Poke Hats.

In hats the autumn may bring in the
poke, for pokes are considerably worD
this summer. There are several varie
ties Of this popular shape, and those
who do not want to wear the full poke
can indulge in a modified edition which
has full scoop front and strings be-
hind, without being too extreme in
style, or too voluminous in scope.

Hobbv of Spain's Queen Regent.

The principal hobby Of the Queen
Regent Of Spain is the collecting OF
playing cards. She possesses a large
number of curious packs, many Of
which have no little historic interest.
One set, made Of ivory, is believed to
have belonged to Prince Eugene, who
fought with the great Duke of Marl-
borough, and to have accompanied him
on all his campaigns. Queen Christina
also owns. some exceedingly rare cards

How to Plow.

In plowing field many persons make
the mistake of plowing round and
round it in the same old way, year
after year, until on all sides Of the
field there forms a ridge or high bank
near the fence. The proper way to
plow q field is with back furrow, one
side at time and all around the field.

Overskirts to Be Worn.

There is every prospect that We shall
be wearing overskirts within the COM
ing year. The tunic skirt is being
doomed by the dressmakers and since
many women have taken kindly to the
innovation, its success is fairly well
assured. The style is very becoming to
tall figures, but is not at all happy
one for short or stout women.

Too IIany Gowns.

A rwell-known fashion authority
urges women to avoid the mistake OF
accommodating too many gowns. Most
of us think that we are unlikely to
fall into such mistake, but in reality
almost everybody buys too freely. AS
d rule this results not in toe many
gowns, but in fewer than we would
have if NE purchased with more dis
cretion.

Silks to Be Higher.

Silks will probably be somewhat
higher priced next season. At least.
the higher prices which raw silks are
commanding at present seem to indi-
cate this. Raw silk is now about tif-
teen per cent. higher than it was a
year ago. There is no indication that
the output will soon be increased, and
the demand is very large.

dark shadows appear under her eyes,
her sleep is disturbed by horrible

her system up at once by tonic with

OF White ROses.

A flower hat was made entirely Of
tiny white roses. The shape was a
turban, and the only trimming was a
cluster Of larger white roses with
leaves placed on one side. The clus-
ter was tied in a f1aring bow knot Of
green stems. The turban, though SO
simple, was very effective.

THE IDEAL WIFE:
Shapes the Destiny of Men-The influence OF a
Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestimated.

Seven-eighths of the
men in this world marry
a woman because she is
beautiful In their eyes
because she has the quail
ties which inspire admira-
ton, respect and love.
There is o beauty in
health which is more at
tractive to men than mere
regularity of feature.
The influence of women
glorious in the possession
Of perfect physical health
upon men and upon the
civilization Of the world
could never be measured.
Because of them men have
attained the very heights
of ambition; because of
them even thrones have
been established and de-
stroyed.
Whata disappointment,
then, to see the fair young
wife's beauty fading away
before q year passes over
her head! A sickly, half
dead-and-alive WON an,
especially when she is
the mother Of q family,
is a damper to all joyous
ness in the home. and a
drag upon her husband.

slant illness is q serious
drain upon the funds of a

Overdrafts Unlawful

There are 70 be no more oserdrafts IN
the State of Washington, according q the
Democrat, Of North Yakima, in connec-
ton with which statement itgives the fol-
lowing rather interesting dissertation:
s.On June 9, 1906, the new law went into
effect whereby it becomes q crime for any
person to draw check Or draft against an
account in national, state or private
bank unless the maker Of such check or
draft has to mis- or her credit q sufficient
amount to pay.
I'm the earlier days Of banking many
credits were granted in the form Of over
drafts, the bank merely giving its casto-
mer permission to draw checks to q spe-
Gifted amount. This has been found 2
dangerous system. Many persons would
keep no record of their drawings, the
bank would be compelled TO call halt
and decline his checks, causing no end Of
Inconvenience and hard feelings. Many
of the old timers relate with pride that Al
certain time they had an unlimited
credit and that their checks would be paid
for any sum they wished to draw. Par
ties would also arrange for an overdraft
privilege with the premeditated intention
of drawing checks for more money than
they were entitled to, and if the un fortu-
nate holder of the dishenored. checks
should seek relief through the courts, il
was frequently held that the maker Of the
check had the privilege OF an overdraft,
that he had merely made an error in his
accounts and was freed of any criminal
liability It is different now. The banks
have thousands of accounts and cannot
watch each and every one of them. It is
necessary, therefore. that borrowers ar
range for their credits by giving an ac-
ceptable note. The amount OF the note is
placed in his name subject to check ac-
count and he is required to keep his books
straight and not draw check for a greater
amount than he has to his actual credit.
Bankers, by the system of overdrafts, al
lowed their book keepers and teHers ia
make their loans, which in many cases
caused heavy losses, the cverdrafts rum
ming greater than was intended by the
manager of the bank.
1.-THE banks, therefore. must not permit
| overdrafts. One remarkable feature OF
the banks in the Eastern states is the
clearness from overdrawn accounts. many
of them not permitting an overdraft un-
der any consideration. The new law
passed by the legislature of the State OF
Washington makes overdrafts crime;
the people must learn this, says local
banker, and thus save the banks the un-
pleasant duty of refusing to permit over
drafts even in the accounts of their nost
