tne CllIton case. Let us explain
briefly. To adopt the language Of the
learned county attorney, ut is" Tor
ought to be) clear to every person of
even elementary legal training" or
knowledge of the law governing the
business transactions of county school
boards. that all warrants, of whatever
purpose, issued by the board, after
being compared with the vouchers
and checked off on the books by mem
bers OF the boards, are signed by the
board, are signed by the chairman
and then go in regular order of bust
ness to the secretary (who is the su.
perintendent) to be countersigned
and delivered to the person to whom
they are payable. The warrants for
the stenographer came into the SUI
perintendent's possession in regular
course of business, just as all other
warrants do; then how can there be
any reason in the world why he
should use any persuasion to induce
the board to deliver it to him when
he already had it in his possession as
its legal custodian until its delivery
to its owner. The opinion of the
court was evidently based on a mis-
apprehension Of the fact in the case,
and can and we believe, will he cor
rected on true statement of those
facts.
Second: Attorney Huffaker makes a
poor attempt to create sympathy for
his client, which can have but one
effect in the minds of all thinking
men, viz: to produce that tired feel

Real Wonder Worker
 For Wrinkled Faces

Those who have tried all sorts of so- called "wrinkle-removers'' in a vain effort to lose those unwelcome traces of age, illness or worry, can scarce ly find works to express their delight with the wondrous saxolite formula, once they have given it a trial. The success of this method is due not alone to it's marvellous effectiveness-upon the deepest lines and crowsfeet as WeI as upon the very fine ones-but also to its surprisingly quick action and it's entire harnlessness. Its simplicity and it's inexpensiveness are other com mendable features, for one need only dissolve an ounce of powdered saxo- lite in half pint witch hazel. and bathe the face in this solution. At once a remarkable transformation is beheld.
 It is not only the effect on wrinkles and creases that Is so noticeable, but facial contour is remarkably improy- ed and the face looks much younger One should be sure to ask the drug gist for the powdered saxolite. The | lotion. being so refreshing, is par ticularly grateful to tired faces.-Adv

FRANCE IN 1880.

Kathleen Norris, writing in Woman's Home Companion, gives an imaginary conversation with young French girl describing the coming of the American soldiers to France, as she is supposed to reneber it.
 "'And men-to stand beside our men-from America! I remember standing in the chateau gateway on a bright November afternoon and see- ing them come up the road. Soldiers! We were used to soldiers! But these were different. Grandmere was with me, as we had been here all the time.
 They came along in the stream ing afternoon sunlight, and they srlil- ed and waved at me. They are the Americans!' Grandmere said, and she began to cry softly, God bless them God bless them!' she whispered, you know, we had their officers at the chateau, and one of them told me he also, had daughter not much younger than I, and that her name was Virginie-'
 I don't know why fir, God knows, there were hard times, and dark times ahead. But from that mo- ment I felt-hope. Child that I was I seemed to see behind these march. ing men the big and generous natior that was dedicating itself to their ser. vice, the women everywhere, witt their sewing and cooking, saving and | planning, their letters and their pray ers-all one in their work for ar ideal beside which the comfort and

Prince Albert was a handsome boy of IT when he first went to England to pay a visit to his young cousin, then Princess Victoria. They were both well pleased with each other. and after he left England they cor responded with considerable interest.
 Everything seemed smooth sailing for this distinguished pair of lovers. But on the accession of Victoria to the throne, at the age of IS, some thing happened. She never explained why she suddenly dropped the cor respondence with her handsome cou- sin, except in vague way. The re- responsibilities of her position as queen, she intimated, put all ideas of mar riage out of her mind temporarily.
 Prince Albert, naturally, was con- siderably disturbed at her silence. He hadn't the advantages of the more

