TWO EARLY BIRDS.
One of Them, Though, Was Safe Lap
 Ahead of the Other.

Aneao or the tuner.
 King George and the Duchess of Fife are both keen anglers. and they have long been rivals at the sport.
 One autumn when the court was at Balmoral both had fished patiently for some days in pool of the river Dee. trying to catch a particularly big salm- on that was reported to be lurking there. Each was anxious to beat the other, so very early one morning King George hurried off toward the pool in the hope of catching the salmon before his niece was up.
 To his surprise he found the princess strolling beside the river. and she im- mediately began to cross examine him as to what he was doing there so early with his fishing tackle. In the end the king had to admit rather shamefaced ly that he had intended to steal a march on her and try to catch the elu sive salmon before she was up.
 The princess read him very severe lecture on what she called his un- sportsmanlike behavior and. extracted from him an admission that he was sorry. Then. with a smile of triumph. she showed him her own fishing tackle and the big salmon lying behind rock on the bank. She had been up just q little before her uncle. had caught the salmon and had hidden it when she saw him coming.-London it-Bits.

HEART PALPlTATION.
As a Rule, 1t 10 Caused by Nervous or
 Digestive Trouble.

Az a Rule, It 10 Caused by Nervous or Digestive Trouble.
 It is rarely. if ever, that palpitation is due to any disease or weakness of the heart. It is almost invariably the result of nervous or digestive trouble The beat of the heart arises within it. self. There are nerves in the muscles of the heart and they regulate its beating, although the speed or rate of the beating is not of their choosing. If they were not held in check they would set rate about double that which is actually maintained.
 The heart is supplied from the brain with two pairs of regulating nerves. One pair, the cardio-motor nerves. act only to spur up the heart to quicker action. They are usually inactive. waiting the occasion for applying the spur. The other pair, the cardio-inhib- itory nerves, are always in action.
 It has been said that the heart runs in pair of tightly held reins, and the simile is true, for these nerves check the speed. Fear. worry, disorder of the stomach or nervous system, cause these cardio-inhibitory nerves to relax: then the heart begins to race.
 There is nothing the matter with the heart itself, and no one need be alarm ed about that organ just because it beats too rapidly. Its palpitation is due to a psychological or physical cause. something that has caused the relaxation of the reins and allowed the cardio- motor nerves to apply the spur.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE AT WORK.

People who being given to the eX- ercise of common sense, have no faith : in either the doctrines or works of Christian Science, and yet dismiss it 1as 3 harmless delusion which does not ;particularly concern themselves, prob saAly will, and certainly should, revise ,xhoir opinion on reading the details .suf a case which a coroner's jury in @tAs Bronx has just described as one sof Criminal negligence"
 The description is apt, since en- =aaangering the lives of others is what makes negligence criminal, and that ls precisely what was done in this ingtance.
 \ certain John c. Vessels had a ~ba1y, and the baby sickened of diph- 1heria, a terrible malady, but one -1hat can be diagnosed with certainty >an dts early stage and is curable with a close approach to certainty if treat =1l as every doctor knows how to troat and does treat 1t. The Vessels 4haby's illness was not diagnosed, and &A1 only treatment 1t received was s1nom q woman utterly ignorant of Rodicine who was called in to tell the lhild that there was nothing the mat tsr with 1t! Against the veracity of 1his statement the baby after sever al days of cruel suffering, presented convincing evidence by dying.
 Meanwhile no precautions were talk en to protect the other Vessels chil- hren from infection, and one of them. q girl of 12, went to school as usual, carrying with her plentiful supply .st diphtheritic germs. These she dis tEibuted among her companions, sev- ea of whom contracted the disease.
 Some people may see only pathos to excuse the father as a man who acted on his religious conviction and with the best of motives. They will not, especially if parents, view so calmly the convincing illustration he gave of the unquestionable fact that !a1l association with Christian Scien- lists or their children is full of dead 7y dangers, for of course they deal with other infectious maladies in ex- actly the way this follower of Mrs. Ed Ay did with d1phtheria, and for not all -of those diseases, even if discovered in time, are trustworthy specifies yet available.
 Yet we hear that the Eddyites are nice, cheerful, pious persons, little queer or absurd in their notions, in deed, but harmless and likable, and Hat, anyhow, their beliefs concern Themselves alone! We are also told that "there is something in it." There

