The Cellar Hole and the Sewer
Hole.

A coal cart stopped before an ONCE
building in Washington and the driver
dismounted, removed the cover from
a manhole, ran out his chute, and pro-
ceeded to empty the load. An old
negro strolled over and stood watch
ing him. Suddenly the black man
glanced down and Immediately burst
into a 1T Of uncomfortable laughter
which continued for several minues.
The cart driver looked at him In
amusement. Say, Uncle" he asked,
do you always laugh when you see
coal going into a CELLAR" The negro
sputtered around for a few moments
and then, holding his hands to his
aching sides, managed to say, mo,
sab, but ! Jest busts when ! sees u
uoIn' down q sewer"
The advertiser who displays lack OF
Judgment in selecting the newspapers
which carry his copy often confuses
the sewer and the cellar.
All the money that is put into news
papers isn't taken out again, by any
means. The fact that all papers possess
q certain physical likeness doesn't
necessarily signify a similarity in
character, and it's character in q
newspaper that brings returns. The
editor who conducts a journalistic
sewer finds a different class Of readers
than the publisher who respects him
self enough to respect his readers.
What goes into a newspaper largely
determines the class Of homes into
which the newspaper goes. An IRE
sponsible, scandal-mongering. muck
raking sheet is certainly not supported
by the buying classes OF people. 1t

ers, but such readers are seldom pur-
chasers Of advertised goods.
It's the cleRn-cut, steady, normal
minded citizens who form the bone
and sinew and muscle OF the COM
munity. It's the sane, self-respecting,
dependable newspaper that enters
their homes and it's the home sale
that indicates the strength Of an ad-
vertising medium.
No clean-minded father OF a family
wishes to have his wife and children
brought in contact with the most
maudlin and banal phases Of life. He
defends them from the sensational edi-
tor and the unpleasant advertiser. He
subscribes to a newspaper which he
does not fear to leave about the
house.
Therefore, the respectable newspa-
per can always be counted upon to
produce more sales than one which
may even own larger circulation but
whose distribution is among unprohta-
BILE citizens.
You can no more expect to sell

ORNAMENTS OF WORTH
RIGHT THINGS TO BE WORN TO
SUIT THE OCCASION.
Adornments Must Be Fitting II They
Are to Be EHective-ldeas for the
colffure That Should BE Kept
In the Memory.

"All the girls are wearing hair orna.
ments this summer" announced Mar
jorie. How do you think | would
look in something of that kind?'
Some couture ornaments are very
attractive and in good taste" answered
Marie, and l am certain well-selected
ones will improve any ones appear
nnce II worn at the right times"
Wont you suggest some might
like to wear?" pleaded Marjorie.
why, yes" was the reply. II have
in mind several geasonable novelties
which might suit you. For instance,
there are shell pins with hinged tops
with gems that may be turned In diff
ferent directions to suit the couture,
and simulated caps Of strings OF pearls
with tiny chin straps OF pearls to
match to wear in the evenings.
Marrow bandeaux Of rhinestones
that widen out into a barette in the
back and which are matched by the
high spans in. combs set with rhine
stones are very pretty.
There are also caps formed Of
strings of jewels set wide apart, with
two straight feathers up the front,
their quilts outlined with gems.
"Square-topped pins, inlaid with
gold, matching gold-topped side combs
and high open-work back comb, with
filigree design in the gold, are all
shown, as are also hairpins with fill
gree gold tops, shaped like ball, the
center filled with compressed sachet
balls and thin bands OF gold ending In
gold tassels to wear across the front
of the hair, the tassels hanging back
OF the ears like simulated earrings.
Glass as a material for couture
ornaments is steadily making its way
into favor. Under strong light spun
glass aigrettes are most effective, espe'
cially when of white combined with
emerald green, sapphire, blue. ruby
red or golden yellow.
Some glass tiaras show design In
flowers and leaves attached to skele'
ton latticing in silver or gold. Rose
buds with their foliage are favorites
but so are white wild daisies and any
of the smaller field blooms.
Clusters of oak or mistletoe leaves
are used with good effect in glass
tiaras, and. in fact, any sort OF foliage
that is not overlarge may correctly be
used. excepting. of course. the straw
berry leaves sacred TO the English
duchess.
Couture ornaments and tiaras in
amber or in amber colored glass are
stunning looking on brunette beauty
and for blondes there are fetching ef
fects in all.jet or in jet combined with
paste, pearls or opals."

