BE A USEFUL GUEST

A girl who is accustomed to, spend
time with wealthy friends shows hel
appreciation by, making herself use
full in quiet ways.
If there are guests who are unin-
teresting, she relieves her hostess OF
the burden of entertaining them. She
makes herself so agreeable to bores
that no one else is bored with them
She is always ready to turn her gifts
to account to ease the social burdens
of her hostess. She fills out table
at bridge with her hosts friends, plays
croquet with the children of the fam
lily, never finds it too warm for tennis
with the college boys. will paddle the
canoe for the water-loving guests and
read aloud half the morning for the
group who like best to sit on the
porch and do fancy work. .. 49,.
One of the most useful occupations
of this useful guest is her care of the
flowers. Vases are filled and put in
bedrooms and living rooms. and
three decorations for the table are
made ready s{.,z, 81 z...zz.,5lsa Is
Having love Of flowers and sense
of color, the table adornments4. are
eagerly waited, as there are; sure to
be unusual and artistic combinations.
Perhaps for breakfast there will be
ferns and the yellow evening prim-
rose, arranged in Japanese style in an
oval jardiniere of brown reeds. The
can is filled with pebbles and water.
and the flowers, stuck in a Japanese
holder at one end, seem to be growing
in the water. For luncheon there
will be bold arrangement of yellow
coreopsis and blue larkspur, while at
dinner there will be masses of white
phlox and pink spiraea.
No waitress could supply such ar
tistic effects, and the hostess makes
sure that useful girls will be included
in all her parties. ~ 49,. p :.

Women of New York Active in
Spreading Democratic
Gospel

or the women's Democratic organ
izations that are working for the cleo
ton of Woodrow Wilson, most have
been organized for the specific pur,
pose of helping to elect the Governor
TO the Presidency. But there is one
that counts his election as but one
number on a program that extends
back into the past TO 1904, and, it is
expected, will extend into the future
indefinitely. This is the Woman's
Democratic Club of the City of New
York, founded eight years ago by Mrs.
John Sherwin Crosby, having now a
membership of two hundred women,
and holding the record for perma.
nency Of organization among women's
Democratic associations. Since its or
ganization 1t has assisted in furtbering
Democratic principles wherever and
whenever its services, could be used.
II played its part in the campaigns
that brought George B. Mcclellan to
the mayoralty for his SECOND term,
and took an active interest in the
Presidential campaign of 1908.
1t Will be seen, therefore, that it is
not Wilson club primarily, but a
Democratic club that works for the
principles OF Democracy. The club is
in q singular relation to the Woman's
National Democratic League, which
1t mothered. Yet it may be said to be
daughter of the national body in the
sense that a local organization stands
in more or less filial attitude toward
the national body that associates the
sister locals. The national league was
organized in June. Mrs. Crosby being
the prime mover in that enterprise,
too. The Dolly Madison breakfast at
Washington provided the opportunity
for prominent Democratic women
from all over the country to consider
the national phase of the question in
conclave. and Mrs. Crosby. at the re-
quest OF the Washington women,
promptly brought about an organiza-
ton. She was elected president of
the national league.
The vice presidents elected were
Mrs. J. Q. Linthioum of Baltimore,
Mrs, Edward r, Taylor of Glenwood
Springs, Colo, and Mrs. William A.
GuIlop Of Yincennes, Ind. Mrs. John
Il. Raker OF Alturas. GaL,. was elected
recording secretary: Mrs. Steven B.

NEW CANDLESTlCKS
FOR THE TABLE

II tired of the ordinary silver or
glass candlestick for the table try
those of iridescent glass. They come
IN many tones of opalescence and a
variety of graceful shapes.
Sometimes just the eandlestick is OF
the glass with a shade of paper or
lace, but far the handsomest ones
have the candlestick, the patent hold
or for the candle, and the bell-like
shade, Of the iridescent glass. Occa-
sionally the shade is paler tone than
the holder.
Candlestieks of white Dresden are
attractive to use with the low white
Dresden or belliqueA or Italian majol-
lea flower vases in sections. A white
candle. unshaded, is in keeping with
these holders. For shade use one
entirely white or white, decorated
with green ferns.
The Colonial candlestick of glass
should be severe in line, especially if
Il be of pressed glass. 1t will be Civ
en- distinction by using white candle
the patent white glazed holders are
best with a lingerie shade, embroid-
cred in an open design in eyelets and
finished with a picot edge.

FEMININE LEADERS WHO ARE
WORKING FOR WOODROW WILSON
Not Personal or fractional.

Not Personal or FactionaI.
During the summer, vice presidents
have been appointed in ten States,
and the work Of organizing clubs,
State by State, has received decided
impetus. Like the New York City
league, the national is not personal
or factional league. Both are pledged
not to use their influence in behalf of
anybody prior TO nominations by the
, Democratic party.
!. It is a far cry from the present
take-it-for-granted attitude about the
potential efficacy of women and
/, bodies of women as advocates of po-
litical principles, to the perpleXity and
! hostility which greeted Mrs. Crosby 8
| local club when it was introduced to
the City Federation of Women's Clubs
as an incoming member. The Wo-
mans Democratic Club of the City of

chairman, and added, as Mrs. Crosby
rose to make response, This is the
president, Mrs. John Sherwin Cros-
By" -, ;,
Mrs. Crosby, reassuringly. as the wo-
men leaned forward, with wonderment
On their faces.
Today the same women are joining
the club, which offers a desired me-
dunn for the expression Of their own
political convictions, and doing it as
casually as their Republican sisters
are taking similar action in the Re-
publican camps. p. - .. -. ;.
New York boasts number of Wo-
men leaders who understand thor
oughly the art of doing significant
work under semisocial guise. Wo-
men, say some, can not do anything
without the social feature. "And it Is
good thing they can't" the women
answer. Mrs. Crosby and the leaders
allied with her make use of the $50
cial feature" literally and frankly in
the announcement of forthcoming ac-
tivities for the Woman's Democratic
Club. j.
That the Democratic women are
disposed to enter into these activities
with zest is indicated by the calls for
tickets that are coming in to Mrs.
Crosby, Mrs. jenkins, and their two
coworkers, Mrs. A Emil Skoog of No.
COL West One Hundred and Forty
ninth street, and Miss Nellie M, Nu-
gent of No. 12S West Eighty-four

