TYING came in with the first society: but il has

INTO ITS fullest proportions Lying has been
so much the thing that when the father of
his country was caught telling the truth he made
an international reputation by it.
Lies are the medium of exchange whereby people
perform all their social political and religious duties
MAXIM, 1t IS better be caught in lie and get the
necessary experience whereby this embarrassment may be
avoided IN the future, than lie all wise man
Will never be caught in the lie twice.
Lying is universal. Even Truth les-at the bot

All men are liars" said David. David ALWAYS
spoke to the point. He did not believe in the super

was too evident. Otherwise, he would have re-

he added as he ran his eye over some of the other

about that3 If the things paid for"
Precisely laughed Dawson. They're paid

Mourning Starch

~HE wearing of mourning in sum- mer is something of problem to those women who do not consider
 that all-white is as deep weeds
 Black, at the best, is warm, and many women feel they cannot wear the sheer cotton goods now seen because 1t turns rusty, and will not launder.
 This idea is quite erroneous. Black cotton will wash in the washtub, and come out just as good as new-r one knows how.

SUMMER CURTAINS AND. PORTIERES

heavy-looking for summer: .,.~.. tn,w sasson are those in a large meshed reg and green fish net. with conventionahssoe e border and scalloped edge. They are stylish and striking. rather than Deauo- ful. ,.,,.,,, tor slightly screening doors in summer are the curtains of crepe madras, so calico because they have creepy weave ana are heavier and more durable than the ordinary madras.
 The backgrounds of soft drabs or beige make an excellent undertone for the soft Persian coloring of the de- signs. Many of them are direct copies of rare old Paisley shawls.
 Probably nothing Is quite so lasting as these curtains. Their colors are perfect ly fast, and they have been known to come out of the washtub as bright and fresh as when Eew, after six or seven years wear in a sunny window.
 The silk-striped snowflake portieres in white and various colored stripes always maintain an even popularity. If neither novel nor, particularly striking, they have the merit of lending to a room an air of dainty coolness.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-06-17

"O BE cool in our hot summers one
 must cut absolutely loose from
 heavy draperies in house. Cur
 tains and portieres that in win ter are the perfection of elegance, at the first hot day seem oppressive and out of place: Even silk hangings, though. of course, better tha# tapestries or wools, do not give an impression of cool ness, however little air they shut out.
 But some one asks: Would you have us turn our homes into ugly barracks in summer? Are no draperies permssibteY' That IS entirely matter of individu- al preference. Personally, I confess to a liking for absolutely curtainlesS win dows and doors-that Is. extra curtains. Of course, one must have shades to shut out the glare. l do not want to lose the tiniest zephyr of the all too scarce sum- mer breeze, nor do I care for unneces- sary dust catchers to make extra work for servants.
 Many housekeepers, however feel dif- ferently. It behoOves those who, defying the temperature. will have hangings to sibie.
 The question of curtains is easily dis posed of. There are numerous light. dainty fabrics which are suitable, most of which have been recently discussed Tn this section. Portieres are more dtf- ficult to select.
 Probably the first choice. especially for the country house. are the trans parent, beaded hangings. SD popular m tropical countries. These have been steadily growing in favor in America in recent years. and this season are pret- tier and, better yet. cheaper than ever before.
 An entire novelty in this style of por- tiere are those made of wood shavings strung so as to resemble chenille. only much lighter in appearance. They come in rich Persian colorings in block pat tern of green and red. or in gay floral designs.
 Their chief objection is that they are rather bad dust collectors, though it is possible to keep them in fairly good com dition by vigorous shaking.
 Then there are the portieres of pressed rice paste, shaped, dyed and strung on heavy silk. Particularly light and airy Is this portiere, with it's indistinct floral bouquets on delicate blue. yellow and green background. It is considered very durable, though occasionally supplying a mouse with supper or breakfast.
 Tie all-bamhoo hangings. strung in different geometric designs in yellow green, purplish blue and garnet, are stylish and effective at a very moderate cost They are somewhat difficult to keep clean, as they shrink when water touches them,
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-06-17

By far the most lasting and servicea- ble of all these Oriental portieres are those made of glass beads. They come in exquisite colorings, which, in the sum- or under artificial light, glisten charm ingly. They are made with combinations of the several inch-long bugle beads ana very tiny necklace beads.
 One lovely portiere was strung in sucn a way as to have a background of duiL pinkish red, with a conventionalized pat tern in white and green thrown in bold relief. Another was an artistic blending of turquoise blue. amber. white ana green.
 Besides their beauty these glass DOT: tieres have the decided advantage or washing well. At the close of a season they may be taken down. scrubbed in water and washing soda, and come out the next year as gIistening as ever.
 For those who do not care for the strung portiere there are thin silk cur ttains in green. rose or gold. banded in green heevy mercerized cotton, with a deep border in Arabesque figures done chiefly suitable for doors leading from a den or library. as they are little

Invariably holds his bread in adeeply hollowed palm-as if he feared the slice would get away while with the other he spreads on butter with all the energy and almost the motion with which he would grease a rusty cog wheel or hot box.
