pretty when finished with a group
of wings at the left side, and an or
nament placed to hold the drapery
at the right.
Fig. 2 shows a model covered
with blue kid piped with white and
trimmed with a pair of large white
wings. The bow at the front is made
of the leather so that the entire hat is
of this material. The same model is
very pretty with the hat Of moire or
corded silk. and the trimming of vel.
vet or kid. 1t has already proved
popular made Of black moire, faced
with white and having a band of white
kid about the crown finished with a
fiat bow of the same at the left SIDE
This model is very elegant with broad
black velvet ribbon used for the front
bow, mounted with wings in white or
black (or both.)
Silk-covered hats hold the center of
the stage, and those of moire and
corded silk most popular. One of
them is shown in Fig. 3. They are
to be found in all sorts of colors and
color combinations, but black and
white in this hat has outdistanced all
others in the race for popularity. The
model shown is of white moire faced
with black. Its trimming is a triple
ruche of box-plaited maline about the
crown and upper brim, and a crushed
tie of velvet finished with knot at
the side. Such model is the best OF
between seasons millinery, and as
near to all-the-year-round wear as can
be found.

The Marriage Vow
NO BABES OR LOTS OF THEM?
BY MRS. VIRGINIA VAN De WATER

the face and announce that parents
have no more right to indulge in
numbers of children-crowding into
the nursery more money than the par
ents have, making the payment of
just debts impossible, and sapping the
courage of the father, and the
strength of the mother-than they
have to purchase houses and lands
for which they cannot pay. But,
when parents can buy luxuries that
are not necessities, and can indulge
their personal whims and wishes,
surely children have right to be-.
To bear and rear children is one of
the chief aims of woman's existence,
and until she has borne a child she
has not lived up to the purpose of
her being, and hers is not a full, round
life.
The Virginia enterprise., 1909-10-08

Viewed from a practical standpoint,
few other investments pay as do chill
dren. It is also true that four children
are little more actual trouble than are
two, and that the additional trouble is
compensated for in the pleasure they
bring by their companionship in their
childhood, and their protection as well
as companionship in the years to
come-when the parents begin to feel
! that they need strong young arms
about them. If you would know what
childless home means-imagine the
Christmas season without the little
ones. And look for just one sad mo-
ment at the home from which an only
child has been taken, and then ask if
one child is more a blessing than
many. That one gone, what is left
but years in which the arms must be
empty and the hearts must ache?
The Virginia enterprise., 1909-10-08

Yes, there is something worse-in.
f1nitely worse to those who know
what is really worth while, than a
family of many little ones-and that
is a family without any children. It
is not less pitiable because the parents
are ignorant of what they miss. When
old age and loneliness approach, they
will know. If God has denied them
offspring, may he comfort them; II
they blindly deny themselves Gods
greatest blessings-may he still pity
them, for they know not what they
do!

A question arose rs to what would
be the special luxury in which each
person present would indulge had she
unlimited means. The answers were
werious, some saying travel, others en-
tertaining, others numerous pictures,
books and brio a brac. One woman
who had said little during the con-
troversy was at last addressed, and
replied by saying that she had not
spoken before, as she knew none Of
those present would agree with her.
For" she said, flushing shyly, my
desire would be for a large family Of
children whom could have finely ed
ucated and to whom + could give all
the advantages I would want my boys
and girls to have"
Her remark was greeted with q
murmur of surprise and dissent.
DO you really mean that?" asked
one woman, incredulously.
Indeed I do," was the calm reply.
ITO my way of thinking there is no
greater happiness than for a woman
TO be surrounded by number of chill
dren. with the means to do them JUS
tice."
All, there's the rub. Surely 'tis a
pity that the dollar mark must shine
through everything as it does. an
ugly birth scar on the face of ma
ture.'
In many cases, however, it is not
the thought of the present expense

they will cost during the first few
years OF their life, that causes people
to wish. to have small families. It
IL rather the dread lest, when the
young people are old enough to enter
college, there will not be the finances
necessary to the completion of their
education. It would be we'll for those
WHO argue thus to remember that in
th1s country of ours few people have,
during the first years of marriage,
the money that is theirs 20 years
later.
l would not have anyone imagine
that advocate the bringing into the
world of more little ones than one
can, at the time, feed and clothe. But
l do hold that, when parents are
abundantly able to provide for their
children during childhood, they make
mistake in insisting that at birth
there must be on hand the money
with which to send their newborn
baby through college and set him
up in the business or profession he
may choose.

