A Happy Loss.


Lose u crouch: you'll never miss 1t.
Though at first it may seem queer
To be just a trif1e decent
To the people who are near.
But with very little practice.
Saving wood from day to day.
You can max yourself attractive
With a grin nailed on to stay.
There is little satisfaction.
Nor is life the more complete,
If you bite the heads from people
Whom in daily rounds you meet,
And the mussup isn't pleasant
When that little trick you try.
They can never sue for damage
If you smile and pass them by.
You may think it lends distinction
If you jog along the way
With a crouch on exhibition
Every momen of the day.
But when friends who see you coming
Make Excuse to turn away
You will find the load is hardly
Worth the freight you have to pay.
Be the little ray of sunshine
To the people that you meet
Let them feel when you are coming
That it brightens up the street.
It's the only way to travel:
Every smile will De a boost.
And you'll find 1t worth the trouble
When the chicks come home to roost.

TO SUIT INDIVIDUAL TASTE
Childish Modes This Season May Be
Expensive or Simple as One
May Prefer.

Never was there a time when you
could dress a child prettily and smart
ly with less expenditure and labor, and
yet never was there time when you
could spend more upon childs
clothes without offending the laws OF
good taste. Elaboration on childrens
frocks takes dainty, childish forms
Fussiness and pretentiousness are
avoided
Exquisitely fine materials Of sort
suitable to the age of the child, fine
and delicate hand embroideries or bold
simple embroidery effects of quaint
kind, narrow real laces, tiny hand
tucks, these are the elements entering
into the expensive little frocks nova
days, and the most beautifully dressed
children at a chldren's party give alb
solutely no impression of being over
dressed; they are only eXquisitely
dainty
ghe fine real Irish lace insertions
are much used upon the handsome lit.
tie frocks. with real cluny for second
choice among the heavy laees and
with Valenciennes and narrow irish
are often combined, and on some
smart little models tiny Irish motifs
are used with Valenciennes insertion
and edging.
Even on sheerest of handkerchief
linen. batiste or null the Irish inser'
ton is more or less lavishly used, and
this season there Is great vogue Tor
frocks of linen or French pique
trimmed in baby Irish. One effective
model In white linen was cut on one
niece lines with wide belt and was
trimmed in vertical lines of baby Irish
insertion and little fine soutache en-
broidery.
Much. however, depends upon the
type of child that is to wear the trocK.
and whether a mother has much or III
tie to spend, she should first consider
the possibilities of her daughter. the
good points that can be emphasized
the flaws that must be disguised OF
minimized. She must chose the De
coming colors, debate seriously the De
comingness of round or square neck
and have strength of mind to declare
in favor of guimpe and tiny standing

wendell their way to the top of the
mountain four miles southeast OF
here to participate in the opening Of
the state tuberculosis safatorium.
The surrounding country sent its
population to the place, while each
train arriving during the day brought
its quota of doctors and others inter
ested in the anti.tuberculosis crusade
1t had been expected that several
hundred doctors would attend the
opening, but the number of visiting
physicians hardly numbered 20.
Those present, however, made up in
enthusiasm for the absence of the
others.
A number of addresses were deliv-
cred by prominent men, including
Governor Donaghey, and a bright fu-
ture for the institution was predicted
by each speaker.
Located upon the top of hill, hay
ing an altitude of 955 feet, in the
center of a thousand-acre tract ana
overlooking the surrounding country,
with a steady cool breeze constantly
playing, the sanatorium presents an
Ideal place for the waging of war
against tuberculosis. The buildings
are sanitary and we'll lighted, while
screen wire walls afford the open-air
treatment under the most modern APP
proved methods. Wonders have really
been worked in the building of this
institution, the states appropriation
being less than 100000. The differ
ent speakers, who have been more or
less familiar with public affairs OF

it the most economical and at the
same time the best-built and equip
