CUT PAPER TOWELS;
Linen MUCH Cheaper
Each Clerk viii Be Allowed
a Weeks Supply for In
dividual Use

In line with retrenchment policy,
the Pennsylvania railroad has issued
orders cutting out the paper roller
towels. That they are sanitary is not
denied but the new style Of towel has
proven rather expensive.
Il may take sometime before the
paper towels entirely disappear as
there Is a large stock on hand but
in many of the local offices the linen
towel has again made It's appearance
and the roller fowls have been dis
carded. On some of the trains the
paper towels will continue until the
supply Is exhausted
The Pennsylvania officials have fig
ured out that il Is much cheaper to
provide individual towels for their
clerks and in each department cup
boards are now being provided for in
diyidual towels Arrangements will
be made 10 have these towels laun-
dered al the company laundries In
New York. Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh. Each employe will probably
be allowed an average OF four clear
towels each week.

Written by Mrs Minnie J.. Carroll. IN
memory Of her mother, who died March 2s
1910.
Four years have passed since that
fatal morning,
When awoke with bated breath.
To hear our neighbors call Of warn
ing,
And find dear mother in the throes
Of death.
1 seemed to find no time for weeping,
Although my heart was broken,
sore.
For 7 knew that mother was in Gods
keeping,
And would wait for me on yonder
shore.
She is far beyond this world of
sorrow.
She has no troubles now, to bear,
And in that far-off dag. tomorrow.
With Jesus help. I Will meet her
there.
I'm glad to know that she is sleeping
With the angels among the blest;
hope she knows not how I'm
weeping.
In this land of toll, pain and un-
rest.
] am striving hard to do my duty.
Heart-breaking tears fall during
prayer:
But in that glorious vale of beauty
l know I shall meet dear mother
there.

FOR SIMPLE NEEDS.


There are so many simple materials
made in broche this season that even
the every day costume may show
trimming of the kind This skirt and
the trimming on the blouse are made
from broche cotton ratine with the
blouse of plain white cotton voile
The fancy material is old blue in
color and the contrast with the white
as well as the contrast in fabrics Is
charming. AS a matter of course.
the same color effect could be pro-
duced by using plain material for the
skirt and trimming and plain eponge
or crepe would be most attractive
used in this way or a checked OF
striped material could be used with
plain for the blouse Some of the
new plaids and checks show very
dainty coloring, not in the least ag-
gressiye. and are fascinating for such
purpose and stripes really make a
fad Of the season. Broche linen is
one of the latest novelties and Is
promised great favor for warm
weather costumes. Yellow is to be
extremely fashionable for summer
and tnis same combination in broche
yellow linen of a soft tone with
white voile would be beautiful.