MOST USEFUL AND
PRETTY THINGS IN
BRIGHT CRETONNE

20 MANY things can be made of
, cardboard and cretonne that it
seems their number is only limited by
The ingenuity of the mind. "a place
'or everything, and everything in its
place." is the inspiration of many
cheerful furnishings which anyone can
make. These gayly colored and useful
.rinkets of the bedroom help to keep
The belongings of it's occupant in order
and easy to get at.
Here is group of four pieces which
will be found useful as we'll as exceed
ngly pretty and easy to make.
There is little whisk broom holder
made of one large and two small
heart-shaped pieces of cardboard, COW
cred with cretonne. Appropriate to the
shape, the flower pattern is a full
blown rose and foliage in one of the
blurred patterns. The hearts are each
covered separately, the two smaller
ones sewed along one side to the larger
and joined together with a little bow
Of pink ribbon at the front This forms
a holder for small broad whisk
broom. 1t is suspended by hanger
of the ribbon.
This is a pretty gift for a man, and
an appropriate little token for the en-
gagged girl or the wife to give to her
beloved.
Another gift for either a man or
woman is the tie rack. Nothing could
be simpler to make. A shaped piece
of thin pine board is used for this, and
the cretonne is stretched over and
pasted. to it, covering the front and
back.
A small brass rod and little brackets
furnish support for ties. A hanger of
wash ribbon in pink silk is fastened in
rings at the back. This rack is pretty
and calculated to inspire gratitude in
the possessor. Hung beside the dress
ing case, it is no trouble to hang ties
over it instead of mixing them with
a few other things in the dresser
drawer.
For lady's room there is a work
box made over a heavy cardboard foun-
dation with cretonne pasted on. Mar
row straps, made of folded strips of
cretonne, tackled down at intervals of
an inch or so, provide places for
needles, thread, hooks and eyes, col
lar supports, ETC., not to mention the
always needed darning cotton. The lid
Is hinged to the box with a strip of

Just now gray hair is very fashion.
| able and women who give much at.
tention to dress are going to the ex.
treme of powdering their slightly gray
locks to make them lighter. Ash
blonds also resort to this expedient,
and it will have to be acknowledged
that the effect is pretty. Jet pins and
ornaments, worn with the gray Golf.

whose hair is gray in streaks now fea.

ing it. The effect is beautiful and
startling until one becomes accus.
toned to it.
The knob at the top of the head is
placed just above the crown. In many
of the new coiffures it is further for.
ward and much higher.
For gray or red hair the high Golf
fure is the best of all. 1t is stately
looking and displays the hair to ad-
vantage. If there is not sufficient nat
ural hair for this hairdress a single
switch will serve just as well to make
the coil.
Anyone who will save the combings
from the head will be surprised at the
quantity of hair that is daily shed by
most women and will not be long in
accommodating enough for a switch or
for puffs or side curls, all of which
have appeared on the horizon of the
hairdresser's field.
The influence of the colonial style
Is apparent in the new modes. The
colonial coiffure may not be copied ex-
actly, but the chances are that its fea-
lures will dominate the new season.

The Colorado statesman., 1914-01-03

ZONE Of the new coiffures go to ex-
- tremes in the matter of height, but
& here is one that is conservative and
very attractive. 1t shows several items
that go to make up the new styles.
There is the loose wave of the hair,
the fringe across the forehead and the
hint of ringlets at the sides. There
Is a glimpse of the ear and the quaint
and 'old-timy" jet earring which
makes the skin look SO dazzlingly
white when the wearer Is passably
fair.
1t Is noticeable that the hair Is
coiled very loosely at the back, after
all of it has been waved 1t falls to the
nape of the neck. This feature is es-
sential in order that our millinery may
be becoming. No matter whether the
hair is worn moderately or extremely
high, 1t is not to be drawn up or back
tightly at any place.
The hair across the middle of the
forehead is trimmed and curled under
vt the sides the loose ends are curled
Into soft light ringlets Gnconspicuous,
but well cared for), while the mass of
the hair is combed back and the ends
twisted into soft fiat coil. This is
pinned fiat to the head, and plain shell
pins are best liked fer this purpose.
Speaking of pins-wire hair pins must
not be in evidence, no matter how
prodigal the hairdresser finds it nee
sssary TO be in using them. They are
10 be concealed, invisible and rein
forced by plain shell pins either large
or small in size.
For heavy masses of hair, or what
appears to be a great abundance, the
arger pins are appropriate. They are
'ot jeweled and are often black In

cretonne, but small brass hinges are to
be preferred.
A hanging work basket Is made Of
two pieces of cardboard covered with
cretonne. The ends are joined with
cores of silk, shirred and tied to the
sides with bows of narrow ribbon.
There is a pocket at each end for
thread. A small needle book is fast
ened at the front, and hangers of rib
bon provided, attached to EACH side.

Eur-Edued Roses.

Some new corsage flowers are roses
that have four outside leaves edged
Of the roses are blue, some various
shades of red and pink. They are big
and striking. but especially suitable
to wear with the street suit.

The bottom of the basket is a strip
cardboard covered and sewed to the
sides. Little ribbon bows at the front
and ends make finishing touch and
complete the attractive basket.
