IDEAL FOR CAMPERS
Southern Railway Issues Pamphlet Set
ting Out Attractions of Summer
Life in North Carolina.

The Southern Railway has recently
issued an attractive pamphlet setting
forth the delights of Camping" on
Mount Mitchell, in Western North Caro-
lima, and other places in the National
Forest, that will make pleasant the
long hot months of summer.
Camping during the summer months
in the North, East and West always
has been popular. The Blue Ridge
mountains of North Carolina are said
to be lacking in none OF the features
of interest or value possessed by the
better known camping grounds. The
opportunity to camp on Mount Mitchell
has been provided through its crea-
tion as national forest by the United
States.

X CULT OF A GOOD VOICE

could only be likened to the snap of a whip. Unless such child is checked in youth she will grow up with a harsh toned speaking voice-a most unlovely thing in woman
 Some think that they can use any kind of voice around home and put on best" voice for company The re- suit is artificial and insincere. No sensible person tries to put this theory into working effect Have one voice the best one. Use it at home and guard 1t carefully, never allowing excitement or anger to tun away with it's pleasant ness. Before you begin to speak have your voice placed" in an agreeable key and pronounce your words clearly and distinctly. You might practice little rimes in the privacy of your boudoir every day until you get the habit of a correct way of speaking and a pleas ing tone is acquired.

The Pretty Woman

X PRETTY woman's weapon is her
 eye. It is here with which to flat ter, to beguile, to charm, to repel, to fascinate and to search. Throughout these windows of the souP she can express her whole being, if she will, or hide her inmost soul forever. But here again enters in the question of health. A dull, Iackluster eye, with heavy hos, encircled by dark rings, bespeaks bad health and lack of sleep and exercise. In it's normal condition the white Of the eye is clear and unf1ecked, the pupil large and dark, the iris a clear, deep color and the surrounding skin fair and transparent enough to mirror the dusky lashes that droop over it. Only too often thin and straggiy lashes and eyebrows mar otherwise beautiful eyes. To correct this it is only neces- sary to apply a small amount of white vaseline each night, rubbing it in well The friction as well as the lotion itself stimulates the action of the cells.
 Every dressing table should contain a soft camel's hair brush for smooth ing down the brows. Thou hast the right arched beauty of the brow,'' says Falstaff. Imagine a dusly, black eyed beauty with thin, poorly def1ned eye browsi Imagine a tremulous, round eyed blond with eyebrows that stand up like quills on a porcupine. Yet al too often it is defects exactly like these that prevent perfect beauty.-Sperrs Magazine

THE TILT OF THE HAT.

A SUCCESSFUL milliner makes the
 assertion that ninety mine in a hundred women don't know how to put on their hats. And as just about nine ty-nine in a hundred women have to put on their own hats this lack of skill is almost deplorable.
 The gravest fault in the way women put on their hats is that they don't put them on far front enough. One reason for this is that they aren't big enough. very often. It is an economy, if your head is unusually large, to have your hats made to order.
 If your hats are becoming they don't need hair about the face to soften them and make them more becoming. If the straight line of hat against skin is not becoming don't pull out a fuzzy lock here and there to soften the lines. Instead, make one curl in the middle of the forehead and pull 1t out so that it makes thin fuzz or bang.
 If the line of the hat over the ears is trying make a curl just over each cara definite one, that gives a defi- mite effect. Don't just use the stray locks that you can pull from the hair on top of your head.

SensibIy In Love
,a;S,S;;;,ss,ss,;ss;ssss;;ssss;sss;;;

A GOOD husband can be made out of the most unpromising material by a woman who is sensibly in love. She does not make her dependence upon her husband or his dependence upon her too apparent, but she makes herself essential to him in every way as a companion in the gorgeous ad- venture of life. She leads him, when necessary, by appearing to let him lead her. She exhibits her trust and con- ceals her jealousy. She gets the care and devotion she wants more by show ing she expects to get them than by demanding them. She cares and makes it clear that she cares, not by what she says, but by what she does. She relies on her husband, but she also relies on herself and she fills him with the as surance that he can rely on her and himself be relied on. If this sort of woman were to become "a deserted wife" she would be fully entitled to the heartfelt sympathy of the whole wide world. But she is not the sort of woman husband is ever fool enough tO leave

