FOREIGN PAPERS PRAISE.
Taft Lauded by London and Paris
Journalists.

LONDON June 2O.-Most of the morn
ing newspapers and the. weeklies which
are issued today print editorials on Presi
dent Roosevet's triumph in securing the
nomination of Secretary Taft for the
presidency. The Daily Chronicle says:
ITO save the life of his policy he loses
his life as President. 1t is an interesting
phenomenon in the working of American
constitution
The Daily Graphic describes Mr. Taft
as an american dauphin,' adding there
| is something Napoleonic about this crea-
| ton of new dynastic legitimacy under
the shadow of the Stars and Stripes.
All the newspapers pay tribute to Secre-
tary Tafts great qualifications for the
high Office to which he has been nomi-
nated.
The chief point of the republican plat
form that is attracting attention here is
he fiscal plank. The nation thinks it
should lead to reduction in the tariff in
| favor of the free-tradng Great Britain.
PARIS, June 2O-The Journal des De-
bats regards the nomination of Mr.. Taft
as an evidence of the imperialiStic ten
dency and the recognition of the United
States that they must assume their share
of the responsibility for the world The
paper thinks both political parties are
now committed to the Intervention Of the
federal power for the control of the trusts
and that there is little to choose between
them on this score. The Journal charac-
terizes Mr. Taft as President Roosevelt's
right arm and says he is committed
to a continuance of the Presidents pol
ces. Secretary Taft's living interest in
foreign affairs and his services abroad"
the Journal concludes, make his candi-
dacy particularly sympathetic to those
foreign countries which, like France, be-
lieVe that America is a powerful element
in the equilibrium and peace of the
world"
Taft Going to Yale Monday.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, June 2O.-Secre-
tary Taft will come to New Haven Mon
day to attend the meeting of the Yale
corporation and the reunion of the class
of IS, which is his class. He will speak
at the dedication of memorial flagstaff
on the university campus Monday after
noon. Secretary and Mrs Taft will at
tend the Yale-Harvard base ball game
while here.
j. Pierpont Morgan Pleased.
NEW YORK, June 2O.-J. Pierpont Nor
gan, who arrived from Europe yesterday
expressed pleasure at the choice of Sec
rotary Taft as the republican nominee for
the presidency.

MAKES PRETTY COAT Fos GIRL.
Golden Brown Satin the Material, with
Novel Adornments.

A charming coat for small girl is
fashioned from golden brown satin.
The body is formed from straight side
plaits held in place by a low belt
set well down. The sleeves are wide
and full. taken into vandyke lace cuffs.
A collar to match is the finish to the
neck.
Other materials besides satin will be
equally appropriate. Broadcloth and
serge will, of course. be more practi-
cal.
The directoire ruff and the girdle
of that period. both developed from
ribbon. will be used as accessories to
the late summer toilets.
Quite expensive II bought ready for
wear. these charming trifies are not
difficult to make at home, for the rib
bons can be box-plaited on one edge
and sewed down to satin-covered
strip to form the ruff. The girdle is
fashioned from broad satin ribbon or
stripes of bias satin made to go around
the waist and cross in the back. the
ends being knotted at left side front.

Neck Ruffles Important.

That neck ruifles are doing great
deal for womankind this season there
is no denying. Those intended for
outdoor wear are full and heavy. be-
ing made of many layers of tulle. with
often as many colors-one over the
other. The tall Pierrot ruffie is pop
ular. as Is also the double empire ruff
file of soft silk.
Then there are the so-called Marie
Antoinette fichus and neck ruffles,
which are far from being the style
originated for the French queen, and
which bear only slight resemblance to
those pictured In costume books Of
that period. But then the periods are
hopelessly mixed in all present-day
modes, and in the potpourri one sees
much to admire. Hardly new fash
ion is inaugurated that does not sug-
gest styles stolen from half dozen
historical fashion plates, and in most
cases fashion devotees are satisfied.

Soft silks.

Silk will be very much worn now
Not the kind of taffeta we used to
wear. Nobody wants to rustic now:
we do not want to look starched or
to shine; We must look as wilted and
clinging as possible. AS the de-
mand for silk is greater the weave will
be improved. We find rich, heavy
liberty satins and dull silks in the
shops like those that were worn in
our grandmothers days. Silk costs
more now than 1t did. but it wears bet
ter. 1t is now material for the
street as well as for church and other
occasions for simple dressing.
The Elbert County tribune., 1908-11-19

1t may be because of its original quail
ity or its early training. which cannot
through divine help learn the lesson
of happiness and thanksgiving. The
secret of Christian joy is the peace of
Christ in the heart. Then one is not
dependent upon circumstances or con-
ditions. st. Paul said he had learned
in whatsoever state he was therein to
be content. We know well that his
circumstances were not always con-
genial nor easy, but he sang songs In
his prison with as cheerful a heart as
when he was enjoying the hospitality
of a loving friend. There might be
hardships, sufferings, and want; but
in himself he had the peace of Christ;
and this sustained him. st. Paul's
secret of contentment is the Chris
tian's true secret Of happy life.

ly neglected than this. There are
many people who are always coming
to God with requests but who do not
come to him with thanksgiving after
their requests have been granted Ten
lepers once cried to Jesus for cleans
ing. as he was passing them at dis
tance. He giaciously heard them and
granted their plea. When they had
been healed. one of the ten returned
to thank the healer, but the other nine
came not again with any word of rec
ognition of the great favor they had
received. So 1t is continualIy-many
are blessed and helped. but few show
gratitude. Our Lord felt keenly the
ingratitude OF the lepers who re-
turned not. Where are the nine?" was
his panied question. God pours out
his gifts and blessings every day upon
his children; and whenever no voice
of thanksgiving is heard in return he
misses 1t. If one bird of the forest
is silent in the glad spring day, he
misses its song. If one human heart
fails to utter its praise amid life's
countless blessings, he is disap-
pointed
Many there are who think that If
certain definite days are set apart for
praise it is enough. For example,
they will be grateful for whole day
once in year, touching then every
chord of praise in their being, think
ing that this is the way God wants
them to show their gratitude But the
annual Thanksgiving day is not in
tended to gather into itself the thanks
giving for whole year; rather it is
intended to give the keynote for all
the years life. Life's true concert
pitch is praise. If we find that we
are below ,h1 right pitch, we should
take advantage of the particular
thanksgiving seasons to get keyed
up. When the strings Of life begin to
grow discordant thanksgiving will put
us in tune.
The ideal life is one of gladness.
Unthankfulness and fretfulness are
discords in the song. We have no
right to live gloomily or sadly. Go
where we may. we hear the music of
Joy, unless our ears have become tone
