Niceties of Correspondence

If anything distresses me-, said dainty little housewife as she looked over the morning mali, it is to find written communications, whether business or per- sonal, which bespeak carelessness. I do is not exactly folded an envelope which is addressed upside down, or which bulges because the paper is a misfit. Perhaps I am fussy, but all the same, l do wish people would give more attention to these details of their' correspondence; l think the extra moments it would take would be but few, and I am sure the habits formed would be well worth cultiyatng."

For winters rains and ruins are over, And all the season of snows and sins; The days dividing lover and lover. The light that loses, the night that wins;
 And time remembered is grief forgotten. And frosts are, slain and flowers begotten, And in green underwood and cover Blossom by blossom the spring begins.

For the Kitchen Towels

If there are no drawers for the purpose. an excellent substitute for keeping the kitchen towels in order is a box. It is not necessary to get a regular shirtwaist box; a plain box from the grocer's will answer. Cover it with dark denim. Fasten two partitions in the inside, so there will be three separate compart- ments for the towels. and you will then have a place for the coarser dish towels, the glass towels and the kitchen hand towels

Variations Of the boIero are without number. There seems to be no limit to the changes that can be wrought in this single part of the costume.

As to Outside Pockets

In putting a pocket on the outside of a coat or dress, especially when of heavy material. see that the stitching runs above the edge of the pocket. This will prevent the pocket tearing at the side.

 Diyan?

If you are the fortunate posessor of a divan, and the divan is guilty of being uncomfortable little suggestion as to remedying this may not be amiss.
 The extreme width of divans is the cause of discomfort in most cases, and this can be differently arranged by the bling up of large, hard pillows to fill out and support the softer ones heaped upon them.
 These are usually thrown rather care lessly on the divan, and people can ad- just them to suit their taste, and the sup port given by the large ones makes it possible to be comfortable.

HARVARD LOSES
FOOTBALL STARS
BIG GAP IN THE LINE TO BE
FILLED BY THE CRIMSON
THIS YEAR.
Center and Guards Will Not Be Back
This FaII-First Bear Season of
Gridiron History.

BOSTON, Sept. 3.-Harvard football
prospects are not as bright since the
results of the summer school and tu-
toring reports have been made known.
1t is stated by competent authority
that Coach Haughton will not have the
services of Bob Mckay at left tackle
this fall The big fellow is at odds
with the college office and will not be
allowed to play.
The followers of the sport at Harvard
had looked on .'DOno' Minot, one OF
the second team backs of last fall, to
play the fulloack position in place of
Yer Wiebe. The burly back weighs
nearly 200 and last fall proved one of
the hardest rushing propositions that
the varsity had to face.
Just before the team left for Farm
ington he tore Houghton's pet line into
tatters and gained at will through the
men who held the hard hitting Ellis.
Two other men who were expected to
appear in this falls lineup are Water
bury. coach of the freshmen last fall,
and II. A Rogers, the star end on the
second team Both men are down in
their studies, and will not qualify.
Waterbury is a fairly good fullback and
has played fullback considerably. Rog-
ers is a clever end and one of the best
handlers of the forward pass seen on
Soldiers field last fall. After the mid
year examinations last winter Crawley,
the regular right end. left college, and
Rogers looked good for the vacant po-
sition.
OF course, the head coach has a lot
of available material in the first-strina
men and substitutes, and will draw on
last years freshman team. The loss
of Minot and Mckay is a keen one. and
the fullback and left tackle positions
will be hard to fill
The development of the center posi-
tiOns forms another bugabOo of the
coaches. for with the graduation OF
Nourse, center and Burr and HOar

Insurgents Will Make Things Interest

That is the opinion of members here

are rather pleased that the speaker
treated them in this way-it gives
them more ammunition for the mex!
battle and it only strengthens their
contention that the greatest of all evils
in the present government of the house
is the Speakers power of suppressing
men on committees, or in packing
the committees so that they will be

Then. too. Speaker Cannon's reputa-
ton wasn't enhanced particularly by
the course he adopted during the tar

high duty advocates. 1t was Uncle

nearly So much-in the fight as there
would be in bringing two unknown ban

trouble caused by the late Ketchel and

known that it was not the fight which
caused a general closing up Of the
National club Politics did the work

, ed that he will ask congress next ses-
sion to enact new railroad legislation.
He favors progressive laws, which will
give the government greater regulative
power over railway operations. So
far, Speaker Cannon has stood sharply
against such legislation, and he is hos
tile to any attempt further to increase
the governments supervisory power
over corporations.
1t has more than once been whis-
pered that the president has small SYM
pathy with the One Man house of rep
resentatives. He doesn't like 'czars"
and Iron Dukes" He wants a really
representative house of representa-
tives. and it would MT be at all a sur
prise to members to see the guns of
the administration leveled against Cam
nonism at the next session.
Meanwhile the insurgents are busy
cults laundering denunciations of the
speaker No one has yet had the te-
merity to tour the country in his favor.
And so the sentiment against the house
machine grows 1t is safe to predict
that some of those members who have
been most active in their support OF
Uncle Joe and most concerned in the
coercive methods he uses. will have a
hard time getting reelected the next
time

all sorts of athletic trials of skill, and
on that sanction it has been running
ever since. Billy Gibson and the other
officers of the club have been running
the club along lines laid out by law,
and, although many have tried, they
have not been able to secure evidence
been violated. None but real members
of the club have been permitted to
see the fights in this arena, and even
though the assessments for the coming
contest will be high and the expenses
great the letter of the law will be lived
up to.

their work is not likely to set the world

encouraging, it does not remove any
doubt of having a stOne-Wall defense
While the uncertainty of Mckay'S ELI

an encouraging nucleus, but altogether
as Graduate Manager Garcelon says, it
leaves the weakest combination from

nevertheless it is believed they. are

Tim Hurst from the staff of umpires,

But while we are on the subject
would it not be weIr for Ban Johnson
to discipline some of his players for
abuse of the umpires. There is abso-
lutely no reason why baseball player
or a baseball captain or manager shuld
make a protest about play while the
game is in progress. In fact, a player
has no right When the men who make
