The Newest Fabrics.

New and fashionable colors being
displayed on the silk and velvet coun-
ters reflect hues of precious and semi
precious stones. Among the attractive
mineral colors are m%alachite deep
blue), azurite (blue and green), rho
donite (pink or flesh red) and zoisite
deep rose); this last hue is some
times described as thule, and is an ok
quisite shade of rose that looks par
ticularly well in face cloth and soft
velvets such as are being used for
toilettes. Going over the list of un.
usual new shades one would think

TO MARK THE 'KERcHIEF.
Use of Small lndelible Stamp is the
Best Method.

Marking handkerchiefs with a sim
pie initial is extremely confusing, es-
pecially when the washing is
sent to the laundress outside of the
house. A good plan to avoid this IS
to mark with both or all three initials,
or, better still, with the entire name.
This, however, is u~npleasantly con
%spicuous.
A better way is to secure a small
indelible stamp of the name, and to
stamp the center of each handkerchief
so that the marking is never in sight
except when it is needed.
Another plan, adopted in a family
of three daughters is to use a system
of eyelets in the corner-one eyelet
for the eldest daughter. two for the
second, three for the third. The plan
works like a charm, for the family
initial on the parents handkerchiefs
are, of course, easily recognizable
from the difference between the size
of mems and women's handkerchiefs.
Finally. one girl who boards alone
marks each of her handkerchiefs with
large and plain x, confident that no
one else will claim that initial.

BEST CORSET COVER
STYLES MUST BE SELECTED TO
SUIT FIGURE.
For the Stout Woman the Low-Busted
Garment Is the Best No
Loops or Bows for the
Shoulders.

For stout figures having small busts,
as is often the case, the rather low
busted corset should be worn, and the
bust should be thrown out as much as
possible, to balance the rest of the
figure.
To confne a too fieshy bust with the
old style corset top there are various
corset sewers, to be drawn tightly over
the chest. which give firmness to and
confine %too-rotund outlines. One of
these is shown in one of the cuts ac-
companying this text. The tie ends
may be drawn as tightly as one
p~leases, but instead of being pulled
crosswise one end should be drawn up
toward the chin and the other toward
the ties, and when the cover is tight
enough the final tie may be given.

men without trade or profession. Look
into any state penitentiary, and you
will ordinarily find that at least one
third of the convicts there confined
are young men. ranging In age from 18
to 25 years, and that nearly all of
these came into prison absolutely
without the knowledge of any useful
and gainful occupation. Comparative.
ly few OF the younger class of felons

writes Thomas Speed Mosby, Nilsson

ception, young men who have not APP

and the w~ell-to-do. Why are they
there? The answer is given by Gus
tave Marx. one of the Chicago car
barn" bandits, who recently died upon
the gallows; 1T wasn't drink that

cigarettes. 0 bad companions, either.
IL was just idleness. Idleness led me
first TO cigarettes. then to drink, then
to bad companions-then to the gal
lows. And | blame my folks. II they
had made me remain at work, work
would have kept ME too busy to have

Is the story that fits them all. First,
idleness; then cigarettes and drink, to
blunt the moral sense and destroy the
will; then living beyond ones means
then indulging the riotous excessos
that spell ~debauchery and make for
ruin. And may they not rightly blame
their folks as did Gustave Marx?

The post of housekeeper is termnable 1t a months notice, but the i'll

men who do this are not necessarily bad husbands; they are sometimes
thoughtless, sometimes thrifty. They do not even realize the cost of keep

degraded, and when the fervid spirit makes a dash for deliverance the
laws men make for men rise up like an impossible barrier between the
woman and her hearts desire.

the position of the wife who has a "dot" She can hand back the money

Amnlltes re two souls, two spiritual beings, each having a like
nature, like abilities, and possessing the same quality of love. They are
one whole, separated at birth and incomplete until joined again in mar
.riage. No discord, no opposite thinking or feeling must exist between
them. An affinity must be the "other half-the spiritual complement
of our souls.
Perfect health is necessary for IN affinity. True love is also necces-
sary. If these do not exist there can be no affinity. The mind must
be pure, the thoughts must be spiritual, above material planes, and must
come from a mind that is wholly devoted to love and sacred faithful
ness.
There can be no successful marriage unless the principals are af-
hnties to some degree. The greatest crime of the world at present is
the lax marriage laws. The greatest obstacle to the worlds progress
is the easy manner in which two people may marry, live together and
