The Angles and Saxons were the
chief tribes among the three principal
Teutonic conquerors Of Britain; the
Jutes were the third. They were Low
Dutch tribes from the borderlands of
Germany and Scandinavia, the lands
at the mouth of the Elbe and the
Weser. Their language was an indie
pendent branch of the Teutonic fam
lily. The Saxons were the first inva-
ders, but the Angles settled more

people. The short and homely words

prospect of getting more money.
If he settles in the new country
for good, and has not left behind a
sweetheart to whom he writes assur
ing letters of hope and affection, they
jump at the conclusion that he cared
for none well enough to leave his
heart in her keeping. They do not
hesitate to affirm that he is to marry
money instead of yearning for the re.
fined girl companion he was wont to
go with. Wiseacres had nodded that
he would make match with this old
flame or that lively favorite; that
he was only waiting to have the knot
tied until he was able to get a cozy
cottage, furnished, for their occupan'
cy, just large enough for two, to com
mence with.
These rumors are dispelled whe1;
one from their home town takes q
long journey, and accidentally runs
across the young man who has settled
far and away from his friends of other
days. Although they had been init
mate friends, and but few years
had gone by since they had been sep
arated, they scarcely recognized one
another in the changes that had takeI
place.
It has been truly said that man Is
most always nodded in accordance
with his environment. The surround
ings of the stranger in a far-off place
cause him ofttimes to change his
habits; to become less careful Of his
personality, which is more in keeping
with those he is brought in contact
with
He tries to shake off his loneliness
1t is then that the face Of buxom,
light-hearted young woman with whom
he is thrown in contact appeals to
him irresistibly. She is plain; has no
particular charm, but that of kindly,
sweet disposition. He does not stop
to think if she is in every respect
the same fascinating girl as those he
once liked. He throws comparisons
to the winds. There's no money match
about this wooing and wedding; just
pure, simple love on his part. She
has won mans heart and he will
work for riches and happiness glad
ly for her.

For many generations the Panama
hat was woven in one shape, and it
took much urging and good manage
ment on the part of those who bought
and imported the genuine South Amer
lean Panama hat to persuade the ma
tive makers to produce other shapes.
But finally this was accomplished and
now one may buy Panama in almost
any shape. Not all the hats known by
this name are South American prod
ucts, (there are Panamas and Pana-
mas), but whether made in Japan or
Connecticut, or brought from it's ma
tive home, the Panama is a beautiful
product.
1t is and is likely to continue to be
the ideal hat for midsummer outing
wear, for sports and for travelling. 1t
Is soft enough to be comfortable, and
uncrushable and firm enough to need
no support. 1t is made with the inten-
ton of fitting the head, as to the
crown, and for shading the eyes, as to
the brim. But in the past few seasons
it has been possible to get Panamas
with very wide brims, and these have
added one more to the number of
wide-brimmed straws used for the
picturesque f1ower-laden millinery of
midsummer.
But the hat that is dearest to the
heart Of lovers of the Panama is that
which keeps as close as possible to
the original, mannish shape or va

ration that does not seem to change
it's character. Three popular shapes
selected from this seasons showing Of
Panamas are illustrated here. They
are to be recommended as practical
and becoming and correct in type.
These hats are usually very simply
trimmed with bands of silk, ribbon or
linen. Flat rosettes or hanging scarf
ends are favorite decorations, and not
to be improved upon. The wide
brimmed shapes are sometimes
swafhed with malines and finished
with huge bows of this fabric. Occa'
sionally flowers or feathers adorn
them. But narrow-brimmed Panama'
are trimmed in the simplest mama
possible.
The fine South American Panama,
IL well cared for, will stand many
seasons wear. These hats can be
cleaned and reblocked if one wishes
to change the shape. But it is better
to sWathe the hat in wide silk or chifs
fon scarf than to reblock it, and to
wear it in it's original shape. A hat
so fine, SO shapely and sensible will
always look well.
1t seems a pity to wear cut a hat
whose making involves such pains
taking and wonderful work, by using
hat pin. In a fine hat it is better
to sew hat fasteners in the band and
secure it to the head in this way.

