EVERYBODY"

"Nobody's home in Washington II
July and August. F and G streets
are positively deserted till after La
Dor Day"
That is what some one told US ths
other day and yet when we went te
buy a cooling drink there were sc
many people ahead of US that it took
ten minutes to be served.
Every one is wearing the new
short skirts" some one says, and yet
when you look out of the window not
one woman in FIVE who passes is so
garbed
To be sure our friend in society
who has just go back from Newport
has skirts that are abbreviated, and
the pretty little girl at the telephone
switchboard does and so does the girl
who takes your coat at the hotel
where you go for luncheon. But
grandmother doesn't and mother
doesn't and it is ten to one that you
don't either.
Who is everybody"
A German organization in New
Jersey has sent out strong appeals to
the German voters of that State urg-
ing them to oppose woman suffrage
when the question comes up at spe-
cial election there on October Io. =
Our suffrage friends needn't be dis
heartened. There are others in the
same boat; for this German organiza-
ton urges the voters to oppose all
prohibition measures as well. To
maintain his ideal of home and hap
piness, apparently, the New Jersey
German must not only have his stay
at-home hausfrau, free from outside
distractions, but he must also have
his lager.
Have you heard about the latest
pet for fashionable womankind.
No, not the monkey. They have
been in for at least six months and
already on the wane.
Nor yet the sleek-skinned jaguar.
It's the pigeon of rainbow plumage.
Of course you never knew before that
there were such pigeons, for these are
colored not by nature but by the
skilled Workmanship of the French
dyer. A LOT of these feathered pets
have just been brought to New York
and it is said that women of fashion
will wear them on their wrists as the
proud queen of centuries ago wore
her falcon when she went a-hunting.

Would you like to have your child
carry that feeling about you in her
heart through life. and even after you
are in your grave?
The incident made an inenacea BILE
impression on sne, visitor though I
was; 1t illustrates SO clearly the
strength OF the instinct of personal
possession that am telling you about
1t today. though somehow have AZ
ways shrunk from talking about it,
as one hates to discuss certain OBJ
jectionable physical facts.
II we want to get the best out of
our children-make them feel that we
are trying to do the best we can for
them-then we must take heed that we
do not violate their instinct for own
ership.

Tea Table Talks
BY May De Witt Talmagc
TEMPERED ALTRUISM.

1t is commonly said that the
greatest happiness in life comes
from doing for others This may be
true in most cases, certainly we find
no happiness in leading a purely
selfish life, but we Philistines who
have strong Municipalities. intense
desires, and tastes. do not always
get that after-glow we read so much
about that comes from doing our
duty.
There is a certain satisfaction in
the fact that we have done the right
thing but it is not always easy to
give up all that we most enjoy in
life; make sacrifices for others. en-
tirely wipe out the ego.
Later in life we may look back
and think. Il needed that discipline
in my life, it was all good for me-"
but if the present is not all unal-
loyed bliss let us remember there are
some things in life that we must
look at az we would at an impress
sionist picture: we cannot stand too
close to it if we are to get any idea
Of meaning from the bold dashes Of
bright colored paint. SO in life the
further We get away from some
things the better we can see their
good points and beauty.
The decision to do our duty which
runs contrary 10 cur desires may in
spire some. but to ordinary mortals
one of the hardest things in life is
70 deny oneself TO oneself.
\ Case of AutO-SuggestiOn.
A woman sometimes through un-
happiness, loneliness. a weakened
physical condition, or wanting love
contracts a had case of auto-sug-
gestion. She picks out some con-
genial man. and with that founda-
ton builds a castle in the air. She
imbues him with all the attributes
she wants him TO have. She puts
aside reason. loses the art Of bal
ancing the pros and cons: her ra-
tional nature. She clings 10 any
straw that blows her encourage
ment or hope. She brings all the
forces of will power and telepathy to
her aid. She hypnotises herself in
20 thinkink that when she is wish
ing for him he is longing and wish
ing for her. She lets her magma
ton and dreams have full sway. She
sees love in his eyes in his silence
hears it in his voice. She is quite
mad about him. They talk about
'L'age dangereuX." it comes i'm many
women's lives. These cases OF auto
suggestion are often diagnosed as
love. The result is generally shat
tered nerves. disillusion, reality-one
unhappy woman.

