DAINTY NOVELTIES IN WELLS
Chic and Fascinating In the Extreme,
 When Worn by the Right :' Woman.

The dainty woman who pays care- full attention to the accessories of her toilet must rejoice over the veil nov cities. These are chic and fascinat- ing in the extreme-of course, when worn by the right woman. In many cases these abbreviated affairs are shaped-a half circle is the style most approved, while others are straight on the lower edge, with the design in cir cular form, the design coquettishly hiding the eyes, while the lower straight edge calls particular attention to milady's rosebud mouth. Another charming model of fllet net is slight. ly gathered, part of the way, into a velvet band, which is fastened around the neck. Plain filet meshes are pop. ular, dotted with chenille along the edge. Lace embroidery is also ex- tensively worn.

Manhattan Is FIat-Foe,ted.

Little old Manhattan is fat-footed, wears poor shoes and stands up at it's work, according to figures compiled by Capt. Frank D. Evans of the re- cruiting office of the United States Marine corps. Captain Evans is au- thority for the statement that approxi- mately IS per cent of all applicants who applied for enlistment in the marine corps at it's Twenty-third street office during the past year, were rejected fo' pes planus," or fiat foot. He puts the blame on the cheap ly constructed, poorly made shoes the average toiler wears at his work for the epidemic of falling arch. and on the fact that the majority of victims ciaimed they were forced to stand on their feet for long stretches while at their employment.
 Motorman, conductors, subway guards. policemen, machinists, wait CTS and clerks are the principal suf- ferers from pes planus," Captain Evans says.-New York Times.

Wireless Possibilities,

With the advent of wireless tele- phony it seems not improbable that in the near future we will all be carry ing about our persons small pocket apparatus with which we can step in- to any quiet corner, call up central and ask to be connected with any de- sired point. This seems to be the next logical step, considering the fact that wireless talk has been held with Hawaii and Paris. What cinch it will be for the married man who has fallen in with a congenial bunch. He can take out his instrument, call up wifey and tell her that polished story about being detained at the office or kept downtown by an out-of-town cus- toner. Fine business. But if wifey is wise she will not ring off on the attuned circuit. By keeping her ear to the receiver she can hear all that is said, and in the morning, when hub- by feels his worst, tell him what has been on her mind all night. And if an affinity happens to be with him--well, there will be more work for the di. vorce courts. ,ss ,s.1

his faculties, he should he penniless. When a man who has worked con- tinuously for a number of years loses his position for any reason, the first thought of those who know him is Well, he's been working steadily all this time, he must have quite a tidy sum saved up" Therefore his ac- quaintances do not take it kindly when hs approaches them for help. They tllink-"!1e had as mulch chance to save as 1 did; ; why didn't he do it?' But the man who asked for help feels that he has not been treated right. He lays his treatment to the fact that he is clown and out" and the next development is that he loses his self-respect.
 Nothing is. so calculated to make man respect llit1selt and to make the cornnunitv in which he lives and works respect him, as his having a certain sum of money back of him. It gives solidity to his business ard weight to his opinions, for, it is argued, the man who has worked, provided for his family, given his children an education and saved money, must have char 0cter. :-H

JUST BEFORE THE PLUNGE
Frank Confession of One Regarded as About to Be Made Happy =
 s for Life. ii.<a

Following is an extract from 8 bridegroom's frank confession:
 Here was on the verge of real izing the thing that had wanted most for over year; and suddenly I found, to my utter amazement, that I didn't want it.
 q was disgusted with myself. be- rated myself roundly for cad and 9 coward, but | could not change the feeling. With the drowning mans pano- ramic eye saw all the choicest mo- ments of my Bachelor days. I remem- bered the gay, irresponsible times that my best man and I had had together. That was pretty good life, after all, that we had led. Our old bachelor apartment was a good old place, thought to myself.
 And I was leaving it! I had always heard that folks with curly hair were fickle, and had dismissed the saying as idle. superstitious chatter Now it flashed upon me that my hair is cur. ly; knew in a terrible instant that the saying was true. My hair was curly! I was tickle; here was the first evidence of it. I was on the edge of my marriage, and didn't want to marry @
 Suppose the cursed weakness, my f1ckleness, were to follow me through life. Suppose were to find- that my love was not strong enough. I was twenty-five; we would probably be married 40 years! Forty years-the thought staggered me.
 People had. said that they never knew a man who prized his independ- ence more than I. It came over me now of sudden than in 12 hours 1 would no longer have any independ- ence. Tomorrow morning and tomor- row and tomorrow, for 40 years, 1 would have to make every deci- sion not on the basis of what wanted to do do. but of what we wanted to do.
 "For 40 years, would never be able to go anywhere, do anything, meet anybody, without girl on. my arm, The sweetest, loveliest girl in the world, to be sure-but still girl. To- morrow would De married, and the day after tomorrow, and the world without end-"-Woman's Home Com panion.

