There was certain animation In

read these lines. These were not
needed to at once invoke a remem-

Eleanor retained vivid memory of
the bright. gentlemanly young fellow
who had been their companion for
nearly a week. He was musical, ed

of courtesy and refinement and had
left a distinctly pleasing impression
on the mind OF Eleanor.
She was astounded at the implica-
ton of dishonesty made by her fa-
ther. She had regarded Brill as the
soul of honor. More than once in gay
frivolous social circles she had COM
pared her fiippant admirers with this

The quest for something new In
millinery for fall has begun in earnest
and there is no indication that the
seekers after novelty and beauty will
be disappointed. Ideas originated by
our own American designers, and
some others. which the French. in
spite of the distractions OF war, have
had the inspiration and the time to
work out are more than creditable to
both countries. The new millinery is
rich and chic and sufficiently novel
There is a great variety in graceful
shapes 10 choose from Noticeably
prominent are those that tilt upward
at the back. There are many high.
crowned hats and many OF uneven

liner endless latitude in the shaping

laces and braids bespeak a winter OF
rich effects in millinery This is
borne out by the trimmings OF fur. and
OF flowers made OF silk materials,
many OF them covered with metallic
gauzes. Cut steel ornaments and

all authoritative displays The most

Everybody is pleased with the light,

golfing outfits, and all sorts OF sports
clothes in which the feminine half Of

the gay colors are to continue, and the
dashing broad stripes, too. And with
them, white and cream color in heavy
knitted caps, sweaters and scarfs are
not by any means an infrequent
sight.
The golfing sweater and cap shown

quiet colors are made for the few who
like grave things. One sees these
scarfs everywhere-with street suits
on the shopping rounds, in the autos
along the drives, at the outdoor con-
certs, and on the business girl going
to and from her work. In gold and
light yellow, in rose and primrose
pink. In vivid green and brilliant
cerise they greet the coming autumn
with hues as bright as those Of the
turning leaves.
The sweater shown here has a col
lar and belt in line with the new
styles, wherein belt across the
back or extending part way round the
figure is much featured. The cap
to match is made with becomingness
as well as comfort i'm mind. A scarf,
added to these two pieces, leaves
nothing to be needed for the out-of-
doors life led by those who have
learned to defy the weather.

Interpretation of Pain.

Pain has been explained as an &C.
compartment of the Promethean spirit
of life, which, in perceptible haste to
proceed upon it's journey, takes the
most ready and efficacious path on
ward, needless of what it breaks and
brushes on the way. But pain is
rather an impulse within the spirit of
life. Pain is its conscience urging it
on. Unless We were pricked on by
pain we should wish to stand still, con-
tent with our own satisfaction, meanly
Indifferent to higher pleasures; with
out pain all life might have been con-
tent to house itself in low animal
forms and wallow in bestiality, ease
and lust. 1t may be that the onward
progress might. have been accom-
plished without pain, we might have
been whirled upward, insensible satel-
lites, toward the universal goal. But
we have received the privilege of con-
sciously sharing in the upward jour
ney. Each onward movement must be
a wrench from the past, each moment
a parting, each step an eternal fare
well. These noble inconsistencies are
tasks imposed by pain.-From the At
lantic.

The Three p's in the Educational
Garden.

Mrs. Cora Wilson-Stewart, who con-
Quoted the Adair County Teachers
Institute at Columbia last week,
lectured at the court house Thursday
evening to large, appreciateive au-
dience, composed Of the citizens of
the town and county and the county
teachers. Mrs. Stewart was intro
ced by county superintendent Huffa-
ker as one of the leading educators of
the nation.
There was much speculation among
the teaching profession as to what
was meant by the three P's. The
anxiety was relieved, however, when
the speaker announced that they
stood for Parent, Pupil and Petagogue.
Each of the three factors were ably
discussed by the speaker in all their
different phases.
The education of parent as well as
pupil, by the pedagogue, was urged.
Mrs. Stewart said there were teach
ers in Kentucky who were as great
philanthropists as Jane Adams or An
drew Carnegie, teachers who saw in
every illiterate young man the posi-
bilities of an Owen Kildare, James
Garfield, an Abraham Lincoln. She
lauded teacher who volunteered
teaching at night. She plead for a
more careful study of the child, of a
more sympathetic understanding of
his qualities. She said there were no
dull pupils, if the lying pupil could
be developed into an author, the fight
ing one into surgeon, the conten-
tious one into lawyer and the incor-
rigible one into politicians. She
dwelt upon the influence of the teach
er saying the teacher through his in
fuence lived forever.
Although Mrs Stewart had under.
gone the. strain of the hardest and
most enthusiastic day of the splendid
institute which she conducted, she
charmed the audience by her master.
full discussion Of the subject and the
splendid manner in which the mes
sage was presented. Mrs. Stewart is
very popular with the teachers of the
institute and the citizenship of thi:
place. They have faith in both hel
ability and her work.

by dog that is continually swapping
at her heels must suffer great deal
of pain as her udder is thrown from
side to side by the movement of her
fleet limbs. If man is too lazy to
walk after his cows he had better get
on his horse and ride. A well trained
