"What'S in a Name?"

Facts about your name; its history; mean
ing; whence it was derived; significance;
your lucky day and lucky jewel.
REBECCA.

~ GOOD old Biblical stock is Re
I J becca, which is translated
''pcosed cord" 1t Is said to come
from the Hebrew word rabak-at least
that was the origin of the first Re-
becca, a name which seems to have
been coined especially to be bestowed
upon the wife of Isaac, of Biblical
fame.
The Rebeccas of the world should
make excellent wives, since the word
Ribka, a later rendition of rabak,
which means d cord with a moose, is
given to convey the firmness of the
marriage cord. The Septuagint and
me Latin both give evidence of the
name Rebecca in very early times. An
other version, said to be the author
lied one, makes her Rebekah. This
latter form seems to be the one af-
fected today by every young miss who
is called by the name of the good old
Biblical heroine.
Despite the religious significance
which history has given to the name,
Rebecca has been great favorite
with writer's, who have employed her
in more or less frivolous rOmances.
Two Rebeccas who will never be for
gotten by present-day readers are the

The styles Of today are on their
way to make room for the styles OF
tomorrow. At this seaSonrof the year
we are In the painful process of transit
ton, but the wise ones will watch the
signs of the times to see how some
fashions will survive and others be
cast into the discard. Just now, says
a New York fashion writer, we hear
some hardened skeptics saying that
women will never depart from adopt
ing extreme fashions TO make them
selves conspicuous. or some such an
tique theory as that. But there are
others who assert that the short
haired girl has come to stay, because
that way of dressing her locks is more
practical and that the corsetless hg-
ure, with its Straightline clothes, is
with us for life, for the same reason.
Who knows? If we are women, we
must needs conform to the changes
in fashion, whatever our inclination.
And most of us incline to conform.
We get that peculiar feminine thrill
out of a new frOck which no other
proceeding on earth can bring with 1t.
Buying for Winter.
Western buyers are putting in
their first stocks for winter They
are cIeaving to short skirts and TO
straight lines. But this is always the
way of this period of the season. They
follow closely in the trail Of present
fashions, as any wild flights of fancy
might lead them into untold paths of
loss and unappreciation. The duty,
and yes, the desire, of the New York
public is to go on beyond, creating new
types of fashion which, in their turn,
will be followed just as. assiduously
by others next season.
The success of the spring coat and
the adaptability of the One-piece dress
have joined hands, the two making
their autumn bow as a coat dress. Of
course. we have had coat dresses be-
fore this but the predictions are that
they will be more brilliant achieve
ments this coming season. News from
Paris indicates that we are following
the lead right here, for many of the
wholesalers have reported that sales
in this particular direction are going
strong.
A new slogan might be: ''It is the
belt that makes the gown" for in
many instances all else is plain, and
the winding around the waist becomes
the center of the design of the whole
frock All sorts of fancy ribbons and
brocades are brought into play for this
form of decoration. Then there are
cords galore, and strings of beads and
metals to be used for girdles. Any
one Of them is thing of beauty all
by itself. and its association with the
gown brings both into relief with
fascination one cannot fail to appreci-
ate.
Wool Shaws for Winter.
The desire for Spanish Shawls IS
not, it seems. just an isolated flight,
for we are to have shawls for the
winter, too. They are to be of wool
and embroidered, and generally
speaking, they are to retain much of
the grace and charm possessed by the
highly colored ones Of this season.
Women have found them too becom-

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT

BvF. A. Walker

as a row is settled offhand, without
waiting for the sheriff with his star,
everybody is very careful not to start
anything"
If a man may be insolent, selfish
or unchivalrous without running any
personal risk, there is a chance that
he may go through life like a bull in
a china shop.
But when everybody attended to his
own quarrels, it was overdone, and
false standards of ''honor" were set
up as in the case of dueling customs
of certain European armies.
1t is probably better to rely on the
policeman and the law when we suf-
fer an injury.
On the other hand, it is pointed out
by Mr.. F'ranhcu and the like that the
law is a cannon that it takes many
months to load.
Besides, the law does not bother
about trifles, such as somebody's feel
ings. Actual injury must be shown.
Good manners may be q trifie. But
they have lot to do with happiness.
And happiness is no trifle.

