Safest Antiseptic
For Women to UeS

In every household you Will find
among the toilet necessities some sort
of n germicide, in the form OF either q
tablet. solution or powder. Many Of
these antiseptic preparations contain
poisons, and unless the greatest care
Is used, much harm is done to the per-
sons using them.
The value of an absolutely harmless
antiseptic powder. AZ compared with q
poisonous tablet solution, is appar-
ent to every one, and that is one rea-
SON why physicians everywhere have
strongly recommended the use of
Tyree's AntiSeptic Powder. Tyree's
Antiseptic Powder should commend it

GARAGE BROKEN INTO.
Shattered Wine Bottles Found by

George W. Jones, chauffeur for Senator
Frank B. Brandegee Of Connecticut, re-
turned ts the garage In rear Of the sena-
tors home, 1521 K street northwest, last
night about IL o'clock and discovered an
intruder had been there during his alb
sence Several broken wine bottles In
the room suggested the possibility OF
vandals having been there, and Jones
complained to the police
Detective Stringfellow Of tho third pre-
cinct visited the premises this morning
and made an investigation. While he
thought the condition Of the room sug-
gested the work Of vandals, he also real
lied that the breaking Of the bottles may
have been done after their contents had
been consumed.
only a few weeks ago the house OF
Senator Brandegee was badly damaged

there is the remotest connection between
the fire and the taking Of the wine. It Is
nossible that Senator Brandegees wine
was taken and that broken bottles were
left there to make II appear that no rob-
berry had been conlMtted.

LISTEN.
By Ruth Cameron.

Listen.
No, 1 am not going to tell you anything
startling. That's just the topic Of my
remarks.
How few people ever willingly do much
listening in all the course OF their lives!
And yet how much can be accomplished
by clever listening at the right time!
When you don't know what to say.
don't say it. Don't stumble into banal
commonplaces or tactless "breaks," just
for the sake Of talking. Simply close
your lips, open your ears, look wise.
and
Listen.
Then you will get the reputation of be-
Ing tremendously reserved and OF having
literally unspeakable stores OF wisdom
hidden away in your mind.
Again. when aay one says something
which you do not understand. do not be
too prompt to display your ignorance oy
asking for explanations. Instead. draw
him on, make him talk some more on
this subject and
Listen.
Very soon he will explain himself. and
you will not have had to hetray your ig-
norance

yours. In like manner, IL you want to
make any one. man or woman, enamored
of your wit and intelligence, I'LL them full
to overf1owing of admiration for their
own cleverness, and all the good feeling
that runs over will be yours. And the
best way to do this is. of course, to get
them talking on some congenial subject,
and then just
Listen.
When you are made a party to a quar-
rel against your WILL take 1t for granted
that you wouldn't enter one any other
wat-don't think OF the most cutting
things you can say to wound your OPP
ponent There is better weapon than
that ready made to your hand. Just keep
control Of yourself, look loftily amused,
il you can manage that, and
Listen.
Let him say all the foolish, undignified
things while you just listen and smile.
You will find that no words you could
think up would so enrage him as that
impenetrable armor Of listening. which
not the fiercest of his attacks can pierce,
but which sends them all back boomer
ang-lke to lodge in his own remorseful
heart.
These are a few Of the occasions when
the listener has the better part. Only a
few. To enumerate them all would take
quite too long. But II you will learn
the fine art of listening you will soon find
plenty Of opportunities for profiting by it.
So whenever you don't know what else
to do, and often when you think you do.

Little Stories for Bedtime.
SHADOW THE WEASEL GETS LOST.

