William H. Taft. the present secretary
Of war, was civil governor of the Phil
tppine Islands, he conceived the idea
that the Worlds Fair at ST. Louis, al
most in the center Of the United
States, would offer an excellent oppor-
tunity to show to the American peo-
pie the wonderful resources Of the
archipelago and the character of the
inhabitants. Gov. Taft outlined a plan
Tor a Filipino display at St. Louis,
which has been carried out faithfully.
The Philippine Exposition is per
haps the most striking fea re OF the
Worlds Fair. It covers a tract Of II
acres. There are 1900 natives. The
buildings number about 113, not count
ing the numerous huts in the five
native villages. Because the Philip
pine display is rather isolated from
the rest of the Fair, the average visitor
is generally amazed when he crosses
the Bridge of Spain over Arrow Head
lake, goes through the grim looking
entrance Of the Walled City, and be-
holds the elaborate features spread out
before him. The cost of the Philip
pine Exposition approximates $780,
300. All Of this expense except $780,
900 IS born by the insular government,
and the F%ilipinos are glad to contri-
butte this amount to indicate the o

Aubestus Table Mats.

Have you ever used asbestus table
mats? If not you really should. so let
me tell you how to make some that are
pretty as well as useful.
Take a piece of butchers linen lei
ther square or oblong) the size desired
with allowance for suitable width hem.
Draw threads for hem. turn it and
hemstitch it all around. Next, take an
other piece of linen. trifie larger than
the square inside of hem on other
piece. Turn edges, hem across one end
and basic to hemstitched piece so you
can hemstitch the two together, lcav-
ing hemmed end of smaller one free.
When finished slip a sheet of asbestus
in between the two pieces of linen and
see what a neat mat you have and one
that by removing asbestus can be
washed as often as necessity demands.

ter adds to the beauty of the mat

The scolding locks at the back of the
neck are beauty's greatest ornament
If the pretty woman only understands
how to utilize them.
Very few artists are bold enough or
daring enough to paint the female neck
bare of curls, and there is hardly a
famous ideal head in the picture gal
leries with the ears exposed.
The tips of the feminine ears may
be as pretty as pink shells; but, all the
same, the artistic eye loves to clothe
them IN soft rinGlets, and no matter
how graceful or swanlike may be the

Curls ever so tiny, or, as one woman
expressed IL, ever so straight
If the hair does not grow prettily at
the back OF the neck try To train the
locks down so that they will curl. II
this cannot be done then use a few
artificial curls. Maybe the hair grows
SO wickedly at the back OF the neck
that the artificial curls cannot be used
with good results, and in this case
there is nothing TO do but TO dress the
hair low.

surely not neglect 10 make a study of

old Iaborious way. While the meat
is cooking over n slow fire to extract
all the juices the vegetables are par

There is a story told of the eminent
DR.. Abernethy, who was as blunt as
he was learned. He was called to
prescribe for an old lady in failing

ness. Her dress was spOtless and her
cap immaculate. and her friends spoke
of her as that sweet old lady" After

Real beauty is not always governed by
expense.
Blue and white is always safe and
satisfactory, and even if one does not
wish to tie herself entirely to this color
1t has no equal for breakfast or lunch
con. One can buy the dainty fragile
japanese blue and white or. better yet,
the genuine heavy but always good
Canton. Then the onion and the willow
pattern can always be found in differ
ent grades of ware.
For dinner sets it would be really
better to choose pure white thin china
than some of the decorated sets The
man who did not like to carve his slice
of rare roast beef on bed of roses or
see dainty Violets peeping between the
boiled onions was consistent An ice
might be served on a flower painted
bit of china, but never the earlier and
heavier part of the dinner. A simple

substitute a delicate green band, and
the choice will always prove satisfac-
tory and harmonic with any decora-
ton.

Lines between the Eyes.

In removing the lines between the
eyes a piece of moderately stiff court
plaster Will prove valuable. First
massage with cream, rubbing across
the lines; wash in warm water, as the
plaster Will not adhere if placed over
the cream. Cut the plaster in little
strips and mOisten well, applying
Iengthwise across the wrinkles. Stretch
the skin slightly so no wrinkles will
be left beneath the plaster. Leave on
for thirty minutes or an hour, and aft
er they are removed massage again
with cold cream.

a proficient stenOgrapher and, by pass
ing highest in a competitive examina-

writer in the treasury. Before long she
earned for herself the reputation OF the
most rapid shorthand writer in the de
partment Her evenings she spent in
studying law, and after awhile some of
the cases that came into the comptrOl-
ler's office were referred to her for de-
cision. She showed such Iucidity and
legal accuracy in the preparation of
such papers that when, a few years
ago, the place of law clerk fell vacant,
it was given to Miss Graecen by Secre-

Kitchen Aprons.

The best work and kitchen aprons
are those made out of blue and white
seersucker. One of their most excel

require no ironing. They may be wash

a dozen of them may be shaken out in
the same time that would be required
to Iaunder half the number of Bingham
or calico aprons. If desired, seersucker
may be had in plain white as well as in
