"JERKILY GOOD"

"Yes, Julia is good-usually, said
a young girl, who was running oyer
a list of acquaintances in search of
one who might be able and willing to
help her in some work she had under
taken. "If it happened to appeal to
her in just the right way, and just
the right mood she would be the best
of help, but that is what one never
can be sure of with Julia. She is so
-jerkily good"
She laughed little over the
phrase that came to her lips, but it
was an apt description. There is a
great deal of goodness-real good
ness in its way-that goes 0y fits,
starts and jerks, and cannot be de-
pended upon to run steadily and
smoothly. Its possessors sometimes
wonder why others do not confiGe in
them more, why their aid is not
oftener invoked in causes they are
willing to help. They know them
selves to be kind-hearted and we'll
meaning, but their prejudices and
unreasonabless, like their better i'm
pulses. are jerky, and no one can
be quite sure which will be upper
most.-Detroit News-Tribune.

Over Blouse or Jumper.

The over blouse with the kimono
sleeves is an unquestioned favorite,
as Is everything bearing the Japan
ese stamp. This one Is distinctly
novel, at the same time that it Is EN-.
inently simple and can be trimmed In
almost limitless ways. In the illus
tration 1t is made of champagne col
ored marquisette and istrimmed with
velvet ribbon, but in place of the lat
tice work of the velvet any banding
or applique can be employed so that
there is limitless opportunity for the
exercise of individual taste. The
waist is one of those very generally
useful ones that is adapted alike to
silk, wool and cotton and which can
be made suited to afternoon or morn
ing wear, as 1t Is finished in one way
or another and worn over one guimpe
or another. Made from some pretty
batiste or similar material with bands
of embroidery, it would be an exceed
ingly simple garment, suited to morn
ing wear, while as illustrated 1t is
really quite elaborate in effect.
The waist is made with fronts and
backs that are tucked at the shorl-
ders and gathered at the waist line.
The sleeves consist of straight bands
of the trimming that are Joined to
the arms-eyes. There can be cas-
ing applied over the waist line and
tapes inserted to regulate the size or
the waist can be arranged over belt
and closed invisibly at the back.

SHE KEPT ONE SECRET.

The old, old accusation against
woman that she cannot keep a secret
"A woman" said Miss Anthony, "can
keep an important secret as well as a
man. The secrets she reveals are
slight and harmless ones, such as any
man would reveal. Where is the
woman who ever tells a secret that
reflects on her husband or her own
children? I know a man who one
day refused to tell his wife the out
come of business transaction in
which, naturally, she took a deep
interest. No. he sneered, I won't
tell you. If l did you'd repeat it..
You women can never keep a secret.

GOOD THINGS TO LET ALONE.

There would be less talk about the
drudgery of farm life if only some
good, over-ambitious ladies knew
enough to let some good things alone.
Like Charles Lamb, they should look
over the enjoyable things of life and
say, "How many good things there
are that l don't want" instead of
trying to enjoy everything. Many a
woman tires herself out unnecessarily,
and the fact that she lives on farm
makes her think that it is the farm
work that is SO terrible. / know
many women in towns who are ner-
vous physical wrecks from overwork,
but few people talk about the deadly
monotony and grind of the cities.
Take flowers, for example. A
country home without flowers would
be dreary place, but there are some
country homes with flowers that are
dreary places. There are women who
daily and hourly fight with chickens
and pigs and stray cattle for their
plauts, because the yard Is not %.

SHE'S A CIVIL ENGINEER.

Miss Marion S. Parker, Detroit
girl and graduate of Michigan Uni
versity, is a civil engineer: She has
architects work on several New York
skyscrapers. She designed the Board
Exchange building in the Wall Street
section, a twenty-eight-story monster
that houses 5000 brokers, bankers
and corporation officers. She built
the Astoria, half of the Waldorf-As-
toria, the Whitehall building and a
dozen other notable structures. She
did nearly all the designing alone,
planning the steel work and every
thing from sub-basement to roof.

A DELIGHTFUL RETREAT.

Princess Maria of Rumania, wife
of the Crown Prince of Rumania, has
a most delightful retreat. 1t is a
nest built highup among the branches
of tall fir trees, and in it the princess
spent the greater part of last sum-
mer. The nest is miniature cot
tage, built for her by the King of
Rumania at Sinaia. A small stair
case gives access to it. Two rooms
and kitchen comprise the nest, and
they are furnished in a simple and
elegant way.

The Popular Colors.

Green is being cautiously restored
to favor, but it will be at first what
the merchants will describe as bronze
green, a color that may only be
donned with discrimination by the
average woman, even when carefully
designed for her. These still difficult
colors will retain the guimpe or yoke
waist in popularity, since something
is necessary to keep them from too
direct contact with the face.

and their teacher credit by the manner
i'm which they delivered their pare OF the
program. The decortions in pink and
light green were very pretty The invo-
cation was given by Rev. Seler and
county commissioner elect, Volney Il.
Hungerford, gave the diplomas. In his
remarks Mr.. Hungerford commended
the teacher the school board and the en-
tire district upon the success OF the even
ing's exercises. He SAID il they were
fair sample of the work done IN the ru-
raj schools he was proud to have been
elected commissioner of the county. de
urged upon the graduates the necessity
of a high school education, and advised
them to complete their education In col
lege if possible. At the close Eula
Chase in a neat little speech, presented
the teacher, Miss Mctarlin, with some
beautiful pieces of china and a leather
bound copy of Lucille, on behalf OF the
scholars. Altogether it was a memora-
BILE event in the lives of the graduates,

DIR. q. e King Died at Kalamazoo


DIR. King died at the Kalamazoo hos
pital, to which he had been removed, last
Friday afternoon, and an autopsy dis
closed a blood clot on the brain, which
was siad to have caused apoplexy. His
funeral took place from the Congrega-
tional church in Mattawan last Sunday,
the interment being in the Fitch Gem
etery. He was well known in this part
of Michigan, where he had practiced his
profession for over 20 years. He was not
only eminently successful in the practice
OF medicine, but was beloved by the peo-
pie amongst whom he had lived and
labored so long, as was singularly dem
onstrated by the outpouring of the peo-
pie for miles around to attend his funer-
al. Several prominent physicians from
Kalamazoo and other near by places
were present, and DIR. Jay mes, a class
mate, cane from Chicago to pay the last
tribute of respect to his memory.
The oldest inhabitants say it was the
largest gathering of people ever assem-
bled in Mattawan.

which have made the Emerson family

name will long be a household word with
the mothers and children in and about
Mattawan, where his presence IN the
sick room was so often an inspiration,
and where his intelligent treatment so
many times saved or prolonged life.
Few of his immediate relatives were
present at his funeral, but all in attend
ance were mourners, filed with emotions.

may have been his weaknesses they
should now be covered by the mantle of
