REST HOUR MOST IMPORTANT
As Presever of Health and Beauty 1t
Must on No Account Be
Neglected.

If you are a wise woman and wish
to preserve your beauty you will not
neglect to take rest hour during the
day.
Go to your room, don a comforta Bile
negligea and stretch out on the bed
with the l:ghtest and frothiest Of nov
els guaranteed to induce slumber.
Or If by chance it doesn't why lie
still. and relax in mind and body any
how. and you'll rise feeling years
younger and ready for anything. But
somnolence is sure to come as soon
as YOU get in the habit of taking an
afternoon nap.
The best rest hour is in the after
noon just before dinner. You feel the
need of it most then, and there Is
always dressing to follow, which will
cast aside the last trace of heaviness
that some people have for a short
time after the unusual daytime nap.

giving his evidence, described the tes-

fNow, sir" said counsel for the de-
tense, II suppose we may take it,
from the 1attering description you
have given of the testator, his good
points, and his personal appearance
generally, that you were Intimately

Indeed. Well, then, you must have
observed him very carefully whenever
you saw him." pursued counsel
'I never saw him in my life" was
the reply.
This prevarication, as counsel
thought it, was too n1uch, and he
said:
NOW, now, don't trife with the
court, please! How, ask you, could
you, in the name of goodness, describe
him so infinitely if you never saw him
or never knew him."

HAVE AN OLD-FASHIONED AIR
Styles In Nantes Have Gone Back to
Those Popular With Our Grand
mothers.

In tone one of the flowers, may be
used as lining. the color glimmering
through the creamy yelling in most
artistic manner. On some of the more
unusual nantes the designs are de-
veloped on a coarse net in crewels.
These nantes are very vague in
outline, being wound or wrapped
around the figure with the fullness
falling between the shoulders and the
knees. The sleeves-when there are
sleeves-are of kimono cut, or at least
are kimono at the top. with hint
of the bishop sleeve at the cuff. Quite
as often there are no sleeves, Sits in
the goods serving as an opening, or
drapings falling In such way that the
arms may be released. Some of the
Inantles are fastened at the waist
line, even lower at one SIDE and 9TH

held up in the front in a seemingly
careless fashion. There Is a certain

seems to appeal, for the latest models
for winter are arranged in this way.
the fastening-if there is one-not be-
ing noticeable.
The feature of the new nantes
which are heralding the styles for fall
is the collar, according to a New
York Tribune writer. There is no at
tempt at fitting in the collar. After
the many, many years when the fit of
the collar made or marred the gar
ment, it is a bit startling to learn that
the collar would not fit The bunchier,
thicker and clumsier the collar is, the
smarter the wrap becomes Natural
ly, it gives a very thickset look to the
back of the neck The effect can be
produced in fur very easily, and.
strange to relate, it does not look as
clumsy in the fur. One naturally ex
poets a fur collar to be thickset. The
new fur collars are straight pieces Of
the fur which very often only cross
the back Of the wrap Occasionally
they roll toward the front and join
band of fur that is used to outline
the edges.

her constant warning. And one day
Macedonia will be lost to us through
the evil deeds of our wild propagan
dists."
Saw impending Disaster.
She was probably the only person
who knew whittier Ferdinand's secret
hopes tended, and she foretOld that
disaster would come at the moment
when his star seemed most in the as
cendant. When in the recent war
luck turned against him, the soldiers
murmured among themselves: Sure
ly this is what our princess foretold.
Every sin demands it's punishment"
After her death, King Ferdinand,
DESTROYS of restoring the great state
functions which were a vital feature
of his court, looked around for hos
tess who would share the throne,
which from being princely had now
been raised to the status of royalty.
But it was not easy for him to find
mate. No Catholic princess would
give her hand; he made several over
lures at the Russian court, but there
was no Grand Duchess forthcoming.
Finally, however, a Protestant prin-
cess of the House of Reuss consented
to abandon her spinsterhood and oc-
cupy the place left vacant nine years
ago by Marie Louise.
Though unpossessed of her pre-
decessor's winning charm, she has
nevertheless done great and good
work in Bulgaria. During the recent
war her devotion to the wounded was
unbounded, but it is well known that
her married life is by no means hap
by, her relations with her husband be-
ing markedly strained
Ferdinand himself has never con-
cealed the fact that, in spite of their
differences, his heart and allegiance
are with the princess, whose shade
hovers round him, admonishing and
shielding. Confident of her never
failing assistance, he alone is not
afraid to confront the stately specter
who trails her diaphanous draperies
along the corridors of the palace that
witnessed the tragic disillusionment
of her hopes.

