II seems that there Is everything
to make life more enjoyable for the
tiny tot these days. At Woodward
and Lothrop's they have some
dainty little blue coat hangers with
\ tiny head Of a child painted
thereon. Some are fair headed and
some are dark.
At Whelan's they have some very
attractive little powder buffers fas-
tened on the end Of q fancy handle
just like q ny swatter OF pancake
turner. They are all fixed up with
gold net and ribbon flowers and
lots Of fun to use.
The chin band wells are very
popular and worn exclusively by
some women. They are very be-
coming to most OF us and service
able as well. They have a very
good stock OF these at Goldenberg's 5
In several colors.
There will never be q hat that
will endear itself so to tho mothers
heart as the first beaver that her
daughter wears- There arc several
ways of dressing beaver and there
are innumerable ways Of making
sub a hat but the particular young
girls style Il trimmed with q band
and streamers OF ribbon. At Lans-
burgh's they have some very fine
ones and saw a lovely white one
at 8. Kann and Sons.

How much 10 It worth to be en-
gased by the year:
A woman has been doing some
figuring on the subject and she esti-
mates that a thousand dollars per
annum 10 no more than fair COM
pensation. rsa
For twenty years she was wooed
by q dilatory lover who courted and
courted but never named the wedding
day and eventually espoused another.
Now the forsaken maiden asks the
courts to award her damages at the
rate OF 5000 year for the time she
wasted her sweetness on the desert
air.
When you take into consideration
the wear and tear on hope. and the
strain and affection involved In q
long engagement. to say nothing OF
the wounds suffered by.a susceptible
heart, and the price Of coal and
electric light In these days of the
high cost OF living. II doesn't seem
a cent too much. Being engageds Is
a luxury q man should be willing to
pay for. and It is q pity that when
Cupid renders his little account so
many slackers dispute the bill.
As a matter OF fact. being engaged
is like q great many other things IN
iife-the more you have Of II, the
less II Is worth. II is only when IL
comes In small and explosive pack
ages that Il 10 really OF any value
We often wonder why such and
such q girl whose beauty and wit
render her Unusually charming is
drifting into old maidenhood when
her less attractive sisters are marry
Ing well all about her and establish
ing themselves in life. Ninety-nIne
times out OF q hundred the answer
Is because she has been Silly enough
to tie herself up in an endless en-
gagement to some man who either
does not wish to assume the respon-
sibilities of marriage. or else is in no
position to do 50.
! There Is nothing TO be said in favor
OF the long engagement. II rubs the
bloom on of romance. II becomes a
burden. and II ties two people to-
Eether with q bond that sooner or
later begins to chafe. and that one
or the other would break II they had
the courage to do SO.
! Especially is II a hardship on the
girl Her anomalous position as
neither bond nor free, neither maid,
wife. nor widow. gets on her nerves,
and makes her old before her time
Nor in the end can she ever avoid
the suspicion that even when a man
does. finally. make good on his prom
ise to marry her that he is doing il
because he is a good sport. and
hasn't the heart to leave her in the
lurch after all her patient waiting.
| Therefore, il Is ENCOURAGING to see
= good stiff price being put on the
long engagement. Perhaps when IL
costs as much TO be engaged to a
girl as II does TO marry her, IL will
1 start q matrimonial boom.

to Educational Bill
NO BUREAUCRATIC
METHODS DESIRED
Witnesses Favor Creation of Depart
ment of Education for Encouragement
and Cooperation, But Not to Boss
Educational Work.

WASHINGTON, July l5.-yederal con-
troll of education was vigorously opposed
by special committee of educators that
appeared recently before the joint COM
mittee on education of the senate and the
house, now holding hearings on the bill
to create a department of education. The
witnesses who testified before the commit
tee supported, on the whole, department
of education, but only on condition that
the proposed department should concen-
trate on encouragement of better methods
and cooperation, rather than to attempt
through bureaucracy, control of the whole
educational system of the country
Among the educators who appeared to
support the bill were: Mrs. Mary c.
&. Bradford, president of the National
Education association; George D. Stray
er, Teachers college, Columbia university;
Mrs. Josephine Corliss Preston, superin-
tendent of education for the state of
Washington; DR.. j. d. Joiner. former

CAMEL QUEER ANIMAL.
Poison of All Other Beasts Is Food for
Him

The camel walks on four legs, and this
is about all that he has in common with
any other animal domesticated by man.
The poison of all other beasts is his food
He pines and wastes in the fat meadows
which are eysium to all the rest of the
four-footed creation, but grows fat, power
full and savagely independent among the
alkali crusted sands with no better com.
pany than gray lizards and scorpions.
One of the most powerful and enduring OF
beasts under adverse circumstances he
will die upon the least provocation in civ
ilized surroundings and will pine away
to shadow if confined to an Enclosure
and fed upon the choicest foods for a
month
Bearing an innate grudge against all
restraint and all who restrain him, the
camel will use the great strength of his
legs to kick his keepers or the dogs which
guard him in the waste places, but in
the presence of enemies, among wolves
or other beasts Of prey he is coward
forgets the very use of his legs and proves
his cratic temper by screaming and spit
ting in terror. No camel wants to be
loved, and no one familiar with camels
over entertains the least affection for
them. China News.

A French scientist has discovered an
