these charming affairs when her newest

There we're so many wonderful creations

to tell about them all Chiffons, taffetas

brocaded chiffons are combined with plain
materials, and pastel colors are the rage.
In fact / didn't see one vivid color in

white effects are in vogue, and metallic
trimmings are still being used.

CHILDREN'S CORNER
Trouble Comes to Frisky Cottontail

AFTER they made friends with the
"A two little girls, II so silly crea-
ture as a wild rabbit may be called a
friend, Frlsky and his little mate never
lacked for food. Lucky It was that they
had the children's help, too. for after
the five little Friskys came to the new

to keep his family supplied with food

carrots and the tempting tit-blts which

work carly and late for his little fam
ily; but the awful alleys he had to
CROSS the grocery boys who threw
rocks, the autos and the street cars all
nlled his soul with fear and made him
AFRAID to Journey far In search of
food.
Many a time he had wished himself
back in the woods where he knew ex-
actly what the dangers we're. But
wishing is idle business and moving was
not TO be thought of till the babies were
grown.
And how they did grow Frlsky and
his mate were perfectly sure that never
before were there five such fine rabbits

one day after Frisky had brought in to
the nest an extra choice bit of food
Think how those girls would like to see
them" she thought. proudly.
Don't you even speak to me of such
a thing" exclaimed Frisky in terror
You stay right in here, with the chill
dren and you have no idea of the dan

the children out till they are able TO
run and care for themselvesr
Poor little Frisky! Little did he

the tale. Sensible women are attrac-

when their common sense doesn't run
away with them! Men hate the over

the men right and putting them in their
places! And small wonder that that
should be so! A man hates to be men

The opinions of men on this most inter

the same time scarcely convincing. Yes,
n man does like woman to be sensible"
declared one recently. but at the same
time he doesn't want her to overdo the
thing, I think that equal parts of sense
ard folly mingled are very attractive
in a woman"
Another man was more sweeping in
his statements. There's no such thing
as sensible woman" he declared
tersely, lat any rate. not till she's over
30! A woman isn't really worth talking
to until she has reached years of sense!
Yes. of course man likes a sensible
woman for a permanent companion. The

''Made in U. S. A."
Follow Trade Routes Devised by Drake
and Other Freebooters-Big Busi-
ness No Longer Needs Urging
to Seize Chance.

New Yorktown at the wharves
these days there are Yankee steamers,
flying the Stars and Stripes, loading
with MADE in U. S. A" products
bound for the Spanish main.
The trade routes that Drake and
his crew of freebooting heroes orig
mated in their task of plundering
Spanish cities of South America, are
followed by more American ships than
European now, where a few months
ago it was the Union Jack or Norwe-
gian or German flag that flew from
the mastheads of the ships in the
tropics.
Big business, the kind that deals in
millions, no longer needs urging to
seize its opportunity, and the little
fellows who deal in thousands instead
of millions are following the leaders.
A dozen or more ships are clearing
every week for Argentina and Brazil
and for ports on the west coast OF
South America, via the canal.
And South American goods are COM

Argentine republic in New York, is
sued an official statement in which he
pleaded for closer trade relations be-
tween the United States and Argen-
tina.

well as markets for your products"
he said "The United States is inter
ested in capturing our markets by
selling its products to us, but does not
reciprocate in purchasing our goods
to a similar degree. Argentine wool
and hides are bought in the London
markets by American importers. Why
not import them direct to America
and save the middleman's prof1t?"
Yankee millionaires saw the chance,
and there are few ships now en- route
from Buenos Aires with Argentine
products which will be sold in the
open market here.
The Argentine consul's plea was fol-

TO CUT POWERS
OF COMMISSIONERS.

Ex-Congressman Claude L'Engle
at Tallahassee where he is furnishin
letters on legislative doings to a nun
ber of state papers. From one sue
we take the following:
One legislative subject on
which every one agrees is that
the power and privileges of the
County Commissioners must be
abbreviated. This class of
public officers have gotten in
to a perfectly inexplicable habit
of shutting their eyes and going
ahead and spending the peoples
money without regard to what
the law says about it. By
this, the County Commissioners
have fixed a floating debt on
the people of Florida without
warrant or authority of law, of
just a little short of three and a
half million dollars. Starting
with a 100000 debt in Duval,
practically every County, is in
volved in greater or smaller
amounts as the whim of the
County Commissioners may have
urged them. Goldstein of Mas
sau, Hurtenbach of Escambia in
the House, Farris of Duval, Cal
kins of Nassau, in the Senate
are working on the subject.
The prevailing belief is that it
is perfectly useless to pass more
laws telling the County commits
sioners what they can't do, un-
less there is a punitive provis-
ion in the law or laws that will
land the County Commissioners
in the County Jail if they break
them. Senator Farris proposes
to make the Attorney General
the official legal adviser of all
boards OF County Commission
ers, thus insuring the Commits
sioners legal advice from a strict
ly legal standpoint instead of
the advice they have been get
ting from local attorneys employ
ed by them. which in most cases
fitted with the desires and wishes
of the County Commissioners
themselves.
