New Idea for Paris Salon.

A dispatch from Paris to the New
York Herald contains the statement
that when the next salon Is held possi-
bly, section will be devoted to mil
1inery and dressmaking. The idea, it
is said, is put forward by NJ. Delyille,
a Paris municipal councillor. He holds
that often there is as much artistic
fancy and skill in a woman's toilette
Or a new hat model as In picture or
piece of sculpture. He asks why one
of these characteristic products of
Partisan taste and imagination should
not have place in the salon, where
goldsmiths' work and other branches
of decorative art are always exhibited,
and attract as much attention as
paintings. The dressmaker and mil
liner will have come into their own
when for creations" In gowns and
hats they can claim medals such as
were awarded to Rosa Bonheur. What
ever the basis for the report which
the Herald prints, certainly it indi-
Gates a jaunty spirit of confidence
reigning, in spite of the war, in the
breasts of French costume makers.

get work done, but she does not give
thought to that until she receives
a note from nice young man, stating
that he would be pleased to call on
such and such an evening, and will
present himself punctually at her
home unless, in the interim, he has
word from her to cause him to change
his plans.
From that hour on such scurrying
as there is in that household. Young
men are keen-sighted, it would never
do to have dust ON the panels of the
doors, or on the picture frames.
There's the worn carpet to take up
and turn about, the seat of the old
sofa to jack up when it says, hole in
the curtain to darn, the chairs to
dust and the lamp wick to be trimmed
and put in shape to be lighted. Then
there's the only evening dress she
owns. The last time she wore it was
MT molasses candy pull. The front
breadth bore evidence to that in a
hong stain, to say nothing of huge
rent at the bottom of the skirt. She
had walked home in light rain, caus-
ing her white slippers to become mud
despatched. Mother was too busy to
even lend a hand. All the tasks rest
ed on the shoulders of the girl, who
was so unprepared. Her mother made
no attempt to conceal her hurry, re-
minding the girl that she had urged
v,<,v 70 n o% +1P11o
to keep the best room and her own
clothes in order, fearing just such a
contretemps. OF course it was gil
gantic undertaking. rushing through
a two weeks task in that many days,
even with poor old mothers aid and
pressing tired old father into the serv-
ice to battle with the taking up, turn
ing and relaying of the carpet, and
putting iron braces on the shaking
chairs. -,
The dress required remaking almost.
Between puckering and ripping out,
twisting and turning, sewing so far
into the night, she lost her beauty
sleep and her good nature into the
bargain. To be sure the young man
arrived promptly, but he was puzzled
beyond words as to what could pos
sibly have happened to change ca I'M
usually pretty girl into positive
fright in two days time. She was
too tired to make herself really inter-
estfng or companionable. Therefore
the young man cut his call as short as
x~ooe,sg.Ia No bod found that bonr 60
irksome, he shirked calling again.
The lesson on the trials of being I'M
prepared struck home to the girl, who
would have never learned it so COM
pletely under any other circumstances.
Every home should be in such apple
pie order That company could drop
in unexpectedly at any time without
creating discomfort, confusion, fuss or
furry.

There is little or no cessation Of the
terrible heat. Tho mouths of the la
borers and their wives are parched.
Mosquitoes and other insects add to
their torment. They cry out that
their thirst must be Quenched. Wa

that benumbs the brain and makes

is. 1t is forced upon the young girls

Amid such surroundings and infiu-
ences the summer nights are spent,

young girls of the tenements from UNI

SAVED BY HELMETS
MANY SOLDIERS OWE LIVES TO
STEEL HEADPIEcEs.
Bullets From Rifles and Machine
Guns, as Well as shrapneI, Glance /,
From the Protection, Doing
Wearer Little Harm.

