In attending the Woman's Industrial

wondered if there was really anything
in this world that was not for woman,
or that she did not have something to
do with the making or disposition Of

the age when women's hands lie idly
in their laps, for the rugs we saw WOW
en-, dresses and bonnets made, mar
malades. jams and jellies, candies,
work by children and cooking, all
showed evidence of doing.

The COWBOYS Handkerchief.

Have you ever wondered why the
cowboy pictures by painters who have
made q study Of western life depict
the man of the plains with his red
bandanna halfway down on his chest
instead of fitting snugly around his
neck?" queried a ranch owner of Cali
fornia.
III tell you. When a cowboy starts
on a long ride over the plains one OF
his principal annoyances is having to
wipe dust from his eyes. His heavy
gauntlets make 1t impossible to use
his hands. and be ties his handkerchief
loosely around his neck and when
occasion requires uses it TO clear his
eyes. II is the most convenient place
to carry the handkerchief while riding
a horse. Washington Post.
