carriage ara motor cars. To begin
with, Rexinc is only about one-fOurth
the price OF leather, which IN appear

stout and strong in texture. and lays
claim 10 great durability, as it is not
only damp. dust. and water proof, but
does not show scratches and Is anti
septic andf washable. It's makers urge
the further recommendation that il is
inOdOrOus, will not crack or peel IN

well to the making of purses. jewel
cases, fancy boxes, slippers, in fact
every article for which leather IS used.
It is capital in the form OF stamped
and scallOped edging for boOkshelves.
The cOlOTings are excellent. whether in
plain shades, Of which there is an ar
tistic range. or in notified and bur
nisEed effects, and the material IS pro-
duCed in imitation Of various grains Of

MHXlMS ON WOMEN

Women have. naturally. more forti-
tude than men.
Women whose ambitions are indie
pendent Of their husbands, rarely at
tain the goal at which they aim.
Fortunately for mankind, there are
more saints than sinners among wom-
en-. There are very few unworthy OF
the mission for which they were IL
tended by an all-wise creator.
Nirtuous, noble women are more
powerful in the destruction Of evil
than the warfare OF an army Of men.
North America owes much Of its civIll-
zation and progress to the nobility OF It's
women.
The women OF our country have lit
tie for which to struggle in the matter
OF equal rights Through their superior
qualities OF head and heart they have
been accorded the highest places in
the respect Of all the world. The wom-
en- Of no other nation enjoy the sans
privileges and veneration as that ex-
tended 10 American women everywhere.

Do Women Dress
To Please Men

As nation the women of France are
not beautiful. But they absolutely rev.
crence the good points they possess,
and dress with a chic that IS in itself a
species OF beauty. The magnOlia-Iike
complexion that IS 90 frequently seen
among the refined, and that is so fer
venuy admired, is kept from the suns
too burning rays by a carefully ar
ranged veil and a well-polsed parasol
when madam takes the air, and even
for the shortest walk gloves are put on.
When they travel en- automobile. quite
plain women wear the most hideous
masks as a preservative of what little
comeIness they possess-masks that
keep the eyes preserved from glare and
the skin from dust and sunburn.
They evidently deem themselves re-
sqonsible guardians OF their own pretti-
ness, and are always ready not only to
take the precautions already named, but
10 forego the delights Of eating and
drinking viands and beverages that do
not enhance their beauty. The women
CT France are an example in the eUl-
ture Of comeliness to all the rest OF the
European nations.
Surely il is laudable Tor women TO
dress TO please men, and very delightful
10 those who do so TO hear the approval
OF the man whose approval they seek.
Il Is only TO be deplOred that as a rule

But swift she files with winged feet.

And leaves her gentle impress there.

Was fain 10 leave with footsteps fleet,
Age finishes with patience sweet.
And Youth and Age make life complete

Gold Spdngled Lace Much Used

that it will be at least six weeks and

is able to leave the hospital and even
then he will not be in condition to re-

will likely be September before he re-
