NEWEST HAIR ORNAMENTS

Fortunately for the woman OF moderate
purse they come in imitation shell. In the
real thing barrettes In such sizes are nat

The simplest OF the big barrettes is a
plain oblons shield OF the she'll highly

SILK STOCKING SECRETS

Brought Formally By Julia
Ward Howe,

mrs. Humphrey Ward has written an
other letter trying to convert the evidence
brought forward by Mrs. Julia Ward Howe
to prove that equal suffrage has done
good in the western states Of this country.
She asserts that in a congressional
election in Denver a few years ago
women exerted almost as much influence
In behalf Of fraud a. men. The district
attorney of Denver takes Mrs. Howe's side
of the argument and asserts that of the
seventy-eight persons informed against,
only two we're women. Judge Lindsey OF
the Denver Juvenile court says that II ID
his experience that ninety-nlne per cent
of the election frauds committed in that
state are by men without assistance direct

Divorce in Vermont.
From the Churchman.

FROM the Churchman
In the recent report of the Vermont
rtate board of health 1t is stated that
tho number of divorces is increasin g
Tn such an extent as to threaten the
stability of the state. In 1886 there
was one divorce to 20.O3 marriages, in
1897 one to every 10 and in 1907 one
to every $50. The report attributes
the change primarily to lax discipline
of children in families, by which they
fail to acquire habits OF self-restraint.
The remedy is, therefore, to be sought
in placing greater restraint on the i'm
pulses tending to disregard of the
rights of others Further, continues
the report: The legal causes for
which divorce should be granted should
be reduced. The church should make
more emphatic its teachings of the
sacred character of marriage The
state, the church. the school, should
all unite in an effort to discourage
hasty, ill-considered marriages. To this
end we could we'll afford to return to
the custom Of requiring that no mar
riage should be soIemnized until the
intention of the parties to such mar
riage has for some weeks been an
nounced in a public manner prescribed
by law. Serious consideration should
be given to the question whether d.
vorced people should be allowed to
marry again. especially when the di-
vorce is obtained for other than bib
lical causes

Construction work at the dam during
the year consisted in the removal Of
91S.92O cubic yards of material from the
spillway. This channel is 300 feet wide,
with flare to 500 feet on the upstream
side and it was decided to maintain the
elevation of its bottom at the south end
at ten feet above sea level. so as TO
preserve as thick layer as possible OF
argilla ceous sandstone over the cong1on-
crate. No reference is made i'll the report
to the recent reported undermining OF the
site of the Gatun locks. 1t Is stated
however that two lines Of sheet piling
have been driven across the Chagres
river to form Golfer dams to permit the
pumping out Of that portion OF the stream
to be occupied by the dam. in order to
remove whatever unsuitable material has
been left by the operation OF the suction
