GOOD TUB MATERIALS
WIDE VARIETY OF SUMMER WASH
FABRICS DISPLAYED.
Some Wonderfully Effective CombIna
tions Are Possibe-Descriptlon Of
One Model That viii Be Found
Exceedingly Serviceable.

There isn't doubt in my mind that
our own shops at home are making
quite as splendid display OF summer
wash fabrics as are the ones here in
Paris, writes correspondent, and II

tub materials as cotton velour, wash
able gabardines and whipcords
eponge, beach cloth, tango crepe and .
number Of others.
Wonderfully effective are combina
tions of one of these rather heavy
weaves with any of the sheer voiles
or marquisettes, with possibly q
touch Of hemstitching at the seams
or a bit of hand embroidery to LEND
color and contrast Interesting as all
these newer materials are, our old
standbys, the Irish and French linens
hold just the same place at the tor
OF the list that they always have; and
now that the color card has expanded
considerably they seem to be even
more satisfactory than before for good.

In this design we will consider 1t first.
The front corners are turned back to

triangular tab, simply embroidered

be back
AS Flora had book to read, she sat
down on the nicely cushioned rear
seat, and made herself comfortable as
soon as Harry and Toby showed off in
the skff.
Once or twice she looked shoreward
when she heard the report Of Harry 8
gun, Knowing that he was doing
havoc among the ducks.
At last she got drowsy, and lying
back on the soft cushions, with the
breeze tanning her white forehead, she
fell asleep.
How long she slept, poor Flora did
not know, but her waking was very
rude, for 1t came by immersion.
A huge surge Of salt water, dashing
over the quarter of the boat, drenched
her from head to foot, and as she
sprang to her feet, she found that the
boat, already out of sight of land, was
driving stern first to sea, heading with
the mainsail set, to a furious north
west gale.
Oh, where was Harry now to set the
other sail and head for a harbor?
This was F1ora's thought, and then
came the prayer from her lips:
Heaven help me, or am lost"
The day was far advanced, and soon
riubt would ha ,,Do, p;1bf In n
gale, drifting out upon the rough At
lantic.
Flora dared not lower the sail.
Well, indeed, was 1t for her that she
did not do 1t. This kept head to wind
and sea, the boat rode easy, and
though taking in a little water now
and then aft, whence 1t ran off by the
scuppers, was yet very safe.
"Oh, what will Harry do when he
finds l am adrlft." sobbed Flora. Il
know he will follow me to sea in that
tiny skiff, and he will be lost"
Flora was right Harry did follow
her to sea in that tiny skiff. Toby Dit
son was too cowardly to risk the voy-
age, and he was left ashore when Har-
ry started to follow the sloop when
he saw her adrift.
1t was terrible task for Harry to
row out over the rough water after
the fast-drifting yacht. With blistered
hands he struggled on and just before
dark he got within hail, so nearly ex-
hausted that Flora barely heard his
cry to lower the mainsail, or he could
not reach her
Fortunately she had seen him do 1t,
and she sprang to the halyards as she
heard his cry.
The sail soon came tumbling down
by the run, and in minute afterward
Harry was aboard, with Flora's arms
around him.
Quickly he had two reefs In the
mainsail, the bonnet off the lib, and
the vessel heading In west by north,
as close to the wind as he could hold
her.
All night at the helm Harry sat pa
tiently, while Flora made hot coffee in
the little cabin for both.
At day dawn the Highlands Of Nave
sink were in sight, and by noon Harry
and Flora were once more at home.

GymnasiOn Extension,

At meeting of the executive
Committee of the Gymnasium last
Friday evening two very important
steps were taken which will greatly
add to the efficiency of this institu-
ton. 1t was decided to engage a
physical director. for at least one

ranged that the building be opened
to the girls and women of Decoran

Mrs. Mcintyre will be continued if
the present plan is carried out. Any
ladies who care to join this move

made arrangements that FRIDAY
night shall be devoted especially fol
business men. Games and exercises
appropriate for this purpose will bt

Golden Cards For Souvenirs.

A successful Moscow merchant
named Spiridonow, who had made
a vast fortune, thought OF a novel
way of inviting the guests to his
golden wedding. The invitations
were engraved on golden cards.
When the recipients opened the en-
selopes, they were naturally pleas
ed with the beautiful invitations,
but supposed that they were only
gilded. A closer examination, how
ever showed that the millionaire
had actually sent out cards OF real
gold. Monsieur Spirdonow sent In
all two hundred invitations. The
cards were made by a Moscow jewel
er by a special process, and the ma
terial was taken from a mine owned
by the millionaire. Each card was
worth about $25.

The Twilight Sleep in Iowa.

The other day at a Des Moines hos
pital child was born and well born
without the knowledge of its mother
who appears to have gained her first
knowledge that she had brought a
new life into the world when the
nurse presented the baby to her next
morning. 1t was the first birth III
Iowa under the twilight sleep which
mas been attracting the attention OF
the world and particularly Of that sex
who recreate the world in agony,
says the Marshalltown Times-Repub-
lican.
That is what makes it an event. Il
this case has been correctly described
and the results OF the treatment prop
erly stated it is news that women Of
Iowa may welcome with great JOY
Childbirth in many instances is as
dangerous and vastly more agonizins
than a severe surgical operation. So
when child is born in Iowa painless
ly and beautifully under the semi-an-
aesthesia of the twilight sleep 1t
brings a promise to millions of wom-
en- and offers surcease of world old
pain.
If it be true that this treatment is
one that may be readily learned and
conducted by physicians Of ability 4
great fortune and high prominence
awaits the medical man who shall es-
tablish and successfully operate a
twilight sleep hospital in Iowa.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Milwaukee Passenger Train Runs In
to Team Driven by Mrs. Sam
Richards.

