result. To be effective black hats
must be large and they must have
curling plunes and feathers to FULLY
carry out the regal appearance. When
ever such a style overweights the
wearer it should be strenously avoid
ed, and in such instances it would be
well for black to be foresworn for
dressy occasions, using matching
color or white, as small black hats
seldom mean anything like distlnc-
ton except for utility wear. The
heavy black lace, which is really the
imitation Irish dyed, Is handsome IN
combination with velvet, and there
are some of the most beautiful pos
sible plumes and feathers seen this
season. In many instances the hues
appear to be of phenomenal length,
but close examination shows the
feathers are not grown upon ostriches
of marvellous size, but the fues or
tendrils of one are knotted to those
of another, giving exceptional breadth
to the feather. One or more of these

on to the hair makes a trimming tAat
nothing else quite equals and the
black hats so treated are among the
most notable that the season has
brought forth.

MAKE HOME HAPPY
SHOULD BE MOST ATTRACTIVE
SPOT ON EARTH.
No Amount Of Time or Trouble Is
Too Much to Expend to Achieve
Such a Result for the
Children.

The successful home-maker ought
to be more than the good housekeep-
err, writes Mrs. Bobby Chiffon in the
Boston Herald. She must not only
keep the house in the hollow of her
hand in an economic and housewife
ly point of view, but must, too, have
the rare and beautiful gift of creating
a home into which every member OF
the family wants to bring their par
ticular friends.
A truly home-maker's house, Is a
place that looks cheerful the minute
one steps inside; an air that is quite
uneXplainable, and that never is stud
led, but one that just naturally
achieves itself out of the spirit that
~pervades and dominates the house.
And it's the spirit of a mother who
wants her own house the most attrac-
tive place there is, and a place that
is Hospitality open to the small noisy
friends of Billy and the l~ong-legged,
shy friends of Henry Augustus, and
sweet, quiet friends of the young
daughter.
The incest part of such a home,
too, is the close association OF all
these young people of various ages,
boys and girls, for there is no finer,

safer way of bringing up children
than closely together. There is a silly
little age Of both boys and girls when
they have a p%roneness to falling In
''calf-love." that may be easily slipped
cver in a household filled with
gay light-hearted youth who are like
ly to treat such tragic situations with
frank teasings.
It's an alliance good for the girls,
and particularly good for h boys.
It gives tbs m a point of view of each
other that follows them through life,
and makes each far more interesting
companions of any age.
Even If the having of sisters doesn't
in some one case prove the safeguard
for a youth that it's popularity suppos-
ed to be-and mostly is-then the re-
~membrance Of some nice little fem
mime comrade that he has always TAX
en- a boyish care of will keep him
from doing no end of follies that some
of the '.other fellows" do.
In his relations toward other young
girls, those, perhaps, whom his sis
ters are not by way of meeting, his
remembrance of the young girl friends
will be an influence to color his point
of view.
And then the girl who has been
thrown. all her short life with boys,
brothers and their chums, has a bet
ter perspective on masculine nature
than one who has not. Brothers are
usually more than frank on the ques-
ton of the foibles of their friends,
and decidedly critical of the ones his
sister plays around with" also she
hears the frank criticisms of other
girls that unconsciously color her own
attitude toward m%en-children.

CHILD'S PARTY WAS LOVELY.
Some New Ideas for Entertaining the
Little Ones.

At a child's birthday party, a pretty
table center was made with a bowl OF
goldfish set in a wreath of lowers.
The wreath was made of as many
small bouquets as there were chill
dren. each tied with narrow ribbons
with long ends.
After the refreshments were served
the children gathered around the ia
BILE and to each a ribbon was given.
At a signal there was a general pull,
and the pretty wreath broke up into
separate pieces, to the delight of the
youngsters.
The supper vas a model for the
RIO bouillon in cups, cream
chicken served in little paper cases,
with mock sandwiches, rolled and tied
with narrow ribbons, then a simple
lemon ice, served in small punch
mugs, a candied cherry in each mug,
and with this was handed round
homemade sponge cake, baked in
large roasting pan sheets and broken,
not cut, in generous pieces. Finally
came some gay notices and a few
bonbons.
The Tupelo journal., 1907-05-03

