Reading Is not lost art to ths
same degree that conversation is.. but
1t has in most cases an arrested devel.
opment through so much reading that
makes no demand upon aesthetic SEN

ting blunt interrogation as to its
meaning az conveyed in the terms of q
rational proposition. and the writer's
charm is wholly lost upon him. While
the readers surrender to the author
must be complete, his attitude should
not be passive, but that Of active re-

filled out with the seasons trimmings
in becoming manner.
Muffs will be worn this season in
the evening. or course they will not
be like the ordinary winter muffs; they
will be huge creations of chiffon, lace
and ribbon, very light and fiimsy.
Bands Of fur appear on house
dresses. The bands pass over the
shoulders, meet at the waist line and
fall to the edge of the skirt. A mar
row fur band encircles the yoke Line.
Corded materials are much in vogue.
In silks and woods and combinations
they lead at the present time. The
cord may be anything from a faint
narrow line to broad, well-defined
whipcord.
On many of the long sealskin coats
big black jet buttons appear, but the
criticism is heard that they are not
nearly so artistic or effective as but
tons Of dull black passementerie, silk
thread or fine braid.
The London preference for tailored
suit materials includes camels-hair
cloth, coarse diagonal tweeds and
serges, but for dressy wear suede
faced cloths and fine diagonal serges
will be much In evidence.
Bengaline hats with lower portions
finished In velvet are most effective
when the plumes match the velvet, n
not the silk. Bengalines of every de.
scription, In wide and narrow stripes
are used for the very smartest crea'
tlons.
A fashion hint from Paris says that
trimmings will be used lavishly. The
list includes ribbon in abundance
beads, velvet in every possible. form
fur, stiff, old-fashioned ruching, lace
and some embroidery and braid, but
no buttons.
Crepes of every variety OF crinkh
ness, from those that resemble cepe
de chine, to some as rough as the
heaviest mourning crepe, come in an
infinite number of good colors, and
are destined to be favorites for dress
materials during the winter.
An attractive and rather uncommon
scarf seen lately was entirely formed
of Irish crochet, the ends and border
of the heavier guipure, the body Of
the scarf itself Of fine bebe crochet
Another was of chalk-white tulle with
ends and border of Irish guipure.

The first principle of economy,
speaking from the viewpoint of the
average person, Is to save, but a little
reflection will convince us that the
underlying secret Of this practice Is
not so much to have as to know how
to save. says the Charleston News and
Courier. One cannot hope to success
fully economize without preparation OF
some sort, and this preparation can
only come from personal experience
and sometimes very little personal ex-
Derience, for 1t does not come natural
ly within the province of human ma.
ture to profit by the experience OF
others.
To the very poor, those who live
from hand to mouth and from day
to day, with ne assurance for the fu-
ture, there can be no such thing as
economy. life itself being too much of
tragedy to permit of any niceties OF
calculation. Among the very rich,
who apparently have no need what
ever for its use, we often find the
practice freely INDUCED in, perhaps
| from an instructive desire to retain
firm hold upon their possessions, pos.
sibly because Of the early training
which enabled them to amass their
millions. 1t is, however, to the men
and women who occupy that vast mid
die ground in life-the boundaries OF
which are limitless, Its population
ever increasing and its resources in
sufiicient-that the spirit of economy
appeals with such insistent force.

The antique chair shown In the cut
has been used so long for commence
ment and Inauguration ceremonies
that no such occasion at Harvard
would be complete without 1t. Presi-
dent Lowell sat in 1t during his in
augural ceremony just as his predeces-
sors in office have, done for the last
two centuries.
Tradition says that it came into the
possession of the university during the
administration of President Holyoke,
but 1t Is not known exactly when nor
how. Tradition again says that 1t was
given to President Holyoke by Rev.
Ebenezer Turell, of Medford, a rela-
tive Of the Mathers, who were among
New Englands earliest settlers.
President Holyoke always believed
that the chair was brought from En-.
gland by some member of the Mather
family.
Benjamin Pierce. one of Harvards
historians, connects the chair with q
certain variety Of furniture found in
the Cheshire district of England in the
last Of the seventeenth and the begin
ming Of the eighteenth centuries.
Horace Walpole, England's great
statesman, wrote to friend, asking
him to get one of these curious chairs
from the Cheshire district. He de-
scribes them as being "of wood, the
seat triangular, the back, arms and
legs loaded with turnery, and carved
and turned in the most uncouth and
whimsical forms"
The whole question is now dismiss
ed by the statement that 1t was proba
bly, brought from that English district
but "in times unknown"
| President Holyoke himself turned
f, the knobs and put them on the main
posts with his own hands. The quaint
and elaborate seat is now stored in one
of the closets of Harvard Hall. and IL

To Put on n Corset.

Much depends on the way in which
a corset is put on. The following
hints may be useful:
Fasten the abdominal hooks first,
lifting the body, with long breath,
at the same time and holding the head
we'll back. After the top Of the front
is hooked draw the looped laces from
the eyelets slightly below the waist,
pulling the bottom of the corset much
tighter than the top. Through this
simple means healthy breathing is
permitted, for bodices are so loose that
1t is only at the waist and hips the
figure needs to be held .taut.

