cockins and Happiness.

Harper's Weekly: The conclusion
of the Kansas Agricultural college
that domestic science makes against
divorce is based on figures that are
not wide enough to be conclusive, but
are nevertheless in accord with reason.
The figures are that S29 girls have
been graduated in twenty years n
all have taken the course in domestic
science. Four hundred and twenty
seven have married n only four
have been divorced, two Of the four
~remarrying their former husbands.
There is now in many places a move
ment to make the domestic science
course a part of the public school

interested in running her home Il

Ihls life is a wonderful thing
AS we who are living it know,
some of us chuckle and sing
Whlle others are weighted with woe;
Iheres nothing as bright as it seems
And little as dark as it looks,
Yet it isn't so vexing
ana strange and pe~rplexing
And queer as they make it in books.
The world is a wonderful place &
Whose marvels will never be known: .
TO some full of beauty and grace,
To others a horror in stone.
There's magic in sunshine and cloud
And music in breezes and brooks,
But perhaps it's as we'll on
The whole we don't dwell on
h world as it's painted in books.
And Loves a mysterious force,
With strings in abysses profound,
That guides every star in it's course
And lightens the earth's weary round;
1t batters all barriers down
That separate mobiles and cooks,
Yet in life Master Cupid
Is feeble and stupid,
Compared with his portrait in books.
The girl is a treasure whose worth
'Twere vain to attempt to declare,
There's nothing that's precious on
earth
That can with her value compare;
She charms by her science and art,
And lures by the dainties she cocks,
But good-by to her lover
If he should discover
The goddess depicted in books.

French houses are predicting
the basque for the not distant flu
ture, and while 1t La a little early
to say whether 1t will be unlver-
sally adopted, the costume OF the
sketch looks very much like a
forerunner. 1t was worn at one Of
the races held near Paris very re-
Gently.
The long tunic OF the skirt,
which reaches to within three or
four inches of the skirt proper, is
extremely full and Is indicative of
the shorter and wider skirt which
may soon become popular. The ef-
feet Of this tunic is very new and
smart. The material used for the
costume was a very soft and light
quality duvetyn in a dark shade
Of blue. A little roll collar of
white organdie finished the neck.
and a touch of the same material
was introduced on the cuffs. The
only trimming was a half dozen
medium sized black buttons, which
started at the V-shaped neck and
extended almost the length OF the
waist, and this was pulled down
loosely over the hips and gave
somewhat the effect of the loose
girdles which we are now wearing.

The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1914-10-19

Like the courageous manly man
and clear-headed statesman that he
is, Senator John Sharp Williams, of
Mississippi, at the final hour in the
debate Saturday on the war revenue
bill, said that he didn't propose to
be one of the small bunch of Demo-
cratic senators combining with the
Republicans to defeat that indis-
pensable emergency measure for the
sake of an impossible cotton relief
amendment tackled on to 1t. The
war revenue bill will become law,
and it is fortunate for the Demo-
cratic party, now responsible to the
country for the solvency of the gov
eminent, that it will. Republican
orators and newspapers could ask no
better issue to 60 before the coun-
try on and demand the defeat of
the Democratic party in the Novem-
Der elections than the fact that q
Democraticc congress had defeated the
war revenue bill necessary to raise
money to pay the current expense of
the government, because Southern
Democratic congressman couldn't
get legislation to help a special class
in the South.
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1914-10-19

The injury to the phosphate bust
ness in Polk county by the European
war has been greatly exaggerated
and some people seem to be under
the impression that that industry
has been almost closed down and
nearly all the employees discharged.
This is a mistake. Most of the mines
are working right along and the fol-
lowing from the Tampa Times is an
accurate statement of conditions:
''The phosphate situation in Polk
county is Frightening. This industry
was injured more than any other in
the State by the European war; but
it is reviving. Nearly all the mines
are working, although with reduced
forces. Some few are working almost
full force. One establishment reports
orders for eight heavy cargoes for
foreign shipment, all to be sent to
British ports. All of those that re-
port working forces reduced say that
business is continually improving
and they hope soon to increase to
their regular complement of men.
The outlook is decidedly propitious
and encouraging.
