What curious change has come
over the spirit of dress for the ma
iron! Some so years since, she would
persistently grant unto herself the
shelter of the bonnet, nor dream OF
taking her walks abroad save under
the kindly influence of the sacque or
cape, and she relegated to herself
sombre tones of color, and some rigid
adherence to conservative pattern
of gown. Now she adopts every new
mode with avdity, and determines on
suiting, or at least trying to suit, her
individuality to its wear.
Indeed, very model of summer
dress for matron such as | have in

waist, the elbow sleeves of wolfe, be-
comingly reveal lace under-sleeves to
the wrist, and the broadbrimmed hat,
made of brown chip, has bunch OF

There is an interesting report to the

China is now taking a step which
will eventually lead to abolition of
foreign courts in Chinese territory for
the trial of foreigners and the adjudi-
cation of cases in which foreigners are
parties. Heretofore Chinese or others
accused of crime before Chinese
courts have had no lawyers for their
defense and no trial by jury 1t is now
proposed that they shall have both.
Lawyers for counsel of parties to civil

Fashions for the early fall are APP
pearing in the stores everywhere
From the models displayed 1t is evil
dent that brown will be one of the
predominating colors.
Paris is expressing favor for shades
of white, and some of the large New
York stores are making a feature OF
white silks of novelty weaves These
exhibitions included satin and taffeta
brocades, pekin stripes, satin mes
salines and radium weaves Model
gowns are being made up in white
silks, and they are also being used eX-
tensively for Innings and for separate
waists.
New York fashion leaders are show
ing more favor for yellows. Linen
silk and broadcloth costumes in yell
lows are being worn by the ultra
fashionables. A beautiful model gown
in pale yellow crepe de Chine is made
princess style, with guimpe in
cream-colered Spanish lace. The
gown is richly decorated in ribbon en-
broidery of the same tone and an APP
plique of cream lace.
Another model is strictly tailored
suit with half-titting coat about SO
inches long made of yellow linen. The
coat collar and cuffs are faced with
black linen. To be worn with this suit
is a burnt leghorn hat in one of the
new dropping brim shapes, trimmed
with dull yellow plumes and yellow
ribbon,
In the way of millinery yellow is
the full novelty, but 1t is used In COM
bination with other colors. A hand
some hat in brown beaver is trimmed
with large plumes showing shaded
brown, peacock blue and yellow. An
other hat in dull buff, almost tan color,
has as a relief, an ostrich plume of
dull green.

eelated Justice to the Hen.

Hens were brought to this country
very shortly, If at ALL after the first
settlements, and they have been doing
their duty faithfully ever since. But
for some unknown reason the hen S
services in the large remained unap-
preciated. The individual farmers
mortgage had been lifted frors the
farm by means of eggs and chickens;
but the American hen was not yet an
institution like the American COW or
the American hog. Just when the ma
tons eyes were opened to the worth
of this feathered benefactress cannot
be definitely stated. But something
like three years ago, about the time
of the international egg-laying contest
in Australia came the full realization
of the number of times that the harm
less necessary hen has saved the
country But the time has come, ex'
plains the New York Post, to look
squarely at the facts No amount OF
popular clamor will swerve us from
our duty of telling the truth about this
once-neglected and now overrated
American biped. The hen Is not th9
chief bulWark of our prosperity. Our
sheep and lambs are worth twice aa
much. our mules two and half times
as much, our horses more than ten
times, and our tribe of cattle II times
as much. Recite these facts to the
next scatterWitted, conceited fowl
that expects to monopolize the center
of the roadway when your motor Is
bearing down upon her If we must
get enthusiastic about something what
is the matter with the hay crop? 1t Is
usually ignored. Think of the dreary
columns about our $144, 100000 worth
of eggs, when $484 100000 worth of
hay, intrinsically just as interesting,
has been waiting to be written about.
We are tired of hearing about the hen,
and the hen herself will be spoiled be.
fore the country realizes 1t, unless the
present obsession is ended.

sitting on a bench with his little heac
on my old carpet bag, fast asleep.
I'd brought that bag down from the

picked up the carpet bag, which was as
heavy as lead. In it he had put
train of cars, an old broken kite,
lump of wet clay and dead sparrow.
DR.. Johnson didn't know what he'd
missed.
Rugged the boy all the way home,
and believe I'm getting as idioLic
over him as William. When loves
been adrifting for nigh on to 20 years,
and is awakened by little innocence
who falls pell-mell right into your
frozen, numbed, old heart, you begin
to realize there's something in life
besides yourself, your dog and your
hoardings.
Then came that awful day. 1t was
Friday. Black Friday, indeed.
1t appeared that one of the men
driving a sprinkling cart through the
park was sunstruck. Norman Gray
working near the spot jumped upon
the seat to drive the impatient team
and wagon back to the stable. The
vehicle was an unusually high one,
and always kept in a shed built for
1t. This Norman did not know, so,
while driving in the stable he was
caught between the low door frame
and the high seat of the cart, which
doubled him up and killed him in
stantly.
The poor, young wife recovered and
bore her great sorrow like the brave
little woman that she was. When it
came time for her to take Nibsey, who
chung to me like a young tendril
around an old oak, | concluded, aad
so did William, that the best thing
for Nibsey and his mother (who mad
got a position packing flower ceeds)
was to make their homes with us.
