THE
NEW YORK WORLD
THRiCE-A-WEEK EDITION.

The THRICE-A-WEE WORLD was a
brilliant success in the beginning and has
been steadily growing ever since. Time
is the test of all things, and has set its
seal of approval on the Thrice-a-Week
World, which is widely circulated in
every state and territory in the union,
and wherever there are people who can
read our mother tongue.
This paper for the coming winter and
the year 1908, will make its news service,
if possible, more extensive than ever.
All events of Importance, no matter
where they happen, are reported accur-
ately and promptly.
The subscriber, for only one dollar
year, gets three papers every week and
more news and general reading than
most great dailies can furnish at five or
six times the price.
The Thrice-a-Weel World is absolutely
fair in its political news. Partisan bias
is never allowed to effect its news
columns, and Democrat and Republican
alike can obtain in its pages truthful
accounts of ali the great political cam
paigns.
In addition to all the news, the Thrice
a-Week World furnishes the best serial
action, elaborate market reports and
finer features of interest.
otThe Thrice-a-Week Worlds regular
subscription price is only 81 per year and
this pays for 1876 papers. We offer it
and this paper together one year for
81 50 in this county. The regular sub
scription price of the two papers is 49,

How many women can answer these
questions without feeling guilty?
DO you wear any article of clothing
which makes you feel uncomfortable?
Do you eat food which you know
disagrees with you?
Do you give yourself SO little time
to dress that you have to rush through
life to keep your appointments?
Is your bath a pleasure and a recre-
alton?
DO you keep your feet dry and
warm?
DO you drink plenty of pure water?
Do you take plenty of exercise in
the open air?
Do you do to-day's work only, leav-
ing to-morrow's burden until to-mor-
row is to-day?
Do you plan your work and try to
save yourself time and steps, or do
you dip into first one thing and then
another blndly?
DO you always try to be cheerful,
or do you fuss and fret and worry
about everything and everybody

Kaiser wilhelm,s Cook..

Feeding the Germany Emperor is
no light task. Despite all that is said
about the Kaisers Spartan habits,
there are few monarchs who keep
more elaborate tables. He has no
fewer than four chefs-Schliedenst
er, a German; Harding, an English
man; an Italian and Frenchman-so
that he can have his meals for the day
served in the style of whatever nation
he may happen to fancy. Each of
these chefs has his staff of assistants,
while in addition there is an individ-
ual who may safely be described as
sausage maker to the Kaiser" His
Majesty is very fond of the huge
white frankfurter sausage, and has a
supply of them made fresh every day
in his own kitchen. When engaged in
maneuvring his army on a big field
day these frankfurters and bread in
yariably form the Kaiser's luncheon.
In addition TO all these cooks there is a
special stan to prepare meals for the
younger of the princes and princesses,
who are not allowed to partake of the
rich dishes the elder members of the
family indulge in.-Stray Stories.

PERSIAN LAMB WITH OTHER

ond choice. Ermine, too, makes
charming contrast; and since vests
and revers are so fashionable, the cor
rect thing is to fashion them after
some contrasting fur.
All of the long haired furs are to be
seen in the new victorines, pelerines
and the recently revived capes-for
capes are the dernier cri in the fur
world, and when they are double
capes, with a full ripple over the
shoulders and a marked point back
and front, then there is nothing fur
Their to be desired in the way of style.
The stole-pelerines are delightful in
lynx, fox, wolf or bear; while the re-
liable Alaska sable (skunk) may not
look quite so fluffy and pretty, its
wearing qualities are undeniable.

Gloves are cleaned on the hand OF

should dry on the hand.
It is a mistake to let white gloves
become really dirty.

Tan shades of the warmest possible
sorts appear in mannish handgear.
White gloves are elegant, if perfect,

they are horrible.
With pink evening dress a dead
white glove is not so pretty as one
family tinted with pink.
Pasted fawn gloves are attractive
with dresses of brown, castor or tan
color, or with dark green.

be cast aside, and pastel shades look

BARBERRY JELLY.

A delicious jelly, which is in high
repute with English people and fami.
lies of English descent in this coun.
try, is made of barberries. The bar
berry is rather seedy fruit for pre-
serves, but it is sometimes put up, as
currants are, with a pound of raisins
to every five pounds of itself and q
pound of sugar to pound of the
whole. The barberry should be pick
ed late, after it has been touched
with the frost, and the fruit is deep
dark crimson. The demand for the
fruit is 80 limited that it seldom sells
for more than ten cents quart, so it
must be classed among our inexpen@
sive preserving fruit.

THE IDEAL WOMAN.

Men differ as to religion and poll
tics, but in their ideal of woman they
stand firmly united, says a writer in
New York Farmer. With one accord
they declare that the ideal woman is
the one who devotes herself above
all things to the ways of her husband,
and so exclusive must this devotion be
that one of the most frequent objec-
tions to woman suffrage is that even
the fifteen minutes a year necessary
to the casting of her ballot would Sc
riously interfere with her home du-
ties.
1t has always seemed a detraction
from the dignity of marriage that a
wife's duties were SO closely allied to
those Of a valet or household SER
want. A man would not seek inspira-
tion after a hard days work in the
society of either, and ret we find men
saying that women best adorn the
home, but we observe that in general
men avoid it for as many hours day
as possible.
Has it come to this, then, that men
do not really care for The ideal which
they profess to cherish! They flock
in numbers to applaud woman as an
actress and as a lecturer. The less
she conforms to their ideal, the keen
er seems their desire for her society.
In Washington the geographical con-
gress is proud to honor Mrs. Fanny
Bullock Workman, who holds the
worlds record among women for high
mountain ascents. She has scaled
number of the giants of the Himalay-
as, which have never been climbed by
any man excepting her husband.
What then is the status Of the much
Wanted ideal? The honors seem to
go the other way. 1t is absurd to ex-
pect women as class to devote their
lives to fulfilling mans ideal only to
find the finished product drug en-
the market.

purpose, but they facilitate the NOV

BRIDAL CUSTOMS IN JAPAN.

Now that Japan is brought promi-
nently before the public, the quaint
: customs practiced in that far away
wedding rules are, perhaps, the most
iron bound of all tho peculiar prac-
tees among people of the Fiowery
y Kingdom.
The average Japanese girl rarely
knows that her hand has even been
sought until all the arrangements have
been made between her father and
her sutton The latter, however, does
not manage this in person, but leaves
all the arrangements to some trusty
emisssary, generally an Intimate
friend.
When the preliminaries have been
satisfactorily concluded the young
couple are introduced to each other
in the most formal manner and ex-
change gifts either of money or
clothes, as a rule. There is no en-
gagement ring, but. strange to say, it
is easier to get divorce after mar
riage than it is to break the betroth-
al. After the Introduction the con-
tracing parties are considered bound
to marry, says the Chattanooga Times.
In one particular only does the JAP
anese bridal resemble the western
ceremony. This is, too, small mat
ter. The Japanese bride, like Der
western sister. wears veil; but TIN re
Is absolutely no religious ceremony
and no legal oaths are administered.
But the young people sit in the Japan
csc fashion upon the cushions on the

bridegroom and the friend VINO has
