Utica. n. Y.-After a restless and
unsatisfactory day. Vice President
sherman dropped off to sleep while
sitting in his chair DR.. Peck, who
has been with him most of the time
for twentyfour hours. departed for
home expressing confidence that his
patient would go through the night
without great distress. His kidneys
are acting more fayorably.
During the day there were several
emergency calls from the Sherman
house for the physician. The vice
president was not in great pain, but
was extremely restless and at times
irrational. Both of these conditions
were caused by the presence of urae-
mic poison. due to the inaction of the
kidneys. DR.. Peck makes no effort to
minimize the seriousness of this con
dition, but Is hopeful of being able to
stimulate the kidneys. and If he sue
ceeds, expects a marked improvement
In no event does he anticipate cri-
sis for day or two.
There is no effort to conceal the
facts concerning the vice presidents
case. On the contrary. both DR.. Peck
and Mr.. Shcrman's family concede its
critical nature The doctor says, how
ever, that kidney diseases are of such
an illusive nature that it Is impossi-
BILE to predict the course of any given
case. Mr.. Sherman's robust consti-
tuition is in his favor but the fact
that he has lost ground steadily since
August weighs against him.

SARToRIAL HINTS.
By Elizabeth Lee.

The business girl who finds her VIM
ter suit beginning to look shabby might
with advantage take look at the stock
of suits left over from the fail and winter
sales. There is quite a number Of. odd
suits in medium weights that would an
swer for the present wear and also for
general use all through the summer to
be found for the seeking.
I think it is such a mistake to wait
until Easter before buying a suit. For
one reason one does not often get much
wear out Of it. the summer comes in all
at once, and for another prices are al
ways at top notch. OF course If the cost
Is Of no importance and one is looking
for novelty, then by all means wait until
Easter, but If one is seeking smart.
practical suit at bargain this is not the
time to find it.
The plainly tailored suit OF conventional
cut and finish is always in good taste
and never goes out of style, SO in choos-
ing SUIT from the after-season models
it is well to avoid all fancy effects. Any
way, the plain suit is much more appro-
pirate to the needs of the business girl
as we'll as being smarter and she should
make up her mind to take this and nothing
else. The wide vale diagona1s that have
been worn SO much this winter are not
bit too heavy for cool days in summer.
while they give excellent wear, she'd
ding dust and soil most readily.
ane res too are not heary

the most satisfactory purchases the bust

styles should be avoided, such as the very
| narrow skirt made severely plain. Better
a model showing little pleating or some

suit
The same rule will apply to the coat
The diagonal cut across the back is very

/ lines will be a safer choice. One may not
go far wrong in taking the coat finished
with long revers. but it should not be

and lape.s never go out of style.
As to prices, it Is not at all unusual to

For SO one should get something quite

The elderly woman might find the sug-
gestions offered to the business girl of

The majority do not care for extreme
styles and they can also wear clothing
a little warmer than younger women all

class is contemplating the purchase of a
| new suit let the preliminaries of looking
over the ground be no longer neglected.

ones own price.

It's just cheap and easy to rejoice;
When God sorts out the weather and sends rain,
Why, rains my choice.
James Whitcomb Riley.
There passed our house the other day a
man in a cart, leading two horses.
One of these horses was hanging back
with all his might and main, fussing al
the bit and altogether having a most ter
rible time. And. of course, the harder he
pulled the worse it hurt him, and every
now and then the man in the cart had to
yank the rope to get him along at all
The other horse was being hustled along
at the same pace, of course, but he never
Jagged at all, and consequently his bit
wasn't pulled. and he looked quite CON-
Portable and cheerful. Yes, horses can
look cheerful, detected or cross. If you
don't believe they have expression its
lust because you never really looked at
them.
I suppose you could see this paragraph
coming before you reached it, but. really
wasn't there a perfect analogy in that lit
tie scene to the way human folks act?
Fate and circumstances lead us all along
at a certain pace. We've got to go Where
we're led whether we like 1t or not right
ing at the bit doesn't help mite. 1t sim
ply makes us uncomfortable and reminds
us that we are being led. Whereas. we
might trot along lii.e the cheerful horse
and pretend we were going just where We
wanted to anyway.
And yet all the livelong time some folks
drag at the bit. hurt themselves and MAKE
themselves just as uncomfortaDle as they
know how.
1t seems to me that the very bigges,
lesson of life is this-that happiness does
not lie i'm passions. possessions or power
or the lack Of these things, but is just a
state of mind.
The measures of gratified desires of any
kind pass just as the SNOW upon the
deserts dusty face, lighting little hour
or two is gone.
But the happiness of a contented mind
Of a mind determined to be contented
never passes. -
What's the use of dragging at the bill
and making the journey one perpetual
protest? Isn't it much better to be like
the horse that knows ne has 10 De lee
and lust trots along cheerfully?
Really, / can't see how there can pt
two opinions about that.

