BRYAN, MORAL CRUSADER.
The position of Mr.. Bryan on the
county option question continues to be

county the unit of action with respect

We cannot say what motives have
actuated him. We do not known the
impulses that have moved him. We
are pretty we'll assured, however, that
he is in dead earnest, now that the die
is cast. He has taken the step not
without counting the cost. He has
held in anticipation certain dire re-
suits. He has said it was certain to
ALLEVIATE very many warm political
supporters during his entire public ca
reer. He has said it might even mean
the burning ofthe room over his head
or the penalty Of his life. Ordinarily
such expressions would give the idea
Of great moral Of personal heroism.
In the espousal of other questions
Mr.. Bryan has been persistent and
courageous. 1t was SO especially with
respect to the silver question. After

THE LEMUR A CHARMING PET
Ella In His Naturalist on the Prowl"
Describes Little Anlmal-Serv-
ants Afraid Of Him.

Pets are Of all sorts. One Of the
most amusing and attractive is de-.
scribed by Ella in his Naturalist on
the Prowl" This little animal was a
lemur, and besides many gentle and
caressing ways, 1t seemed as II It
possessed a certain sense of humor.
Says Eha:
Il used to take its soft hand and
examine its pretty nails. Each hand
had one long. sharp claw. Such
curious arrangement puzzled me, UNI
til one day flea showed me the use
Of that claw. It bit the lemur under
the ribs. l expect the little beast had
reason to be thankful that nature had
spared one toe when It promoted 1t to
the order of four-handed animals.
There never was a more charming
pet. He took life so gayly, and the
antics were so original. When my man
let aim out Of his cage in the morn
ing, he would scamper straight to my
bedroom, look round with large eyes
trimming over with mild curiosity,
and, lightly as rubber ball, spring to
my dressing table, where he would ex-
anime everything. Then he would
bound across the bed and land on my
shoulders, handle my ears gently, won
dering what was In the hole, and
thrusting in his long tongue to find
out.
That was beyond human endurance,
and would roll the little fellow into
a ball, wind his long, fully tail about
him, and fling him into the bed. He
would be unwound in moment, and
would skip away to explore some
more.
His hind legs being longer than his
fore, he walked slowly, with his head
down; but when in hurry he would
stand up and bound along like kan
CARGO, tail in the air, arms extended,
fingers spread, looking like nothing
one ever saw.
The servants regarded him as I'M
canny, and fed at his approach. He
would give chase, and there never
was finer sport than to see the fat
butler in full fight up the long stair
way, with the gleeful little demon
after him, three steps at a bound

DAINTINESS IN SERVING TEA
Small Things That Count For Much
In This Most Pleasant After
noon Function.

AS young women are so often asked
to pour tea for their friends who are
entertaining, they should realize what
a difference 1t makes how the tea ia
served. II this is done In a careless
manner the guests have always the
feeling that something may at any
moment be upset, and the quiet and
repose, which is an essential element
In that most peaceful function, is lost.
1t is well for the person who pours
the tea to rearrange the tray before
the arrival Of the guests, SO that each
piece Is Just where she is accustomed
to have 1t, otherwise she is apt to fun.
BILE and move the. things about. AS
far as possible reaching over the Ia
bic should be avoided and in moving
the china care should be taken never
to touch the rims of the cups.
Observing these little points makes
the difference between an impression
Of daintiness and the reverse, for
which some guests would care more
than for the flavor of the tea.

TIME was when the business WON
an took no thought as to where
with-all she should be clothed
Rttractively. The tailored shirt waist
the stiff linen collar and the we'll fit
ting tailored skirt for the office, with
q jacket or coat, and the plainest OF
mats 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
Tor pretty clothes was not to be
repressed.
The business girl, tastefully dress
ed, is still tailor-made, but with varia-
lions. Among her first discoveries
was that Of the extravaganza of the
immaculate shirt waist. 1t had to be
fresh as rose, or its charm was
gone. This meant change every 9TH
er 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 danny lin
gerie waist, with 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 a 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
prethest 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.

large retail establishments require
their salespeople to wear black, be-

cause it is the best choice in colors,
but 1t 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 lis so
much in vogue, black serge, If well
tailored and fitted, will give the bust
ness girl greater satisfaction. After
this, 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.
1t 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
decisions 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.
