The times are becoming showery and
are likely to continue so right along until
the week after Easter-not Jupiter Plu-
vious, however, but just a rainfall of
things pretty, desirable and useful on the
heads of Easter brides to be.
1t has become the thing. according to
the dictum Of the younger set. to have
these little functions as original as pos
sible and to keep each event a dark secret
from the recipient.
It is possible to vary even the conven-
tional linen or kitchen shower, which still
remains, despite all innovations, the best
for the average girl who has married love
and moderate means. For instance, the
future bride can be invited to attend, or

tional form. while others likely to be in
terested could receive their biddings
tucked away in tiny umbrellas the length

The affair might be announced as pro-
gressive needle party, and during the first
half hour or so of the afternoon it takes
this form.
| At this progression there are various
little tables, the number regulated ac-
cording to the number Of guests who will
play, and at each table are a basket of
needles Of various sizes and several spoOls
Of cotton. The rounds are five minutes
long, marked by bell signals or q Chinese
gong, and the object in each becomes to
thread as many needles as possible before
the second bell rings The length of the
thread is prescribed. but this is the only
restriction.
The two girls threading most receive
stars on their tallies and progress to the
next table.
These same tallies, by the way. may be
designed to afford a hint to the bride il

in any case it comes too late to spoil the
fun. They are little umbrella shapes cut
from cardboard and tinted, II desired. on
one side with water color. The stars
when pasted on them become symbolic of
those which follow the heaviest shower.

the person winning most stars in all the
rounds When this has been awarded

The first act of Importance of the
Democratic state school book com
mission, saved the parents of pupils in
Ohio schools from $15O,OOO to $3.50, 900
annually. This was done by reducing
the price of school books 161s per
cent. The Democrats on this board
are Governor Harmon and Secretary
of State Graves. The other member,
State School Commissioner Zeller, is
Republican. zeller has been de-
nounced by Republican, members of
the legislature for his activities in be-
half of legislation desired by the
school book trust 1t is significant
that Zeller, through his chief clerk,
opposed the move which took money
from the pocketbook of the trust and
saved it for the people.
This school book commission meets
every five years to fix the price that
the book trust is to sell school text
books to boards of education. The
book trust 16 years ago had statute
enacted fixing the maximum price to
boards of education at rs per cent of
the wholesale list price. Although the
state school book commission had the
prerogative to cut below that, 1t had
never been done until this year. Re-
publicans had always been in control
of the commission. Democrats prompt
ly cut the price to 161s per cent below
the rs per cent. Recent developments
show that the book trust has been dis
eliminating against the school chill
dren. Statistics have cen obtained
which show the book trust has been
making discounts of 33 1-3, As and so
per cent, to private dealers, all the
time Republican schooi book commits
sions were accepting measly rs per
cent discount in behalf of the people

The cardinal principle of Democra-
cy is economy and the Democratic
general assembly lived up to that prin-
ciple. Not only all state officials kept
watchful eye for the purpose of
stopping unnecessary expenditures but
officers and employers of the general
assembly were also on the lookout In
the house of representatives there was
a saving during the last session OF
$1,023.09 on stationery that was issued
by the stationery clerk to house mem

in control of the Ohio house of repre-
sentatives the requisition by members
on the sergeant-at-arms for station
cry aggregated S2,63545. During the
session of the Democratic general as
sembly the acquisitions aggregated
81, ,61235. In other regimes 1t has been
customary for the sergeant-at-arms to
donate a whole box of lead pencils or
paper and envelopes. The Democrat

AN ADVENTUROUS NOVELIST.

The first white woman to reach the
far hinterland of West Africa alone
and unaided by any member of her
own race is the English novelist, Mary
Gaunt. Word of her adventurous jour
ney through tropical wilderness and
Jungle has just reached London in the
form of a long personal letter from
Miss Gaunt to her solicitor, Mr.. Laurie.
The letter was dated at a point five
days journey beyond Kumassi, the
last outpost of civilization, where mo-
white woman had ever before ven
tured. The excitement along the route
proved a source of great amusement
to Miss Gaunt, as well as of some I'M
easiness. At every village vast crowds
of natives were assembled to see the
strange woman with the white face
and wonderful dress.
AS she neared the entrance to a vii
| LACE the chiefs and their bodyguard
would come out to receive her in state,
with umbrellas twirling, tomtoms beat
ing and long guns popping a royal sa-
| Lutte. A bevy of women then rushed
forward bearing gifts of fowls, vans,
bananas, eggs and huge long-horned
sheep. These were presented with a
weird ceremonial, while the chiefs
smiled and the populGce yelled and
shouted a vociferous welcome.
Then came a moment of emparrass-
ed hesitation while the chiefs consult
ed in lively fashion together. At last
the head chief marched solemnly up to
his fair-skinned visitor and salaamed
three times beneath the royal umbrel
la, always held over him by two stall
wart bearers, after which was deliY
cred a sonorous speech, which was
quickly interpreted into a humble re