Furnishing the Den.

Now, comfort, of course, is to. be desired
lit is the keynote of the den-but this
does not mean that harmony need not ex-
list in the same room. A few suggestions
as to how both may be combined may no.
come amiss.
In a room of this kind more elastic
rules for furnishing are permitted than
anywhere else in the house. The owner
must be careful, however, not to go so far
as to render the effect obnoxious to the
eye.
Take, for instance, den seen recently
which was done in mission furniture, with
all sorts Of Egyptian and East Indian
draperies hung about the walls. Probably
the owner himself realized that something
was the matter with the room, but did
not know just where the trouble lay. The
mingling of styles so extreme as these is
sure to bring about an inharmOhious eff
feet which will crate on the good taste of
every beholder. Though there need be no
fixed style preserved throughout the room,
harmony should be preserved, neverthe-
less. In the den, as in the living room
in fact. in any room winch sasi1 IS IN use ny
be furniture suited to the tastes Of each
one but care should be exerted to keep
everything in good taste. For instance. in
the room mentioned above. the only
change that need have been made was in
the draperies. If the hangings had been in
Indian style they would have harmonized
with the mission furniture and at the
same time have offered an opposing note
of relief from the severity of this much
used furniture. The old Navajo blankets
make wonderful wall decorations, and
are quite as useful for rugs or sofa COW
erings Then, the Indian element might
have been continued to good effect in the
knickknacks. The woven blankets OF the
Moki Indians of Arizona and the Pueblo
pottery both make unique fittings for the
mantelpiece or shelves.

HINTS ON MAKING
THE HOME BEAUTIFUL


While woman's domain is the home, as
every one acknowledges, there is one
part of her kingdom over which she holds
no sway. This is the den. Here man
comes into his element, and usually en-
joys the privilege of fixing up one room
to suit his own taste.
While no reflection is cast upon the
masculine idea of beauty. still it must be
admitted that the appearance Of the usual
den does not lead one to believe that his
taste is altogether artistic.
A den is usually a room in which a
heterogeneous collection of furniture is to
be found-furniture which would do duty
nowhere else in the house. The men of
the family seek comfort rather than
beauty, and with this object in view bring
together all their favorite tables and
chairs regardless of the fact that they
may be artistically screaming against
one another.

THE TIME A WOMAN
SPENDS ON CLOTHES

The other day "a woman writer was
condemning feminine vanfties, especially
the one of dress. To some extent she is
right in her judgment on feminine vani-
ties, especially when she condemns the
woman who spends al her days and too
much of her money on clothes. But the
average woman does neither; in fact, who
are the women who pay the enormous
prices the dressmakers ask for their
dresses?
Numbers OF women want to know where
to buy their dresses, and when they know
how much they will have to pay at the
big dressmakers they buy them else
where. These are women who dress we'll.
They will not spend more than they can
afford on dress. and every one will agree
they are quite right. Moreover, they rep
resent the majority.
AS to the time spent on dress, it Is diff
ffcult to pass an opinion on such a mat
ter, but one thing Is certain, and that IS
that some women do not spend enough.
One woman, high up in the educa iional
world. realized not so very long ago that
dress was of Importance, because she
noticed that many of her cleverest stu
dents missed the best posts in after life
because they paid no attention either to
dress or carriage. She herself had no
taste for clothes either, but she was wise
enough to acknowledge it, and she per-
suaded a friend to undertake the care OF
her wardrobe.
So now, twice a year. she is thoroughly
turned out with new toilets, the result
being that she has gained in influence and
has not lost any of her ser GUS character.
She has even lectured to her students on
the subject. and made them see how i'm
portant 1t is for woman to have a
pleasing appearance, even though she
may have all the learning of the sages.
Then there is another plea for women
who spend time and money on their
clothes They keep endless industries
alive by what appear to many people to
be extravaganza, and the only thing
with which to reproach them is that they
SO often accept hideous fashions from the
dressmakers when their sense Of the fit
ness of things should make them refuse
to look at anything which does NOT eX-
press beauty and usefulness combined.
