Common Sanse Creed.

Almost twenty-five years ago. when
life was less strenuous than it is now,
the following common sense creed
was formulated. If its need was felt
then how much more will it be apprc-
ciated today.
Don't worry.
Don't hurry. TOO swift arrives as
tardy as too slow"
Simplify, simplify. simplify.
Don't overeat. Don't starve. Let
your moderation be known to all men.
Court the fresh air day and night.
"Oh, If you knew what is in the air.
Sleep and rest abundantly. Sleep is
natures benediction.
Spend less nervous energy each day
than you make.
Be cheerful. "a light heart lives
long
Think only beautiful thoughts AS
man thinketh in his heart so is he"
Work like Il man, but don't be work
ed to death.
Avoid passion and excitement. a
moments anger may be fatal.
Never despair. Lost hope is a fatal
disease
IF We know these things, happy are
We If we do them

HER SHOES.
What the Woman Who Is Well Dressed

What the Woman Who Is Well Dressed
viii Not Do.
The woman who is really well dress
ed does not wear smart frock and Il
becoming hat and then ruin her whole
appearance by clothing her feet in Il
pair of shoddy shoes, run down at the
heel and perhaps unpublished. And yet
many women who are fastidious as to
their appearance, who would not think
of going out of the house without their
suits being well pressed, their blouses
being fresh and dainty, their wells ad-
justed in just the right way, will for
get entirely 10 look at the condition of
their shoes. Perhaps these will be
worn and dusty and will be made still
uglier by being worn with a pair of
solled and crumpled spats.
There is nothing prettier than well
shod feet nothing uglier than a pair
of neglected, rundown, soiled shoes.
And now that abbreviated skirts are
fashionable the girl who wants TO be
we'll dressed will take great pains in
selecting her shoes. and once she has
purchased an appropriate and pretty
pair she will take still greater pains
to keep them In good condition.
Never take off pair of shoes with
out putting a pair of trees in them i'm
mediately This will help them to keep
their shape and also will help to pro
long the life of the boots. When there
is the least suspicion of the heels he
coming run down send them TO the
hootmaker's Immediately and have
them Strengthened. Nothing looks so
shabby as Il pair Of crooked heels
Now as to some of the novelties to
be seen this spring. In the first place

such favorable impression this win

the smartest shoes having either light
tan or light gray uppers. Gun metal
leather and dark gray tops are also
considered smart. while a tan shoe

The Easter Rabbit.

\ symbol of Easter quite as familiar
is the Easter hare which is closely as
sociated with the moon.
There have been all sorts of fancies
concerning the moon, from the phases
of which the time of Easter is fixed,
and among many nations the hare is
the symbol of the moon itself.
The Hindu and Japanese artists
painted the hare across the moon it.

Game Of Acid Drops.

Let the company sit in two rows.
facing each other, the ladies in one
row and the gentlemen opposite them.
Two leaders must be nominated. of
whom one Il lady, walks along behind
the row Of gentlemen. and whispers
to each serious question, which they
must in turn address later TO their
vis-a-vis.
The gentleman leader walks behind
the row of ladies and to each whispers
something of a perfectly absurd, or
very biting character, which each must
repeat in answer to the question ask
ed Of her by her opposite. Neither
leader must know anything OF the
questions or answers proposed.
The gentleman at the head of his
row, then. at given signal asks with
due gravity of the lady opposite TO
him the question that was given TO
him. She will reply, with equal gray
ity, in the exact words Of the answer
that has been given her. Question and
answer must be repeated thrice with
out the shadow of a smile.
The next couple then take up the
task, and so on until every couple has
gone through the ordeal Failure in
any respect whatever puts the person
out Of the game.
This game Is so popular that an en-.
core is sometimes demanded. In that
case the ladies will ask the questions
given by the gentleman leader and the
gentlemen give the answers prompted
by the lady leader.

TO SIMPLIFY COURT PROCEDURE
Recommendation Made by Vermont
Commission.


The special commission appointed
by Gov. Gates to examine the statutes
and suggest changes therein to simp-
lify and improve court practice and
procedure are about ready TO report
to the Vermont Legislature. One of
the commissioners is Harland b.
Howe of st. Johnsbury, just appoint
ed United States district judge, the
others being Justice George NJ. Pow
ers and Judge Frank l.. Fish. Lazy
ers everywhere will be interested in
the following outline of the report:
While the details may be changed
somewhat the general plan of the re-
port will provide that the forms of
civil action shall be contract, tort,
replevin, and ejectment. Pealdings
will be materially simplified by max
ing complaint which shall set forth
in brief and simple language the facts
relied upon and relief demanded.
The answer shall either be a denial
of all or part of the allegations or a
brief and simple statement OF the
facts relied upon for defense. A de
murrer must distinctly specify the
reason why the pleading demurred to
is insufficient.
No pleading shall be rejected on
account of form but may be amend.
ed in form at any stage of the pro-
ceedings if the fault is pointed out.
The supreme court before reveiw-
ing any case shall have a certified
copy OF the entire testimony and
judges charge, the offers and objec-
tons made, the rulings fthe courts,
etc. But the parties in the suit with
the approval of the presiding judge
may agree upon an abridgment OF
such transcript as a sufficient bill
No judgment shall be reversed or
new trial granted in any civil or
criminal case unless the supreme
court shall find that the error has in
juriously affected the substantial
rights of the parties

Polished Hardwood Ones from Arizona,
 Envy of Capital Society

set of magic knitting needles in- vented by an Arizonan, created sen sation Tn Washington society recently when introduced at sewing bee pre- sided over by Mrs. Thomas R. Marshall. wife of the vice president.
 Ever since the outbreak of the Euro pean war, women throughout the country have been busily engaged in fashioning articles for the Belgian ref ugees or the Red Cross. Knitting mufflers and wristlets has been greatly in vogue everywhere, especially in Washington in both the resident and diplomatic sets, the revival of the Host art" being responsible for the introduc- tion of many novel needles. There have been a variety of the old fashioned steel sort, some of bone, others of tortoise shell, etched and enameed silver in at- tractive assortment while the wife of one of the members of the cabinet has a handsome set of gold studded in jewels It remained for Mrs. Marshall to use the most unique and most ad- mired set in the capital. The needles are hand made from hard wood, the work of an Arizona man and she prizes them dearly. She has the distinction of owning the only ones of the kind in Washington and her possession is the envy of her friends
 Statesmen who have heretofore been greatly respected and admired by well known society matrOns are now re- garded as incompetent Not one of them have accomplished the feat of whiting and polishing needles and un- til he does the gentleman from Scotts- dale will hold first place in the hearts of those who are bending their ener- gies toward relieving the soldiers across tEe seas.
 Mrs. Marshall acquired her needles when she visited her parents MT. and Mrs William E. Kimsey in Scottsdale in January and gave a sewing bee to the women of the neighboring ranches.
