STYLES IN PAPER
SMART WOMEN USE

Because of the numerous Christmas and
New Year gifts each girl must acknowl-

ance. Strangers are always judged by
their writing paper: but, aside from that,
there is pleasure in having the newest
and having il stamped in the latest
fashion.
GRAY is undoubtedly the correct color
for all note paper. the shade varying to
suit individual taste. In quality it may
be either very heavy, or extremely thin;
there seems to be no medium. Both rough
and smooth finish are seen and envelopes
as rule have pointed flaps. Rarely are
SQUARE ones used at present.
Persons who do not like gray will lind
various shades of blue from which to
choose but great discretion must be ex-
erc.sed in selecting from this color. A de-
cided pale blue Is not good form: a tint
Just off white is effective, and deep cadet
in always good form. Any other exam
pies should be avoided
Correspondence Cards Are Popular.
Correspondence cards have come into
vogue again. Those oblong in shape are
to be preferred. to square ones. These
come in the same shades as note paper.

The Georgia Experiment.

Vhe Georgia experiment.
Georgia now holds the center Of the
stage. and for year has been expert
menting on what is strictly ''near-pro-
hibition law" in that it forbids the sal
of liquors containing more than per
cent OF alcohol. State wide prohibition
laws become effective January l in North
Carolina. Alabama and Mississippi. in
each OF which a majority OF counties had
heretofore prohibited tie sale Of liquor.
Prohibition advocates in Louisiana have
suspended their fight. to test the new
Gay-Shattuck law for the regulation OF
the liquor traffic, which also becomes
operative January /.
The anti-saloon people say they will be
content IL this law is enforced rigidly.
Tennessee is the chief center OF interest
among the other states where state wide
prohibition fights are in progress The
prohibitionists assert that state wide
bill will pass the legislature, which they
expect 10 organize and control. With the
backing of the state machinery. the local
option forces are equally confident that
such bill will meet defeat. Kentucky.

In Texas. where more than half the
counties have accepted prohibition. the
voters soon will be called upon to vote

hibition. In Arkansas two-thirds Of its

question of state wide prohibition will be

to the cities. The results of prohibition
generally are CLEANED from reports indi-
eating a great decrease in the record Of
arrests for drunkenness. an increase in the
bank deposits o. laborers. fewer cases
of wife abandonment and a decrease in

SIMPLE REMEDIES
FOR CURE OF COLD FEET

Continued lack Of circulation in the ex-
tremities will lead TO chiliblains and a
person who has thought he or she knew
something Of discomfort from cold feet
previously will discover the error There
fore. at the slightest tendency to contin-
ued cold feet something should be done
TO remedy the trouble. 1t is caused,
as a rule. by a low physical condition pri-
marfly. which makes the blood sluggish
and thin. and it therefore behooves the
sufferer to work for physical betterment.
AS part OF this improvement treatment
the best of nourishing food should be
eaten. the diet to include those dishes

"nderdone mutton, starchy vegetables
and. indeed. almost any article that is
plain and OF good quality. BY such a
system the cause of the disorder will be
reached and the sufferer helped. but for
temrora comfort local applications and
exercises give some relief For the ex-
ternal treatment cashmere stockings | be-

Should they be too warm for house wear
IL Is easy to change them and put on a
thinner kind.
Clean Stockings Are Warm.
Few persons realize that fresh stockings
are warmer in quality than those which
nave been worn once since washing But
the Tact remains that the person whose
feet will be chilled when going out OF
doors with the same hosiery that has
been on all day will be warm if a fresh
pair is put on just before going out
Ona exercise that will stimulate circla-
lation is to bend the foot from the ankle
getting it at all the angles into which it
can he twisted. To do this the foot is
raised from the floor crossing it at the
knee. 1t will be found that 1t can be bent
under and over and sidewise. always from
the ankle. Shoes should not be worn while
this is being done. Five minutes at least
must be given to this exercise. and the
work may be done several times a day.
1t is mistake to Think that putting on
extra foot covering for warmth is PAM
pering the condition and will make ii
worse. To the contrary. anything that
tends to keep the blood in the toes is
beneficial for only in this way can natu-

Daniel Caberry Is the prisoner whom
the woman, alleging she was his wife,

intimate friend Of the man, and the
police hope to implicate him in other
crimes.
Mrs. Carberry'' visited the Hudson
county jail daily, taking delicacies to
her husband. Soon suspicion was
abated concerning the possibility Of
her attempting to aid the man in es-
Gaping. But the other day the matron
made a thorough search of the visi-
tors clothing and found several files.
A search of Carberry's room disclosed
the revolvers and the cartridges.

street, New York." as she wrote on
the back of her letter so that Mr.
Stork in Central park could not pos
sibly miss finding the place where the
baby boy was to be left. She scolded
herself for being thoughtless when she
wrote, the first letter and was deter.
take in the second says the New York
World.
THE maternal instinct seems to be
strongly developed in Hazel" said her
mother the other night Ever since
she has been a little bit of thing
she has loved babies, and baby car
riage in the street is a greater at
traction than toys or candy. She wrote
a letter to the stork o good while ago
and gave it to me to mail.
Il think" said Mrs. Carney, with a
smile, that 1 must have mislaid 1t, as
| did the one she speaks of In this
letter as having been sent without an
address. She asked me the other day
If | thought prayer to St Catherine
would induce the stork to visit us, and
l told her that the bird was very busy
and she would have to take her turn
Then without saying word she went
off by herself, composed this letter
without help and mailed it with her
own hands. She may have suspected
that her mail did not receive proper
attention"
Hazel went to Far Rockaway with
her father after leaving strict injunc-
ton that If the stork left baby on
the sill during her absence it should
be taken in and cared for until she
got back, when she would assume full
charge.

1t would appear that better check
system should be provided upon the ex-
pending of the public funds. Recent
revelations in the matter of the pur-
chase of lumber for side and cross
walks has proven that the city has paid
too much for this item, although the
fact that the current expense fund was
in such shape that cash could not be
paid for purchases, may be, in the
mind of the dealers, some justification
for having different prices for the
same material to individuals and the
city. We believe that purchasing
committee should be appointed from
the council, and that supplies for
different departments of the city gov
eminent be ordered or purchased
through this committee, thus doing
away with the iudiscriminate pur-
chasing and making it possible to get
closer prices on necessary materials
and merchandise. 1t would also leave
less room for criticism if all purchases
and expenditures of money were au-
thorlzed by the council before being
made, or at least that purchases be
made on requisition from the proper
committee, The city has paid more
than fair price in numerous instance.
