MODEsTY IS CHARMING.

Dear Miss Lfbbey:-
 / When out in company, [ blush vio- lently, much to my ernbarra rrassment. How can I overcome it? do not go to many places on this account. Do please advise me.
 AD. R. Make an effort to forget yourself en- tirely. By determination it can be speedily overcome. A girl who, bushes in charming confusion is more attrac- tive than she realizes. Of such maid ems the poet says:
 fsAn exquisite incompleteness, blossom
 foreshadowing fruit;
 A sketch faint in it's beauty, with
 promise of future worth, A plant with some leaves unfoIded
 and the rest asleep at the root, To deck with their future sweetness
 the fairest thing on earth.''

TEACHERS PENSION MOVEMENT.

It is perhaps not generally ,realized how much is now being done to pro- vide for the old age of teachers. The Carnegie Foundation for the Asd- vancement of Teaching made it's an nual report the past week, showing nearly S700. 900 paid for pensions for college professors. But this is only one phase of the movement. Twelve states now have a general public school teachers pension law, and 1 have one applicable to the larger towns and cities.
 The effect of this idea, new in the United States. is becoming far-reach- ing. though it may not draw a great manys young people into the profess sion- To girls at the graduation ages the term of service required for. a pension looks long. and natrimony looms large.
 But after a young woman has been teaching for four or five years, she begins to find the sharp Limitations of her employment, looked at from the business viewpoint Witch the growing independence of the sex. there are a. great many girls today who are not thinking seriously of

It is cut in one piece being especially designed for misses and small women and has a straight lower edge and high waist circular yoke may be added. In aver age size the skirt requires to reproduce, sh yards 44-irich material
 Since the fashionable width about the bottom is about 81z yards 1t will be necessary to piece the skirt and in cut ting the piecing is laid on an open width of the material The skirt prop lengthwise fold of the goods. The yoke follows the skirt, being placed at the extreme right of the material, on cross wise threads, but on lengthwise fold. If the yoke is liked better in shorter length, or pointed at the center-front, cut off indicating double t'oo'' perfora- dons. The. lines of single small O. perforations indicate how it may be cut if the yoke is to be pointed at the sides.
 The skirt is made by first pleating i: on creasing lines of slot perforatiou~ bringing the folded edges to correspond ing lines of small ''o'' perforations. The folded edge is now brought near the center-back to center and stitched es desired. The pressing should be done very carefully and precedes the closing Of the back seam. This seam is stitch ed from large 70" perforation to lower edge, after which the edges are finished above the opening. Adjust the yoke te position on skirt, center-fronts, upper and back edges even. Adjust betting two inches wide to position.

CANE HIS WEAPON
 IN DARING SALLY

Cairo June 10-In recent de- spatches from this place mention was made of the nameIess hero of Sed-e1- Bahr-a certain colonel who, after the difficult landing operations there, and subsequent to the assault on the fortress, led the men in a gallant bayonet charge up a hill. All he car ried was a small cane, but band he wore on his arm apparently was that of a staff officer. He walked about in the open under a continuous fire talking to the men, cheering them up and raIying then together. When they were all ready for the bayonet charge. he placed himself in front of them all, and armed simply with this small cane, led the charge up the hin The moral effect of the officers action was great. The men charged up the hill and cleared their enemy from his position but the un- known officer lost his fife. It now transpires that the officer was Ma jor Doughty-Wylie and the hill on which he met his death is. now known as 'Doughty-Wylie's Hill''
 He had no business to be there as he was staff officer. but the loss among the officers in landing had been so great, and the necessity for n1ak- ing headway quickly was so essen tiaI, that Major Dough- hty -Wylie acted ins the emergency.

marriage. Their first aim is a de- penda ble life-work. A long career as a teacher at low pay and with many expenses looks less and less at tractive as the years go by. There is no chance to secure a. reserve for old age.
 Hence many of them find their way into other emp1oynents. They find more attractive opportunities in business ventures of their own, as private secretaries, etc. and some are going into farming.
 Realizing the growing scarcity of good teachers, and to hold in their positions many young women who otherwise would quit for more high ly rewarded fields the teachers pen sion novement has grown rapidly. It must tend to concentrate good teach CTS in the larger cities and in states that provide. this highly desirable in centive.s Small places and states without pension system find that their schools are considered too much as a place to "try it on the dog" The more gifted girls are apt to work there only until they reach place where the teachers service is more highly valued.

DO NOT ENCOURAGE
 FAMILIARITY
Dear Miss Lib bbey:-

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 Will you tell me the different ways of putting on stamps on letters or cards? How old should a girl be to keep company with a young man? If a man asks to kiss a girl should she accept? Is it right for girl to al- low a, young man to have his arm around her while out riding or in com pany? Should a young man take a girl to the door of her home if he ae- companies her home from parties?
 M. F. There is but one correct manner in af1xing stamp to a letter or card. Place it straight and in upper right hand corner Not under 18, 20 is bet ter. The girl who ernits kisses for fefts respect. No. familiarity breeds contempt It is proper to accompany her to her own door and leave her there with a courteous good night.

POOR sHAD SEASON.
 OVER AT MIDNIGHT

At midnight last night the shay fishermen drew up their g ,saRgenlhg nets out of the Connecticut River for the last time in, the season of 1915, ending what has been generally considered a disappointing year. all though no less profitable than the previous year. The shad season of. 1915 has shown little if any differ ence from that of the last few years, and only the high prices offered for the scaIy de1icacy have tempted the emulators of branch of Isaac Wal toms art to continue their efforts. One of the causes ascribed for the failure to net more sInad is that there was no freshet during inc shad season this year

 I am S8 years old, bachelor, called good looking, and of independent means. There are no girls whom I know who interest me, but it is dawn ing on me that should marry. How shall set about it?

The right kind of a girl chooses true love in prefer ence to wealth every time. Every hamlet, village and town has it's quota of sweet, 1ovable girls. Get some nnu- tual friend to introduce you to a few young ladies. If you fail to make an impression on the heart of any one of these you will have to look further. 1 assure you the right kind of a girl is not easily won.

CORNER FOR COOKS

A'FUssY REGULATION.

The new regulation based on the Interstate Commerce . Commissions s ruling, that railroad passengers must declare the value of their baggage, is causing a good deal of adverse com .ment- Large railroad stations are commonly a place of disorderly tur- moil at busy times of day Some times 1t seems impossible to get at tention unless a liberal tip is handed out. Imposing new formalities and red tape means simply to pile up du- ties on overworked baggage men.
 The American people have a habit of arriving at the station about ten minutes before train time, and expect to complete all their business in "a hurry. To get there a half hour ahead of time impresses them as an interminable wait It is easy to see how much thought and pains will be given to the declarations of the value of baggage.
 This unpopular regulation might serve one possible use, however. if it would lead people to acquire the hab- it of getting to stations in sufficient season to attend to details with less hurry, furry and scurry.

Preparfng tIae Dfnner.

An hour is really all that can be spared reasonably at that time of day for preparing the dinner, and with forethought this can sometimes be cut in half. Division of the task into one. period of preparation, another for cooking, and the first to be incIud- ed in the mornings work is a good illustration of efficiency in the kitchen and of giving the housewife an op- portunity to be more than a. drudge.
 Plan to have the marketing done, early in the day and to make sure that it is complete. A telephone and a. small boy in the family often lead to carelessness in ordering and the slip shod way of sending out for a little of this and that late in the day should be broken up by doing without some thing until the next morning. The inconvenience win help break up the faulty habit.
