The Tennessee river yesterday was the lowest it has been in five years. There is only two feet of water in the channel at this point, which is not sufficient to float boats even of the smallest draught. The hoating season of the Tennessee is becoming less and less each year for some inexplicable reason. The indiscriminate cutting of timber on the watershed is blamed by many.

I lace, is a type" that much may be said about
 We all recognize the woman at a glance who buys "cheap" things because she thinks she cannot afford the ''best.' | l know a woman who is a wonder when it comes to buying things.
 She never buys a "shoddy'' thing, no matter how low the state of her finances may be.
 T can't afford to get anything but the very best" she declares. You see, have so little money to spend, and when l do buy, it must be with an eye to the lasting qualities. l find that the best Is the only thing worth sending home."
 You'd be surprised to see how seldom this woman goes shopping
 You never find her looking for "bar- gains"
 You never see her at "cheap" sales.
 She doesn't wear lace because shelcan't afford the 'real.'' She esohews jewelry because she can't buy the genuine" article. No plumes and feathers and cheap taw- dry effects. but always we'll made, substantial gown, and hat which is the wisest disposition that a woman can make of her money, after all Cheap finery'--it just keeps ringing in you can afford it. Several winters ago l was In New York and happened to drop in at Mrs. Os- borne's beautiful place one morning. rI,t.z A. ,l.t. atelier was crowded with women, and among them was Ethel Barrymore. 1 All of them had that "clothes ridden | expression on their tired faces, all save | Miss Barrymore who was perfectly se- rene.
 | The contrast of her simple elegance was so perceptible in comparison with these gaudily gowned women that couldn't help but notice it, and with all beloved crowd, she was the most mo- ticeable, for her simplicity of dress, her genuineness and her good taste. l She wore a dark blue cloth tailor gown, with a simple white shirtwaist, and her hat was a navy blue sailor that "dipped' bit, and she wore a plain white chiffon veil.
 | She sailed for Europe the next day, and when she started back to America in ] the fall, a newspaper woman in London l had an interview with her, and she de- scribed her gown, which happened to be the identical one I have just described, hat and all.
 One of Ethel Barrymore's proclivities in dress, she has often said, is to adopt a certain color and stick to it. That color for her for street wear is dark blue, and for evening white or black.
 She says in this way woman is al ways well dressed, and doesn't startle her friends by curious combinations of colors and effects, which is a very sen- sible idea.
 The French say that a woman should match her eyes in her street clothes, and her complexion in her house gowns, which means that most house gowns should be white or of the pastel pinks rcombined with effective ribbons and orn- aments, which makes the most charming color scheme woman can wear. | A word of good advice is to buy the ''best' however small ones income may be--the smaller as I said previously, the more necessary it is that such should be l the case.
 Do without until you can afford the best' is motto that if followed will save you much worry and trouble in the matter Of dress.

ciled and according 10 the Wisconsin law
as not rendered null and void, and that
the courts refusal TO interpret the policy
according 10 general commercial law
