things must have turned her attention
recently to artificial flowers: For these
cunning copies of natures beauty-Won-
ders are compelling attention every
where because they are used in new
and unusual ways We are used to
seeing them in corsage bouquets and
replacing natural flowers in the lim0u

girdles; about the waist and in
wreaths about the hair, but these are
only mere beginnings of their useful
ness as it has been lately developed.
Everywhere little blossoms nestle
in bows and rosettes of malines or.
lace, ornamenting collars and cuffs,
They dangle, iii place of ribbons, in
hanging sprays from the girdle. They
are perched in bright sprays on the

adorn the pincushion, the perfume

The Defective Baby.

At q time when politicians and gen.
erals have to decide almost every day
whether to purchase trench or hill
at the cost of so, many human lives, the
death of helpless baby has set a
whole nation talking. This happens
to be nation which cannot boast,
that. it cares supremely about its ba-
bies, for hundreds of thousands of
them die every year of preventable
causes. They die of tenements which
could be ventilated, of milk that could
be kept clean, of neglect that could
be remedied. They die because their
fathers are underpaid, because their
mothers are overworked; they are run
over on city streets because there
are insufficient Fairgrounds; they are
infected by dirt diseases; they are
starved. Given a chance in life most
Of them would become happy and use
full. They are refused that chance be-
cause public opinion is too indolent,
because many landlords and business
men are too greedy, because poll
ticians are cowaTdly and ignorant.
Every year hordes of fine human be-
ings are condemned to death because
1t costs too much to save them. But
the refusal to keep alive deformed
idiot has become a moral issue
throughout the nation.-From the New
Republic.

1t is a good idea to buy an extra
yard or so of the material selected for
a tailored suit, in order that the coat
or skirt, or both, may be altered and
the suit remedeled Good fabrics out
last styles, and suit is often regret
fully consigned to the discard, not be-
cause it is worn but because styles
have changed since it was made.
A suit that is required to do more
than one seasons service without any
alteration should be conservative in
style. A plain skirt of medium full
ness, and box coat or one OF the
plain, semifitted models, if we'll made
of good oaaterial and fine finish, is
never out of the running.
A good model to follow in remaking
suit is shown in the picture given
here. The skirt is made with an in
verted panel set in at the back and
front, and narrow skirt may be wild
ened by the addition of such panels
Another good plan for widening mar
row skirt is to split it up at each side
to the swell of the hip. Here it is

to go out to Australia, and then never

just as we'll have told her if he had or

Of Australia had been dropped so sud

had married beneath him; if so, she
was very sorry, but he might have said
that he was married.
Curiously enough, it was over Mar
tina that she felt least able to forgive
him. Martha would say nothing, but
her unspoken denunciations of GAIA

her unspoken sympathy with Blanche.
Martha had been perfectly awful about

fectly right, from her idiotic point OF

Giant of Stars

Canopus, the giant of the stellar
system, is, according to a recent cal
culation of w. F. A. Ellison. $4,000
times as bright as the sun. 1t is 134
times as largo as the sun in diameter,
$4,000 times in surface and 2,420,000
times in volume. Its distance from
us, according to the same estimate, is
4s9 light years. Suppose, says Mr..
Ellison, that instead of being at this
enormous distance it were placed in
the center of the solar system, in lieu
of the sun. 1t would then occupy
eighty-five hundredths of the space ly-
ing within the orbit of Venus, and as
seen from the earth would subtend an
angle of about 70 degrees of arc. Thus,
when its lower limb was on our hori-
zon. it's upper would be within 20 de-
grees of the zenith Needless to say,
no life could exist on earth with such
a neighbor

BEAT THE BILL COLLECTORS
Physician Had Method of His Own,
and 1t Proved in the Highest
Degree Effective.

Several years ago. said New
clan in this city, dead now, whose
greater fame was as a chemist, but
he had fine medical practice. Like
a good many others who have money
to pay bills with, the doctor was eX-
tremely slow pay, and collectors had
hard times getting to him. Invariably
when one called, the man at the door
would ask if he wished to see the doc
tor professionally. and if the caller
said he did not he was assured the
doctor was not in.
Finally one of them went at it
, right and when the men at the door
asked if he wished to see the doctor
professionally he said he did, and was
politely passed into the waiting room.
A dozen more patients were ahead of
him, but he was inside at last and
on his way to the doctor, and he
waited patiently. When he reached
the doctor and said he had come with
bill there was great row at once,
and the doctor Indignantly berated
him. However, being honest enough,
he paid the bill.
THE collector didn't care, SO long
as he got the money, and straightway
told how he had done it. Then an
other one tried it and was successful,
but no more were. The third collec-
tor got in with bill for about SIS,
but he didn't get out with that amount.
The doctor charged him $40 for his
professional call and handed him over
the balance. One or two others were
treated the same way on their profess
sional visits and the word soon got
around among the collectors, with the
result that the professional calls were
abandoned. After which collections
we're made any way they could be
made except that way

Asia and Europe have clashed
throughout all history.
Here we find Persian pitted against
Greek, Roman against Pontian, By
zantine against Moslem, Crusader

self, and against the East.
Not only have Asia Minor and the
islands facing it's shores been the
stage upon which have been enacted
some of the most gigantic events in
human history, but this is at the pres

and picturesque regions in the world.
1t has been termed the quintessence
of the East. For nowhere else will
you find, thrown together in close as

Rhodes, whose history is one chap

Knights of st. John, once dominated

Minor.
Cicero and Caesar finished their
education at Rhodes, but Imperial

century at Jerusalem, after many
hardships, frightened again the an