and boXlike from the shoulders to at
least six inches below the normal
waist line. Small tucks play very i'm
portant part in its construction, ap-
pearing over the shoulders and part
way across the front. They supply
the required scant fullness in the ma
terial that is caught in by the garni-
ture of braiding at the bottom. The
braiding is in silk soutache like that
in the skirt, with the pattern wild
ened at the front The long plain
sleeves are finished with small tucks
in group of seven on the forearm
and a second group of five on the up
per arm. A narrow pattern in the
braiding outlines the arm's-eye.
There is a tall standing turnover

black velvet is brought twice around
the throat 1t supports the collar
close under the chin and terminates
in two long ends at the front.

lost sight of in completing a toilette

WHY YOUR WIFE WOULD LIKE
TO BE YOUR STENOGRAPHER

Oh, why should love get in a stew,
Conclude with Cupids curse!
They that do change old love for new
Pray gods they change for worse.
If you were to ask a goodly mum.
Der of the wives of business men
what they would be, could they but
be touched by some good fairy's wand
and turned into what they would, it
is not queen of fashion they would
yearn to become, nor yet a glorious
star in the theatrical armament, or
silver-throated songstress' laurels
would they crave.
If their one aspiration could be
realized, it would be to become ste
nographer in hubby's office. He pays
twenty per week to 1.-THE other arm in
his Office" wiley would gladly as
sumo the same duties for half that
amount-or he need pay her only
what he had a mind to if business
was dull.
The average wife wonders why hus
bands would not jump at such an Of
fer from their heartmates. She could
hang family pictures around and
about the Office, making it look for all
the world like home. He would have
someone to confide in when perplexed
and needing advice, such as only an
interested woman could give; hold
his head when it ached dreadfully,
and whisper CHEEKY consolation when
he was most in need of it. 1t would
do away with the necessity of his
having to explain at home why he
remained in his office so late, and al
lowed his soft heart to be touched by
Mrs. Tom, Dick and Harry, who wan
dered into his Office according to his
story to collect money for distant
heather, this, that and the other
thing to which he could not well help
contributing.
And then his business affairs. The
majority of wives are usually at sea
and in a fog concerning that which is
of such vital concern to them. If
they were but his stenographers, they
could keep a bead on his income and
Wudt Tic OuISO w dS 1OI I1S
have to send out for ice cream and
cake for luncheon for his wife-a
sandwich and a cup of tea would suf-
flee her.
And then wouldn't it be delightful
to have wife coming and going with
him? Hubby then could have the
backbone to resent Indignantly the
ogling and smiles cast his way on
street and in car by designing fe-
males. He'd save temper, money,
and honor, perhaps, by such an ar
rangement.
Of course she'd have to run home
now and then to see if the baby in
nurse girls charge was all right, and
an hour or so on the day the Dun
cans or somebody else we're to call.
She couldn't miss the Wednesday
matinee, and then the marketing
she'd have to slip away from the Of
fee awhile every morning to attend
to that.
One week in hubbys Office would
teach the average wife that there's
no place like dear, old, sweet home
for her.

The unusual and distinguished style
of this costume has been achieved
by the employment of familiar mate
rails. White wolfe, very fine in quail
ity, filet lace, with an open mesh,
soutache braid, and pearl buttons are
all staple goods well known and well
loved. ~s
The pretty fashion of posing one
transparent fabric over another shows
to excellent advantage in the skirt.
The underskirt of voile is full and
round. Above the two-inch hem there
are seven narrow tucks an inch and
half apart. Just above the knees a
band of braiding, in an ornamental
scroll pattern, is applied all around
the underskirt, finishing it's decora-
ton.
The overdress of filet lace does not
extend to the bottom Of the under
skirt, but is shorter by about nine
inches. 1t is gathered in at the waist
line with the wolfe, leaving a panel
of the underskirt uncovered at the
front, for the lace does not extend
across the entire front of the gown.
1t is caught up and fastened to the
underskirt just below the knees at
each side, forming a slight drape.

AUGUSTUS LYON, Terre Hill, Pa.
It is true that nature and a woman's
work mas produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
a remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever COM
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds Of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health - many of them openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound;
and in some cases that it has saved them
from surgical operations.

girls who sit and wait idly for luck to

girls who had ambition and pushed.
One girl takes pains to make herself
as attractive to the eye as her limita-

There she IS in error. The manager

She has nothing to wear, so she does
not go out of an evening. A little in
genuity might transform her extra
black waist into thing of beauty with

has worked during the day. She is not

them out of their dark, sordid sur
