EUROPE'S HAPPIEST PEOPLE.
From Their Adherence to the Home
Country the Swiss Take
the Palm.

If it be in harmony with ones sui.
roundings to work and to thrive
little and to rear children, to have
liberty and security and be tolerant
and self-respecting constitute any
measure of happiness, then the Swiss
are by all odds the happiest people in
Europe. Such, says writer in Every
body's, is the judgment of all observ-
ers that have been much among them.
You can test it by a single reference.
From every other nation in Europe
there is emigration; from Switzerland
little or none. At all times about 30O,-
900 Swiss are in foreign countries,
learning languages or methods of COM
bining travel with work, but they
come home. The typical Swiss never
thinks of making permanent residence
outside of Switzerland. or, If once
thinking so, he changes his mind when
he makes trial thereof.

FOURTH or JULY FAvORS.
What to Present Ones Guests on This
Gala Occasion-Sweet Peas Ar
ranged as a Flag.

Fourth of July favors are now In
order. Simple favors are quite as
charming for such an occasion as
elaborate and expensive ones. The
principal thing to be considered is
that the favors are not like those to
be had at all or most of the shops,
that they are new, pretty and mex

First among thes favors comes the
Liberty Bell, which stanch old en-
blem of our national liberty has now
been reduced to the proportions of a
candy or ice cream box.
The liberty cap which is shown in
the picture is made into little pin
cushion or sachet and may be made
of bunting, silk, satin or paper in the
national colors.
The shield decorated box in the
illustration is for candy. The box is
white satin one and is hand painted.

ceedingly neat and attractive this

A story which illustrates this is told
Of the late COL H. G. Toler, the noted
horseman, who died in Wichita. A Ken

said: "Col. Toler raised John R. Cen

A rich tailor once brought him to see

been paid. The tailor was full of en-

THE BECOMING coLORS.
What Is "Artistic" for Blonde and
Brunette, and for Her That
1s Neither One.

Blue for the blonde and red for the
brunette, with, to use an expression, II
slangy phrase, any old color for the
woman who is neither the one nor the
other, but sort of nondescript, seems
to be the only hard and fast rule.
Never mind If the blonde has pink and
white skin, with gray-green eyes, in
which no hint Of blue may be noted.
blue is selected for her, and wear it
she must, ironically comments writer
in the st. Louis Globe-Democrat. AS
matter of taste, she should instead
wear pale green, deep brown, cerise,
blue, pink and black, with any blue
that is selected at all, either navy
or bright turquoise. Yellow for
such type makes an ideal gown for
evening, and so will white over green.
There is mauve, with pink lights,
that becomes this complexion also.
II the eyes Of such blond are blue
or violet, still she will not look her
best in the pale blues; let her instead
wear heliotrope, pink, purple, green in
the lightest shades; white or black,
crimson and mauve. A dark red
brown will also be very becoming and
one shade of gray.
The real brunette, with dark eyes
and hair and plenty of color, has a
large choice, except in black, which
is rarely becoming. Cream, yellow,
Indian red, ivory tints, deep and pale
blues, cardinal red, all the tans, coral
pink, fawn color, putty and the terra
cottas; old rose and rose pink, all
are becoming with pale blue, white
and pale green, for evening wear.
What Is called a fair brunette"
where the skin is delicate and the
eyes violet or dark blue and the hair
dark brown, must be careful in select
ing strong colors that will kill her
delicate complexion. No such choice
as bright yellow or vivid red, but rath-
er the less pronounced shades of
both, and all maize, golden browns,
silvery blue.
And the girl who is decidedly
"brown," like the nut, must use GER
tain colors that will bring out he1
coloring best. Warm grays, like the
puce; red browns, rose red, nastur-
tium, ecru, apricot color, peach bios
som, amber in it's tawny tones and
ivory white are all good for her.
Where the hair is neither light no1
dark, the eyes sometimes hazel, more
times blue and again gray or blue
gray, great attention must be paid to
the coloring Of the skin; If that is clear
pink and white, all the shades OF
mauve and purple are good, and also
the blues with green in them, and the
greens with blue lights. On the other
hand, If the skin is sallow, such colors
are not becoming.

TRUE JAPANESE COURTESY.

many of the old leaders of rebellious,
old upholders Of the Shogunate; the

ford Fraser in the Worlds Work.
Prince Tokugawa, proud, silent, grim,
sat opposite to me, and I wondered If
any human emotion could show itself
on that impassive face. At that mo-
ment the emperor raised his glass and
bowed in kindly smiling fashion to his
ancient opponent. The face changed,
was suffused for one Illuminating mo-
ment with a glow Of responsive fire.
1t seemed as If the emperor were once
more thanking the Shotgun for his
splendidly patriotic act, when, after
years of struggle, he voluntarily laid
his power and his prerogatives at the
emperor's feet "for the good of the
country" and as If Prince Tokugawa.

In Worlds Work, French Strother

tation is taken: "Thus we swing the

APPROPRIATE SOUVENIRS.

pensive when bought at the confec-
toner's.
Fan favors are perhaps more attrac-
tive than any other, especially as last
seasons fad for collecting all sorts
of small, inexpensive fans is raging
more fiercely than ever this season.
The fans can easily be made at home.
They may be of stiff paper, tissue pa.
per, silk, satin, etc. A simple souve-
mir fan of the day could be made by
decorating a white paper fan with the
national colors, having red and white
stripes for the lower half and a de-
sign of white stars on a blue ground
as a border. This decoration may be
painted on the fan if one is sufficient
ly skilled to do this, or stars and
stripes may be cut from colored paper
and pasted on. White gauze fans and
those of white paper or satin are also
attractive with flag decoration,
either of one large flag or of two
6ags crossed, painted across the Gen.
ter or on the side sticks. An exceed
ingly attractive decoration for a
Fourth of July fan is also made of
ribbon. Ribbon work is very popular
this year on all articles Of dress, and
a fan trimmed with ribbon work,
while calling for quite lot of work
on the part Of hostess, would at the
same time be most acceptable souve-
mir.
It is perhaps because so few flow
ers of the same variety produce them
selves in both a desirable shade of
blue and Of red that the sweet pea
is hailed with delight as Fourth of
July decoration.
For the decoration of Fourth Of
July dining tables the sweet pea is
used in many ways. One clever
hostess has planned this year to have
a large, low bed of the flowers in the
center of her table, arranged exactly
in the design and colors Of the Amer
lean flag. Then, as the guests leave
the table, the flag will be broken up,
and each will carry off bunch Of the
flowers in one of the three colors.

attention to keep it in good condition
as the face. You cannot expect to
make it white, remove the lines. and
fill out the hollows in a few days,

at least once a day before retiring

be developed by turning the head on

right to left and back again. Spong-

Is the earth made up Of three con.
centric spheres? A physicist says that
such Is the case. The solid nucleus he
supposes to be between 5000 and 1000
miles in diameter and this is surround
ed by liquid substratum, outside Of
which is the crust, variously estimated
at seventy to 200 miles in thickness.
More than two centuries ago a similar
theory, including the slow rotation Of
the inner solid sphere on a different
axis from that Of the entire globe,
was held by DR.. Edmund HALEY to &C.
count for the changes in the earth's
magnetism. The axis of the nucleus
was thought to have been originally
that Of the entire globe and to the
change of it's course was attributed the
deluge. The earth's internal heat, it Is
now pointed out, may be accounted
for by the friction of the differently
rotating bodies.
