CoNTRABAND COTTON.

how an effective protest can be made
against CHASING cotton as contraband
IL IL is proved. as seems satisfactorily
established, that this commodity is
used by Germany in the manufacture
of war munitions.
The financial system Of the coun-
try, and the smaller crop of the pres
ent year. will do more to maintain the
price of cotton than the promised arti-
fetal measures of Great Britain. Our
problems must be met and solved b.
our own ingenuity Just as they have
always been met and solved.
A protest will doubtless be made 10
Great Britain on the strength OF that
nations protest against the chasing
Of cotton az contraband during the
Russo japanese war. There will
doubtless ensue long exchange OF
notes and perhaps an arbitration
court.

The Stylish Woman.

A stylish woman has q good poise
She stands well, and she walks well
and she carries her head well, and her
clothes take on the right swing. Put
the same clothes on the woman who
stands on her heels instead of on the
balls Of her feet, the woman who sinks
down in her corset and by so doing
throws her abdomen outward, her hips
forward, lets her chest sink in and her
shoulders round forward, while her
back hollows below the waist line
any amount of style In the costume
worn by this woman is swallowed up
by the lack Of style in the woman her
self.
The lines OF a woman's gown or
cloak are altered to their ruin when
by incorrect carriage Of her body they
are turned and twisted out Of place.
The woman who Is admired for her
style In dressing looks-no matter what
the time or the occasion-as IL what
she wears at that time, upon that oc-
casion, had been planned with refer
ence to that time, that place and to
her.-Good Health.

Belts In Eaunr

Belts are in high favor again, which
Is probably due to the fact that most
Of the frocks and skirts have the trim
normal waist line.
The leather belts are more varied and
beautiful than ever before.
They range in width from two to six
inches and in many cases are much
wider.
Patent leather is much in favor for
the new belts, and 1t Is shown in vari-
GUS colorings combined with black or
white. One beautiful wide belt of soft
crushable white kid had a shaped in
set piece Of blue patent leather at each
side. There was long narrow buckle
Of white kid.
Another wide belt Of white kid had
a large buckle Of white kid and red
patent leather trimmings. Another wide
belt Of white kid had trimmings of

Tips on House Plants,

Palms are much used for interior
decorations where there is no direct
sunlight. Regular watering is essen
tal, with especial care not to over
water. 1t is better with most palms to
keep them a little dry than too wet
While small, wash the foliage occasion
ally with soap suds made from a good
soap. Immediately follow with a
thorough rinsing. When too large for
this, spray the tops frequently with
clear water.
Browning at the tips usually comes
from overwatering at the roots. Trim
Off the brown tips, as they will never
recover. If the leaves turn yellow look
Tor scale on the underside and be sure
you are not overwatering. Wash the
scale Off or spray with kerosene emul-
sion or whale oil soap or some nicotine
preparation. Do not repeat too often.
Ii palm grows three new leaves

often enough to keep the soil moist,
but do not under any circumstances
permit water to stand about the roots
nor allow it to become bone dry. A
potted plant set in a jardiniere needs
especial care not to overwater. Wash
the foliage frequently with soapsuds
and rinse at once. Repot occasionally,

Queen Eleonore was head of one of
the most efficient Red Cross units in
the Russo-Japanese war, as well as of
the Bulgarian Red Cross in the Balkan
wars.
Her work in the field hospitals
brought her in conflict with one of
King Ferdinand's peculiarities His
fear Of infection amounts to an obses-
sion, and when the queen was engaged
jim nursing and after she had returned
from the hospitals she was by the
kings order placed In what amounted
to quarantine, so far as the royal fam
fly was concerned.
King Ferdinand is very fond of pomp
and ceremony, but Queen Eleonore is
reported to have the air Of disliking
display and to prefer a simplicity not
ito the liking Of her lord.
! But her labors have been appreciated
by her adopted countrymen.
A princess Of Reuss, she came to the
throne Of Bulgaria in 1908, then forty
eight years old, and has since mother
ed King Ferdinand's four children
while carrying on her efficient charity
works. Now that Bulgaria goes to
war she will be the head of the Bull
garian Red Cross.
In an interview granted recently
Queen Eleonore stated:
RED Cross supplies are almost i'm
possible to get in Bulgaria. In the
case Of need we shall be very short
OF such supplies, and it is necessary
for me to do all 1 can now to increase
the stock. used every influence I could
to obtain supplies from Austria-our
usual source-but except for a few
small packages bought as If for my
personal use l have been able to get
nothing"

New York society folks recently held
a circus on Long Island, New York, to
raise funds for charity. Piping Rock,
where the entertainment was held, Is
a most exclusive place. and only the
most select are welcome. The circus
was a pronounced success, and large
sum of money was raised. Among the
many interesting exhibits was a group
of young girls who posed as cowboys
and performed in a most daring and
skillful manner the feats of horseman-
ship commonly attributed to the cow
punchers Of the plains. They rode their
ponies in races. jumped hurdles and
threw the lasso in real cowboy fashion.
The young girl here pictured is Miss
Helen Leeming, daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Woodruff Leeming Of New York
city. She is standing on the back OF
her pony, the stirrup straps crossed
over the back of her horse. She was
saluting the grand stand occupants
when the camera man snapped her.
