The Fashionable Couture.

Fashion today demands that the
coiffure be simple There are no more
formal curls, no more hard and fast
pu1fs, no heavy and hot supports, for
the pompadour. There are innumer-
able styles in coiifurcs, but all of
them are chacterized by simplicity
and shapeliness. Now. while any ar
rangemeht of the hair that shows
these qualities is in harmony with the
mode, there is one feature of the mod
el coiffure that is distinctive and al
most generally becoming This is the
braid or coil that ehcircles the head.
1t may be the conventional Roman
braid, thick firm plat or il may be
a simple coil, but it forms part of
the majority of the new styles. It's
functions must be understood if we
are TO use 1t correctly.
But, hear you object, what cruel
style it is that requires sufficient hair
for braids and coils to extend all
around the head. so 1t would be were
this the case, but the half of art is
suggestion; it is not necessary to car
ry the hair all around the head
merely suggest the complete circle
For instance, supposing you part you:
hair in front and roll it at the sides
Then comb your back hair upward
divide it, twist 1t, cross it ard carry
the ends to the point where they can
be tucked under the hair rolled at the
sides. BY this simple means, you have
given your head the proper shape
also a sufficient hint of the fashion.

The First Step Toward Becoming
Dress.

Every woman should have en- ideal
image of herself and should force her
mind to hold it," says Grace Margaret
Gould in the Woman's Home Compan-
ion for March. ''IIer features and form
should be but a frame on which to
build charming individuality. She
should know herself, for that is the
one important secret of becoming
dress.
Such self-knowledge, however,
must be complete and candid without
the slightest trace of flattery In order
to reform, defects must be clearly
understood Feminine loneliness is
never absolutely perfect. One of the
most frequent EXPLANATIONS of visitors
to the art-galleries of Europe on be-
holding a famous painting of some
more famous beauty is Why! How
plain she was
THE brush of the artist told the
truth, but not the whole truth. 1t
showed The beauty as she was, but
not as she appeared to be.
"The same lesson, in different
way may be learned from the art OF
modern landscape painting. Here is a
scene that stands forth bold and
beautiful. We feel it; we breathe it
in; it is an inspiration
Yet, examine the painting closely
and what do you find. A daub here, a
splash there, with details few and
rude. 1t is the impression of the whole
that does it.
1T is the impression in dress that
counts.
THE human eye as a microscope is
very imperfect. 1t fails to see very
truth. but not the whole truth. 1t
many things that are quite plainly
before it and it sees best what it likes
to see most. 1t takes the attractive
points and lets the rest go.
Sometimes no more than the ty-
ing of ribbon or the distinctive fold
of lace. Style is intelligence II
means study-the study of color and
draping and the magic of the proper
line. 1t means knowing how to lift
dress from being merely a covering
into making it living part of one
self. 1t means the knowing how t.
select ones clothes and the knowing
how to wear them. Style is knowledge
of self. Women should know them
selves-how they really look and then
how they would like to look. Intelli-
gent dressing will change the one into
the other"

The Call of the Out Door World.

| asked a friend to go to walk the
other day and what do you suppose
her idea of walk was? A stroll about
town on concreted streets and visit
to the shops taking exceeding care not
to muddy ones shoes at the crossings.
Away with it, 1t was the fields
wanted, the fields and country roads

On Religious Differences.


little knot of Salvation Army
workers was gathered in the attitude
of prayer ON Main street Sunday af-
ternoon, hats off, heads bowed, while
the leader prayed in a simple earn
est tone In which there was nothing
of pretcnse or desire for show.
Across the street, a man applied his
lips to a tin horn and blew a long,
shril blast which etfectually inter-
rupted the religious service and pro-
volted daughter from a few bystand-
ers who had been drawn to the scene
through no more worthy motive than
curiosity. Elated with his success, the
man pulled another blast and disap
peared behind the City Hall. Possibly
he considered it an ingenious trick
Perhaps he was entirely thoughtless
in the matter but it seemed TO me al
open insult in the face Of God Just
thar. There are few of us who have
the courage to brave the ridicuie and
the heaped-up abuse and the insult
ing jeers that the Salvation Army
workers endure. Few of us are strong
enough or think ourselves strong
onougl mentally or physically, to
shun the luXuries and the very com
forts Of life in order to minister to
the spiritual and bodily needs Of
those who are in want. Few of us
would Dare trust our personality to
walk d,wn Main street in 4 faded
gown and an unbecoming bonnet lest
our friends should discover how much
of us was clothes and how little the

across the street last Sunday was

creed of their neighbors. | am tireG

The iii Fortunes Of Hamburg Belle
and Her Dam.

