ETZHAT might be called the last word
 in glove fashions has been spoken by one aof Fifth avenues exclusive shops. and the fashion world is now trying to solve the problem as to just what constitutes iextravagance in buy ing gloves.
 Is s1oo, pair too much to pay?
 Of course there are cheaper ones that would have been considered very smart In former days. but now after peep at the expensive novelties can we be happy with the others?
 To most of us who will have to eczdmp along contentedly with gloves that range from 59 cents to $15 a pair, however. description of the unique, newcomers may be of a little comfort.
 In the first place the new gloves are of white glace kid in forty-two button length, quite the longest on record, and from shoulder to wrist one pair is em- sbroidered by hand in the natural col ored peacock's feathers, with the stems running upward toward the shoulder. Another pair is embroidered with chrysanthemumsi in yellow, white, old rose blossoms and bronzy green leaves. These are the only two patterns shown, but any desired design may be ordered though it takes some time to do the embroidery.
 { They button with pearl buttons at the wrist and wrinkle very. softly all the way to the shoulder, but no ,spe- cda1 cases come to put them 1u. Even the woman with the perfectly modelled arm, if she is fortunate enough to have a pair. need feel no sorrow at conceal ing their beauty under such aseostly covering.
 : or course there are other enbroid- cred gloves which are shorter in length and less elaborate in ernbroid- cry. the latter being, done by machin- cry. These may be had for $6 and $7 a pair, but they are nothing like those done by hand. Then there are those which are spangled in rhinestones or follow a. floral pattern or have simply

 There are boas, too. of other sorts besides the ubiquitous and cunning fox.

It is interesting to note that with so- ciety the red fox is more popular than than white Two years ago smart Pa risiennes set the pace for the fashion able world by appearing at Long champs and later in the Bois and the Champs Elysee with these fascinating furs flung jauntily about their shoul- ders.

FARMER RADF0RD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The home Is the greatest contribu-
hcarthstone is her throne. Duh So
cial structure Is built around her, and
social righteousness is in her charge.
Her beautiful life lights the skies Of
hope and her refinement Is the charm
Of twentieth century civilization. Her
races and her power are the cumu-
lative products of generations of
uueenly conquest, and her crow OF
-xalted womanhood is jeweled with
The wisdom of sanity mothers. She
has been a great factor In the glory
Of our country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be married or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties of citizenship. Ameri-
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens of defending and
maintaining government, but should
reserve her unsullied from the allied
influences Of politics. and protect her
from the weiehty resp nsibilities of
the sordid affairs of life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood of the farm
is our inspiration, she is the guardian
of our domestic welfare and a guide
to g higher life, but directing the af-
fairs of government is not within wo-
mans sphere, and political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home.

SINS BEYOND ALL PARDON
cowar dice and Treason Never Con-
dored by Women-FeeIlns That
Ia Deeply Rooted.

Woman will forgive almost anything
in man except cowardice or treason.
There she draws the line. Not only
is tho feeling distinctive, but 1t comes
to her through long years Of human
evolution. In the earliest ages her
faith, as we'll as her safety, was In
the man who stood face to face with
the enemy and fought for her. 1t Is
not a difference in heroism that makes
men soldiers. Nature has arranged
that 'tery nicely and wo. pen know and
understand. They know, too, that the
same nature imposes upon them perils
and burdens that exceed those OF the
battle field, and good men understand
that the best they can show in per-
sonal courage and fortitude ~ only a
poor second to the fearless.9ess OF
wonlslnhood.
Thus patriotism blossoms and
blooms in woman's soul as naturally
as the old-fashioned rose grow.s In
the old family garden. Its roots are
dotxn deep; it's vitality is ever eqtsal
and its fragrance is the sweetest thing
In life. With full hearts but tranquil
souls women can send forth their
SONS, their husbands, their sweet
hearts, their protectors to danger or
to death-to anything save hating or
dishonor. A great American admiral
put it neatly when he said victory was

Extraordinary Skid.


