Editor Frank Howe, of the Benning-

the right man to head the Republican
state ticket this year as nominee for
governor. He possesses all the necesse-
ry qualifications for the position, is a
common every day man, easy to ap-
proach and has up-to-date ideas.

Youth.
The charms Of youth at once are seen and past.
And nature says They too sweet TO last
So blooms the rose, and the blushing maid.
Be gay; too soon the noUers Of spring will fade. T"
While a woman's mirror reflects a
young. happy. laughing face. bright eyes,
red cheeks and lips. the world seems fair
to her. full OF promise. Her path Is
strewn. whichever way she turn. with
pleasures roses. She has lovers a-plenty
and no cloud darkens her sky. She
laughs at what her dear old mother says
that she should make hay while the sun
Shines
In other words, she is told that she
should choose one from her many suitors
and wed. There will be plenty of time
later on. she declares, adding that she Is
too fond OF flirting to settle down. It's
pleasing to her vanity to see that she
can take the beaux away from the other
girls; that the most desirable men are
anxious to pay court to her.
Her romantic notions are keyed up to
the highest pitch. This would-be lover
is too bashful! Another one too bold.
Another too poor to spend much money
for theater tickets. restaurant dinners,
balls or carriage hire. So on, all down
the list.
She was always on the outlook for the
better one. For the popular girl the
years seem all too short, with her sum-
mer moonlit strolls, her winters sleigh
rides and skating. She delights in chang
ing her sweethearts with the seasons.
She believes in exacting all she can out
of life
When One Benu Drops Ont of the

It's a short span between twenty and
thirty. When her attractiveness with the
younger set begins to wane. she wakes
up suddenly to the fact that she has
been wasting the most precious years of
her life. The young man whom she
would accept now for a sweetheart has
TO be almost coaxed to spend an evening
at her home. He makes no bones Of
frankly admitting his liking for the
younger set of girls. She feels out of
place in the company of the younger
maids Her mirror has begun to tell her
a differept story of late. There is a
strong hint of maturity on her features,
which even her dainty powder pun and
dab OF rouge cannot conceal. She finds
herself too old for the young mems ap-

TO CLEAN VELVET.

Before putting away your velvet suit it
should be cleaned. First brush the article

clear of other objects. Turn the hot
water on in the bathtUb and close the
room up tight for about a half hour.

Because a woman does not realize the
Importance of correct proportions, is one

complete success
For instance. She sees two colors,
perfectly blended in the right proper
tions. admires the combination very
much and decides to copy it, but in her
own way regardless of proportions-not
Willingly, but because of ignorance-and
finds the effect so different from the
original that she cannot understand it.
She has used the very same colors, she
argues Why are the results not the
same?
Supposing the combination of dark red
and navy blue is in question. These
shades always go well together, but only
the slightest knowledge of color com
hination will convey the impression that
the blue must predominate. The blue
dress must be trimmed with red, and
not red dress trimmed with blue. Just
close your eyes and think of the effect
Of the different proportions and be con-
WINGED. This is an example Of the proper
proportions of color
Tones, too. must be selected with eau

red loses the slightly violet tinge seen

while the red will be intensified placed
side by side with blue. Because OF
these conditions. / repeat again, do not
buy trimmings unless sample OF the
goods to be trimmed is on hand. What

may be three shades lighter when placed
on the blue -
an infinite variety of tints formed by
combining certain proportions of these

shades, of which olive green is an ex-
