CURLED WHISPERS KNOCK WILL
Peculiar Fad of Man of Means Proves
the UndOinK Of His
Testament.

That there are posthumous perils in
whisker cultivation is amply proved by the
Boardman will case, recently tried In Oak
land, Cal. Mrs. Blanche Boardman sought
to break the will OF her late husband, who
left an estate of $2,oOO.0OO to charities, re-
serving only a beggarly pittance OF $50 a
month for the support of his widow and
their little daughter. Mrs. Boardman testi-
fled that wheE she married Joseph Board
man In 1899 she was l6 years old, and he
was rs. Their child was born in 1905. She
declared that Boardman fell i'll in Rome a
few years before his death, and that when
they returned to California his mind was
impaired. He was especially anxious to
have his monument set on a high hilltop
facing the state prison at San Quentin, so
that the c%onvicts, seeing 1t, might know
that here was the grave of a great and
good man, and thereby be inspired to lead
better lives. Boardman believed that the
best part of the monument would be a
marble bust Of himself. He was anxious
to have the bust present a dignified appear
ance, Mrs. Boardman said. She further
, testified as follows:
He asked me II / would not curl his
whiskers so that he would look nice when
he had his picture taken. He wanted the
picture to be Used in the making Of the
bust. He was so nervous did not wish to
use the curling-irons, and so l braided his
whiskers in about two dozen braids, and
he slept all night with his whiskers braided
so that they would be fluffy in the morn.

man was seIdle; so the widow and chile
got all the property. Yet one cannot fancy
that the shade OF Boardman is altogether
unhappy. He was loyal to his whiskers
even to the painful extent OF fashionint

the curls in austere marble. His reward II
twofold: the glow Of his satisfied conscienc,
and the perpetuation for all time Of hi

SILKS ARE TO BE HIGHER
Manufacturers Unable 90 New
Stuns at the Present
PrfCaa.

The purchaser of silks for fall and winter
wear stands every chance OF being COM
PEELED to pay some sharp advances on fash
ionable colors and fabrics. In order to
make the new goods that are in vogue. the
manufacturer is being compelled to pay
higher prices for raw silk. The new silk
fabrics being all on the soft, clinging or
der. require more silk to be used in making
them up, and as raw silk Is now selling at
from sLE to A60 per pound for the best
grades, manufacturers cannot long afford
to sell the goods at the prices that are
now in force. Stripes and border silks will
be seen In all OF the latest fall costumes,
and tailored suits are the thing for street
wear, as well as dressy occasions. For
evening wear soft, clinsing effects will be
favored. such as chiffon silk crepe de
chimes. and silk voiles in the new novelty
patterns that are now being turned out for
the coming season. silk wraps and coats
will be worn to a greater extent than last
fan. and will be made up from peau de sole
satin. heavy soft satin finished silks, and
to some extent, from brocade silks.

A SAMARITAN IN A SAHARA

One of the most widely known OF New

than copying ink there to drink with a

cred that the sumptuary laws go" at
Lake Mohonk II. was at the witching hour,
after a long. a toilsome and a heated day.
He painted about the place like the hart
for the water brooks, getting in response
to his anguished queries only a lot of old
and dry information about the absolute
arldity of Lake Mohonk. One OF the re-
porters there present was an oil hand.
He'd reported these Lake Mohonk doiugs
before. Also he knew the signs, and wnen
he saw a cleric, a stranger TO him, but

In one Of the early reports published by
the women's Foreign Missionary society
of the Methodist Episcopal church, the
compiler quotes "a woman OF our denom-
ination recently returned to this country
after a prolonged residence in Turkey" as
saying: IF we could but penetrate the veil
we might hope to reach the women of
Turkey, but as this is prescribed by their
Koran. 1t can only be annihilated by Chris
tian influence and Christian education. 1t
Is the barrier between them and the flu
ture; the tether that holds them and
through them their posterity in a condi-
ton of ignorance that can prevail only
where w~omanhood is estimated solely by
physical estimates. Relieve the women of
Turkey of the veil and the world will
soon know a new Turkey"
1t Is a coincidence worthy of considera-
ton that the revolutionary element of the
country today, the political faction known
as Young Turkey, should recognize the
same possibilities behind the veil in the
womanhood OF the land, that this far
sighted lady" recognized nearly two gen.
e~rations ago. II was not, however, until
the political value of such an innovation
was recognized that the women of Turkey

League for Woman Suffrage has been

it's affairs, while the suffrage associations
all over the country have had material

women. who were among the most promi-
