The Cameo Popular.

Cameos seem to be with us to stay. According to recent fashion note they are even being utilized for the drop earrings that are fashionable just at present, and the dainty effects are to be found in large and small pins, in belt buckles and in bracelets. Per haps there is no more effective use for the cameo than in bracelet set in jet or old gold One beautiful de. sign noted in one of the shops recently was wide carved jet setting for most delicately carved cameo. Then there are large brooches which are exquis. itely outlined, and even hatpins. That the cameo is extremely popular is demonstrated by the many limitations some of them exceedingly good, which are to be found.

The Outdoor Girls Gloves.

Unless you are typical outdoor girl with large income, do not invest in chamois skin gloves for summer. The athletic girl who drives a great deal likes this large loose glove for rough wear. but they are not a good invest. ment for the typical summer girl. They make the hand look large, and while they wash as clerks guarantee they will. like the chamois skin you use for cleaning windows, they have weak spots and wash through on the latter. good silk glove is a far better in. vestment, but do not be inveigled into buying brilliant blues, greens, purples and rose colors to match your silk or linen frock. White or soft shade of tan are in better taste; black gloves are hot in summer and should be worn by those in mourning only.

A loquacious Swain.

MT. Backwoods had called for the first time to escort Miss Pumpkin to the weekly prayer meeting. An ex- cess of timidity and self-consoiousnes reduced both to the point of absolute silence until at last and with visible effort, as the meeting house" is neared the gallant summons all his courage.
 Do you like stewed rabbit?" he hazards.
 Yes" returns the maiden, coyly.
 Again silence, until on the return journey the home lights are sighted. when, with another mighty effort the rssourceful swain asks feelingly:
 "Ain't the gravy nicer"
 And yet there are those who main tain that country folk sometimes. seem at loss for conversational topics Bohemian.

HAS FORMULATED CLUB CREED.
Favorable impression Made by Mrs.
 Robert BurdDtte's Words.

Mrs. Robert Burdette, vice-presfdent of the General Federation of Women s Clubs, has formulated a club creed that has made so favorable an impress sion that 1t is likely to be adopted by many clubs in this country and abroad. About the most vital part of this creed reads:
 T believe in afternoon club life for women. l believe in evening club life for men and women together, when it does not rob the home of father and mother.
 q believe that woman has no right to undertake any work whatsoever outside of the home, along the lines of philanthropy, church, temperance or club life that does not emanate from the home, and its final and best results return to the home. Home must always be the center, but not the limit of womans life.
 T believe in equal rights In the fam fly for father and mother in intelli gence, affection and filial respect These the club should foster.
 T believe, out of consideration fol others, in removing the hat in all pub lie assemblies"

METHODS OF PERFUMlNe HATS.
Paper Box Lined with Silk Perhaps
 the Most Effective.

The perfumed hat fad grows apace and every milliner has her own way of doing it.
 The essential thing" says one milli ner, lis any kind of box. But 1t must be large enough to hold the hat with out crushing the feathers One woman used a little tin fee chest which had been unused for long time and was free from smell. A big white paper box can be set inside the tin one. Then comes the matter of scenting the pa per box, which must be lined with silk
 The most successful scented hat box ever saw was made of paper and there were four inside pieces of silk which served to line it. They could be removed. When filled with scent they were simply overpowering and the pa per hat box was a bower of the richest sachet. And into this the hat was placed.
 Tho cover was put on the paper box and the whole thing was set away in the tin chest. The chest being air tight held the scents within And so, the hat became scented. It held its scent even in the wind for three months"

CUSHIONS FOR SUMMER DIvANs.
Filet Covers Are Pretty and by No
 Means Hard to Make.

The woman who does not confine the cushions of her summer divans en- tirely to madras and washable cottons should have one of the new f1let pillow covers which are much easier to make than they look
 The pillows should be quite small and flat. about the size used in baby coaches and the covers made of alter nate squares of filet and hand embroi- dered linen, edged with Cluny lace, should button on that they may be often washed.
 Select for the linen squares an open. work design in which eyelst work pre- dominates use only enough of the satin stitch to make stems or few dots. Do not have too much work on these squares; the main thing is to have them quite open to show the col ored silk or mercerized pillow cover beneath
 Even easier is one of the covers made from an entire filet square that just fits the pillow. The cover may be alike on both sides, or, if that is too expensive, the underside may be of sheer lawn or of inexpensive filet net.
 Some of the imitation f1let squares are very good looking and if dyed with tea to creamy tint will make charm ing sofa pillows at comparatively little cost
 Sometimes these covers are finished with a narrow overcasted seam; more ! often they have an edge of Cluny put l on hat, without gathering The com bination of these two laces is particu- larly effective.

PEN PICTURE OF STEVENSON.
Cousin of Novelist Has Given Us a
 Pleasing Description.

