IF We Do Not Stop Using the Left Ear
Exclusively at the Telephone We Will
Some Day Lose the Use Of the Right,
and the Left Will Grow Proportions
ately Large.

You always hold your telephone re-
ceiver to your left ear, don It you9 Of
canrse you do. Not once in blue
moon does any one hold it to the right
ear. If one carefully alternated and
received every other message in the
right ear, there would be no danger
Of the Telephone ear.' This is the
latest danger that threatens civilized
mankind. There is no doubt that con-
slant exercise Of one muscle will make
it larger than unexercised muscles, and
the wise ones say that the same prin-
ciple applies to organs, and that if you
do not cease using the left ear exclu-
sively at the telephone it will soon be
out Of all proportion to the right ear,
The discussion was started by a
American. Elizabeth Parks, who spends
her time in London and says all man
ner Of unkind things Of her country
people. She has asked the Londoners
to look at our ears, and she makes the
prophecy that unless we occasionally
hold receiver to our right ears we
will not only lose the use Of it entirely
in time, but we will lose the ear as
well.
Gas the left ear is used exclusively
with the telephone, expect to see it

form Of the name was Rosendahl, val

century, a family took a rose for their
dents of part Of the country where
the flower grew, and were given the
name Rosen, de la Rose, or de Roos.
Other variations Of the name are
Roosevelt, Roswell, Rosawelt and van
Roosevelt.
The first of the name in this country
was Klaas Martenszen van Roosevelt,
who settled in New Amsterdam in 1860.
He came from Holland with his wife,
JannetZe.
About seventy-five years later one Of
his descendants, Jacobus Rosenvelt-
the van had been dropped from the
pame-bought ten lots in the Swamp,
New York city, and laid out the street &c
now called Roosevelt. He paid tlO
each for the lots, which measured 25x

T. DOUBLE SKIRT EFFECT.

In Paris the first week of October
ends the period Of uncertainty in re-
gard to the winter modes. The new
ideas and creations have all been
launched and approved OR disapproved
as the case may be. It is fully month
later when such comfortable surety set
ties down on New York. Imported
models have arrived by every steamer
for six or eight weeks back-indeed,
taneously with their exhibit in Paris.
The exclusive shops ? have exhibited
their carefully chosen models to their
even more carefully chosen clients; the
big department. stores have held "open-
ings.' But it remains for the horse
show to present the new season s styles
in actual use--worn by the wealthiest
and most critical of well dressed women
in this land Of the well dressed.
Dress to Be Seen.
What passes muster at the New York
horse show is safely assured season g
favor-often two. One-half the world
goes to be seen--the other half gladly
pays it's dollars for the privilege of the
seeing. And it is doubtful which en-
joys it the more. And the horse, oh!
the horse is the excuse for it all, you
know, and should be satisfied with his
position as stage setting for all this
fnery and beauty. = y -
what is to be worn. by the horse-sRow
girl-and a peep behind certain doors
gives plenty Of advance information.
Firstly, as to fabrics; they will be
lustrous and supple. Velvets and vel
veteens. easily take the lead, both in
popularity and beauty; soft cloths of
the variety termed Chiffon" old.

fashioned cashmeres, henriettas and
brilliant poplins, crepe de chimes woven
in double widths, like the cloths, and
silks of wonderful softness and luster,
are all favorite materials for. horse
show costumes. 49,.
There is decided tendency toward
plain lines in the skirts-the simple
skirt showing as splendid foil for
the elaborate coat or bodice that usual
ly accompanies it.
Artists Avoid Exaggeration.
And it is also worth noting that the
extreme Of exaggeration Of fulness is
noticeably absent in the best of the new
skirt styles. Truth to tell, the best
models from the best Paris artists have
avoided extremes in this as in all de-
tails. But there is, nevertheless, a
more than suggestion Of crinoline in
these latest skirts. Various methods
are resorted to to hold them
out about the feet-thus preserving the
proper "balance' to the figure. Paris
makers tried wire hoops, and again a
the hem and at the head Of the ruffie.
And drop skirts with two overlapping
double rufhes on the outside and three
set in the inside, are used by some.
Lightest and most effective of all is the
founce Of princess haircloth that is of
featherweight ightness; this is more
graceful than stiff steels, and less cum
bersome than the too many ruffes.
Blouses Again Triumph.
With the appearance of the more
elegant suits for winter, the separate
blouse-the third piece of the three
piece suit-takes on added interest in

GIRLS FRIENDLY SOCIETY
The Philanthropic Organization Is Now
Twenty-six Years Old. &

The Girls Friendly society in Amer
lea is now twenty-six years old. and
has grown to majority SO quietly that
few, even among the church people, are
aware Of the good it accomplishes and
the great field of work that lies before
it.
It, was in 1874 four friends met in
England to discuss the first plan Of the
Girls Friendly society, and from this
small beginning has sprung this society,
numbering It's tens Of thousands all over
the world. Wherever a member may
be, she may never be lost sight Of. but
be always sure of a friend in need. It
was in 1876 that the society was formed
in America, beginning almost simultan-
eously in Massac husetts and in Mary
land. It was not until the year 1882
that the scheme for binding together
the Girls Friendly societies IN different
parts Of the world was worked out in
England.
The organization in America consists
Of 2 central council, diocesan councils,
branches, associates and members, each

combined forming the complete body.

Fur and velvet Combinations are in

Rich, heavy colors are used, but very

Pale pink and blues used separately,

make up some of the prettiest Of the

Curious f1ower-like trimmings are used

says:
The strain under which the
Mayor had labored since the
