A TREMENDOUS, concerted, and
n well-considered effort is to be
made at the approaching session of

legislation looking to the creation of
a water route between the great lakes

The idea includes not only the i'm
provement of the Mississippi river,
but also the opening of a ship canal
between Lake Michigan, starting at
Chicago, and the Mississippi During
the week of October Z the lakes to
the gulf waterways convention it to be
held at Memphis, Tenn. President
Roosevelt will be the principal speak

great Importance to the whole Missis-

A BUDGET OF QUESTIONS.
Advice and Suggestions Contributed
by Madame Merri.

In introducing a young profession
al man should the ladies be presented
to him or vice versa? Does the age
of the ladies make any difference in
the above question. Is it proper for a
young lady to ask young man into
the house after seeing her home at
night, If they are but slightly &C
quainted? Is it necessary to ask him
to call?' JACK AND JILL.

This was done. and so cleverly was
the ruse carried out that Miss Brans.

father as she passed them:

pretty"
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1907-09-26

A man Is always presented to a
woman and the age of the woman
makes no difference. II the hour is
late it is not customary to ask an
escort to the house no matter how
well acquainted. 1t is not necessary
to ask man to call but it Is perfect
ly proper to say an evening that you
will be at home.

Ask your friends to come In cos
tune representing some one whose
birthday occurs In that month, or to
wear something Indicative of their
own birth month. For January the
stone is garnet; the especial days
would be New Years" and Twelfth
Night" There will be no dullness at
this party.
For refreshments have big birth
day cake with candles; good way
to arrange the candles is to put tho
cake on block of wood and stick the
candle holders in it so as not to mar
the frosting. Then for something diff
ferent in refreshments I would have
escalloped chicken or sweetbreads,
minced ham and olive sandwiches,
sailed pistachio nuts, molasses kisses
and macaroon ice cream. Grape juice
and coffee to drink, with doughnuts
for the men. / never knew a creature
of the masculine persuasion who did
not audibly express his pleasure at
the sight of fried holes" as young
ster of my acquaintance calls them.
To add zest to the occasion, you might
offer prizes for the costume or charac-
ter hardest to guess.
1t is very little more trouble to get
up costume party than to go in regu-
lation evening dress, and the pleasure
is infinitely more, from the fact that
every one is equally interested.

should ask each guest to bring a bit
Of needlework and picture of herself
taken at least % years ago. These
pictures when circulated will promote
conversation, and to the person guess

gramme of songs and instrumental
pieces, such as Flow Gently, Sweet

About the middle of the afternoon
pass grape juice punch made by flaw
oring grape juice with lemon, max
Inc very sweet and freezing. Just be-
fore serving place spoonful of whip

In the dining room have the table
lighted with candles and lady to pre-

Pass dainty chicken sandwiches,
olives, nuts, peppermint and small
cakes and waters. This is a great
sufficiency for an afternoon party.

HEADS SHAPED TO ORDER.
German Doctor Explains Causes ef
 Various Formations.

At a recent convention of German naturalists and doctors Dr. Watcher, Of Stuttgart. in an instructive paper put forth a sensational theory 10 ex- plain the formation of the shape o, the head Of infants He maintained that the head of child could be molded artihoially. He found by e@- perience that when a uedium-shaped head Is placed in soft cushion the child turns On it's back. or rests on the back of its head. ID order to free mouth nose and face. Ia this manner the head rests smoothly and a short head is developed But if the medium shaped head Of child is placed on a hard underreSt. Ike hair mattress or rolled carpet, the childs head turns aside as t cannot stand any more on it's head than an egg. for the muscle Of the back is weakened Therefore with continued resting on the side a long head is developed. To prove his assertions the lecturer pre- scented a child whose mother and sis ter are sho.t-headed. The child al it's birth had a short head. now after Is months it Is long skulled If the child had been placed on it's back, according 10 other experiences it's head would have been short-shaped Dr Watcher did not deny that the shape Of the head was inherited. bur asserted that f could De greatly influenced by the way the child rested.
