The Girl Who Stays at Home.
BY ALICE MASON.

With the passing Of June school
life will end for many a girl Some
will elect to take up q profession OF
business. Others will stay at home.
Those who go into business will give
the matter some serious thought, re-
cognizine that such a decision can
not be taken nor such responsible.
ties assumed lightly. But the girl
who stays at home will give the
matter no consideration whatever.
But she should.
She has just as important work
awaiting her in the home as has the
girl in an office. Her decision will
affect her future life quite as much
as if she were taking up a profession.
It is quite important to the family
and to herself what kind of home
girl she will be.
If she lie going to be the home girl
who comes down late to a breakfast
her mother has prepared, who idles
through the morning dawdling in
the shops or gossiping with friends,
who wastes the afternoons and even
ings in more gossip or gayeties,
home life will be decided disad-
vantage to her. She will deterierate
morally and mentally. She will
grow selfish ind lazy. No girl should
permit herself to become this sort Of
home girl even though her mother
may want to indulge her or the
family circumstances may permit Of
idleness. 1t is not enough merely
to live, An animal can do that.
One should live to some purpose.
A certain amount Of gayeties and
pleasures are right and necessary.
Girlhood needs them. But not all
ones time should be given up to
them. Life demands Of a healthy,
bright, forceful girl something more
worth while. Pleasure should be
given its proper place and proper
ton in the days affairs, like the

Mr.. Ira Cook Dead.

We have just learned Of the death
of Mr.. Ira Cook, who had something
like a eoniestive chill Tuesday, from
which he never recovered.
He died Thursday evening. Mr..
Cook in many respects, was rather
remarkable man and since common
cling business in Lee County 10 or
10 years since, has accumulated
quite large amount Of money.
While his own worst enemy, he had
q great many friends and had the
the qualities Of a good business man.
Within the last IL months he
gave up his Turpentine business,
and has this year engaged in farm
ing on very fine plantation 4 miles
east of Leesburg. He leaves q little
daughter 10 or IL years old. His
wife, who was a Miss. Williams, of
Dolly now Crisp County, preceded
him to the grave s or 10 years since.
Mr.. Cook was originally from
Wagner South Carolina, coming to
Georgia in early manhood. Our
sympathies go out to the bereaved
ones, The remains will be inferred
at Wagner s. @. his old home.

FRAGILlTY OUT OF FASHION
Girls Of Today Seek Health and Take
the Right Way to Secure
the Blessing.

1t is no longer fashionable with the
fair sex to feign delicacy. nor are the
girls Of the coming generation actual
ed by an insane desire to appear fra
gile and genteel at the expense of
health. The scores of buxom, bright
eyed young ladies one will meet in
any of our public thoroughfares any
afternoon Is ample evidence of the
truth of the assertion, says Woman's
Life. No longer do the fair ones seem
wan and pale to look upon. nor is their
style Of locomotion suggestive of eff
fort; but, on the contrary, nearly all
seem strong and 1.-THE of limb, and
with cheeks suffused with the ruddy
glow of health. Doctors generally
agree that there is far less sickness
among the sex than had formerly been
the case. and this could be attributed
solely to the glorious practice young
ladies have of late acquired of testing
their capabilities as pedestrians, and
in engaging in other forms of light
physical exercise. 1t is to be hoped
that the good work will go on.

UMBRELLA CASE OF VALUE
Idea 10 to Match the Costume, and
the Vogue Is Rapidly Becoming
Fashionable.

Because of the tremendous vogue
of velvets and the number of cos
tunes in that material that are being
made up, the velvet-encased umbrella
has come into being. Made on a
slender but substantial frame, which
folds closely. and covered with silk
taffeta spread, the umbrella when
closed and encased appears like a
walking stick of velvet from ferrule
to top A solid silver monogram
plate caps the handle, which, ten
inches down its length, is ornamented
with double ring of silver.
Decided colors are now the smart
thing in silk umbrellas. All the fash
ionable shades of purple, blue, mauve
and the new reds are In demand for
spreads. which are mounted upon
frames that press tightly about q
slender stick and give the convenience
the appearance of a silken cane. This
fashionable fad is to procure a unique
handle for the umbrella that Is car
ried with the tailored walking suit,
and while some of the effects are ar
tistic, others are actually bizarre.
Among the latter are the cat, parrot
and monkey heads in natural colors
with jewels for eyes. In the former
class are all manner of beautifully
carved handles of rare woods and
ivory, and when money is not an OBJ
1ect. of jade, amber, rock crystal or
solid silver and gold.

Fur for Everything.

Fur goes everywhere. 1t trims the

ably enough on the tailor made. while
it is also in evidence In connection
with silks and soft satins. Skunk Is
the fur which is just now lifted to the
highest pinnacle OF favor. and one
sees 1t on all sides. With the fash
ionable mole gray suit it could hardly
be excelled, its deep, dark brown tint
having an admirable effect against
the gray.

BETTER MINE CONDITIONS.
Reports Show Loss Of Life Is. Less
In Last Year Than Formerly.


Denyer.-A human life was lost in
Colorado's mines for every 10000
tons of coal mined last year. A pen
atty Of ninety-one lives was paid for
the 10,157,3S3 tons of coal produced
by the mines in 1911.
In the first eight months of 1912
practically the same ratio held good,
for sixty-four men met death in the
industry of coal mining in this state
up to September l, 1912.
Both years show q great reduction
in the lives lost from 1910, however.
for in that year terrible disasters in
the Trinidad and Louisville fields
brought the total of miners deaths
up to 323, or one for each $4,000 tons
of coal produced. This was the high
est average of deaths in comparison
with tonnage in the nation in that
year-1910
1t was partly on account of this
disastrous showing that the federal
bureau of mines was impelled to send
two of its mine safety cars to Colo
rado. Every effort has been made by
the government to improve conditions
and discipline in Colorado's coal
mines.

The neckruff of ostrich is an as
sured favorite for the fall and winter
season. 1t is worn to best advantage
when the hat is trimmed to match.
With a world of ostrich fancy feath-
ers, plumes and bands of all descrip-
tons, 1t is not difficult to select a
trimming suited to almost any kind of
hat.
These ostrich neckruffs are made
OF long-hbred stock. generally. and set
close up about the neck. A hat to
match, with dropping brim, or a
shape which sets down on the head,
merges at some points into the ruff
and 1t is this that makes the effect
SO good when the hat trimming is like
the run.

times these are long and heavy but