One Of the most remarkable es-
capes from Sudden death which re-
lieves the grim record of fatal acci-
dents in automobile racing, occurred
at Brooklands, the famous English
speed course. recently. When ap-
preaching a turn at an estimated
speed of 119 miles an hour, a tire
exploded and the car skidded side
wise. For 80 yards the car tore up
the track broadside on, and then in
quick succession turned two backward
loops. By this time the banking OF
the track at the curve was before the
occupants Of the car. and up this slope
the car ran backward to the very
edge. The driver, who had declutched
when the car started skidding, sudden
1y accelerated the engine, the clutch
going in with a bang. Strips from the
burst tire had become entangled in
the chain, locking the right-hand
wheel. The sudden a~cceleration tore.
these strips away, and down the en-
bankment the car plunged, turning n
other loop, this time head-on, and
dashed off the track, bringing up safe
ly in a plowed ground near by.

and manliness.

hoarse and restrained. and he held her
at arms length. She deemed that his
expression conveyed a charge of I'M

RURAL SOCIAL cENTERs

We need social centers where u
young people can be entertained.
amused and instructed under the d.
rection of cultured, clean and COM
petent leadership, where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at
mosphere with inspiration and power.
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold u young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as well as the business of
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character, so that the lives Of
our people can properly function
around it and become supplied with
the necessary elements Of human
thought and activity.

one letter. It was to his friend Amory.
telling him that he counted on a better
working chance out West, and had
started on his journey thus abruptly
to spare the pain OF parting with his
good, kind friends.
Then for three years those friends
heard nothing of Bertram nor he OF
them. He went away from civiliza-
ton. With a body of sturdy prospec-
tors he braved the h%ardships of two
trying Alaska winters. One day Ber-
tram turned up at the home Of his
sister, a tired-out man, bronzed, rough
ened, but breaking down with a fever.
There were weeks Of lonely illness,
then a ~protracted convalescence. He
was seated in his invalid chair one
sunny afternoon when he called his
sister to his side.
IT am getting nearly well enough to
move on again, Bertha" he said. Il

row. / did quite we'll out West and
brought a tidy little fortune home with
me. l want to settle 1t on you, for !

That was his determination. The
old ~tugging had come at his heart
when he realized that he was COM
p~aratively nea to Evelyn. When des-
perately Ill he had thought Of sending
for her, but had procrastinated the or
deal. Now, however, he said;
And mail this letter. Bertha" and 1t
was directed to Evelyn.
He had asked her to come and SEQ
him and bring her husband with her.

wrote. 81 want to make Amory a little

The lights were low at eventide two
days later when the invalid heard q
rustic at the front doorway and a voice
that thrilled him in W with his
sister. 1t was Evelyn.

came into the room. "Oh, why did you
not send for me before during all your
lonely illness?"
This moment c~ompensates for all"
murmured Bertram ~unsteadily.

Evelyn, you will not send me away,
will you?"
But yonr husband, Amory?"
did you not hear? He died a year
ago." explained Evelyn IN a subdued
tone. "Bertram, l was his rue wife.
and I told him all. He died blessing
me as his faithful, devoted companion
and you as the truest friend heaven
ever gave to man."
One hand rested caressingly across
the fevered brow. The other held his
hand and the contact thrilled him.

THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The farmer gets more out of the
fair than anyone else. The fair to a
city man is an entertainment; to a
farmer it is education. Let US take a
stroll through the fair grounds and
finger a moment at a few of the points
of greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department and
hold communion with the worlds
greatest thinkers.
You are now attending a congress of
the mental giants in mechanical sci
ence of all ages. They are addressing
you in tongues Of iron and steel and
in language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story of the worlds progress
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands we have and
they perform an enduring service to
mankind. We can all help others for
a brief period while we live. but it
takes a master mind to tower into the
realm of science and light a torch Of
progress that will illuminate the path
way Of civilization for future genera
tons. The men who gave US the
sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and
hundreds of other valuable inventions
work in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as time
Their bright intellects have conquered
death and they will live and serve
mankind on and on forever, without
money and without price. They have
shown US how grand and noble it is
to work for others; they have also
taught us lessons in economy and eff
cheney. how 10 make one hour do the
work of two or more; have length
ened our lives. multiplied u
opportunities and taken toll of the
back of humanity.
They are the most practical men
the world ever produced. Their in
ventions have stood the acid test of
utility and efficiency. Like all useful
men, they do not seek publicity, yet
millions of machines sing their praises
from every harvest field on earth and
as many plows turn the soil In mute
applause of their marvellous achieve
ments.
