 The word 'trousseau'' can be spoken in a woman's presence for many years with no effect, but it is an awful shock when she first really hears it.. I felt funny all afternoon as I packed those trunks for the 5 o'clock train.
 Yes, the word ''trousseau'' ought to have definite surname after it al- ways and that's why my loyalty drag ged poor MT. Garter out into the light of my conscience. The thinking of him had strange effect on me. I had laid out the dream in dark gray blue rajah, tailored almost beyond endur- ance, to wear home on the train and had thrown the old black tafPeta bag across the chair to give to the hotel maid, but the decision of the session between conscience and loyalty made me pack the precious blue wonder and put on once more the black rags of re- membrance in a kind of panic of re- spect.

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS

Be Sure You Look Right at the Back
UT back hair tidy?

Is your back hair tidy?
 How many times do you fix your self up so that you look fine from the front; your face has been mass aged, your hair is combed becomingly in front-your teeth are immaculate. your eyebrows brushed and your pow der is on straight" but you have forgotten to look at the back of your head and your collar is pinned awry, your shirt waist has a button off, and your hair is all stragg1y. Per haps the back of your neck is soiled, and you allow these ugly defects to your beauty to exist just because you have neglected to look at yourself from all sides.
 I have often ridden behind women on street cars that know would have been greatly mortified had they known how neglected and unkempt they look ed from where I sat Their hair was not conbed up in tidy fashion or at least it was not dressed becoming1y.
 Many women have hair that grows softly and pretti1y at the back of their necks. The women who have this beauty should wear their hair high as. according to artists. there is nothing about 8, woman more beautiful than the nape of her neck.
 If your hair is very straight and does not grow nicely at the back. then the clever woman covers up this de- feet by wearing her hair low in the back.
 If you are over thirty be very care full that you have no locks of short hair trailing down the back of your neck, for nothing denotes a woman's age more quickly than these little

ARE preparing to engage in an
"out-to-win" campaign for the
election Of "dry" officials, accord
ing to the statement Of A. A.
Phelps, the newly elected execu-
tive secretary Of the party in this
state
The national Prohibition party
I.sone months ago inangurated a
movement to enroll in the nation
Ave million voters who would
agree to support only political
party pledged to the overthrow of
the liquor traffic. The plan is be-
ing. enthusiastically received by
Prohibitionists all over the
couatry, and many of the state
organizations of the party are
making it an essential part of
their working program.
Mr.. Phelps cites Oregon as an
example Of the splendid results
being secured under this plan,
which has been in operation for
only a short time, two counties of
that state having last month cele-
brated the enrolment of thirty
6vesper cent of their total voting
population, with other counties
rapidly approaching that point.
The temperance element, it is
claimed, is now sufficiently strong
in any state to carry the elections,
il the forces would unite, instead
of separating into several political
parties as in the past.
The Prohibition state committee
believes Idaho is ripe for such a
union, and will begin an aggress-
i've campaign to that end. Party
headquarters will be opened in
