responsible for the lampshade tunic and
many other innovations in the autumn
styles, must realize that there are things
oriental-and things oriental. for the
costumes in lie Mnaret' are marked by
simplicity in color and design.
It has been the custom with many wom-
en- to excuse a too-vivid color scheme
on the ground that 'it was SO oriental. ="
A coy corner in the old days was fitted
up with a glazing collection of brightly
colored articles and called oriental.
Fortunately. those days have gone. But
even now we put bright, red-grounded
Persian rug, vivid blue Chinese vase,
couple of cushions covered with as
many sorts of silk in eastern" colors, a
COPY of vivid fresco from Pompeii and
drapery of some gaudy stuff from India
and call it oriental-therefore, beautiful.
We console ourselves when we realize
that the hard blue sash we have chosen
for bright red dress is too gorgeous
by saying that it is oriental.
On and on we 60, abusing the word
and at the same time the taste of our
eastern brothers.

Caring for the Teapot.

IF the teapot smells musty, it has not
been properly washed. or else 1t has
not been properly dried. 1t should be put
away with the lid open, to permit the air
to reach the inside. 1t is a good plan to
fill the teapot once a week with hot water,
add lump of baking soda, close the
lid, and let it stand a while to steam thor
oughly inside. Rinse with clear water.
Nearly all metal teapots will corrode or
rust slightly when put away for time.
To prevent this. fill them with flour It
will keep them dry, and will not admit
the least moisture.

To Dress the Neck.

A BAND Of fancy ribbon for the neck,
topped with a narrow edge of fur,
fastens at the left side under a fiat
bow of the ribbon. one edge Of which
is fur trimmed. On no type Of neck
wear does narrow fur trimming show
of to better advantage than on a
gracefully draped hchu. Many such
fichus are made of embroidered net or
chiffon. Some of them have a wide
throat band of black velvet, together
with q fichu -jabot finish.

first the child spends his penny every

there comes a day when he wants to buy

two different ways are open to him

penny as usual; second. to wait three

He finally decides to buy the toy at

The Farmers Need.

The farmer recognizes the needs Of
better roads and realizes how much
such roads would contribute 70 their
comfort and prosperity. Good roads
save dollars and cents to the farmer.
Bad roads make farming improbable
and undesirable. Bad roads increase
the solitude Of country life and limit
the opportunities Of the farmer. Good
roads bring him into closer touch with
the center Of progress. Good roads en-
nance the value, Of farm land. beautify
the country and advance the farmer In
his social. religious and educational de-
velopment. Good roads are the ave-
nues Of trade which lessen the trans
portation Of marketable products. Good
roads are the cords that bind the city
and the country. together In thrift. In
duetFy and inteltkence. Good roads

RURAL SCHOOLS AND ROADS.

impossible Highways Seriously Handi-
cap the Country ChiId's Progress.
The most serious charge yet lodged
against the rural school is that the
rate of rural illiteracy is twice the
urban rate, despite the fact that three
fourths of Jul immigrants are in the
cities. and illiteracy among native
born children Of native parentage is
more than three times as great as
among native children of foreign born
parentage, says A. G. MOnahan Of the
federal bureau of education.
With 100000 one teacher school
houses. of which 5000 are log build
ings. we face the fact that the rural
school is alarmingly neglected. Al
though more than 60 per cent Of the
children Of the entire country are en-
rolled in country schools. the aggre-
gate attendance is only 81 per cent.
Inquiry as to why children do not at
tend school longer in many communi-
ties will almost invariably bring the
reply that bad roads. bfockades Of
mud, snow drifts, washed out bridges
and the discouraging factor Of long
tramps through the cold weather keep
them away. Even the consolidated
school Is limited in its usefulness by
the impossible highway.
While the one room school and the
inexperienced teacher are serious de-
fects, we should put most Of the blame
where it belongs-on our abominable
highways-which had better in most
cases be called lowways. With good
roads the little red schoolhouse might
free itself Of many Of the charges it
now bears.-Country Gentleman.
