THANK SEWING PSALM
A Rhythmical and Grateful Chant.

A teacher in a Terre Haute ,ublic
school joins in the chorus:
Teaching is business which re-
quires great deal of brain and nerve
force. Unless this force is renewed as
fast as expended the teacher is ex-
hausted before the close OF the year.
Many resort to stimulating tones for
relief.

REVIVAL OF coFFuRE STYLE PARIS TAKES up NEW coLoRs
Jade and Malachite Green Are the
Latest to Find Favor In the Gay
French Capital.

While Paris has almost exhausted
its favoritism for red, which has been
going on since last summer, 1T has
just begun its enthusiasm for jade
and malachite green.
Both of these are lovely, bold tones
that need yelling on a number OF
women. or otherwise they would be
washed out.
When they are used without veil
ing the upper part OF the bodice is
made of tulle in white or flesh pink. to
take the shade of the green from the
face; and when woman cannot wear
the unrelieved tone it is yelled with a
dark shade of green tulle instead OF
black tulle
On these gowns there is an oppor-
tunity to use many jade and mala-
chite stones as trimming and as orna-
ments.

Smart little tailored costumes in

are ready for the southern season.
Separate blouses OF navy blue crepe
de chine are relieved by revers and
collars of white satin.
Taffeta will be much used in fash
ioning the dresses and suits for spring
wear.
The Importance of brocaded velvet
in the realm of evening wraps is un-
denied.
Shoes are becoming little more
ornamental In their effect
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1912-05-10

Colored hats Of braid, with rolling
brim made on wire frames and
trimmed with changeable taffeta, are
used for darker hats. Immense bows
of ribbon, with standing loops, form
the trims. Bordered and fancy rib
bons are used for these big ribbon
decorations and loops are wired to
keep them in the outstanding posi-
lions.
Although but one trimming material
is used or at most two, on this class
of millinery-ample quantities are nee
essary of this single material. Bows
are very large, sweeping like wings,
from the body of the hat. But some
small fancy feather ornaments are eff
fectively used on small shapes. They
are vivid in coloring as a rule, with
cerise and primrose the favorites and
the strongest of bright greens next.
1t is already settled that black and
white will have a great vogue in the
coming midsummer.

Westminster Abbey In History.

Westminster Abbey has played a
more important part in the worlds
history In the last thousand years
than any other one building. It is be-
lieved to be two thousand years since
the first building was put where the
present abbey stands. That was a
heather temple. 1t is supposed this
was pulled down In the year 178 to
make room for a church which a
British king named Lucius built In or
der that he might have the Christian
faith taught.

The commission which is investigating
the cause of ideness is certainly doing a
noble work, but that any practical results
will be accomplished we must not be too
sanguine.
The causes of idleness are too well
known; it is also too well known that soci-
ETY., as now constituted, will not remedy
the evil, and our present powers of legsla-
ton cannot reach it.
Look into cur stores and offices and see
how many women are doing mans work
and the reason why men are standing idle
will be obvious.

One of these is the unspeakably corrupt
