Mrs. Taft s Taste.

Mrs Taft has revealed to her init
mates that her inauguration gown will be
made of heavy white satin, embroidered
in silver, with silver insets and a cloth
of silver trimming in the way of a court
train and tunic. There may be touches
of coral pink in the trimming, for white
and silver are cold under electric light,
and pink is Mrs. Tafts favorite color.
She wore several of the daintiest and
most becoming pink and old rose gowns
Washington, New York or Hot Springs
ever saw. She likes pink flowers also,
and invariably at dinner she had deli
cate spring flower. such as white lilac
or narcissus combined with La France
or Killarney rose, to adorn the festal
board. Rose drapings gave a soft. home
like air to her Washington drawing room,
and she took the bleakness off the great
teakwood dresser presented by the Philip
pine assembly, by lace cover lined with
pink.

The woman who has a large CORE
spondence has taken to using what Is
known as the hasty line pad. By cor
respondence" one doesn't mean letters.
This form of exchanging courtesies has
almost gone out Of style. Few people
receive letters any more in the true
sense OF the word.
Intimate members of the family write
each other at more or less frequent in
terva1s to exchange family news or ask
and answer questions.
The modern definition of correspond
ence' is mass of notes, answers to
invitations, letters on business, charity,
philanthropy and appointment making
Ones best embossed paper with mono
gram and street number is too expen-
sive to use up by the quire week in
this fashion. On the writing desks of
women who live a wide life there are
stacks OF small pads which are inclosed
in colored morocco. These are of good
paper with strong edge and are de-
tached without giving the look of being
torn off. They are used for everything
except long family letters and formal
occasions.
They will not serve for answering in
vitations to weddings or formal dinners
or any of the affairs for which engraved
invitations are sent out, but they do for
a multitude of other things, and are a
great convenience and a saving Of
money.
There is also an oblong card made of
slightly thicker paper, which may bear
the street number If one wishes to go to
the expense. These are also conven-
lent. They slip into the envelope with
out the necessity of folding. They are
used for answering all informal invita-
lions, thanking persons for gifts, espe-
cially bridal gifts, and sending express
sions of sympathy or congratulation.

The Touch of Time.

There is no surer way to defy the touch
of time than to keep the liver active.
The woman who let's hers get sluggish
will soon show it in yellowed skin and
lack-lustre eyes.
A noted physician has said that every
woman over 30 who values her good looks
will take a dose of calomel once month.
This keeps her in such good physical
condition that her appearance is bound
to profit by 1t.
Some women cannot take calomel-or
think they cannot They should seek to
keep the liver active by the free use of
lemon and water-not lernonade-exercise
plenty of hot water and avoidance of ricn
food
If with all these precautions one is still
inclined to be bilious, there are numerous
good liver pills which do not contain
calomel that can be used under the ad-
vice of a physician.
Half the ill feelings of which we COM
plain are directly traceable to the liver
If that unruly organ is under control,
life will look brighter and we will not
only look better but be better

Concerning Shyness.

Shyness is usually the result of mex

herself and fancies that other people
are thinking about her. She forgets that
each person is necessarily much occupied
with his EGO" A friend of mine who
lived in the country received a visit one
day from a rural neighbor She was dis
tressed to find, on looking down, that
there was a hole In the hem of her dress.
The visitor also seemed to have his eyes
fixed on this unlucky rent. Presently
she could bear 1t no longer, and said:
MIR x, I see that you are looking at
the hole in my gown. I must apologize
for it. but the truth Is 1 did not know it
was there till just now" To which her
visitor replied: "Oh, no, indeed, Mrs a.

you spoke of it. I was looking at a

said that live geese feathers are by far

Today we often ind a mixture of live

TOWN AND COUNTRY FABLE.
Contains a Suggestion for City Men
Who Are Out of Work.

