the ether women of European royalty
are devotees of Paris fashions
Whether Paris really admired the
Irish lace yoke in one of the gowns
which Queen Mary wore during her
recent visit is a question ] cannot an
swer, but it did make the couturiers
realize that Irish crochet lace is one
Of the most effective and prettiest
laces today. Within the last few days
many of the new blouses which have
been shown have been trimmed with
irish lace, and much of the new neck
wear is also trimmed with it. And
maybe II will be introduced in some of
the sUumer frocks that are yet to
come.
Season Of Laces.
However, before the Irish lace Incl
dent this was an established fact. The
success of the long tunic is practically
responsible for the profuse usage OF
nne laces, for this tunic is frequently
made entirely of very fine ehantilly
or another of the fine laees. One OF
the most charming gowns had a
foundation Of soft. black satin and an
almost fulllength tunic of cream-col-
ored lace; and its corsage was a per
fectly plain little surplice affair of the
satin, with a narrow peplum in the
front and wide sash in the back
but its sleeves were of lace. One of
Premet's newest gowns with the long
basque had a long tunic of lace, but
this was the only bit of lace on the
costume, for the collar and decolletage
were finished with fine white net. Ber-
nard has introduced a new treatment
of lace in costume with corsage and
long tunic Of black taffeta, with an
underskirt formed of many ruffies of
white maline lace-as the tunic was
slashed full depth at the left side
these quaint little ruffles gave rather
daring but effective contract.
The loveliest of garden frocks arf
of white alencon and breton laces
And then there are some of white
linon, trimmed with filet and guipure
laces.
In neckwear the jabot and the rabat
are again seen. Undoubtedly the gen.
erous use of laces has revived these
always picturesque styles, for during
the last few seasons women have for
gotten that they ever existed. Many
are asking whether they signify the
return of high stocks. Probably.
Coats of chantilly lace have been
worn by several notable women. OF
course, this lace will make their vogue
quite limited. And let US hope that
the world at large will be willing to do
so, for coats of inexpensive laces-and
especially Irish crochet-are about the
most unsightly kind of wraps that
women have ever worn.
Birds Replace Butterflies.
Worth is accredited with having ere
ated this rather clever and surely I'M
usual idea. And, If am not mistaken,
1t was he who introduced the butter
flies of maline and jet last autumn.
The favorite bird motif Is a natural
plumage made in the shape of the
beetles wings, and 1t is mounted to
give the effect of holding in place a
draped berthe of lace. OF course, you
know that ostrich has for some time

The Secret of Badness.

The actual condition Of the scalp and
OF the hair has very much less to do
with the health OF the latter than is pop
ularly supposed. The bulbs Of the roots
OF the hair 60 down completely through
the skin and into the fatty layer which
lies between il and the skull, and the
thing that to the expert eye is really signi-
ficant OF the prospect as to progress or
cure in particular case OF badness is
not the condition, or color, or cleanli-
ness OF the scalp, but the thickness or
thinness of this fatty layer which under
lies it.
SO long as this is present and the scalp
is freely movable over the skull, there is
hope of restoring reasonable growth Of
hair; but when this fat has been absorbed
and the shiny scalp sticks as closely to
the skull as the cover on baseball, the
outlook is practically hopeless. This, Of
course, shows at once the futllity of most
of the local applications 10 and manip-
ulatioHs of the scalp, from which il suf-
fers untold torments in those who are or
imagine themselves to be becoming
bald.-Dr. Woods Hutchinson.

One Year With Poultry.

