Ribbon plays an important part IN
dress trimmings, accessories, etc.. and
never have they been more beautiful
than they are this year. Many are
interviewer with gold and silver and
some are formed almost entirely of
dull gold or silver tissue.
There are ribbons of satin with pals.
ley spots in Old-fashiOned tints, and
pale taffeta ribbons in rose. mauve
and natter blue, over which are
sprinkled at intervals 'lucky" lady
birds brocaded In dull gold or sil'
yer.
Striped or checked faille ribbons
are extremely fashionable. and among
the novelties are ribbons with long
weaved fringe at the ends.
Various are the ways In which these
ribbons are utilized for frock trim
mings. They are introduced in the
form of inset bands, plated. shirred or
plain. and sometimes as frillings or
ruchings.

orlaIn Of Scottish Festival.

4 The origin Of "hogmanay," which
used to be 80 dear TO the youth of Scot
land, ay. and to the auld folks, too,
has given rise to endless discussion.
The following correspondence has ap-
peared in the Scotsman as to the
origin Of the custom and the name:
"The derivation Hagia-mene, the
holy moon, has been suggested, the
period of which corresponded to our
December. Some, with considerable
plausibility, derive 1t from the Latin,
Hoe in Ammo, a persuasive to charity
which reminded well-to-do patrons that
the year had all but run its course. hut
that there was still time to relieve
their needy supplicants. 1t is not I'M
probable that the term is Of Teutonic
origin. It may be connected with
Hoegtid, name applied to Christmas
and (Or) other festivities. Hoeg-tide
day would thus mean the laettissimus
dies, Ur gladdest season Of the year."

AMONG WORST OF BAD HABITS
Proerastlnation, When One Has Work
That Must es Done, Bound to
Result In Failure.

He was an excellent workman. Few
things were in his speciality which he
could not do better than his mates.
But he was not n success. Others who
had worked at their calling much less
time passed him in the upward climb
of progress. His fault, his crime, lay
in one thing-he had the tomorrow"
habit.
When he had three days in which to
do piece Of work, he squandered the
first two in idle speculation as to the
amount Of time absolutely necessary to
complete his task. If he decided that,
by hurrying, he could perform that
task in six hours, ne temporized until
the beginning Of the six-hour period.
He was eternally loafing and hurrying,
eternally wasting time and making
time do double service, His work he
came more and more slOvenly. Other
workmen surpassed him. Before long
he was superannuated. re.'
If you find yourself figuring on the
amount of time you can loaf and still
get your work done, watch out. II, you
do not, the tomorrow habit will get

DAY OF WAISTCOAT
Paris Sketches Predict Advance
of the Long Garment.
Promises to Be Dominant Feature OF
New Autumn Clothes Which VIII
Be Introduced In August. "

Last January, the women In Paris
wore waistcoats Of fur, velvet. knitted
wool and dyed hOmespun that reached
from the collar bone to the knees.
The heads Of dressmaking houses,
who are carefully watched wherever
they go, contributed to the fashion
for these accessories by placing them
in their own suits.
America introduced few Of them,
and she did not find even the short
waistcoat of last February, success,
declares writer on fashion topics.
1T was worn by few segments OF
smart women, fashionable and unfash-
ionable, rich and poor, but the long
waistcOat was treated as an outcast.
1t was not even recognized. But
France persisted and the dressmakers
in New York are putting 1t into suits
and frOcks for summer resorts. The
prophecy runs that 1t will be a dOmi-
nant feature Of new autumn clothes.
In large bunch Of Paris photo
graphs that have come over. this long
waistcoat is repeated in many fabrics
on women who are snapped as they
go about their new and active life.
The sketches that come over from the
big designers as heralds of what will
be advanced in August, show the long
waistcoat also. 1t is made in differ
ent color from the gown; 1t is used
for protection or for beauty, and al
though 1t is probably taken from the
reign of Louis XIV, 1t has none Of the
elegance or jauntiness Of its prede-
cessOr. 1t merely looks warm and
comfortable, or gay and colorful.
1t is the longest waistcoat that has
ever been worn by woman. 1t was
matched in length by those worn at
the court Of the Grand Monarque.
Looking at it in its most essential fea-
ture, it is merely another way to
straighten the figure. 1t, therefore.
can be adopted by those to whom mid
die age has brought an undesired ro-
tundity.

Hats or for Hair.

