Comes From Paris and Is to Battle
Theater Men Too.
Can you beat a woman? No sooner
do we have agitation over stiletto-like
hatpins in Chicago street cars than
along comes woman with hat
which doesn't need pin at all. And
not only that, but to get around those
inconsiderate theater managers who
insist that the women remove their
millinery creations, no matter how
pretty or new or costly, this same wo-
man has a hat which wouldn't at
tract the attention of the most zeal
Gus head usher. It's the same hat,
too.
This young woman is Miss Mary
Glenn Of Evanston, Ill. The hat she
brought along with several others
from Paris. Miss Glenn recently re-
turned home after six months tour
of Europe, not the least important
stop Of which was the millinery mart
of the French capital.
"No hatpins, and they just can't
require me to remove it in the the
ater," said Miss Glenn as she donned
her treasure She placed it upon her
head without the aid of mirror and
demonstrated the absurdity of any
theater manager requiring the removal
of such a minute thing.
Eyes, / purchased it in Paris. 1t
is called a theater hat, and, as you
see, 1t is made of gold cord with an
aigrat and fits closely to the head
/. never thought 1t would cause SO
much comment, and never will visit
Europe again If know that my re-
turn will cause so much comment
Before left the steamer in New
York some photographer had taken
my picture, for, although the hat is to
be worn at the play, just couldn't
wait and had to wear it while we
landed
Miss Glenn related how another wo-
man objected to her wearing it in a
New York theater.
''She objected said the owner, "but
was not required to remove it."

Gambling in futures has led thousands

innocent tiliers Of the soil have been

As compromise, it is proposed to re
lieve the bill from its operation in grain
and food products. While the law, il

Myra had been ill for some time, but
she was better now. So one Sunday
afternoon a little friend named Jennie
gentleman had been speaking to the
class at Sunday school on an interest
ing subject: He had said: THE
sweetest thing on earth is the pleasure
of pleasing"
Myra listened to Jennie very aeten-
lively, and when she had finished said:
II do not agree with him. / think the
sweetest thing on earth is the pleasure
of being pleased, instead of pleasing"
Jennie had been taught by her mother
that everyone should constantly en-
deavor to make others happy, SO she
told Myra of several very sweet little
conversations that her mother had
held with her on that subject After
Jennie had gone the little girl dozed
quietly in her soft white bed.
The next morning as soon as she was
awake she asked for her box of paints
and a large piece of cardboard, and
after her mother had carefully lifted
her into an easy chair she first printed
the motto in large type, and then
painted each letter in a very pretty
shade of red, edged with black.
The morning passed quickly, and
when Myra's father came home anu
saw the beautiful motto hanging in her
room and read, 1.-The sweetest thing on
earth is the pleasure of pleasing" he
smiled and said: II will ask you to
make several of those cards. They are
very pretty, and l would love to send
them to some of my friends"
AIyra did not answer him, and when
he looked at her he saw a scowl upon
her face, so he did not say anything
more, but when her mother brought
dainty luncheon up to her she found a
tiny note on her tray which she opened
and read: II hope my little girl will
follow the words of the beautiful
motto"
Myra felt at first that she did not
wish to make any more notices. She

WHY FOAM is WHITE

The question as to why all foam is
white is not an easy one to understand,
but the fact is that foam is always
white whatever may be the color of the
liquid itself. The froth produced on
the bottle of the blacklist ink is white,
and would be perfectly so were it not
tinged TO a certain extent by particles
of the liquid which the bubbles hold i'll
mechanical suspension.
AS to the cause of this Wilderness, it
is sufficient to say that it is due to the
large number of rejecting surfaces
formed by the foam; for it is these sur
faces which, by rejecting the light,
produce upon our eyes the impression
of white.
If we remember that all bodies owe
their eolors to the rays of light which
they cannot absorb, and all bodies which
reflect all the light they receive, with
out absorbing any, appear perfectly
white, we shall be prepared to under
stand how the multitude of rejecting
surfaces formed by the foam, and
which do not absorb any light, must
necessarily give the froth a white APP
pearance.
1t is for the same reason that any
very fine powder appears white; even
the blacklist marble, when ground to
dust, losing every trace of its original
color.-Selected.

WOMEN IN POLITICS
How They Take the Hastings for
Their Husbands in England

A general election in Great Britain,
the opening of a new parliament and
a political crisis always serve to bring
out a fact of supreme interest to the
dealer in Anglo-American "compari-
sons"-I mean the prominence of wom-
en-, the altogether more active and in
ffuential part they play in the public
life of England as compared with that
of America.
One must, of course, in this connec-
ton remember how very largely rural
existence in England still revolVes
round the placid feudal center now
instructive is the attitude of subordlna-
ton on the part of the laborers ana
small farmers toward the gentry of the
neighborhood; how great is the power
of election and dispossession which the
leasehold system PLACES in the hands
of the landlord, and how deeply woven
in the texture of rural life is the notion
that the mistress of the big mousse
should be the Lady Bountiful, II not
the Lady Despot, of her district. All
this at election time gives woman
of zeal and intelligence a rare oppor-
tunity. She knows all within a radius
spent her life among them, organizing
charities, nursing associations, bazaars.
flower shows and social entertain
ments: she has cared for the sick ana
destitute; she is one of the institutions
of the neighborhood, and nine times
out of ten, in addition, is capable,
delightful. warm hearted lady. When,
therefore, she takes the field as a
political canvasser it is with all the
advantages that her wealth and posi-
ton, her social and philanthroplc ac-
tiyities and the inherent INSCRIPTIONS
ness of women in matters of politics
can give her.
From anything of this kind Amerl-
can women are excluded by the UNI
happy separation of politics from So
ciety. senator's wife may be con-
siderable parsonage in Washington, but
she is so only on the condition that she
does not interfere in politics. The
bosses and the machine have between
them killed the very possibility OF
political salon. American women, again.
as a sex are only drawn toward public
affairs when some great moral or hui
manitarian issue is at stake. Vague
battlings with the railways and the
trusts do not interest them, ana the
mercenary atmosphere of most Ameri-
can politics simply reVolts them so IL
is that, as in all republics, women IN
America are forced out of politics.
Even in the ceremonial side, where
their English sisters cut brilliant fig
ure, their part is distinctly subordinate.
They are never really initiated into the
secrets of the game and they exert lit
tie influence over those who play it
and none whatever over those for
whose mystification it is played. And
both men and women prefer to have
it so.-Anglo- in Harper's

ORIGIN OF THE POTATO

The cultivated potato is native OF
the Chilean and Peruvian Andes, but
extends in original type so far north as
Colorado, where a wild form is occa-
sional Wild varieties of the potato
exist in many parts all over the world,
but nowhere was it cultivated before
the discovery of the western continent
save in North and South America. 1t
was taken to Europe, probably from
Peru to Spain, early in the sixteenth
century. 1t seems Sir Francis Drake
lntroo-- ed it into England IN 1856,
though Sir Walter Raleigh is said to
have done this the year before. 1t
was first regarded as curiosity, and
so remained until the latter part of
the eighteenth century, though the
Royal Society of London in 1868 recon-
mended it as a possible safeguard
against famine among the irish
peaSantry.

In the handy travellers tree,
While oranges and cocoanuts
Would be the food for me.
