Feminine Fripperies.

One way of being fashionable this
season is to introduce black velvet rib
bon into the building of your gown. 1t
matters not what particular part of your
costume you garnish with this effective
trimming. Also the amount used is
question of personal taste. The main
point is that YOU realize the part black
velvet ribbon is playing in fashionable
furbelows and gown yourself accordingly.

millinery. One of the smartest ways of
finishing these hats is to draw some con-
trasting shade Of ribbon across the crown
perfectly fiat and fasten it with flowers
to the brim, about halfway between the
crown and the edge. Sometimes a knot OF
the flowers is tackled beneath the hat
brim as II they had pushed their pretty
faces through the straw to peer at the
face beneath.
A violet shade OF this style had two
pieces of golden brown and white striped
ribbon drawn across the crown and
caught at the sides with purple and
brown velvet pansies. A cluster Of pan
sizes underneath the brim at the left side
nestled coquettishly in the hair.
An Aigrette for the Evening.
Ostrich feather bands are quite the
rage. In many cases they are used with
out any other trimming and are placed
bon band. Rolling sailors are attractive
with this simple trimming, and with the
addition of aigrettes they may be trans
formed into a dress hat by the mere use
Of a strong pin or a thrust Of the needle.
One of these sailors. with rolling brim,
was Of white hemp. bound with a narrow
roll of emerald green. An ostrich band
around the crown was finished with a
fiat green velvet bow. 4 cluster of white
aigrettes was added for evening wear.
Never have hat trimmings been simpler
and equally have they never been smart
er. For this reason the woman who likes
to express her individuality in her clothes
will find little difficulty in adapting one
of the fashionable millinery ideas to her
own taste and pocketbook.

FREE REMEDY HELPS CHILDREN

Many a mother has learned of a
way Of avoiding sickness in her fam
lily, especially among the children. by
the use of free sample bottle of the
famous laxative, DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This offer of the doctors to
send free sample bottle has been re-
sponded to by thousands of women
in all parts of America.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
truly wonderful laxative and espe-
cially adapted to the needs of babies
and children because it is pleasant to
taste and no child will refuse it. Then,
it is mild and never gripes. II is all
that q ehild's remedy should be,

ZUNI GIRLS PROPOSE.
Among the Zuni Indians Of New
Mexico the women pop the question TO
the men and the spouse goes to the
wife's home, she being the property
owner. She controls the house and
land and directs the business affairs of
the family.
when a Zuni girl takes a notion to
a young man she lets him know It
through her family, who appoint an IN
termediary to negotiate with the
sW aims family. And If, through a hor
oscope, the stars are found to be pro
pitious, he goes TO her house and they
take up the duties and obligations OF
. married couple. The wife remains
supreme. She took the initiative IN
the proposing.
And be It known that the Zuni wo
men are extremely modest and virtu
Gus and they would AFFORD in this re
spect a good example for all women.

But this step Of woman proposing
to the man OF her choice will come

ply the result of teaching. Among
the Zuni Indians these qualities are
exactly changed. 1t is the boy who
is so-called modest, difident and shy.
This is plain, for there he leaves his
own home when married Just as the
girl does here.
Another reason why women should
do the proposing Is that they are get
ting better educated than the men and
therefore will select more intelligent
ly and will be more cautious. Mar
riages will be happier and in time it
will be the women who will do the
counting. OF course, some women will
hang back In the. matter but in one
case it will be Jane who will do the
counting while in another Margaret
will wait for Tom to start the ball
a-rolling.
woMAN's sHYNEss A sHAMf
And I want to say right now that
this present diffidence and shyness Of
women is but a subterfuge, part Of
the social teaching that goes back to
the headship of the man, that the de-
scent is on his side, and that he leads.
This old idea Of patrtarchy-that
of the man being boss-is absurd. 1t
reminds me of sight saw one day
on Boylston street.
There was a man digging a ditch,
and over him was another who was
doing the bossing. A perfectly absurd
condition, but no worse than that of
the family where the husband Is the
sole boss. The wife, it seems to me,
should have as much right to her
opinion as her husband.
ALL WOMEN COULD MARRY.
Because of the feeling that the wo
men should be non-initiative in love
making, many of them are barred from
marriage. Most women would like to
marry. But If they are not given q
chance, what are they going to do2
THE situation at the present time
Is in the hands Of the men. When
Roosevelt told the women to marry
and raise big families, he spoke Ill
advisedly. 1t was to the men he should
have directed his remarks.
For example of my assertion thai
women should propose: Suppose that
Is a wealthy woman. She desires 9
husband who is her equal in intellect
ard social standing. II she were al
lowed to propose she could find one
easily; whereas, under the present con
dition, she ia forced to pass him up be
cause 1t is not considered womanly fol
a woman to propose.