Shadow the Weasel might come to hunt
him there, SO Peter had made dozens and
dozens of little paths, twisting and turn
Ing and crossing, and recrossing in the
most puzZling way. OF course, Peter
himself knew every twist and turn of
every one Of them, but Shadow had not
gone very far before he was all mixed up
Peter led him farther and farther into
the middle of the old brier patch. Right
there Shadow came to great big puddle
of water. Peter had jumped clear across
it. for you know Peters legs are long
and meant for jumping. Now, Shadow
hates to get his feet wet, and when he
reached the puddle he stopped. He glared
with fierce little red eyes across at Peter
Rabbit sitting on the other side. Then he
started around the edge.
Peter waited until Shadow was almost
around, and then he jumped back across
the puddle. There was nothing for
Shadow to do but go back around, which
he did. OF course. Peter just did the
same thing over again. all the time laugh
angry that he tried to jump the puddle
himself. and in he fell with a great
splash.
When Shadow crawled out. wet and
muddy. Peter had disappeared. and
Shadow couldn't tell which path he had
taken. Worse still, he didn't know which
path to take to get out himself. He tried
ore after another, but after a little while
would find himself back at the puddle in
the middle of the old brier patch Shadow
the Weasel was lost; yes. sir. Shadow the
Weasel was lost in the old brier patch.
Outside Reddy Fox waited and watched
but no frightened Peter Rabbit came
jumping out as he expected. What could
1t mean? After long. long time he saw
some one very muddy and very wet and
very tired crawl out of one of Peter
Rabbits little paths. 1t was Shadow the
Weasel. Reddy took one good look at
him and then hurried away. He didn't
want to hear what Shadow the Weasel
would say. And as he hurried across the
Green Meadows he heard Peter Rabbit $
voice from the middle Of the old brier
patch.
IF at first you don't succeed, try, try
again." shouted Peter Rabbit.
Reddy Fox ground his teeth.

MatronIy Modes.

For a matron a black and white prin-
cess robe is made in narrow stripes Of
equal size and arranged with lengthwise
and horizontal panels, alternating with a
suggestion Of ladder and it's rungs.
The notable feature of this robe is its
revers. the corsage having short outer
lapels with lace inset between them. while
revers from a narrow point on the
shoulders came down to meet at the
waist and were continued in ten-inch-
wide ladderlike lines to the hem of the
garment. This gown was carried out IN
black and white marquisette, with Vene-
tian lace for trimming.

BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

All the Green Meadows had heard how
Peter Rabbit had frightened Reddy Fox
with an old straw hat and everywhere
shout after him:
Reddy Eox 10 fine to see:
Hes as bravo as brave can be
Till he meets an old straw hat
Then he don't know where he's at!
Then Reddy would lose his temper and
chase his tormentors. Most Of all, he
wanted to catch Peter Rabbit. He lay
in wait for Peter in fence corners and be-
hind bushes and trees. but somehow Peter
seemed always to know that Reddy was
there.
In, the old brier patch Petef was safe
Reddy had tried to follow him there. but
he had found that it was of no use at all.
Peters paths were so narrow and the
brambles tore Reddy's clothes and
scratched him SO that he had to give it
UP. Reddy was thinking Of this one day
as lie sat on his doorstep. scowling over
at the old brier patch. and then all of a
sudden he thought OF Shadow the Weasel.
Shadow Is so slim that ne can go almost
anywhere that any one else can. and he
Is so fierce that nearly all of the Little
Meadow people are terribly afraid OF
him. Reddy smiled. 1t was mean.

up and hurried to find Shadow the Weasel
and tell him his plan.
Shadow listened and then he. too. began
to smile. Its easy, Reddy Fox. the
easiest thing in the world. Well get
Peter Rabbit just sure as fat hens
are good eating" said he. as they started
for the old brier patch.
Reddy's plan was very simple. Shadow
the Weasel was to follow Peter Rabbit
along Peters narrow little paths and
drive Peter out of the old brier patch on
to the Green Meadows. where Reddy
Fox could surely catch him.
So Reddy Fox sat down to wait while
Shadow started into the old brier patch.
Peter Rabbit heard him coming and OF
course, Peter began to run. Now, when
Peter first made his home In the old brier
patch he had foreseen that some day

WOMEN'S CLUB WORK.
IX-In Domestic Science and for Pure Food.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

American homes. The domestic science
course OF the womens clubs takes the
stand that home economy Is as important
to the political economy of the nation as
any other branch of finance
Under the direction Of the clubwomen
domestic science conferences to which the
men are invited also are held regularly
In many OF the states. In many in
stances the women cannot have the neces-
sary appliances for the improvement OF
the home because the men hold the purse
strings. This fact is especially true in
the farming districts. and is largely re-
sponsfDle for the discomfort that prevails
among farmers wives. There are farms
which have every outside convenience, in
cluding running water in the barn. and
yet the wife and mother may be using
an old tomato can in the kitchen for
dlpper, and be forced to pump every drop
OF water she uses or to carry it for a
considerable distance from a we'll or
spring. When such subjects are discuss
ed In open meeting, in the presence Of
men. it is surprising how soon results
are apparent. At one meeting a man
rose and said: II have been made to feel
as small as a peanut today, because I
have running water in my barn and not
in my house. but it shall not be SO
month longer"
