Grace Margaret Gould, the fashion
expert, who has recently returned to
this country from Paris, writes in
Woman's Home Companion:
Striped materials continue right
on being fashionable, and the woman
who needs gown and one which she
can wear for long time to come need
have NO hesitancy in selecting a
striped silk or striped voile for her
gown.
I'm planning an evening costume
there are one or two things which it
is wise that she bear in mind. The
first Is, short-waist effects are the
vogue. Now, if she can have but one
evening gown, it is better to select
something that is not too extreme.
Let us take it for granted that she
doesn't care for an Empire gown
such as fashionable women are wear
ing in Paris and New York to-day.
On the other hand, she doesn't wish
to spend her money for new evening
dress and not have it reflect in
measure the new fashion tendencies.
"In this case let her try the high
Empire girdle, which will give her
gown the fashionable short-waisted
look.
Skirts are long and extremely
close fitting over the hips. The trim
ming is all toward the foot. Even
such filmy materials as tulle and chif-
fon cloth are often made up with
band of velvet at the bottom. Entire
deux of f1let net strikingly embroid-
cred in coarse silk fosses are the
fashion as skirt trimmings, and when
they are used In this way a touch of
the same embroidery is introduced
in the blouse.
"Veiled effects are very fashiona-
BILE, and the skirts of many of the
latest evening gowns show very lovely
changing effects. For example,
skirt of pale blue chiffon will be made
up over pale blue silk or satin foun-
dation, but just to give it an unusual
little touch there will be other Chiffon
skirt between the outer one and the
silk foundation, and this will not be
of blue"

Missouri Woman a Deer Slayer.

Mrs. Winifred Witt, Linn County's
Oldest inhabitant, is ninety-eight
years old. One day in the early for
ties Mrs. Witt was engaged in wash
ing on the banks of the Grand River
as was the custom of the early set
tiers, when the baying of a pack OF
hounds told her that they were close
ON their prey and coming in her di-
rection.
She was standing near a ford on
the river bank, used by man and
beast, and not knowing the character
or the game, she hastily armed her
self with a stout club and secreted
herself behind large tree just as a
full grown deer came dashing through
the woods. Waiting until it had par
TALLY descended the steep bank, she
delivered a powerful blow from her
club at the base of the animals ant

Her Ready RenIy.

A few evenings ago a train made
up of two ordinary passenger coaches
and a baggage car pulled into the
Union Station from the yard, pre-
pared to go out on one of the branch
roads. The hands of the station clock
pointed to within a few minutes of
the scheduled time of departure and
the shivering passengers who had
been standing on the station platform
laden with bundles quickly filled the
coaches.
Men and women alike sought seats
in both of the coaches, when a brake.

Niagara's Age.

This question, always interesting
for tho light it throws on the past
history of the earth, has had many
answers. The latest is that of Dr.. J.
w. Spencer, who, from recent studies
on the spot, finds that the mean rate
OF recession Of the falls at present is
Az fe8t per year, and that this has
been the rate for approximately 227
years. But owing to the fact that
originally the waters of Lake Erie
only were discharged over the falls,
giving but oxe-fifteenth of the present
water supply, the rate of recession
was at first much slower. A sudden
widening of the gorge over Fosters
Fat indicates the position of the
falls when the other Great Lakes be-
gan to discharge into Lake Erie.
From his data DR.. Spencer calculates
the entire age Of the falls at $4,000
years. The cutting, with the full
power OF the four lakes, is estimated
to have lasted $500 ears.-Youth's
Companion.

time, but finally he said, FASTENED a

Goodman arose from his chair and
walked to the cash drawer. With
lingering reluctance he took two

forty cents in change. He handed the

Party For a Child of Three.

A birthday party for a child three
years old should be very simple. The
hours should be early, the time short,
so that the little ones may not be
tired. The invitations may be:
Marjorie Brown
will be happy to see
Alice Robinson
on Saturday afternoon
December seventh
from two to four o'clock.
If preferred, the mother may write
notes in her own name. and include
the child's mother in the invitation:
Dear Mrs. Robinson-Will you
bring Alice to birthday party
am giving for Marjorie on Sat-
urday afternoon, December 7th,
at two o'clock?
Yours sincerely,
LOUISE DAVIS BROWN.
The children may be amused by
singing-games which the mother must
lead. The planiest of plain cake and
ice cream might be provided for chill
dren. Gifts of toys may be given by
the little hostess, who should be en-
couraged to give presents rather than
expect them.-The Home Monthly.

The Favorite Girl.

She is the girl who is not "too
bright and too good" to be able to
lind joy and pleasure all over the
world.
She is the girl who appreciates the
fact that she can not always have the
first choice of everythingi in the world.
She is the girl who is not aggres-
sive and does not find joy in melting
aggressive people.
She is the girl who has tact enough
not to say the very thing that will
cause the skeleton in her friends
closet to rattle his bones.
She is the girl who, whether it is
warm or cold, clear or stormy, finds
no fault with the weather.
She is the girl who when YOU in

by looking her best.
She is the girl who makes this

Dress in Holland.

