YELLING MUST BE PLENTIFUL
Without a Liberal Supply Of Material
1t Is impossible to Get the
Proper Effect.

1t is poor economy to buy too scdnt
measure when purchasing face veil
ing. A smartly adjusted veil can
never have a skinny effect, as when
the back of yelling is straining at the
edges of the veil pin, or when there
is not sufficient material left at the
ends to be tucked from view. Wide
yelling and plenty of it must be used
on even a small hat. An excellent
idea is to have elastic cording run
through the meshes of the veil at the
top. being so measured as to fit firmly
at the base of the crown. This meth
cd avoids the pinning of the veil to
the hat brim, which is never very
secure way of fastening it and Is diff
ffcult to do if the hat brim is stiff, and
is apt to leave pin mafhs fn any
event. The fulness should be evenly
distributed around the crown and the
edges of the veil at the bottom caught
at the nape of the neck with a veil
pin or barette. The ends are then
drawn straight up to the back OF the
brim and invisibly tucked under the
elastic at the crown. When the veil
loses it's freshness and begins to sag
at the chin twist this portion round
and round and tuck it under its own
surface; this will give trimness to the
otherwise untidy appearance.

AWAKENED TRAINOF THOUGHT
Little incident That Would Have

of his wife, who had been away for
several days visiting her parents in
another city, a fashionable and we'll
known resident of the East side in
vited number of his men friends to
his home one night last week to play
cards and clink glasses.
Being fond OF music the host en-
gagged four-piece orchestra and while
his guests exchanged deals and raised
the cut glasses to their lips he found
more pleasure in reclining in favor

1t was nearing the time for depaI-
tUre when one of the merry-makers
proposed that each guest drink toast
to the host and that he respond. When
all had followed the suggestion they
turned toward the host. Tell us what
you are thinking of your wife," one
suggested as the party giver hesi-

around a load of hay.
They reached their destination in
two hours and ten minutes. When
they entered the village limits and
the speed fell to fifteen miles an

regained his breath and his glasses.
His daughter released her grasp Of the

WAYS OF FINDING PARTNERS
Some New and Original Ideas Which
Intending Hostesses May Find
of Real Value.

A correspondent kindly tells oI
these ways to find partners:
"One girl had conundrums written
on cards and given to the girls; the
answers to these were handed to the
gentlemen and they were numbered
corresponding with the numbers Oh
the girls cards; they were told to
find who their partners were. An
other girl had the girls names writ
ten backward on cards and handed
them to the gentlemen and told them
to make out who their partners were.
Another girl had a small piece cut out
of the card; the pieces were given to
the girls and the other portions of the
cards were given to the gentlemen
and they were told to look for the
girl who held the card corresponding
with theirs. Another put the girls
names on cards and they were put In
envelopes and sealed and hid in dif'
ferent places in the parlor."

We praise the work of Washington,
For George Is not alive;
He had no faults-no, no,-not one!
All, George is not alive!
We glory in the deeds he wrought,
The words he said, the thoughts he
thought
We call him perfect, but we'd not
If he were still alive.
We think with awe of Jefferson,
For Thomas isn't here;
All, what splendid height he won
Poor Thomas isn't here!
With pride we name the debts we owe
To this great man of long ago
'Tis safe to say we wouldn't, though,
If Thomas were here.
You do your best, but win no praise
All, well, leep striving on
You still walk here in pleasant ways
The great are always gone!
With all your might you try to climb
Today no man deems you sublime
Take heart! you, too, will die some time,
And then your day may dawn!

In Pastel Shades,

It has become quite a fad to have
the combinations, corset covers. pet
ticoats, gowns, etc, in colored batiste
to match the costumes with which
they are to be worn, or else to harmo-
nize with the decorations of the bou-
doir, particularly in the case Of gowns
and petticoats. The trimmings are
usually lace of the shadow or val vari-
ETY.. Cluny, baby Irish and venise are
used on gowns and petticoats. This
fad will probably continue until hot
weather arrives, at which time there
is nothing better than white.

The Fire.

There was a clatter of hoofs and
ringing of gongs, and then the brave
fire fighters hurriedly began drawing
out their lines of hose.
The captain of the crew shouted
through his megaphone, policemen
dubbed back people who tried to rush
through the lines, confusion was every
where, and the flames darted fierceiy
from the windows of the burning
house, as if they had been the tongues
of huge, angry serpents. A ladder
was hastily laced against one Of the
walls, and three of the firemen start
ed up, dragging a line of hose with
them.
"Here!" yelled the captain through
his megaphone; what are you doing?
Come down! Let the house go. There's
four tons of coal in the basement
Save that. Never mind the piano and
the jewelry."

ABOUT 'PHONE COMPETITION
BY Harold D. Stroud.
In 1899 Chicago, by almost
unanimous voice, declared that she
wanted telephone competition by
means of automatic telephones.
She gave the Illinois Tel. & Tel. Co.
a franchise and fixed maximum
rate of $84 a year, believing that
company would carry out its pledge
and give Chicago telephone users bet
ter service than was being given by
the Bell Co.
The Illinois Tel. & Tel Co. has fail
ed miserably even to put up show
of competition. 1t has collected the
peoples money for a second tele-
phone, which they continue to keep
and pay for year after year, believing
that they were making investment
for the future. Instead of going ahead
and putting in enough automatic
telephones so that the people could
get some real use out of this superb
service they spent nearly $40,000,000
of investors money, or large part
of $40,000,000, in boring tunnels I'M
der the streets of Chicago. AT first
they told the people that these tun-
nels were to accommodate telephone
cables, and it was long time before
the Chicago people awoke to the fact
that this company was really building
an underground railroad.
They have, paid but little attention
to the telephone part of the business,
vet have kept up pretense, of secur-
ing telephone subscribers. On July 9,
1912, thy entered into secret agree
ment with the telephone trust to sell
out the telephone plant, but this was
not known until over year later,
By entering into such an agreement
they directly violated the forfeiture
clause in the telephone ordinance,
and the people of Chicago should
compel them to go forward and carry

the assets OF the entire company,
supposed to represent $40,000,000,
were bought at auction by agents of
]. P. Morgan & Co., for $5,000,000,
presumably in the interests of the
Bell Telephone Company; and they
now wish to sell the telephone plant
to the telephone trust for $6,300,000
and retain the tunnels to do a rail-
road business and incidentally to Sc
cure from the city of Chicago con-
tracts for hauling out subway exca-
vations.
This is a fine state of affairs, is it
not-this telephone deal? Figured
out it means this: On a pretense of,
giving Chicago telephone competition,
valuable subway rights have been
given away by the city of Chicago.
1t sanctions the robbery of hun
dreds of unsuspecting stockholders,
the company or it's accomplices step
in and buy $40,000,0O0 property for
SIS, 100000 and wants the right to sell
it for $6,300,000, or that portion of
it representing the telephone plant,
while it keeps the railroad property in
the tunnels, out of which to make a
further profit at the city's expense.
The telephone users of the city who
gave the valuable franchise to get
telephone competition will, in the flu
ture, have to pay rates based on at
last 100000 worth of water in the
monopoly's capital account and yet
have no sign of competition in sight.
By entering into contract to sell
out to a competitor for the purpose
of destroying competition. the Illinois
Tel. & Tel. Co. has put its head in a
moose, and if the decent people of
Chicago fail to pull it tight we might
as we'll give up all hope of municipal
honesty, turn our civic affairs over
to the agents of high finance and be
thankful for the right to exist.
