Forty-five years in court now is the
longevity record of litigation in Chi
cago courts. A supplemental bill and
demurrer against it is to be argued
beore Judge Windes, almost two gen
erations later than the date when AL
bert Price shook his fist under the
nose of s. j. Walker and swore that he
would not relent in litigating their dis
pute until, as he put it, "Hell froze
over" This case is pointed to as a
conspicuous illustration of possible de-
lays at law, which President Taft
pointed to az a blight on American
jurisprudence. price ct al. VS. Walk

Cook county for forty years., The
Holiday case then died a natural
death because all OF the ntigants had
passed to their account, and no one
was left to litigate. The Price-Walker
case grew out OF the migration OF Sam

of the opening of a subdivision by him

A Novel Bazaar.

A rather novel affair for church or
charity entertainments is a round the
world tour.
Get at least ten persons to lend their
houses or grounds No matter if the
distance between them is great. If
rather far apart, enjoyment is greater.
Also secure the free use of as many
automobiles as you can get.
Each house is devoted to a different
country and Is treated accordingly.
Only the lower rooms need be used,
or, if preferred, pavilions or tents can
be erected in the grounds.
The hostess should act as chairman
for her special country, and there
should be a corps of assistants for each
country. As far as possible select the
assistants with reference to their type,
Thus the round faced, smiling blond
should be assigned to Holland or Ger
many, no matter how much the chair
man of Japan would like her help.
Each house or ground that repre-
sents a special country should be dec
Grated typically of that land. The as
the peasants. Any special foods or
dishes that are peculiar to the people
should be served, and the articles for
sale should be such as are specially
associated with the country. Thus
Holland could be represented by some
one who had a small pond or stream
running through their grounds. There
could be bargeS or small boats manned
by Dutch sailors TO take passengers for
a ride-for a consideration. Near the
shore could be huge dairy arranged,
the dairymaids arrayed in short skirts,
tapping caps and sabots. A COW or
two can be tethered to the outside of
the dairy, and pretty milkmaids on
fetching stools can fill the cup of buy
ers with fresh warm milk.
Use the pretty blue and white china
with Dutch scenes painted on it.
Have paper napkins, also Dutch, and
sell dairy products, cheese, milk, CO.
Goa, Dutch cake, schnitz, brown bread
and potato salad. There could also be
on sale sabots, tulips and other bulbs,
either in bloom If the season be au-
spicious or some good varieties for
planting in the autumn.
Perhaps enc could get a jeweler to
donate small pieces of Dutch silver to
sell on commission, and small prints
of Dutch pictures framed in narrow
wooden or dark paper frames could be
sold at good profit
Aim at novelty as far as possible in
every nation. Thus. instead of having
India typifed by it's foods and trim
kets. there might be tent or stage
draped with oriental hangings and
have nautch dances, readings Of crys-
tai balls, astrologers and other fortune
telling stunts. There could be snake
charmer or juggler for further amuse-
ments, and through the audience could
glide yelled maidens selling Indian
sweetmeats, good luck charms and
small idols.

SUMMER FANCIES.

Very smart and saucy looking is the
athletic girl in her newest MILDLY
blouse. 1t is of regular khaki cloth,
with a very little bit of trimming in
red. Around the left arm above the
elbow is a soldier-like stripe of the
color.
Instead of having two squares OF
material Sewed together around the
edges, some of the newest sofa pillows
are made with covers all in one piece
The pillow is placed diagonally in the
center and the corners brought to-
gether, forming cross. In the soft
new cretonnes these pillows are espe-
cially attractive.
Kindergarten handkerchiefs are a
summer novelty for the children. The
little squares are stamped with scenes
from kindergarten games, such as a
group of children playing ring around
a rosy" or 1.-The pigeon" or model les
sons in the we'll known kindergarten
understanding, weaving, representa-
lions of first, second, third and fourth
SutS, etc.
There is a new material for table
covers and sofa cushions which looks
cool and comfortable for the summer
house or porch. 1t is woven after the
fashion and in the design Of the old
time rag carpets and comes in green
and white. tan and white, blue and
white and brown with little touches
of orange and black In effect it is
somewhat like very heavy burlap, and
it has the merit of being washable.

Mothers Worried About Daughters
Meeting the Wrong Men.

Mothers Worried About Daughters
Meeting the Wrong Men.
More than one young womans moth
er is making herself unnecessarily
miserable this summer for fear the
cherished daughter will want to marry
the wrong sort of man. Her worry is
as u>"'t,.. - = + i''t cf pare i" III

one is more competent to make the de-
cision than the two young people in
volved
This is, of course, a modern view
and one that presupposes no such in
volved requirements as were wont to
be laid down in the days when par
ents, on the assumption of the infalli-
bility of their own wisdom, arranged
matches according to their own ideas
Such times are happily nearly extinct
in this country. for the young Ameri-
can woman feels it her inalienable
right to take portion of her destiny
into her own hands.
Mothers have one right that none
but writer's of melodrama will deny
them-that is, to insist on a daugh-
ter's waiting until she is old enough
to marry. The maturity not of years
but of experience, is safeguard with
out which few can risk that decision
which is to the woman the destiny of
the best two-thirds Of her lifetime.
She must know herself and she must
know men. She must have some
groundwork of comparison, some def
mite standard on which to base her
judgment, for every quality is relative.
and the man who may seem. to the
seventeen-ycar-old marvel of clever
ness may bore her at twenty-three
Nor does the seventeen-year-old yet
know her own tastes and temperament
sufficiently to know whether any given
person is congenial.
Till she has attained her full growth
come to realize her own needs, how
can she tell anything about who can
fulfill those needs?
Statistics show that twenty-five
years ago girls married at the average
age Of nineteen. Owing possibly to
the complexity of present day condi-
lions this average has risen to about
twenty-four years, and it ought to be
even higher for the college girl, who
practically stops living the life of ex-
perience during those years that she
devotes to her books.
There is also the question Of what
one owes the nation, though this for

qualities on which personal happiness
depends. ] refer to health and
strength, for the fine physical specimen
can make way against all odds, be-
sides having the one heritage that
money cannot buy to hand down to the
children.
Incidentally. as the scientists are
every day pointing out to us, good
health has a good deal to do with good
brains and disposition. The value of
this one vital qualification every moth
er owes it to her daughter to impress
upon her, and if it were oftener done
it is safe to say that there would be a
very great deal less misery of all sorts.

Particular About the Plates.

hotels and restaurants nearly all his
life and who is notably absentminded,

about a subject that interests him.
went out to dinner the other night.
He had plunged into discussion be-
fore dinner and was continuing it ami
matedly throughout the oyster and
soup courses. When the fish plates
were placed on the table he followed
the usual custom of the man who lives
at hotels and wiped the plate off with
his napkin. Instantly a butler re-
moved it and placed another.
Deep in his discussion. the guest
wiped that one with his napkin, and
the butler replaced that. This hap
pened a third time, and then the host
ess said: please do not do that any
more assure you the plates are per-
