The purpose of the direct primary
is to get an expression from the peo-
pie, but in half the instances where
the plan has been tried the results
have been questioned and set at
naught by one or the other of the
political leaders. The people either
know their own mind or they do not
know it. Which will the leaders have
us believe? TO talk for a preferen-
mea ning is to talk double.

Tribute TO woman's Greatness


Let us pay a tribute of admiration
to the woman without an Easter hat.

Pirate to winter or goes bravely forth
in hat covered with the flowers that
have bloomed in springs whose other
blossoms are long' since dead. After
all, the little things test the real
greatness of a human soul more Sc
Verely than the big ones. There is
something about a great crisis which
brings its own stimulus with it. 1t
requires finer courage TO wear an
unreasonable hat than it does to re-
main cool and cheerful in the face
of severe illness or sudden loss. I'm
der every questionable and shabby
hat there is concealed a story of loss,
of disappointment or of unselish de-

The back-to-the-f farm movement
will always grow in popularity as it
is made easier to the farm and from
farm to farm. Good roads will solve
this problem and rescue the man on
the farm from the isolation that has
always been a drawback. With good
roads and the automobile the social
life of the farm is not only made toll

FOR EARLY FALL OUTINGS
White Felt Hat Is One of the Necessi.
!, ties In Wardrobe Of the
Smart Woman.

Have white felt hat for early au-
tumn outings IL you wish to prove to
the hoi polloi that you know what's
what in the great world Of fashion.
One of the smartest shapes is the high
and square-crowned sailor with a fiat
brim Of nearly an inch on the upper
side. There is another sailor-so
called-although it has sombrero
crown which must be care1essly dent
ed. This has the familiar rolling
brim that is crushed against the crown
at front, back or one side, and never
is set quite squarely upon the head.
Truth to say, it's bit rowdyish I'M
less trimmed, as it should be, with a
broad band of silk or velvet ribbon
ending under a double pump bow.
Lastly, there is the hat of softest felt
with brim very narrow all around,
save along the left side, where 1t rolls
boldly against a high rounding crown
that is banded with an inch-wide
length of corded ribbon going twice
around and ending with true lovers
knot. This ribbon is dull green, red,
gray, mauve anything save white.
and it's hue is repeated in the tie
which fastens the white cotton, or fan
mel outing shirt, and the border on
the handkerchief which peeps from
the breast pocket Of this shirt.

Little Bandboxes.

Pretty little boxes just the shape
Of the old round bonnet boxes are
made of white pasteboard and covered
with painted flowers in gay profu-

They are intended for button boxes
or for hooks and eyes; they will do
for pens or for stamps in the writing
desk.
Daintiness Is the first requisite, and
care In the making will bring that
desired result. With library paste the
box is first covered with white wa
ter color paper, just as the old wall
paper was glued upon the bonnet box.
After the cover is dry, gay bouquets
Of old-fashioned flowers are sketched
upon the surface and tinted with wa
ter color.
Through slit made in each side
of the box with q, penknife there is
run ribbon. to match the flowers,
and this Is tied up over the lid to
hold it in place.
Any little gift may be given to q

box to lend charm. MINIS to the de-
parting ocean traveller could not be
better wrapped than in this dainti'
est of boxes.

Vain. ~ PercaIe.

Not every woman appreciates the
qualities OF pure white percale for
summer gowns. This fabric is much
used by trained nurses for lightweight
uniforms which may be Numbered to
spic and spanness with much less
labor than linen requires. Percale is
also cooler than linen and is much
lighter in weight. It may be trimmed
with stitching and buttons in very
smart style. A young woman who al
ways looks as though she had stepped
out of bandbox always wears white
percale frocks in summer time. a
loose blouse with an open collar Is
trinity belted above short, straight
