SEWING PARTIES OF
JAPANESE NOBLE WOMEN

Toxic. April 20.-There is very
aristocratic sewing party which meets
every day at "Shibua," the Red Cross
headquarters in Toxic. 1t includes
Princess Kakumiya, Princess Nashimo-

Higashifushi, all members of the I'M
perial family; Warehouses Hachisuka.
Warehouses Naveshima, Viscountess
Mort, Viscountess Kabayama, Wis
countess Tokugawa, Baroness Yage ard
Countess Saki. The only commoners in
the party are Mrs. Kuroki, the wife Of
the commander-in-chief of the forces
in Korea, Miss West, young Amer
lean woman, who has become very
popular in the highest circles of Japa-
nese society, and Mrs. Barclay, the
wife of the First Secretary of the Brit
ish Legation.

ing party yesterday privilege which
is rarely granted to any man, whether
he be a foreigner or a Japanese. The
ladies were all dressed in the uniform
of the Japanese Red Cross. Their
dresses were plain nurses costumes of
white or light gray, and red crosses
were sewed on the front of their white
caps. Every one of them was work.

number of rolls of bandages she could

they have become more expert with

There is great rivalry among them.
The most expert Is pretty little Prin-

best records are about forty rolls a

This statement the reader may take
for fact or fancy, as the spirit moves
him. Another bit or Smithiana is that
the Phrygian Apollo was called Smin-
theus. This discovery is the result of
profound research.
Some one has unkindly said that,
John being the commonest of Christ
ian names; John Smith is really no
name at all. To comfound this scoGer,
the following list has been prepared:
In Latin, John Smith is Johnus

or Fabbroni in Spanish Juan

Schmidt, or Schmitzes; in French,

a center-piece to match. Tablecloths
take great strength and much heat in
ironing, while the doylies are mere
play by comparison. Some women go
so far as to employ paper doylies in
simulated Mexican drawn work or
lace.
A June bride has included in her
trousseau what she calls her '1azy
woman's aprons" each evolved from
three bath towels which she picked
up at 10 cents each at a fire sale.
Two of the towels are whipped to-
gether for the apron proper. The
lower fringe is cut off, so that the
finish can be gathered neatly into a
band. The other towel, split down
the center, passes over each shoulder
in the form of a bib the "V' opening
at the bust line.
Lightweight Turkish toweling has
been used, and the aprons can be
washed out every day, dried in the
sun. shaken we'll and laid away, fresh
and clean for another days busting

The advantage of all these mate
rails lies in the fact that a woman may
indulge her love of fresh, white gar
ments without dreading two days of
incessant ironing.
The secret of their freshness lies
In the care taken in hanging them out
to dry and when putting them in the
closet. All cotton crepe frocks should
be arranged on coat hangers, and
their own weight will keep them in
shape. Incidentally, it may be men,
toned that fine gauze shirts and draw
ers come this season with daintiest of
lace edgings, which need no ironing

THE MIGHTY ARMY OF THE SMITHS

Among early Settlers in this coun-
try were Robert Smith, who came
over in 1888, and John Smith-the first
and original John-who settled in Bos-
ton In the same year. Two years pre-
vious Henry Smith, with his wife.
three sons and two daughters, three
men servants and two maid servants,
settled in New Hampshire, and Will
lam Smith, a Quaker from Yorkshire,
England, came to Philadelphia in 1884,.
One of the earliest charts of the
New Hampshire coast was made by
the first admiral of New England,
Capt. John Smith. No truer patriot
ever lived than Maj Simeon Smith,
who was always first at the post of
danger. He was among the foremost
of that gallant little band Of eighteen
who flew to Stonington upon the
bombardment of that town, and there
fought with indomitable courage.
The Rev. Cotton Mather Smith, of
Sharon, Connecticut, volunteered as
chaplain to the Fourth Connecticut
Regiment. A graphic scene in the
Sharon meeting house is described by
his wife.

proclaimed in clear, ringing tones that

Asael Smith, who served during the
Revolution. and whose home was in
Topsfeld; Massachusetts; was some
thing of a wag. Instead of swearing
off his taxes he took them in good
part apparently and even dropped
into poetry" inspired by the theme:
MY land is acres eighty-two,
Which sarch the Record you'll find
true;
And this is all / have in store,
I'll thank you If youth tax no more"
Smith is often a very convenient
alias. When Louis Philippe found
himself in a snug hotel at Newhaven,
after abdicating his throne and when
fleeing for his life, he asked the name
of his landlady. Mrs. Smith? Eth
bien, think l have heard that name

alias he had adopted and William

he had at that moment in his pocket.

The Smiths are lineal descendants of

Shmit, Smit, Smith-it is quite sim

If, however, this derivation does not
satisfy the critical reader, who pre-
fers to dig for nominal roots, let him
be told that lterally--it is sometimes
tiresome to be too literal-Smith means
smiter-one who smites or hammers.

metal, copper, iron, silver or gold had

Some genius of computation has
figured out that If all the men and
army of seven million Smiths would
be among them. Allowing feminine
Smiths to be as numerous, the world
has fourteen millions Smiths, of whom
there are 1,000,000 in the United States
In New York alone there are 1876 1000.
Three thousand Smiths are employed

If any one wants a neat diminutive,

other forms to choose from-Smeeth,

In the plural we have Smithes,
Smithyes, Smythies. In the compare

that he was the founder of the cele-

Notice TO Hunters.

For the information of our read
ers we publish the following from
y. L. Sweeney, Commissioner Of
Fisheries and Game in Indiana, in
regard to the license feature of the
game laws:
Section 10 Of the game law says:
at shall be unlawful to hunt with
dog and shotgun any and all kinds
of game from October 1st to Novem-
Der 10th Of the same year except as
provided in Section Il of this act. 4"
The object Of this closed season
for forty days is to keep everybody
out Of the field during that time and
give all an equal chance when the
open season for quail shooting comes
in November 10th. There are many
lawless people who go out with the
avowed purpose of shooting rabbits,
practicing their dog, etc., who have
been in the habit OF killing quail be-
fore the season commences. The
man who observes the law has no
chance as against these lawless peo-
|ple. They kill nearly all the quail
before he can get get into the fields.
With forty day closed season the
law abiding hunter has an equal
chance with the lawless hunter,
There is, however. a provision in
Section IL which allows men who
live in those paris OF the state where
ducks and wild water fowl are pass.
ing through in October and will be
out OF the state before the 10Th OF
November, to hum them under a
license, and these licenses have been
made very strict so as not TO permit
quail shooting under them, but only
birds OF passage, and which if not
killed in October cannot be killed
at all. This is the sole object Of
the license.

Do not Marry for q Home.

Home is womsn's sphere, how.
ever much conditions and necsssi.
ties have forced her into other and
more extended ones. No true
woman lie indifferent to home and
all that it means 10 herself and
others. The more truly womanly
she is, the more she appreciates and
values it.
But to marry for the homes sake
is like buying a picture for its
frame, or valuing the binding of the
book above the book itself. No
one can make the home a more i'm.
portant thing in married life than
the man who marries; and in no
possible case can the home satisfy
one if the husband fails. Love for
the man one marries will make a
home OF an attick, or the weather.
side of a hedgerow. But married
life, where the home comes first
and the husband second, or a bad
third, is hideous travesty Of what
it was meant to be, and it can never
draw anything but a blank in the
marriage lottery.
