ToDAY's POEM
THE LIMIT OF DEVOTION.

Dear Heart, I'll dance with you all
night, ~
From eight to-any hour you please,
But this I swear with all my might
I will not go to Dancing Teas!
To trip with you is pure delight,
You float like milkweed on the
. breeze
But though to love to trot, all right,
will not go to Dancing Teas!
Pale, slender youths whose brains are
slight aE8s=-d @
Can trot all afternoon with ease,
But don't class with them-not quite
I will not go to Dancing Teas!
At nighttime, when the lights are
bright,
I'll one-step till I strain my knees;
By day, I've too much work in sight,
Twill not go to Dancing Teas!
-Berton Braley in Harper's Magazine

SAVE THE CHERRY PITS

Sixteen hundred tons of cherry pits,
now a source of annoyance and ex-
pense to canneries, can be made to
yield two valuable oils and also a meal
for feeding cattle, according to spe-
cialists OF the Department of AgricuI-
ture. In addition, 1850 gallons Of
cherry juice now wasted in seeding
cherries can be turned into desirable
jelly and strip, or even into alcohol.
A saving of these valuable by-products
from cherry canning may make pos
sible the domestic manufacture Of
substitutes for almond oil and bitter
ALMOND oil, now imported, and at the
same time establish a new industry in
the cherry-packing districts of the
North Atlantic, North Central, and
Western states

Suggestion For : SIX Blouse Suit.

There is nothing more stylish for the
spring suit than taneta, especially If it
is. made in blouse design. The side
closing model is one of the most at
tractive Of the spring costumes and
this costume may be reproduced for
medium size. from yards s6-inch taft
feta-
The blouse may be made with or
without a collar or cape, according to
the fancy of the wearer. Below the
waist-line there is a three-ptece pep
Iurn. gathered at the top.
Lay the material in open width
though doubled. on the cutting table to
cut the c1Ef, sleeve. front and from.
peplum section of the blouse. Each of
these pieces is placed on a lengthwiss
thread of the silk,
The back peplum section, the back
and collar are laid on a lengthwise fold
Of the silk, as shown in the smaller
section Of the cutting guide. The Jokes
are laid on a lengthwise thread, how
ever. Provision is made for shorteninR
the sleeve and for changing the outline
of the neck, If desired.
Checked silks are trimmed with plaid
or striped materials, while the plata
taffetas are decorated with faneg
braids or novelty silks. Much deperAs
upon the colors combined on thess
suits. If properly blended very rich az
fects may be gained and the dress yen
kept within the limits Of the average
dress allowance.
White gabardine or whipcord wouIG
make up attractively in this with bel:
of black patent leather. The sut4
while simple in effect is distinctly chic
and there is a youthfulness to it that
makes instant appeal to young girle
and slender matrons. There is no rea-
son why blue serge or gabardine or q
smart gray tweed would not make ny
just as attractfvely.

adopted by the grangers, who hold that

under such restrictions. while they have
to buy their articles of production under
other conditions.

The Republicans Future.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Has the Republican party any future
The question was raised by the paper
founded by Horace Greeley. in a review of
the campaign published four days after
the election. We have already directed
attention to the remarks of the Tribune on
the character Of the candidacy of Mr..
Hughes. and the immoral purpose Of the
party managers to humbug the country by
naming candidate whose views were not
on record. and who was willing to talk
seneralities, and could be trusted not to
say anything definite on any subject ex-
cept the entirely safe one of the tariff.
But The Tribune did not stop with the
past. II took glance at the future, and
said few words that might well set all
the Republican voters to thinking:
$50 much for the past. Looking to the
future. is il not possible even today to per-
ceive that the fate that overlook the Wing
party in 1882 now threatens the Republ-
can party, which succeeded to its estate
The Wing party died Of the effort to swal-
low the Fugitive Slave law it died of the
effort to face both ways on the great ques-
ton Of the hour ii persisted because in the
presence Of great national crisis it could
only think of an election. II could only talk
Of material prosperity, and II was prepared
TO invite the vote Of the STAKEHOLDER in the
South and the Free Soiler in the North by
an avoidance of every question that did
not concern the pockets and profits Of the
voter"
Last June the country faced great ma
tional crisis. The Presidents attitude tow
ard the belligerents on both sides had
aroused small, noisy and bitter opposi-
ton to him. The question before the
country was whether 1t would stand by
an Administration that had maintained
our neutrality. or whether il would repu-
diate the President because he did not
subordinate the interests Of the United
States to those Of Germany.
Under these circumstances the leaders
Of the Republican party selected for their
C0uutudtC q Ahoh WhuoC uuNCo vi Tile
bench had restrained him from saying
anything about the questions raised by the
great war. Having nominated an unknown
quantity. the MANAGERS entered into bar
gains with the German-American Alliance
on the one hand. and Mr.. Roosevelt on the
other. to attack the President with all their
might, but for dramatically opposite rea-
sons The candidate easily became the
tool Of this corrupt and unprincipled COM
bination. While donouncine the President,
which evoked applause from both sides.
he avoided any statement Of what the
President ought to have done. or what he
would do under similar circumstances. be-
cause he could make no statement that
would not ALLEVIATE one group Of his sup
portefs or the other. All the party was after
was the election. All il offered to the
was permanent prosperity. " Dem