Keep your hat Off as much as pos.
sible. Hair cannot lie too easily or
loosely for its own health, and that Of
the nerves and head. Anything like
pressure, heat or strain about the head
will injure the brain and the finest
parts of the nervous system. Pulling
the hair up too tightly from the back
of the head and ears will cause the
glands Of the neck to swell. Notice
what relief 1t is to take all your hair
pins out of the hair and let 1t hang
loose for few hours.
If you adopt an easy, artistic and
natural hair dressing, nervousness will
disappear and headaches will be un-
known. 1t Is not only beneficial to
the growth of the hair, but to the
nerves Of the head to wear 1t tied with
ribbon Mt the nape of the neck, free
Of hairpins, whenever possible.

New Kind Of Honeymoon.

A domestic long in the service Of
well.known Alabama family recently
gave "notice" of two weeks, explain
ing that she desired to get married.
The mistress managed to secure
successor, but was dismayed to dis
cover that the new servant could not
report for duty until week subse-
quent to the time fixed for the we'd
ding Of her predecessor. So the pres.
ent incumbent was asked whether
she would not agree to postpone the
happy event for week. This the do
nestle declined to do. However, she
said that she didn't in the least mind
getting married and continuing the
household duties till her successor
could put in an appearance. The hus-
band.elect - Offering no objections,
this arrangement was agreed upon,
and an hour or so after the marriage
ceremony the domestic was perform
ing her duties just as before.

BARNS PART IN SOCIAL LIFE
Small Boy Whose Father Possessed
One Used to BE q Good Deal
of an Autocrat.

In simpler times, and In parts Of the
United States where simple customs
prevailed. the popular small boy Of
the neighbOrhOOd was not necessarily
the son OF the richest or most proml.
nent family, but, more likely, the hoy
In whose yard there was a good rain
barrel a smooth cellar door, or barn.
The boy who would now and then,
from pure favor, or In return for mar
bles. or some other valuable consid-
Grafton, permit other boys to "h0ller"
down his rain barrel, or slide down
his cellar door, or, greatest privilege
OF all, play in his fathers barn, was
the boy whose friendship was best
worth cultivatlng.
Some boy. In the small community
or generation ago, was sure to have
a father who possessed n barn, and,
generally speaking, he intuItive,y felt
his power, and exercised It over the
other boys on his street or in his part
of the town. Wherever he went, the
barn stood back Of him and gave him
support and influence. He could say
and do things to the other boys that
they would not dare say or do to one
another, simply because the boy he
said or did things to could see the
barn door behind him, open or closed,
as the case might be.
To be one Of those entitled to nd
mission to the barn was to be in the
right set; to be denied the privilege of
playing in the barn was to suffer So
cial Ostracisin.

The Cost az Life.

ITO live is always to be hurt In
some way" said young voice re.
Gently. 1t was the half-resentful, half.
wondering voice Of one still new to
the experiences Of existence, and ques-
tiOnlng their justice.
The statement Is true, and the more
fully alive one is, the more keenly
are the hurts felt. Every Joy brings
with 1t its possible price of suffering.
Every love opens door to sorrow,
every gift brings Its weight Of RESPONSE
bility; wider knowledge brings the
larger drain upon sympathy. The high.
er one rises In the scale Of being, ths
greater becomes not only the capacity
for Joy, but also the twin capacity for
suffering but who would choose to be
clod to avoid feeling. a block Of
marble to escape the pain Of living

that have made the coast of British

Once the designing and constructing
of totem poles fiOurished among the
Haidas and to lesser extent among

before the white man invaded the Pa
cific Northwest. Real totem poles with
the history Of tribes and families
carved into their odd structures are
no longer made and each year sees

Demand FOR canned MINK Of oa,.,.

California has large ranch stocked
with Swiss and Nubian goats, the milk
from which Is condensed and canned.
Gonts' milk is said to be very rich, and
is in demand as nourishing food for in
valids. A well-bred milch goat will pro-
duce IL times its weight in milk. A
cow produces yearly three times her
weight II she is good mixer. but the
goat cannot be depended upon for q
steady supply Of milk at all times
through the year. Therefore 1t 10 said
that canning is the best method Of
making a goat dairy profitable. An H.
ounce can Of condensed goat milk re-
tails at 20 cents In the West. and the
sale has thus far been confined chiefly
to drug stores.-Pacific Daily Review.