Last Wednesday afternoon when
the Milwaukee passenger was pulling
out for Calmar at $3.50, a serious ac-
cident happened On the Broadway
crossing near the Ingvoldstad Lum-
Der yard. Mrs. Sam Richards of
Pleasant township had just driven
out of the Ingvoldstad lumber yard
with load Of cement, latin, ETC., and
started east for home. She reached
the railroad track as the train was
approaching the crossing, but, as we
understand it, she heard no bell ring
ing, and just drove On to the cross
engine struck the team and wagon,
breaking the wagon up considerably,
and injuring one horse. One Of the
animals hind leg was caught by the
engine, which was immediately
stopped and backed up, dragging the
horse with it. Fortunately the team
turned south tying to avoid the
train, for if it hadn't, a more disas-
trous accident would have occurred.
Mrs Richards was injured, in the
turning over of the wagon, but we
understand was not struck by the en-
CINE. She was taken to her home,
and is considerably bruised and shak-
On up, although there was no bonts
broken. The shock was severe one,
and her many friends hore she will
recover completely The injured
horse is at l.. ]. Anderson's feed barn
and veterinarians are trying to save
1t, but its leg is badly injured, AMI
the chances are small for it. Quite
number of Gcplorable accidents
have happened on different crossin gs
of the Milwaukee in the city limits of
DEBORAH, during the past few years,
and 1t is beginning to look as if the
crossings will have to be guarded
better in the future, with gates or
fiagmen.

The Humble Pumpkin.

The pumpkin figures neither on
the board of trade, nor crop statis-
tics. Scientific agriculturists do not
lecture about 1t, and railroads do
hot count upon the pumpkin crop as
likely to cause car shortage. The
pumpkin occasionally wins prizes in
county fairs, but it excites the HUI
morous interest of the layman rath-
er than the wrapt attention Of the
expert. The pumpkin grows be-
tween corn rows without any partic-
ular attention, and is seldom har-
vested. Most farmers would sooner
think of charging a thirsty traveller
for a drink from the we'll than to put
a price on a pumpkin that friend
from town might crave.
OF all humble vegetables Of the
field the pumpkin is the humblest.
but when skillful housewife cuts
up a yellow pumpkin, boils its It's
sues, mixes with the mass some mo-
lasses and adds spices then bakes it
in a pie plate he produces a dish the
odor of which is sweeter than were
ever ambrosial perfumes to the gods
on Olympus, and the taste of which
would delight palate wearied with
the tabled pastries of Arabia.
Nothing is so good as pumpkin
pie. The only thing that prevents 1t
from becoming a staple article OF
food is the failure Of the United
States government to valorize the
pumpkin crop.

THE COUNTRY MOTHERS.
Have Cited Many Ways in Which to
Help Their Community.
(By observer. Z"

| (By observer.
No fair minded man or woman is
going to censor those good women
III rural districts for the interest they
take in the churches in their respec-
tive communities, but we do some
times wonder why an equal interest
| is not taken in the rural schools by
the patrons.
1t is not enough to elect or ap-
point a board of directors, who in
turn employ teacher, and then
turn the whole school system over
to them. We do not believe any
board of directors wish to assume
the entire responsibility for school
welfare, and certainly no individual
! teacher does.
In the cities and towns women's
clubs, or at least civics leagues do
much toward improving school life.
Happily, too, these clubs are being
formed among country women, and
there is no reason why the women
of every rural community should
not have their own little club for
the moral and educational welfare
of their community.
Mrs. Emma Gary Wallace, who
conducts the Home and School Club
Work department of the American
Motherhood magazine, is persistent
ly urging these local organizations
among the mothers of country
school districts.
There may be those readers of
the Public Opinion who will think
Mrs. Wallace's views too modern"
to be practical in this community,
but they are not. If the methods of
supervision that were in vogue twen-
ty or forty years ago are allowed to
rule in this day, then We should ex-
pect no better results than were oh
tanned twenty-or forty years ago
and the boy or girl of today cannot
get very far in the business, or even
social world if he or she leaves
school with the three RS" that
were everything in education forty
years ago.
Mrs. Wallace suggests a Rural
Mothers club look after the follow
ing items connected with the school
or schools in their district:
Every east, south and west win
dow should have a shade so that
bright light need never shine direct
ly on the blackboard or in the pupils
eyes.
Outhouses should be carefully SUI
perviaed, the approaches screened
and weekly disinfection with chlor,
ide of Lime insisted upon.
4 Sometimes the wells go a long time
without being cleaned. This should
not be, and individual drinking re-
loeptacles should be used.
hC oeHOol SIiCulu Dc IuTulSucu
with receptacle for liquid soap
which is both economical and SAM
tary. Wash basin and paper towels
also should be had.
During cold weather provisions
should be made that children could
have warm drink with their meals
at noon. Vacuum bottles will solve
this problem if it can be done in no
cheaper way.
These and many other thing
could easily be done for the COM
fort and health of school children,
and as we feel sure the rural mo-
theirs are just as resourceful as their
city sisters, the taxpayers need not
be alarmed by the suggestion.
