Circlets For K

The diamond garter has been a fad
for many years, but recently Berlin
women have decided the garter is not
worth the trouble and expense. now
that the Sheath gowns have gone out
of vogue To have large diamond
earrings was all very well, and rings
on dainty hands will always be in
fashion, but what more could the faa-
tidious woman ask than a sparkling
band of diamonds around her ankle?
First one OF the women in the Kais-
er's court started 1t. Others were
willing to emulate her, and now when
there Is a dance the circlet of gems on
the ankle inevitably calls attention to
a small foot and a shapely ankle.
But the one drawback to these aorna-
ments is that sometimes they become
loose and are lost. But the plain gold
band is used to take the place Of the
bejeweled circlet, and ONE risk
wearing those in the streets.-New

Demand For More Land.

The demand for land is increasing
every year by the natural increase of
native born, and by the addition of
100000 foreigners annually who
must be provided with homes. What
are we to do? We are not making
more land, but the population is con-
stantly growing more and more and
the demand for land is growing great
er and greater as the years go by. It
is beyond controversy that our peo-
pie must be furnished opportunity to
secure homes. Every year this be-
comes more and more the nations
duty. The greatest and uoblest mis-
sion of any nation is to settle its cit
liens in comfort and plenty in homes
of their own.

A Woman.s Time to Dress.

@"A correctly gowned woman can
not dress herself in less than one
hour and a half"
Nine. Marguerite Sylvia. the prima
donna, thus sets the feminine sarto-
rial time with inality.
A well groomed woman allows:
Fifteen minutes for a bath.
Ten minutes to adjust eorsets and
underwear. y
Fifteen minutes to go over the face
with a. light massage and powder.
Fifteen minutes at least to arrange
the hair.
Ten minutes to adjust the hat.
Twenty-Five minutes, being all that
is left, in which to arrange the outer
costume.
"Of course" said Nine. sylvia,
''these are the necessities of a wom-
ans toilet. She must allow, at least,
every other morning:
Thirty minutes for a manicure.
"Forty-fve minutes for waving the
hair.
can hour for a thorough massage
"For myself, I am never late. How
ever, 1 am afraid that the time I con-
slider necessary for dressing would
cause the learned Chicago judge to
bless a fate that never had led him
to my drawing room to cool his
heels"
The Chicago judge to whom Nine.
Sylvia referred is Judge Grove, who,
in connection with a fine he imposed
upon the chauffeur of Mrs. George
W. Lederer, exclaimed:
"a woman has no regard for time;
she will take half an hour to adjust
three hairpins. Women take too
much time in dressing and primping.
They have no idea Of the inconVe-
niences it causes their husbands,
friends and admirers"
Certainly there is n thing that
no man can understand" said Nine.
Sylvia, land l doubt if I IA explain
it.. The less a woman puts on the
longer it takes her to do it. Never
have women worn fewer clothes than
with the present fashions, and never
has 1t taken them longer to dress.
"But, after all, the question sim
mers down to this" concluded Nine.
sylvia, would a man prefer to wait
for an attractive woman, or to have
an unattractiye. woman. waiting for
him? Whatever is worth having is
worth waiting for?"-New York TEX

Are Women Bad tempered?

=
When it comes to a question of
hobbies and pursuits are wives ever
as indulgent as their husbands? A
man is usually far more lenient to
his wife's tastes than she is to his.
He may not be able to understand
her fondness for Mrs. Smiths COM
pany, but. he endures 1t without a
murmur. He may not appreciate her
espousal of the suffragette's cause,
but he allows her to gang her ain

Bear Our Sorrows.

BY preference we would bear all
our sorrows alone, fight out all the
hardest fights of heart and soul where
no one can pity us, or, with any well
meant attempt at healing, poke their
fingers into our sorest place; like
Jacob, we would wrestle with God in
the darkness and solitude of our own
chamber. But when we are happy it
is different; something must be want
ing unless there is one near to US who
understands and ishappy, too.-Wom-

confronted with his future devourer,
the Unsuitable Morgan.
In the face of these impressive ex-
amples of the ruthlessnes of one-man
power there has grown of late even
a greater personal dominion of the
financial world. By purchase, by COM
bination and by community of inter-
est there is now a J. P. Morgan power
which, embracing banking and trust,
insurance, industrial and transporta-
ton companies, controls or influences
capital amounting to more than six
thousand millions of dollars. 1t is not
necessary to say that this power is
abused to maintain the assertion that
its exercise is altogether too great a
responsibility for any individual, no
matter low good or how able. Con-
servatiVely estimated, with no account
of corporations in which this one man
is only moderately or sympathetically
interested and with no reference to
the four Morgan banking houses of
New York, London, Paris and Phila-
delphia, the principal M6rganized or
partly Morganized institutions to date
are as follows:

popular with the public at large, but to
the people of the valley skirting the river
and the steamboat men themselves it was
great event. The advance advertise
ment of a race between two popular boats
set the entire river country talking. Cot
ton and the tariff became side issues, bet
ting began on the favorite and the race
was anxiously awaited.
While discussions and wagers were
going on the captains of the rival steam
boats made contracts with wood boats
and coal flats, which were to be stationed
at various points up the river with the
crew ready to lay alongside and transfer
the cargo OF fuel on the move. Also the
steamers must be completely overhauled
and all spars removed, as well as all dis
pensable weight and equipment.

which amounted to $500 a month; but a

experience and close application.
He had to be we'll versed In his voca-

No danger must be considered. In fact,
many Of the steamboat disasters were due
to sheer foolhardiness. Up to 1850 there
were 576 steamers lost on the two rivers.
In the year 1860 there were 179 steam
boats partially wrecked and 120 wholly

Although at first 1t may seem an un.