Editor Register-January l. 1913, we
had on hand p chickens, two of them
males. This number varied as chicks
were raised, sold, consumed or kept for
service. The value of the eggs obtained
was S20.l2; the returns from poultry sold
and used was $40 ga. The cost of feed
and all supplies. loss of chicks, and eggs
was $30.08. This leaves me $9.98 in
hand, and the pleasure with the fowls far
outweighed the care and labor. Besides,
the flock now on hand numbers 18, 13 of
them being thoroughbred Rhode Island
Reds.
Now this record has been given to en-
courage others, not to boast of my small
success. 1t is not the pecuniary profit,
but the feeling of pleasure awakened by
caring for pigs. poultry, or other of na-
ture'S dumb creatures that we thus secure.
Lies burdens, anxieties and disappoint-
ments are thus forgotten, at times, at
least.

UpIift Campaign In West Virginia.

The coal operators of West Virginia
are going down into their pockets to f.
nance campaign for the education and
social advancement of miners and mine
laborers.
Dean Jones, of the School OF Mines al
the State University, announced that he
had prepared these plaus for mine ex-
tension work, and he called attention TO
the tact that already great deal of work
had been done by the operators along
this line.
John Laing, former chief OF the State
Department of Mines, explaining this
work, took occasion to remark on the
advancement in methods for the preser-
vation of human life, increase in SANTA
ton and the betterment OF social condi-
tions.
"Clergymen of all creeds, whether for
white or coIored people" said Mr.. Laing,
"are being engaged at the suggestion OF
the miners and paid by the operators.
When these clergymen take up their
work they are allowed free hand, and
their influence is beginning to show it.
self, particularly with the children OF the
various mining communities. This prac-
tice OF employing clergymen is becoming
general in the State. In addition to this,
the number of Young Mems Christian
Associations is increasing. Wherever
there are Y. M. c. A. BuildingS-and all
OF them have been erected at the expense
OF the company-they are community
centers. All of them have swimming
pools and baths, free reading rooms, lee
ture rooms, gymnasium, pool and billiard
tables, and bowling alleys. Afee offrom
one to five dollars year is charged and
wherever an association is found in min
ing communities nearly all the male por-
ton of the population will be found on
the membership roll. So pleased are the
operators, who have helped organize
these Y. M. c. AS at the good accom-
plished, that they lost no opportunity to
show other operators what can be done
along this line. 1t may be said that within
the next five years Y. M. c. A. buildings
will be found in all mining camps in the
State. But one should moi forget the
hospitals in various sections of West
Virginia. Operators are joining forces in
building these hospitals where all families
can be cared for. This provision is eS-
peclally gratifying to the miners. and
every miner gladly pays Is cents month
toward the running expenses. Taking
all these things into consideration, we
have reason to believe that West Virginia
is now leading all coal mining States in
an effort to make employees as conforta-
bic and as happy as possible"

Mrs. Morgan Writes Prayer.


Mrs. ]. Pierpont Morgan, widow o
the financier, is so impressed with the
beauty OF old age and the need OF show
ing special favor to those OF advanced
years that she sent to the Rev. Karl Rel
land, rector OF St. Georges Protestant
Episcopal Church, a special prayer foT
those who have passed, reached or near
ly reached the allotted span of life. 1t is
a prayer OF the Episcopal Communion,
although not is the Book OF Common
Prayer.
Her prayer in part is:
"God, our Heavenly Father, whose
gift is length OF days. help us to make
the noblest use OF mind and body in our
advancing years.
"Grant us new ties of friendship, new
opportunities of service, JOY in the growth
and happiness OF children, sympathy
with those who bear the burdens OF the
world, clear thought and quiet faith.
Teach us to bear infrmities with cheer
full patience.
keep us from narrow pride in out
grown ways, blind eyes that will not see
the good of change, impatient iudg-
ments OF the methods and experiments Of
others. Take from us all fear OF death,
and all despair of undue love OF life; that
with glad hearts at rest in Thee we may
await Thy will concerning us, through
Christ, our Lord, Amen p
Mr.. Reiland was so impressed with
Mrs. Morgan's letter and the prayer itself
that he printed the prayer in st. Georges
calendar.

Caring For Useful Birds.

