For Mourning Wear.

1t is hard for the girl who likes quiet
mourning TO get jewelry that suits her
taste. Most of it is too ornate or is
bestudded with pearls or shows too
much of the gold Innings.
A dog collar that is being worn by
girl in the deepest Grape is in particu-
larly good style. 1t is made of onyx
set in gold. but in such way that
none of the shining metal shows.
The form of the collar is groups of
five oval sections set horizontally one
above the other between square up
right sections deep enough to hold the
cross pins in place. The horizontal
parts are pointed at each end and about
the size of an ordinary cuff pin
This collar fits closely about Tbs
throat and can be worn on the outside
of the gown or on the bare neck. IN
having such an ornament made to or
der. as sometimes is necessary, the
number of the cross pins eau be varied
to suit the length of the neck.

Weman and the Ballot.

A woman with a ballot in her hand
Is reminiscent of a rosebud wrestling
with thrashing machine.
If ballots came in bandboxes wom
en- would be more at home handling
them.
The futter of petticoat loses Its
fascination in politics.
A woman at the polls and baby in
the cradle don't seem to harmonize
somehow.
When the women vote the hens will
crow, and everybody knows what ev-
erybody says about growing hens.
Women may have children and have
the ballot. but their nature doesn't de-
mand the ballot.
What is home without ballot box :?
The eternal feminine is fine cam
paign material.
Women may become great states
men, but they viii never be great poll
ticians.
How would a woman's reputation
look In society after it had passed
through about one mud singing cam
paign? And what would the other
women say.--Judge,
