cause it is the best choice in colors, but it is much improved by the touch of white near the face in yoke or collar Yokes of black net are worn by the way of variety.
 Now that the one-piece dress is so much in vogue. a black serge, if well tailored and fitted. will give the busi- ness girl greater satisfaction After this, a dark, rich blue is the best choice. The plainest of shapely coats to match, worn with white collar and jabot at the neck. and a smart hat, make the costume all that any one could ask.
 It is in the matter of hats that the business girl is most liable to fail in her attempts to get both practical and pretty things. This is probably because she is laboring under some delusions as to what Is practical. that is what is durable and becoming
 Very large hats lose their shape with much wear, are difficult to man age on windy days. get in the way in elevators and cars and become much battered and dilapidated before their days are all numbered. Therefore, 1 beseech you little business girl, buy a small, smart hat. made of good ma terial and in a simple design Beav- CTS and beaver cloth, felts Gin good ouality) velvet and (spite of its fragile appearance) good chiffon will stand constant wear. Don't consider os- trich feathers or flowers, but pin your faith to wings, quills or fancy feathers, bows and rosettes of ribbon or silk. waterproof malines or chiffon, in selecting trimmings Shapes are good this fall. IF fact, millinery is the best we have had for many year.
 I advocate the things that make for a dainty, neat, well-set-up appear ance, in business or anywhere else The clean yoke and collar, the well fitting and well fastened dress, the carefully arranged hair, smooth and shining in puff or curl, and the smart and trig street hat make up an en- semble that have frills and furbelows badly beaten. when it comes to real permanent charm. If she only knew it, the clothes appropriately for the business girl are ''the best ever"

 Whatever yoru lot in life. keep joy with you. It is a great healer Sor- row, worry, jealousy. envy. bad tenn per, create friction and grind away the delicate human machinery so that the brain loses it's cunning
 Half the misery in the world would be avoided if the people would make a business of having plenty of fun at home, instead of running everywhere else in search of 1t.
 Now for Rest and Fun" No Busi- ness Troubles Allowed Here" These are good home-building notices.
 When you have had a perplexing day, when things have gone wrong with you and you go home at night exhausted, discouraged. blue, instead of making your home miserable by going over your troubles and trials, just bury them; instead of dragging them home and making yourself and family unhappy with them and spoil ing the whole evening. just lock every thing that is disagreeable in your of fee.
 Just resolve that your home shall be a place for bright pictures and pleasant memories. kindly feelings toward everybody. and, as MT. Roose- velt says, "a corking good time" gen. orally.

Never Notices Birthdays.

'T never have any birthdays" says Gen. Ferdinand c. Latrobe, smiling. the other night, when asked how he had spent the day, the seventy-sev- enth anniversary of his birth.
 ''I got up at seven o'clock" he said, "and went to Mccall Ferry, where inspected the new electric plant, and came back to the city at three o'clock. I went to the gas company's office and later to the parks for drive. never celebrate the occasion except with hard work.
 T never knew when my fathers birthday came until after he had been dead some time and looked it up in the family Bible. It was the same way with my mother No, the La trobes grow old, but they do not make merry over the milestones in the jour- ney."-Baltimore Sun.

TTIME was when the business wom-
 an took no thought as to where
 wfth-all she should be clothed attractively. The tailored shirt waist, the sti1f linen collar and the well fit ting tailored skirt TOT the office, with a jacket or coat, and the plainest of. hats for the street, made the limits of her choice very circumscribed. Such an outfit. of good material, good tailoring and immaculate as to con dition, is hard to improve upon. But too steady diet of the best of things gets tiresome, especially to women. and along came the business girl, in whom the eternal feminine longing for pretty clothes was not to be repressed
 The business girl. tastefuIly dress ed, is still tailor-made. but with varia- tions. Among her first discoveries was that of the extravaganza of the immaculate shirt waist It had to be fresh as a rose, or it's charm was gone. This meant change every oth- CT day, with longing for a daily clean waist which went intensified in the majority of cases. For laundry bills have to be reckoned with. The business girl took up the dainy lin gerie waist, with a little embroidery and a little fine lace for decoration. With three-quarter length sleeves and removable collars. she achieved econ omy in the matter of laundry bills and prettier dressing at the same time. The daily fresh collar is joy and an inspiration.
 The black silk waists of messaline or other soft satin-finished silks, is a boon to the business girl. They are prettiest made with yoke and collar of white net. lace or batiste. These yokes are easily washed and dried over night, or set of three will pro vide for the week. Many of the waists have high collars. with which turnovers are worn. They are not quite as pretty as those with yokes. Black skirts we'll fitted and tailored, are worn with these waists The effect is disnifiod and charming. Other dark colors. such as navy and dark brown. are made up in the same way. but black never grows tiresome. The large retail establishments require their salespeople to wear. black. be-

