WASHINGTON.-The rough RI
w ders" of the Taft administration
will be the members of the Yale class
of 1878. When Roosevelt became
president the soldiers of his famous
regiment became the White House
pets. The Rough Rider colonel never
overlooked an opportunity to show his
affection for his comrades by granting
them favors of great and small i'm
portance. The fondness of the presi-
dent for his cowboys and quick shoot
ers was so pronounced that 1t had a
marked effect on the popular under
standing of his administration.
Mr.. Taft's personal loyalty and de-
votion will go to an entirely different
set of men. The one set of men whom
he places above others in sentimental
and affectionate regard Is made up of
the youngsters, now grown up, who
graduated at Yale in 1878 Nearly all
OF these men are now little over so
years of age, and most of them un-
der S.
Those in good health are In active
occupations, and large number have

YOUTHFUL MIND IN DISTRESS.
Awful Possibility That Loomed Before
Six-Year-Old Jackie

Six-yesr-old Jsckie's mother be-
lieved that absolute truthfulness was
the only rock on which to build that
youthful gentleman's character. and
the consistent working out of this
principle did away. of course, with be-
lief in all such things as fairies, Santa
Claus, and other Illusions dear to
childish hearts. and they became In
stead "make-believe" games, Santa
Claus in particular being pet joke
between his mother and himself
Jackie came in from play one after
noon much excited and concerned.
Mother. Jimmie Norton believes
there is a really and truly Santa
Claus. He says he is sure that Santa
Claus does come down the chimney.
He wouldn't believe me at all when

rising anxiety.

vuIqarIty Of ouarreIino.

There must be a satisfaction in tor
turing human beings, for 1t is done SO
often. Nobody blames a wife for up
holding her self-respect and resenting
insult, but there is little sympathy for
one who deliberately drives a man to
deeds of rudeness and violence. Nag
ging and indulgence in bad temper
leave indelible marks on the face of a
woman, on her voice and on her char
acter. They shrivel up whatever
sweetness nature has put into her dis
position and make her unlovely, even
in the eyes of those who feel In duty
bound to give her affection. 1t is often
hard to maintain silence under provo
cation, but there is always the open
door of escape. you know. A quarrel
does not thrive when fed from one
side only. and what should be impor-
tant to every woman with pretenses
to refinement is the undisputed vul-
garity of pickering. Education and
refinement are supposed TO lift us SO
far above vulgarity that even the hens
of our skirts are NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

SOME SMALL ENGLISH PARISHES.
Dozen inhabitants In One; In Another
Only Two Houses

Probably few people know that this
country contains a number or par
ishes so small that their population
can be housed under one or two roofs
For instance. Upper Eidon, near
Stockbridge, consists of two houses,
which with an eleventh century church
and a tiny Gods Acre" In the middle
of a farmyard adjoining one OF tho
dwellings, comprise the whole parish
Not much larger is the population OF
Lullington, five miles from Eastbourne
Small as its church is-the interior
dimensions are only 16 feet square
it is quite large enough for the inhab-
itants.
In Grove near Lighton Buzzard,
there are only about dozen tnhabi-
tants, the parish containing modern
farmhouse, two cottages and tiny
church. AT Rhyd, in Flintshire. while
there are only three adult Inhabitants.
the village contains five cottages and
one ship. Until recently there were
two licensed houses. one of which still

MoIasses and SUGAR.

The term "molasses" is properly APP
piled to the saccharine product which
is separated from sugar In the process
of manufacture. A syrup is the direct
product of the evaporation of the
juice of sugar-yielding plant or tree
without the removal of any OF the
sugar. The term molasses applies to
the same process with the exception
of the fact that the sugar has been re-
moved at least partially by crystalliza-

New Mistress VIII Do Her Own Shopping

of evening gowns made of the fascinat-
ing. filmy Philippine fabrics, which she
brought back to the states with her
after her long residence in Manila.
And yet she brought only what she
might have actual need of in the near
fture. According to her thrifty nature.
she purchases only what she can see
a use for. Mrs. Taft has never been
wealthy Her money is always spent
judiciously.
Mrs. Taft patronizes always the con-
sentative establishments. Good val
ne for the money is what she looks
for first in shopping. She rarely goes
into the cheap stores, except for unim-
portant articles, which careful women
know how to buy. During her resi-
dence in Washington she has done her
purchasing mainly in the shops along
f. street.
Mrs. Taft and her daughter are both
careful buyers. In doing Christmas
shopping, they rarely are guilty of pur-
chasing useless trifles. They go about
months before the holiday week, and
by the time other Christmas shoppers
are beginning to think of buying, their
gifts are bought and carefully put
away, carefully labeled, awaiting the
auspicious day. In this respect Mrs
Taft is much like Mrs. Roosevelt, only
that Mrs. Roosevelt does much of heI
gift shopping in~the jewelry shops
while Mrs Taft is more apt to lool
in the department or notion stores.

ALL WEAR sHIRTwAIsr RINGS.
JeweIry for Women to Wear with
Morning Attire.

"Shirtwaist Rings" they are labeled.
They are the simple massive rings
that some women prefer to wear with
morning attire In place of their jew
eled rings, which they save for after
noon and evening.
All the various forms of seal rings
now popular are included in the shirt
waist ring list, btk the name is used
more especially for rings of severely
plain design set with semi-precious
stones of the kinds that Will stand
hard wear and even soap and water.
Many of the shirtwaist rings are
plain bands of twisted or braided gold
or silver. Some are fashioned like
snakes. Most, however, are stone set
Turquoise matrix is among the best
liked stones, as 1t Is becoming to any
hand that has clear skin. 1t is usu-
ally set In a large oval trimmed with
an edge of gold no heavier than Is
necessary to hold 1t securely. Iany
of the turquoise matrix rings are sill
ver highly Furnished or oxidized in
very dark tones.
The revived garnet Is much used
in these rings. 1t Is usually set in
cabochon fashion. A frosted gold ring
in q deep Etruscan tone has lions
heat for it's ornament and cabochon
garnet is set in the lions mouth
A great oval disk of highly polished
coral simply set in q rim of gold is the
ornament of another ring. Moonstones
are much used. usually set In silver
which carries out tho silvery quality
of the stone coloring.
Lapis laxuli and malachite are used
with gold or silver rings One mode
has a long narrow stone embedded
in the ring so far around the nngel
| that the ring seems to be made of thu
stone. Some rings are made entirely
of jade, the Chinese lucky stone. To

We hope that women who claim
their rights will use them soberly and

novels that throw morality to the

by women Women are the natural