You do not need to know how to

the ability to get things into print, to

glad to hear and willing to pay for.
One way is to begin On speculation.
Get something that wants publicity,
and find your medium, and if neceS-

earth to do with the skirts when ac-

manage to get in ones way in the
most miraculous manner, while "knick-

knickerbocker suits are made from
the most delightful sorts of materials

tweeds which are the joy of the pres
ent season. They have about the
sportiest look of any of the newer
sport clothes, and one might venture
to say they have come to stay.
Prices are dropping to something
approaching normal. Materials are
far less costly than they were, and
consequently ready-tO-wear garments
are coming down in sympathy with
necessities as we'll as luxuries.
In Paris the mannequins at the
races have been wearing skirts that
are very full and very long and hooped
out around the bottom after the Span
ish manner. AS yet they say that the
ladies on the Paris streets are not
indulging in this fashion. but if the
models are doing it, then we have rea-
son to take notice that this may be
accepted style for autumn.
Radium Silk for Lingerie.
AS one of the necessary attributes
of lingerie just now is that it shall
be nontransparent, the artists who
are designing the newer models have
taken radium silk into the scheme OF
their calculations, and with some very
attractive results. 1t is presented in
the lighter pastel shades and when
made on the simple, prescribed lines
and trimmed with some bits of hand
made lace and ribbons to add to its
charm, it appears real creation.

say, the costumes and the colors and

they had been in the past. AS for

that it is believed they may set the
color note for the smart ones of the
season. There We're numbers upon
numbers of long, hoOped skirts, and

GOOD MANNERS.

A WISE Italian says that you can
~ tell how civilized people are by
the way that they behave in the
street. He adds that if man is con-
slderate of his neighbor it shows that
he has proper respect fof himself.
If a French peasant brushes against
a stranger in the street or on the
road, he touches his hat in apology.
This sensitiveness to the rights of 9th
ers is not found everywhere else ill
the world.
In fact, the tendency to hustle and
hustle, to push others out of the way,
has been growing of late nearly every
where.
Gilbert Franhcu, the novelist, is so
irritated by what he calls the bad
manners of the day that he regrets
the good old days when everybody
carried some sort of weapon and was
ready to use it, If offended.
Undoubtedly a man with sword
who was not inclined to fight would
be careful about knocking against an
other who was similarly armed.
The Chinese have a proverb that
"The fear of death is the beginning
Of discipline.'
If this is true, there must be some
thing in the theory that when people
gave up wearing rapiers and pistols,
they become undisciplined and care
less.
In the same way, though the use OF
arms tended to cheaper human life and
10 encourage Dragging and bullying,
dueling and brawling, it also had. an
effect on manners.

T HIS makes the songs Of night so
sweet:
They are not here before your

But over yonder; over hills
You hear the evening whip-poOr-wills
Their notes melodious, their trills,
Repeat.
The unseen singers sweeter far
Than Gagged companions always are;
They do not sing for you. for me,
They sing for all humanity
They are a part of grass, of tree,

And so in life, the pleasures there
Are greatest common everywhere.
We ask SO much for our own ease,
We seek so much so much to pleaHe
Yet find our greatest joys in these
We share.
We must tear down the selfish wall;
Our song must be comrade call.

Each day will be increasing glad

as upon demonstrations Of the use Of
sulphur on alfalfa conducted by the
county agricultural agents In co-opera-

year 285 tons of sulphur were used,
at total cost Of little more than
$4,000, and the increased yield, reck.

jackson county 277 tens. costing
about $4,000. are estimated to have
