A Simple Salad.


 Cabbage scorned as plebeian takes on an air as salad-not cold slaw or hot slaw, but crisp, easily mixed salad with French dressing.
 Gut the cabbage with fine grater and put 1t in ice water for an hour before serving. Dry on a clean napkin and cover with a highly seasoned French dressing about ten minutes before serv' ing.
 If clove of garlic is rubbed over the bowl in which the dressing is made, the flavor Is much improved for many per sons.
 While one would not serve this salad at formal meal, it makes an appetiz ing lunch dish.
 And, then. lots of people get down. right mad if you don't talk about them. The way some women talk is enough to make married man feel baid- headed.
 There are people who are easy 10 catch. but they make up for 1t by be- ing hard to lose.

New Change Made
In Mileage Books
Southern Railway Co. Puts
New Rule in Effect.

The Southern Railway has made
a change in handling mileage books.
The change went into effect on June
/. The following are the changes:
If a mileage ticket or tickets con-
tanning insufficient mileage to carry
passenger to destination are tender
ed, ticket agent will detach all
mileage in cover of covers and col
lect from passenger the additional
amount in cash at two and one
half cents per mile to cover the diff
ference between the mileage de-
tached and the mileage to destina-
tion, and issue on continuous pas
sage. ticket to destination.
Example: If passenger should
present mileage ticket containing
one hundred coupons to agent at
Macon and request passage ticket
to Birmingham, to which the au-
thorized mileage is 254 miles, the
agent will detach coupons remain
ing in the mileage ticket and issue
mileage exchange ticket in usual
manner $13. So in cash, this amount
representing "a cents per mile for
154 miles, the difference between
the one hundred miles for which
coupons were detached from the
mileage ticket and the 254 miles,
authorized milage between Macon
and Birmingham.
Previous instructions concerning
mileage detachments required that
one coupon be detached for each
mile or fraction thereof travelled.
Effective June 1, 1908, ticket agents
will detach one coupon from all
mileage tickets for each mile or
fraction of mile ve-tenths or
over. No detachment will De made
for fractions of mile less than five
tents of mile. This does not, how
ever, alter the instructions relative
to detaching the minimum number
of coupons for each journey as pro,
vided for in the contract of the
ticket.

panel front, with tucks in regulation
princess fashion around the waist
and sleeves cut in one with the
shoulder without q seam. The
knickerbockers are worn attached to
separate light unuerbody. Braid
ing or bands piped in a color that
contrasts with the suit are fayorito
forms of trimming.
Lace 1s used not only
for entire hats, but white
Neapolitan and chip with crown or
brim trimmed with lace ruffles are
very pretty. In feathers. bands
wound about the crown with one or
two tall tips at the side are more
used than long plumes, though rag
ged, uncurled ostrich plumes are
sometimes used standing upright.
Straw is again being used as trim
ming and is plated around the crown
in band, the top edged with loops.
Many of the new shapes have straw
Innings in some contrasting color.
For country hats, the high crowned
Panama, draped with Liberty scarf
in brilliant colors is very good. The
all-black hat is seldom seen this
year.
A new fancy In Paris for the au-
tomobile scarf is an exceedingly
long width Of chiffon, made actually
of two scarfs sewn together. the two
being of different tones to give
shaded effect-a navy scarf COM
bined with a green one, light tan
with brown or light grey with q
dark grey. The ends are drawn UP
and finished with tassel OF a coarse
shaded sewing silk. which serves. TO
hold the ends of the scarf together
and draw 1t down into pretty folds
when 1t is thrown back over the
shoulder. The latest In car fixtures
is small receptacle Of porcelain or
glass in the shape OF q culver, fas-
tened to the front of the car by mot
