Senator Napier was this week let
ting few of his republican friends in
on a little joke which someone has
played on him, either unintentional!y
or ."with malice aforethought and
Barney is not quite certain which. Mr..
Napier received long letter from Ohio
boosting Mr.. Burton, the republican
favorite from the Buckeye state. Mr..
Napier was assured that if he would
talk Burton and interest his fellow re-
publicans in the candidacy Of this
splendid candidate the matter would be
greatly appreciated by Mr.. Burton and
his friends. The matter was too good
for Mr.. Napier to keep and he confided
in few not of his political faith.
You ought to deem it an honor, Barney
to be listed in such good company.

Made a Good Appearance.

The striking mode of high-necked
dresses has nothing to do with the
collars of sports styles. These are
always arranged so that the neck may
be both protected and exposed, for the
collars are made almost invariably so
they will stand up about the neck or
can be rolled down.
There is little seen of this new style
yet. Women love comfort and wait till
the last moment before they will
change to one which is more uncOm-
Portable and which ruins the skin on
the neck. Here and there one does see
it. A very well-turned-out young wom-
an seen recently wore with blue suit
having a matching Georgette blouse a
collar which completely covered her
throat. But, to take away the dark
and unbecoming look of the blue col
lar, she had turnover collar band of
white satin half the width of the high
collar. This was fastened in front by
a fancy bar pin. 1t really gave her
an up-to-date and chic appearance
that she would not have had otherwise

For the Really Hot Days.

That is what most people call the
pretty blue and white printed cottons
which are being displayed for sum-
mer use at cottages or &c home.
These lovely blue and white scarfs,
squares and curtains surely look cool
and clean for hot summer days.
Did you know that you can have a
luncheon set of this printed linen or
crash? Funny blue storks appear in
the corner of each napkin and along
the edge of the runners. If you are
wise you will buy an extra runner and
turn it into an apron like the fudge
apron variety to match the luncheon or
breakfast set. The family will not
object to your sitting down to the
table with this apron on.

With Needle and Thread.

You would not expect TO find a de-
scription of cottage mailboxes on a
needlework page, but that is just ex-
actly where these newest boxes be-
long, for they are made with needle
and thread. They are made of heavy
cardboard or light wood, like that
of cigar boxes, and covered with Gre
tonne to match the hangingS in the liv-
ing hall or dining room. A disk of
the board is first covered with ere
tonne. To this is joined with a puff
ing of cretonne q smaller disk inclos-
ing bit of mica upon which the words
Outgoing Mail or "Incoming Mail'
are lettered. Now this should be
enough of suggestion for any mum
Der of cute holders for the mail as it
arrives or is ready for the post.
Cigar boxes may form the foundation
of these wall pockets, which can be
made as capaciouS as one likes, and
may be covered with bits of the hang
ingS, or with the wallpaper, or even
painted in bright shining colors.

Retaining the Sword.

The Turks allowed General Town
shend to retain his sword-the same
honor which the Russians paid to Sir
William Fenwick Williams when he
was compelled to surrender at Kars.
The custom is not uncommon in mod
ern history. When Lord Methuen was
captured by Delarey, his sword was
given back to him and he was re-
leased. The Spanish Admiral Cervera,
who surrendered with no boots and
very few clothes on, had managed to
bring his sword on board Capt. Bob
Evans ship. and he was allowed to
carry it to q cabin that had been al
lOtted to him. General Stoessel at
Port Arthur kept his sword, and at APP
pomattox Court House General Grant
allowed General Lee TO retain his
weapon. When Napoleon III. surren-
dered at Sedan, Bismarck tainted him
with the question, But tell me, your
majesty, whose sword is this? Is it
the sword OF France or your own
sword 2"

Duties of Maid of Honor.

The duties of the maid or matron of
honor consists in taking and holding
the brides bouquet when the ring is
being put on her finger and while the
prayers are said, and if the bride
wears her veil down over her face, the
honor-attendant must raise it for her
at the given time. She stands at the
rear of the bride, where she can take
the bouquet and hand it back with
ease.
The best mans duties consist prin-
cipally in keeping the wedding ring
until the moment when the minister
asks for it, when the best man hands
it to the bridegroom, who in turn
hands it to the minister. 1t is his duty,
also, to make all arrangements for
the wedding journey, after consulting
with the bridegroom, buying the rail-
road tickets, engaging rooms at a
hotel, etc.
These are the principal points of
the ceremony etiquette and are fol-
lowed alike by the wealthy and those
VINO are but comfortably well off. The
question of expenses remains the same,
even when the girl is poor, although
she may dispense with attendants and
reception.

GIRLS DO AS THEY PLEASE?

Evils change not on a sudden.
But many days must pass and many
sorrows;
Conscious remorse and anguish must be
felt
To curb desire. to break the stubborn
will
And work second nature in the soul
Ere wisdom can resume the place she
lost.
Where there is q daughter in the
family. who can be said TO be the
head of the hOuse-prOviding, of
course. father and mother are of the
meek and mild type and the girl self
willed?
BY the time the dresses of the young
miss have heightened to her shoe tops
father has discovered that it is use
less TO raise protest against her will.
Ii she decides that it is the high time
TO begin to entertain boys who have
asked 10 call father hastily quits the
house and, after a vain attempt en-
deavoring to argue the point, mother

Every Dother is very apt TO think,
after all is said and done, that her
girl is Just little short of perfection.
OF course she wasn't allowed to re-
ceive young men callers until after
she was twenty, but customs, she con-
cludeS. are different now from what
they were then, at least so her daugh-
ter assures her.
1t is the girl who decides whether
they shall spend the summer in the
country or at a fashionable resort;
whether father shall be allowed new
suit or not and mother likewise. She
accepts invitations out 10 dance, pic
mics or to the homes of girl friends as
her fancy dictates, not as mother wills.
The after life of the girl of this
sort can easily be pictured. She falls
in love with the type of man she
should not, wedS him and lives unhap-
pily ever after. Ii remains for parents
of a self-willed daughter 10 use kind

LINEN PERHAPS THE MOST SUIT
ABLE OF ALL MATERIALS.
Attractive Garments of This Stuff Are

There is nothing more crisp and
cool and wholly suitable for the sum-

which has served as an excuse, le-
climate or otherwise, for the boosting
of prices, and against which has been
charged good deal of fabric short

Norfolk and other belted coats, as
well as suits showing the f1aring pep

are developed in linen. and it is also
found desirable for riding suits.

