English Spelling.

The reviewer had noticed 1t, ard
doubtless many readers have also no.
ticed it, the increasing frequency Of
the appearance of the distinctively
English spelling in recent publica-
lions. Not only have the recommen-
dations of the simplified spoilers been
contemporary disregarded, but the
publishers and writer's, probably
both, have actually disregarded Web
ster's spelling that has SO long rulef
the language in this country, and
adopted the double consonant in de.
rivative words and the in such
words as honour, favour, glamour.
colour, etc. In several books we have
also seen such distinctive English
spelling as gaol, jewellry, etc. In fact
the publishers seem to be striving for
uniform spelling in both England
and America.-Newark Call.

A Motor Boat Necessity.
BY LAWRENCE LA RUE.

A whistle or loud noise maker"
of some kind is one of the most i'm
portant attachments of motor boat,
for not only does it serve as signal
to warn other boats on which side
you intend to pass them, but on
cruises it is useful in announcing the
approach of your craft to locks, draw
bridges, and the like, and will thus
save much time in waiting for the
tender to arrive at the scene of oper7
atoms. Owing to the noise made by
the motor in practically every power
craft, a loud whistle or siren should
be used for signaling in order that it
may be heard over the much nearer
sound of the engine in the other boat.
A contrary wind will also greatly
reduce the carrying power of the
whistle, and the waves and splash of
water against the hull will form a
disconcerting sound which must be
overcome if the signal is to be heard
by the occupants of another boat
even short distance away. In buy
ing a whsle, then, remember that it
will sound much louder in closed
room than in the open air when many
other nearer sounds are doing their
best to drown out its once seemir ely
husky toot.-Outing.

Make Yourself Beautiful.

Expression is the greatest of all
beautifiers, as we'll as uglifiers.
A girl may have quantities of
golden hair, pink cheeks, regular
features, but if she has a silly, self
satisfied expression no one will con-
slider her beautiful.
Or girl may have very few claims
to regular beauty, but be glorified
by a beautiful expression of face, and
everyone will think her lovely.
1t is sweetness, goodness and in
telligence that make the highest tyre
of beauty. Those qualities last much
longer than coloring; the older their
possessor grows the more lovely sac
will become.
There are many ways in which you
can improve yourself. if you wish to
become better looking.
Take your figure, for example: If
you are fiat-cheste1 and round-shoul-
dered, take simple exercises to de-
velop the one and straighten the other
defect.
Hold your head up; don't roke
it forward II your hair is lanky and
oily, wash it frequently and dress it
becomi1gly.- American.

For Heavy Linen Waist.

Lace insertion as part of the en-
broidery design is not so frequent as
in past seasons, but there is a rich
pattern just out requiring a shoulder
strap and three long upright strips
of wide linen lace back and front
upon the bodice sections.
At the end Of each of these, which
IS the bust line, large flower is en-
broidered in coarse cotton floss, and
the blossom is repeated on the upper
part of the sleeve where the shoulder
strap ends.
The flower is so designed that its
petals run upward and surround the
lace insertion at the point where ii
joins the embroidered flower.
The centre strip of lace on the
blouse extends further down than the
two side ones, thus giving a pointed
becoming shape to the trimming

a sine qua non condition attached to
the invitation. You had to go with a
"made-up head" or you would not be
admitted. Preferably you were re-
quested to make up as a country
cousin at village wedding. Some
guests arrived as ancient peasants,
others as village idiots. There were
several bluff 'Squires and rural elder

of retired officers and exuberant I'M
cles from the South, besides fierce
military gentlemen from the hottest

ChiIdren Mostly Not Wanted,

"Ten years hence to he the father
of ten or twelve children will be az

firmed drunkard is at present" said

kane. Wash, in the convention Of

frage Association at Washington. d.

she continued, urges large families,

Mountain laurel is frequently used by
them, and for ten cents one should
secure two or, three sprays.
The leaves may lie stripped off and
placed among the interstices of the

several days.
Asparagus vine is never expensive,
and fancy bowl of this in the centre
of the table is ornamental. The addi-

Anything that is draped is fashion
able.
Sashes are with us again in glorious
array.
Tulle and Irish lace are frequently
| combined.
Fewer turbans are seen as the sea-
son advances.
Skirts for evening dresses are
somewhat fuller.
Waists of black large meshed cable
net made over white dotted net have
shallow yokes of Irish crochet.
Long pearl and diamond chains are
in high favor, and old cameo brooches
linked together are made into collar
cites.
The newest belts for shirtwaists
are wider than have been worn, and
leather girdles of all colors are much
in favor.
Velvet ribbon in the leading colors
is combined with flowers for the trim

belts.
There is revival of the use of
velvet bags, and mary Of plain black,
beautifully mounted, are seen in the
shops.
Gold colored straw trimmed with
black is combination of many of
the most attractive modes. Some of
the best hat decorations are gold and
silver.
OF the many wells that have ap-
Feared this season, the spl6er wetlike
lace design that looks so well in coll
ors to match the hat has proved the
! favorite.
Lingerie gowns, gliltless of col-
lar, are frequently worl with a mar
row black velvet band at the throat,
| on which may be a dianoId or other
jeweled ornament.
AS has been noted before, the
Greek coiffure is the most fashion
able. The braid around the head and
! the turban swirl are absolutely out
of style over the sea.
There is late fancy among some
Partisan costumers for making the
! belts of the more elaborate gowns Of
color in contrast to the whole color
scheme OF the garment.
Belts of Powered ribbon had
bands of black ribbon velvet over it,
studded with steel beads. AT back
and front was narrow buckle CT the
velvet studded with the steel.
A detachable frill ana detachable
turnover collar is an addition to a
smart white linen shirtwaist of
medium weight, which has the front
covered with quarter-inch tucks.
Two shades of dull blue cloth with
pipings of velvet, and small yoke and
collar of deep coffee color lace, are
combined in handsome calling cos
tune. The hat is small toque with
blue plume.
Lace wells dyed to match the color
of the hats with which they are worn
are the latest. They are not pinned
in, by the way, but hang down
straight from the hrim-probably

To Care For Pianos.

