HARD PILLOWS ON DIVAN.
Should Be Arranged So as to Support
the Softer Ones.

Every one does not know that a
wide divan is made more comfortable
by having at its back two huge. hard
pillows that will support the softer
ones.
1t is usual to heap up a great variety
of these extra soft ones on a large
divan so that anyone sitting or reclin.
ing may arrange them according to
ones comfort.
These are needed, it is true, but
they also need a support. The wall is
usually too far back from the front
edge of the divan to serve. The two
large pillows made of the material
which covers the divan are not only
comfortable, but artistic.
They may be stuffed with excelsior
into coarse muslin or ticking, then
covered with the chosen fabric. They
look better with a heavy cord around
the edging.
If the end of the divan is against the
wall as we'll as it's side, a third pillow
may be added to give an added frame
work to the little pillows.
This is not an expensive trick, but
if a housewife ever tries it she will
never let the divan go without this
part of its equipment.

DO you FEAR GROWING OLD?
Remain LovabIe and Keep the Mind
Alert to the Times.

The future is Nc: half so creepy to
the girl standing with unwilling feet
where the brook and river meet" as
1t is to that same girl when she
reaches "the between age and finds
age staring her in the face.
Every woman hates to grow old, and
the more vital has been her life, the
more filed with joy and popularity,
the greater that hatred.
It is not pleasant to picture oneself
friendless, lonely and not wanted
around; to feel ones hair and eyes
and teeth get the worse for wear, and
know that however tight your grip,
youth refuses to be held.
An old woman who is lovable never
yet lacked love; the trouble is that so
many of us forget to keep lovable. We
grow sour, or disconnected or captious
and then blame our lack Of friends on
our years.
The woman who need not fear grow
Ing old is the woman who keeps alive
to the times, whose mind is alert to
the best in the world to-day rather
than raking owe the past; who does
lot worry, therefore does not fuss"
whose aim is a young heart and in
achieving it forgets. to fret over
wrinkles and bodily age.

MISSOURI NEWS
Against Killing Quail.

Springfield.-Secretary George T.
Tippin of the State Horticultural
society Is this week sending out to the
various county societies and to the
members of the Legislature copies Of
the following resolution passed by the
recent meeting of the state society in
Springfield: Resolved, by the State
Horticultural society, That We deem
the destruction of quail in this state as
detrimental to the orchard and farm
ing interests, and we therefore ask the
the Legislature to enact a law making
1t a m~isdemeanor to kill or sell quail
at any time within a period Of FIVE
years within the state.

EDMHRD

tiary would not be afraid to meet him
alone in a dark alley. For while he is
moderately tall, he is i~mmoderately
thin; and his iron-gray whiskers and
hair show that his muscular powers
long since passed their zenith of devel-
opment.
By appointment Mr.. Moxey is a ma.
tional bank examiner, but he does moth.
ing except investigate banks that have
failed under suspicious circumstances.
And catching a banker who has robbed
his own bank is in some respects like
catching a burglar who has robbed it
each has only a limited number of
ways of committing the crime. In the
case of the burglar the policeman
on the beat looks first at the doors
and windows as being the most prob
able means of gaining access to the
vault. And for a like reason, Mr..
MoXey looks first at the loans and dis
counts.
If the books and papers of a crook
ed banker have not been destroyed"
says Mr.. Moxey, they are bound to
show him up. They may be falsified,
and they may be c%unningly compli-
Gated and mixed up, but they can be
u%nraveled. 1t is all a matter Of time.
The record of crime is there-no man
can keep the affairs of a bank in his
head. All that is necessary is to find
the knots and unite them. Why, | in
vestigated a bank a little while ago
in which three little pencil dots-al-
most imperceptible-placed before GER
tain items, both in the debit and credit
accounts, gave me the key to the
whole affair. l discovered that items
thus marked were to be disregarded,
not added to the totals"
But the investigation of a crooked
bank seldom ends with the scrutiniz-
ing of the concerns yecords. The
crooked banker, so Mr.. Moxey has OBJ
served, has a way of becoming DOM
inantly identified with many other in
terests, This is why he acquires a
string of banks-to bring in the
money that he wants to use for some
thing else. In working up the case
against John r. Walsh of Chicago. Mr..
4loASy SAoIIiuSu luS DOOhS Ol 10 cor
porations.
Strangely enough, this man whose
work has brought him so closely into
relationship with dishonest bankers,
seldom speaks to one of them.
Sometimes" said he, "a banker that
/ have caught will come to me and
confess everything; sometimes he will
declare only that he meant no wrong.
But more frequently they do not seek
me, and, Of course, | do not seek them.
l never spoke to John r. Walsh. l
never spoke to Morse. But | don't
need to speak with them to know what
kind of men they are. Their books
tell"
Mr.. Moxey does not regard Morse as
a great criminal, except in the sense
that he committed his crimes on a big
scale, He says he showed no unusual
cleverness In what he did. and his de.
wees for covering up his c~rookedness
were the same old tricks that are usu.
ally employed.

Hint for Washing Hair.

To avoid tangling the hair when
washing it, first separate it into two
parts by running the comb from the
forehead straight down the back of
the head. Then divide each of these
parts into two and make four small
braids instead of n large one. When
the washing is done, if each braid is
taken out and combed by itself there
will be few, if any, tangles. This is an
especially good idea in washing a
child's hair.

Gray and Pink Wells.

Even on Indictment days the girl of
to-day wants to look her best. She
does not wear any old hat and frock
for fear of rAin, but she dresses her
self from head to foot in a costume
built for the weather.
1t is now her custom to save her
good and expensive fish net wells TO,
dry weather, so on wet days she wears
a close face veil of deep rose pink
chiffon and over this a thin veil Of
gray sewing silk.
These are snugly pinned over her
hat, covering the trimming, and neatly
tucked into place at the nape of the
neck and at the top.

Baby Carriage Robe.

These little affairs are made like
pillow covers, with a flap at the top

a small button. The flap is scalloped,
embroidered and also finished with a
monogram. The other portion is left

outlined with a white briar stitch.
Being made in this shape it can con
veniently be used at times to hold

What It Means to Be Smart.

Dress is the keynote of the situation
at country house parties. A smart
woman is expected to make as many
alterations as a quick-change artist at
a music hall. She wants tailor-made
gowns, shooting and motoring suits,
smart frocks for luncheons, dainty
dresses for tea and splendid costumes
for dinner; and no gown, whether day
or evening, must make a second ap.
pearance.-The Tattler.
