1t isn't that the world demands too
much OF woman, but rather that II de-
mands too little Of many
The soul OF the little boy that comes
into his mothers keeping is just as un-
stained as that OF her baby girl. Each
Is equally precious to God. He expects
every mother to teach this fact TO her
sons, or such is my faith. It is unfair
to our boys that society should condone
questionable actions on their part while
1t condemns them so bitterly in our girls
that the consequence to them is ostra-
ctsm.
The path OF the feminine offender is
strewn with thorns. There Is wisdom
In this for were the way made easier

come so numerous that the whole fabric
of society would be rent in twain.

PANAMA HATS In
SEVERAL STYLES

Panama hats this season are shown In
several different styles. but the shape
that leads all others is the one with a
stiff brim that droops slightly at the
front and back. Velvet is the preferred
trimming for first Panamas.
Sometimes the band that surrounds the
crown Is tied in stiff bow at the side
with ends tackled perfectly fat to the
crown. Then, again, the velvet viii be
draped in soft folds and a fancy feather
tucked under the chou that finishes the
ends OF the velvet In any event the
feather ornament stands high above the
crown and is made on very slender pro-
portions. Some of the ultra Panamas are
faced with coral uncut velvet and are
trimmed with bewitching bows Of the
came material
A few extremely large Panamas are be-
ing shown by Washington milliners, and
as such shapes are far more becoming
than are the narrow brims. IL Is safe
pred ction that many viii choose the
broad brims in preference to the narrow
ones In fact, one weli-known modiste
declares that hats viii be larger and
there will be more uncomfortable women
crowded street cars than during the win
ter season. when II was thought that the
biggest Of big hats were the craze.
The big Panamas OF the present vintage
are appropriately trimmed with silk
scarfs Of Oriental patterns. These East
ern scarfs are wide and long and tie
gracefully in any style one prefers.
Among the hats for afternoon wear one
sees. any number Of old-fashioned low
dome crowns with rather narrow brims
that droop slightly. Such shapes are
made Of silk or OF fine straw covered
with net. The only trimming is a wreath
OF very small flowers at the base OF the
crown. On the other hand, some of the
imported models are overwhelming and
in some instances eclipslng. but the
American notifications given to them by
the milliners who know what American
women fancy. and the individual char
acter bestowed upon them by pretty

For Stout Women,

Skirts are stin attached TO a slightly
high belt. unless 1t is better TO accentu-
ate the waist line for those who are not
slim and straight. In a word, to the
woman who has increased in weight
nothing viii be more becoming than the
softly draped surplice waist, which can
not be surpassed In grace, and q skirt
unbroken in length.
She can create on this foundation, as
her fancy may dictate. a thousand origi-
nal ideas-panels of lace, bands in length
wise strips-but always must bear in
mind that good results are achieved only
when the lines are long and simple.
The best-gowned women recognize this
unfailing rule and cleverly adapt the
French designs.

Too Dark TO See Bugs.
A dark-so dark one can never press

always make me think of the verse in
the Bible about 'straining at a Gnat and

The modern improvements are all SO

smells that it's hardly worth while think

overheated. II is no wonder women are
turning to Offices in preference to work
ing in dark little kitchens or kitchenettes.
Light is something every kitchen should
be compelled to have, there should be 4
law against dark kitchens, plenty OF day

important room in the home.

love the pleasing duties Of home work,
TO enter into the same.
Prefer Offices.
Instead, they take the office, the less
congcnial work, less healthful, but IL is
not quite so dirty and smelly as the little

the work is not SO healthful. it's harder

SWAMP LAND VALUABLE.
Millions of Acres in This Country
the Basis of Great Agricul-
turaI Wealth.
copyright ~ Anlerlean Press Asseelatlol..

'Official estimates of the aggre-
gate amount of swamp land in the
whole United States differ saws
William s. Bridgman in Munsey's
Magazine for April. In an article
entitled "The Enormous Wealth of
Our Swamp Lands" he says: Much
of our swamp land has never been
surveyed, and it's precise extent
can only be estimated In special
report issued, by the department of
the interior in 1908, the total area
of land needing drainage was placed
at 7S,473,700 acres or about 1922
615 square miles.
tAs a rule" continues the writer,
swamp land is not bad land, but
the richest land known. 1t grows
richer with each succeeding year
as it's vegetation blossoms and dies
and the decaying matter mixes 1t:
substance with the silt, fine earth
and other material that is washed
down from the upper courses o
streams or deposited by overflows
The result is a soil of wonderful
fertility, which has only to be drain
ed of its water to be made the ba
sis OF splendid agricultural wealth.
