we'll as to the cities and the rural
sections which will be directly
affected. Millions of dollars
worth farm and forest products
are wasted every year simply
because of bad roads. The peo-
pie who possess loses, the mar
kets of the cities failing to get the
products for their many consum-
ers, the railroads lose the freight
the substance so badly needed
perish on account of bad roads.
The loss can not be fully meas
ured under present conditions
nor the blessings appropriated
by the building of substantial
roads throughout the country.
At present the country is not
holding enough of it's most enter
prising and progressive young
men. Their very natures rebel
at the uninviting surroundings
and they bid farewell to the
farm, go to the towns or cities,
many to engage in business of
hazard with an equal chance of
failure as they had upon the
farm. In the face of such con-
ditions, in every state, it is high
time that all the states and the
national government should seek
a remedy and apply it as speedy
as possible. The building of the
roads is a tremendous PROPOSE
ton but our country is great and
powerful, both in men and re-
sources, and this could be accom-
plished without impoverishing
our treasures or depressing the
people. A small state tax sup
plemented by national aid would
start the movement that could
not be checked. The National
treasury could spare several mil
lions of dollars every year for
this purpose by living within a
sane and economical sphere and
not cripple it's interests in any
department. The rivers and har-
bors are to be improved, but the
building and maintaining of an
overgrown navy and army is
merely a matter of pride and no
necessity or blessing. If the
surplus money, expended on the
fighting equipments of our coun.
try for the last few years, could
have been used to lift Americans
and the products Of the farm
from myre of the country our
conditions would be much i'm
proved. The policy and tenden-
cy to ride the seas, supported by
a navy and backed by an army
that will finally sap the very life
of the country, needs to be check
ed while the blessings and ad.
vantages for the rural districts
need the strongest stimulants
our government can give. Wars
may come, troubles of great
magnitude may arise, but the
strongest, sofest and surest
means of defense is invest
ed in the patriotism a n d
in t ellig ence of the great
common people, and, in a large
measure, their places of abode
are the hills and valleys on the
side of the country roads, good
only in dry weather and nearly
impossible in rainy weather.

CURIOUS PHASES OF POLTTENESS

THE po1itest Of Eastern peoples, the Japan
ese, remove their slippers on the departure
of guest and with genial smile announce,
THE honorable guest is about to leave his
wretched servants despicable house. ] regard
theei"
The poitest of Western peoples, the French
under similar circumstances say, An revoir,
mon anil"
When the Turk bids one farewell, he crosses
his hands on his breast and makes a profound
obeisance.
The Germans "Lebeu sic uohl" is not par
tcularly sympathetic; but it is no doubt less
embarrassing to the parting guest than is the
action of the Hindu. who, when his friend de-
parts, falls into the dust at his feet.
In Russia they make use of an exceedingly
brief form of declaration, the single word,
" PrdsChat," which sounds much like a sneeze.
The Filpino's parting benediction is be
slowed by rubbing with his hand the face Of
the departing one
When parting from each other, Fiji Islanders
cross two red feathers, b. way of showing their
politeness; and natives of New Guinea ex-
change chocolates
The Burmese, with low bow murmur,
"Hib, hib" in the ear Of the departing one.
South Sea Islanders, generally speaking,
rattle each others whale teeth necklaces
1t is an odd fact that, with reference to the
act of sneezing, there exists nearly everywhere
some equivalent of God bless you" with
which We salute the person who sneezes
Evening star., 1909-03-07