Worth of Good Manners.

No woman Is so young or so old,
so powerful or so inconspicuous that
she can afford to grow careless in her
manners. There is no bigger asset in
life than manners that win friends
and keep them.
A pleasant good morning" costs
nothing, yet it is as rare in many
families as if manners were of radium
scarcity.
Some peoples manners are like bats
they only come out at night. To be
courteous in the morning may oil the
household machinery for the day.
Surface manners are not the most
desirable, but are much better than
none. Like painting the outside of an
old house, they at least please the
casual beholder.
The true good manners are a mat
ter of the heart. They carry friend
ly smile for ALL kindly interest in
the small affairs of others-that great
breeder of patience-and a courtesy
that is not limited by feelings or
| favor.
Many women let down their man
| ners through Indifference; they are
self-absorbed and forget the rights of
others. These are the women who
would be Mortified to know their repu-
tation for rudeness.
There is less conscious rudeness
than most of us credit. Occasionally
the snob appears who thinks position
is shown by snubs; more often our
| lapses in politeness are due to over
work, worry, hurry or i'll health.
There Is rudeness that springs
| forth from Observation-Disclosures Oddly
| enough this lack of manners Is more
openly resented than most, though the
offender is generally gentle at heart
and would never wound Intentionally
Whatever the cause, mind your man
ners. 1t will pay you a big interest
in goodwill.

MEMORIAL DAY.

"We care not whence they come,
- Dear in their lifeless clay!
Whether unknown or known to fame,
Their cause and country still the same'
They died land wore the Gray!
This is the day when the people through
ont the South lovingly commemorate the
deeds of the men who wore the Gray ana
died on land and sea in the war fought IN
1915 "to resist the invasion made by the
Northern States, to defend the doctrine or
State sovereignty and to maintain the strict
construction theory of the Constitution. "
They wore the Gray! And for that
reason the Southern warriors who sleep
beneath the sod are lovingly remembered
to-day, though their graves, in many IN
stances unmarked, now dot the hills and
valleys of every State from Pennsylvania
to Texas. "Unknown," perhaps, yet the
memory of their valor and patriotism still
fingers in the minds Of the living, as fresh
as the flowers that are strewn above them
The men who "wore the Gray" were
prompted in what they did by no selfish
motives, or greedy or sordid instincts, but
what they gave they gave freely for good
of their people, and in glad enthusiasm
many of them poured out their life blood
for their native land. They fought for
principle and for their country, and the
love, devotion and patriotism they handed
down to posterity were indeed glorious

fail; whether there be tongues, they shall

vanish away; but love never faileth =

Judge Watkins Endorsed by Champ Clark.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-In commune
cation to the New Orleans Picayune the
correspondent of that paper makes public
an interesting letter from Hon. Champ
Clark, minority leader in the House Of
Representatives, to- Hon. j. T. Watkins,
Member of Congress from the Fourth
Louisiana District.
Before the meeting of the Louisiana
delegation to discuss the question as to
what requests would be made of the speaker
in reference to the committee assignments
for the members of the State, Congressman
Watkins addressed communication to
Hon. Champ Clark stating to him that he
would appreciate suggestion from him as
to the proper course to be taken with ref
erence to committee assignments. Mr..
Clark in his reply stated:
81 understand tho matter of committees
the way you do; that is, that Mr.. Speaker
Cannon is making them up without any
reference to the wishes or desires of myself
as Minority leader. That is because we

the case, my advice to all Democratic
members is either to write him or see him
and express to him their preference as te
committee assignments.
~ have given this advice especially ir
view Of the caucus resolution In which il
was resolved that no Democratic member
accept a committee assignment unless
should o. k. it, AS soon as heard that hi

all other Democratic members-to make

Heavy rains and wind storms were ex-
perienced throughout Louisiana Monday
morning. Crops in many places were
ruined and thousands of dollars of damage
was wrought.
The continued rainfall, which has been
general throughout the State, is putting the
farmers far behind with their crops, and
the situation is very discouraging. Added
to this the boil weevil is reported in many
parishes. Some of the farmers in Lincoln
and Caldwell Parishes have plowed up
their young cotton and planted corn.

Nacogdoches, Texas, was visited by a
windstorm about O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing, doing considerable damagein the city
and entailing great loss to the crops.
Trees were uprooted, fences, awnings,
signs and outhouses were blown down
and the streets were rivulets. The wind
continued about thirty minutes, and about
two inches of rain fell in an hours time.
Eleven persons were killed and many
MORALLY wounded and over a score seri-
ously injured by tornado which swept
over Northwestern North Dakota late Sat-
urday afternoon. The storm was especially
severe at Langdon, where the residence
section of the city was practically wiped
out, four people killed and twenty injured
The farm house of George Graves, near
Ypsilanti, N. D., was blown into the James
River, and Mrs. Graves and her two
younger daughters were instantly killed.
