a DsoaIoauo Of Conduct.

~ OO0aj00UO OF C0n0Qots
Always be master Of yourself. Never
betray any irritation or disappoint-
ment or any other weakness. Never
slop over, never give yourself away,
never make yourself ridiculous what
American would not admit that these
are foremost among the rules by which
he would like to regulate his conduct?
It can be hardly denied that this ha-
bitual self mastery, this habitual con-
troll over ones emotions, Is one Of the
chief reasons why so much of Ameri-
can life is so uninteresting and monot-
onOus. It reduces the number Of OPP
portunities for intellectual friction; it
suppresses the manifesto ton of strong
individuality; often It impoverishes
the inner life itself. But, on the other
hand, it has given to the American
that sureness of motive, that healthi-
ness Of appetite, that boyish frolic-
someness, that purity of sex instincts.
the quickness and litheness Of man
ners, which distinguish him from most
Europeans. It has given to him all
those qualities which insure success
and make their possessor welcome
member Of any kind Of society.-At-

Importance cannot be reduced to a
matter of size. The success of a piece
Of work may depend on tiny detail.
Such is the case in regard to that mar
vel Of construction, the violin. Rev.
II. r. Haweis in his my Musical Life
tells Of the care and labor expended on
two little pieces Of wood which go to
make up the perfect whole. The sound
bar is strip Of pine wood running
obliquely under the left foot of the
bridge. A slight mistake in its posi-
ton, looseness or inequality or rough.
ness Of finish will produce that hollow,
teeth on edge growl called wolf" 1t
takes great cunning and a life of prac-
tical study to know how long and how
thick the sound bar must be and exact
~ where to place it in each instrument.
The sound post is a little pine prop,
like short bit of cedar pencil. 1t is
the soul of the violin and through 1t
pour all vibrations. Days and weeks
are spent in adjusting the tiny sound
post. Its position exhausts the patience
Of the maker and makes the Joy or the
misery of the player.

appeal so often expressed in letters
from French, German and English
soldiers who from the battlefield have
| called upon us to save civilization;
but more moving and more terrible
is the silent appeal from the daily
growing cemeteries, from the devast-
ed villages and ruined homes, the or
phans, the outraged and the starv-
ing.
1T is much more difficult for men
to meet in conference; they are in
the silent armies. But women, as
Inoncombatants, have this right, and
as guardians Of the race they have
the duty. Experience has shown
that women of enemy nations can
meet in council and discuss matters
in reasonable and helpful way. A
preliminary meeting Of British, Ger
man, Belgian and Dutch women has
already been: held. The time seemed
ripe for this international meeting.
1t can hardly fail to soften animosi-
ties and allay the hatred which is
growing evil and menace for the FL
ture.
women whose hearts have been
drawn together by earnest considera-
ton of common problems and COM
mon suffering will return to their
countries to influence public opinion
to gentler attitude. BY thus meet
ling together on neutral ground and,
for the moment, removed from nation
al passions, fairer view of current
events becomes possible, and women
Of all nationalities can join in pre-
pairing the way for better under
standing and a permanent peace.
Moreover, if women's voice is to be
heard in the treaty of peace, the way
must be prepared now"
Mrs. Fawcett Absent.
Not all the women prominent In
the British feminist movement have
lent their support to the congress-.
Among those absent today is Mrs.
Millicent C. Fawcett, leader of the
constitutional suffragists, who not
only refused to become delegate,
but issued a vigorous protest, on pat
riotic grounds, against the partici-
patton Of other English women. The
militant suffragists, however, are
represented by Mrs. Pethick Law
renee and Miss Sylvia Pankhurst,
while among the other English dele
gates are: Miss Violet Vanbrugh, the
actress; Miss Olive Schreiner, the
author; Miss Margaret Ashton, sis
ter of Viscount Bryce, former Brit
ish ambassador to the United States;
Mrs. George Cadbury, the Hon. Mrs.
Rollo Russell and Miss Lind of

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded, gray hair to its natural color dates dack to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and abundant Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this sim pie mixture was applied with wonder full effect
 But brewing at home is mussy and out of date. Nowadays. by asking at any drug store for 50-cent bottle of 'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get this famous old recipe which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff. dry, feverish. itchy scalp and falling hair.
 A well known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another ap- plication or two it becomes beautifully dark. glossy, soft and abundant.

An unusually large purchase of Coats makes it possible for us to offer these excellent values; judged by any standard they are unusual.
