tions and edgings. They are gathered
Ger a tape ut the waist. In finishing
the fiouncc with lace the edge is cut in

narrow hem which Is stitched down
over the lace edging as shown In the
petticoat at the right. But where n
scalloped embroidery Is used the seal
lops are cut out, leaving little of the
plain material to turn under. This edge
Is then basted to the edge of the
shaped nounce and stitched down, after
which the flounce is trimmed away

LOBELIA USED AS A DRUG
American Indians Gathered Plant for
Their Chests-Called "lndian
Tobacco"

American Indians found one plant
growing in damp woods, handsome in
spikes of pale blue flowers, which they
used as medicine.
When the white man came the same
plant won the favor both of the apoth-
ecary and the gardner, but the gar
dener has paid more attention to its
cultivation than has the apothecary.
Hence we know it more as a flower
than as drug. 1t is the lobelia,
named for Matthias Lobel. Flemish
physician and botanist, says the Phil
adelpha North American.
The medicinal substance in the plant
is called lobelin, an alkaloid, although
the Indians probably didn't know it.
The common use of the plant among
the aborigines led the early settlers to
call it Indian tobacco"
When it is cultivated for commerce
the seeds are scattered on the sur
face of the ground late in fall or early
in spring. They germinate early in
spring and send down roots.
When the flowers are blooming the
plants are cut and dried in the shade.
An acre of good soil will yield 1000
to 1,20O pounds of herbs.

philosophically. He II always very
certain that undue influence caused
the young woman to choose "the other
fellow" Where one man is satisfied
to let it go ut that others make up
their minds that their hopes need not
be entirely snuffed out until she turns
from the altar the wife Of rival.
Men with such notions make prac-
tice Of attending every public affair
the girl and her fiance are likely to at
tend or to call at the homes of friends
she visits. 1t Is u very difficult matter
for the young lady to meet the beau
she has Tilted. She feels that she
should not embarrass him by coldness
nor yet encourage his presumptions,
If he has any, by being too cordial. He
cannot be met as stranger or mere
acquaintance nor yet a friend. Those
who have once felt the lingering clasp
Of the others hand can never be us
strangers are nor as casual acquaint-
ances-cOntent either to meet or not to
meet-nor yet as friends; for two
whose hearts have warmed toward
each other ever so slightly can never
afterward be only friends. Friend
ship may glide into love, but love
back to calm friendship-never.
If the Tilted beau Is courteous. studi-
ously polite, If they nre brought into
contact, but he does his utmost to keep
out Of her way, the average girl is duly
thankful. If he persists in lowering
about her, presuming upon past MEM
orles, it Is embarrassing in the ex-
treme to anyone save an acknowledged

Foolish is the maid who encourages
the old beau. If 1t is done to make the
new sutor jealous, it rarely works

Sensible girls will not give an ac.
cepted lover such cause for discon.
tent-and therefore shun the society OF
the Tilted beau and take pains to lei
him know he is not wanted when he
persists in making his appearance al
gatherings she attends, lowering at her
side. When either man or woman Is
the Tilted one it should suffice to know
love is dead and it Is impossible tc

To the gods belong tomorrow.
Times minutes as they go make US old
Every sand OF his fleet glass
Increases age as 1t doth pass.
A bachelor said to me recently: -
fancy there will be fewer marriages
this year than ever before" "How dc
you make that out?" 1 queried, hoping
to lure him into an offhand discus,
sion on a subject so dear and so vital
to the hearts of women. TOO sporty"
was the rejoinder. "Hats suitable for
n twelve-year-old girl on heads OF
young women well into their twenties;
they cannot get coats too gay for them;
red, green or yellow awning striped
skirts, reaching only to their ankles at
that, and party shoes in which they de.
family wade through the slush Of the
streets. And no one will deny that
nine out Of ten have their cheeks
frankly rouged. They may inspire mo.
mentary admiration as for a passing
picture, but not one man out of hun
dred could fancy such gaudy butter
flies Of fashion sitting in an Old-fash-
ioned rocking chair cuddllng baby to
Sleep"
ut Is always the man who blows his
horn loudest and longest against wom-
ems dress, her sensibility and all that
sort of thing, who ends by wedding the
youngest and most flippant chicklet he
can find who will reluctantly consent
to take him." pursued.
Ye bachelor is always ready with a
u,Ipk ratprt sUTho man y-hr nbnoeas
youthful mate does so with the hope
of being able to mold her character,
ways and notions, which have not had
time as yet to become rigidly fixed.
The young wife can be induced to dress
to please her husband, the one we'll
seasoned in years-no. They have wills
Of their own and challenge even hus.
bands right to interfere with them in
doing as they please. They are quite
as worldly wise, versed in all things, as
the husband. A mans vanity suffers
II he Is not looked up to by the partner
of his joys and sorrows.
1.-THE girls of decade ago used to be
good listeners. Now they think it the
proper thing to meet man on his own
ground and talk him down, as it were.
What man would consider passing the
balance Of his days with an opponent
of that kind? Girls will find single
blessedness increasing until they
buckle down into being just the old
fashioned kind of a modest girl and
dressing as their mothers did. The
rouged girl Is not the kissable kind
that Is, the one man would eagerly
long to propose marriage to and seal
the bargain with a kiss"
"Any more faults to conjure up
against the 1915 girl?" ventured. AS
he was silent got back at him by de-
clarlng that the women of today were
the fairest, sweetest, wittiest and the
most lovable in the worlds history. We
need bright, picturesque dressing to
dispel as much as possible the worlds
gloom. Not one out Of hundred
needs rouge to supply bloom to her
facet Nature does that.
The reason some women are single
Is because they won't wed man whose
record is not all that 1t should be to
wed pure heart mate. An honorable
man or none is their slogan and ap-
plaud them for the courage Of their
convictions.
