Although it made it's bow somewhat
earlier in the season, this gown was
In the vanguard of fashions and its
strong points are emphasized now,
since they are all approved styles. The
skirt shows a commendable method of
managing the flare by means of panel
at the front, an inverted V-shaped yoke
at each side, supporting full side
pieces, and two panels that meet at
the center of the back. Each of these
panels is formed by deep inverted
plaits, so that the skirt sets trinity
about the hips. 1t Is finished at the
bottom with a heavy silk-covered cord.
The rather plain bodice is cut with
a dropshoulder, and the arm's-eye is
finished with a narrow hem. The long,
tapering sleeve Is set in under this
hem in the same manner as the side
pieces in the skirt are set in the yoke.
The bodice blouses at the front and
is joined to the skirt under a plain
taffeta girdle.

PAYING SALARIES TO WIVES
Discussion Started in Periodical De-
voted to Women-Husband Is the
Real Provider.

About the most foolish proposition
that has been advanced for some time
Is the discussion now going on con-
corning the payment of salaries to
wives The discussion started some
time ago in a periodical devoted to
women, and it has been raging" ever
since, with now and then some good
soul advocating that the wife be paid
regular wages, and the household ex-
penses be apportioned properly-and a
lot more Of the same line.
The ideal home is the one where
the wife is not bothered with finances,
where the husband is the provider-
and provides. In this ideal home the
wife knows the standard of living
which should be maintained, and the
husband is not annoyed in any way
with apportioning the household ex-
penses. The wife has what she wants,
because she wants only what the fam
lily can afford, and the husband takes
care of all expenditures, whether in
the way of money outlay or by pay
ing all bills promptly. In the ideal
home the question of money is seldom
mentioned, for the reason that 1t does
not have to be mentioned. The hus-
band sees to it that the wife is amply
provided with funds.-DaytOn News.

And unto common good ordaln

The war flags of a gathered world
Beneath our western skies fulhll
The Orient's mission of good Will,
And freighted with loves golden neece'
Send back it's argonauts of peace
For art and labor met in truce.
For beauty made the bride of use,
We thank thee; but withal we crave
The austere virtues strong to save,
The honor proof to place or gold,
The manhood never bought nor sold
Oh make thou us, through centuries long
In peace secure, in Justice strong;
Around our gift of freedom draw
The safeguards of thy righteous law;
And cast in some diviner mold.
Let the new cycle shame the old.

WERE PRACTICAL lDEALlSTS
Signers of the Declaration of lnde-
pendence Were Statesmen
With a Vision.

Those signers of the Declaration of
140 years ago were practical ideaiists.
They were statesmen with a vision.
The immortal document to which they
attached their names was no mere
statement of provincial or even ma.
tional purposes and principles. It was
as broad as all humanity. 1t set forth
not merely the aspirations of a nation
but the ideals of mankind. Taking
their stand on the laws of nature and
OF natures God" they asserted as self
evident that not only the people of the
thirteen United States of America, but
all men, are endowed with the un.
alienable rights of life. liberty and the
pursuit of happiness And chief

consent of the governed they hold to
be the powers most likely to effect
their safety and happiness" s. ~

happiness shows that it was no mere

Those who specialize in certain lines
of apparel have demonstrated that the
most utilitarian Of garments may be
made with an eye to beauty. This is
demonstrated in the overallaprons,
which answer the purpose of house
dresses in summertime, and in The
new breakfast suits which have an at
traction all their own.
These useful garments are turned
out by manufacturers and retailed
through shops at lower price than
they can be made for at home, II the
housewives time is counted IN as
worth anything. The overall-aprons
are described by their names and they
are designed to be slipped on and fas-
tened in the quickest way possible.
They cover the dress completely and
are perfect garments for housework.
There is a surprising number Of styles
in them to choose from, and they are
priced in the neighborhood of dollar.
Heavy percales, ginghams and cham
brays, or any of the strong cotton ma
terials that stand Tubing well are
used for them. The colors are nearly
stable, with stripes in combination
with white in great favor. An example
is shown in the picture, made OF lay
ender and white striped percale, piped
with a broader stripe in the same
color and finished with tie OF plain
lavender chambray.

A low Table.

Mother made "joy table" for her
children by saving off the legs of a
kitchen table more than halfway up,
so that the little ones could reach It,
Round the table, after it had been
painted green, was nailed green
ledge of wood-to keep in the sand
quite four inches deep, and table and
ledge alike were lined with zinc. Clean
white sand was now distributed even
ly over the table, and the children
hugely enjoyed a game Of "being at
the seaside" bringing their spades and
pals and making hillocks and water
ways on 1t. On other days the children
pretended that the table was village,
or a garden, and planted 1t with green
things and flowers and set a church
and farmyard buildings and animals
about. The table was a success.

Bible Only Noncontraband.

During the Civil war the demand for
the Scriptures increased and multi
piled and Bibles printed at the Bible
house, New York, were the only mer-
chandise which, during more than
three years of civil strife, the Union
army permitted to go through its lines
to the people of the Confederacy, and
the only merchandise which the Con
federate states were willing to receive
from the people of the North. In 1865
the receipts Of the society were $642,-
625.25, and the total number of Bibles
and portions printed was 1,150,528,
number which was not exceeded until
20 years later.-Christian Herald.

signers. but a clear. definite ideal. 1t
was the eighteenth century conception
of the twentieth century slogan or
making a country or city "a good
place to live in" They had no
thought Of simply exchanging one
species of formal authority for an
other. of setting up a governmental
machinery for the collection of taxes
and the protection of the community.
Their vision went much further than
that-to the pursuit of happiness. 1t
is almost as If those young republic
ans of 40 years ago had foreseen the
modern use of government for the
amelioration OF social conditions, the
extension of the function of public
action to do those things for the
people that can best be done by united
effort.

In two days nearly all the scattered
peoples of the young nation had beer
informed of the result, and the spirit
of the hour had inspired the raising
of troops.
To the king, the parliament and the
people of Great Britain the days had
been filed with anxiety. The main
question discussed was How fan

ance?" will the provincials stand
before the British regulars" was also
mooted question.
Didn't Anticipate War.
In the face of the steady importing
from the mother country, and the rap
idly increasing fleet of vessels of war
all heavily manned, it was believed
that the Americans would be cowed
and the whole attention of Great Brit
ain was centered upon her rebellious
children across the seas.

Forty Days to Reach England.
1t was on May 30, 1775, when the
first sailing vessel to arrive from the
colonies after the skirmish at Lexing-
ton reached Bristol, England. Even
at this early day journalism had
shown it's superiority over govern
ment methods, for the vessel brought
copies of the Essex Gazette of April
25, containing the brief account of the
engagement.
Post haste. they were carried to
London. and on the following day the
news was printed in the London
Chronicle. Thus. Al days after the
shot was fired, it's reverberations
were heard in distant Britain.
With but a simple headline
'LONDON'-the Chronicle printed
the important news. prefacing it with
the statement:
Tuesday, May 80, ITS.
Yesterday morning some dispatches
arrived at Lord Dartmouth's office
from General Gage. at Boston, brought
by a ship arrived at Bistol, from that
Province. They were forwarded by a
messenger to his majesty at Kew"
These dispatches contained no news
of the skirmish, being dated several
days before it occurred.

being that the objects seen are re
