Currants, Raspberries, Gooseberries and
Blackberries Are Easily Grown.
Small fruits, such as currants, rasp-
berries, gOoseberries and blackberries
are easily grown. and almost every
gardener finds it profitable to have a
few bushes of each kind on his place.
The gOOseberry is not made as much
use of by American housewives as is
the case in England, where it is a
favOrite small fruit, but in recent years
the excellence of its food qualities has
become recognized.

CONCERNING HATS AND FACES
UNDER THEM.

You see a man who is exactly formed
to please. He can wear any KIND OF
hat. He is a lucky creature, and all
this is done for him by nature. But
this article is for the general run of
mankind.
The hat forms the dress for the
head. The face is not picture which
never changes-it is always changing.
and is always affected by its environ
ment. even as a lake by the clouds
that float above 1t or the ripples that
cross IL. The hat. in a word, must
1T the face.
Now the setting for a part Of the
body so essentially individual and
spiritual should, experts assert. be
adapted to all it's phases. 1t will har-
monize or 1t will distort, you should
murmur to yourself when trying on d
Bankok. IL takes care-painstaking,
discriminating care-to suit the hat to
the face, and not try to suit the face
to the hat. When this care is exer-
cised your face will always respond,
like bird that sings for the gift OF a
seed.
Some of the hats this year are dra
matte. They are audacious. You can
not but note the oddities Of the new

is of little practical use to any but the
first or senior, because the officers OF
the brigade Of midshipmen are selected
from this class almost exclusively, and
consequently they are the only ones IN
authority.
Douglas simply lived up to this I'M
written law. 1t is true that Little was
neither a classmate Of the lieutenants
nor a Naval Academy graduate. But
he was his personal friend and as
sociate. he messed at the same mess'

1t will be recalled that after the
Branch Merriwether fight, which re-
suited in the unfortunate death or
Midshipman Branch, number OF the
first class men were reported for serious
offences. but that after sufficient Tune
had elapsed for things TO settle down
y
they were given punishments hardy
adequate for the offences charged-an-
other illustration OF the code and the
sympathy commissioned officers are
bound to feel for those who get In trou-
BILE through living up to II.
/ The fight was held in a room or BAN
croft Hall during supper time one
evening. Merriwether was then
third class man and Branch a sec
ond class man. To hold the fight at
such time involved the consent and
/ connivance of first class men, for under
the code such fights must be refereed

class man must act as timekeeper, ana

Rr EARL y. FINDLEY.

WOMAN got as far as the royal
~ presence in Buckingham Palace
n few days ago, dropped on her
knees in front of the King and ad-
dressed an appeal to him. A scene OF
confusion followed, and the woman was
escorted out with emphasis.
The cable dispatches failed to report
in full the words of the woman, so that
the subject upon which she had in
tended to converse with his majesty is
matter of excited conjecture. Pos
sibly she wished to chat with the King
about the recent series Of popular and
brilliant European sunsets, and became
frightened at the last moment.
Starting a conversation upon celes-
tial scenery, even at a private dinner in
America, requires nerve. The thing
seems too remote, yet it would not be a
bad idea. But, of course, at court one
is under a very nervous strain. The
fact remains that the woman bowed to
the King and was enthusiastically
bowed out.

INTELLECT of duty and inexcus-
That is what Secretary of the
Navy Daniels said to Lieutenant Arch
ibald G. Douglas, L. s. N, in the course
of his talk with him concerning the
doings on the Presidents yacht, the
Mayflower and particularly in regard
to that officers failure to report Passed
Assistant Paymaster Little for infrac-
tons of regulations.

which had been so drilled into him dur

That part OF the Naval Academy
code-and it applies in modified form

Douglas acted may be translated as

the chauffeurs have such bad manners
that lady seldom has the temerity to
speak to them, for, unlike a similar
class in Europe, those who serve you
for your money in America often throw
in a good deal of inciyility with the
service.
Our subway guards have never
learned to touch their hats to lady
when she speaks to them or gives an
order as to what street to stop at. 1t
is always done in the Old World, and
this respectful air adds infinitely to
the pleasure of foreign travel. On the
Lake of Como, if lady steps down to
wharf, every boatman takes off his
cap until she has finished speaking,
and remains uncovered until she asks
him to put it on-a little touch that is
noticeably lacking on the Coney Island
boats, and also on those that are al
legged to go direct to Keansburg.

TO say TO look deliberately at one and
pass him by without returning his

We do not agree with the cynic who
asserts that etiquette was and still is
invented by people absolved from the
necessity of working for a living, and
that its only purpose is to afford IA

vcntors can afford to waste their time
In learning nice ceremonials and pretty
conventions.
Rather, we believe that the best way
IN succeed is TO know them, to catch
their spirit. and TO follow them in an
intelligent way, without a lavish pune

success and profit, and real happiness

MIDSHLPMENS CODE OF HONOR

time ever since the academy was
started. and commissioned officers on
duty had taken no official cognizance
of them. The arrangements were gem
orally similar TO those made for the
Branch Merriwether battle. The mid
shpmen knew that in the course of
time the officers would probably hear
what had taken place; they also knew
that they would ignore it; and the conf
missoned officers, recalling their own
academy days, knew that the midd!es
would know that they knew. II, after
a fight, one of the participants needed
medical attention, he had no hesitation
in answering the next sick CALL and the
navy surgeon patched him up without
question anc without comment.
But after it developed that Branch
was in a very serious condition ii was,
of course, impossible to pass over this
fight in the customary way; and when
the young officer died without regain
ing consciousness a rigid investigation
became imperative. though II is a safe
bet that the very officers who conduct
ed IT and melted out the punishments
to those involved, knowing as they did
that the fight was fair one, had little
liking for their work.
! OF course, all the first class men
mixed up in the affair suffered. A
large portion of the press held them up
as not only neglectful of their duty but
as men who had made false reports
Intentionally. The officer OF the deck
and the company captains who had
failed to report absentees AT that sup
per formation were the particular tar
gets for attack.
Living is considered by the mid
shirmen themselves, as well as by the
navy regulations. an offence without
the pale." But from the point OF view
of the midshipmen they were entirely
justified in making the reports they
did. They were merely following a
custom sanctioned and approved by
years Of usage.

A STRANGE INTERNATIONAL RE.
VERSAL.

Ladies in Japan are served by serv-
ants who approach them on their knees
In the United States these positions are
reversed. Every country has its own
standards in manners. Chinaman
who witnessed a kiss and attended
dance in the country wrote home:
When people meet in America and
wish TO show affection, they put their
ewes and chins together and make
smacking sound. A skipping match is
strange sight. To this number of men
and women come in couples, and enter
a spacious hall; there at the sound OF
the music they grasp each other by
both arms, and leap and prance back
ward and forward, and round and
round. till they are forced to stop for
lack OF breath"
These things were just as droll 10
the Chinaman as the Chinese method
of court procedure was to Americans
when the prisoner. after being tortured
into pleading guilty. was forced TO
kneel to the judge and thank him for
pronouncing sentence.

manners are simple and where we have
no fixed rank, we do not need as many