II is peculiar disgrace to any people
to permit boys and men TO kill of the
feathered defenders of our farms and tim
Der trees, especially when birds. as in
many cases, are the delight of the artist,
poet and the bird lover. In Germany
the people vie with one another TO iced
the winter birds. and heavy penalties are
pronounced and enforced by law for the
killing OF song bird. After every heavy
snow, many of the newspapers OF that
country print in conspicuous positions
in several places throughout the paper
the words Remember the birds, ""Feed
the BIRDS" and similar reminders. 1.-THE
people in the northern and other coun-
tries will watch for the visit OF the birds
and make them welcome they will save
the birds, The crops, and the finer feel
ings of their boys at the same time.
Widespread and heavy snowfall will
cost the lives of great numbers OF native
birds il the cold spell that follows is OF
long duration. The birds will perish,
because they cannot find enough food TO
keep up the bodily heat necessary TO re-
siSt the inclement weather. Many OF the
native birds can be saved, however, by
placing food within their reach. Ii we
spread on The frozen snow or in bare
places crumbs and scraps OF bread. grain
and bits OF fat meat, especially suet, the
latter to be nailed or tied in shrubs or
bushes near the ravines and in the open
fields, the birds will quickly find this
food, and il will tide them over this period
of stress.
Boy scouts could serve the State in
notable and profitable way just now by
feeding the birds. There are the wood
peckers - several kinds OF them; the
chickadee, the meadow lark, the snow
birds, the horned larks, the Bohemian
waxwing and the evening grosbeak. the
quails, the creepers and nuthatches-
these and Others are now undergoing
severe trial TO find sufficient food. The
bird food should be put far enough away
from the farmyards and houses TO be
mostly beyond the reach Of the house

STAGES.
Many people take 1t after they have
had the grip. Their convalescence Is
slow. They have suffered along for a
month or two, without any signs Of
complete recovery. Then they resort
to Peruna as a tonic, with splendid
results.
Mrs. Jane Gift, r. F. D. /, Athens,
Ohio. whose portrait appears above.
writes: Il think 1 would have been
dead long ago if 1t had not been for
Peruna. Six years ago had la grippe
very bad. The doctor came to see
me every day, but I gradually grew
worse. I told my husband I thought
I would surely die if I did not get
relief soon.
Zone day I picked up the news
paper and accidentally found testi-
monial Of woman who had been
cured Of grip by Peruna. I told my
husband 1 wanted to try it. He went
directly to the drug store and got
bottle Of Peruna. 1 could see the i'm
provement in a very short time ana
was soon able to do my work. I con-
tinued using it until / was entirely
cured"
Mr.. Victor Patneaude, 32s Madison
ST., Topeka, Kas., writes: Twelve
years ago had a severe attack of Ia
grippe and / never really recovered
my health and strength, but grew
weaker every year, until was unable
TO work.
1.-TWO years ago began using Pc
runa and it built up my strength so
that in couple of months was able
TO go to work again. This winter I
aad another attack Of Ia grippe, but
Peruna soon drove it out of my sys-
:em. My wife and I consider 1t a

A crystal and cell.
A jelly-fish and saurian.
And caves where the cavenen dwell;
Then sense OF law and beauty
And face turned from the clod,-
Some call il Evolution
And others call il God.
A haze on the far horizon,
The infinite tender sky.
The ripe, rich tint OF the cornfieIds.
And the wild geese sailing high:
And all over upland and lowland
The charm OF the golden rod
Some OF us call il Autumn.
And others call il God.
Like tides on crescent sea-beach,
When the moon is new and thin.
Into our hearts high yearnings
Come welling and surging in;
Come from the mystic ocean
Whose rim no foot has trod,-
Some OF us call il Longing,
And Others call il God.
A picket frozen on duty,
A mother starved for her brood.
Socrates drinking the hemlock.
And Jesus on the rood;
And millions who. humble and nameless,
The straight. hard pathway plod.-
Some call il Conservation,
And others call it God.
