WHERE FEMININE FANCY LIGHTS

"Miss''' and 80 smart,' as an English
word that has defied the ordinary rule
of degradation and risen enormously in
the scale Of pleasantness. It is from
the Latin "nescius,' and originally
signifed ignorant. To, Chaucer it reg
ularly meant foolish" wise and moth
ing nice" In spencer's time it still
meant effeminate.. But the elevation of
the word has been more gradual than
that. Of FtMiss'' or "tsmart.' From
general foolishness there was probably
first specialization to foolish fussi-
ness about trifes. Then the idea of
foolshness: dropped out, and the word
meant particular about details, accu-
rate. It was creditable to be mice -
observer or to show 'snice " Judgment.
And SO in the end the positively agree
able meaning evolved. sGSz 81. So

To make peach cup, pare and stone
enough peaches to make pint of pulp
when the fruit is passed thru sieve
or potato ricer. TO this pulp add one
cup Of sugar, the juice Of one lemon
and one pint Of rich cream. Have
ready chilled four or five choice, mellow
peaches. Pare and cut these into small
pieces. Add two oranges, chilled,
peeled, seeded and cut in small pieces,
and two small and ripe bananas, peeled,
scraped and cut in small pieces. Mix
the fruit with one-third cup Of sugar.
Part of a ripe pineapple may be used
instead Of the bananas. While it adds

spoonful or more Of the peach ice
cream. Finish with finely chopped
pistachio nuts or a maraschino cherry.

Get Busy and Forget Thermometers
BY POLLY PENN,

Do you feel hotter when you keep
busy, or when you lounge around try
ing to keep cools
A little group of men were studying
a thermometer. on the street, one Of
these hot mornings. AS they watched
the mercury mounting above ninety
they took off their hats and famed
themselves and grew redder in the face.
"1t g too hot for any man to work
today said one. .'..5..s: -.
Fellow ought to take holiday this
kind of weather. grumbled another.
"Look at that fellow. =
He pointed to a driver who had
halted his team by the curb and was
stretched on the front seat, doing.
His face was scarlet and the perspira-
tion rolled over it. He didn t look cool.
But he was idle, and that, to some,
epitomizes the best method Of keeping
COOL $751;:
Now here is the other side:
~ was never hotter in my life than
yesterday said woman. 81 hadn It
a thing to do and just lay around all
day, trying to keep cool. I intend to
get busy today and forget the heat"
And that's the true side Of the sub
ject.
A good deal depends, of course, on
what you are doing. These are not
good days to dig bitches or shovel coal
on a furnace, and heaven pity the un-
fortunate ones who have to do such
things.
But ordinary work in the ordinary
environment Of Office, shop or home,
where there are such cooling devices
as are commonly employed to make the
heat at least bearable, is really bless
ing, and if you don't think so, sit
around idle day OF. two when the
thermometer is at ninety-fve, with
nothing to think of but the heat, and
you III wonder why you feel SO warm.
Nothing can so easily make us forget
| physical discontinue as an occupation
for the mind. There is a lot Of truth
in the Christian Science doctrine Of
the. superiority Of mind over matter.
Only, instead of saying that matter
does not exist, admit that it does ex-
list, and-forget it.
No man in his senses can say it
isn't hot when the thermometer says
ninety degrees in the shade. It is hot
fendishly, horribly hot. But the less
/ he does say about it the less he will
be likely to feel 1t, and the sooner he
gets down to his little appointed task,
the less time he will have to think
about it.

Democratic Campaign VIII Open on
June so.

There will be no meeting of the Demo-
cratic state central committee until June
80 and it viii be at Fort Scott where the
first big rally of the campaign will be
held. This information was given to-
day by W. H. Ryan, chairman of the
central committee, who was in town for
a short time on his way to Minneapolis.
During the last few days there has
been gossip around to the effect that a
meeting OF the committee would be held
in this city on June To- but Mr.. Ryan
said today that there was no necessity
in his mind for meeting until the big
gathering at Fort Scott on June 30.
This rally promises to be one Of the
largest gatherings of the Democrats
that has been held in this state in years
On that date the Bourbon county Dem
ocrats will hold their county convention
All of the candidates on the state ticket
will be there and Senator Harris, the
gubernatorial nominee, and David
Overmyer, candidate for attorney gen
eral will address the convention in the
afternoon. In the evening there viii be
a big banquet, the principal speakers at
which will be the other candidates on
the state ticket.
"As each day passes said Mr.. Ryan.
the prospects for success this fall grow
more encouraging. I am receiving let
ters from all over the state announcing
tAAcsL LAAS O0%SEOnAGL o--AAAAAACAAL ~ az
classes of voters for the Democratic
ticket is becoming stronger all the time
Considerable interest is being awaken
ed in the formation of the Harris clubs
and a number of them have already
been organized. Many more will be.
They will be formed as fast as the eoun-
ty conventions are held and We expect
great results from them
Mr.. Ryan will stop in Topeka on his
return from Minneapolis and 1t is ex-
pected that w H. L. Pepperell, the sec
rotary of the committee, will be here
soon for q few DAYS
