THE KISS IN JAPAN.
One Western Idea That Is Popular
with Eastern Maidens.

She was Japanese college student,
little and thin, but very graceful in
her Paris gown.
'"The kiss" she said, blushing faint
ly, twas unknown in Japan so years
ago. Now, among the aristocracy, it
is becoming quite renowned.
"Yet it comes as a great shock at
first. 1t is so different, you know,
from anything in a Japanese girls ex-
perience. l have known maidens who
tainted at a first kiss that was per-
haps too warmly rendered. Yet these
very maids became afterward ardent
advocates of the new western en-
brace.
Frankly, like the kiss myself. It's
stimulus, and the feeling, as of red
satin, when mouth touches mouth
with warm, soft shock-yes, frank
ly, / like the kiss, and I find it ex-
tremely difficult to deny an eager
young man so innocent and so delight
lightful an embrace.

RHEUMATISM RECIPE
PREPARE SIMPLE HOMEMADE
MIXTURE YOURSELF.
Buy the Ingredients from Any Drug
gist in Your Town and Shake
Them in a Bottle to
Mix This.

A well-known authority on Rheu-
matism gives the readers of a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless
prescription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound. Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip.
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
ing vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
ularly for a few days, is said to over
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there a<e
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, ETC., some of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of even
the small towns elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
will mix the prescription if asked to.

Two chairs were pushed Hospitality

able and violent dislike for motors.
She won't even get into a car. Could

I'VE could try" said the Googans
Il tried everything" Mr.. Pike
stated. Il sold her carriage and pair
to force her to ride in the car But
she walks now"
What recreation does your wife
enjoy?" asked lilly.
Il am happy to say Mrs. Pike is a
regular home body" answered Mr..
Pike. Il can't stand for these women
whose sole aim in life is gadding
around amusing themselves"
Excepting when it is sharing your

several notes in book

tripped between the Misses Googan.
"And I don't know when I've enjoyed

awful good time yesterday at the

But we wish you would go with us

I've been busy entertaining company.

THE NEW WINTER FABRICS
Imported Materials More Exquisite ir
Color and Texture Than They
Ever Were Before.

Materials brought over by the
dress makers who have returned from
their busy pilgrimages to Paris are,
if possible, softer, more lustrous, more
exquisite in color and texture than
ever.
The velvets in particular invite at
tention and admiration. Some OF the
velvets are so wonderfully supple and
light of weight that they seem hardly
more bulky than the heavier crepes
de chine and in lustre and colorings
they are marvelously beautiful. Many
fancy velvets show stripes and checks,
but the one tone effects in plaid or
shaded weavings are particularly
smart and there seems no doubt that
velvets will have an unusually sue
cessful season.
A wolfe de sole in delicious shade
of new pink has deep skirt border
and narrower border for other trim
ming in a trailing vine and blossom
design of velvet exactly matching the
voile in color.
A delicate lavender blue chiffon
sprinkled with tiny velvet dots at
wide intervals is bordered by grad
uated velvet dots ranging in size up
to the diameter of a silver dollar. A
jade green crepe de chine has an eff
fective scroll border design of velvet
of the same tone.
Sheer materials are to hold their
own throughout the winter and in
deed are to be more than ever worn
for daytime purposes under the long
separate coats which will be one of
the most pronounced of the seasons
modes.

A Younu COMPOSER.

Rachel, aged y, wrote an compo-
sition on wild overs in which she
praised the arbutus, the liverwort,
the spring beauty, the blood root, and
all of the other blossoms of dell and

of her sheet of paper, and when she
asked her father, who was an editor,
to publish her article, he called her
attention to that fact.