Fame awaits the man who resurrect-
ed the steel helmets. He's saved thou
sands of lives.
The great Anglo French offensive
on the western front has served to
confirm all that has been limited about
the ugly inverted soup-bowl head
gear, writes London correspondent.
In almost every London hospital today
are men who wore them in the big
push-men who wouldn't be there IL
they hadn't.
1t is safe to say that thousands of
British lives have been saved by the
steel helmet during the last few
weeks. Consequently, thousands Of
slightly wounded men in London hos
pitfalls already are looking forward
to the day when they'll return to the
front.
An officer of the Royal Irish rifles,
formerly London journalist, is
thanking his helmet for the fact that
he is merely light casualty instead
of dead one. A bullet struck the
steel hat at the band in front, plowed
furrow along the slope and bent the
visor over one eye. A few badly
bruised facial muscles were the only
i'll effects.
An officer of the Royal Scots, by
virtue of his helmet and a strong
frontal bone, completely stopped an
enemy bullet just before his bat
TALON left the trenches he peered
over the parapet. A bullet struck the
inverted rim of the helmet and
thumped against the officers fore
head. 1t made a nasty bruise. A
fellow officer near by tested his he'll
met with shrapnel. A jagged piece
of steel richocheted off one side and
tore half the band off In the opera
ton. Otherwise it would have been
half his head.
An officer of the Lincoln regiment
in a big London hospital today swears
that he felt and heard machine bull
let's raining off his metal hat. One
came little low and clipped his
cheek bone, SO he had to come back
to London for repairs.
A lieutenant of an East Lancashire
battalion had his helmet literally shot
off his head.
1.-Two German pills must have hit
in the same place." he said, because
one came through and burrowed along
my scalp"
This officer, like hundreds of his COL
leagues of the steel-hatted army, will
be back in the war game within a
month-thanks to the Frenchman who
months ago studied pictures of an
cient warfare and was impressed with
the headgear of sixteenth century
warriors.
Steel hats press the head, are hot
and have to be fastened under the
chin with leather strap. But Brit
ishers just now-those who know
are thanking their many lucky stars
for having undergone the incon-
venience.

On the eve of his marriage to
sweet young girl, many man has
faced the problem whether or no he
was in duty-bound to lay bare to her
all the incidents of his past life, good,
bad or Indifferent, his boyish fancies,
the follies of youth and the tempta-
tions of manhood that enmeshed him.
To tell or not to tell-there was the
rub.
/ am dumfounded over the vast
number of letters from betrothed
young men asking frankly the ques-
ton: SHOULD a man who has been
a wild. deyil-may-care sort of fellow,
who has turned over new leaf when
about to wed, rake up his past to re-
veal it to his fiancee?"
answer quite as frankly: 1t all
depends upon the seriousness of the
didos which have been cut up. The
seriousness of an error depends en-
tirely upon its consequences. If a
man loved lightly an all too trusting
maiden, one or the other, through the
course of time growing weary of the
bond that in the beginning was SO al
Turing, the parting of the ways closed
the incident as far as the outside
world is concerned. (What his con-
science has to do with it is quite an
other story, which am not touch
ing on.)
It is useless to unfold to fair young
girl picture of the seamy side of life
of which she knows nothing. It would
not disturb the tranquility of her per-
feet trust, faith and love. If, on the
contrary more than the two hearts of
the man and maid are involved in the
ruthless breaking of his vows of con-
stancy, the story of that past assumes
an entirely different significance.
I am not entering upon a mans
moral right to take upon himself new
err and holieri bonds, the justice or in
justice of it. / am answering frankly
the query. SHOULD, or should he not
tell his fiancee in the latter case?"
stating that it Is clearly his duty to
| Inform the young woman about to wed
| him concerning a matter SO vital to
her future peace of mind, aye happi-
ness. It is about the cruelest thing
man can do to keep a fancee in the
dark concerning it. A man SHOULD
feel himself in duty bound to inform
her.
1t rests with her whether to risk
happiness with him or bid him return
to those who have prior claim to
whatever amount of heart and con-
science he possesses. The ghost of a
certain kind of follies will not down,
but rise to confront one when least
expected.
| OF ordinary, harmless secrets, such
| as the number of flirtations he may
have INDUCED in, harmless loves that
have fitted across his path-a man
may keep well mis- own counsel, tell
ing no tales. Tell a woman disa-
greeable secret and her happiness is at
an end.

