Sorel, the popular French actress,
chose a gray-green for a street Co.'S

cepted shade for the evening gown,
and rough green straw has appeared
among the seasons millinery.
The scarf cape is made of a single
piece of satin yard and a quarter
wide and over twice as long. This is
edged with several rows of marabout.
When draped gracefully over the
shoulders it is most fascinating.
The popularity of the auto bonnets
has been so great the past season
that their sisters, the real old-fash-
toned poke bonnets, are being shown.
They are bedecked with ribbons as
we'll as with flowers, and all in all
are quite bewitching.
The return of the belt to the nor
NAL waistline has given renewed
impetus to the blouse. 1t is again in
evidence and distinctive in style.
Many of these charming separate
blouses are in colored chiffon, elabor-
ateIy trimmed with gold and silver
embroideries or with lace studded
with imitation stones to match the
tone Of the acco mpanying skirt.

HARD ON CHILDREN
When Teacher Has Coffee Habit.

BEST Is best, and best will ever
live" When a person feels this way
about Postum they are glad to give
testimony for the benefit OF others.
A school teacher down In Miss.
says: II had been a coffee drinker
since my childhood, and the last few
years 1t had injured me seriously.
"One cup of coffee taken at break
fast would cause me to become SO
nervous that I could scarcely go
through with the days duties, and
this nervousness was often accom-
panied by deep depression of spirits
and heart palpitation.
II am teacher by profession, and
when under the influence of coffee
had to struggle against crossness
when In the school room
when talking this over with my
physician, he suggested that l try
Postum, so purchased a package and
made 1t carefully according to direc-
lions; found 1t excellent of favour,
and nourishing.
I'm a short time I noticed very
gratifying effects. My nervousness
disappeared, was not irritated by
my pupils, life seemed full Of sun
shine, and my heart troubled me no
longer.
II attribute my change in health
and spirits to Postum alone"

replacing the birch bark horn in thu
canoe, he squats down. He will no

OLD FASHION REVIVED

The maid of olden times used to &c
singing, "Bayberry candles burnt tc
the socket bring luck to the house and
gold to the pocket" as she searched
Held and hedgerow for the fragrant
berry of the bay, with which to mold
with her own hands two Bayberry
dips, one for herself and one for hel
lover over the sea. Then on an ap-
pointed night, when the dips were
lighted, the incense from the candles
was supposed to drift together. a
symbol of the unity of their love, thus
typifying the blending of their des-
TIMES.
Another old rhyme from the old
Country Almanack" runs:
To learn your luck for the year, they
say,
Burn a Bayberry dip on New Year
day,
And if the fame burn bright and the
light shines clear,
Good luck will be yours throughout
the year.
AS early as 1884 Swedish natural
list, travelling in America, wrote the
following account of Bayberry can
dies: There is plant here from the
berries of which they make a kind
of wax or tallow, and for that reason
the Swedes call it the tallow shrub
The English call the same tree the
Candleberry tree or Bayberry bush;
it grows abundantly in a wet soil and
seems to thrive well in the neighbor-
hood of the sea.
1.-THE berries look as if flour had
been strewn on them. They are
gathered late in the autumn, being
ripe about that time, and are thrown
into kettle of boiling water; by this
means their fat melts out, floats on
top of the water, and may be skim
med off into a vessel. The tallow,
when CONCEALED, looks like common
wax, but of dirty green color.
Candles of this do not easily bend
nor melt in summer, and burn better
and slower, nor do they cause any
smoke, but yield an agreeable smell
when extinguished, insomuch that
nice people often put them out on
purpose to have the incense of the
expiring snuff"
These berries were considered of
such value to the colonial commune
ties that laws were made limiting
their gathering, and at one time a
fine was levied upon any one caught
gathering them before September 49,
The hint of antiquity that fingers
in the smoke of the Bayberry candle
has revived the fashion for them, and
once more the seacoast villages of
New England are manufacturing the
fragrant tapers. -Indianapolis News.