the catalogue seems, in some cases at
least, to be lower than the price
quoted at the local store. Isn't that
conclusive? Let's see. The catalogue
describes the goods and quotes a
price; maybe it gives a picture of the
article also, but you don't see the
goods. The local merchant shows you
the goods; you may examine them
critically; he may allow you to test
them or to call in an expert to advise
you. Is it fair to conclude that the
catalogue article is the cheaper just
because the price is lower?
An element that must enter into the
comparison of goods and prices is,
that In any attempt to fool the Gus
toner, the local merchant is decided
ly at a disadvantage. He must show
the goods, not merely describe them.
His business depends wholly upon the
limited trading area of his town and
his ability to inspire confidence within
that circle. He cannot afford to make
a practice Of misrepresenting his
goods.
The mail order house is not so tied
down to the maxim that Honesty is
the best policy" 1t has no neighbors,
no fellow citizens, no mutual interests
with it's patrons. Its trade area is
wide and always shifting. Naturally
these conditions do not demand extra
ordinary vigilance in supplying hon.
est-made goods. And where Vigilance
is not a needed employee in the bust
ness he is generally taken off the pay
roll, which makes a saving in expense,
as well as in the cost of the goods. If
lower prices are quoted by the cata-
logue house, may not this account for
it?
"Will it pay?" Is it a matter of
economy to buy inferior and damaged
goods when the same money, or even
a little more, will pay for goods of the
best quality? Which course does a
mans first duty to his own household
dictate?
But to get at the bottom of that
question, we must consider the far
reaching general effect of mail order
trading. If single catalogue houses
are to be capitalized at $40,0 Doc 900.
they must be reckoned with along
with Standard Oil, the beef trust and
railroad mergers. If they are allowed
to suck the blod from our country
towns, your grandchildren will find
conditions much the same as those of
your grandfather's time. Their mar
kets will be 80, so or rs miles away.
The towns and villages will be de-
serted, and the "hubs" will be too dis
tant to send the radiating spokes of
rural mail, telephone lines and other
modern conveniences far into the
country.

tage. And this brings rs 20 the sec.
ond point in the argument-the para
question in this commercial
age-"Will it pay?"
BY most people an affirmative an
swer to that question is accepted as
the call of duty. AS a matter OF TACT,
twill it pay?" is a good test to apply
to any project or proposition. There
are commercial, as well as political,
demagogues, and the mar who is ap'
pealed to on the score Of patriotism
or profit, duty or dollars, a scarcely
do better than to sit down by himself
and submit that question-"WiH' 1t
pay?"-to his W best Judgment.
Provided always, thai he goes TO the
very bottom of it.
/ believe that every nan ought TO
know why he does SO and so. TOO
many of us travel in ruts. We get the
habit of buying certain goods or trad
ing at certain places when we might
do better by changing. This will ap-
ply sometimes to people who trade at
home as well as to those who buy
abroad. 1t is always well to i%nvesti-
gate. / have known people to make
expensive trips to the city to buy
goods that the village merchant would
have sold them for less money. They
hadn't taken the trouble to investi-
gate.
What are the relative advantages OF
buying at the local store and ordering
from a catalogue house? Advantages,
understand, that figure in the ques-
ton, "yVill it pay?" Don't get away
from that question. 1t certainly is
very comfortable to sit down by your
own Preside and select a dress pattern
or a sulky pillow from a printed des-
cription and a picture of the article;
much more comfortable, in fact, than
hitching up and driving to town on a
raw day.
A consideration more important,
perhaps. is that the printed price in

The German empress has been

hunts (and Willy, by the way, makes
a speciality of capturing young eagles
alive) has written the following &C
count OF the days experience:
We started long before dawn, for we
had a long and arduous climb to make,
over colossal rocks, dangerous glaciers
and yawning abysses, before we could
hope to reach the eyrie heights where
the eagles nest.
At last we reached a cliff where
Willy halted the party and bade us
hush, while he crept to the edge, and
leaning cautiously over, scanned the
shelf of rock at some distance below.
An uplifted finger both warned and
beckoned us. With infinite care we
crept to the edge and looked down.
There was a nest with a couple of
eagles just the age to have shed their
white baby down and begin to put on
soft feathers. Beside the nest, on the
sun-warmed shelf of rock, stood the
mother eagle, performing her morning
toilet. 1t was a charming sight! But
we had work before us, and alas! had
one cruel thing to do!
While the rest of us held him, Willy
aimed carefully. Crack! went the gun,
and zip! flew the bullet straight to the
eagles heart. She leaped far out in
air, gave her wings a mighty flap, then
sank straight as a plumb line out of
sight into the ravine below.

