1t is for qualities that endear
rather than luster of eye, color of hair
and daintiness of complexion that do
not endure. They are certainly loved
for themselves and are not at pains to
preserve a certain appearance in order
to retain love. 1t is also a fact that
plain women are, as rule, more clever
than pretty ones. This may be due to
the fact that the pretty woman is alb
sorbed in the consciousness of a pretty
face and neglects her general appear
ance. She is apt to think that a pretty
face covers multitude Of sins by max
ing up for all other deficiencies. Ugly
women can always look "chic" and
well groomed and as dress Is of more
importance than face she makes the
most Of this fact and leaves nothing I'M
done in point of style and department.
She is apt to look more fetching than
the pretty one because she is uncon-
scious of her features. This lends an
air of naturalness and certain
amount of charm.
The woman who has style is always
attractive, be her features what they
may, and she can always count on a
certain amount of attention.
