PARCEL POST PAYS.

According to the opinion of postal
officials the parcel post service will
more than pay its own way, and there
is reason for the belief that a large
surplus will be reported at the end of
the fiscal year. The new regulations
are working so well in New York that
the mails are practically as heavy now
as they usually are at Christmas time
and the peope are getting the service
at a much less expense than would be
involved if the express companies
handled the business.
1t took long time for this country
TO be able TO overcome the opposition
of those who saw their profits menaced
10y the parcel post, but the victory was
finally won. The service is by Nc
means perfect as yet, but it is very
accommodating, and further improve
ments will be provided, as their need
is demonstrated.
The possibilities of the post are fai
from being realized as vet in the
United States and the first year I
business will be only a fraction oil
what is done when the facilities ar,
fully appreciated.

this book is to be found i'll its biog-
raphies, its descriptions of the present
state of jews throughout the world,
and in its elucidation of Talmudic
law. On all these points it gives
first hand information of a kind and to

OUR QUESTION BOX
How to Tell Edible Mushrooms.

the edible mushrooms from poison va

Someone once said that the only
way to tell mushrooms from toad
stools was to eat them and see if YOU
died. While this may be true of a
few varieties of the fungus which re-
semble each other so closely that an
expert is not always sure, the more
common varieties of edible and poi
sonous fungi may readily be distin

The question Of petticoats is most

a girl is to acquire even that semi
clothed look that is rather expected Of
her, for her colored stockings will
show at the knees If she wears lace

skirts-however, a band Of ribbon
about six or seven inches wide can be
run on fiat at the knees and will great

other wide ribbon may be worn

arms and will bring out the lace bras.

The sailor takes on various forms
this season. One smart model is made
of glistening black rubber. The hat
has a shapely crown and the narrow,
slightly rundown brim is lined in red
itaffeta. For riding, sailor and con-
.tinental shapes are the popular sum-
mer hats, but for winter and formal

place. English women rather like q

Some good models have wide brims
hrooping slightly all round and trimmed
simply with a band of black velvet.
