How 10 Keep
 Your Wells Fresh.

NTOW that vei1s are so fashionable,
 and every well dressed woman has half a dozen or more different sorts of veils to take care of the resourcefu1 HneedIeworker is busiIy evolving con- ven1ent receptac1es in which to keep them. One veil may be folded up
 thrust through with a pin and tossed into the bureau drawer, but when there are six or seven wells to look after dis- aster will certainly follow this method and the moment 8. veil becomes crush ed and tangled up among half a dozen of its fellows it's freshness and becom- ingness are ruined. Wells are very inn palpable things. Freshness is their chief charm, and when that is gone the veil no matter how expensive it was, had better be thrown away. The veil of the moment is especially sheer and gossafner-1 like. It is also crisp when perfectly fresh. The moment 1t begins to grow limp so that 1t will not float out correctly from the hats it's value from a style standpoint has departed.
 The best way to keep a. number of wells spiek and span is to have a long veil case of cretonne or silk in which the veiIs may be kept each folded 5fiat1y over a separate piece of card- board. When the veil is removed from the hat fold it immediately around the cardboard, which should be long enough to reach from one edge of the veil to the other. The case should be a little longer than the cardboard strips and a little wider than their width, say about five inches wide by eighteen long. It may be made of any dainty lowered silk or Of cretonne matching the dresser belongings. If desired, saehet powder may be ssprin- kIed on the strip of cotton ssheeting laid between cover and lining, and the case should be closed with snap fasten- CTS to keep out the dust Such a veil case, just completed, is of pink golden rod satin, to match a pink boudoir

 While there are types of hats that require the close nose veil, the very newest veil is worn in loose draped fashion. Many of the bordered wells may be worn either way. The fashion able draped effect is produced by gath ering the veil around the hat so that it falls in vo1uninous nipples. Fre- quent1y the effect of extreme fullness is obtained by means of a ribbon bind ing in the form of a border. Some times the veil is shaped so that it will fall in a, deep point in front Again it is arranged that there will be a point both front and back. leaving the shoulders, clear.

 At night rub in some good cream powder the hands and keep them in loose gloves all night. The hands will be as white and soft as though they had never done q bit of housework < USE OLD VELVET FOR BUSTING.
 A PIECE of velvet is 2 fine cleaner

There is nothing better to dust a felt hat. and silk dresses and other silk articles should always be dusfed with it, for it cleans perfectly without cutting or otherwise injuring the silk.

THE PHILOSOPHY oF HATa

 FASHION c1aps new hat on our friends head-a hat with a funny dip in it, or g queer wiggIe of the brirn, or a long, soft droop, or dashing tilt, or 8 jaunty uphing. or any kind of line whatever that has distinctive meaning and is not the kind of line we have been used to
 What happens? First of all, we are interested. our eyes are challenged anew. Then the interest and the chaI- lenge give us fresh interpretation We see the familiar face as though it were a strangers, and we find in 1t things we have never noticed. The funny pinch in the brin may bring out all it's gayety: the long, soft droop may accentuate it's pathos; the jaunty up- fling of the side may give it a. sudden brave note.

SPRING AND

F there be any woman who
 doubts the influence of clothes on the minds Of the wear CT let her put on the shabbiest and most ssserviceab1e" of her winter clothes and go forth into the 1dealized world of spring for every long finger of spring sunshine seems to point accus ingly at the unfortunate one who canot afford to buy new and festive garments.
 If she can feel the joy of spring. the 1ightness and bright ness. the cleanliness and new ness which permeate the air when she is so clad, then she is a superwonan
 Spring barely toierates the city. Its people must deck themselves gay1y and pIagia rize from nature if they would feel the joy of the season.
 Spring is an aggressive sea- son. Since human beings have , destroyed all those places insthe city where she might display her wares she com mpensates her. self by forcing human beings to produce an artificial spring and to fill their stores and cover their persons with machine made verdure.
 As if by magic the clothes which yesterday appeared smart and gay become old and dismal. The hand of spring is laid upon hat, and. behold. 1t crumpl6s out of shape and becomes dingy and dusty. The hand of spring touches 9 suit, and every mir TOT in the streets seems to re- fleet one as a symbolic figure of ia dark and dreary winter.
 It is the ssuperWoman who. knowing all this. Is not affected by 1t.

MERRILL DOES NOT DENY IT

ID. ID. Merrill does not deny that he
opposed the minimum wage at the
Riverside Taxpayers League meeting
Oct. 5. IL ever a man showed his true
colors he did on that occasion. What
can the workers expect from a man
who opposes a wage that Is lower
than that paid by the City of New
York? There is absolutely no excuse
for the opposition to this minimum
wage except that 1t eats into the pro-
fits Of contractors and Merrill, being
an employer of labor at different
times, must naturally oppose it. He
claims to have always paid the high
est price for labor, but this was only
in cases where he was forced to do
so by the union scale. Unorganized
workers would get the bad end Of the
deal and as there are always more un-
skilled workers than skilled employed
on contract work it only goes to prove
that the more unskilled workers en-
ployed on the job and the lower the
wage the bigger is the profits Of the
contractors. Merrill is boss's man
and as long as the workers persist in
voting in the interests of their mas
tiers so long will they get the bad end
of the deal in every instance.

WHY SALTER WILL
BE REELECTED

There are many and cogent reasons
why J. M. Salter will be reelected
Commissioner OF Public Works. Here
are a few:
First-Because he has fully carried
out the platform on which he was
elected a year ago.
Second-Because he has made
good" on all points not specifically
anticipated by platform pledges.
Third--Because he stands for a
clean city government.
Fourth--Because he Is personally
acquainted with every detail of the
water and power system project, and
has no personal friendship with cor
poration officials, and Is not backed
nor approved by the Stone-Webster
interests.
Fifth--Because Everett is a work
ingman's town, and Salter has always
fought for all the interests Of labor.
Sixth-Because he has proved to be
not only honest in all his business re-
lations, but square" even with po-
litical opponents.
Seventh-His administration has
been economical in the best sense, en-
tirely efficient, with the promise of
still greater results in the future as
the result of years close study, at
first hand, OF every detail OF the vari-
Gus departments under his supervi-
sion.
Eighth-Salter has the full backing
of the organized Socialists, of Social
list sympathizers, Of organized labor
Gas Individually, Of the church ele-
ment, Of the "drys," and Of hundreds
who feel that the same commission
ers should be reelected in order to
complete the work so we'll begun on
the water project.

ability to exploit in order to compete

the standard Of fitness to survive in

permits the natural resources and the

1t is estimated that nearly million
women in the United States are com.
PEELED, through this competitive sys-

This method of earning a living

Of women fall victims to alcoholism

must be replaced about every eight
years with new army of the disin-

Where will these new recruits come

They will come, as always, from

because she is some mothers pride.
