TAKE TIME TO ENJOY
LITTLE SENSE IN ovERWoRKlNe
TO THE BREAKING POINT.
Virtue That Is Excellent, in Modera.
ton, Can be Transformed Into a
Wicklow One Woman Con-
serves Her Strength.

''She's making big money" said a
man to me the other day, speaking
OF a mutual acquaintance, a woman
who, beside editing magazine, had
recently undertaken to write series
CT articles that would require lot OF
research, but what she needs Is to
learn to spend some of it. What's the
good of money in the bank to dead
person. She is overworking herself
to the breaking point"
The savings bank habit is a mighty
good one, but you don't want to let it
get the best of you You can overdo
prudence just as you can anything. A
virtue that grows to be an obsession
cannot be distinguished from vice.
There are times when you ought to
be extravagant, ought to give your
self 1.-The best there is" and think 1t
none too good. We all know what 1t
is to feel stale. If we realized that
severe nervous breakdowns often
start with that same "staIe" feeling
we might learn to regard 1t more seri-
ously than we do.
When you feel "all tuckered OUT
cash a check at the bank and run
down to Atlantic City for couple OF
days. They'll do you more good than
a month after the doctor has ordered
a rest. One woman / know takes four
days every month to play in, going on
Wednesday night and returning Mon
day morning.
AS she doesn't take the half holi-
day on the other Saturdays to which
she is entitled, you see she doesn't
really lose much time She leaves
town either alone or with a chum who
won't expect her to be "sociable," goes
to the sea or the hills or to some 9TH
er city, puts up at a simple hotel
where the food is good, and just plays.
You would never think, If you met her
on one of these jaunts, that she knew
what work was. She always takes
good book with her, one of the "old
fellows" as she calls them, and drops
the magazines and papers, clearing her
mind of everything in the least like
her usual routine One In a while she
goes to visit friend, but as a rule she
prefers the greater freedom of hotel
And she comes back to her work a
woman refreshed and radiant, thor
oughly convinced that her time and
money both have been well spent
Many of us think we can't do things
because we haven't tried. Perhaps few
of US can arrange to pool our holidays
and have to do the best we can with
those that come along in the regular
course. But we ought to give ourselves
a real treat once in while, for there
is no greater tonic in the world than
enjoyment. You don't always need to
spend money for tia lot OF enjoyment
comes as free as sunsets, a child's
laugh or good walk But it is better
to spend a little money foolishly, or
what seems foolishly, on oneself every
now and then, instead of to be forever
saving up for that "rainy day. we live
In such terror of meeting. You can't
beat health, serenity and a growing
fund of pleasant memories-Hilde-
garde Hawthorne.

GOVERNOR APPROVES CHARTER
GIVES LIFE TO TWO NEW LAND
COMPANIES.
Corporations Formed to Deal In Agr
cultural Lands-Charters Were
Turned Down by the At
torney General.

Jackson-Gov. Brewer has approved
two applications for charters from
Natchez corporations that had been
turned down by the attorney general.
The Selma Planting Company and an
other corporation organized by the same
stockholders at Natchez will now be in
position to do business for at least TWEEN
ty years. The purpose OF the organizers
of the two companies is to deal in agri-
cultural lands which is in conflict with
a bill passed at the recent session OF the
legislature tending to prevent corpora
tions from dealing in or holding these
lands.
The bill, however, does not go into
effect until November 2, and provides
that those land companies already doing
business shall have twenty years in
which to dispose of their holdings.
The companies applying for charters
ask that they be allowed to exist for
fifty years, and the attorney general
cannot see the propriety in issuing
charters for new companies to run for
fifty years, while the new law provides
that even the old companies shall go out
of business within twenty years.
1t is stated, however, that the attor-
ney generals department acts only In
an advisory capacity in these matters,
and that the governor and the state
secretary are the ones to make final de-
cision.
This is the first instance so far In
the new administration in which the
governor has overruled the attorney gen.
erals decision in matters pertaining to
new charters.

One on the Proofroonn.

There are few words in the I'M
abridged dictionary that have not at
some time invaded the proofroom of
this office, but one came in the other
day, an utter stranger: 1t was in the
body of an astronomical article.
'This beats me- said proofreader
No. 1 to the copyholder. Lets see
the copy"
There 1t was written in with q
heavy hand in the blacklist of black
ink.
tits got more legs than spider"
said the proofreader. Only six letters
in the word. and FIVE of 'em below the
line.
There 1t was syzygy-three of the
six letters are US.
What does the blooming word
mean?" asked the copyholder. The
proofreader for the first time in many
moons declined to give an opinion.
The dictionary was consulted. "Syz-
ygy-the point of an orbit, as of the
moon or planet at which it is in con-
junction or opposition" The word is
pronounced sizz-e-gee.
Sounds like the cracker to col

closed the book.

PARIS TAKES UP NEW CoLoRS
Jade and MaIachite Green Are the
Latest to Find Favor in the Gay
French Capital.

While Paris has almost exhausted
its favoritism for red, which has been
going on since last summer, it has
just begun its enthusiasm for jade
and malachite green.
Both of these are lovely, bold tones
that need yelling on a number OF
women, or otherwise they would be
washed out
When they are used without veil
ing the upper part of the bodice Is
made of tulle in white or flesh pink, to
take the shade of the green from the
face; and when a woman cannot wear
the unrelieved tone it is yelled with a
dark shade OF green tulle instead of
black tulle.
On these gowns there Is an oppor
tunity to use many jade and mala,
chite stones as trimming and as orna.
ments.

Secretary Knox's experience with
the Central American crowd was not,
as he supposed, cheering for him, but
applauding local idol in his party,
recalls the story told by a sportsman
who went fishing last summer on the
Pecos river.
Leaving the train at Glorietta, he
took a wagon for Windsor's ranch. It
was long, hard pull for II miles, and
the sportsman looked eagerly for the
resort long before it came into view.
Finally the wagon rounded a point,
and Windsor's ranch was revealed be-
low. Almost as soon as 1t appeared
the wagon In turn was discovered
from the ranch. Some Is or 20 men
boiled out of the cabins. and tre-
mendous cheer arose In the valley.
The sportsman was at once puzzled
and flattered.
Great Scott" he exclaimed. "Is
that for me?"
The driver clapped on the brakes
and reared baS on the lines.
For your he laughed mot on
your life. I'm bringin' the boys ten
gallons o. whisky !"-St. Louis Post

Taffeta and hemp are being used to
make some of the smartest of stiff

shown, these being very large and
trimmed with wings as a rule.
But one of the most popularJ shapes
seems to be the derby, made ON much

Although but one trimming material

midsummer, to visions of
N Isl beaches and mountains, to vaca-

beautiful that trimmings are mere &C.
cessories used to accentuate its lines,
to repeat or reflect its expression or to
accentuate its peculiarities.
These hats must be properly poised