Under high cultivation wheat has
been known to yield 66 bushels De,

while the average yield may easilv he
made 40 bushels to the acre. The low
average of the yield so general in the

fertilizers. The power of increase in
a grain of wheat is astonishing, since

comes out of the ground.
There is no doubt that wheat bread

All women who are dressed according
to the new fashions stand out clear
lily. Suits and hats are definite, strik-

Women are not In mass as much as
they used to be. There is something
almost sensational about ar ordinary
street suit that is cut according to new
lines n made of new cloth, although
that cloth may be black, blue or brown.
If n wishes to De analytical, one

greater extent was the very short skirt.
Woe to the woman who hasn't a good
foot or who cannot afford good looking

Effect Is Bad.
The girl who wears a short skirt be-
cause of sanitary reasons is usually
old fashioned enough to wear square

far as grace and style is concerned, is
about as bad as one could hope to

She is the last one who cares. be-
cause she prides herself on dressing ac-

Other women wear short skirts for

HARRASSED is WOMAN
Who FOLLOWS STYLE
Fashions Change So Fast That
1t Is Nigh Impossible to
Keep Up With Them.

Many are the changes in the fash.
ions today, and the woman whose am
pltion in life is to be always gowned
according to the very latest style leads
a most harassed and perturbed exist
ence. Dame Fashion. she who must be
obeyed, II every little command Of hers
be followed, must certainly be a most
caprlclous, untrustworthy leader, ac-
cordlng to the impression given, first,
that one and II only model is to be
chosen and then within q weeks time
putting forward an entirely different
model AS the only one possible. To
keep a cool and answering opinion In
the face of such changes requires con-
siderable character and poise, for If too
much effort be made to follow out every,
order in detail the result is rarely good.
and the gowns lack something impos-
slble to define, unless it be a lack Of
finish. There are certain definite, fun
damental rules to be found, however,
under all the mass of %frippery and UNI
certainty, and If the foundation be
only we'll established it is not difficult
to work out endless variations.
Distinguishing Features.
Long lines small hips, close fitting
sleeves fiat trimmings, classic drap-
cries are a few of the distinguishes
features of the fashions this winter
and with these to work on or work out
the rest of the task is not nearly so
difficult as 1T may appear at first glance
at the latest designs. For some time
much has been said and written anent
the fashion for plain materials being
unusually popular this season, and
countless in number are the gowns, es-
p~ecially those for evening, which have
been made up on those ideas. Now
every day there are more Of the en-
broidered and figured materials to be
noticed: indeed, an absolutely plain
evening gown has suddenly become
rather striking in it's novelty.

AMERICAN BEAUTY sAcHET.

Each year sees a new fashion in -ar-
fume. The winter Of 1909 will give tc the
American Beauty the apples of success.
This is the new perfume, and the ul-
tra-fashionable thing of the day is to
have it in sachet or a drop of it for your
clothes or a cake Of soap to use on special
occasions.
The Americans have taken 1t up moi
only with patriotism but enthusiasm.
Heretofore they have always used the
French perfumes under French names.
The sachets of this sell from rs cents
up and are confined in an envelope OF
American Beauty satin. The odor is subtle
and lasting.
Only a small bottle OF the essence is
needed, as a drop is enough for a gown

Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless, nervous,
sallow, weak, and irritable. My wife
and / both LOVED coffee and thought 1t
was a bracer' (delusion).
FINALLY, after years of suffering, we
read Of Postum and the harmfulness of
coffee. and believing that to grow we
should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
When we made it right we liked 1t
and were relieved Of Ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the change
-fresher skin, sturdier nerves, better
temper, etc.
"These changes were not sudden, but
relief Increased as, we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
Many of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not

until it was dark and rich, they liked
1t better than coffee and were benefited