Vevet Ribbon.

Velvet ribbon, which has not been
used to any extent on dresses for some
years past, is evidently coming into
its own again. One Of the newest mod
els is an afternoon frock of taffeta
trimmed with vertical bands Of mar
row velvet ribbon, placed both on bod
ice and skirt in graduated lengths.
The skirt was very full and hung in
four deep points, the velvet ribbon be-
ing zigzagged accordingly. The waist.
which was cut surplice effect and
formed a pointed bodice in front, was
trimmed with strips of the velvet rib
bon in such a way as to give the effect
of a doublepointed girdle. A gradu-
ated flounce carried out the popular
cape effect. The frock was a soft gray
ish beige in color, the velvet ribbon
a delicate pastel blue.

Have you ever turned from your
door woman with a child clinging to
her skirts, who was pleading for a
days work, declaring the child would
be nuisance, and that you could con-
slider only an unencumbered worker
IL you have, it is such as you who have
forced working mothers to place their
little ones in charitable institutions,
that they might gain employment to
fight for daily bread
The woman may go through her task
swiftly, mechanically, but blame her
not if the iron is a trifle too hot for
your lace-befrilled petticoat or en-
broidered doilies; for the moment her

her own baby. Her mother heart is
constantly torn by conflicting fears.

children huddled together in the small
| grounds are many; only momentary
attention can be given to anyone. The
working mothers paltry two or three
dollars per week being so little, she
must not expect more than ordinary
care for her child.
The cry of such a mothers heart is,
"Oh, God if l could but get work at
which l could keep Try little one by
my sider No hans. like a mothers
can soothe pain. No one can or would
| stand between baby and harm like
the mother who loves it better than
her own life. These working moth
ers-widOws-have heard of the eff
forts of humane sympathizers who are
endeavoring to have bill passed
whereby such women would be paid
the small stipend they are obliged to
pay the day nurseries for caring for
their children to enable them to care
for their little ones themselves at
home. They pray to heaven that the
dear privilege of caring for their little
ones themselves may become a reality
instead of only a fanciful dream.
Only those who have watched chill
dren brought up in charitable inStitu-
tons can realize the deadening effects
of such life upon the child. All
courage, heart and independence that
his nature under other influences
might have shown are crushed into
an apathetic state. Timid children
are overruled by the will of the
stronger be the cause right or wrong
AS the tree is bent so will it grow
The mother Flooding away to earn its
support has no voice in influencing
the nature of her child. Those with
whom the child is surrounded are the
compelling forces that bear weight
with him for veal or for woe. Give
the widowed, working mother the
wherewithal to care for her child al
home.

mewed itself into the sympathies of
the children one bitter, cold winter
night and purred itself into their affec-
tons later.
There was but one solution Of the
difficulty and that was to take off her
pretty collar, turn her loose and for
get about her. The woman who takes
this course must have a heart in her
bosom that is barren of pity. 1t is
only cat that is left behind, but it is
one of Gods creatures and one of the
most helpless. 1t cannot understand
why the door that has always opened
to its mewing should be closed and
not there.

hearts of those who cannot help hear
ing them. The poor, agonized ami
NAL eludes the dogs that are set upon

cruel boys, only to return again, when
the coast appears to be clear, to the
one and only home it has known. He
who has said cat has nine lives does
! not realize the frail hold upon the
breath of life the starving cat has.
| Those of its own kind have as little
mercy upon it as the heartless human
who thrust it out to starve fight or die
according to its fast failing strength.
! The few crumbs from the fashionable
| hotel where she is dining would keep
life in the little frail body. A few
cents from the price of the bouquet
she buys daily would board the chill
| 5ren's luckleSS pet.
Her little ones ask her repeatedly
If the kitty will be there when they
return. She answers evasively, 81
suppose So" but down deep in her
heart she realizes that the frail life
she could so easily have provided for
and saved will have gone out long be-
| fore their season of pleasure ends.
If all that is left of poor kitty is
| found curled up in a far corner of the
| 7ard when they return. it is tragedy
| In the lives of the children which they
are never able to forget. The truth
Is driven home to the hearts Of the
children that their mother is hard OF
Aeart-possesses wanton cruelty in her
nature to let an animal die that she
might have saved. Many good homes
could be found for poor cats during
the summer while the family is away
for a trif1ing outlay of cash. If kitty
is good enough to be one of the house
hold pets in winter, her welfare dur
ing the summer should be safeguarded.
Guilty indeed must be the conscience
of one who could go off pleasuring af-
ter turning out poor puss to starve.

out them. During her early youth they
should exert their authority, declaring
father or mother the head of the home,
whose word is law
No girl should be permitted to do
exactly as she pleases. Sweet, dam
gerous, foolish sixteen is not the age
of judgment. Mother should be the
one to decide what young men may
call and when. Even her dressing
should be in accordance with mothers
approval. In the selection of bean
father and mother should have equal
say-so and be fully agreed.
1t is kindness TO the seIf-willed

loving heart. 1t is for parents to
cultivate and cherish it. No girl
