OF Interest to Women

Parasols that match or harmonic
with ones gown are more generally
used this year than ever before
This is, of course, an expensive fas-
hion, but fortunately there are to be
found many lovely models in linen
and silk that are very reasonable in
price, and it is far better to have half
q dozen of these in different colors to
match ones gowns than oily one or two
very handsome and expensive sun
shades.
At recent wedding the brides gifts
to her attendants were dainty pink
silk parasols with the bride and
groom's monogram in gold on the
handles. They were very pretty and
were carried by the bridesmaids in
stead of flowers.
This season sees the return to favor
of bracelets, due undoubtedly to the
vogue of elbow sleeves. and never
were they more becomingly worn that
when the bare wrist and lower arm
offer such an excellent excuse for
showing off handsome jewelry.
Flexible bracelets. such as chains
and links, are more popular than stiff
bracelets, but both are worn, and both
are inset with semi precious stones
A gold chain bracelet set with good
stones of this description costs from

trains to run oftener would be an i'm
provement alone, and not such cost
ly one. Much complaint has been
heard of this one feature of the Chau-
tauqua and 1t Is such an important
one, too, to the business man or in
fact any of the visiting Chautauquans.
Taking the Chautauqua this year
as whole. though, one can say it
has been very successful one. There
are, of course, many things that can
be remedied for the comfort and con-
venfence of the people. The hotel
accommodations are not of the best.
As good. maybe, as that at many re-
sorts OF the same size and age, but
still visitors would like it much I'M
proved.
The sanitary conditions are poor and
the water supply has been inadequate,
and the order, where one could not say
at any time it was disorderly, could
he bettered by set of rules printed
and posted in conspicuous places in
the rooms for order and quiet after
certain hours. The walls are very
open and each football and word can
be heard in all the rooms and cor
ridors. This is all right in the day
time. but at night certain rules for
quiet in entering, ETC., could be made
that would greatly add to the COM
fort of people coming out here. as
many do, for day and nights rest.
The history of the Chautauqua has
been marked for its orderliness, no
loose characters are allowed on the
grounds, no liquor to be either carried
IN or sold. and no boisterOus conduct.
More rooming accommodations are
needed also. This year, MANY even
1ngs, great numbers of people have
been turned away and had to return
to the city to seek lodging. The direc-
TORS. and the greater number of the
seven have been on the grounds most
OF the session and have done every
thing in their power to make the
visitors happy and comfortable. At
times, though, those here have been
too much rushed to be able to sue
cessfully keep things going as they
should. All of these things can be
with little trouble remedied.

a popular meeting of the Chautau-
qua association was called ON Monday
In the auditorium. A number of the
directors were present and many peo-
pie who are interested. The affairs
of the association were discussed at
length and complaints and compli-
ments listened to. Many new ideas
were brought out that will be of MAJ
terial benefit for another year. First.
the ticket question was discussed and
by next year the directors hope to
have different system from the one
now in use inaugurated. BY the pres
cnt ticket system the collectors find
1t hard to keep track of the people.
A system of badges has been pro-
posed and it is thought will be in
effect before next year.
Various needs of the association
were then discussed. A cement floor
is needed badly in the auditorium
This will cost in the neighborhood of
five or six hundred dollars. There
are no funds available at this time
for this. SO j. w. Richter of Sheyenne,
one of the directors and one who has
the interest of the Chautauqua asso-
citation much at heart. has volunteered
to put in this floor for the present at
his own expense. Sometime during
the next session a popular entertain
ment it is hoped of some kind will be
given. small admittance charged, and
the proceeds devoted to remunerating
MIR. Richter as much as possible.
The program and its various needs
was discussed. This years program
has without doubt been an exceptional
one from an entertaining standpoint.
Many have said, though, more popular
lectures should have been added and
more varied program This years
program, while exceptional in some
of the talent brought here (most of 1t
has been of the best, has had much
similarity to the programs of previous
years.
A resolution was offered to tax the
lot owners In the park one dollar for
each lot for cleaning and care during
the year. This resolution was unani-
mously carried and this tax will make
fund that will enable the directors
to keep the brush cleared and the
park In better condition than formerly.
The directors say this years at
tendance has been twenty-five per cent
better than that of any previous year.
There has been no big days like often
In previous years, but the attendance
mas been steady and more campers
nave come and remained during the
whole session. The excursions as they
came have been disappointment
from day to day. 1t is hoped by an
other year great improvement can
be made in the Guantanamo short1;na

Hints to Nervous Women.

There are many things a neuras-
thenic woman can do which will
mitigate the severity of her symptoms,
and perhaps, If the disease is slight,
she may recover without the inter-
ventiOn of her physician. IN the first
place. the original trouble, worry or
anxiety which was responsible for her
nervous breakdown must be done
away with, or, if this is impossible.
she must school herself not to care, or
else remove herself to new scenes and
surroundings where her mind will not
be harassed. Peace OF mind will do
more to restore shattered nerves than
almost anything else. The next thing
is to make the bodily health as good as
it can be made under the existing cir
cumstances and surroundings Sleep
and rest are absolutely essential to
recovery, and the sufferer should do
all she can to secure both. Narcotics.
to produce sleep, are not to be thought
of. They do not cure anything, and
their continual use can only be pro-
ductive of harm. Tranquillize the
mind. Danish by force of will unpleas-
