THE SERIOUS GIRL

do not know why brown-ey girls are supposed to be serious and blue-eyed ones frivolous Most of the cleverest and most intellectual women I have met have had blue or grey eyes, and yet it seems almost universally believed that the blonde type is frivolous and the brunette so- Der and serious
 Most serious minded girls long for rnarcel1ed hair and frivoltty of mind; i; yet there is no type more charming than the serious type
 The serious girl is so reliable. Wom- en friends know they can trust her. Men friends find in her a companion for more moods than the frivolous one proper for an evenings enter tainment. The serious girl is never the belle of the party. Usually she regrets this and unconsc1ously envtes the light hearted laugh of the even ings favorite.
 She knows she is not the sort to be the "belle of the baIl.' If she is wise she knows she does not have to be. She will make few friends but those she has will stay by her. It is the most unfortunate characteristic of the butterfly type that while she attracts men and women by the dozens. the at traction is rarely lasting. She has little to give them but the moments pleasure so she draws to herself those who only wish the pleasure of the tn ornept.
 But the serious girl has a ready an

 To Repair Hemstitching-W hemstitching on scarfs or towels and the like is worn out and begins to tear it can be neatly repaired Cut out the henst-tching and on either side of the goods make small hems Then from any desired size of thread make two rows Of open meShes Ions enough for the length and width of goods. Then with very fine stitches sew the crochettng into the goods. When completed it is very neat and just as good as hemstitching.
 If you have a number of your hus- bands shirts and your sons blouses that have frayed cuffs and are worn near the band or collar, you can make sports shirts or blous-s of them. Cut the sleeves elbow length and hem. Then cut the band CT collar off close to the shirt. Next take a sport shirt collar pattern, measure it on shirt where you have cut off the band or collar, as t is easy enough to enlarge or cut smaller this pattern; then sew to shirt as though making a new shirt or blouse. Make the sport collar out of bleached muslin after shrinking. Nice to put on in the summer after coming home from business and nice =noush for boy to wear to school warm days. You get all the good out Of a shirt or blouse in this way.

 Dr. Bridges, the poet laureate of kEngland, refused to write poem on Ehae war which was probably not of sufficient importance. He hadn't con- tributed a poem to the gayety of na- tions from the war period up to the time of Princess Mary's wedding. If he was waiting for 6 chance. here was one. The rhyrling possibilities presented by the average wedding are without limit. Groom and gloom" t'bride'' and "crbed,'' given and ! '.heaven,' Honeymoon" and spoon" ''dapper' and ''happer.' oh, there are -thousapds of them. This, indeed, was a chance for the doc to wake up and shoot some very high class poetry out ! onto the sound waves for a million radiophone fans to grab and digest ] He might have manufactured nine or ten gallons of good poetry on this one wedding, which we are told is quite an event for those members Ot the nc- bility who succeeded in getting their ducal robes out of the pawnshops in time. In fact somebody mentioned this opportunity to the laureate but sulked in his tent. The divine in-
 Son did not strike him. He wrorecpnd will write nothing about this marriage. Apparently he doesn't approve of it.
 There is only one just punishment for doc, the poet laureate, for this dereliction of duty, He ought to be forced to trade places with some American column conductor for one

dress that was of her mother and made them so in love with clothes |? It was as if the sun rose and set in the snlartness of a hat, the gleam of a jewel or a bit of lace. She tried to picture herself as a future young lady of fashion and wondered if by any chance she could acquire a love and craving for gorgeous gowns and the other fripperies of the social life as her sister had?
 Amazing above all things was the rapid-ty with which Truda and her mother made their decisions. They wasted not a moment. There was no brown study about their buying, no dreaming over q line or loop. No, indeed. Within an hour after leav- ing the department store Ilona found hersslf the owner of exactly 14 new hats. They fairly took the breath out ofNcne's body. There was a hat for every occasion. 1lona, wondered deep down just what occasions she could find u wear all of them. But by this time she was far too tired to question or eXpoSctuIate.

 CLIMATE AND TUBERCULOSIS

Would you please give me the names of the states that would be beneficial to a tubercular person? AL so the one that you think would be best.
 Answer-colorado, Arizona. New Mexico, California, North Carolina, Muskoka. in Canada come at once to mind. Twenty years ago we were sending West all cases of consunnp- ton that had the money to make the trip. Many went and son after they reached their destination they had. used up all they had. In Colorado. especially, many stranger sufferers became cares upon the good people of that state; and the sufferers them selves soon died. Nothing hurts m ost consumptiues so much as poverty, worry, y,homesickness end having noth- ing to do. Also in a year or two, Colorado especially came to have one of the highest, if not the highest, death rate In our national registration area Why? Colorado has as fine a climate, as good, generous people and ways of living as anywhere on this green earth; and she ought to have as low a death rate as anywhere. She hasn't; because so many consump- tives have gone to Colorado and have died there.
 Besides. those who have gained their health in Colorado have to stay there, or tnereaboutss. Supposing their home was in Philadelphia-by-sea and they went West for their health; they could not return from, say Dem yer, which is 5000 feet above the sea. level Having breathed the clar- flied air in Colorado they could not with comfort breathe the heavier At Iantic coast air.

Disappearance.

Alarm a; failure OF Major James
duncan Elliott. L. :. A. to reach
ashinEton nearly thirty-six hours
after he had left Richmond alone by
automobile. prompted friends here TO
start an inquiry along the entire
route last night. Fear OF foul play
was expressed when all importan,
points between Richmond and Wash
!ngton reported that no accidents
had been reported. and that no trace
OF Major Elliott or his car had been
seen.
Major Elliott was in Richmond as
a participant In the Old Dominion

by l-ieutenant-ColonelW w. G. Johnson
and finished his play on Wednesday.
as ne was due back on duty with
the militia bureau of the War De-
partment yesterday morning, Major
Elliott started for Washington at "
o'clock Wednesday,, unaccompanied,
Colonel Johnson not having FINISHED
his play.
First news that Major Elliott had
not reached Washington was recciyeI
here early last night when Mrs. El-
li"tt' by long distance telephone,
made inquiry concerning him. She
told Colonel Johnson that Major
Elliott had had dinner engagement
with her for Wednesday night. but
as he had not arrived by that lime
she thought he had been detained by
the tournament. AS far as could be
learned. Major Elliott did not report
Tor dnty yesterday at the War De-
partment.
Lieutenant Il. .. Summers. l.. s ~.
last night reported the circumstances
OF Major Elliotts disappearance to
