suggestions for Mothers.

In all your intercourse with children,
remember these things: Learn to gov
ern yourself before you try to govern
them. Have reason to respect yourself
before expecting them to respect you.
Don't say in their hearing what you
wouldn't like to hear them say. Never
correct them when you are angry your
self. Pay not the slightest attention to
tale-bearing. They will learn politeness
and kindness and gentleness a thou
sand times better from your daily ex-
ample than from years of precept.

Mrs. Luther Gulick, wife of the not
ed educator, says that she would not
send her girls to college. She says that
she thinks there is reaction against a
college or university training for girls,
as hardly more than 90 per cent of
them marry after it. She thinks a
highschool education or its equivalent
is enough for girls, with some special
work afterwards in domestic science or
affiliated subject.

Ida Hustled Harper thinks it is very
foolish to think that marriages are
more unhappy today than they were
when it was thought a disgrace to get
a divorce. In those days women SUI
fered, now they sue for a divorce.
When married women are unhappy to-
day they let the world know it,
and it will be always a question of in
dividual opinion as to whether it is
better to suffer i'm silence or TO risk
a chance Of happiness by throwing off
a CALLING yoke.

What Would You Do.

What would you do if you are wom-
an and 40 and Obliged to earn your own
living. and should lose your position or
suddenly be thrown upon the world,
with no preparation for business? This
is a question that has brought out a
great deal of discussion, and it Is good
to see that many women of 40 and more
are ready with suggestions as to what
they would do if such thing were to
hammer to them.

times that girl can have is through

times that girl can have is through
the married women she knows. 1t
may seem good fun to bat around with
men, and some girls seem to think it is
a sign of cleverness to say that they do
not like women, but in the end these
girls don't have as much fun as those
who know women as we'll as men.
To lose good old friendship of a man
a girl has known many years simply
because he is married is a pity, and
many times quite unnecessary. A lit
tie tact and thoughtfulness will make
the wife quite as good a friend, too,
and instead of losing one by the change
girl will gain another.

This hat is one of the best-liked
models shown at several of the most
exclusive milliners'. The trimming is
very simple, and presents few difficult
lies to the home milliner. The model
was in fine white chip, trimmed with
large bow across the front in green
taffeta ribbon. A creamy-white rose,
with notified white and green foliage
was placed across the back at the base
of the crown. The hat was faced al
most to the edge with green taffeta.

TENN|STOURNAMENT
IN MADISON THIS
YEAR
South Dakota Association Will
Hold Big Meet-Are Max
ing Their Plans.

Sioux Falls. S. D.. April Great
interest is being taken by the tennis
players of South Dakota in the annual
tournament of the South Dakota Ten
mis- association. which will be held at
Madison the first week in July.
Sioux Falls and many of the other
towns will send large delegations to
this years tournament Two of the
old-timers, Philips and Dow OF this
cided to retire after having won the
state double championship for three
consecutive years. However, other
good players will take their places,
among them being Barton and Dix
of Sioux Falls, who will play together
again this pear after having made fine
records in the state tournament last
year.
In accordance with the power vest
ed in it, the committee in charge of
the arrangements for the coming
tournament has made change in the
balls to be used at this years tourna-
ment. In the past the South Dakota
association has used a particular kind
of ball. While it Is admitted by all
tennis players that the particular ball
in question is not so good as another
particular make of ball. the South
Dakota association has used it be-
cause of the favorable terms upon
which it could be purchased.
A change will be made this year
in the balls used. and it is believed
the change will give general satisfac-
ton. The change will be especially
gratifying to those members of the
South Dakota association who have
participated in tournaments at points
outside of South Dakota. as the ball
just adopted by the South Dakota as
sociatiop was used almost exclusively
in the outside tournaments.
The Sioux Falls players who parti-
cipated in the Sioux Falls tournament
last year declare they were greatly
handicapped on account of the balls
which were used. They had been ac-
customed to the kind heretofore used
by the South Dakota association,
which is a trife smaller and lighter,
and it took them some time to regu-
late their stroke to the larger and
heavier ball which was used in the
Sioux City tournament and which now
has been adopted by the association
in this state.

CHICAGO IS SORE
Break in Athletics Predicted
BY the Maroon Wiseacres
Just Now.

Chicago, April 2.-That Chicago and
Michigan will be strangers in football
again this fall is the present dope"
at the maroon university. The mid
way supporters have given up hope
of the much-heraldei resumption of
gridiron relations between the two
schools and are awaiting for an Off
cial announcement of a permanent
break as the result of the recent de-
velopment in the big nine situation.
In the opinion of the maroon root
ers, Michigan will be distinctly out
side the conference this year in pay
ment for her announcement that she
will disregard the ''big nine" rules in
regard to the playing schedule and
the eligibility provisions. and her ac-
tion in passing up of the "big four"
Her policy of silence and independ-
ence is known to be CALLING to the
Chicago officials and they are expect
ed to retaliate by severing all rela-
tons instead of turning the other
cheek.
Chicago Waiting.
The midway authorities have not
yet authorized a statement to this eff
feet, and 1t has been declared that the
maroon schedule was only being held
up awaiting an official announcement
from Michigan. Definite statements
of Michigan's attitude have been sent
out in all directions except to the
Chicago board of control. however, to
the effect that the wolverines will re-
main in the "big nine," and yet use
their own rules. This makes an i'm
possible condition. which nothing but
a break can clear up, say the maroons.
While Coach Stage has not an
nounced his intended action, he has
declared that Michigan will not be
given game unless she obeys the
"big nine" rules. The outlook for
Pennsylvania game is frightened by
this state of affairs, but the rooters
have been bowling for a Michigan go,
with the prospects of a fast and beefy
1907 eleven to back up their claims
for victory.
The Chicago complaints against
Michigan's attitude in turning down"
the "big four" are definite. They be-
Meved that Michigan would stick to
the agreement signed by Judge Lane
and Trainer Fitzpatrick, and they
were not prepared. to see the Wolver-
ines back out because they were not
able to use men who are ineligible
under the conference rules. The up
set Is a bitter dose for Chicago, for
Coach Stage should have a better
team than Yost this fall.
The only comparison now probable
will be in the scores of the Michigan
Pennsylvania game and the Chicago
Pennsylvania game. If it materializes.
November % had been held open
for Michigan. but this may go to
Pennsylvania" now. The Maroon
Minnesota game will take place at
Minneapolis November End. Indiana
and Illinois are already tentatively
scheduled. and there is a chance that
another eastern team may be taken
on for the fifth contest.
