In Missouri next year nine separate
amendments to the state constitution
are to be voted on and If the result
is as it always is in Ohio there will
be no changes in the constitution
Mansfield News.
Not on your tin-type. BY some
kind of hiatus in the intellectual
universe the organic law of Missouri
has some sense to it and constitu-
tional amendment needs to have but
a majority of the votes cast on that
proposition and not majority of the
whole number of votes cast at that
election to adopt it. Had that been
the case in Ohio last year all the
amendments would have carried by
big majorities.

fur without being heavy, and they are
quite inexpensive, considering the prices
of the average hats of today.
Millinery prices have advanced so stead
lily within the past few years that many
women have taken to making their own
hats, buying good materials and copying
styles in the best shops. 1t is always
wisest to find among the trimmed models
a becoming style. then buy the shape and
cover it with good material and trim
mings, and taking care that each little
twist and Quirk of the material is faith
fully reproduced for it is the proper ar
rangement of the material on the right
shape that makes the finished product a
success.
One often complains that trimming
sewed on does not look the same as when
pinned in place. There's much truth in
this, as any miliner knows. The amateur
milliner is apt to sew her trimmings too
securely and consequently too closely to
the hat. Specially is this true OF plumes.
These should be caught firmly, but never
tight to the hat. and the ends should be
given plenty Of liberty to nod and sweep
by a double thread running from the in
side to the crown of the hat.

so many members of the Danish royal
family gathered together that it prac-

more than half the world.
Il have found Copenhagen one of the
most charming cities in the world in
which to make a home Apart from the
historic interest there are so many other
considerations. Thorwaldsen attracts the
art lovers and nearly every one pays
tribute to Hans Andersen. The Queen
of England, who had the honor of know
ing that gentle philosopher of childhood
and who heard many of his most famous
tales read from the manuscript, always
visits his statue in the park Of the Rosen-
borg and places her tribute of flowers at
his feet. OF course, hundreds of thou
sands Of visitors do so annually, but the
devotion OF Queen Alexandra to the MEM

statue is surrounded by beds of forget

entertaining study to look upon the

and chairs Of four centuries of kings and
queens. And when SO many Of the world s
rulers may be seen in such appropriate
setting it proves how vast a source of
knowledge and enjoyment may be pro-
cured in residing in Copenhagen.

which endears the people to the stranger
