LIMITATION OF EULoGIEs.

The press of Denver is advocating a law for the limiting of utterances at funerals to mere expressions of sym pathy. and the elimination of all re- marks laudatory of the late departed. In support of the proposition an in cident cited by the Dresden. Germany. Post is mentioned That veracious journal tells of an incident in which the officiating clergyman was requesh ed to make his remarks brief. He complied, confining his eulogy or the dead man to the conventional remark that the deceased was @'an exemplary husband and father" As a painful matter of fact, the subject of the eu- logy was known to everybody present, except the parson. to have been di- vorced and to have had no children. If the question is not settled promptly. the issue might be inserted as plank in the platform to be adopted by the forthcoming national democratic con- venticn at Denver.

REWARDS FOR EFFICIENCY


 Rewards for especial efficiency, in stead of fines and punishment for in- efficiency, is as wholesome a practice for any business concern as 1t is for disciplinary organizations, from the humble home to the crowded public institution. The purpose of the Pull man company thus 10 recognize dis tinguished faithfulness on the part of its conductors and porters Is notable because of the magnitude of the dis pensation in dollars and cents. The first distribution of an extra months pay to upwards of four thousand of these employees carried nearly one hun dred and seventy-five thousand dol lars. Hereafter, is is announced clean years record will result in thir- teen months pay for the years work; and it is creditable to the army of car employees that so large a proportion was eligible to share in the first dis tribution. The example set by the company may, further, be expected to work to steel the nerves of timid pas sengers and encourage them to tip only when they get service that may reasonably be accounted as worth a lip.

MIR. sHAw's IDEAL PRESIDENT.

MIR. SHAW'S IDEAL PRESIDENT.
 The statement of former Secretary Shaw yesterday that he would like to see J. P. Morgan president of the United States, voiced an idea that probably never occurred to anybody before. Much as NIT. Morgan has been in the public eye for score of years, perhaps no one had ever associated him with the presidency. But wheth CT he would make a good president or not. there are obvious reasons why he will never be given an opportunity to prove that he is of presidential stature.
 Yet MT Morgan for a brief period of about sixty days. within a very re- cent period, was more than president. From the moment the country passed into the acute stage of the panic. MT. Morgan set up a government of his own, took hold of the toppling pros perity, prevented its further toppling, and was in fact the dictator of the United States, the first it had ever had. He held the country in the hol- low of his hand. For the moment. the politicians and demagogues. frighten- ed at the crash which resounded on ev- cry side, stood aghast, preserving si- lence. the first restful silence the country had enjoyed for months. To that extent they assisted Dictator Morgan in the work of rehabilitation That is, they did not interrupt him. When there had been as nearly a com plete a restoration as was possible, Mir Morgan resigned the dictatorship and resumed the privacy of a mere finan- cial magnate and the politicians and demagogues resumed their wonted noisy vacations.
 AS a quieter of public alarm MT. Morgan proved a success, but more than a quieter of public alarm is need ed, since a state of alarm is not sup posed to be a normal condition of the country. Whether MT. Morgan would be able to discharge the natural func- tions which attach to the office of president is prOblematical His states manship has been proved in only one instance and in only one direction.

Boxes for Picture Cards.

NVYITH the present craze for picture
w postals and the large number of
them that most girls collect, it has
become an important question how to
keep them in a convenient way for show
ing them. OF course the ordinary way is
the postal card album, and when one
wants to keep a special record of pleas
ant trip this is perhaps the best way. But
the albums are rather bulky, and some
times one wants to keep postals that
have been sent by travelling friends and
have no connection with one another.
A particularly convenient and compact
way to take care of these is to have g
pretty box on ones table, just deer
enough for the pOstals to stand on edge
Any box of the right size can be used, but
the best are divided into compartments
SO that part of the cards can be taker
out without having the others fall over
In these divided boxes the cards can also
he arranged according to some system
which will make it easy to take out just
the ones that are wanted.
In this way very large number Of
postals can be kept IN small space anC
the owner can enjoy them herself anC
also let her friends share the pleasure
And the box itself may be most charm
ing ornament for tie table, for there arr
many kinds of beautiful boxes made
carved or inlaid wood, brass, silver O

Dainty Coat Hangers.