and they had to raise them again. But they would ignore each other He did his cooking on an oil stove. She eggs fioated across to her, and the odor of her fish reached his nostrils. They even stared boldly at each oth- CT, but not a nod or a word.
 When MT. Rasser sat down to his sewing machine he made an extra racket for the benefit of his neighbor. When she sat down to hers she sang an accompaniment at the top of her voice for his delectation- Sometimes he pounded with a hammer when there was no occasion for it. Some times she threw bottle into the alley that the crash of glass might startle him and make him thrust his head out of the window There was antagon- ism pure and simple. but why?
 And if it was so between the two persons, how about the whiffet and the mutt? They were worse. All day long, with only short intervals for breathing spells, they stood with their paws on the window sills and con- fronted each other and parked and growled and indulged in blood-curd- ling threats. Their noise disturbed their owners as much as any one else, but they were not reprimanded. They were even encouragd.
 After a month or so Mir Rasser de termined on a bold stroke to van quish his enemy. He had bought tripe and codfish cakes and left them exposed at the kitchen window to make Miss Harner jealous, but she had gone him one better by getting smoked tongue and fresh clams
 He would dine at restaurant. He would dress in his Sunday clothes as he dined. He would walk with his cane, and his mutt would follow at his heels. All the residents of the alley would see him go and come. and the seamstress would be humiliated to the dust.
 As the tailor planned, so things came about He no longer fried and stewed Miss Harner sniffed in vain for odors. She saw him come and go at certain hours, but 1t was a whole week before she knew the horrible truth. She had gone right along fry. ing sausage and holding her nose high in air. The news astounded and the truth hurt.
 What? He, a common tailor-a man only five feet high-a man with a mutt of a dog eating at a restau. rant! Never! She would not and did not believe it until she had slyIy folIowed him. to his lair
 Miss Harner swore that her revenge should be perfectly dreadful. She would go'to the same restaurant She would get table near that of hel enemy. She would listen to what he ordered, and they she would outdc him. Her meal should be twice as ex pensive as his, and she would tip the waiter besides. And her whiffet should follow her and sit under her table

Irony Lost case for Lawyer.

In his early days at the bar the late Lord Bowen prosecuted prisoner who had been caught in house at night crawling downstairs with his boots of and carrying portable property. The evidence was so overwhelming that Bowen ventured to indulge in little irony and remarked on the thoughtful ness of the prisoner fin removing his shoes, thus disturbing nobody, and in selecting only solid silver articles from the plate basket, so that the family had enough forks and spoons left for break fast. The jury was so impressed by these extenuating circumstances that 1t acquitted the prisoner Bowen never employed irony again when addressing jury.

JONES MAKES BAD BLUNDER
Imagines His Wife Is Sitting Up Walt ing for Him When He Arrives
 Home at Late Hour.

MT. Jones came home at an unseem- ly hour the other night, and was sur prised to see Mrs. Jones sitting up for him below stairs, with no other light than that of the gas-lamp. which faced the door, to keep her company.
 M-M-Marie," he said huskily, 'y-you shouldn't sit up 8 late when I'm out on business"
 As Mrs. Jones did not answer him. he continued in an alarmed voice:
 "Shorry. m'dear, but it's last time tell you I'm sorry-won't spheak to me?"
 At this moment Mrs. Jones called from above stairs:
 MT. Jones, who are you talking to at this hour of the night?"

 Miss Fanny Harner was thirty-fve years old. She was single. She was a seamstress. Her friends said of her that she hated men, and that her dis position was soured. She had rooms that faced on Patton alley. No cat. no parrot, no canary! She had dog instead The animal was referred to as a whiffet, and it was said that his disposition had also been soured.
 MT. Jacob Rasser was thirty-seven years old. He was a tailor. and it was said of him that he hated women and his disposition was soured- He was single He was a little man with a strut and much pomposity, and he hattered himself that he was single because he had never yet found woman good enough for him. He had lived for years over paint store, but the smell of turpentine had at last driven him to seek other quarters He came and rented rooms on Patton alley. They were exactly opposite the rooms of Miss Harner and only twenty feet distant. He also had dog, and he was thinking of bringing libel suits against sundry and divers persons who had referred to the canine as a mutt.
 Miss Harner resented the arrival of MT. Rasser and his mutt. MT Ras- ser resented the fact that Miss liar ner and her whiffet were already in stalled
 The first thing both of them did was to draw down the window shades.

Look After the Boys.

From little town in this state, says an exchange, a boy was sentenced to the penitentary. His mother clung to him sobbing, when he was taken from the court room back to jail after the sentence had been pronounced and he shook her off roughly, You are to blame for what 1 am, he said, and when she reminded him that she had always loved and petted him, he an- swered:
 That's what l blame you for. If you had made me obey you, had taught me that my parents knew what was best for me instead of allowing me to go my own way and laugh at my boy ish mischief, I would not be where I am now.
 This was terrible arraignment for a child to make of it's parents But it was just one. If that mother had reared that boy with less fear of hurt ing his feelings or spelling his pleas ure, he might have been saved to good citizenship. But his parents let him drift. He was spoiled and petted darling Gradually made bad associ- ates, and bad associates are like cookie burs, you cant get rid of them And from merely ass0ciating with evil com panions, the boy was drifted into evil ways and the path led him to the pen l itentiary.
 Mothers and fathers are under a moral obligation to society, to the state and to the providence that trusts them with the rearing of children tC rear those children rightly. All tht love your heart holds for your boy won't save him unless you teach him right from wrong until he rta;hes the age of responsibility.
 There are boys in every city, boys o good families, who need very sorel, parental watchfulineSs.
 Do you know where your boy is after a reasonable hour at night?
 He ought to be at home.
 II he IS away after bedtime and yOl don't know where he syou may safel, take it for granted that he is where Il, ought not to be. There's nothing do ing on the streets after bedtime anC no boy has any business wandering uI and down town after that hour.
 The boys are the salvation of th, country, the brains and brawn of to morrow, the statesman of latter day the makers of all that make nation
 So mothers and fathers don't yol think that you owe it 10 your boy ant 10 society and yourself to know wher, .f' is at night and who his associates aae2
 ilis place is at home at night or els, With associates whom YOU know vol can trust,
 And be nightly careful how man, you trust
