Prohibition in Georgia

AS was forecast, Governor Brown
vetoed theTippins bill, and il is there
fore dead. The Governor had good
and sufficient reasons to himself for
his action; but his reasons by no
means coincide with the views of the
vast majority of the citizens of the
State. But be that as it may, the bill
is dead.
The prohibition law, however, is
still in force. That law has been a
great blessing to the state, and
greater blessing still to thousands of
Observation-Disclosures who were
addicted to the habit of strong drink
and the members of their families.
Even now some say that the present
prohibition law is a failure. But such
a statement is far from the truth.
There is no comparison between the

amount expended for liquor now and
before prohibition went into effect.
Nor is there any comparison between
the percentage of drunkenness now
and then. Our appeal, and that of
every good citizen in the state, is that
the present law be rigidly enforced.
1t is confessed weakness 20 say that
the law cannot be enforced 1t can
be enforced as successfully as any
other law. All that is needed is CO.
operation between the citizens and the
officers of the law. Thus, and only
thus, can any law be enforced 1t
would have been a great joy to many
hearts to have wiped out near beer
and all its like: but it is far better to
have near beer than to have the sa-
loon. We, therefore, should rejoice
in what we have, and cooperate to

A Boys Prayer

Give me clean hands, clean words and
clean thoughts;
Help me to stand for the hard fight
against the easy wrong;
Save me from habits that harm;
Teach me to work as hard and play
as fair in Thy sight alone as if all
the world saw;
Forgive me when | am unkind; and
help me to forgive those who are
unkind to me;
Keep me ready to help others at some
cost to myself;
Send me chances to do a little good
every day, and so grow more like.

The Breakfast Hour.

At this time of year. when the mornings
are SO plea SAINT. there always comes an
attempt to revive the old habit of enter
tanning at breakfast The custom has d
great deal to recommend il. and those
who get breakfast Invita-. ens are in
clined to remember the words Macaulay
once wrote to Mrs. Stowe: You invite a
man to dinner because you must invite
him: because you are acquainted with his
grandfather. or it is proper you should
but you invite man TO breakfast be
cause YOU want to see him. You may be
sure if you are invited 10 breakfast there
is something agreeable about you.
But a breakfast that would have de-
lighted Macaulay is for spacious and in
dolent days. There is the pleasant walk
with the whet of fresh air. Seated at Ia
BILE. there is no thought of clock. \
clock in any dining room is as ineon-
gruous a. a hymn book in a billiard sa-
loon. There is delicious dawdling- There
should not be any reading of newspapers
until after the breakfast.
But breakfast. alas. Is now to the COM
planning millions of men a hasty. uncere-
monious meal, too often accompanied by
domestic scenes. bitter reflections on the
cook and the wife'S management. nagging
of children and departure in whirl-
wind of rage. Happier are they, though
they may be misguided. who look on
breakfast as inconsequential. and are con-
tent with crust. a raw apple and
glass of water.

Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

The chief concern regarding frocks that
are of such materials as the popular
marquisette and batiste is how to invest
them with the requisite amount of fullness
at the top without increasing the number
of inches fashion has decreed for the
hem. The problem is solved in various
interesting ways. one of which is demon
strated in the model sketched.
The original is of white marquisette.
made. for convenience, on a foundation
of wash blond, which is properly fitted.
with the fullness taken in in darts. Then
the marquisette is gathered at the waist
line. which is slightly raised, and at knee
depth is scalloped all round and bound
with emerald taffeta. At this point the
tunic is met and the length completed by
a series of three ruff1es, each scalloped
and trimmed with an inch-wide shirred
band of marauisette, inclosed by the
green silk cording.
The banding with it's hint of green,
encircles the waist as a belt. \ scroll
design formed of il finishes the short
cut-in-One sleeve, and decorates the lower
part of the blouse. while the rather deep
ly N-shaped neck is outlined with dou-
BILE ruffles of white chiffon and bit of
the ruffiing runs up the slashed sleeves.
Although the shirred landings were
rushed a great deal during the first of
the season. they Seem neither to have lost
anything Of their popularity nor to have
become common. They still figure i'm the
most exclusive new frocks and may be
counted upon through the fall. new
use for them is found in connection with
panniers. For instance, banding per-
haps two inches wide. is shaped around
the pannier where it finishes below the
hips. or a longer band of the same ma
terial is stretched across the back, hold
ing up the pannier drapery. The ends of
the band are gracefully curved. terminal
ing in scroll points
Some of the white marquisettes, en-
broidered in detached flowers, are made
up with taffeta landings lnclosed in mar
quisette cords. or the landings are all Of
the taffeta in some bright color
An original and effective model that is
equally suited to marquisette or foulard

design Is carried out in white marquisette

FAME AND NOTORIETY.
By Ruth Cameron.