From the st. Louis lobe-Democrat
Once there was an honest man who
was looking for work in a large city.
From morning until night he would
tramp the STREETS asking for a job. AL
though he had one or two trades he could
work at he was willing to take any kind
of employment that was respectable. He
would be glad to be a houseman II moth
ing better offered, and would even assist
in the kitchen washing dishes rather than
be object of charity. But though
worthy. luck was against him.
Being something of a student he
sought to ana1yze the reasons why he
could not get anything to do. Here I
am he said, IAN able-bodied man Of
good character, born and raised in this
country and a citizen and supporter OF
the state. and 1t has no use for me. Evil
IDENTIFY our social and industrial system
is wrong. 1t Is chaotic and ineffective
and ought to be changed. What we
need Is new one Should not every
city have a job for every honest man
that wants one?" But as his rumina-
lions did not put bread in his mouth
he was compelled to stop reconstructing
the social system and set out once more
searching for a means of livelihood.
At last in his desperation scarce know
ing what he did. he walked out into the
country. He trudged along the road de-
jectedly, wondering what was to become
of him. He had Travelled some distance
from town when a farmer accosted him,
crying, "Hey" in the usual and charac-
teristic vernacular of the bucolic regions.
The wandering man raised his head and
the farmer cried out: II ben loollin' for
hand to help me feed my stock for
three weeks and I'm clean beat out If
kin git one. Likely as not you might
take the job. It'll be steady, winter and
summer. The way the young fellows
leave the country and crowd into the
cities is simply depopulatin' the rural
deestricks. Everybody can make good
living in the country and have plenty to
eat and comfortable place to sleep"
So the honest man took the job and lived
happy ever after, for three years later
by frugality and economy he Was able to
go into farming for himself.
Moral-It is better to live in the country
and milk the cow than live in the city
and drive the milk wagon.

To quote James Whitcomb Riley, the
season is very nearly at hand when it
may be said that
eve been a-visiting away a week
And I've got the hives and a new straw
hat.
Now I'm going back home, where my
beau lives at
Over in Paris women are already wear
ing straw hats and any number of them
are seen here If the styles adopted are
fore-runners of what modishes will wear
after Easter they at once become of
interest
Neapolitan and erin, that pretty, silky,
horsehair that has been worn for long
time, will be in evidence the coming sea-
son. The shapes are bent in and out,
rolled back and caught with buckles,
shaped into points and bent in any fash
ion that is becoming.
Millinery will be as bizarre this spring
as it was the past season and the new
turbans which are so popular are de-
scrbed as bowl-shaped a la flower pot,
a la stove pipe, a la wash tub, la
tureen, la shade, a la dish pan,
and thousand and one other "a las
fashion are taking up the soft straw
chapeaux along with the heavy turbans
because of their extreme lightness and
convenience
For the Lenten season nothing will
be more popular than the flower turban.
1t is worn decidedly off the face, entire
ly concealing the Psyche knot and shows
the parted pompadour to great advtange.
While violets are among the favorite
flowers used for these pretty concets.
the very choicest turbans are made Of
orchids with few leaves of green. Shad-
ed lilacs also much used also the
purple iris, tiny pink rosebuds and dimin-
utive chrysanthemums.
Never before have hatpins been so
conspicuous as this season. small for
tune may be invested in these trinkets
and the multitudinous designs are SO be-
wildering that 1t takes much time and
patience to make a judicious selection.
Among the most attractive are the but
terf1ies made of briliants and interspersed
with coored stones of various kinds
From Partisan ateliers comes word that
the latest skirts are shaped on the old
circular lines. The front is laid in
narrow box plat and the only seam is in
the back.
One of the prettiest scarfs seen this
season was worn at the theatre the past
week by a modish whose taste is I'M
excelled. 1t was of pale pink gauge,
banded with ermine.
For evening footwear there is nothing
so attractive or popular as the slippers
of gold or silver worn with fiesh-colored
stockings.

The Prosaic Dishcloth.

This seems the most uninviting of SUBJ
jects,- yet not more so than the 12x12
crash when it has been forgotten by the
little unsophisticated housewife.
There are housekeepers who have delved
into corners and excited themselves I'M
duly over surface dust, and some who
have waded knee deep into an ocean of
theoretic germs, but have overlooked the
practical dishcloth. I say 1t in the sin
gular, advisedly, because they have but
one. They use 1t to the death and then
they cremate 1t in the kitchen range
There follows brief period of cleanii-
ness, after which the old neglect begins.
No woman understands the first prin-
ciples of hygiene until she has an in
stinctive feeling that 1t is best to buy
six dishcloths and to treat them to a
weekly bath in the regular wash as she
does the tea towels

The Best Dressed Man.

Look at his photographs in the weel5lies.
For grace and correctness his clothes are
unique.
Everything is right in this young mans

fit and height of his collar. the knotting
of his tie, the cut of his coat, the hang
of his trousers-everything is right, and
makes a rule that the world goes by.
