 English ignorance of American geog- rapby Is an unfailing source of amuss- ment, and it must be said that us the English grow more and more to ad- mire us there Is no less excuse for 1t.

The crux of the Problem.

Another thing, many foolish girls in
 modest circumstances at this time of
 the year try to have a wordrobe which
 rivals Solomon in its gorgeous color
 ings. They want gown of each coll or. They buy morning dresses of shades that will never wash. unpracti- cal silk tailor mades, shoes of light undressed kid which soil in three steps and clean badly. and they always look mussy and badly dressed. On the oth- CT hand. the woman who manages to look pretty never wears anything real ly conspicuous. She clings to white and soft shades because they launder or clean so that they always look well. She has one or two hats. but they are well made and suit her face exactly. She does not attempt to wear blue, pink and scarlet all in the same year unless she has a very long purse. and, especially during the summer months she wears as many wash things as possible.
 At the Casino at Newport there may be one elaborate silk dress of a dark shade to a score of embroidered batiste gowns that might go into the tub the very next day. I can assure you that the snowy whiteness of a wash gown, with a white sailor hat and a plain white parasol Is worth all the colored costumes you ever saw on a hot sum- mer's day.
 It's funny that women, as a rule. do not seem to realize that, and it's al- ways the woman with the least money who manages to make herself hideous by purchasing the nose elaborate, flimsy and impractical clothes.
 Yesterday I saw a woman standing in the doorway of one of the large shops. What do you suppose she wore? A hat trimmed with pale blue ostrich plumes sadly out of curl, but expensive; green silk coat of the lat est cut and fancy skirt of an entirely

 There are women even in these en- frightened times who worry about growing old and growing at the same time homely.
 Let me tell you that If you grow old looking and homely and stupid it's alk your fault. Your waist line won't thicken if you take exercise; your face won't grow stupid unless you give your brain no food: you will never grow homely if you have an interest In life. which will keep your face bright and full of animation. It is the people who are selfish whose features become a1 pinched up and mean; it is usually the inactive people who grow fat; it is the self indulgent ones who grow stu pid, and 1t is those who waste their time who get old and homely.

With the departure from this life last

NOTES FROM
THE STATE
HOUSE

There have been years when but very
little has been heard OF the public insti-
tutions' committee OF the house OF repre-
sentatves during the session but u GER
IN My is not true this year for there are
few that have been more heard about In
the rast few weeks.
Abstracts OF most OF the reports re-
ferred TO the committee are made by the
clerk and they are sent back 10 the house
and referred 10 appropriate committees.
IN this way the committees such as the
judiciary and finance committees can con-
slider matters OF Importance recommended
ny the various commissions or boards OF
managers without wadng through all
the reports
i'm this way the interesting material
contained in the record commissioners re-
port was brought 10 light.
The commissioner r. Hammett Tilley
recommends legislation 10 provide for the
e.ect!on OF town and city clerks and rec
orc officers for at least three years as an
incentive 10 better work and the inn
provement or tho system. Where there is
the liability OF a change every year the
clerk has hardly time to get an effective
system OF keeping records into shape be-
fore he may be removed
Another recommendati tion ts that law
he enacted 10 provide for the keeping
OF the records In freproof safes or vaults.
there being nothing now TO oblise the

There seems TO be some opposition de-
to the measure 10 allow the free
fishermen Of Pawtuxet to use power boat
IN the oyster fisheries of the Cranston
and Warwick shores.
At yesent what fishing IL done must
be FROM row or sail boats IL is under
stood that the chief opposition comes
from the planters who hold lease lands
and that their contention Is that N the
free fishermen are allowed 20 use power

There will be a hearing on the matter
