SUNDAY NIGHT MUSINGS.
BY c. 7. RAwALT.


Anent the present debate be-
tween eminent men regarding the
advisability of protecting deposi-
tors by the guarantee system ad-
vocated by Mr. Bryan or by the
postal savings bank as advocated
by Mr.. Taft. we are constrained
10 analyze triflc.
Let US examine the last propo-
sition first. Under the postal
savings bank. which by the way
We think great deal OF, as saw
ings proposition only, the money
of the p>ople would be absolutely
safe. The postoffices all over the
country would deposit their de
posts in banks and would de
mand and receive security for the
same. In other words 1t would
make the same secure by indirec-
ton.
But the postal savings system
is impractical for ordinary busi-
ness and would not go the length
of protecting very considerable
number OF the people. Perhaps
this is why so many great bankers
see so much virtue in postal saw
ings banks They have not been
so anxious about the matter be-
fore but possibly now realizing
that they must let go OF part of
the graft they prefer the lesser
quantity. They will still have
the business interests TO forage
on and will be just as able to re-
fuse to pay out money then as un-
der the last panic rules announced
by subservient Secretary of the
Treasury and Comptroller OF the
currency.

consequent stringency in the out

But in any event where is the

Mr.. Bryan is doing his best to
keep the government out of the

instead to compel them to protect

A SIMPLE SAFEGUARD IN BUYING
PAINT.

Everybody should know how simple
and easy II is to avoid all uncertainty
in buying paint materials. There are
many so-called white leads on the
market, which contain chalk. zinc.
barytes, and other cheap adulterants.
Unless the property owner takes ad-
vantage of the simple means Of pro
lection afforded him by reliable white
lead manufacturers, he runs great risk
OF getting an inferior and adulterated
white lead.
1t is to protect the paint-buyer
against fraud and adulteration that

makers of genuine Pure White Lead,

and who wants n valuable free book
about painting, should address Ma
tional Lead Company, Woodbridge
Bldg, New York, and ask for test

WAYS TO ARRANGE FLOWERS.
Good Idea Is to Follow Nature as
Closely as Possible.

1t Is well to remember that all
flowers look better for loosening up
trifie and few look well packed tightly
together. One of the safe rules to fol-
low is to heed the natural growth of
the flower whenever possible. Flowers
that grow in thick clusters are GER
tain to look well in masses, while
those that grow singly and far apart
should not be crowded. The object
should always be to bring out the
whole beauty of the flowers and to let
everything else be secondary to that
Chrysanthemums and sweet peas
are examples of the few flowers that
do not need foliage as a relief Nearly
all others look far better amid green
leaves. A trailing green vine Is often
just the touch that is needed to soften
stiff arrangement Asparagus fern
is an airy, feathery green, suitable
only for fragile and delicate flowers in
loose arrangement. Wood sorrel has
delicate leaves that look well with
sweet peas and other small flowers,
but as rule flowers own foliage
suits it best
The vases used play an important
part in the success OF flower arrange
ment. Colorless, transparent vases
are always safe and sometimes abso-
mtely necessary. Bowls are beautiful
for short-stemmed flowers, and the
cheaper variety are sometimes the
best. An ordinary glass fish globe dis
~ 81 Of l,o ate IN
far greater advantage than a cut-glass
rose bowl The colorless glass olive
bottle, going straight. up and down, is
more to be desired than Opaque
vases, which hide decorative stems.
Tall slender vases are suitable for
long,stemmed flowers, 1t is said that
the height of long flowers
should be 11s times the height OF the
vase.
Yellow flowers in a dark blue jar
are effective, and brilliant red flowers
look well In the neutral gray jars OF
some of the Japanese ware. The pur-
ple violet finds it's richness intensified
in a pale yellow jar. Pansies and
violets both look their best in heavy
jar, preferably OF cylindrical shape.
Ii is well not to mix flowers of diff
! ferent kinds and different colors. A
cluster of blossoms all presenting the
same hue is usually the most eff
fective arrangement. Some flowers,
such as a chrysanthemum or a rose,
when long, stemmed and handsome,
are set off to advantage when SIN
gle flower alone occupies the vase.

Tailor-Made Accessories.

Much of the smart effect OF any

cessories. Needless TO say, anything

accompanied by linen collar and n

is known as the English type of street
suit, meaning the severely tailored
