very important to say.
From far and near they came. They
came in twos, in tens, in hundreds and
in groups of thousands, and for miles
around the green hills and fields were
black with them.
And then they all became very quiet
and the wise cricket began to speak.
MY dear people" he began, "do you
ever stop to think how very selfish you
are-how' you are living your whole
life simply for your own good? You
do not know what JOY is and you never
will know until you forget yourself for
the sake of someone else"
The crickets listened, very much
ashamed.
"You never knew that you could
sing, did you?" he continued. "Well,
you can, and l want you to all sing
this little song after me-" Then he
sang very softly-"Go to sleep. little
boy; go to sleep, little girl; go to sleep,
little boy; go to sleep, little girl"
All the crickets joined in the chorus
with will, and they marveled at the
joy it gave them.
Every summer night since that time
they have sung that song to the little
people of the land at bedtime, and that
is why they are very much loved today
by every living thing.

WASHING CHAMoIs GLOVES.

In washing chamois gloves do moi
wiring them or even squeeze dry as with
ordinary glove cleaning. The skins pull
easily and wringing breaks the tender
fabric. Put the rinsed gloves into a
thick Turkish towel and press out most
Of the moisture, then hang them in q
strong currest of air to dry. Fasten the
pair together by buttons and hang
with fingers down. The shrinking, of
which many women complain in chamois
glove washing, can be overcome by dry
ing the gloves on the hand, after they
come from the Turkish towel and a few
minutes airing. A pair of glove trees,
however, also precludes shrinking. Rub
gently until dry. The heat OF the hand
makes this drying a quicker process than
most women imagine and there is little
danger Of taking cold. Do not neglect
,rinsing as well as washing in soapy
water If you do not wish your gloves tc
stiffen. But by leaving the soap in, the
color Of the gloves is much improved and
the stiffness soon wears or

Girlish Charms,

Good manners are not hard to cultivate,
but It is difficult for the young girl to
realize their Importance. Yet II she will
only stop to think she will remember
some older woman who, in her eyes,
holds everything Of grace and charm.
Then. why does she not try to initiate
her? Why does she not study this
woman's personality and find out her
charm?
- The young girl should be considerate
of all things. In being that she will find;
nearly everything else will be compara-
lively easy.
She will not talk in loud. breezy tones
because she will know that in doing So
she is disturbing others.
She will not hurry through the streets
in bold and pushing manner, nor stand
on the pavements with a group Of gig.
Cling girls, because she knows she IS
making Of herself a nuisance.
Nor will she enter shops and engage In
high-pitched conversation plentlfully
sprinkled with slang and incommodins-
other customers by blocking the cOun-i
ters.
Once a girl accepts consideration as a.
foundation she will soon find herself pos.
sessed of a charming personality.

NOVELTIES IN NECKWEAR
All Manner of Artistic Collars Designed for Feminine
Use in Summer
Use in Summer.

The most popular novelties of the sea-
son in neckwear are large sailor and
round collars. Lord Byron collars, fchus,
Dutch collars. and graduated side frills.
All except the fichus are much worn on
coats and one piece coat dresses in wool
en- and linen materials. They make the
simplest suit a jaunty affair with little
trouble.
There is an unprecedented use Of large
collars and frills on the waists for sum-
mer wear. The lace and embroidered
collars are in endless variety, and are
square, round, pointed. or with fancy
outline, the front finish showing variation
in the round and revers outline, or the
long ends crossing in surplice fashion.
Frills of handmade lace, or lace
trimmed, both plated and ruffled, appear
on waists Of all styles. The models OF
silk, Grape, satin, and fancy materials
have the simple or double frill Of match
ing chiffon trimmed with lace, insertion,
and edging. while lingerie waists show
this finish in handkerchief linen or waist
material, lace trimmed. In some in
stances there is a lace frill overlaid TO
give a more dressy effect. Baby Irish.
cluny, and val laces appear on the more
dressy waists, while linen and less ex-
pensive laces are used for waists Of less
expensive material.
Waists with Detachable FrilIs.
Some OF the newest waists are made
with detachable fri1Is. The graduated
side frIll is the favorate Of the Paris
ienne, and is rapidly gaining prominent
and well merited favor with Americans,
being one of the most attractive acces-
sories a woman can wear, giving a soft
ened effect to the face, as all ruffies do.
The most fashionable mode of adjust
ment of the frill to a coat is to attach
the band of the frill underneath the lap
ping over front edge. so that the frill
extends over the V-shaped neck, opening
to the other side Of the coat, where ii is
frequently pinned to prevent it dropping
too much. Sometimes the frill Is at
tached underneath the front plat OF the
shirt waist and is then permitted to pro-
trude over the coat lapel A great fav-
orite is the side frill, about ten to twelve