After this came the daring work.

VOGUE OF THE BLACK HAT.
Il May Be Worn With Costumes of All
Kinds and Coiors.

No memory of recent fashionable
weddings fingers in the mind with
greater persistence than the preva-
lence of the big black hat worn with
costumes of all colors. In some in
stances it is of velvet. in others 1t is
of lace. again it is of the two COM
bined, but always it is luxuriantly
trimmed with feathers and plumes
and always it is big and picturesque
in style; worn by the woman to whom
such shapes are becoming, it unques-
tionably makes a smart and striking
effect and even gives a note OF charac-
ter to a pale tinted costume, without
which it would fail Of making any
real effect.
Yet there is danger of such a fash
ion being overdone and there are
some colors with which matching hats
are infinitely to be preferred, while
again there are a great many women
who attempt to wear these big, dash
ing models to whom they are not suit
ed and who fail to achieve any good

your farm? The accessibility OF q
market. You know what your grand
father did on that same farm? Drove
his hogs and hauled his grain 80, 80,
maybe rs miles to the nearest market
town, and received prices for them
that would make you howl about the
trusts. And he hauled back the fam
lily supplies for which he paid what
you would consider monopolistic
prices. Do you happen to know what
the old farm was worth then? Well,
it lacked a good deal of being SIS or
500 an acre.
Yes. the home town, with its handy
market, has advanced the value OF
your property and made you worth
several thousand dollars more than
your grandfather was worth. The
home town affords schooling for your
children, and perhaps social and
church privileges which your family
would not otherwise enjoy. The rural
mail routes and telephone systems,
radiating from the home town, as
spokes from a hub, bring to your
home the greatest conveniences OF
modern times.
What would your farm be worth
and how many of these advantages
would you be enjoying now, if the
city from which that mail order cata.
logue came were your nearest market,
your most accessible trading point,
your only post Office and social center,
the only place to which you could look
to connect you with the outside
world?
Have you ever noticed that the first
thing the settlers of a newly-opened
reservation do is to send for a wagon
load of mail order catalogues? Well,
haven't. They lay out a town site
every six or eight miles, start two or
three general stores, build a school
house, a church, a blacksmith shop, a
grain elevator, petition the depart
ment for a post office, and start a
newspaper. They know, from former
experience that, with these things
close by, life will be endurable, what
ever hardships may come. They know,
also, that without them they must live
lives of isolation and endure an exist
ence that is contrary to all natural
human instincts.
On the other hand, it goes without
saying, that the average country town
cannot exist without the support of
it's tributary territory. Then, if that
town affords the advantages for the
rural citizen that have been enumerat-
ed, there exists what we may call an
interdependence and a moral obliga.
ton between the two. Are you, Mr..
Thrifty Farmer, living up to that OBJ
iigation when you do your trading
with the mail order house?
To this line of argument the farmer
may answer that his greatest obliga-
ton, his first duty, is to his immediate
household, and that among the duties
to his family and to the heirs of his
estate is that of practicing judicious
economy-buying where he can buy
the cheapest and to the best adyan-

MAKE BABY A BATH BLANKET.
Heavyweight Wool Flannel Best Ma
terra! for the Purpose.

One of the most useful articles for
the layette is the flannel blanket for
baby's bath. The bath blanket is not
only an apron for the protection of
the mothers gown, but also a soft
warm wrap to enfold the delicate lit
tie body of the infant as it is taken
from the tub.
These blankets are usually made Of
a good, heavyweight wool flannel, and
two yards of material is required.
Double the goods, which gives two
lengths of one yard each.
Make a tuck an inch deep where
the flannel is folded over, and run
through it inch wide wash ribbon of
any preferred color, having it suffi-
GENTLY long to tie around the waist
when in use. The edges of this blan-
ket apron may have a binding of
wash ribbon corresponding in color to
the waist ribbon, or they may be sim
ply buttonholed with wash silk.
