Annoyance That Sometimes
Mars the Occasion.

A girl who is looking for way out
Of the common to entertain some Of
her young friends will find a PRO
gressiye dinner party" a jolly affair.
There is nothing better for helping
along new acquaintances, and 1t also
works wonders In another way-in not
allowing old friends to talk too exclu-
sively with each other. Often the fun
Of small entertainment is spoiled
because one or two couples spend al
most the whole evening in talking to
each other, neglecting every one else.
The young hostess has not always ex-
perience enough to prevent this mis-
take gracefully.
The progressive dinner party is
managed as follows: Each young man
is told to take certain girl in to din
ner, as at any dinner party. The
places at table are shown by the
usual cards with names. During the
first course they sit in these places,
but as the plates are being changed
each young man takes the place of the
next one to the right (or lefD. This
Is repeated after each course, the
change being always in the same d.
rection. The girls do not move, SO
young men have an opportunity to
talk to each girl.

This is an increase of $16,6S947 over
the net earnings Of the year 1910. The
annual report Of the Knoxville water

completed, will go into details and will
show an increase in mileage of pipes,
In gallons of water pumped, in number

Sandals for Small Children.

II children wear sandals until they
are three or four years old, they will
have a natural-shaped foot, strong,
ankle muscles and will stand and walk
properly. We are all taught to point
the toes out when walking. This, how
ever, is an unnatural position. and
only adds greater strain on the IN
side muscles Of ankle and foot, caus-
ing. in many cases, weak ankles and
other foot troubles. Let the toes
point straight in front when standing
or walking. allow the feet to have
plenty OF room to grow, select broad,
hat-heeled shoes for your children,
and start them toward manhood on
womanhood with normal feet, strong
ankles, thus lessening the danger of
corns. bunions and all other foot trou-
bles.

mined by the individual conditions
mentioned. The various types of arc
lamps, being of much greater candle
power, naturally require much higher
posts, ranging from twenty feet for
the inclosed arc to forty feet or even
more for the flaming arc.
Exterior lighting, like interior light
ing, must be carried out with due con
sideration of the environment and the
chief purpose sought. A wholly salts
factory result can be obtained only
when all the conditions are carefully
considered and given due weight.
Modern illuminants have made posi-.
BILE degree of beauty and utility in
public lighting that was undreamed of
even half century ago. We are only
beginning to realize what this means
IN the development Of the city of the
twentieth century. The means of pro-
ducing light in unlimited quantities is
one of the few benefits bestowed upon
modern civilization by science that cam
not be perverted to evil purposes. 1t is
one of the few good things of which
there is no danger Of getting too much.

erly. These points are so well taken
care OF by artists in millinery that
even the simplest-seeming hats are
really amazingly well thought out and
adapted to their wearers.
The lines Of the Dutch bonnet, the
dear Wilhelmina have been managed
in all sorts of ways. A pretty adapta-
ton is shown here, having a crown
of purple violets and brim covered
with purple velvet. A similar hat, in
soft hemp, shows a decided point at
the front and small. rather pointed
crown, which would be insignificant
except for two ears of silk perched at
the front. The shape in navy blue
had a wide flange of velvet in the
same color and the loops, or ears,
were of taffeta silk, also in plain navy
blue Of a rather bright shade.
A hood of turcan laid over a cap
shape, covered with black silk, is also
an unusually clever development Of
simple lines and handsome materials.
The rolled-up brim is covered with
two folds Of black satin and a bow OF
ribbon in black satin finishes band
which apparently holds the point Of
the hood in place at the back.
The liking for quaint shirrings,
quillings and ruchings came in with
the return of fabrics with which they
were used almost a half century ago.
A shirred band Of changeable taffeta
finishes the soft straw bonnet shape
shOwn here Two rOsettes of the taf-
feta look like big, full-blown roses;
they are placed at each side Of the
brim. A short broad plume, in the
colorings of the silk, finishes the hat.
The hats shown in the illustrations
are very practical models. Although
each hat, 1t must be conceded, is chic
Ito the French degree) yet each is
simplicity itself.

Debt Reduced,

During the past year the debt on the
city water and light plant in Gas City,
Ind, has been reduced to the amount
Of $500; that is, this amount has
been paid on the debt. 1t has been a
few days more than one year since the
water and light plant in Gas City was
destroyed by fire. In the time elapsed
since then the plant has been rebuilt
and has been placed in successful
operation, and $500 of the debt paid.
That all this has been done is con-
sidered an excellent achievement

Dainty Carriers,

The curious fancy for mingling
black with the adornment of lingerie
and other more personal articles is
finally manifested in pair of gar
ters.
On the shirred black band that
forms the solid part Of the garter are
sprinkled silk roses in pastel shades;
the same flowers ornament the lace
rosettes. from which dangle smaller
roses on ribbon ends. The lace frill-

THE WOMEN or PRAGUE

THE WOMEN OF PRAGUE.
II you have ever been In the city O,
Prague you will have seen the women
OF that city doing much of the rough
work that usually is done by men.
In bohemia women mix mortar.
They carry hods up long ladders.
They shovel sand and coal.
The spectacle is new and unusual e
American eyes, and the tourist is AMI
to pity the lot OF these hardworkine
women The toll is arduous, and to us
1t is unseemly.
And yet
A lot OF American women are as de-.
serving of sympathy.
The women OF Prague get 80 to 40
cents day. How do they keep soul
and body together? In most instances
the husbands labor and also the chill
dren.
What of our sweatshop women who
get paltry cents a dozen for max
ing overalis: The Prague women work
about eight hours a day, while our
sweatshop slaves toll far into the hours
Of the night
Besides. the Bohemian women work
in the open air. They are strong and
lusty. When you note how easily they
do their tasks. laughing and chatting.
you feel that your pity is wasted. The
sweatshop workers live In cheap and
filthy tenements where the air is foul
and the surroundings noisome and in
sanitary.
Or
Compare the women of Prague with
the wives of some Of our own day la
borers.
Forty cents a day is $40 a week,
which seems a pitiful sum for the la
Dor Of woman for a week. But
How many wives OF workingmen in
this country get that much money per
week for their household labors. their
child bearing, their scrimping econo-
mies-the most trying and nerve rack
ing Of all employments?
Or
Compare the pay and hours Of labor
of the Bohemian women with the re-
muneration of the average busy wife
and mother. Does she get an hour of
rest at noon7 Does she quit her days
labor at o'clock7
Some such wives and mothers get
pin money" but thousands do not re-
ceive so much as S2.40 per week for
their exhausting labors and nervous
strain.
The rough employments OF the
Prague women seem to us unealied for.
If not cruel 1t is true. nevertheless,
that by comparison of hours and pay
many American women do more and
receive less
