DRESS AND ITS PSYCHOLOGY
We Are Prone to Judge by ExternaIs.,
Declares Harrison Fisher, the
Famous Artist.

We are all Of us prone to Judge by,
externals, our early training in copy,
book maxims notwithstanding, says
Harrison Fisher ii Dress.
Emeline may have a lovely DISPOSE
ton, but that cannot hide the fact
that there are knots in her shoe
strings, and though Beatrice sings
like an angel, her gown fastens most
untidily. Emeline's friends might be
almost as sweet tempered as she is If
her boots were not enough to make
them cross. No less would the songs
Of Beatrice stir more hearts without
tie distractions of gaping hooks and
missing buttons. EXternals do count,
however broad We may think our
views to be.
1t il 4 common observation that
man gets an impression of a thing as
a whole. If he notices any detail, it
is apt to be a sign that something is
wrong. Careiessness, however, in the
dress of either men or women, is
usually betrayed by details.
Suppose that we ourselves have SC.
far developed our minds and sensibilf-
ties that We form our opinions by
what is, and not by what seems, are
we not in constant embarrassment
explaining cur careless friends to 9TH
ers who are less condoning? 1t is a.
very human failing to wish our friends
to appear well, kind of vanity, IL you
like, in proving the excellence of our
own taste There is no law requiring
US to placard our qualities to open
view. How can our fellow mortals
get any idea of US at the start Of ac-
Quaintance except by the eye?

Guest Room Slate.

One OF the greatest conveniences
which a hostess can devise for her
guests is clearly written card set on
the bedroom writing table detailing
the hours of meals, the times of in
coming and outgoing posts, the prin-
cipal trains and other useful informa-
ton.
1t was someone's clever idea to pro-
vide small china slate in each room,
on which might be written instruc-
lions for the housemaid 1t is often
difficult to find her during the day in
order to ask for the hot bottle, the
glass Of warm milk, the necessary
help when dressing for dinner or 9TH
er needs that may be required, and
to ring for her often is not desirable.

Mental Diseases.

Fear and apprehension make people
nervous and sick. The thousand and
one needless worries over the future
are simply providence for the morrow
gone mad. Fear of disease and death
are normal; but to allow the mind to
dwell on these things is to become a
hypochondriac with no more stability
than the leaf If the aspen.

day in studio while an artist drew
a charcoal portrait of him which will
be used for campaign purposes. Last
night he went to a theater accom-

day of handshaking and speech MAX
ing yesterday when he was notified of
his nomination.
The governor met the newspaper
correspondents last night at d local
hotel and was asked concerning those
planks in the Baltimore platform
which he did not mention in his speech
to acceptance.

tion" explained the governor The
things omitted did not happen to come
in my theme"

out at national headquarters yester-
day from many prominent democrats.

Austin, Tex, Aug 9-"Another war;
bubble arose in the rumor chaos Of
the Texas Mexican border today, grew
to somewhat alarming proportions and
then burst as It's many predecessors.
The newest invasion scare started
when Sheriff Edwards wired Governor
Colquitt that band of Mexican rebels
had crossed into Texas just below
Sierra Blanca and were raiding the
ranches thereabouts. The sheriff ad-
yised that he with posse, and the
state rangers stationed at El Paso
were leaving for the scene on spe-
cia train The governor thereuron
wired Secretary of War Stimson at
Washington, quoting the sher.ff's teie-
gram and applying for federal protec-

not do SO promptly | shall repel il

last night no reply had been received
fro mthe secretary of war. However.
Colonel E. z. Stever, In charge of the

owens Vote Heavy.


While Senator owen for weeks
claimed the race by 10000 or better,
his remarkable yote-getting strength
over the state generally has been a
matter of surprise to politicians. 1t
is figured he will come to the old Ok
lahoma line from Indian Territory
with not less than $4,000 more votes
than his opponent, and If this est
is true, the total majority will far ex-
coed what his managers claim. AS
an illustration of how Southwestern
Oklahoma tainbled into the Owen
camp, Tillman county which the mani
ayers modestly claimed Wednesday by
1000, turned in an actual majority for
him of 1,727 Pottwatomie county, at
first claimed by 500, will go to nearly
1900, Jackson furnishing 1900 of the
total. Harmon, halfway conceded to
Haskell, is Owens by 130, and Wood
ward, where the first resolution was
adopted asking Haskell to make the
senatorial race, went for owen. Cher
okee county gave him 2S5 mapority
and Logan 341. Other revised ma

400, Kay 64l, Lefore 200, Noble $50,