The women's costume is a trife too
complex for verbal description, as
feminine belongings usually are; but
the white lace cap which covers the
head from eyebrows to nape of neck
and from ear to ear, curving out in
rounded wings on each side of her
cheeks, is always conspicuous and
inevitable portion of woman's at
tire. 1t may possibly be that on Sun
day this cap is trifle whittier or sitter
or daintier than on weekdays, but
the difference is not very apparent.
The ladies assure us there is a vast
difference in the quality of the net
and the amount of hand work en-
ployed, but the lens made no special
note Of that. In shape and outline
the camera finds great distinction
between these caps and those of
Katwyk or Marker or Bots lie Due,
but between Sunday and Monday caps
in Volendam it records none what
ever. For the rest of the costume
feminine Holland asks above all
things, apparently, a very fiat, narrow
chest surrounding enormous hips,
and Volendam is no exception to this
fashion rule. The invariable black
"best waist" of the elder women is
usually frightened by square yoke
of lighter color and material, and the
dark apron or overskirt is topped by
six inches or more of gay plaid or
bright-colored band, worn over an
underskirt of dull-blue striped or
black material and uncountable petit
coats. About the throat a collar
formed of many rows of heavy, dark
red coral beads is fastened by huge
silver clasps, and the number of rows,
the size and quality of the beads, are
matters for feminine pride. Long
hair is not the glory of woman in Hol-
land, save, perhaps, at Marken. 1t
is usually hidden, and at Volendam is
cut quite close and entirely covered
by tight-fitting thick blac,:. silk cap
concealed beneath the snowy white
lace. The younger girls, from the
tiniest toddler to the young meisje
old enough to wed, wear dresses and
caps the exact counterpart of their
grave mothers, no less full of skirt
or narrow of chest, but much gayer in
color. A group of tiny maidens in
stiff breeze on the dixie resembles
nothing more than a swarm Of but
terflies. Scribners Magazine.

USEFUL NEW WOODS.
Tupelo Found Valuable For Many
Purposes.

The scientific study of the merits of
many species of trees against the use
of which there has been a prejudice
for one reason or another is one of
the most important phases of the for
est work of the Government from an
economic point of view, and the in
vestigations already made have pro-
vided the lumber industry with much
valuable information.
The latest discoveries of valuable
qualities in formerly neglected spe-
cies resulted after an investigation of
the tupelo gum which finds its home
in the Southern swamps. Tupelo two
years ago, at the time the study was
begun, was little known and seldom
used even in the parts of the country
where it is most plentiful. In the cut
ting of cypress in the Gulf States,
where tupelo is found in large quanti-
ties, the trees were disregarded. 1t
was found that the prejudice then ex-
listing against the wood was caused by
a lack of knowledge of its properties
and lack of care in handling the ma
terial. The Investigations carried on
by the United States Forest Service
have proved the value of the wood for

sweethearts and Eyes.

The group of friends stood admir-
ingly before the latest picture by a
well-known illustrator, which orna-
mented the wall of the bachelor girl.
1t represented an exceedingly athletic
young man in the act of engulfing a
fiuffy-ruff1ed young lady and imprint
ing a passionate salute upon her up
turned lips.
The young ladies gushed over it
with enthusiasm, while the men
agreed that it was very lifelike.
There is one serious defect in the
picture announced the bachelor
girl, after the first outburst. 1.-THE
artist has made one serious mistake
at which l am surprised. Can any
one pick it out?"
All agreed that it seemed perfect.
Don't you see that the girls eyes
are open?" said the bachelor girl.
What girl, ask you, ever received
real kiss, such as is portrayed here,
with her eyes not blissfully closed.
A woman always closes her eyes when
she is kissed by the man she is fond
Of"
The women all agreed that the
criticism was true, and said how
strange it was they hadn't noticed
it, while the men glanced at each
other with looks which admitted their
own stupidity.
Now, as to whether the mans
eyes ought to be closed, don't know,

form OF flooring was recently found
competing successfully with Douglas

though bearing freight rate of
elghty-five cents a hundradweight

Louisiana.
This is only one example of the
studies carried on by the Government
for the purpose of creating markets
and establishing uses for kinds of
wood whose properties are not UNDER
stood. The reason for making these
studies is that by finding substitutes
for wood now in use which have
grown scarce in consequence of an ex-
cessiye demand the timber supply of
the country is in effect increased, the
most economical use of wood is pro-
NOTED and the. evils of a general
shortage in supply are to that degree
lessened. - Washington Correspond

is different, of course - she has
changed outwardly with the times
but at heart and largely in manner
she's the same. And, what's more, in
spite of all that's written and said
about the popularity of the athletic
girl, secretly the men adore the Lydia