I had heard much of this cousin, Of the life which Bob and he had led in Edinburgh where their revolt against the overstrict conventionality of that famous town had been favored with the zest of forbidden fruit. l had also heard that Louis was going in for literature, but this had not interested .ue particularly, for in those days we were all going in for one thing or the other, and so long as it was not banking, commerce, politics or other unworthy or material pursuits, it mere Iy seemed the normal and proper func- ton of life. l had heard enough, how ever, aided by my hearty affection for my friend Bob, to be keenly inter- ested in the advent of my cousin. and I awaited the morrow with some i'm patience, for it was at once decided that we should meet the newcomer on his arrival at the St. LaZare sta
 At the appointed hour there de- scended from the Calais train youth 'unspeakably slight" with the face now familiar to us, the eyes widely spaced, nose slightly aquiline and delicately modelled, the high cheek bones of the Scot; face which in re- pose was not. fancy, unlike that of many of his former comrades in his native town. It was not handsome face until he spoke, and then I can hardly imagine that any could deny the appeal of the vivacious eyes, the humor and pathos of the mobile mouth with it's lurking suggestion of the great god Pan at times, or fail to realize that there was one so evidently touched with genius that the higher beauty of the god was his.-Century.

and was heavily loaded with passen-
gers. This is the second wreck of an
excursion train south on the Interna-
tional and Great Northern this month,
the Gates excursion going into the
ditch about two weeks ago.

BANG GOES THE BAND
AND WITH IT BILL
SMITHS BUSINESS
DRUMS AND C0RNETS PROVE
IRRESISTIBLE
Yuma Citizen Throws His Private Af-
fairs to the Dogs When He Hears
the Salvation Army e.
BugIe Bray

A big-hearted, grownup boy, a typl-
cal product of western sun and soil ana
air and toll, is Brass Band Bill Smith,
owner of a fine ranch near Yuma,
Ariz., who is interested in the Fel1x
Mayhem strike in the Hofa district and
is well known to many business men OF
this city. OF course, he wasn't chris
tened Brass Band Bill That name
was given him later when he began to
develop a love for the music, the shln-
ing Instruments and the men in their
gay uniforms.
1t makes no difference to Bill whether
it is Sousa's company playing Dixie
or a camp meeting outfit rendering
How Firm a Foundation" He never
was accused of knowing the difference
between a high and low c, bass drum
and cornet. y However, whenever or
wherever he hears the sound as of
many instruments" he is off like de-
lighted boy to follow the bandwagon.
Every time Bill returns to Yuma from
a trip to Los Angeles he employs the
Yuma band to escort him from the
station to his residence. He doesn
give a continental whether Yuma comes
en- masse to greet him with speeches
and flying flags or not He isn't look
ing fer ovations. What he wants Is
the band, and he pays for 1T. With the
bandWagon he rides down to his ranch,
feeling like an Oriental prince.
Smith was in Los Angeles yesterday
to purchase a carload of eucalyptus
trees and a few articles for his ranch.
He seemed to be in hurry. 1t was D
o'clock when he started to see man
on business, but just as he reached
Fourth and Hill streets he encountered
the Salvation Army. Alas for business!
Alas for eucalyptus trees! Both were
forgotten. The ranch at Yuma was
forgotten. Everything was blotted
from the map of his mind except the
impression of q brass band ana q
bunch of happy singers. BIZ entered
the ranks at once. Round and round
with the band he marched. and up intd
the palace hall on Hill street. Taxing
a front seat he lifted his hands to. his
ears to catch every note that poured
from the brass horns. Suddenly the
music ceased.
1.-THE people Of Los Angeles" began
a feminine voice, "have always re-
sponded generously to the calls of ihe
Salvation Army. Tonight We do moi
want quarters, we want dollars"
Dollars! Business! Eucalyptus trees
Yuma! 1t all came back to Brass Band
Bill with a rush. With a bound like
that of one of the unfortunate cotton
tails in Sundays rabbit drive he was
up and out of the hall and down the
street at such rate of speed that only
a Russian Cossack could have overtak-
en- him.

and made to quit such employment. It
has been a rule long in effect.
"Some years ago there were patrol
men who were emp4oyed by cafes and
dance halls while off duty, but that has
been quite awhile ago. Several years
ago on holiday nights, such as the
Fourth of July, Christmas New Year $,
etc, some patrolmen worked i'll such
places, but it was not generally prac-
ticed.
"The captain of police is familiar
with this rule and wherever he learns
of an infraction he makes inveshga-
tions and has 1t obeyed.'
Chief Kern stated that there Is no
rule against patrolmen in uniform en-
tering places where liquor is sold. on
the contrary, he declares tnat he would
rather have his men enter such/places
so that they can note the occupants
and keep line on the persons on their
respective beats
He stated that there was an order
recurring patrolmen to pass through
cafes and saloons: not 10 remain in
the places, but to saunter through and
note the conduct of the patrons of the
places
