THE GRATEFUL GUEST,
She Fails 10 Appreciate Fact that
she Caused Expense.


Human nature is queer thing said
the philosopher in the New York Press.
Not long ago some friends of mine got
badly down on their luck. Times were so
hard for them that they scarcely knew
which way 10 turn for the necessities Of
life.
AT that most inopportune time they
received word from woman friend OF
theirs that she was coming 10 visit them
for few days. They We're dismayed, but
bv the exercise Of great ingenuity and by
deriving themselves TO almost the van
ishing point they managed TO entertain
her. and really to set before her most ex-
cellent meals.
after she left their affairs continued
TO grow even worse, II possible, and while
they kept Up brave front was near
enough to them so / couldn't help know
ing all about 1t, though they were not
aware that I saw the situation.
Il thought II was time some Of their
friends came 10 the rescue, If a suitable
way could be devised, so / wrote the
woman who had been their guest-beiug
slightly acquainted with her myseIf-told
her would head the procession. would
like her aid and would be glad Of any
suggestions she could make as % prac-
teal plan for helping our old friends
without hurting their proper pride.
Her reply gave me something 10 think
about for many q day. She said she
didn't care O. help them, as they already
lived too well and set too expensive a
table, That when she had visited them
they had a great deal more 10 eat than
was necessary, and that they must be
very extfavagaut people. That It WAS un-
doubtedly their own fault they were in
SUCH trouble, and that it would probably
teach them 10 be more economical in
futurei"

EmuIre FrocIxs

The empire frock's popularity was for
some time retarded by the fact that an
attempt was made 90 wear these gowns
over ordinary skirts The empire under
slip is not only made very short wasted.
but very much scantier than any other
undergarment The trimming is simple,
and the greatest care is taken to have it
in accordance with the empire style. To
be perfectly correct one must adjure
ruffles and fiOuuCes and be content with
a garment whose garniture consists OF a
charmingly dainty border only.

HANDY for the Omcc Girl.

A girl who knows how hard il is 10
keep neat in an Office has Just finished a
little kit Of toilet articles TO carry in heT
handbag.
The case itself is merely a strip Of dark
brown linen. with one pointed end.
Through the middle there is a strap
caught down at intervals to hold the diff
ferent toilet articles. Inside are a small
nail file and brush, a pocket comb. a roll
Of powdered chamois for the face. and a
small pumice stone. Each slips into its
place in the strap before the case is
rolled up. It's a very handy thing TO
have when getting ready to go out 10
lunch.

The Fear of Age.

Why DO so many women regard age
with such alright? Viewed from the
vantage ground of youth. it seems to
them that the end Of youth means the
end of love, and to many women the
end Of love is even more appalling than
the end Of life, says the Gentlewonan.
They forget that the love which depends
only on youth and beauty is as likely to
take to itself wings in the heyday of life
as later. Nothing is potent enough to
hold an emotion as evanescent and IN
stable as thistledown

Your veil is an important affair II
either makes or mars the effect Of your
whole costume. and seriously affects the
youthfulness Of the face. Particularly
is this true in the case Of the bOrdered
wells, which accentuate the line from the
chin TO the back Of the couture or hat

with different faces. just so much IS the

SreciaI to The Journal.


Jacksonville, May 16.-No public
man in the state has been the sub
ject of more misrepresentation, not TO
say Misrepresentation, than former
Governor William S. Jennings, and
the latest manifestation of this carp
ing spirit has crept out in ill-adviSed
and ill-informed criticism of the trus-
tees of the internal Improvement fund
for paying TO the former governor ad-
ditional compensation for services ren-
dered in the settlement of the land
grand suits of such Unusual and extra
ordinary proportions. The personnel
Of the trustees is much too high TO
Justify for a moment the artleSS as
SUMPTION that the trustees are making
ducks and brakes of the people
money, and though 1t IS "a pity 10
knock the props from under so much
lurid rhetoric, the truth is mighty
and will prevail, even at the flag end
of chaotic political campaign, when
the cheerful prevaricatOr is putting
the finishing touches to his fine work.
With a view of getting in Cn the
ground floor of this little matter of
alleged extravaganza called graft
by one that might be considered a
Judge of that anomalous article, the
jacksonville correspondent of this
paper made il his business to see eX-
| Governor Jennings. and put to him
suuarely and fairly many questions,
! which. he has answered in his usual
calm lucid and candid manner, and
furnished full information on the SUB

After showing to the ex-governor
some of the alleged facts and figures
regarding the state lands recently put

about how many acres of land