Dressy models have short or three
quarter length sleeves, but many of
the blouses for ordinary wear with
tailored skirts have sleeves to the
wrist. The three-quarter sleeve is
usually deliberately trimmed with fare
cuff and plated frills or box plaitings
of chiffon or net. Buttons also trim
the sleeves of lace and net models
Long sleeves are sometimes set in full
style with very low armholes, the
sleeve fullness starting midway be-
tween shoulder and elbow, while the
lower edge of the sleeve is gathered
into bracelet-cuff finished by frill
This is q type of sleeve rather trying
to short-waisted woman, who should
select a closer fitting sleeve set into
the shoulder in raglan fashion, or hav-
ing elongated shoulder sections that
extend down over the sleeve to give
the essential long line.
One extremely attractive blouse
shown among the snail sketches was
of embroidered lace over maline trim
med with purple velvet The collar
was sailor shaped at the back, crossed
over the shoulders and extended down
to the waist line at each side of the
front. The velvet gradually narrowed
from shoulders to waist line until at
the lower part there was but line of
the velvet visible. There was a vest
of maline ornamented by clusters OF
loops Of narrow purple velvet ribbon.

BLOUSE HIGH IN FAVOR
DAME FASHION HAS SET HER
SANCTION ON GARMENT.
Variation In Garniture Adds Distlnc-
ton to Most Comfortable Garment

The woman who rejoices in a va

and no one can possess too many.
Blouses themselves are in fact SIM
ply backgrounds against which are
posed the more interesting details of
vests, collars, cuffs and sashes. The
sash is a paramount feature Of the
new blouse, and effects a happy har-
mony between it and the accompany
ing skirt Plaid and checked blouses
show broad crushed sashes of the ma
terial knotted at one side Of the waist
and falling In short ends over the
skirt, giving very pleasing length of
line to the figure and doing away with
the chopped off look that shortwaisted
women sometimes have in high-waist-
ed skirt worn over blouses of light ma
terial
Another feature that gives length of
line to the figure Is the coattail. This
coattail motif is used with excellent
effect on some dressy blouses design
ed for wear at the matiness or after
noon bridge, with tailored costumes Of
velvet or broadcloth. A white char
meuse blouse, for example, has a pleat-
ed coattail attached at the back of
the waist under three satin colored
buttons, the sides and fronts of the
blouse being in cutaway bolero style,
opening over an under blouse and
short peplum Of pleated white chiffon.

ed around the waist and fastens under

Think 1t Over.

Does It help to say the world is going
wrong?
Does bitterly complaining make you
strong?
Does it ever help your case
To display a dismal face
When others win the triumphs that to-
you, indeed belong?
Does it help you to grumble when the
clouds are low;
Does hopelessness diminish any woe?
Do you ever, when in grief,
Find sweet comfort or relief
In boring everybody whom you have the
luck to know?
Does it help you when your ventures fan
to pay
To advertise your sorrow or dismayf
Does ii ever profit you
When you happen to be blue
To spend your time in trying to make
others feel that way?

That is, in appearance.
Even the guests represent them.
Vegetable decorations are not novel,
but carrots made of yellow cheese are.
A garden basket of spun sugar with
ice cream vegetables for dessert is an
other.
And women represent heads Of let
tuce and radishes, with crinkly green
tissue paper leaves.
The men are lanky ears Of corn
dressed in barred yellow paper and
they are also cucumbers and stalks of
celery.

But had laundering for wealth.
Her cheeks were red. her eyes were

She wished she might be richly dressed.

Below him he beheld the maid.
And tried to stop, and swooped and

She hurried where the spring gushed up,
And filled her little old tin cup.
At first she thought the judge was dead,
But she splashed the water on his head.
He looked upon his aeroplane
And said some things that gave Maud
pain.
AT last he rose and, with a frown,
He started for the distant town.
Then bringing himself to halt,
He said: This, girl, is all your fault
IF you had not been raking here,
I'd have stayed in the atmosphere.

sport;
I'll fine you for contempt of COURT
He then went onward up the lane.
And Maud returned to work again.
She gazed upon his wrecked machine.

ROMANCE KILLED AT LAST
Notograph, a New instrument, Invent
ed for Expressing Stupid Love
Letters.

Romance, poor dying romance you
have fought hard for your golden life
against the ever growing forces of
modernity, but they have killed you
with a hideous old continuance of met
a. and lever, point and wheel, that
they, the selfish moderns, term the
photograph. Farewell, Romance; those
of the future will think they have no
use for you.
Progress, they term 1t, these mod.
ems. The age they live in they seek
to dignity with the ugly word "utili.
tartan" 1t has nothing in common
with the ages and starlit nights, of
scented love notes flung from the
flower-clad balcony as throbbing
strains rose from the guitar beneath.
These moderns find roof of steel and
glass better than your velvet skies; a
glazing blue-white arc electric light
more in keeping than your mellow sun
sets. And your scented letters of love,
the last of your attributes they have
stripped from you, they are replacing
by his barbarity, the photograph, a
thing that knows so little Of you that
it will not even hide the tender senti-
ments you were wont to inspire from
the ribald laughter of vulgar crowd.
Love will go on you murmur with
your dying breath, "even the noto-
graph (the word comes hardly to your
soft, red lips), even the photograph can
not kill that" Girls and boys will
their messages to one another through
the glazing publicity of the window of
an automatic machine. Perhaps, Ro-
nance, but will their love be the sa-
cred thing you know? Were not Sc
crecy and confidence the very life
blood of that precious thing.
