Very Difficult to Make
Rules for Pronouncing
Words Of Our Language

good American citizen was mildly
indignant on being told that he was
not correct in saying, "I1i give you
my address," with the accent on the
first syllable Of his last word.
Certainly that's right" he said.
There's a well-known rule that when
a two-syllable word is used both as a
noun and as a verb, it's accented on
the first syllable If it's noun and on
the last If it's a verb. Why, I'll under
take to give you a dozen instances off
hand"
And he proceeded, with little time
for cogitation, to produce the follow
ing exhibits, ali of which undoubtedly
comply with his specifications:
Convict, export, import, annex. con-
duct, desert, compound, contest, pro-
duce, present, rebel, record.
Your rule is a failure, neverthe-
less" said his friend and critic. Il
admit that it seems to work with the
words you have mentioned; but I'll
undertake to give you twice as many,
and equally common ones, that falsify
it."
And he did. 1t did not take him five
minutes to think Of two dozen words
used both as nouns and as verbs and
pronounced identically in both senses.
Cover, credit, merit, offer, honor,
thunder, order, rescue, reason, season
master, purchase-in these the accent
is always on the first syllable; while
it is always on the last syllable in re-
port, account, exchange, control, COM
mand, attack, effect, advance, attempt,
preserve, ally and alarm.
All of which goes to show that it is
very difficult to make rules for the
pronunciation of our noble and be-
loved, but unaccountable language

IN SPORTS SUITS
SASH KEEPS ITS POPULARITY
Far From Passing, Il Bids Fair to Be-
come Even More Important Ar
ticle of Dress.

We keep hearing the rumor that the
vest is passe- certainly 1t is passing, IL
we judge by the signs Of the times,
and unless it has a revival will not be
here at all by fall. The sash, how
ever, has taken, on a new lease Of life
and is to play an even more important
part in our costume than ever before.
AS to fringe, it is to be more extensive
ly used than ever-in every depth and
wherever possible. The fringe band
ing is often seen trimming satin capes,
coats of camels' hair and dresses Of
taffetas and satin. This banding is
made by stitching the fringe on strip
of satin at top and bottom, so that it
has the appearance of insertion when
used as trimming. Now and then one
finds a color different from the dress
or cloak showing through the threads,
but this is not nearly so often used
as the palmer colored banding in blue
or black.

Tigers and Chill was soon lost entire
ly from view. What happened while
the athletes crowded around him will
probably never be known, suffice it to
say that when the debris was cleared
away Bush, Young and Heilman had
been sent to the showers.
A few seconds later Manager
Hughey Jennings was requested to
join his unruly athletes. At this stage
Jennings. ! although mad all over,
proved that his ever-ready wit never
deserted him. Because OF the sew
eral men who had been put out of the
game by, Chill it was necessary that
i number OF substitutes be made. .,-~.
AS Jennings went to the clubhouse
he notified Chill that Stanage was
acting manager. Chill in turn was
forced to walk several hundred feet
into left field to notify Stanage, who
was very surprised individual. ..

ChiTdren's Fall Styles.

Mothers are glad to see. guimpes
coming into fashion again for the lit
tie folks. They give a dark dress a
''dressed-up" appearance, and are a
great saving in the laundry. They are
decidedly fashionable this summer
and autumn, being made simply and
trimmed with either a bit of Val lace
or frill of plating of the sheer white
material from which they are made.
One mother has made a half dozen
of these useful guimpes for her small
''tomboy' daughter who is in the sec
ond grade at school, deciding that 1t
is easier to wash several guimpes
than several whole dresses, since it is
the sleeves and collar that are soiled
first.

Watch Chains of Hair.

Many men wear watch chains which
have been woven out of the hair on
their sweethearf's head. These chains
are supposed to bring their wearers
the greatest of good luck, not only in
their love affair, but in business af-
fairs, writes correspondent. The
hairs from which the chain is made
should never be taken from a comb or
brush, but should be plucked out singiy
nv the girl. and to make the charm
doubly strong she should pluck them
between the hours of midnight ana
one.

Control Yourself

The lack of self-control which shows
Itself by a flood of tears when any
thing goes wrong is not very much
better than the lack of self control
which shows itself by tll-temper, The
girl who snaps because she Is nervous,
generally realizes that she deserves to
be scolded, but the one who dissolves
in tears is likely to think that she
should be pitied. A wise girl controls
herself, resisting the temptation Of

An Annoying Insect.

TWO FANCIEs IN MILLINERY
Leghorn Hat, Ever Popular, and That

The Leghorn hat is a favorfte for
summer. A quaint, old-fashioned
suggestion is given to many of these
hats by the use Of flower wreaths or
garlands and long streamers hang at
the back or can be attached at the
side and drawn about the throat This
touch, especially If black ribbon Is
used, is usually very becoming.

tell her future husbands name, or. at