plebelian lover who can press his suit as ardently and forcefully, as he de- sires. Court etiquette with which they were both encircled forbade his talk ing the initiative. This was the part Of the coy girl forced on him willy niIly, until his royal cousin should see fit to extend encouragement to him.
 Three years passed, and then even Prince Albert grew uncontrollably inn patient. He determined to settle mat ters in some fashion, and went to England with his brother. When they arrived at Windsor Castle the queen. herself, met them at the top of the staircase.
 Apparently, she was again favora- bly impressed by the handsome bear ing and personal charm of young AL bert. On the fourth day after his ar rival the queen confided to Lord Mel l bourne, her chief adviser, that she had made up her mind to marry young Albert. On the following day i Prince Albert was summoned to the l queens presence.
 He found her alone. There she confessed to him that he had won her 1 make him exceedingly happy if he would make the sacrifice of sharing his life with her.
 l It is an interesting commentary on the modesty of the queens character "a trait which she repeatedly exhib- | ited during her lifetime-that she spoke to every one about the great sacrifice which Albert made in be- coming Prince Consort. Most young princes would have regarded the sac rif1ce as coming from the queen. But she was herself too fine and delicate spirit not to realize that the princess position would be difficult one.
 At frst-being simply Prince Con sort and not King-he wasn't present at the interviews between the queen and her ministers unless especially in- | vited, but after year or two he was always present as a matter of course. The princes good taste was evidenced by his careful method of adapting himself to his position-counsellin the queen in all that she planned but never obtruding his own personality. When offered the command of the army, he declined, saying that his principle was Ito sink his own indi- viduai existence in that of his wife, and to aim at no ostentation or power
 for himself"
 It was a difficult counting, but one
 of the most happy royal marriages o1
 all time.

There's another advantage about the box coat costume. It can be se- verely plain and look tailored, or with the addition of a few yards of sou tache or other trimming it will be transformed into Q dressy street cos tune.
 The type shown here is of the lat ter variety, and although it is gener- ously trimmed, nevertheless it still maintains youthful simplicity which could not be attained if another cut of coat were used. Only coat and skirt are shown in the illustration, but the costume is really three-piece. In the original model a blouse of old blue chiffon is worn with the skirt.
 Brown duvetype is the material used in this box coat suit, and the trimming is mink fur. brown wool embroidery and a silk tie of Chinese blue.
 The skirt Is scant, and has a deep border of brown wool embroidery. This same border appears on the bot tom of the jacket and arund the sleeves. This suit is for early fall wear-consequently the three-quarter length sleeves are appropriate. These sleves are quite full, and the soft blue chiffon of the blouse is exposed for a | few inches below the elbow to the wrist.
 At both sides of the jacket there is an opening so the back and front o1 the coat hangs very loosely, and main. tain a perfectly flat line. This fiat 1 effect Is impossible without the silk 1 at the side, as otherwise the coat i: sure to crease around the waist aDt at the hipline.
 ] The sailor collar is of mink, ant this is the only fur used on the cos tune. As relief to the dull brow1 there's a splash of color at the necl fastening in the shape of the silk col lar of Chinese blue. This is tied il a loose bow-like a Windsor tie.
 This bue must be very carefully SC lected, for if the wrong shade is uset it spells the color scheme. The ligh or insipid blues cannot be combinet with brown, as they make it lool muddy. In order to form a reall beautiful contrast the so-cal1ed Chi nese blue must be used. This has more vivid body, and in ocontras makes the brown look golden tin rather than the ugly dark shade.
 A little hat is worn with this cos tume-preferably some model on tn Tam" order, or simple, rather fla toque.

KAPULANI.

Kapulani was the wife of Naiho, hereditary counsellor in the court of King Lihhohho of Honolulu. She gained fame by causing the overthrow of the worship of Pele. The imme- diate region around the crater of Kilauea remained under the influence of the priesthood of the goddess Pele for several years. She was the most fearful of all the deities of Hawaii demanding the most wicked sacrifices of heathenism. In 1925 Kapulani dared to disobey the heather dic- tates of the priesthood and visited the crater. She ventured to the brink of the abyss and descended several hundred feet toward the burning lava. Then she cast the sa' cred berries of Pele into the flames thus proving that Pele was powerless to spout liquid fire and bring other punishmentS the priests had threaten. ed. Her aa4 destroyed the power o1 the priesthood.

There's a definite tendency toward | the loose-hanging costume these dayA And this doesn't mean the "semI-f1tting'' styles. Loose blouses of the Russian or smock type are all the vogue, and now fashion ordains that the suit coat also is to be loose- fitting for the young or slim.
 Although considered a typical young girl style, the loose-f1tting box coat has the advantage of giving youthful lines to those not so blessed. For the box coat has its own indtvid- ual contour, aad~it utterly ignores all of natures lines.
