especially when they are choosing
clothes for daytime wear, as street

In the two handsome frocks for af-

els that are interesting to women who
like unbroken lines. One Of them, at
the left OF the picture, is especially
well suited to the slender or normal

plants and birds and animals are
very different from here, there are
Heating plant creatures known as
Portuguese Men-of-War.
The reason they've been given this
name is because some one who was
about to name them decided they
looked like old men-of-war vessels,

guese Man-of-War is made up OF many
little creatures all joined together.
Just as though many Of us were all
fastened together in our villages or In

"And some Of these creatures are
very different from each other. The

sThese are the large members of

rather second kind OF members Of

Of these-inany little creatures which
form the largest part Of tlie colony.
Many Of these are small and trum-
pet-shaped, and they are the ones who
do the marketing and get the food Tor
the rest
"Then there are members OF the col
ony who also hang from under the
many members on top, and they are
the fingers or the feelers for the com

There are some others stiIl who

look after the baby creatures who come

REGISTER THE NEW BABY.
COPYRIGHT ~ wEsresn nEvssa5Es UNIONS

Have you a new baby in the home ?
1t so, let, us remind you of an import
ant duty you owe your little one-make
sure that his birth is properly recorded.
III most states it is the duty of the
physician to do this but in many cases
the penalty for failing to do it is so
slight that it is best for the parent to
ask the doctor it he has done it.
Many times a parent feels that he
has never had any occasion to regret
that birth registration was not known
in his day and is inclined to think that
is purely fad. But we cannot be at
all sure what may come up in the life
of our little ones, nor can we foresee
the embarrassment which mi ht come
to anyone of them because there was
no indisputable record of the exact time
of birth.
Every birth should be recorded for
the following reasons:
Ito establish identity.
2-To prove nationality.
3-To prove legitimacy.
ITO show when the child has the
right to enter school.
5-To show when the child has the
right to seek employment under the
child labor law.
6-To establish the right of inherit
ance to property.
To establish liability to military
duty as well as exemption therefrom.
8-To establish the right to vote.
9-To qualify to hold title to and to
duty and sell real estate.
l0-To establish the right to hold
public Office.
Ito prove the age at which the
marriage contract may be entered into.

IF THE feeting millinery styles
j for the passing seasons left any
permanent record of themselves those
Of the present winter of grace would
be remembered for their chic shapes,
their soft contours, their rich decora-
TONS and for the amount of handwork
layished on them. There has not been
a time in the memory of the oldest
milliner, when there was more chance
for the exercise of her ingenuity and
craftsmanship or for the exercise OF
individual taste on the part of herself
and her clientele.

A little simple stitchery accounts for
