RATLESS DAY IN INDIANA

One of the most unique celebrations
recently was held in Hope, Ind. The
day was characterized as "ratlcss
day" and the campaign was conducted
by High school girls.
Like nearly all American l~assies,
the Hope school girls had fallen vic.
tins to the hair rat. The village
school authorizes begged them to at
tend classes for at least n day with
out their artificial c%Oiffures. The girls
accepted the invitation for the novelty
of the affair.
There was CONSERVATION, however,
when the girls assembled 'ratless."
'Ratless day" proved to be a great
sucCess or at least the teachers
thought so. The teachers believed
there would be fewer headaches re-
ported and that better grades would
result at the end of the year if the
rats were abandoned. But the very
next day the girls were in their seats
with rats-big and little.
The school authorities nave not en-
tirely given up hope

Cretonne Writing Set a GIT which
Will Be Pleasing to
Any Girl.

For the maid who loves White
enameled furniture and dimity cur
tains and dresden china toilet articles
nothing could be more charming than
a cretonne-covered writing set for the
boudoir desk. 1t is especially approp
riate in a simple rosebud design for q
young girl.
First there Is the big blotter, the
foundation cut out Of heavy cardboard
after a leather model and the ere
tonne carefully pasted on, with tiny
stitches to round the corners proper
ly. A narrow gimp edging may be
used if desired, but If you can do the
tier without.
Next in order is the set of note
books, ranging from the big dairy to
the little address book, and each neat
ly bound. Here the gilt or green gimp
is more in order, but you may suit
| your own tastes about that.
Calendar (the cards for the perpet-
ual variety may be bought. with a
light, cheap frame, at any stationer's)
and picture frames belong together;
and after them come the little boxes
for pen points, elastics, etc. These
may be merely little jewelry boxes
lined with silk or velvet or, better.
gray chamois.
There are three articles which
must not be included in this set.
These are the ink well and the pen
tray, because of the danger Of stain
ing them, and the candlesticks, be-
! cause of that of fire. But If you wish
your set to be complete, you can get
these in dresden china, with a little
clock to match, in a design closely
approximating that of the cretonne.
Perhaps it would be better to buy the
china first and match the cretonne
from it.
All sorts Of smaller articles. such
as little blotters, penwiper, paper
cutter, etc, may be covered with the
pretty fabric. OF course, brocaded
silk may be used instead, If you de-
sire to make the Set a more expen-
sive one.
And. by the way, give a piece of
the plain fabric with your present, or
get it extra If you are making the set
for yourself. For accidents will hap
pen, and first aid is a useful thing to
have at and.

LAKE BAIKAL IS A PUZZLE

The riddle of Lake Baikel, in Cen
tral Asia. is similar to that OF Lake
Tanganyika. in Central Africa. In
both cases a large body of fresh water
remote from the ocean contains or
ganisms apparently marine. Both
lakes, again, contain a very large mum
Der OF species not found elsewhere.
Lake Baikal contains numerous a
mon and seals, as we'll as three spe-
cies of herring. 1t also contains a few
mollusca Of apparently marine forms
One of the most remarkable features
of the lake, perhaps, is that although
it is frozen over for about five months
In the zeal the animal life is extreme
Iy abundant and varied. This may be
partly accounted for perhaps by the
existence Of hot springs.
One of the latest attempts to an
swer the riddle of Lake Baikal Is that
of the Russian investigator. M. Berg.
OF the 33 species Of fish found in the
lake he finds that IA are peculiar to 1t,
while 10 have a wide distribution in
Siberia and Europe. Many Of these
peculiar species are without near rela-

a Timely Tin.

This is an excellent season for bring
ing out the family lace box and going
through it carefully to see what treas

infinite number of ways in which bits
Of lace may be employed. No the
least of these Is a garniture on ones
new spring millinery. Some Of the
very smartest hats are to be trimmed
with lace or made entirely of it. White
lace is especially favored and will be
seen on picturesque bonnets as well as
ON smart walking toques. One of the
new designs is a bonnet made Of white
lace and trimmed with ruchings of
narrow black velvet. The only other
garniture Is a posy Of tiny pink s

the attendant comes to look the fish

next morning, however, she had rea-
son to doubt. They were sitting on
the veranda, when a tin peddler
stopped at the gate. He came up the
path laden with pans and dippers and
basins, and addressing the girl he
said:

Edith as she rose with great dignity.

The peddler was sent about his bust

Aunt Susan's cheeks did lot disappear
for hours. Right away after luncheon
they took the train for the city to look
at some bargains in shirt waists. The
station agent was a rather good-look-
ing young man, and on several occa-
sfons he had had something to say to
the Judge and his Notwithstanding

tickets or checking trunks. But as for
anything approaching a Irritation in
the slightest degree that was all O

to buy the tickets, and when she

PREFERRED THE GREEN ONES

a dozen or more melons here since
the a opened. I have always
made the selection for you, l don't
feel quite right about 1t. You have
made no kicks, but your coachman
was in here yesterday and was tell
ing me that Of all the melons thus
far sent up. all but a single n
turned out to be green"
"Well?"
I'm sorry about it. Nine out Of
ten of the melons I've handled this
year seem to be green, and I hone
you won't think it's my fault"
why, my dear man, there's no
cause for complaint-no cause what
ever"
"But I know low disappointed I
person is when they come to put q
melon on the table and find 1t green"
'Tut. tut. man. I'm buying melons
OF you because l like 'em green. They
last twice as long as the ripe ones
and are no higher In price. Pay NO
attention to my coachman. II ~
likes ripe melons it's his mlsepre
tune."-Pittsburg Dispatch.