Very smart little separate coates of
lace, marquisette, or ninon are shown to
wear over colored gowns. One Of the
most charming is a short model Of gray
marquisette, much trimmed with gray
silk embroidery, very lightly touched here
and there with silver, and with Just four
very large buttons of exquisite design in
paste and old silver, two on the fronts
and on each Of the wide, open cuffs.
While blue is undoubtedly highly IA
vored this season, there are two other
coIors which are making bold bid for
popularity. One is what may be called
an early Victorian red; the other is q
kind OF mustard yellow. Neither sounds
attractive, but in effect they are singu-
larly becoming when worn by the right
people. and make most successful splashes
Of color.
The art Of dressing well consists chiefly
In choosing from among the numerous
styles which are offered for considera-
tion something that will suit the individ-

WHY SHOULDN'T
WOMEN VOTE
A Herald Reader Pleads for
Prompt Enfranchisement.

Editor Womans Page:
Opponents of woman suffrage claim
that the suffrage would not benefit
women, while it would be detrimental
to them in many ways.
Will the suffrage demoralize them? In
those places where women vote, espe-
cially in Australia, men assert that
many women have obtained a more re-
fined air. Men in the United States need
not be afraid that politics will injure
the morals of women.
As to intellect. it is certain that
women would become more broad
minded, more wise, and more practical.
At election time men seek information
upon all important issues, so that they
may be able TO vote intelligently. This
instruction comes through periodicals,
lectures, &c. Since women do not need
to prepare themselves for voting, many
do not take advantages of this valuable
ers, they would frequently be elected
to Office. With this in view, many
would study law. political economy, and
history.
1t cannot be said that women would
be financially aided, except that they
would get equal pay with men when
doing the same work. OF course, this
is a great thing in itself. but, further,
they would not get much more, as is
seen by what the men Especially work
ingmen) derive from their voting. But
without doubt voting would not be detri-
mental to them in this respect, and so
the financial question is eliminated.
Thus we see that women would not
be unfavorably effected by the exten-
sion of suffrage, and since this is the
case, women ought to be enfranchised

Make Paste More Adhesive.

When desiring to paper whitewashed
walls it is necessary to get more ad-
hesive paste than the plain mixed flour
paste generally made for this purpose.
This can be achieved by mixing the
-four paste with skinned milk instead Of
water No cream whatever should be
left on the slximmed milk: this can best
be done by skimming several times be-
fore using, or the whey Of milk. when
making cottage cheese. can be used for
the same purpose.

HINTS TO HELP WOMEN
APPEAR WELL-DRESSED

they keep fresh. and they save the after
noon frocks immensely. A smarter ver-
sion Of the cotton frocK is in mercerized
sateen foulards, which come in dull pas
tel blues and grays. made with a bolero
top and hem of self-color, which look
exactly like silk foulards.
Silk covered hairpins are novelty and
have the great advantage Of not slipping
out of the hair. They are made in eight
shades-gray, auburn, two shades of
golden and four shades Of brown.

SUMMER PHILOSOPHY.

It is rather easy to forget an
old love-if you have a new one
anywhere on your horizon.
1t isn't half as interesting to
know that a man Is head over
ears in love with you as it is to
suspect that he might be.
If a girl looks soulfully at
man and tells him that she be-
lieves everything he tells her he
will be inspired to tell the truth
or to lie harder. r
1t all depends upon whether the
man she happens to be talking to
is athletic, businesslike, or artis-
tic, which line the really clever
girl dotes upon.
The person who is generous
with fiattery never has to be gen.
erous with anything else.

~ NCE upon upon a time there lived
a large family of little black
crickets. There were hundreds
of thousands of them and they were
known among all living things as being
very selfish. Year in and year out they
spent their time gathering food for their
own use during the long cold winter,
but never were they known to do a
kind act for one of their number or for
any living creature.
How the birds, the fur-bearing ami
mails and the other insects pitied them.
"The crickets were not enjoying life
a BIT" they said, and this was very true.
They did not know the wonderful feel
ing which comes with helping someone
else.
Now one day tiny black cricket was
born to this large family-a cunning lit
tie fellow about the size of your little
fngernail
He didn't appear any different from
the other crickets at first, but as he
began to grow up, all the other crickets
began to realize that leader had come
among them-a very wise leader, who
was much more able and wonderful
than they were.
Time went on and the newcomer grew
to be big chap-very nearly the size
of twenty-hve-cent piece. For days