COVERED coat hangers are a matter
of economy as well as of daintiness,
as not only are the sharp wooden
edges liable to chafe satin Innings, but
their rusty hook bases sometimes leave
unsightly lines upon collars.
Hangers for ordinary street coats are
cotton padded and covered smoothly with
black satin, while those intended TO sup.
port riding jackets have hunters pink
tops and those for motor coats have Gov
erins of clan plaid taffetas.
Boudoir coat hangers are thickly wad
ded and covered with liberty satin shirred
at both upper and lower edges to form a
narrow fril. At each top end are placed
rosettes of baby ribbon, from which de
lpend two narrow streamers finished with
wide ribbon bow tassels. The hook is
similarly covered and its stem Is trimmed
with baby ribbon fringe.
Padded evening cloak hangers are al
most straight bars covered with deeply
plated soft satin and trimmed at the sides
with a box plated half inch ribbon frill
At each end are ribbon loop rosettes, from
(which depend streamers. terminating will
flowers. The matching hood hanger is Of
baby coat size, covered with wadding anc
twisted wide ribbon. Attached to the
under side of its shoulder bar is an oblonl
soft cushion covered with shirred SAITH
case having frilled ends faced deeply with
a contrasting shade of satin and inclosinl
a cluster of ribbon flower petals, from
which extend short streamers, finished
it'll flower rosettes.

Attractive Sofa Cushions.

4 VULNERABLE sofa pillows of vari-
Gus sizes and shapes go far toward
making a college girls room attractive,
Jas they may not only be piled upon
|couches and window seats but tied to
chair seats and backs.
Denim, nuns cloth, domestic, Russian
and antique English crashes make the
most serviceable pillow tops, and any of
them may readily be stamped with pat
terms for outlining or embroidering. Many
of the crash pillow tops come all ready
stained in two shades of brown, green,
blue or red, or in combinations of those
colors, frequently stamped in attractive
designs to be worked with harmonizing
mercerized floss or in rope embroidery.
Disk patterns are the favorite of the
moment. The circles are from a nickel to
fifty cent piece dimensions, usually
worked in darning stitch in one or two
colors, or in iridescent effect, the same
tints being repeated in the cushion Dor
dering.
Cotton novelty fabrics, such as are used
for ehildren's frocks, make attractive
looking as well as practical tops for pill
lows likely to receive hard service. Among
these materials are the cheviots and per-
Gales, printed in dots of various sizes and
in figures and stripes of dark, light and
medium tones, as well as in Roman bars
blocks, diamond and disk patterns. For
plain colored cushion tops the satin fin
ished mercerized poplins in all the fash
ionable shades are excellent.
jacquard woven cottons and silks make
up into the daintiest of delicately tinted
pillow. tops, to be embroidered, outlined Oh
initiated with silk floss. The 'Japourka
silks, which initiate nuns yelling, rough
pOngee, tussahs, miroir stripes and mar
celline effects most cleverly, are similarly
treated, while the two toned checks and
striped Egyptian tissues and Japanese
silks are in themselves so ornamental
that they do not require further decora-
ton.

W SShe School Girl -

of Madame Grundy's memorable rules is
that guests snail not take the initiative.
Ii you are visiting IN a strange city and
constantly meeting at other houses new
persons whom you like, consult your
hostess about them and see il they are on
her visiting list or are persons whom
she wishes to place there. If you stop to
think you viii see for yourself that it
would be most awkward if you were to
happen to invite to her house some one
whose acquaintance she did not care TO
cultivate, and you must not put her in
that position
Usually when a girl goes to visit her
hostess gives tea for her at once, and
in this way summons all her friends to
meet her. Such tea is the accepted
way of calling on a stranger, and these
calls should be returned within the week.
Young men, of course, rarely have the
leisure to attend such teas, and so are
not often invited. 1t is the custom to
ask them to call on visitor informally
on Sunday afternoons. Evening calling
is obsolete. which is rather a pity, for it
was a sociable fashion and a pleasant
way of becoming better acquainted

movements. At least this feature is not
made as much of as it should be, either
in individual cases or in classes. There
is a great deal of good in dancing this
way. and so is there an immense amount
of benefit to be gained from practising the
popular folk dances, but even the simplest
steps, when done in the correct manner,
are excellent for physical development,
There is nothing like a hop and a skip to
brace up weak ankles and to give poise to
the body. In fact, you cannot do these
simple steps day after day without achiev-
ing both results. Grace and rhythm will
follow, but first of all we insist upon
girls mastering this fundamental step of
physical culture dancing.

even at the risk of being wrongfuily
accused Of undue vanity. girls should
take advantage of an opportunity to
glance into a mirror whenever they are
in room with several intimate friends
so that if they are unconsciously talking
too emphatically they may observe the
urbecomingly set expression of their lips

themselves from forming that obnoxious
habit of expressing an opinion on every
imaginable subject which makes so many
women deservediy unpopular These
casual glances into a mirror will also pre-
vent a girl from contracting the head
