After Several Years of So
cial Disfavor, the Plume
Industry Is to Flourish
Once More-fhe More
Advanced Milliners Have
Said So.
As a Propitiatory Measure,
Designed to Soothe the
Wounded Feelings of the
Bird, the Feathers Are to
Remain Quite Uncurled.

4 = For three lean years he
has sprouted his plumes in vain.
No one thought enough Of them
to even give a friendly yank.
He was considered useless
member Of society, in fact.
Now he may withdraw his
head from the sand pile where
he buried his bitterness. Once
more he Is to become the darling
Of fashion.
The principal heirloom in
many family used to be black
silk dress and one plume, either
white or black. During these
three lonesome years the plume
has lost It's prestige in the pro-
bate court. Now 1t is to be re-
stored to full favor.
Plumes Again In Style.
To be brief, the ostrich plume
is in style once more, not the
paradoxical willow plume,
heaven be praised, but the va
riety more nearly approximate
ing the home grown product.
In order that the effect may
be more strictly au naturel, the
fues are not even curled. At
least, that is the cheering news
that some Of the more advanced
milliners have whispered.
OF course, it is much simpler
to uncurl an ostrich plume than
to curl it. Perhaps the most eff
fective way is to wait for a
rainy day and wave 1t to and fro

Sayings OF. Mrs. Solomon

When a damsel's smiles are sweeter

When she patteth thy coat-lapel, and
calleth thee Nice boy!"-
When she saith, Let US always be
FRIENDS! For unto me- one good friend

Who beats II with an iron club.

I would have nothing Interfere
To check the lush grass In It's growth
And that explains my purple oath
To find my nasty golf-ball there

That makes the oceans level strand.
II brings me memories Of the Joy

For san1y bunkers anywhere,
But an! TO me tits Joy TO see
The sand In all Its purity.

Or seaweed In the sand, but-well,
To find my silly Rolf-ball there

love the little puriing brook.
That winds through many a ferny nook
And srarkles over sands of gold
As Tennysor SO sweetly told.
But some who can't brook abide
Declare 1t far too deep or wide.
But ali! II In so dear to me
do not ever care 10 sec
Among its ripples things that seem
Far from becoming In n stream
To find my golf-ball floating there
Just makes me snort and dance and

Mosquito Is
Only danger
In Night
BY DIR. L. X. HIRSHBERG.

YOU'VE often heard maiden aunts

"ladies-in-waitlng''-call TO their
nieces. who are dressing for a
dance: Mary and Frances. you must
bundle up. Don't wear your low-neck
dresses in this dangerous night air; and
see that you wear your high shoes. Do
you want to catch your deaths OF cold?"
As matter of fact. all air at night is,
of course. night air. II It is dangerous.
you have to face IL and breathe It
through half your lives. But this be-
lief in the danger Of night air ia only
another Of the many superstitions
handed down from olden times The
air at night is purer than by day. for
II contains less dirt and dust and-in
the cities-smailer amount OF the car
bonic acid gas which fires and furnaces
contribute to the air so largely by day.
The fact is, that in many parts of the
world-those parts from which we get
our civilization and many OF our SUPER
stition-it is, in truth. very dangerous
indeed to go out in the night air. Peo-
pie who thus expose themselves are apt
TO suffer from a very serious illness call
ed malaria-a word which really means
bad air. Therefore. in olden times. nat
urally enough, II was thought that the
night and the darkness changed the air
In some way so as to make II poisonous.
Gus.
But now we know that malaria Is due
to germ which IL pushed into your
bodies by a certain kind OF mosquito
when II bites. II the mosquito with her
germ-for II Is the she gnat that bites
does not bite you. then you do not get
malaria. The mosquitoes habit Is to feed
this means to bite--at night only. and
so II II the malarial mosquito that Is

Tho scene was LAID in Prussia. the time

near the present day..
Tho youths name was Adoiphue, the
naiden's was Hortense.
He rashly vowed he loved her In the
very highest sense.
She was the village belle. OF course,
and he the village beau;
Some broken hearts developed when she
ordered her trousseau.
The wedding day at last was set. F'es-
tivities waxed gay.
Then came a troop OF soldiery from
Russia cross ire way.
Their captain was a dashing blade. 80
fierce, so proudly grand.
And he could conquer female hearts
with one audacious hand.
Hortense became affected, while the
captain. from the start.
Admitted that she was the maid who
won his tickle heart.
One night they fied together, with the
wedding clothes. OF course,
they nearly killed their horse.
And no one ever heard a word about
Hortense's fate,
Though young Adolphus mourned her
loss with vigor hard to state.
Through four long months he moped
about in chronic fits OF blues.
At last his skin began to turn. 1t even
reached his shoes.
His fair, once frankly sandy. now be-
came a navy shade,
His face looked like a chrome with nc
prospect OF fade,
Then the town wiseacres murmured:
Hum! We see a Prussian blue"
And that legend and that color last
these many years through.

the Methodist. General Conference at

frage A conference which has
women among its delegates, repre-
senting a church in which women
vote for church officers, could not
logically take any other ground.
The fact that only six votes were

how rapidly this movement is ex-

When Frances e. Willard commit

accomplished a revolution. Many OF
the members OF her organization had

bership In the South. where the op-
position to suffrage was and still Is
strong. Since that day the accre-
tions to the suffrage cause have been
the normal result of the more active
life of women and of the great in
crease of women in industry, where
they compete with men on even