WT is remarkable to note the tremen- N dous hold chiffons, voiles and N crapes have obtained as the most A fashionable materials for smart costume making this spring.
 Today chiffons lead. At least chiffon cloth leads, with georgette crape, silk voile and wool voiles enjoying the same ratio of demand.
 Of course chiffons are in plain colors mostly. although high style effects are offered in plaid. striped and even floral printed patterns.
 Fashion pronounces strongly for checked materials as highly acceptable designs for the Ynodish spring suit.
 England has managed to send quan- titles of checked wools in homespun, tweed and cheviot weaves.
 These, supplemented by the products of our own mills, bid fair to exercise g. marked effect upon suit styles for the coming season.
 There is no end to the new cotton materials, many of which show a mer- cerized finish. The oxford weave Is a novel material and exceedingly smart, suitable especially for the coat and skirt suit or for separate skirts for
New Britain herald., 1916-03-10

sports wear. Noncrushable are whip cord and cotton gaberdine, a likable and serviceable material as well, Bed- ford cords and piques are shown in white and with stripes of color
 Any woman who likes simple lines which give elegance Is distressed when the fashion prompts a profusion of trimming, and it is time for this dis tress to be shown. With the exception of the new Poiret gowns the fastidious woman finds everything overloaded
 And what about sleeves? Almost every gown has it's particular pair of sleeves Here the designers have run the entire scale of individualsm. There are long sleeves and sleeves that hardly reach the elbows, wide sleeves and sleeves that fit the arms so tightly that it will be next to impossible to raise the arms after the frock has been fastened, sleeves without as much as button to relieve their severe plainness, and others filled and puffed in the elaborate manner of the Eliza bethan era.
 With taffetas in the lead for spring costumes, combinations of plain and striped silks are favored for suits.

The Georgette model illustrated uses cornfiower blue silk for the jacket, with collar and cuffs of blue and white stripe. The interesting feature is a lit tie short cape fitted into a yoke and edged with a narrow plating, which also extends all around the jacket. A strapped belt buttons down on to a | ripping flare that tops the two baya- | dere founces of the dashing skirt. Crispy, chic and colorful, this costume could be nothing but French.
 1 If one is to judge from indications every girl who turns her face south ward this season will carry a frock or suit of white serge and one of taffeta. Beyond that her choice may range at will, but in these items lies the prac- tical foundation for the southern out- fit, and no one can go aniss in placing them at the head of the list.
 The Palm Beach suit featured is combination of white, gaberdine and figured taffeta picturesquely used on the belt, collar cuffs and buttons. The trim skirt is cut an easy walking length.
 The good looking house gown pic- l tured is fashioned of wistaria taffeta,

OPEN NECkS AND HEALTH.

PORTRAITS of famous beauties who
 have kept their good looks late in life always show that they wore open necks and heelless shoes, says a well known physician. Certain it is that when the neck is restricted with tight collars the important thyroid glands on either side of the windpipe, the great stabilizers of the human body, cannot do their work properly and the CO., relations between other glands in the head, throat and chest are interrupted. It is these glands which store up the reserve strength and vitality so much needed in later life and which regulate the entire body and head The thymus glands in the chest are particularly important to growing girls

THE SOCIAL FABRIC,

ITO uphold the social system women
 submit to uncounted tests of their constancy. They endure physical dis comfort, ennui the peril of cold drafts and damp places, hours of weariness and moments of acute annoyance for the sake of what, to man, is an un- important social matter. And even though at times she feels that it would matter little if the whole social scheme of things should perish-and that in stantly with fire and b]oodshed if need be-rather than require so much of her, she stands to her colors.-Vogue.

A GOOD speaking voice is an envia-
 ble asset, but one that compara- lively few American women possess. Isn't it true that in your own acquaint- ance there are few women or girls of whom you hear such a compliment as Her voice is wonderfully attractive?"
 A good voice is a power. It charms with the charm that holds. It is some thing worth cultivating, if it Is not all ready one of your possessions, because 1t can be cultivated.
 At any rate, if you are the mother of small girls begin to train them from the early days of childhood, and when they grow up they will have that envi- able additional power of attraction. Training begun in childhood along this line simply insures an attractive voice fin the adult. It doesn't take much of the mothers time-just a little correc- ton and little assistance now and then.
 Children are initiative, of course, so it will be necessary for the mother training the child to train her own voice at the same time if it is not all ready of a pleasing speaking quality. So the instruction works to advantage all around. And, again, because chill dren are initiative they should be more or less in the company or those who do know how to speak properly. When children are at play is the time when they are specially apt to let their voices "go," and in their excitement xhey will utter words in a tone that

 There is too much pentup vitality in all of us, and yet it is better for your beauty and poise that you expend it with discretion over a number of activities rather than exert all of it over one.