The women's Democratic leagues by
no means engage ali or Mrs. Crosby's
civic energies and interest. She is a
believer in Henry Georges theories,
and active in the Woman's Single Tax
Club, in the Business Woman's Club,
the Woman's Press, Woman's Peace
Circle, International Pure Milk, and
various other representative organiza-
lions. =. -

TO FLUFF THE HAIR

Hair in the dog days is tryingly flat
and stringy. 1t can be fluffed and
made to stand out we'll from the head
even without curling, by brushing il
with an outward twist of the wrist
that lifts the hair up from the scalp
For this brushing, divide the hair
into strands, and go over the head in
a circle; then begin farther up and
continue until all the hair has been
lifted and lightened.
If this style of brushing is kept up
daily, or even several times week
the straightest and stringiest hair
soon becomes dry and easy to puff out
from the face.

ORDERLY CoIFFUREs

1t is no longer fashionable 10 have
ones head look as if hit by hurri-
cane, The well-dresSed woman has
glossy, well-arranged locks, nor Is the
manner of arrangement exaggerated
There is growing fancy for indi-
vidual hair dressing Find what style
suits you and stick to it. Better yet
have a choice of styles, as the
hair profits by. changing the way OF
wearing it, If one has an evening
and daytime coiffure the day of thin
locks is postponed.
1t is especially hard to keep, hair
tidy in summer. There is dust to
contend with. This means harder
brushing and more frequent washing
A brush with rubber hair back and
pigs bristles will make clean hair
less of task. Always brush the hair
we'll after motoring or being on the
train. 1t Is both unsightly and insan.
itary to have a dusty scalp; it affects
not only the hair, but the general
health. - ..s
Wear false hair as little as possible
in hot weather, as it overheats the
scalp. If the hair lies too flat with
out. something beneath it try a small
chiffon or net veil, the color of the
hair. 1t is much cooler than the or
binary rolls.
The best way to keep hair tidy is to
wear a net. Many women object to
this because it tends to make the hair
flat. There is new net of fine hair
across the front of the net When ad-
justed this net forms a bag shape,
which keeps the hair smooth, yet fluff
fly. r....
Another secret of tidy hair is to
have it firmly grounded at the angle
where the arrangement of the Golf
fure is begun. This is only accom-
plished by tieing. Instead of the uf1-
slightly string, there is sma;Felastic
with button that can be bought in
various shades. Never use anything
like an ordinary elastic, as the hair
catches in it and is cut. A steel hair
pin, bent as needed, holds the long
hair firmly and does not cut it. p
To make the hair glossy wipe the
surface with silk handkerchief or
piece of chiffon velvet.

AN ADJUSTABLE BANDEAU

The girl who likes to forego a
potiche in summer may make her
hats that were fitted over once more
becoming by means, of bandeau. The
nuisance OF sewing these in has usu-
ally been greater than that of arrang-
ing the hair over rat when wearing
a hat. Now comes an adjustable ban
deau that need not be sewed. ~.
Incomes in various shapes and sizes
and has three rust-proof clips that are
pressed into shape in a minute by
slipping under the lining. One BAN
deau will do for various hats and may
be set at any angle to decrease the
size of the hat crown and prevent il
from resting too far down.

1T has been stated by the Home

How far the actual practice has de- lparted from the theory is evident in the immense areas of staked claims in the immediate vicinity of Fairbanks upon which only perfunctory assessment work is done year after year, and in many cases no work at all--the claim ants being as clearly guilty of land frauds as any fradulent claimant who has ever been sent to a penitentiary.
 The least we should do is to re- qure rigid inspection and super vision of annual assessment work, and to put an end to the present privilege of holding claims in idleness for practically two years after stalking.

THE "PARALYSIS OF MINING
 DISTRICTS"

One of the most profitable tasks to which the Fairbanks section of the American Mining congress can devote it's attention and it's eff forts is the invention of cure for what has come to be known as the paralysis of mining dis tricts." It is a subject that can- not be discussed too much until remedy is found. The mining industry has progressed in the United States during recent years at a more rapid rate than any other single industry, yet the statutes that govern mining have remained practically unchanged for forty years. Amendment up- on amendment has been proposed, but little has been accomplished beyond warm discussion.
 There arc large areas of un- developed mining land in the states to which patents have al- ready been issued, and title pass cd from the United States govern ment. For this there is perhaps no remedy. And yet, in western Australia, if an owner of mining ground fails to work his ground, the government may step in, lease the ground to an operator, collect the proceeds of the lease and hand them over to the owner. The principle of such practice is, that it is to the interest of the state that it's resources should be de- veloped, and not be permitted to lie in idleness.
 Tn the early days of mining, a miner had the right to maintain possession of mining claim on- ly so long as he operated it. Con- tinuous operation and develop ment are theoretically at the basis of the right of a citizen to stake