In France there is sometimes added to this
salutation the expression. land preserve you
from the fate of Tycho Brahe," who is sup
posed to have met his death while in the throes
of violent fit of sneezing.
In England regular formula is used: Once
for wish, twice for kiss. three times for a
letter, and four times for a disappointment. I"
The Italian form of the sneeze salutation is
simply "Felie,tnl" (May you be fortunate).
When one sneezes in India, the Hindu ex-
claims fervently, May you hve!" to which
one is expected to reply, Long life to you!"
1t is said that should Hindu chance to sneeze
while proceeding with his ablutions in the holy
Ganges, he will make peculiar sign over his
face, stop in his ritual and begin all over again.
The Germans say Good health!' because
they maintain, and not without reason, that
the sneeze is a warning of the approach of a
cold, and also marks the movement when a
charm, a wish, or suggestion may drive it
away. The Persians 60 further in this di-
rection, inasmuCh as they exclaim, God be
thanked" It's being held that the sneeze has
actually put to flight some evil spirit that was
about to gain entrance to a mans body In
order to feed upon his sacred fires.
The old Romans held that to sneeze between
noon and midnight was good omen; but that
to sneeze between midnight and noon was a
very bad sign. Also, to sneeze while in the act
of rising from bed was an omen of such dread
full import that one should at once return to
bed for awhile.

GUIMPES.

The guimpe occupies very important
place in the bodice Of this season IS
dress. 1t is in the range of the or
binary person IS vision, and must fit we'll,
besides offering decorative spot in
the bodice.
The tiny yokes, which sometimes
seem TO be merely an extension of the
collar, are frequently made of net,
braided in designs that exploit soutache
and rat-tail by the yard. Jet is used
on black, appearing in lines or heavily
embroidered. Many net foundations
have chain stitching in colors; in other
guimpes a solid design in duh shades,
with perhaps one brilliant note, gives
richness to the foundation. One beau
tiful guimpe of gown has a founda
ton of gray net upon which an en-
broidered vine trails. Velvet leaves are
appliqued, and the effect is handsome
combination, which, by the way, can
be made at home by any clever woman.
Time and energy used in fashioning
your guimpe will add considerably to
an otherwise plain frock.

FAN BRACELETS.

An ingenious jeweler has decided to
have no more lost fans in the theaters
or bathrooms. He has fashioned brace
let which holds the tiny hand fan Sc
curely, yet gives easy manipulation and
graceful movement of the wrist. He
first contrived a carved tortoise shell
to which was attached dull gold chain.
The shell handle of the fan carried out
the carved idea. This was so success
fnl and so sensible that other more in
dividual ideas have been evolved White
Ivory, carved so delicately that it is
hard to realize that it is not band
of cream lace around the wrist, is
used for the bracelet of white fan
which hangs from a silken cord. Then
there is lovely jet idea from which
Is suspended a black spangled fan. Gold
and silver ornamented with Jewels are
legion. Indeed, the bracelet is won
derfully decorative ring, which com
bines beauty with utility in this new
thought for evening wear.

MONUMENT TO FIRST WOMEN

The Boston Transcript-Tablets and
monuments to the "firstD increase aud
multiply. This week New York has
placed many historic tablets in position,
not all of them referring to Hudson or
Fulton. On the site of Fort Tryon is a
new battle tablet on which it is said that
Margaret Corbin was the first American
woman to take a soldier S part in the
war for liberty, having fought the Hes
sian troops at that point on the 10th of
November, 1916. This is interesting, if
true, and it may be true. Radford, Va,
this week has dedicated a monument of
considerable sculptural pretension to
Mary Draper Ingles, said to have been
the first English bride married west of
the Alleghanies. Without questioning
the good faith of the promoters of these
two memorials, it may be asked if all
those who erect testimonials to the
:" first are sure of their facts. The
first is almost as dangerous a word
as the ''last' for the continual delv-
ing in old documents now in progress
sometimes strips the claim of seniority
from those who have heretofore borne
it exempt from criticism.

RICH RIBBONS.

Ribbons need but the merest added
touch of elegance each season to push
them into unusual prominence. They

especially for fancy work is more than
usually rich. The fashion for brocade
has touched the silk surface of many
beautifully tinted ribbons and left them
literally sprinkled with flowers, leaves
and sprays.
Heavy ottoman corded ribbons are
printed with flowers upon their white
and delicately colored backgrounds.
Heavy satin ribbons are now turned
and twisted by the delft fingered into
roses for hats and corsage bouquets.
Smaller rosebuds are made of the mar
rover widths for festoons and wreaths

grandma's party frock.
Sashes for young girls are cleveriy

inch pompadour ribbon sewn together.