ShopkeeperS Aid
Gift Seekers With
en1pting Displays

The question of just what to choose
for a Christmas gift is the thought
uppermost in the minds of nearly
everyone today. though il is not so
much a real problem as formerly
for the shOpkeepers seem to start
early in the season fairly to make
our selections for US.
Have you thought what a world Of
cheer a small Christmas card would
bring to a friend Of yours, a patient
in the hospital, or those who are
unable TO join in the festivities of
the Yuletide? It's easy TO make a
list and you'll find it can be readily
filled. One art dealer has a whole
window full of suitable cards and
there is no end TO the variety, while
the prices range from a few cents
up.
To the holiday shopper who is
thinking Of something for a near
friend or relative those cunning Pris-
ella sewing cabinets should be an
attraction. There are several styles.
One made of solid mahogany and
handy 10 carry about TO any part of
lHt MUSE may DC purchased TOT
S7.S5. This merchant is also making
IA special offering Of mahogany tea
carts at $3.50.
A pretty and yet serviceable gift
for young girl would be a travel
ing set Of French ivory in a genuine
leather folding case, satin lined.
containing 10 pieces OF toilet arti-
cles. specially priced at s3.49 Sew
eral others are marked at $49S and
$500.
Two lovely colonial candlesticks
may be secured for $2.25. They
have a dull antique finish and have
a brass receptacle in the top. They
are about seven inches high.
Some envelope purses of morocco.
pure sea land calfskin are very good
bargains at S1.OO up to $500. They
contain the usual small purse and
mirror and have silk Innings There
is seldom a time a new purse is not
a welcome present. and those mark
ed from $1.0O up to $40 in morocco
and Russian calf are exceptional
values.

Roofing Rose Cuttings.

In roofing rose cuttings the metho,
used will depend on the kind of roses t,
be grown. The Tea roses are naturally
evergreen and tender in winter, Will,
the Romontants and the Ramblers anc
other hardy annual roses, that is annua
boomers and not perpetual bloomer,
like the Tea and some others. ripen
their wood in the fall and lose then
leaves.
To root the Tea roses make cuttings
with three buds. Cut Immediately un-
der the lower bud and half an, inch
above the upper one, and leave the en-
tire leaf on the upper bud. The kind
of wood to use is that which has Just
developed a good bud. Reject the soft
est tip aud make the cuttings of the
shoot below which is neither hard nor
very soft. The best time to make the
cuttings is in August and September.
Prepare boxes three inches deep filled
with clean sand. Insert the cuttings in
these in rows, with the leaves all turned
one way. Put the boxes under shaded
glass IN frame or under shade of
cheese cloth, and keep the sand soaking
wet at all times. AS soon as the cut
tings have shown small white roots, pot
them firmly in pots of the two and one.
half-inch size and pack them closely in
a frame under glass or cloth and attend
to watering regularly. They will have
filled the little pots with roots by cold
weather, and it is best to plunge them
in coal ashes in frame for the winter
and set them out in the spring.
Any cutting that loses its leaf is not
worth potting, even if it roots for it will
never make good plant.
The hardy roses like the Remontants
and Ramblers can be treated very diff
ferently. Let these completely ripen
their wood and lose their leaves. Then
in November make cuttings eight or
ten inches long with bud at the base.
Set these full length in the soil in rows,
so that the top bud will be just about at
the surface of the soil. Mulch between
the rows with thick cover of pine straw
for the winter and in the spring most of
them will root and grow and can be
lifted and planted in the fall where
wanted. have also taken these cut
tings in November and tied them in bum
dies and buried them in the soil till
spring and then set them in rows and
they did very we'll.
Young plants of the tender Tea roses
got in the fall will be better kept in pots
under glass or cloth for winter and
plunged to the rim of the pot in coal
ashes to keep them from roofing out
Of the pot. Then plant them in the
spring. The hardy annual boomers can
be planted at once. Prairie Farmer.
