IN THE JAPANESE STYLE
Excellent Suggestion for Linen Show.
er That VIII BE Out Of the ordI-
nary-For Place Cards.

A charming idea for linen shower
Is to carry 1t out in japanese fashion
with the colors OF the cherry blossom
as the decorative scheme.
II the luncheon is designed, darken
the room and hang numbers Of Chi
nese lanterns about. These may be
suspended from red and green cords
festooned around the walls, and can
dies for the table may be in green.
with the rosy color for The shades.
Carnations, or better still the cherry
blossoms themselves. so beautifully
made now in paper, can be the flower,
and placing some of the branches in
crystal bowls and vases, just few in
each, gives pretty effect. Tall
screens covered with the blossoms
may be placed about wherever most
effective, forming alcoves and coy
corners.
Have the parcels Of linen wrapped
in rose paper and tied with green rib
bons. A girl friend wearing kimono
in the two colors may bring in the
packages, handing them to the bride
to-be, or placing them on large tray
ready for the purpose, where the
laughing recipient may open and dis
play the contents to those present
Place cards may be tiny fans with
Japanese heads pasted on them.

IUN,LE ODE SAYS
GEORGIA FOR UNDERWOOD
Satisfied He Will Carry State
By Large Majority

Atlanta, Ga, April 4.-There isn't a
better or sounder political prognost.-
Gator in the state than Hon. o. B.
Stevens, who for many years held the
positions of commissioner of agricul-
ture and state railroad commissioner
During his entire political career,
Mr.. Stevens was noted for figuring a
situation out just right. He is great
traveller over the state, has hundreds
of friends whom he sees and talks
with everywhere he goes, and he al
ways manages to get pretty close and
exact line on the way things stand.
Mr.. Stevens has been spending some
time in and around Dawson, his old
home, and he has been much in the
northeastern section of the state as
WELL
q am satisfied that Underwood is
going to carry Georgia" said Colonel
Stevens yesterday.
81 have been recently both in south
west and northeast Georgia; have dis
cussed the situation with number OF
friends, and it looks to me as if Under
wood has all the best of it.
THE Underwood sentiment has
grown in surprising manner. As
soon as the situation developed itself
many people turned from other can
didates to Underwood, while many
who had not made up their minds
came out strongly for him.
Il have watched many politica
situation, and l have yet to see on
in which the indications are stronger
than in this.
There is every reason why Geo.
gians should support Underwood TO:
the presidency, and / have found tina
IS what they are doing"

A Child's Environment.

Tales of the horrible and super

children should never be intrusted,
As 10 90 often done today, to the care
Of ignorant. superstitious nurses It

number OF lives that have been
ruined, mentally and morally. by
the harmful suggestions which. often
through sheer ignorance. have ema-
mated from nurses and governesses.

Of impressionable children. Indeed.
there Is even reason for believing
that parents. II they have 1t heart

should postpone giving them ad-
vanced religious instruction until
they are somewhat advanced In
years. says . well-known writer.
1t would be all very well II the
instruction could be confined to the
bright and inspiring side Of religion,
but the question OF sin and punish
ment necessarily comes In; and chill
dren seize upon and brood over such
ideas as the devil, hell. and fallen
angels, to an extent that few par
ents realize. The result. In many
eases, Is to harden and brutalize
them; In others, to give rise to sub
conscious terrors which, in after life,
may manifest themselves in the form
Of various nervous troubles and NEIL

NO TANGIBLE GLUE.
Found by Boston Police of the Muir
derer of Mrs. Jewar.

Boston, May 23.-Still without any
tangible clues to work upon, the police,
today, resumed their efforts to uncov-
err the mystery surrounding the muir
der Of Lillian r. Jewar. who was
found strangied TO death in her apart
ment in the South End Monday Po-
lice officers in plain clothes secured
the district where the woman lived and
interviewed many persons in the hope
of discovering who was with the VIC
tim a few hours before she met her
death
Circumstances attending the manner of
killing Mrs. Jewar have led the police
and Medical Examiner Leary TO believe
that the crime may have been committed
by a woman. The fact that the woman's
nostrils We're stuffed with pieces of
string inclined them to think that the
deed was the work of a hysterical wo-
man. After the victim had been struck
on the head with some club or instru-
ment indications are that a kimona was
stuffed into her mouth and she was then
strangled with a towel The police def
nitely identified the body, last night, and
ascertained that Mrs. Jewar was ma
tive of Botsweodsville, Exploit Bay, New
foundland The body remains i'm the city
hospital morgue awaiting a claimant and
relatives have been notified.

ground that the title to the coffee,
which the government has asked the

Brazilian state of Sac Poul.
Responding to the request by Sec
rotary Knox. the attorney general
gave him a copy of the petition in
