 many methods are tried to keep them alive as long as possible.
 Much depends, of course. on. the com dition in which flowers are received, as often they are sent out by florists when just ready to drop all petals. However. if they are in. fairly good condition, they can be kept with 8 little care for three or four days even a week.
 Each evening put the flowers in boxes, sprinkle them well, cover with oiled paper and put them in cool place. The cellar is best in summer; in winter keep them where they will not freeze.
 Remember, sprinkling does not mean drowning. Make the stems quite moist and be careful not to wet the petals, especially in delicate hothouse flowers like gardentas, tea roses and sweet peas, which are apt to get brown spots from being touched with water.
 The next morning cut on each stem about quarter of an inch where 1t has been calloused.
 Before returning the flowers to the vase wash 1t thoroughly with hot water to remove all traces of scum or slime. Then let the water get gradually cool until you rinse. with cold water to thoroughly chill the glass, and refill.

 lar with home dressmakers and dress artists alike, there are no end of petty troubles which follow hard upon their trail-little points which must be carefully looked to in wearing them.
 To see woman go down the street. with boIero and skirt separated by an irregular line of white where the blouse has quite literally bloused out of it's proper bounds: with gloves too obvious ly pulled up over long blouse sleeves and failing to meet the elbow sleeve of the jacket, Is a sorry sight, indeed.
 No style that is popular this season requires so much care in the putting on as do bolero fashions. The blouse must be pulled down in a thoroughly trig fashion, and adjusted so that 1t won't ride up. One way of accomplish ing this is to wear a narrow belt of elastic directly over the blouse and un- der the skirt If this elastic be flat and drawn through small, flat wire buckle, the blouse should "stay put splendldly.
 So many of the prettiest suits have some sort of deep girdle to match that 1t is a great help In getting a gen. eral trig effect; but, even then, blouse

and skirt should be trim when the boz lero is off-there must be no ugly. blous- ing over the top of the girdle under the arms.
 Sometimes girdle or corselet is made of the same material as the suit; oftener, when the suit Is of cloth, the makes much the prettier girdle. for 1t can be draped and laid upon fitted foundation without making the waist seem thick.
 If your bolero is, as nine out of ten are, made with short sleeves, wear short -sleeved blouses with 1t, or with long sleeves which can be deftly tuck is most satisfactory for the woman who likes the long glove, but disAikes a bare arm when bolero and glove are off, drops almost to the wrist, yet pushes up (and stays) at elbow length when you want 1t to.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-05-06

Narrow elastics play an important part in keeping sleeve and glove alike in place. With sleeves make casing around the lower edge. through which run white elastic of the width used for children's hats. It may tie or be sewed into place. and should be just tight enough to hold the sleeve with out feeling tight upon the arm. For. besides the discomfort of q tight band, 1t will make your hands unpleasantiy red.
 For gloves catch the elastic (ok course, using black elastic for the, popular black gloves, and white for the even more popular white ones) with a few stitches just inside the edge of the service. Then, when you tuck them up. we'll within the bolero sleeve, they stay in place, instead of showing q white bit in between.
 While these rules are particularly applicable to suits of cloth, or of pom gee, or linen, in every color but white. they should be observed with white as we'll. For it is not only in the breaking of color schemes that f9nor- ing them results. but in a breaking of { line which gives a too usual effect of untidiness.

GETTING SOMETHING FOR
 NOTHING.

Our friend, J. E. Wootton, in his article published in this paper last week, referred to the Star as fol- lows: Tt is true, our school is wrapped up in confusion as far as the Star is read, but we are doing as good work as ever, if not better" We presume the gentleman was thinking of the Stars exposure and denunciation of the transaction whereby he was given a ninety-nine year lease on Hendrix Academy in exchange for his Commercial hotel property, and if so we most sincere ly regret that there was ever any occasion for us to do so, but have no apologies to offer for our course or for the position taken. Our col umns have always been open for reply and we have asked few per- tinent questions that never have been answered.
 We wish it understood, however, that we have never said aught against Prof. Wootton and his school, but instead have taken special pains to praise him for his push and energy and to speak good words for his enterprises. Itis the other party to the transaction who has been cen sured for having attempted to secure something for nothing by trading property they did not own, and in which they never invested dollar. for valuable property in Mena be- longing to Prof. Wootton, and it has been impossible to disassociate him from the transaction.
 If man should quietly enter town and without comforting with those interested regarding his ob- ject, and should pick up rope and walk off with it and later find there was a horse attached, and then should trade that horse for mule he would have accomplished his purpose of getting something for nothing and would be in danger of term in state prison, but the man who traded the mule for the horse would be held blameless and could recover his mule.

.oNLY A KNAvE OR FOOL.

'OlNLI A KiNfAVG ON tOO1s
 The article appearing at the head of these columns, as written by Dr.. Louis P. Crutcher of Kansas City, is quite timely and to the point, con- ing as it doess while Speaker Cannon and Secretary Shaw are stumping the country singing in unison let good enough alone" Dr. Crutcher presents logical arguments from a physicians view point, and the beauty of it is they cannot be proven erronious either in medical practice or politics.
 The individual, party or nation which settles down to the idea that no advancement is to be taken from settled and established conditions is on the road to senility, decay and dissolution.
 The cries of ''let good enough alone" and "do not disturb present conditions" have been the songs sung by the advocates of oppression, slavery and public plunder through out the ages, and is likely to be for all time to come. The political his tory of the world has shown that nothing is ever "good enough" while wrong conditions prevail and that wrong conditions prevail in this country now none but a knave or a fool will presume to deny.

 The Kansas City Journal, a Repub- lican organ, speaking of the "tene- ment problem" in that city and the efforts being put forth by com mission recently appointed to relieve the situation, among other things says:
 "As the first practical step, the commission has been Investigating conditions in the crowded districts where human beings are herded like cattle and huddled like sheep. These investigations have disclosed conditions which. as the commission says in it's report, would be surprising to the upper half of the community which does not know how the lower half lives. Numerous tenements have been found so unsanitary and crowded that it is almost impossible for their dwellers to lead healthful, moral lives.
