AN UNUSUALLY
LARGE NUMBER
DIVORCE SUITS
MANY APPLICATIONS FOR d.
NoRcEs HAVE BEEN FILED
WITH THE CLERK OF CIRCUIT
COURT DURING PAST WEEK.

What causes II has not been figured
out, but 1t is an interesting fact that
an unusually large number of divorce
suits have been filed IN the Office of
the clerk of the circuit court during
the past week.
Those filing suits for divorce are
about equally divided as to color,
there being a large number of both
white people and negroes who have
tired Of living together and who have
made application to have the ties
which bind them cut asunder.

that during the past week the largest

SCRAP BAG FOR SEWING MA.
CHINE is CONVENIENCE.

The woman who uses a sewing ma
chine will do well to make herself
good-sized bag that can be attached to
the side frame of the machine and
used to collect all scraps and bits OF
thread left from the sewing.
Select an embroidery hoop eight
inches in diameter and cretonne six
teen inches long and fourteen inches
wide. Sew the ends and one side to.
gether and turn the edge OF the other
side over the hoop and run gathering
thread in the hem thus formed. When
finished draw up the thread tho size
of the hoop and catch it tight. This
will make a bag that Is gathered onto
the hoop and is amply full in body to
hold goodly number of scraps before
it is necessary to empty.
Another sewing help is to have q
pattern bag hung back of the machine.
Make inside pockets to this bag in
which you can keep the patterns be-
longing to the different members of the
family. Have also two extra pockets
that hold patterns Of fancy aprons,
bags, or dress accessories.
A deal of time and strength can be
saved in the hunting of patterns and
picking the bits of the floor If your
machine is equipped with these two
handy bags.

God to bless that thing and task;

Showing faith In self renowned.

Something strives for those who turn
Soon and late''-at trade Of life,
Aiming higher in the strife.
Nothing strives at once Of WORTH

Patient striving all have done,
Teeming with victory won.

THE WISDOM OF YOUTH.

She has only turned eighteen.
Not tear her cheek has stained.
BY no sad and tragic scene
Has her happy heart been panied.
But she'll tell you what to do
In the heat and din Of strife
Just as though she really knew
All there is to know Of life.
She has studied Greek and French,
She has read philosophy,
But her heart has known no wrench
Due to grief or misery.
So she laughs our woes away,
And she tells us what to do
With our troubles every day
Just as though she really knew.
She has only turned eighteen.
She has merely slipped the sweet
or LIES nectar and has been
Where the clover kissed her feet,
And so we Of wrinkled brow
And OF battered heart just smile
When our daughter tells us how
To be happy all the while.
And we pray from day to day
That she'll never know the rough
OF LIES sometimes troubled way
Or complain Of Its rebuff,
And we pray she'll never meet
With the heartache OF the strife.
In the sunshine and the sweet
May she read her book Of life.

that we pay 25 per cent. more for them

LITTLE INTO FASH
ION LAND.

One has to keep q watchful eye on
sleeves. What will happen to them
eventually is not known, but for the
present they are certainly up to" all
sorts OF tricks. Who in the world
is to say what Is or IL not the fash
ionable sleeve when in its simplest
form the arm energies from the wide
armhole OF sleeveless komono and
in its most elaborate 1t reaches from
shoulder to wrist, with many compn'
cations Of drapery, cut and trimming
to be met With enroute?
Although at all times the sleeve
has it's Importance. quite an unusual
amount Of ingenuity seems to have
been expended upon 1t this season.
The novelty that comes to US Is the
long sleeve in it's many forms, OF
which the simplest and most attrac'
tive ends in a full of lace at the wrist,
is loose enough for comfort and some
what wrinkled over the arm. At the
top it is narrow, being inset after an
old English fashion into a kimono
bodice.
Rarely do we see seam on the
shoulder. Often 1t is not there at all,
but when 1t is-and comfort and con.
venience may demand it-one finds
that 1t is concealed by a deep collar
or by some form OF trimming. In
very wide materials the new long
sleeve is actually cut en- kimono, and

er; but sometimes, OF course. the
seamless effect is only on the surface.
and the sleeve is either cut out un-
der the arm or a gore is inserted.
The one style OF sleeve that has
not appealed either to dressmakers
or tailors up to date Is the three
quarter length. which some claim to
be the most becoming Of all. It
does not, like the elbow length, ex-
pose the worst defects Of the arm.
and when it Is frilled even wrist
slim to skinniness energies scath-
less from the ordeal. On the whole,
this is preferable to a newer notion
which stops the sleeve little above
the wrist, just as though the material
had suddenly run short
There are some pretty sleeves of
elbow length. A tailor made coat of
taffetas has a loosely fitting elbow
sleeve turned back with a facing to
match the collar. which, by the way,
falls over the shoulder and so incl
dentally keeps up the kimono effect.
A wrinkled elbow sleeve Is pretty for
blouse or house gown with a con-
trasted facing and frill of chiffon of
lace.
AS a rule evening sleeves are short.
and sometimes, as in the case Of the
kimono effect already referred to,
they are altogether conspicuously alb
sent. Occasionally they assume the
form of fiat frill set into a Magyar
bodice, and very often the sleeve is
entirely concealed by the falling over
of deep collar or berthe of lace or
embroidery or the arm is revealed un-
der the soft drapery of some graceful
fichu like arrangement of net or chif-
fon.

Earth and heaven bewailing,
The light at MONDAY falling,
The sea, which sparkled cheerily,
Rolling it's dark waves drearily:
1t was an hour Of dread
When the Savior said,
Ell, Ell! from the tree,
Lord. yield my soul to Thee"
It was an hour Of grieving
To angels and 10 men;
A quick. convulsive heaving
Thro' Natures bosom ran,

The God who gave US breath
For US to die the death.

But not for words. nor tears. nor signs
