PERFORATED FOR SHORTER LENGTH.
 Girls will like this pretty, graceful wrap both for evening and afternoon use and it is fashionable for both purposes. It can be made from silk or from satin, from light colored broadcloth or from the dark colored, durable material of street wear and it is always handsome, always be- coming and always smart. The neck finish makes an especially youthful fea- ture. In the illustration, shrimp pink charmeuse satin is lined with white. Since the cape requires only two short darts for its fitting, it is the simplest possible garment to make. Girls who are planning wardrobes for return to college and school will be especially interested in these prac- tical features. .,,
 For the Is year size, the long cape will require 5k yds. of material .77, yds 3o, 3X yds. 44 in. wide; the short cape PA yds. 77, 7K yds. 3e, 2 yds. A in. wide;
 The pattern S346 is cut in one size for r6 or 18 wears. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of ten cents.

Hats of the Manet epoch-day or the '.lass with the delicate air and the demurely coquettish glance-are among the appealing small shapes ln- troduced for early autumn. These chapeaux of the narrow brim, rolled closely against a moderately high rounded crown, are oftenest seen covered with satin and trimmed sparsely albeit not always in strictly Manet style.
 One fetching creation in black carries an exceptionally tall double fantasie whose roots project down. ward from either side of the crowns apex but at it's extreme back, and whose ends are crossed at half their length. Slender and short twin fan tasies, root crossed at the front-cen- ter base of the crown and projecting over the brim's low sides, lend feathery, intangible softness to the hats sides.
 The Manct Chapeau Elaborate.
 Thus treated, the Manet is more elaborate than it ever previously has been. Because 1t has proved itself worthy of exquisite garnishings, it may confidently be expected to appear later in tones matching really elabor- ate afternoon costumes. The model described is excellent in all white and is precisely the chapeau needed to re- place the one in straw or chip earlier provided to accompany the church going costume. Nevertheless, it will be useful for many occasions and will certainly be seen at various open-air events this autumn with another moderately high-crowned small shape.
 The brim of the latter hat. how ever, is a trife wider and it does not roll all round. One side, the left, only Is turned upward fatly. The other side is as 1atly depressed Nothing coquettish about this shape. It is posed evenly and owes all of it's style to the severity of it's air and the placing of it's trimmings. Decidedly military looking are those trimmings and as simply posed as cockade. One Lewis model in white beaver is faced with blue velvet and carries against it's crowns. front center the tallest of pheasant fantasies.
 White Beavers Are Plentiful
 White beavers are as plentiful just now as are satin-covered hats and equally light of weight. For all of the new felts are fine and flexible as any in woven fabric, and in the white or pale tones are eagerly purchased since it has become generally known that they can be easily cleaned
 To these shapes the soft breast feathers of pheasants and doves seem better adapted than are stiff wings At the same time, number of wings are being used as we'll as interrogation mark-tipped coque quills. The latter usually apear in pairs, frequently posed to point dia- gonally in opposite directions
 Iridescent cherries enliven many an autumn hat. Contrasted with either a light or a dark tone they are wonderfully effective. A good ex- ample of their decorative value is seen in French model in black vel vet. This hat, one of the various plays upon the Vatican, has a mod erately wide brim faced with black satin, close rolled against a low crown, cross trimmed with diago- na1ly posting couue quills rooted un- der mass of iridescent cherries. Correctly posed far toward the left. this shape covers that side of the head and almost wholly exposes the

A False Standard of Culture

has gained ground in this century which looks upon the bearing and rearing of children as something coarse and vulgar and to be avoided, but the advent of Eugenics means much for the motherhood of the race. Happy is the wife who, though weak and ailing, depends upon Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to restore her to health, and when head aches and backaches are a thing of the past, brave sons and fair daugh- ters rise up and call her blessed.

The salt rub is a fine thing when fatigued. Put a few pounds of coarse salt sea salt by preference, in an earthen jar, then pour enough water on it to produce a sort of slush, but not enough to dissolve the salt. This should be taken up in handfuls and rubbed briskly over the entire person. Then take a thorough touching of clear water, preferably cold, and a brisk rubbing with a dry towel The effect of elation and renewed life Is immediately felt and the skin will have a satiny texture.

It is not a bad idea for the house. wife to have in each room of her house a piece of unfinished sewing or knitting. This may be gracefully done by making a pretty little work bag. which can be hung on the back of a chair, the corner of the bookcase or mantelpiece in each room. This Is convenient and at the same time adds a pretty touch of color to the room.

A MUDDLED DECISION.
Judge Holds Minnesota's Minimum
Wage to Be Unconstitutional.

Wage to Be Unconstitutional.
Commenting ON Judge Catins de-
cision that Minnesota's minimum wage
law is unconstitutional and enjoining
the state from putting the act in opera
ton. the New York World says:
The learned Judge who held Min
nesota's minimum wage law to be I'M
constitutional seems to have had Il
mixture of motives-or reasons-but
to have been utterly determined that
the law was Il bad thing. In the first
place. the actual working of the law
would be likely to increase immortality,
if morals are dependent on wages
Just what business that is Of any
judge no constitution undertakes to
say, but it appears to have been an
argument against the validity of this
particular law.
In the second place. the law, instead
of fixing hlindly minimum rate OF
wages, delegated power to commits
sion to investigate and determine rates
Minnesota may have Il constitution so
worded that this is contrary to its pro
procedure in many other states. Also
the "ahliGgaeGt of the right of the
individual 10 contract. held to be an
other unconstitutional feature of the
measure, has not been so held in Ore
gOn
Save for the fact that it applied to
males under twenty one as we'll aS To
women and children. MinnesotaS was
one of the mildpSt of the minimum
wage laws passed in 1913 1t was II
tentative. experimental sort of statute
The legislature which enacted the
law was commonly held to have been
moderate to Il degree. though wise in
recognizing the need of such protection
for workers. Judge Catlin's decision
indicates that something is seriously
wrong with the states constitutional
it's courts Just what, and which. the
supreme court may show on the appeal
from this decision.

law compensation payments cease
when an employee is able to resume

out that the compensation awarded Is
insufficient in many cases. Fracture OF
an arm or a leg led to compensation
payments of less than $25. the loss OF
an eye $25 to $50 and in the case Of II
