Napoleon Hat.

Napoleon sports hats are the latest
and most dashing. The brim, very
wide and very flexible, is slashed
from edge to crown at the center
front, bound with black grosgrain rib
bon and laced up with narrow black
velvet; finally the slashed brim is
turned directly up against the crown
and fastened there with a small,
smart black velvet bow. Worn with
a black and white checked sports coat,
all big pockets and big white pearl
buttons, black Napoleon hat of the
sort described is indisputably chic and
distinguished. OF course, white gloves
and white washable kid boots will ac-
company the dashing hat and coat.

no wife may ever expect to keep tabs
on him.
''Of course all of these good husbands
mean well. They make up excuses
when the truth-they forget the DIM

them best in the end. 1t is strange,
but true, that the husband who COM

or more hens of delicate coral pink
or blue, are worn with windsor tie

worn with fina lingerie waists. Wing

very high.
Cromwell collars Of organdie, daint-
lily embroidered, are sometimes laid
over plain piece of organdie or heavy

BIuffed the New Conductor.

He stood at the corner waiting for
a car. Several cars had stopped to let
him get ON but he made no move to
get aboard.
Finally one stopped and man got
off.
did you pay your fare to the end Of
the line" inquired the waiting man.
"Yes," said the man who got off.
"Can have your seatY he asked.
"Sure, it's the last one on the right
hand side, cross seat"
The man clambered aboard and hur-
ried to the seat just left vacant.
, Fare please" said the conductor
shortly afterwards.
"Fare nothing" responded the man.
81 Just took the other fellows place
who got off and he said he paid to
the end OF the line and said that I
could have his seat"
The response evidently was stun
ner for the new conductor and he was
so surprised he passed up the fare.

schools, churches and the young peo-
pies societies of the various churches!
Do they not afford places in which
one might get acquainted with pros
pective husband or wife? Excitement
and pleasure may be found here also,
but not the intoxicated kind that
warps ordinary cool judgment.
The happiest marriages come about
by young people meeting under the
aforementioned auspices, but the
trouble seems to lie with the vast army
of young men and women who are not
churchgOers, and therefore miss that
valuable medium of becoming ac-
quainted.
The dance has its uses in keeping
young hearts light; is means or
healthful exercise, contributes pleas
antly to the sense of sight-bright
lights, dainty costumes and music
which sets the feet twirling-and be-
ing brought in contact with friends.
1t also has its grave abuSes-friend-
ships formed between girls and men
who have not been made acquainted
through the proper form of introduce
ton by mutual friends, and whe may
be as united for each others society
as the lamb and the wolf 1t may
give rise to dangers from unwise court
ships.
Looking at the situation from many
viewpoints, the need will be seen of a
nationwide plan Of bringing marriage
able, moral young people together. If
the influential church women of each
neighborhood would put their Shout
ders to the wheel, the good results
would be surprising. There are many
young men-and good ones at that
who might fight shy of being lured into
church affairs, no matter what the
scheme at issue might be. Such young
men could be induced to go to hall
where an appetiZing free lunch served
by large number of young, prepos-
seSSing women was the attraction.

of the worthiness of the young man

of good samaritan in introducing the
young folks, keeping a watchful eye
afterward to note how the acquaint-
ance progressed. A social hour fol-
lowing the luncheOn-which included
a little music, song or two or a
witty dialogue-would suffice to please
and whet the impulse to come again
and again. Young folks will make the
acquaintance of each other in one way
or another. Therefore it is best to
supervise their first meetings. Trolley
parties one evening week would
bring gratifying results.
There are many more respectable,
honest, earnest young men looking for
good wives than there are girls anx-
ious to wed All that they require is
to be made acquainted. with the right
kind of girl.
Places where pastime parties could
be held under proper supervision
should be an institution in every
neighborhood. Many a poor girl weds
a neer-do-well because she has no
hope of being brought into social con-
tact with a better man.

To Beautify Finger Tips.

If your finger tips are pudgy, don't
blame it on nature, for it is only the
result of cutting the nails away too far
at the corners. The nails on the fin
gers serve as a brace and support for
the flesh. A great many cut their
nails away in at each corner and run
them out to a point, believing that it
assists greatly in giving tapering eff
feet to the fingers.
1t does not, however, have this eff
feet. Quite the contrary, it takes away
the support from the flesh, whereupon
the flesh proceeds to spread out wider
and wider the more the nail is trim
med away, until it is almost impossible
to get it back in shape again.
In trimming your nails, let the sides
of the nail alone and shape only the
top. Never use the scissors if you can
helE it. and if you do, be sure to give
the nails final finish with the file.
Remember that vaseline will not only
keep the nails from becoming brittle,
but will also improve the texture and
help to make them shapely.

