SMART TIES AND STOCKS
Woman With Clever Fingers Can Turn Out Numerous Home Made
 Articles of NeokWear.

The woman with clever fingers can turn out for herself numerous smart ties and stocks If she is keen enough to copy the shop ones.
 Fashion jabots from handkerchief linen or fine lawn cut into oval, round or oblong tabs that reach to the bust line or half way above it. Finish the edge with narrow buttonhole stitch, in small scallops all around or in straight buttonholing on the sides and three deep scallops on bottom.
 In center put medallion of lace with material cut away beneath, and around it embroider row or two of pin dots or small eyelets to form 8 frame. Newer are the medallions made with center of punchwork, with a design embroidered or outlined around it.
 These tabs are most serviceable in all white-using fine mercerized cot ton-but are pretty in color which is repeated in the collar, belt and stock ings. AS they are not plaited, launder- ing is simplified.
 Another smart tie to be worR with a turned down or Dutch collar is made from a straight piece of heavy linen three inches long and one inch wide. Round the ends scoop out sides slight ly and finish with straighs, edge of hut. tonholing.
 Make long eyelets about half an inch of center and through them run velvet ribbon to. match embr9idery. The ends of the ribbon rroie6 be yond the ends of the linen. If desired Q small design in eyelet or solid nm, broidery can be worked in each of the rounded ends midway between eyeiet and edge.

Cleveland, Ohio, June 1o.-In dis cussing the subject of rhythm ill play. and for the promotion of folk dancing as form of public recrea- ton, as proposed by Joseph Lee, of Boston, in an address before the Nat ional Conference of Charities and Correction here this evening, Frank l.. Boyden, of Deerfield, Mass, sug- gested that the country high school is a natural social center and should be developed as such to look out for the physical. social and moral welfare of all the young people of the commun ity. as well as for their intellectual development.

now blocked with smaller head sizes than for the past two or three sea- sons. Models in which the lines are simple are sometimes faced and at oti:er times finished with a flange of velvet. But the majority of these hats use nothing in their composition but the shape and the trimming, and need nothing more.
 Among the novelties that have been most successful are those shapes in which the brim is double That is the under brim or facing is made of the braid and is simply continuation of the upper brim. This gives a soft round edge which is vastly becoming Big, up-standing clusters of Paradise feathers, some times mounted with an ornament, are often used on these hats. Paradise in fact divides honors with ostrich while heron disappears from the world of millinery.
 The black picture hat is for her who may have more than one chapean for dress. Notwithstanding that it is black, it is conspicuous and in the new shapes, intended to be little dar- ing. is not for all occasions and it remains the queen of hats.

Each one is designed for some special type of face and every one may find a becoming model if she tries long enough.

years of age, who has been convicted of the murder under peculiarly atro- eious circumstances, of a woman of 63. She was living with her mother, who is paralyzod. The crime was | committed on January 13, on the ev- ching of which day the Woodranger proceeded to the cottage. The door had hardly opened when he sprang on his victim, threw her down, and finally battered her head with a heavy club until she was dead. The shocking scene was actually witness ed by her mother, who was lying paralyzed in bed. The murderer then returned quietly to his abode, where he washed his uniform, which was stained with blood, and on the fol- lowing day he attended dejuener which was given by some friends, do- ing ample justice to the viands.
 Suspician at last fell on Dalivoust, who, when arrested, declared that he had yielded to an impulse against which he had struggled. He was eX- amined by a medical expert, who re- sponsible for his acts, but as being, all the same, inclined to halluci- nations. His mother had been a drunkard, and had twice attempted suicide, and a first cousin was ill a lunatic asylum. When interrogated at the trial by the presiding judge, the Woodranger, who since his arrest, has manifested the utmost penitence, said that his mind has been un- He had been haunted by the desire to commit the crime, though, to say, his victim was the person in the village with whom he was least ac quainted, but he had not intended to kill her. Dalivoust did not utter word when the sentence of death was passed on him, the jury having pro- nounced him guilty without eXten uating circumstances; but it is thought that a petition will be drawn up with view to a communication of the penalty.
 X Divorce Tangle.
 An American divorce case ill Paris has disclosed a curious point of law. An American lady brought suit for divorce against her husband residing ill Paris. The husband, through coun- sel, pleaded that ill the first place the motive alleged would not be suf- ficient for divorce in his state (New York;, and, secondly, that French law could not apply to him,' a foreigner. The court, however, decided that as both parties had been residing in France for a long period, something like twenty years, they had their real domicile here, and could no longer be supposed to have domicile in Ameri- ca. French law, therefore, could be applied to them, and as the cause all leged by the wife, namely, desertion and incompatibility of temper, were sufficient causes in French law, the divorce was granted at the request of the wife, and in her favor.

BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

With the coming of the New Year
+he United States government will en-
ser into new field of enterprise
The transmittal of merchandise by
what, is known as the parcel post.
FOR years there has been a demand
Tor such system of inexpensive
transmittal of packages. The camps
Of favor and disfavor of the parcel
post scheme have been about equally
divided. Finally at the last session
Of congress bill was passed which
will put the plan into operation, but
only 1t must be said in little more
than an experimental way.
It Is the intention of Uncle Sam to
move rather slowly in the parcel post
matter. He wants to find how popu-
lar it will be, how much it will cost
the government, and whether there is
60 be q profit or loss at the end of
each year. II It is found that the
plan is successful from the point of
view of the people. which means the
government also, the parcel post will
be extended until finally it reaches
the proportions which it's proponents
say they believe 1t is destined to as
sumo.
Zone System Explained
It Is no exaggeration to say that
thousands upon thousands of inquir-
les have been made Of the postmaster
general as to just what the parcel
post will mean to the people. It was
the law Of congress establishing the
system which made provision for
division Of the country into zones
and into 1000 units which are to be
used as centers in describing the cir
cles which mark the boundaries Of
the zones. There has been no clear
understanding, apparently, of this
zone system, but really 1t is a very
simple matter.
The accompanying map shows the
country divided into zones from the
unit in which Washington is sit
uated. az the center Accompanying
the map is table showing the rate
Of postage per pound for parcels from
Washington to places within all the
zones.
Each unit contains an area thirty
miles square. Now each unit is .
center from which the zones are
drawn and so every unit in the coun-
try no matter where 1t is situated will
have zones drawn from it just exactly
as Washington has them drawn from
1t. For instance, take Keokuk, Ia.
which is in q unit in the fifth zone.
From that Will be drawn circles ex-
actly a. they are drawn from Wash
ington and they will be numbered from
Keokuk as number one, Just as they
are numbered from Washington az
number one. OF course, however.
Zone Six will have a different geo
graphical position as related to Keo-
kuk than 1t has as related to Wash
tngton, but as the radius OF the circles
drawn from Keokuk is the same
length as the radius Of the circles
drawn from Washington, Keokuk's
Zone Six will be just AZ far from its
center as Washington's Zone Six 10.
How Rates Are Fixed.
It can be seen from this readily
enough that the postal rates from
Washington to tn particuiar zone win
be the same as the postal rates from
Keokuk TO its particular sonea Each
unit being about thirty miles square
will Of course contain In most cases q
number Of postomces. but each ONCE
In the same unit il considered as be-
ing the center Of the circles from

er single package to be carried and
should charge in proportion just what
1t does now for one package Of IL
pounds weight.
Every postmaster in the United
States will have a parcel post map
like the one which is here reproduced
except that the zone lines will be
shown with the unit Of his postoffice
as a center. All that a postmaster
will have to do when parcel is pre-
sented for transportation is to find
out in what zone the destination of
the package lies. His table will show
him instantly the rate per pound from
the unit in which his postof1ce lies
to the zone of the packages destina-
tons. the price as has been explained
before, to every postofice in any one
zone being the same. The parcel post
will take nothing but fourth-class mat
ter. Printed matter is still in the
third-class designation. Therefore
books cannot be sent by the parcel
post system. This the postoff1ce au-
thorities seem to think is in way
unjust and may work hardship. 1t
may be that in the future the law will
be changed so as to include all print
ed matter. It seems to be certain that
an attempt will be made to bring
about this change as speedily as pos
sible.
Must Bee: Stamp.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
ordered that postmasters be advised
that parcel-post packages cannot be
accepted for mailing unless they bear
a distinctive parcel post stamp and
have attached to them the return card
Of the sender. A series of distinctive
stamps Is now In course of prepare
ton for this class of mail as required
by the law creating the parcel post
system. Consignments of these
stamps will be ready for shipment to
all postofices in ample time for the
establishment Of the new system on
New Years day.
The postofflce department has given
instruction to every postmaster in the
country to enlighten his patrons as
much az possible on the general sub
ject Of the parcel post and especially
on the use of the special stamps and
the necessary attachment Of the re-
turn card. The law requires that all
fourth-class matter mailed a.ier Jam
uary /. 1918, without parcel post
stamps attached shall be treated as
HELD for postage" matter. Parcel
post packages win be mailable only
Ut pcstonhces, branch postomces. let
tered and local named stations, and
such numbered stations % may be
designated by the postmasters. 3
Il has been announced by Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock that nearly TO-
900 scales win be required for use in
the parcel post system which Is to go
into effect January LIST. He has &C
eordfngly authorized the issuance Of
bids for that number. Two hundred
OF the largest postonices and their
branches win be supplied with auto
matic springless scales. The next
class Of Offices. numbering about TO-
900. will be given high grade beam
oaale. while the four class Offices,
uunbering about $4,000. vim be fur
7ished with the best spring balances
obtainable. each having . capacity for
twenty pounds. These scales will be
used BY. postmasters to determine the
amount Of postage required on parcel

Woman s Ruling Passion Is

Such spectacles make us marvel
at the illogic of women, and say
that man has small encourage
ment to go straight, or to work his
fingers to the bone supporting a
wife. if he expects her to love him
in proportion for what he is, or
does for her The answer is that
love isn't mater of volition. and
the man who gives his wife sympa
thy and tenderness sometimes gives
her more than he who gives his
wife sealskins and diamonds.
Another reason why black sheep
have a fascination for women is
because the ruling passion with the

a consuming desire to make them
