;.-----ar rule or two in regard to let
ters We have nearly one hundred
letters from Cousins, waiting to
appear in print" and some of them
have been waiting since the Christ
mas holidays.
Beginning with the first issue Of
"The Jeff" in April, we will cut down
the larger number of history Dues
tions, permitting each Cousin to ask
only two. In this way, we will be
able to get in more of the letters
each week, and I hope the letters
will have other items of interest.
Now that the girls have been
attended to in the matter of sugges-
lions for their school-closing dress, it
may be the boys feel sighted and
regard their "dress-up clothes" of as
much Importance as the girls.
But-who ever heard Of the bride
groom at wedding having his
clothes described? Of course, he
worried just as much about his suit
and the hang OF his coat, the fit Of his
tie and the shape Of his hat, as the
bride did about all her fnery. Only,
the bridegroom doesn't show the
worry and one suit of mems clothes
looks very much like another, which
is a great pity, sometimes.
What I want to say to the boys, is
this: You have the advantage of
the girls, in the matter of dress, but
when some of you "break OUT with
the new-clothes mania, you do it as
violently as some children do with
the measles, and the combinations Of
cOlOrs are sometimes as startling as
the measle rash.
In fashions for boys and girls,
there are always novelties which,
run to the eXtreme-sometimes Dor
dering on the ridiculous. Some
years ago | was in New York city,
when a fashion in mems caps had set
in: these caps wore about tha size of
q half-orange skin and it was mar
vel to me how the men kept them on
their heads, unless they were glued
on.
Later on, came the fashion of
turning up the bottoms of trousers,
and if some men and boys, to whom
Nature had been generous in the
matter of feet, could have seen them
selves as others saw them, they
would not have cared for that special
"style."
Good taste, in the matter of clothes
means first, perfect cleanliness
clean clothes, we'll brushed and
pressed, will always pass muster any
where.
Nicely BACKED shoes, and hosiery
of dark colors, preferably black,
though, with clean collar and cuffs,
a tie of a solid bright coloring, will
always make man or boy able to take
his place in any gathering, as we'll
appearing as the one gotten up in
elaborate style.
And I hope the boys of the Post
Card Club will realize I have written
this simply to show them | am as
keenly interested in their looks, as
in those of the girls.
Affectionately,
AUNT ADDY.

SECOND LIST OF

That the residents OF Rock Island
are very much interested in the slo-
gan contest, is evidenced by the num-
Der of suggestions mailed in TO the

Saturday of the extension of time. At
noon today the list of possibilities had
climbed from the three which were re-
tanned by the committee to 112, 100 of
these having been received since Sat
urday night. 1t begins to look as
though there will be as many slogans
to consider when the committee meets
again as it faced last Friday morning.

sleeve, better send it in at once.

night to Tuesday noon will be publish

All Ready to Serve.

When the new panel of jurors re-
ported for duty in the circuit court
this afternoon, all the time worn rules
and precedents were thrown to the
winds. Il is usually the custom for
the yeniremen to put up a pathetic
plea TO be excused on the ground that
the children must have bread and that
great financial reyerses will follow in
the wake of term of jury service, bur
this afternoon positions on the peers
body were like priceless treasures.
and only two men asked 20 be excused,
the rest battling for positions.

SHOULD RIDE IN AUTOS.

There are enough automobiles in
Rock Island TO carry dozen times as
many veterans as still remain in the
city from the once Grand Army of
the Republic. Perhaps it is not amiss
10 remind the owners of those ma
chimes that they can show their re-
gard for the old soldiers by placing
their machines at the disposal of the
veterans during the march, which is
not a very long one and which will
not require a great deal of time. The
favor would, however, be great and
would he appreciated.
There are now in the John Buford
post of the G. A R of this city some
20 veterans. These, together with the
other veterans who will march in ad-
dition TO the Spanish-American war
veterans, make about 80 who should

use of the veterans for an hour Thurs
