women SHOULD NOT
FORGET The LITTLE
ACTS OF AFFECTION
Wives and Mothers Careless in
This Directien---Men Un-
demonstrative.

Men are proverbially u-ndemonstra-
tive, accepting friendship, gratitude,
love as a matter Of course and Civ
ing few outward signs of what they
fee. But women-wives and mothers
also are careless in his same di-
rection. They themselves do not realize
it, bu, the fact emains that they are
so eigrossed with other matters that
the days go by and 10 loving word
or caress is bestowed on husband or
children.
But it is a mistake not to make time
for the loving word and smile. the
gentle thoughtful deed. the lingering
touch and caress, the something that
will show the love in our hearts.
Never IL day passes but each one of us
is near some one who is s~tarving-not
Tor food. or wealth. or fame. but for
love. Even the little children i'm our
homes are %hungering for the loving
word and smile. IL we can but take
time TO give these, they will be remem-
bered long after our elaborate dinners
our stylish dresses. u spotless houses,
are forgotten.
Let US think the matter over care
fully. DO we. because of overmuch
sweeping and busting i'm our homes.
because OF maanifyilg the Importance
of having each thing always in it's
proper place; n above all, of keeping
the house nice for strangers to see
do we in any way lessen the JOY for
amy of the lear ones in the home"

DRESSING II HAIR.

A great deal depends upon the ar
~raxgement Of the hail in bringing good
points into prominence, OF softening
or o%bscuring bad ones. No matter what
the fashion of the moment may be.
no woman should follow 1T blindly un-
less it is a mode suited to her par
ticular style of beauty. A round face
needs the hair arranged on top Of
the head, or. at least. it should be
brushed off the forehead and the part
ing in the middle avoided.
A broad brow calls for high dress
ing n a. little hair On the temples
as possible: while a low brow. where
the eyes are not set high. needs the
hair kept of the forehead, but a few
wavy locks should be arranged on the
temples. Fluffy hair should partly COW
err a receding brow. and the bad effect
of high cheek bones is modified by
combing the hair Owe the temples.
The possessor of a broad face with
tapering chin should avoid curtis OF
fluffy waves on either side Of the head:
while the hair arranged in fuzzy coils
to give breadth to the top OF the head
is suitable for a broad face and heavy
jaw. where no straight lines should be
permitted.

SUMMER GARMENTS
FOR THE CHILDREN
PrettIsst /: Material for Long
Dresses Is Handkerchief
Linen.

1t Is q wise mother who Is planning
and getting ready to make the summer
garments for her children these spring
days, SO that she nay devote her entire
time to the wee ones during The hot
and trying days Of ummer.
h prettiest material for long
dresses is handkerchief linen, which
costs about 25 cents Il yard. A long
dress should measure one yard from
the hem to the neck. Long white pet
ticoats are made on waists OF long
cloth. These waists are cut in one
piece, which necessitates shoulder
seams only.
Finish the neck and arms with a
one-elghth of an nch hem. which may
be Gather feather or catch stitched.
The flannel petticoat is made in the
same way. h bottoms Of the fan
mel p%etticOat nay be scalloped and but
tonholed OF embroidered more elabO-
rately or else merely feather stitched.
The simpler these tiny garments are
the more comfortable they are for the
sewed by hand with small even
stitches.
The only trimming should be hem
stitching or feather stitching. u little
hand embroidery with ever so little
lace feather stitching can be used In
more different designs than other
stitches.
On the hem Of the dress mark a sim
pie Roman border design and then
feather stitch the outline. This makes
effective trimming for dainty summer
dresses. Tucks and feather stitching
combined with dainty knots are ex-
Quisite.
f. Alternate rows Of insertion with
waved rows OF feather stitching on q
ruffle for a long dress are a little more
elaborate.
The first short dresses should be
about 81 inches long. Pretty caps for
summer are made OF null and lawn
and no end Of hand work and lace may
be lavished on these airy little bonnets.
None are prettier han those made Of
rows OF hand sewed tucks alternated
with French knots and trimmed with
ruches of ace and dainty ribbon bows.

70 PROTECT SILK HOSE.

Everyone who ear silk stockings
knows how easily they wear out. and
II clever girl whose needs do not At
her ~pccketbook has found that by knit
ting inside feet Of silk thread she can
wear them. and thus protect her fragile
hosiery Of silk. These feet are made
just q they cover the sole. and extend
only slightly over the foot that they
may be worn with slippers and yet not
be seen. The idea is good. because
home made stockings are Of much bet
ter quality than are the machine made
varieties. and the girl who originated
the idea says that her gossamer hose
last Just two times az long az they
did before she wore her home made

And let there be faces OF lovers, and let
there be eyes that glow,
And let there be tears of gladness instead
Of the tears of woe,
And let there be clinging kisses of lips for
a time that part,
But never a tristful shadow to darken q
trustful heart.
Ay, sing me a song of b~eauty-away with
the songs of strife.
Away with the specter Of sorrow that sad.

Though under the leaf the adder of death

The PLACE Of FIRS1
LADY OF The LAND
Mrs. TAFT 10 Fine Entertainers.
Mrs. Bryan an Athlete and
Farmer.

Washington, Special: Who will be
the next lady of the White House?
This is about the only question of the
trouble campaign that is bothering the
social set OF the capital. Just as there
are many men willing to occupy the
presidential chair. so there is an equal
number of women eligible for the place
of first lady of the land.
Mrs. William III. Taft looms up first.
OF all the possibilities. she Is the only
one who has even been a house guest
at the White House. She once spent
the Christmas holidays there, as the
guest OF President and Mrs. Hayes.
Mrs. Taft is considered one of the most
pleasing Of entertainers in Washing
ton.
Mrs. William j. Bryan is considered
first among the democratic possibilities.
She Is a woman of high attainments.
Out In Lincoln she Is considered a
home-loving woman. She Is cosmo-
politan, raises chickens. can play a fine
game of tennis, can swim. likes saddle
horses and is an entertaining talker.
Mrs. Charles h. Hughes Is also con-
sidered a homebody. Her receptions
are marked by cordiality. She Is q
quiet. lovable woman and is The moth
or of the first baby born in the execu-
tive mansion at Albany.
Mrs. Philander C. Knox and Mrs.
Roosevelt are very close friends. and
are frequently seen shopping together.
When she is at her homo at Valley
Forge, Pa, she takes an interest in tho
farm work. She likes driving horses.
Mrs. J. II. Foraker Is not counted In
the running. She is decidedly a club
woman n fond OF social activities. 1t
has been said that the senator never
makes a political move without con-
sulting his wife, and If she objects no
action Is taken.
Mrs. Charles w. Fairbanks Is anoth-
er woman Of the aggressive type. She
is a politician of no mean ability, n
can hardly be considered domestic in
her tastes.
Speaker Cannon is a widower and
should he, by any chance get to be
president the White House will be pre-
sided over by his daughter. Miss Helen
Cannon. She has shown herself to be
q clever hostess. Her tastes run toward
solid reading. and she inherits her faith
er's kim for anecdotes.
The wife of Governor John A. john
son, Of Minnesota. does not care for the
limelight. She is domestic In the ex-
treme. Her social functions are said
to have a touch Of originality.
Mrs. George Gray. OF Delaware, likes
the quiet OF her home. She is a highly
educated woman, and the years have
but slightly touched the beauty for
which she was famed when a young
woman