That there was a persistent and
lateful "noodoo" attending the la
mented Hamburg Belle and her dam
Sally Simmons is evident from the
hitherto unpublished account of the
two mares furnished by f. r. Bed
ford, who owned both. The New York
fancier purchased Sally Simmons
from the estate of Major Samuel L.
Dickinson and used her on the road
for several years. After she was re-
tired from active service her laier
career, as stated by Mr.. Bedford, Was
as follows:
sally Simmons was first sent to-
Quartermaster and bred in the early
spring. She came in season again lat
er IN the fall and was bred again and
the result was that she fcale,l two
colts, both dead, one from the first
service fully formed, and the other
but partly so. d. After the death Of
Quartermas,er she was sent to AK
worthy and later on, with Black
iuNs W no Aliu DtE'i III tu w DI'Jh II ht,-
ter, was shipped to John f. Madden's
farm at Lexington.
she was then served by Arion anc
when within two months OF foaling
slipped on the ice, broke her mind legs
and had 10 be destroyed. These two
colts, one by Brown Master, Rames,
and Hamburg Belle, were developed
at Wynfromere Farm. Raffles was sold
to Mr.. Buckley, at Southport, getting
a record of ANA. A half interest in
Sally Simmons Second as she was
then called, after she got record Of
2;12% at Mineola in 1907, was sold
to John Z. Madden at $4,000, l telling
him that she certainly would trot in
2:0j. Later on the other half was sold
TO him at the same price.
Hamburg Belle was sick during
her 2-year-old form so that we not
only did not think we could raise her,
but often wished that she might net
live. she was so weak that at times
she had to be fed lying down. She re-
i covered in the late summer and as a
2-year-old, in November, drove her
a quarter in road cart on a hllf mile
track in 81 seconds. The next year
drove her as a 3-year-old a half in
l;0SA She then got speed crazy and
! turned her over to my farm slperin-
tenlent, r. L. Williams, who, vita
great patience and care, developed her
both as a and 5-year-old. As a =
year old she was entered IN several
importan, stakes but went lame ana
had to be withdrawn We were rver
able to ten just where her lamoness
was. 1t seemed in the nature OF "A

500.
Doubtless many more striking Illus
trations might be- cited. With prices
for all farm produce so high there
should be a general movement tow
ard farming rather than away from
1t. The abnormally high prices of
pork and beef should induce great
increase in the number of hogs and
cattle raised and a corresponding in
crease in the amoun. of corn raised
to obviate the necessity of large pur-
chase of Western feed. There appears
to be no danger of over production of
farm products for good many years,
If ever again. With good maple
sugar grove, a productive apple orch
ard, choice dairy, and good crops
of hay, corn, potatoes, oats, beans, etc,
there shuld be money in farming.

The Five "Arguments."

When 20 years ago John Wanamak-
er. then postmaster general of the
United States, said there were five
arguments against a parcels post, and
enumerated them as the five express
companies, he stated a trtuh that to-
day Is patent, If 1t was not then, to
every person who gives the matter a
moments consideration. We have nc
figures at hand as to the number OF
millions of dollars that have been di-
verted from the revenues of the gov
ernment into the pockets of the com
panies. but the total amount must be
stupendous.
1t is an indication of the patience
conservatism-and dull stupidity-of
the people Of the United States that
they have put up for nearly half a
century with the outrageous robbery
perpetrated upon both the govern
ment and the people by this indefen-
sible monopoly. For the express COM
panies use both hands at once-pack-
ing Uncle Sans pockets with one and
Mr.. Common Peoples with the other.
BY preventing legislation for the
establishment of a parcels post they
keep from the postoffice department
what would be a most profitable and
legitimate branch of business, and one
which would Immediately put an end
to the bogey of an annual postal de-
ficit. The people, at the same time,
are forced to pay exorbitant rates for
inferior service, whereas they would
be much better served at lesser cost
were the express business in the hands
of the postoffice department where 1t
belongs. A third consideration, not
so Immediately apparent but none the
less susceptible of proof, it the fact
that the express companies. by de-
priving the railroads of this profitab BILE
business tt first hand, have forced
them TO increase freight and passen-
ger rates beyond the point otherwise
necessary to pay interest on their ex-
cessive bond issues and dividends on
their generously watered capital.
Thus the public suffers at every
point to supply enormous profits to
a monopoly that should never have
been permitted to exist for a day. How
much longer will IL he content IN slh-
NIT to a condition Of extortion and
inferior service that exists I'm no 9TH
