WOMEN WHO ARE
TOO CLEVER

Yes" said the very clever woman re-
Gently, 81 was rash enough to say some
thing to him which made him fear for the
moment that ] was brighter than he But
l made up for il the next minute by say
ing something so stupid that he was really
quite happy again
This sounds stupid. Really il shows deep
thought. For man is a vain creature at
heart. He likes a clever girl But the
moment he suspects that she is cleverer
than he. he is apt to stand in awe of
her. And awe and love do not go hand in
hand lust as man in his strength likes
to think women look up to him and lean
on him" so in mentality he also likes to
think he occupies a similar position to-
ward her. Just as no man wants to mar
~ an incUrable invalid, so no man wants
to marry a fool But few men want TO
marry women cleverer than themselves
any more than they care to marry women
who could pick them up and carry them.
But by all this I do not mean that the
clever woman should a bate one jot of her
heaven-sent cleverness. But she should
be clever enough not to let men see that
she is cleverer than they. A so-caIIed
smart retort. flare of unans werable
repartee. an assumption of superior edu-
cstion-any one OF these is apt to check
a stupid mans arAor. 1t is a dangerous
weapon in the lists of love. 1t is a good
servant but bad master.

Now turn the knot over so that the
short end of the lace is on the right

THE NEW LEATHER WORK.

Leather plating has become one of
the most fashionable occupations CT
the moment, and not 4 few women are
providing themselves with quite a store
of plated leather buttons which are to
take the place of those of professional
make on their sporting attire of all de-
scriptiOns Nothing looks better or
more serviceable on a rough country
coat than are these strong and work
manlike buttons, while for motor hats
and caps hatpins formed in the same
manner are the recognized wear, and
the fact that the entire stock in trade
consists of ordinary brown leather boot
laces costing a trifiing amount Will
render them exceedingly popular.
The modus operandi for the making
of leather hatpins is as follows: Take
one end of the lace between the thumb
and the first and second fingers of the
left hand, leaving a hanging end of a
few inches in length. Pass it round the

inserted into the cavity and the loops
frightened little by little, the two ends
being finally pulled
A small cobbIer's avn or an ordinary
button hook viii be found most useful
in Tightening the strands. The last
process is that of cutting both ends
of the lace. This must be accom-
plished with a sharp penknife, which
should be carefully inserted in between
the middle and the outer strands, near
est the end of the lace. and the cut
made at that point so that the severed
end is hidden. In ordinary cases rub
bling with the finger tips or a leather
will suffice to polish the lace. but a
good result is obtained by using a lit
tie brown polish.

TAGS COTTON SEED
 MEAL MEN MUST USE
Commisstoner Wflkinson Has Made Out Ferm That Must Be Observed
 by Manufacturer.

Commissioner of Agriculture J. A.. Wilkinson has finally decided on the exact style of tag which will be used on cotton seed meal bags next year. He stated that the law regulating the sale and classification of cotton seed meal will be strictly enforced. and that he will make personal examinations of the grades that are offered for gale un- der the present laws. { lao s7 f'Thers seems to be some confusion" {" he said. among the cotton seed oil mill people on the subject of tagging their meal. Under the new law. ap- proved November 22. 1907. cotton seed meal Is divided into three grades.
 High Grade" cotton seed meal em- braces all meal containing per cent or more of ammonia, and the Depart ment has ruled that the following tag must be used on this grade of meal:
 One hundred pounds High Grade cotton seed meal. manufactured by ', (narne of manufactures and location), !, guaranteed analysis:

 Medium Grade" cotton seed meal embraces all meal containing less than per cent and not less than ' 1-2 per cent ammonia. and the Department has ruled that the following tag must be used on this grade of mealsfs

 In case anything else should be used except hulls In making this low grade meal the material used. and the amount. must be given on the tag.
