THE CARE OF HER GOWNS,
This NPomRn'H Method IL worthy OF

This VPomnn'H Method IL worthy OF
Being Widely Copied.
A time saver Is the plan which a wo-
man who has much Of her dresnmaking
done in the house has evolved in the
care Of her gowns. She keeps all Of
her waists for each gown II not the
whole gown itself In boxes. With It
she puts the little bunch Of silk or
scraps Of lace and ribbon that were
left. Sic also puts In the particular
bunch OF ruching that she has selected
for wearing with 1t 70 that In case Of a
fresh piece baing needed or any little
change being thought Of she has every
thing at hand ready when she takos
down the box.
AS may be imagined, she is one who
can add a touch here and mako a
change there in her collar or belt ar
rangements, little improvements which
In rue feminine fashion she often
makos a few minutes before she puts
the dress on. For this and for any ae-
cident which happens to the gown the
scraps already at hand are invaluable.
The same plan applies in keeping tho
wells which go with 1t In the box with
each hat, where they have more room
than In n common veil box and where
the time is saved which 1t takes to get
out two boxes.-Plttsburg Dispatch.

DRESS HINTS.

Don't wear big sleeves and big hats
IL you are short.
Don't jump into your clothes and ex-
pect to look dressed.
Tight gloves will go on moro easily
II warmed before putting on the hands
than If put on when cold.
In sewing OH buttons have the knot
Of the thread on the right side directly
under the button and see If the button
does not stay on longer.
Whatever may be the shape Of her
foot n woman should be particularly
careful to be well shod, and tho uglieg
the foot the more careful she ought
to be.
Never have the top Of tho boots tight,
as 1t interferes with the action Of the
calf muscles, makes one walk badly
and spells the shape Of the ankle.
In making b~uttonholes In goods that
fray easily 1t Is n great hclp TO stitch
twice around on the sewing machine
before the hole Is cut, as n rrmer foun-
dalton is secured and no fraying re-
suits.

phyRfca1 Training.

a physician points out in a contem-
porary that tl."re is not the slightest
need OF girls to engage In elaborate
gymnastic exercises or to practice
beauty culture N order to obtain GOOD
complications and healthy physiques.
The very best training for tho muscles
Is to be found in ordinary homework,
and when the body Is perfectly healthy
the skin will be cleared and the eyes
frightened. 1t Is not given to all girls
to be able to indulge In outdoor sports,
which is, Of course, tho ideal way Of
getting exercise, but all can perform
simple household duties, and these, IL
done with open windows and In a brisk
way, will do FAR more for those who
perform them, says this doctor, than
ordinary drilling.

Attitude of the spinners.

Q. w. McAra, president OF the
Master Cotton Spinners' Association
Of Great Britain says the spinners had
20 quarrel with American cotton plant
ers, had no desire to interfere with
their legitimate profits and had no OBJ
jection to the fluctuations brought
about by a small or a large yield. AS
a matter OF fact, the grower would be
we'll rewarded in an ordinary season
by o return OF 8 cents per pound. BY
gambling operations, however, the
price had been advanced for several
seasons to Ia cents per pound and
higher, which meant an advance on
the worlds crop Of $3.50, 900, 600. The
American spinner, Mr. McAra ADDS,
Is as badly handicapped as the Europ.
can spinners, the cost OF the carriage
OF cotton to New England mills being
as great as the cost OF carriage by sea
to Lancashire.

"Outrageous Corruption"

Referring to "Iife Insurance abus.
os' the ST. Louis Globo. Democrat. a
republican paper, says:
Every dollar Of life insurance profits
improperly turned into The pockets OF

fluence selfish legislation, Is q species
OF outrageous corruption, a robbery Of
the many for the rapacious few. The
time to apply the remedy iB at the
moment Of detection, and no one has
a right to complain II the sure Is stern
In Its nature.
That being true, says the Common.
er, what will the Globe. Democrat say
with respect to the suggestion that
the republican national committee
put 1T baokp" The insurance inquiry
disclosed that one insurance company
has contributed $3.50, 900 to the repub.
lican national campaign fund during
the last three presidential campaigns.
This money belonged to the policy.
holders, and was contributed without
their consent. According to the Globe
Democrat, these contributions to the
republican campaign fund amount to
"a species Of outrageous corruption, q
robbery Of the many for the rapacious
few" OF course, putting it back
would be q cure stern In Its nature"
but, in the language of the Globe.
Democrat the time to apply the

One remedy Is to provide publicity for
all contributions to political funds,

Is put 1t bs ck."

Mako Good Voters.

In an address delivered before thou
SANDS Of people at the Lewis and
CLARK exposition at P Jrtland last week,
Gov. Frank r. Gooding, Idaho's chief
executive, spoke enthusiastically of
the equal suffrage situation in Idaho.
Idaho is especially proud OF the fact
That we have equal suffrage in cur
state" he said. II have always been
An ardent believer In equality at the
ballot box. 1t was my good fortune
% DO one OF tho conmmittee who
drafted the first resolution ever pre-
sented TO tho people Of Idaho through
ihe Republican party, favoring equal
suffrage. AS q result Of those prom.
tses, tho WON jnaof our state now en-.
Joy the freedom of tho ballot. This
act of justice has been greatly ap.
oreoiated by the good women Of Ida.
40, who have shown their apprecia-
Ion by the active interest they have
aiken In publics fairs. Equal suffrage
ias done a great deal to improve poll
icsl conditions In Ihaho. To-day no
narty dares nominate o man for Office
whose character Is not clean, and who
has not shown his appreciation OF the
lome. There are many other good
odings that might be said Of equal
suffrage. But this, OF itself, 1T SCENE
60 me, Is %suf1ciont to commend 1t to
LII good citizens" This is the testi-
nony Of a man VINO has seen woman
suffrage tried. II woman suffrage is
such a good thing out in Idaho, why
would 1t not be..a good thing for South

The Tale of the Mouth.

1t Is the mouth which tells tho tale
of n fretful and irritable disposition. 1t
Is this feature which acts as q give
away when a woman wishes to appear
something that she isn't. A woman
may spend a small fortune In cosmetics
and massage, but II she doesn't watch
her mouth and keep it sweet her mon

looking. A perpetually smiling woman
Is an offense against good taste, but a
woman with q sweet, expressive mouth
Is the loveliest thing IN the world, but
there are very few Of them.
