An all human love seems frozen
An the hull creation seems a-goin' to the

An she sings an trills like angels up

Then I'm lifted out of sadness
To world where all Is gladness
An the earth gifts bright an full of Joy
an love.
When the devil comes a-sayin':
s'Come along an do some playin'
You'll be winnin' cash to beat the very
band.
Come an take some ole rye whisky.
It will make you young an frisky.
How kin you resist highballs that are so
grand?"
Then's the time, thank God, my Mary,
Like an angel or some fairy,
Starts her hymn that wins me from the
snare
An / turn an lick the devil,
An / keep my head jist level,
An / try to live life that's on the
square.
Let's have more like Mary Amer,

An this world will git all holy light an

This ole world will jist git blended

A Phenomenal Memory.

The most interesting incident of the
Senate tariff debate in Washington
has been the speech by Senator Gore
of Oklahoma, who is totally blind.
In reply to Senator Lodges speech
raising question as to figures sub
mitted a few weeks ago by Mr.. Gore
purporting to give the earnings of Ger
tain cotton and wooden mills in New
England, the Senator from Oklahoma
with no assistance except his memory,
quoted complete statistics and without
the slightest hesitation, giving the
capital stock, surplus, percentage OF
dividends and the percentage of net
earnings of perhaps fifty different cor
porations in New England.
It showed an immense amount OF
labor in preparation, but the wonder
full thing about it was the showing
of such a retentive memory.
1t appears that Mrs. Gore reads to
her blind husband Srything he calls
for and he seldom has to have pas
sage repeated. Facts and figures are
indelibly impressed upon his mind,
and no Senator with two good eyes
can present statistics SO forcibly and
accurately. No wonder the Senator's
were amazed at his arguments, but
more amazed were they by the blind
Senator's phenomenal memory. SEN
ator Gore would make a good witness
in any kind of Court.

and a jumper for hot ones In some
; cases have added coat, though the
fashion for top wraps of extra thin
cloth has rather put the coat to the
frock out of commission.
As braiding is the keynote of almost
every gown Of the summer, have de-
veloped soutache into all kinds of fam
ciful contortions. 1 am particularly
happy over my success with pale
gray linen gown en- princesse that has
panels of braided white soutache that
start under the arms, beginning at
/, each side of the armhole and extend
ing nearly to the knees This is the
very latest note In trimming arrange
ment. and must tell you that the de-
sign is an Egyptian affair that looks
intricate, but is nothing more than
sharp pointed triangles placed close
together-that is, as closely compact
as they can be sewed together. To re-
lieve the grayness of this gown there
is a tiny touch of orange in the col
lar and about the cuffs, both of which
have been braided Worn with a big
gray chip hat faced with orange and
trimmed with shaded marigolds, /
hope to outdo the queen of Sheba and
make her glory pale into insignifi-
cance.
Another smart little gown ! am sure
you will be interested in is of natural
colored pongee with a plated skirt,
one of the new models that are per-
fectly tight fitting and gored to the
knees, where a killed f1ounce finishes
out the skirt. The waist is a Gibson
affair and perfectly plain save for a
fastening of brown satin covered but
tons and simulated buttonholes made
of the satin put on decidedly on the
slant. Another new wrinkle that is
appearing on coats and dress bodices
and not alone is the satin button con-
fined to unwashable materials, but
seen on linens as well.
AS we shall be spending one month
of the summer at Maine coast re-
sort, was obliged to have new
bathing suit. 1t Is carrying Goals to
Newcastle to tell you that the one
piece fad in gowns is repeated in
bathing suits. This is model be-
coming to slender figure giving a
1.-THE. mermaid effect, unusually at
| tractive These suits, however, should
be developed in inconspicuous ma
terials and colors, although there is
no doubt that we shall see them in
startling effects on the beaches. for
there are certain types of women who
are not content unless they are the
| center OF attention. My suit is Of
| navy blue tuscan silk, a new variety
that sheds water splendidly, and the
only touch Of color on the suit q won-
der whether white is color is the
Dutch collar of Irish crochet lace.
| The effect Of the white lace against
the neck Is very dainty and gives
distinctly feminine touch to the pic