The idea is repeated in an apron ma 10

ribbon between the wider material.
These little gauze ribbons echo the
color of the flowers in the Dresden nat

proofs of the prevalence of the beaded
idea.
There has been no decrease in the
quantity of band trimmings and em-
broideries, and this year beads and Sc
gums seem to have rained down on
them. The most elegant are not copy
able, but all the less elaborate supply
ample opportunity for the dainty fancy
worker. Again may it be told that the
tissue paper patterns basted beneath
the net band is first step in the right
direction, and second very important
one is the choosing of a design that is
compact. so that embroidery, beads and
sequins win cover the surface and con
zeal the threads that run from bead to
bead on the wrong side of the design.
The application of jet, silver, gold or
gun-metal sequins upon band of trim
ming already embroidered is nice work
and much less difficult than the making
of the entire trimming.

Edible Flowers


Most of us are apt to regard the arti-
choke as vegetable, whereas as mat
ter of fact it appears upon our table as
the unopened flowers of plant. If they
are left on the plant they eventually
turn into handsome purple blossoms
This statement has reference to that
species of thistle known as the "globe
artichoke.'
DR.. Johnson called the caulifower
'the finest flower in the garden" This
statement was accurate, for when the
snowy vegetables of that name are
served to US we see nothing more than
the unexpanded flowers of a variety Of
cabbage.
Among other flowers that are eaten
may be mentioned cloves and capers.
The first named are the immature bios
SENS of plant of the myrtle order,
growing in the Moluccas. This takes
the form of beautiful evergreen, some
times thirty or forty feet in height.
with lovely crimson flowers. The buds
are first light colored, then green, and
finally red. At this stage they are
gathered and dried The diminutive
round knob in the centre of the Glove
is the unexpanded crimson blossom
Capers, those familiar trimmings for
mutton and other meats and dishes, are
the unopened flowers of a brambe-like
shrub that grows on the shores of the
Mediterranean Sea. The trailing plant
shows handsome pinkish-white flowers
with long tassels of stamens. The
youngest and tenderest of the buds
form the finest capers, known as non
pareii. AS they flower they become
superfne, capucin, and capot capers.
The chrysanthemum is now made the
basis of a dainty salad, served with a
sauce made of cream.
Another flower, the lily, contributes
in a more solid form to the menu in
certain parts of China There the dried
flowers of particular species of lily
are highly esteemed as a relish with
meats, especially pork. At Chinkiang,
on the Yangtse, these lily flowers ac-
count for nearly one-fourteenth of the
value of the exports.

MORE BLOUSES.

MORE has invaded the realm of the
blouse; supple moire which is lustrous
and lends itself to graceful adaptations
In tailored designs, is, of course, the
material to which we refer. The water

HAND-PAINTED SLIPPERS.

In the present age, when little de-
tails of costume are considered impor-
tant, and when the ornament of the hair
is weighed in a critical balance lust
as carefully as the girdle of an even
ing gown, it is not surprising that the
slippers come in for their share of artistic
consideration. These are now painted
to match the gown or any especial dee
orative note in the costume.
White kid is extremely dainty when
pink rosebuds or blue forget-me-nots
are displayed on the instep. ANY color
can bloom in the form of delicate
flower, with probably sparkling jewel
IN the center. 1t is new idea, and the
point which appeals most emphatically
is that these beautiful slippers can he
made at home by the artist of the
family.

FRINGING,

To fringe with the least possible
trouble, clip the edge of the crash or
linen up from the bottom at distances
Of SIX to eight inches. Each clip should
be the depth of the fringe YOU intend
to make. The drawing out of these
shorter threads will often prove less
laborious and not so injurious to the
material
1t is well to know. also. that the
drawing of linen threads is made easiest
if the dressing has first been removed
Brush heavy lather made from good
white soap along the space from which
You wish to draw the threads. Let
this dry in and it viii disturb the
original dressing so that the rlreaIs
may be more readily drawn out