Roughly speaking, three varieties Of
peanut are grown in this country-red
white and Spanish. The white, the
most imports Mt variety, has nut with
two kernels with pink skins; its vine
spreads along the ground in this re-
Spect unlike that of the red variety,
which grows more upright and in a
bunch. The pod of the red nut holds
three and sometimes four kernels, and
has deep red skin. The Spanish is a
much smaller nut, with a lighter skin
and milder flavor than either of the
others possesses. The entire crop is
shelled and used especially in the con-
lection known as nougst.

novelty. The glasses are long, with

The soldiers who tread to it
Here comes the flag!
"Breathes there maid with soul so
dead who never to herself hath said,
This is my own, my native land?"
There are no girls in any land more
patriotic than are Americas daughters.
The sweethearts of soldiers head the
list. When an army man and the girl
who is to make his dreams reality
plight their troth, he is sure to impress
upon her the nature of his calling
that first and foremost he belongs to
his country and must ever hold himself
in readiness for a call to arms, going
wherever duty points. If there is a
battle, he must meet the foe as valiant
ly as the comrades who march side by
side with him.
She accepts him under these condi-
tons. In the present national affair
with Mexico, to which so many brave
boys are summoned, the thought of
leaving the maiden beloved to watch,
wait and weep is the one shadow across
the soldiers readiness to engage in
action. No one man knows under what
conditions he may return or if he will
come back, for in the thick of battle
there are no favorites of fortune sin
gled out to be brought forth I'M
Scathed
Dearly as they may love, there are
many soldier boys who will offer their
sweethearts their freedom If they fear
TO take the chances as to what might
duty. Girls who love lightly will rend
loves ties asunder then and there.
Those who love with all the strength
of a noble heart will refuse to break
the bond, and to make their lover
doubly sure Of them, will suggest that
the date set for their wedding which
had been planned to take place months
hence shall be changed-that the kiss
he will take with him shall be wife's
instead of a sweetheart's.
What greater proof could soldier
have of woman's Interchangeable love
This accounts forNthe epidemic of army
mems weddings. No wonder they can
respond to the bugle's clarion call with
light heart and bright eyes They are
sure, past all doubling, of the loving
woman waiting with outstretched arms
to greet them when they come march
ing home again.
There is nothing equal to a wife's
love to keep a soldiers courage buoyed
up. There is charm in it which seems
to shield him from shot and shell in a
miraculous way. 1t makes him more
enduring midst the hardships he en-
counters, gives him strength to do or
die He has someone at home nearer
and dearer yet than all others to think
of and pray for in the dead watches of
the night when sleep refuses to come
to him. Her influence is far-reaching.
| The love of wife at home can in the
hour of danger make hero out of the
| most listleSs soldier. There could be
no greater spur to his ambition or so
firmly plant it in his heart if he lacks
| it.
To all soldiers sweethearts l would
say: If your betrothed pleads to have
your marriage take place at once, in
stead of waiting until he returns, think
long and earnestly over what it means
to him ere you make up your mind to
say him nay. No woman should ever
regret wedding her hearts hero.

Economy in Summer Wear.

There are two things to do to ar
ticles soiled or faded by the ravages
of summer-dust, bleaching sun, per-
spiration and salt water. One, clean
them; two, color them. Of course, If
the color is actually faded out cleaning
will hardly do any good. Often, how
ever, things that are apparently faded
are only badly soiled, and thorough
cleaning is all that they need.
The market is full Of cleaners and
colorers of various Sorts So, if you
have soiled white straw hat, first try
cleaning it with some bottled or boxed
preparation and then, if it remains
soiled looking, try coloring it with
some other preparation.
So, too, if a white frock or blouse
seems yellowish or grayish, boil it first
in water to which little washing soda
is added. If it bleaches nicely, well
and good. If not get some dye and
dye it to some pretty shade of pink or
blue.
Rag rugs that have been washed so
many times that they are losing their
color can be satisfactorily dyed. The
colorsin them will modify the color of
the dye, to some extent, so count on
that when you are choosing the color
to dye them.
There are many satisfactory hat
dyes with which straw hats can be
colored easily in almost any shade.
Follow the explicit directions. always
given with these commercial coloring
liquids to get the best results.
For faded pink lingerie, remember,
there are bottles of pink liquid to re-
store it's original hue. A few drops of
red ink to a bowl of water, too, will
brighten pink lingerie, and so will lit,
tie red dye well diluted with water.

Where Wisdom Lies.

l say wisdom is gathered on foot,
along country roads. Collect your ideas
where you can: from alley, boulevard,
office, lecture hall, theater, dinner ta-
bic, library, wharf, picture gallery,

shaped by these, they will look vastly
less momentous or vastly more so.-

SIDE rather than outside is one of the

Inc work may be done by hand and at

and the decoration may consist of
