With summer passing, the white
light of fashion shifts to autumn
styles. In this glare the veil stands
out prominently, for every sign is
that it will be more popular than
ever this fall.
The modish veil will be rather
freakish. The spots and blocks
will be irregular in shape and po-
sition. The more irregularly they
are arranged the more stylish the
veil will be.
But bark! There is a greater ex-
IRENE than this. 1t is the use of
silver and gold tinsel in wells.
These wells are now selling IN
New York, having just been i'm
ported from Paris, where they are
in great vogue.
The edges of some of the wells
seen in New York are trimmed
with the tinsel. The more freak
ish of the wells have irregular
blocks and dots in silver and gold
tinsel. The effect is striking, as
may be imagined. A model who
placed one of these wells on her
face in Fifth avenue shop wore
long, pendant earrings, of black
glass. The sheen of the black and
the glitter of the metal dots
created an effect that might be
endurable in Paris. but that would
surely cause a blockade on an
American street.

hBERKELEY, CAL. July 90
Mate partial solution of the prob
l4m arising from the entry of
women into business life may be
found in a system providing pay
ment for housewives for domestic
services rendered, is the opinion
of Mrs. H. Richards, instructor of
chemistry at the Massachusetts In
stitute Of Technology In the
course of lecture before students
of the University of California
summer school, Mrs. Richards
said:
1--WE must come to a correct val
uation of the work done by women
inrthe home. 1t is because no eco
nomic value has been placed on
their work that women have
turned to vocations that bring rec
ompense. Women do not seek en-
vironments other than the home
because they are more pleasant;
on the contrary, they take up occu-
pations less agreeable because in
them their efforts are appreciated
and rewarded"

ACCORDING TO MORSE

When a fellow has worked for

Crouch Culthorpe, so every

Kitchens doesn't put ON enough

brains too slow said Culthorpe,
who put down one and raised up
another in the hotel business.
Kitchens had been passed over
three times in 10 years when Ashley

Day Clerk Potter stood for pro-

Culthorpe did not hurry up from

On the night he came, Hichens
at the desk got nod only as Cpl-

the vault. He always made those
trips to the safety vault when he

A new departure in canning. pre-
serving and jelly making is the
combination of two or more fruits,
which gives a very pleasing change
in flavors. At first thought one
might want to mix any or all sea-
sonable fruits together. This is not
the case, and the orrect combina-
tons of various fruits with differ
ent acids will require some careful
thought. Do not unite too many
fruits; two or three make de-
lightful change. Some fruits, such
as elderberries and blackberries,
need the addition of fruit with
plenty of acid, such as currants,
gooseberries, green grapes or tart
apples. AS many questions have
been asked regarding the uniting

DESTROYING OWN PROFESSION.
British Medical Journal Comments
on President Eliot's Address.

Special Cablegram 10 The star.
LONDON, March 17.-How medical men
are destroying their own profession as
means of livelihood is the subject of an
article in the British Medical Journal in
which a recent address by President
Eliot of Harvard University is quoted.
1T is doubtless true" says the British
Medical Journal. that the medicine of
the future will be to a large extent pre-
ventive. President Eliot does not point
out the remarkable fact that the prog
ress in science which is TO change the
healing art into preventive science, has
been the work of the doctors themselves.
The fact was surely remarkable enough
to deserve mention. for IL is the one ex-
ample of q profession striving to abolish
the reason for its cwn existence and to
dry up the sources from which IL draws
its livelihood.
And what is its reward? Hatred and
all uncharitableness on the part of
fanatics who IL they could. would stop
all progress; carefully measured en-
courasement from the state and from
public bodies. and Indifference from the
people at large. who, owing to the ex-
tinction of the scourges from which they
have been delivered. cannot appreciate
what has been done for their welfare.

his family to visit the steamer Ham

Mr.. Roosevelt explained today that

ercises at the College of the City OF
New York on Thursday evening be
cause he had decided, upon leaving
Washington, to attend no public func-
tions before his departure for Africa.
He had received hundreds of such in
