Most Elaborate and Expensive ls
That In Use In Partisan
establishments.

Table linen in Paris today is Of tina
most elaborate and expensive descrip-
ton. Teacloths are made almost en-.
tirely of lace composed of squares
with insertions of finest embroidery,
and serviettes and napkins must also
match the cloth. Another expensive
habit is to have all the crystals in
colored Bohemian cut glass to match
the hue of the hostess afternoon
toilet.
At a recent reception given by q
society leader harmony of color was
very successfully carried out. Plates,
glasses and decanters were of pink
cut crystal, while the lady of the house
wore a teagown of rosecolored nous.

also preserved in the flowers on the
table, and long-stemmed pink ros0a
were everywhere about the room.
A wealthy host the other day, &C

crate sea fantasy" built up as a ia

For the Younq Girls Eye.

There is nothing more beautiful
than simplicity of character. 1t is
honest, frank and attractive. How
different is affection! The simple
minded are always natural; they are
1t the same time original. The af-
fected are never natural. AS for orig
lnality, II they ever had 1t, they have
crushed it out and buried it from sight
utterly. Be yourself. To attempt to
be anybody else is worse than folly.
1t is impossible to attain It. A genu-
Inc cent is worth more than counter
felt dollar, and the smallest person
who is real, is worth more than the
biggest fraud in existence. Let the
fabric of your character, though ever
W humble. be at least real.

Leaf blight is the most common Of

brown, generally circular spots, which
increase in size and finally coalesce,
resulting in complete whiting and
curling of the leaves.
The spots commonly show fine and
rather indistinct concentric markings
such as are found in the common
alternaria blight of the potato. The
leaf stalks and vines are so affected.
The blight is caused by a fungus
which may at least be checked by
spraying with bordeaux.
The first application should be made
when the vines are from IL to II

EDUCATE AGAINST sgLFIsHNEss.

EDUCATE AGAINST sELFIsHNEss.
Recently addressing a body of New
England students, Richard Olney, sec
rotary of state under President Cleve-
land. urged them to the duty OF LIB
originating interests of their respective
future crafts to the highest claims OF
way of saying, that In educating our
young people we should teach them
first the art Of living. and second. what
ever. art by which they are to live; that
Is, that living comes before getting a
livelihood. The claims Of citizenship
are above those of any trade or profess
sion. Our schools that go In for the
vocational training. eminently good in
itself, need TO look out lest they lay
the chief stress upon the matter Of
getting hold Of technical knowledge as
the means Of making a living. The
schools, none Of them, are teaching too
much about how 10 become good and
worthy citizens, how to make dyna'
mic men and women out of ordinary
boys and girls. There is the place for
the stress. That, we think. is what Mr..
Olney had In mind when he urged
those students to sink selfish plans
for immediate aggrandlzement in the
larger purpose of doing good and be-
ing good for their country, says the
Omaha Bee. For as sure as they do
they will have no difficulty in picking
up a livelihood somewhere So II our
curriculums could be made to teach
and throw their weight against selfish
ness In education our educational sys-
tenn would be improved right here.

What's the Matter

Tie following is a true statemen Of

the beginning of the spring of 1912 as
published in the Aberdeen News:
South Dakota newspapers, In var
ious sections of the state, are begin
ming to print items telling of the arriv-
al Of homeseekers from other states.
The items are a good indication Of a
good year for South Dakota. The state
is just emerging from a long and Sc
we're winter. Und dly, many Of
the homesteaders in the newly settled
portions of the state had to undergo
hardships and endure discomforts that
were most unpl easant, but not unusual
to pioneers in new country.
Unfortunately for the state, resi-
dents Of other portions Of the country,
sliced upon these facts to disparage
South Dakota and laud other sections,
in some instances unthinkably, but in
others with deliberate intention of
Turing hcmeseekers from South Da.

favored Unfortunately for the de-
signs of those evil-disposed persons,
the weather man has interfered with
their plans, and given some Of the
sections most widely ad vertised wealth
er much more severe in Its conse-
quences to man and beast and crops,
than anything ever undergone in this
state.
ss AS a consequence, home seekers are
turning their eyes South Dakotaward
this year as never before, and the tide
of immigration is setting In in this
direction very strong ely. The abundant
snows Of the winter season almost
certainly assure an abundance Of
moisture during the crop.growing sea

1912 could not well be better, at this
period Of the year than they are at