| ETIQUETTE OF THE TELEPHONE.
Telephones are now in such COM
mon usage, in private life as well as
in business, that it would seem as If
everybody ought to know how to han
die one and how not to abuse so
great a convenience
But many do not seem to.
Women in particular probably be-
cause their voices are, as a rule, thin
ner and higher pitched than the av-
GRACE mans, commonly speak in tones
that reverberate and set up con-
fusing sound.
1t is a common fault, too, to shout
through the phone as if the transit
ton of the message depended on the
noise made
In using the telephone remember
that your voice does not actually
have to carry to the other end of the
wire. 1t is simply reproduced there.
Consequently, you needn't scream.
Just speak in low, distinct voice,
and low and distinct voice will be

Here are some rules of telephone
etiquette it might be we'll to master:
Never telephone to private house
too early in the morning or too late
at night. The hours are governed by
the customs of the household
Never telephone during meal hours.
Never use the phone of a person
of slender means without at least Of
fering to pay for it's use.
Employees should never use the
wire in business Office for long and
protracted conversations with per-
sonal friends.
Don't forget that even if you are
no. seen across the telephone wire
you are probably being overheard by
third party, and possibly by others.
Don't shout out your private affairs
over a public telephone.
Don't, when some one is speaking
at the telephone within your hearing,
stop your conversation. Go on talk
ing or get out of hearing distance.
Don't talk for effect. Your con-
versation may be amusing to the
friends beside you, but will prove puz-

Books-Small Earnings Of Some First
Successes-Poe and Roosevelt

astonishing examples of profit when
reviewed as price per word is that of
Booth Tarkington's Monsieur Beau
caire," which, totalling only about
900 words, sold 100000 copies in
the original edition and $4,000 in a
subsequent cheaper edition.
Richard Harding Davis is estimated
to have made when he was an author
solely $25, 900 annually from royal
ties on his books. Robert w. Cham
bers, James Lane Allen, Thomas
Dixon, Alice Hogan Rice and Kate
Douglas Wiggin command a twenty
per cent. royalty, or about thirty cents
for each copy sold.
The sale of George Barr McCutch-
cons novels in four years amounted
in round numbers to 100000 copies.
His first book, "Graustark," reached
a sale Of 100000; the copyright the
author had sold outright for $500.
He made no more such mistakes A
million copies of Florence Morse
kinSsley's Titus" are said to have
been sold, but she received only $1,000
for the story, having written it for a
prize contest, one of the conditions
being that the winning author should
relinquish all claims to royalty.
One comparative glance is of inter-
est. Poe, who died in want, was glad
to receive a SIS bill for one of the best
of his tales. EX-President Roosevelt
received an offer from one publishing
firm of 100000 for a book about his
visit to Europe and another firm bid
$4,000 for book on sports and
hunting.
Concerning the writing of books as
an income producing vocation it is in
teresting to learn from Clement
Shorter the English conditions gov
erning the publication of novels.
George Gissing admits that he re-
ceived only $50 for the serial and
book rights of one of Ms finest nov
els. Since then things have greatly
improved, but Mr. Shorter says that
he has seen many agreements and
that publishers constantly refuse to
pay anything at all until there is a
sale of 500 copies of a book. Some of
the most reputable publishers in Eng
land are in the habit of doing this.
One agreement that passed
through my hands the other day gave
the author nothing for his first novel
up to 500 copies. After that ten per
cent. was to be paid and the author
was tied up for three novels. One
publisher frequently pays $50 for all
rights in novel. But even with these
hard dealings the position is very
much better than it was fifteen or
twenty years ago. l insist" concludes
Mr.. Shorter, that no work of fiction
is worth producing when the author
cannot get publisher to undertake
the cost of production. So keen is the
competition for good work among an
ever increasing number of publishers
that there is not the slightest danger
of volume of prose fiction, volume
of essays or memoir going begging
for long if it has any merit whatever"

GREEN SERVANTS.

Who's at fault?
women say servants are terrors.
servants say mistresses are intol-
cradle.
Both are right to a humiliating de-
gree.
TOO many women actually lie in
engaging a servant
Some women hire green emigrants
because they can get them cheap,
then declare them worthless because
they can't do fancy cooking.
The contemplate woman pretends
she is deceived, and that she is the
victim of designing servants, when in
reality she cannot or will not pay for
the sort Of service she requires.
AS matter of fact, green girls are
usually only too anxious to do their
best and be utterly satisfactory, that
they may be worth more, if for no
more higher Observation-Disclosures