The number of workers who spend as they earn and all they earn is almost beyond belief. The cities are full of them. Loss of work, illness, or some unusual call on a workers earnings leaves him prac- tically pauper. In his work ho must be slave or machine i'll un- .eongenial employment, for he has nothing on which to draw while ho seeks for something better.
 Thrift has been well described IS the science of spending upward. Without thrift one debars ones self from the glorious privilege of indes pendence. To spend money wisely and to the best advantage, one needs to exercise forethought, or one may accumulate unsuitable and unneces- sary things.
 Along with forethought must go order. Acquire the habit during the incoming year of keeping an account of all personal expenditures down to the last penny. Train the chil- dren to do the same with their pocket money. It will be a great edr;ea- tiona1 power. Never treat money affairs with levity," said Bulwer Lyt- ton. Money is character"
 It no doubt took great deal of self-denial for soldier during the Civil War to save money, but "Pri- vate Joe" Fifer, as he was known throughout the middle West in the eighties, did it, He saved $50 oi his hard earned money to pay for an education, and after the war was over he began to study law, though he had begun life as a bricklayer. By dint of the, same perseverance with which he saved the money for his education, he became governor o' the State of Illinois.

Religious Freedom in Japan.

In no country in the world is there given a freer hand for the propaga- tion of any religion. In a country like Japan, where the state and peo- pie are governed by spirit of na- tionahsm, the principles of Christian ity are most suited. It is to be hoped that missionaries will redouble their zeal in promoting the welfare and hap piness of the Japanese.-Editorial in Japanese daily paper.

OF HISTORIC INTEREST
TOWN OF GORIZIA RESTING
 PLACE OF ROYALTY.
Among Many Others, It Contains tho Tombs of Charles x and "Henry VI" of France-Known as "Aus-
 trian Nice."

Mentioned almost daily in the war dispatches from the Italo-Austrian front, the little town of Gorizia has gained considerable prominence of late.
 Besides being the center of impor- tant military operations, Gorizia is of interest because of it's historic asso- citations. Lying between Venice and Trieste, not far from the Adriatic, Co., rizia has population of about 20,000.
 The town has been an Austrian pos session for more than five centuries, and it's pleasant climate has earned it the name of the Austrian Nice" In the outskirts on hill is Fran ciscan monastery, the road to which is marked by the 14-station way of the cross. From the esplanade in front of the monastery church an extensive view of the surrounding country is ob- tained. ..-
 Below spreads the town, with the ancient chateau of the counts of Co., rizia and the Villa Boeckmann, once the winter residence of the count de Chambord, towering over the less pre- tentious houses. A little further off one can trace the capricious course of the Isonzo river, the bed of which is said to the the burial place of Atilla, the Hun chieftain.
 r In the distance lies the Carso lime- stone plateau, sheltering the magnifi- cent castles of Duino, belonging to the house of Hohenlowe, and Miramar, which used to be the favorite resi- dence of Archduke Maximilian, later emperor of Mexico.
 The horizon is bounded by Trieste, chain of snow-covered Alp peaks, the Venetian plain and the Adriatic. In the little chapel of St. Louis, in the right wing of the Franciscan church, the bodies of King Charles X of France, the duke and duchess d'An- gouleme and the duchess of Parma had their resting place until 1883, when they were removed to large vault under the high altar.
 In this vault there are SIX sarcoph- agi, three on each side of marble crucifix, raised on a high pedestal. Charles X has the duke d'Angouleme on his right and the duchess on his left.
 In the other group the sarcophagus of King Henry V (the count de Cham bord) has been placed between those of the countess de Chambord and the duchess of Parma.
 On black marble slab behind the sarcophagus of the count de Cham bord is the following inscription: | Here rests the high born and very excellent Prince Henry, fifth of the name, by the grace of God king of France and Navarro. Born in Paris, September 29, 1920. Died. at Frohs- dorf August "A, 1883."
 Over his tomb is raised an immense white banner emblazoned with the royal feur de lis, in compliance with the order given by the count in his manifesto of July 5, 1871, where he expressed wish that the standard of Henry w, of Francis and of Joan of Arc, which had floatep over his cradle, should also throw its shadow over his tomb"

With Hyomei you take into the air

purpose is to entcr the blood with the

have been received from those who
have been helped by Hyomei
A complete outfit is inexpensive and

Perhaps the strongest evidence that
can be given to doubters, is the fact
that Wilfred f. Root has so much faith
in Hyomei that he sells every package