In many households there is not a
piece of furniture that is more sorely
neglected than the piano, and any
,one who has studied the construction
iof the piano knows that its mechan-
ism is more delicate, intricate and
sensitive than any other musical in
'strument. 1t is no wonder that it re-
quires a great deal of care when this
is taken into consideration, and suf-
fers severely from neglect Some
people are of the opinion that they
are treating their piano we'll when
they have 1t tuned once or twice each
year, but it should he tuned no less
than four times annually to prevent
loss of pitch, and should be kept at
concert pitch all the time. To raise
or lower 1t half tone means to spoil
1t Immediately.
1t is almost as important to place
the piano well as to have it tuned. 1t
should not be put too near the wall,
as this absorhs the tone, and 1t should
be placed near the inner wall rather
than the outer to prevent 1ampness
or cold from affecting it. Dampness
is staneh emery of pianos; it rusts
the wires, rots the felt. splits the
hammers and makes the keys stick.
A changing temperature is almost as
dangerous, and too great heat, such
as caused by the proximity of radia-
tor or fireplace, has also its bad eff
fects. Heavy carpets nufie the
sound, and this is one of the reasons
why music rooms should always have
hardwood floors, and why pianos
should always be placed on little
glass insulators when ossible.
A piano should be kept free from
bric-a-brac, pictures and lamps. be-
cause they all tend to make the tone
metallic. So often when a note is
tinny or tremulous it is because it is
In sympathetic vibration with scme
object on or near the instrument.
When the pedals squeak they should
be creased, and not oiled, or little
talcum powder may be pulled into the
hinges. Broken hammers, If not had

glue and boand with cord. Broken
worries can be mended with little
household cement. Yellow ivories

Embroidered Russian Blouse.

The Russian blouse suit opens
many possibilities for the needle
worker to make her own embroidery.
"A straight embroidered band along
the left-front side of the jacket is
suggested. 1t may be braided or
plainly embroidered. A circular
piece, with scant ruffie at the edge.
can be used for a collar. Cuffs may
be trimmed or left plain. A small de-

VelvetS in Vogue.

Paris costumers show many ready
to-wear costumes constructed of
chiffons, marquisettes and chiffon
cloths built over satin foundations.
Another Paris fashion idea favors the
use of velvets for next fall and win
ter. Velvets were much in evidence
in Paris and other fashion centres last
season. Velveteens will doubtless
participate in the increased demand
and as raw cotton is now about sixty
per cent. higher than it was at this
time last year, prices of velveteens
are steadily advancing.

ONE FRIEND.

Sorrow. I have learned to love you.
You. at least, are true.
r hove had a chance to prove you
have lived with you.
Lvben bv other friends forsaken,
when the world grew drear,
Won we're leal and were mistaken,
Won were ever near.
Che who blessed me in life's morning
Lovely. meek and mild;
All my little world adjoining,
For me when a child;
Of her love has time bereft me
Mold is on her face,
Sorrow. you alone are left me,
You must take her place.
She that other being, nearer
Still than all the rest,
Light of dawning manhood, dearer
Than words have expressed;
Youth's first virgin love and only,
She has vanished, too,
Far away. My heart is lonely;
Let it lean on you.
When life's path was SUMMER, brighter,
Friends were round me then:
Moths and flies fit where tits lighter;
So sometimes, do men.
When adversely o'ertook me,
Friends seemed to forget;
But you never once forsook me,
You were faithful yet.
Mother, loved one, friends have vanished
Clouds hang darkly DER,
All LIES happiness seems banished,
From me evermore;
Sorrow. l am sad and lonely;
Stay you by my side;
Let me keep you as my only
Teacher, friend and guide.

Slightly open neck makes a feature of
the season. The blouse is adapted to
both the odd waist and the entire
gown and to almost all the simpler
'seasonable materials, linen, madras,
'pongee, cotton poplin and also the
thinner lawns and batistes, for waists
of this kind are made from all.
White linen makes this one, however,
and is trimmed with bands of rose
color, while the tie is made to match.
If three-quarter sleeves are not liked
long ones in regulation shirtwaist
style can be substituted
The waist consists of fronts and
back. The collar is Joined to the
neck edge and the closing is made at
the centre front, where there is a
wide box pleat. The elbow sleeves
are gathered into bands and finished
with rolled over cuffs, but the long
ones are finished with over-laps and
straight cuffs in shirtwaist style.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is four and one
half yards twenty-one or twenty-four,
three yards thirty-two or two and
one-half yards forty-four inches wide,
with three-eighth yard twenty-four
inches wide for the bands.

Don-ts in House Decoration.

Women when on a hunt for wall
paper often get confused because theyl
see such variety, and finally become.
so bewildered at the array that al
wrong selection is made. A SMALL
but important hint for the would-be
buyer is this: First ask for a dark
green paper, and look at it whether
YOU want it or not, simply to focus
the eyes. In few seconds the sighT
will become rested and the varieties
that are produced will look better.
Every now and then turn to the green
paper to relieve the strain on the
eyes.-New York Sun.
