new home now is the time TO prepare
projections for her evening gowns and
coats. These she may store safely in
a press crowded with the proper sort of
hangers. if for each garment she makes
a kimono of coarse white lawn. The
sleeves of these covers should not be
sewed at the under side. but after they
have been placed about the garment
that is to be kept immaculate should
be tied at intervals with tapes, the fronts
of the kimono being similarly Joined
Finally, to prevent. the garments from

an amazing number of fine clothes may
be kept in a really small press.

Are Conductors Required to
Furnish Change

Dear Miss Doom:

boards a trolley car an mo names a fsr a c 6as
the conductor the right to refuse
changing So; also to put passenger on
the a ifRfare Is not paid?. BY an
swering you will oblige, a. b. e.
1t is the duty of the passenger to
provide himself with and to tender
to the conductor the exact amount of
fare required for his passage. The
giving of change Is a matter of cour-
tesy on the part of the trolley COM
pany, and is usually extended where
the bill offered is not too large, say
81, or, at the most 81, and where the
conductor has the necessary change
available; but do you not think that
1t is rather too much to expect the
conductor to make change for bills
of so large a denomination as 80,
when by the exercise of a little r
and forethought on the part of the
passenger he could have provided
himself with a nickel or some 5other
! coin? Where is the line to be Drawn?
If the conductor Is required to
shange a IS bill, why not a $40 Or
go bill, and If the passenger can ride
free because the conductor will not
or cannot give him the change for
the bill, what Is to prevent the pub
lie from using the trolleys without
paying fare at all, simply by proyid-

nominations? If you were to go into

AND PRACTICAL SLIP
BY MAY MANTON

The princess slip is one of the most
useful garments a girl can own. This
one can be made of lingerie material
and take the place of the corset cover
and p%etticoat to be worn beneath any
dress, or it ear be made of messaline,
either white or colored, to be worn
beneath the frock of transparent ma
terial. 1t can become a perfectly
plain, simple slip or a very dainty
garment. according to the manner in
which it is treated. On the figure the
slip is made of mercerized batiste
with trimming of embroidery and
beading. The founee makes an at
tractive finish, but it is not neces-
sary, for many girls like a palmer
slip. either with a hem or a narrower
frill. The back can be made in habit
style or with an inverted plat.
For the Is year size the slip will
require 6% yards of material q, 5M
yards Sc or 4 yards A inches wide;
with the f1ounce, as illustrated, l
yard 81 or y yard Sc or A inches wide
with 8 yards of embroidery 4 inches
wide. 9 yards of insertion and 414
yards of beading.
The May Manton pattern, 1885, is
cut in sizes for misses of IA. Is and
IS years of age. 1t will be mailed to
any address by the fashion depart
ment of this paper on receipt of ten
cents.

A Lengthy Engagement

Dear Miss Doom:
Do you believe in long engagements?
! have been engaged to a man for seven
years and still he says nothing definite
about getting married. Do you think 1t
is worth my while to keep on being en-
gagged to him, unless | know we are to
be married pretty soon?
DISCOURAGED.
Unless there is some vitality good
reason for 1t no nan should expect
q girl to wait seven years for him,
and he certainly is not much of a
man unless he can say something
definite about their coming marriage.

to decrease as she grows older, but a
mar can always marry, no matter
how old he becomes, at long as lie

BANANAS ARE
NOT DESSERT
By n Physician.

Bananas are a food. not a dessert.
They belong in the same category
with beefsteak. not in the blanc
mango class. Remembering this you
can get a whole lot of good out of
bananas-if you like them. For they
are full of nutriment and digest cas-
lily if properly masticated. Properly
~masticated." applied to a banana,
means chewed as slowly and as care
fully as you would a piece of meat.
Don't eat bananas for dessert after
you have eaten a heavy meal. That's
like eating a chop for dessert.

Methods Of Preserving Flowers

leaves must be on the STEM. II there
isn't much on it. bring some other green
leaves which suit.
.. Crowding flowers in nearly the same
length is not good; avoid 1t by shorten
ing or frightening some of them.
3. Spreading the two alike in just op-
rosite directions is awkward; never ar
range this way.
4. Crossing each other must be avoided
5. Don't let flowers or leaves stand up
in a vertical position. Bend them down.

Little Joan Maude, the youngest writer
In the world, made her literary debut this
week. She is only 4 years old, and her
book is called Behind the Night-Light'
Joan Maude Is by no means the or
binary type of precocious child. She's n
sunny, auburn-haired romp of girl who.
ever since she has been able to speak. has
apparently associated with a whole COM
pany of creatures of fancy, whose APP
pearance and habits she describes and
with whom she converscs. These descrip-
tions follow a definite system, and are
neither incoherent nor vague, but recur
again and again. Her parents are quite
unable to account for the child's imagin-
ings, as they bear no relation to any
people for scenes she Knows.
Joan's method of composition is entire
ly delightful. Her tiny fingers have never
touched the keys of typewriter nor
held a fountain pen. Instead, her hands
are full of toys, and while she plays she
repeats her visions in pretty, childish
treble, Her parents have faithfully
recorded them without the faintest
thought on her part OF being doubted or

No young girl is absolutely safe, espe-

An Aggressive Campaign

The republicans have selected their
standard bearer and within "a hours
the democrats will select theirs. The
campaign will be spirited.
President Taft was perhaps the
logical man for his party to nominate,
but he was in many respects their
weakest candidate. With Colonel
Roosevelt a bolter from the repub-
lican organization it would seem
almost unthinkable that Mr.. Taft
could be elected, and yet he will make
a strong run. To begin with, he will
have a large slush fund at his dis
posal. He lisa standpatter and IN
the ranks of the standpatters are
many resourceful politicians. But his
party is badly split, and if the demo-
Gratis stand together they should be
able to sweep the country by even a
larger vote than Mr.. Cleveland re-
ceived in 1892. A crushing defeat in
November would sound the death
knell of the republican party. And
in view of the situation the repub-
licans will fight with desperation.
The campaign of 1884 was char
acterized by unusual mudslinging. 1t
was desperate campaign and Cleve-
land won over Blaine only by the
skin of his teeth. The contest now
about to begin may not bring out
the mud that was in evidence in 1884,
but it promises to be fully as aggres-
sive. a

Chinese Loan Negotiations Held Up

Minister Calhoun, native of Illi-
nois, advises the Chinese government
to borrow no money at all. 1t can get
along without it. The proposed loan
is deadlocked because the Chinese
people are opposed to the proposed
supervision of the proceeds of the
proposed loan by the groups of inter-
national banks. Sentiment in China
is running toward provincial auton-
omy anyway, and the movement will
gain new force from the terms that
the group of bankers is trying to inn
pose on China.
: The completion of the negotiations
for loan is distant and in the mean
while China will gain political sense
and independence, and loan may yet
be contracted for that will have nc
supervisory powers in it.
