THE PRESENT STYLES
IN CALLING CARDS
BY FLORENCE HOWE HALL.

the cardboard now in use is Of medium
thickness. The very thin cards. popula r
q little while ago.. had the advantage of
taking UP very little room in the card
case and Of weighing very little. But
they were too easily bent.
Old English type and block letters are
fashionable at the present moment
Script is now and always in good taste.
Many people prefer it because it is simple
and unostentatious and never goes out
of fashion.
Old English is by far the most expen-
sive style. in the beginning, as compli-
Gated letters take more time to engrave
than plain ones. Some stationers charge
three times as much for it as for script,
block type costing twice as much as the
last named The lettering should be of
medium size. neither very large nor very
small. Any singularity is disliked by
those who follow conventional rules.
The card of young single woman is
smaller than that of a married woman
and nearly square. Girls who are still
at school may omit the Miss" AS soon
as they graduate and prepare to assume
the duties Of grown persons they assume
1t. People who follow the English custom
engrave the name Of the daughter below
that of her mother and do not allow the
deDutante to have card Of her own dur
ing her first year in society. It is sup
posed that she will not pay formal visits
alone. But this effort to suppress. even
In theory, the independence Of the Ameri-
can girl, seems rather absurd.
1t is, or course. convenient and econom-
ical to use a single card for mother and
daughters When there are several they
may be described as 1.-The Misses Jones, u
or the eldest may call herself Miss
smith, the others giving their Christian
names. But If we are to be strict in

Sisters may have visiting card engraved
The Misses Smith,"
Nicknames have gone out Of fashion.
1t sometimes happens that q girl has
been christened "Mollie'' or Bessie" It
Is really misfortune to be. without a
serious name. Pet terms are all right in
the family circle or among intimate
friends, but no one wants to 60 through
life labeled like q doll or a lapdog. We
therefore advise girls who do not possess
suitable name to adopt one for ordinary
use For signing business papers the bap-
tismal name il the only legal one
A professional woman put her title
on her visiting card, as a man does. A
physician calls herself
Dr.. Florence Montgomery,
and minister,
Reverend Anna Thompson.
A business woman may find it con-
venient to have a business card in adj

former may be printed, the latter should
always be engraved. The address, ia

Reversible Hats.

Some hats have not only the facing in
straw OF contrasting color, but the
entire hat throughout is lined in a diff
ferent shade. This lining is finished just
as neatly as the exterior Of the hat, and
the shape is thus reversible
Exceedingly smart color combinations
are seen in these reversible models, which
come in all the styles that admit Of a
soft brin, and are generally made of
hemp. with hemp or tagal lining. Light
mauve and silver gray, king blue and
gold, primrose and putty, turquoise and
moss green, are only few of the many
blends. Black and white are also SEEN
The trimming may be as elaborate as one
desires, but it must be so arranged that it
is easily taken off the hat and easily re-
adjusted, and 1t must. of course, be se-
lected in colors to harmonic with both
sides of the hat.

DEFENSE TAKES
INSANITY PLEA
Defendant in Wibaux Murder
Trial Claims Mental De.
ra0gement

Special to The Tribune.
GlJEND1VE, Mont, April 13.-At
the conclusion of the tAird day of the
second trial of Max NJ. Leakey, ac-
cused of murder ~ the first degree
for the killing of Frank Nelson at WI
baux, two years ago, the defendant
having once been sentenced to hang
for this alleged crime, an elaborate
insanity defense was completed by the
submission Of a lengthy hypothetical
question to three we'll known physi-
clans, Drs. Andrews and Brown of
Miles City, and Dr.. AL. Hammered Of
this city, who qualified as alienists.
After listening to this question,
which summarized the previously Civ.
EN- evidence in the case. DR.. Andrus
declared that in his opinion Leakey
was insane at the time he shot Nelson,
he said Nelson had stolen his horse, as
a matter of fact Nelson wa only TAX
ing the horse to livery stable for
safe keeping.
The hypothetical question told Of
Leakey having been struck by a base
ball at Singer, CAL, when young man,
and later at Truckee, Cal., by SIX
shooter in the hands of the marshal,
the effects of these injuries together
with the existence of loathsome dis.
case of many years standing, and ex-
cessive drinking, are alleged by the
defense to have made Leakey mental.
ly irresponsible at times, one of
those times being when he shot Frank
Nelson to death. Assuming these al
legged incidents true, DR.. Andrus said
ne believed Leakey was subject to
epileptiform seizures of irregular oc-
currences. Some of these evidences
was barred out on previous trial and
became the basis of exception on
which the case was remanded by the
supreme court. This case will prob
ably go to the jury today.

