HAZING THE BRIDAL COUPLE.

The bride occupies a pedestal of
stately eminence-up TO the time
when the ices have been served.
Then she, with that minor issue, the
bridegroom, become the under dogs.
II is then up 10 them to escape by
the underground passage or dis
guised as servants or in some other
way TO avoid the desire of theiI
friends 10 commit assault and bat
terry.
Getting mad because your guests
stuff your umbrella with rice, or pelt
you with confetti on your own lawn
is silly. Pursuing you thirty miles
by automobile and tracking you down
to your lair in the seclusion of the
bridal chamber, throwing confetti
over the transom and tying ribbons
to doorknobs are another thing.
There are circles in which it is
considered also a very humorous act
indicative of great originality anC
broad mental caliber, where the
bridegroom is kidnapped and helt
captive for "a hours, while the bride
is crying her eyes out because &
mess of dish water has been thrown
over her honeymoon path strewr
with flowers.
Marriage festivities will always be
time for the tricky young folks tC
play their pranks. But it is a time
when they display pretty clearly
whether they were brought up in {
real home or in a beer garden.
Many brides and grooms have
started out for the time of their lives
with grains of rice lodged in the eye
balls, so that a visit to the occulis
or the hospital was the first item o.
their pleasuring Which shows tha
some people have a queer idea o

LET PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT 1T.

A merchant may have an ideal
stock Of goods, selected with good
judgment, offered at low profits
But If he does not take pains to tell
the people about it, few will remem-
ber that he is doing business when
they have anything to buy.
This IL no day for hiding your
light under the bushel OF business
feticence. People don't seek out
things that hide away out OF sight.
They have to be sought out The
initiative must always be taken by
the man who has goods to sell.
An advertisement giving your
name, place Of business, and few
general facts about your line, will
be useful. 1t will remind people of
your existence, and the impression
will turn the footsteps of a good
many to your store.
The advertisement can be made
Infinitely more effective, however,
by taking a few definite leaders and
concentrating attention on them.
Describe them just as you would to
a buyer in your store, and name the
price. You can't fail to interest peo-
pie.

GOOD BUYING FOR THE HOME.

1t is not so much what amount OF
money you can earn, it is what
amount you spend, and particularly
how you spend IT, The good buyer
for any proposition, be it a steel
trust or a mechanics cottage home,
follows the market closely.
Every business man has his file Of
trade papers He reads daily the
quotations on his raw material and
supplies. If he fails to do SO, he
finds that he is often paying more
than is necessary for his goods.
There are business men who live
a thousand miles from Chicago who
are not quite satisfied with the tele-
/ graphic news about produce which
/ they find in the daily newspapers.
They will call up that center of the
/ grain trade by long distance tele-
/ phone and spend $40 or more for
/ tolls every business day, to beat out
/ the telegraph by few moments.
The local newspaper performs the
function for the buyer for the home
/ proposition, that the market report,
the telephone and the telegraph per-
/ form for the big business man
The homekeeper who does not
study the advertisements Of the near
by stores day by day fails of as many
/ opportunities for money saving as
/ the business man.
There are chances to get excep-
tional values every day in these
stores. Many of them are reported
through advertising columns of this
newspaper. A few moments spent
In studying the homekeeper's market
as there reported will save dollars in
making the purchase.
The skillful advertiser understands
this perfectly. He has long age
learned TO make his advertising very
definite and specific, like market
| report rather than spready like q
! billboard.

handbag on Williams head. He
went down. When he tried to
arise the girl soaked him again.
William managed to crawl to the
car door, and got off in a hurry.
He told his troubles to a police
man.
1T all comes from apiece in
the paper" he said. "The Rev.
DR.. Robbins of Cincinnati, in a
sermon, said the most women
were knock-kneed. Then Miss
Susie Rennick and Mrs. Alma
Kephart-W Wilson, school teachers,
confirmed the pastor, and appeal
ed to the w. c. T. U. to ilaug-
urate dress reforms that would
hide the deformity.
"And here Miss Helen Taylor,
in a. 5th avenue shop, says that
practically all of her customers
were either nock-kneed or bow
legged. The paper went on to
discuss the question, some women
claiming that knock-knees were
peculiar to the sex, and others de-
claring that er-er-everything was
all right. So l became curious,
and l thought the best way to
prove the charge was to ask a
woman. I'm still puzzled"
The policeman said he was a
single man. And William still
has his question unanswered.
The burning question in New
York now is:
Are women knock-kneed?

William was buried in his paper

his paper, stepped across the aisle

evening brings a revival of energy.
There is nothing SO killing to family
comfort as the sight of unmade beds
and unwashed dishes. Anyone who
has watched men polishing and
cleaning the yachts in a harbor will
have no doubt of a mans ability to
keep house in order. A boy can
learn to make things ship-shape in
his own room as well as in the cabin
of vessel.
The man of the house has suf-
ticient drain ON his energy at the
office. When he comes home there
should be a comfortable chair in a
cool corner of the house, new maya
zines or books from the library,
glass of lemonade for his immediate
comfort and a good dinner in pros
pect.
Only a woman with a systematic
attitude of mind can work out sue
cessfully the summer problem of
keeping her family comfortable, but
she who achieves it shall have her
reward in the serenity and harmony
of her surroundings.-M Milwaukee

CHANGES IN TATTOR-MADE
DRESSES

We are on the verge of a distinct
change of aspect at last. Tt will even
be apparent in tailor mades, the pos
session of all others, least likely to
be moved by the whims of La Mode.
Tailored skirts will be wider,
although the fact will not be made
aggressiVely patent, and they will
also be marked by an extreme sim
plicity, with a leaning toward one
side effects. The chief decorative
detail will be strapped or over
Tapped seams, fat killings also play
ing a part, chiefly concentrated at
the back
A case in point has front tab
1ier, ostensibly buttoned on to- these
pleats, while in another the skirt,
after forming a narrow, folded front
panel, is laid in fiat, shallow pleats
all round, these meeting at centre
back, and so suggesting an inverted
box pleat.

My Dear Mrs. Lee: I am con-
slant reader of The Jeff, and es-
pecially the Woman's Page, and
what l.. A. l.. writes. I think all of
us enjoy both these pages, and they
are really help
| wish we were not so backward,
or rather so Indifferent as to eX-
pressing our opinions and enjoy
ment of the page.
We all have something we could
write if we were not SO timid. | have
had several orders for fancy work;
I advertised through the page, and
I guess will have more now. The
weather is cooler, and fall clothes
are to be made.
Can any of the readers tell me
how to keep pigeons on my place? |
have nice house for them, but as
soon as they are large enough to
fly they go away and do not come
back. I've bought a number of the
young, and have made every effort
to keep them, but each time it's
failure.
Yours with best wishes to the
page. A. c. G.

lightfuI lot of personal experience.