CITY COUNCIL HOLDS
 ITS REGULAR MEETING

There was quite lively meeting of the council last night with all present, including the Mayor who called the aldermen to order at eight o'clock last night for the weekly jawfest.
 A communication from residents of B street asked for one or more lights at the north end. It was stat ed that the Power Go. was supplying lights over capacity of the plant now and they could not give any for that reason.
 The City attorney had not yet re- ceived the deed for the M'Lean lot; payment for removing the building was held up pending its receipt. Rose wanted the dog pound put in order so that strying canines could be seized and it was so ordered.
 Plans for heating the City Hall offices and the fire department were read. It reached $94 a month and Jack Douglas offered to supply all | material and install the system for $45O. Grant Laiblin bid $44S for | the same work.
 Orland's long outstanding bill fo1 the interment of Matt Jacobson was ordered paid. An ordinance amend, ing Ordinance 231, the taxation or. dinance, was read and passed under suspension of the rules.

The Mayor appointed the follow ing chairmen of election board and official inspectors for the different precincts: First E. E. Adams, End, Dr. Wesley, 3rd Robert James.
 A resolution, passed at this time appointing the jail to be located in the basement of the new building was later rescinded, and the matter left in the hands of Finance and Building to decide. It was reported that M'Connell of the Power Go. was willing to renew the pumping contract at the same price for an- other month and to store the pumps in their present position free of charge. It was so ordered.
 It was ordered that Finance and Building Committee take charge of the matter of paparing the upstairs rooms in the new fire building. The City Clerk as ex officio assessor wanted a survey made of the COT. porate limits as contained in a de. cree of Judge Moves. The matter was referred to the city attorney for some legal advice further on assess. able property. Pending this, no ac- tion on the survey was ordered.
 The meeting then adjourned.

CONFERENCE OF EDUCATORS
TO MEET AT DURHAM, N. C.
Atlanta Constitution Highly Approves
Of Meeting Called For Nov. 21.

The following editorial from the At
10. is significant Of three things-irst,
the constantly widening influence Of
the National Training school at Dur
ham. N. c.; second. the timely interest
which a large and increasing number
of the white people Of the south man
ifest in the educational work for col
ored people. their growing fricndliness
toward members Of our race who show
proper interest in racial affairs, and,
third. the genuine approval of the able
and constructive leadership of DR..
James e. Shepard, founder and presi-
dent Of the institution.
The Constitution says:
"a conference for Negro education
has been called by James e. Shepard.
president Of the National Training
School For Negroes at Durham. n. c..
to meet in that city Nov. 21-24 next.
to which all interested in the better
ment of Negro education are cordially
invited.
ut is noteworthy that this confer
ence proposes to deal with the subject
upon business basis-upon a basis
of results that will best equip the Ne
gro for substantial self support and
aid him most in self sustaining ca
reer.
"This is the kind Of work the lead
ing educational institutions for the Ne
gro, located in the south and fostered
and assisted by the white people in
this as well as in other sections. are
now doing.
'The National Training school at
Durham is one of these. as is also
Tuskegee institute. There are others
institutions that are teaching the Ne
gro a trade, an Industrial occupation
which not only makes him independ-
ent, but makes him capable Of render
ing a service which is in constant de-
ways earn livelihood.
"The Durham conference will deal
with live questions concerning the Ne
gro education. Moreover, II any one
has any particular ideas about the bet
terment of the Negro's condition upon
these lines this conference will furnish
him an opportunity to present 1t. The
work is one to which tho white people
of the south can well afford to lend
their encouragement and assistance.
Education that will make the Negro
better and a more capable citizen
and which, in the Industrial world and
where he has the ambition and ability.
will lift him above the plane OF the
ordinary laborer will not only help the
Negro race, but it will help conditions
'The opportunity is opening up for
him more and more every year as
result Of such conferences as that to
be held shortly at Durham. The day Is
not far distant when there Will be a
chance to take advantage of il 1t
means self respect, better employment
and better living conditions. 1t is
good work and should be encouraged"