There is in human nature a general
inclination to make people stare. and
every wise man has himself to cure of It,
and does cure himself. If you wish to
make people stare by being better than
others why make them stare until they
stare their eyes out. But consider how
easy 1t is to make people stare by being
absurd. l may do it by going into din
ing room without my shoes. Samuel
Johnson.
That it should be considered desirable
thing to draw all eyes to ones self be-
cause ones appearance conduct is such
as to excite admiration seems perfectly
natural.
But that 1t should be considered desir-
able to draw all eyes to ones self because
ones appearance or conduct is SO ridlcu-
lous, so improper or SO conspicuous as to
force attention without the least admira-
ton seems absurd.
And yet a great many men and wom-
en-especially the latter-seem to confuse
these two kinds of attention.
AT summer resort where I once visit
ed, one young woman was always in evil
dence because of her noisy conversation
and her eccentric actions. Wherever she
went. people stared at her, and instead
of realizing that she was making ridicu-
lous show of herself, she was evidently
delighted by the attention she received.
One day when she happened to be OF our
party on shopping tour in the village
two or three of the tradespeople recog-
nized her and called her by name. You
see.'' she said, laughingly and yet with
evident pride, how famous / ann.
That is the trouble with all the foolish
people who try to attract attention by
their eccentric clothes and manners, they
forget that fame and notoriety are total
~ different things.
Perhaps some of my feminine readers
resented my saying that women are more
prone to try to attract attention at any
cost than men. But | really think they
are. Men are rather afraid of being stared
at. They are more conservative than
women.
And let the woman who likes attention
remember this, if she wants to keep ner
masculine friends, that while a man is
willing to have the woman he is with at
tract attention because of her beauty or
her beautiful clothes, he doesn't like her
to be stared at because of any eccentric
ity or loudness in clothes or manner
The women who draw attention to them
selves in such ways the average man will
sedulously avoid.
Now, surely that ought to reach some
hearts that are deaf to all other argu-
mentS.

OF course. Billy Mink had felt very

The Summer Scents
Preserved for Winter
BY ELIZABETH LEE.

Now is the time to gather the natural
grasses for winter decoration and the
fragrant wild flowers to be made into
sweet smelling sachets for the bureau
drawers
If the grasses are allowed to grow too
ripe the foliage becomes brittle and quick
ly drops. So the younger grasses should
be gathered in preference to the ripper
ones, though the latter are much fuller
and fluffier.
If the grasses are to be dyed it is OBJ
vious young, vigorous heads must be
chosen.
The natural grasses are, however, the
more artistic, and when arranged in tall
glasses may be a pleasant reminder in
the winter of a happy summer vacation
They require no special care beyond keep
ing them free from dust.
Sweet clover blossoms make delight
full filling for bags to be placed among
the house and personal linen, or they
can be used in the same way as sachet
powder.
The entire stalks are gathered and then
stripped, discarding the tough stems.
Quantities Of the blossoms are neces-
sary because they shrink so in drying,
and what seems to be huge pile when
freshly gathered will shrink to a hand
full when dried.
Leaves and blossoms are exposed to
pending upon the number of sunshiny
days. When quite dry the leaves will
break and powder. The clover is then
ready for the cases Loosely woven ma
teriaIs like cotton wolfe, swiss and cheese
cloth are better for bags than silks or
closely woven cottons, because the fraS-
rance from clover is only very faint,
SO should be allowed means of escape.
These bags may be scattered among
clothing or placed upon the shelves Of
the wardrobe.
If it is desired to line bureau drawers
then pads of very thin cotton should be
cut to fit them. The clover blossoms are
very thickly scattered over this and the
ted swiss a cotton marquisette. A sim
pie bag is fashioned. The clover covered
batting is slipped in and the end sewn up.
The seeds of the milkweed make soft,
silky filings for small pillows. while
every one knows the merits of the pine
pillow.
One is fortunate if the vacation is spent