Straiuht Lines Hold.

While a good deal is being said and
written about fiounce and tunic ef-
fects it must not be lost sight of that
the straight, slim lines are by no
means out Of the running. The cui-
rass type Of gown is back again and it
is likely to play IN important part in
the fall modes. In some instances the
models are fastened straight down
the back, from neck to skirt hem; and
there are other interesting effects that
have sort of jerkin tunic laced down
either side. The Russian blouse is
but another declaration of staight line
principles that will prevail in evening
and in daytime models for next sea-
son.

Odd PaFasols.

Il has been a record year for weird
and wonderful parasols OF every de-
scription. The tiny early Victorian
sunshade that turns on a hinge has
had a great furore and is a fascinating
toy, Just enough to shade the face and
eyes from glare and yet not enough to
obscure any of the beauties OF the
toilet or seriously obstruct the view OF
anyone behind the wielder Of 1t. Never
has the sunshade been so elaborate as
this season. Real lace Of all kinds has
played a great part in their decora-
ton; embroidery and hand painting
too. have been lavished upon them.
The real Japanese parasol has been
much in evidence; one seen at Ascot
was entirely lacQuered with gold and
used with black and gold toilet.

sIsht Lost and Restored.

Struck by lightning and blinded;

ness-this has been the extraordinary
experience of a young Castleford Qre-

Barnes was FIRST struck when a storm
was at it's height He received a Sc
we're shock, and, when he recovered
consciousness he was totally blind.
The storm was renewed in Castleford
on the following evening, exactly
twenty-four hours later. At seven there
was vivid fash, and Barnes, who was
lying in bed, was thrown to the floor.
A moment later, to the amazement Of
the others in tho room, he exclaimed,
THANK God, / can see!" He is still
suffering from nervous shock, but 1t Is
stated that he is progressing favorably
and that his sight IL normal.

Mnri.d IIas Of Feathers.

Feathers are worn in vast variety
OF ways. Sometimes short ostrich
feathers surround the crown: some
times feathers are twisted round
snail fashion, the long feathers having
the end twisted to resemble a
snail. Tall feathers on hats that are
tilted over one temple and have an
avalanche OF feathers falling over the
back are smart and original. somo-
times uncurled feathers are mingled
round the crowns with daisies.

MAN AND SEARCHED COLLARS
Movement to Abolish "Palladium Of
Responsibility" Calls Forth q
Strong Protest.

The papers report that league has
been formed to "emancipate man from
the starched collar"
Nonsense! Man does not need any
such emancipation, except on some
extra hot days in summer, and then
he emancipates himself
There Is more moral support, more
reinforcement Of character, In a
starched collar than can be had In any
other form for the same money. The
starched collar is the badge OF Euro
pean civilization. Asia never devel'
oped It. Neither did Africa. The
Chinese have had civilization for 1000
years. but no starched collar. Where
is their civilization now? 1t has gone
to the laundry.
The Hindus are kind to animals and
a thoughtful people, but they have
never taken to starched collars,
Where are they now? Trying to land
in British Columbia, trying to stay in
South Africa and being shooed away
by collar wearers.
The Persians are on the run. The
Japanese. the liveliest people in Asia
when they accepted western civiliza
ton, accepted starched collars with
both hands. The American negroes
wear the tallest and stiffest collars
to be had. There is hope for them.
The starched collar is the palladium
Of respectability. It is the token Of
victory over self. Talk about abol
ishing It is bosh. Abolish trousers Il
necessary; nations have become great
without them; but stick to the collar
and stick to the starch.-Life-

great amount OF labor.
In making 1t, in the first place, a

of thick plain white cardboard. and
then q pretty floral design can be
painted upon them with water colors.