Mr.. DIX'S AUTO Was
STOCK IN THE MUD
Farmer Refused TO Pull Il
Out TIL Assured Governor
Had Signed Bill

ALBANY, N. Y, April 12-When
Governor Dix was returning from
Thompson to Albany last night his
automobile got stuck in the mud just
outside Of roads that connects Colum-
bia street pavement in Cohoes with
the State road. The governor ap-
pealed to Peter Lahore, a farmer,
to assist him with a team of horses.
The farmer flatly refused the re-,
quest. When he was told that the
man in trouble was Governor Dix he
said:
II don't care. The governor had
chance to put this road in good con-
dition and he vetoed the bill which
would have done it."
The farmer was finally summoned
to the governors automobile where he
got IN offer of $25 for the service
of his team
"You had bill before you governor,
to fix this road and you did not
sign it, said the 4armer in justifica-
ton of his attitude.
"Why," said the governor, Il signed
that bill only last week. This road
will be benefited by the new law"
"You did, exclaimed the farmer.
"All right, I'll pull you out for moth
ing" And he did.

AS the county Gentlemen goes into
hundreds Of thousands Of homes thru
out the world this article by Mr.. Clark
will interest a great many readers.

quiries from outside sources have al
ready been received asking for further
information because of this article.
Under the heading Farmers making

Judd Northwest Farmstead under date
OF March %, makes some very interest
ing statements and shows that the per-
sistent work of the Botanical Depart
ment Of this institution upon the
method of proper handling of the flax
crop has taken hold Of the farming
public. The opening words of the
article reads, Farmers Of North d.
kota grew 19.O00,O00 bushels Of flax
last year in spite of the ravages of cut
woms. drouth, grass-hoppers and wilt.
Why? Because they are making flax

article: breeders of the wilt resis-
tant fax cannot supply the demand in
their immediate neighborhood," and
again: FLAX wilt is causing little
worry now becaus farmers are sure
that they can hold it in check by treat
ing with 'Formalin'' These statements
from the editor of this noted agricul-
tural paper are encouraging.
The Dakota Farmer under the date
of Feb. Is contains a carefully pre-
pared article by Prof. Bolley: "The
Need Of Specimen and Supply Cab
inets in Public Schools" This is a
topic which eventually must receive
more attention from the trustees Of
rural schools, so that teachers of ele.
mentary agriculture can collect and
store material to aid in teaching ele-
mentary agriculture. The teachers
come to the schools after frosts and
and leave before the plants come in
the spring. Quite commonly there is
a new teacher every year. They are
hardly to be blamed If they do not
find equipment and supplies properly
fitted to Immediately commence to
carry out instruction in elementary
agriculture and nature study.

that felt want is being satisfied,
Supt. G.. c. Schmidt, who directs the
work Of helping university graduates
to teaching positions has had this
spring over one hundred requests for
teachers of all grades and more than
half CT them are for high school posi-

as principals and superintendent for
whom there is no one to recommend
and the demand for high school teach
ers who can take charge of domestic
science. manual training, elementary
agriculture, commercial branches and
general science courses in addition to
their work far exceeds the demand.
From this years class at the university
there will be some fifty or sixty gradu-
ates who expect to 60 into teaching

DR.. JOHNS FOR THE SENATE

Hettinger Record: DR.. John G.
Johns in this issue announces his
candidacy for the office of state sena-

agreement was made between the re-

Icounties whereby Hettinger county
was to be allowed to name the senator
for the first term and Adams county
the two house members, with the un-
derstanding that the order should be
changed about at the election next
following. Under this arrangement
Adams county is this year entitled to
the senator and Hettinger county the
two representatives. DR.. Johns has
accordingly thrown his hat into the
ring and expects to keep it there un-
