Browns, Writer Says.

1t Is the little things that count,
worn bromide saying is more of
trulsm when applied to dress than
anything else. 1t is the little mistakes
In dress that spoil the otherwise per-
feet costume. One may be ever so
careful in the choice of gown, pay
ing any amount of money for it. but
ruin its effect by the choice of pair
of shoes, stockings, gloves or any
other of the small essentials that go
to make up the correct toilet.
Shoes are especially confusing at
this time when so much Is offered In
the way of variety. 1t is easy for the
novel and the bizarre to usurp the
place of good taste.
The feet should be beautifully shod,
but not in way to attract undue at
tention 20 them. Nor should one wear
shoes that in any way detract from
the costume with which they are worn.
The woman who cannot afford COM
plete shoe wardrobe such as Is neces-
sary in following shoe fashions today
would do well to adhere to black or
the neutral beige AMI gray tones.
Black has an advantage over the
sand and gray shades. either singly
or used in combinations, in that It can
be worn with any costume and with
any Of the hundreds of brown, beaver
beige or amber tones, as well as with
the ever-popular grays. Then again
variety may be obtained by wearing
stockings of one Of the numerous
shades of gray or brown.
Colors or styles in dresses and suits
have had practically no effect on foot
wear this season.

THE BAD START
(copyisht.)

THE average man Is so constituted
agement is necessary to progress.
That is why nobody should worry
about bad start.
Get q good on II you can, Of
course. 1t will help. But remember
II your start was bad. that SO was the
start Of almost every other man who
ever attained place Of any impor-
tance In the world.
General Grant got bad start in his
studies at West Point, and did so poor
ly in the army that he resigned.
At the outbreak cf the war between
the states in America, he had settled
down to the business Of running a
yard and tannery in al obscure nli-
nois town.
His biographer says that he was ut
terly discouraged. But he wasn't. He
knew that somewhere in him was a
very great ability. And when he got
into the war, as all young Americans
on both sides did, ambition awoke in
him.
Everybody knows the rest Of the
story.

spicuous figures In the world today

The start itself was extremely bad
It would have discouraged most men

Frilled guimpes In net and lace are

JOSEPH, THE NEZ PERcE, THE
INDIAN xENOPHOE

THE. war was forced upon him.
i Realizing the uselessness of re-
sistance. he resolved to 1nd refuge In
Canada. Encountered with women
and children and having a fighting
force that never exceeded 800 war
riors: with an army In front of him,
another behind him and third on
his flank he began the flight. He
fought eleven engagements, five OF
them pitched battles of which he lost
but one. In the other six skirmishes
he eluded pursuers, killed 126 and
wounded 14O Of the 1000 soldiers who
fought him, but he lost 151 killed and
88 wounded Of his own people.
His military skill won the unstint-
ed praise Of his adversaries. After
successfully conducting this retreat
over 1000 miles Of the toughest coun-
try In North America he stopped to
rest. Fifty miles away lay the Cana
dian line and safety. Suddenly fresh
troops appeared and surrounded him.
Even then he could have escaped by
abandoning his women and children
and the wounded. But this he scorned
to do. After two days fighting he was
forced to surrender.
This Is the story Of Chief Joseph
(Hinmaton-yalatkit = Thunder Com
ing Up From the Water Over the
Land") of the Nez Perces. The Nez
Perce war began In 1877 when the In
dians were removed from their homes
IN the Wallowa valley In Oregon, under
q treaty which Joseph refused to
recognize. He resolved to submit
rather than provoke war. His war
riors were not 90 tractable. One day
one Of them whose father had been
killed by Q white settler rode into the
Nez Perce camp. II have killed the
white man who murdered my father"
he announced. "Now you will have to
70 to war;" Other murders OF settlers
followed and when the military was
called out the war began. Then fol-
lowed the famous flight through Ida
no and Montana.
It ended in October when General
Miles attacked JoSeph's band In the
Bear Paw mountains. After a two
day battle the chief gave up the con-
test. Il am tired of fighting. Our
chiefs are killed. The old men are all
dead and It is the young men who say
syes' and mo- in the council. 1t Is
cold and we have no blankets. The
little children are freezing to death
Hear me. my chiefs. my heart Is sich

New Lone skirt.

II Is an error to imagine that the
new long skirt Is too closely related
to the long skirt Of decade ago. The
old long skirt was somewhat awk-
ward affair. depending from the waist
and a good deal dependent on the
restricted waistline Of the old-fash-
toned corset. This Is why physicians
roared against 1t as injurious to the
health. Moreover, the oldtime long
skirt trailed on the ground all the
way round. The new long skirt
touches the ground only in panels, CIV
ing the effect of length rather than
the actuality of it. It hangs, more
over, from the shoulders.

The Story of London School Boy Who Stumbled

William Henry Perkin was an odd
sort of youngster. When he was Is
years old and student in the City OF

lectures on chemistry during the Il ION
recess. Young William Henry de-
cided that the lectures {5orld be Of
more value TO hin MA his lunches, so
he took in the lectures
Apparently the lectures made de-
cided Impression upon tNe boy. Two
years later he entered thes,abc-atory
of a chemist named Holman IN the
Royal College of London and by the
time he was II, had started upon his
career as 4 researcher. Pcrkin decidad
that his mission in lie was to Isolate
pkene1 threne from coal tar and pre-
pare artificial quinine. In order .

done he set I'D a private laboratory and

this laboratory in the spring Of 1856,

mass instead of clear crystals. He at
tempted to wash it out with alcohol
when, to his surprise, he produced

Ten years later Perkin achieved his
greatest triumph when he produced

I first suffered qualms of the heart
during my grammar-school days. The
cause was dark-haired miss who sat
about three rows from me. One day,
during recess, when / was all alone in
the room, I, endeavoring to do some
thing to please the maiden, took some
flowers that were on the teachers
table and arranged them in the form
of a large heart on the girls desk. I
still don't know what made me do 1t,
but at any rate the teacher came in
just as / was putting on the finishing

Poetry, indeed! But chemists are

materials a nation must have if it
hopes to live and compete with other
nations. Few nations realized this
truth, however, until the World War
offered convincing proof by opening
100 percent explosive and closing S.
percent chemical. That opened their
eyes, but unfortunately, Germany had
a fifty year start and took the trouble
to protect the advantage.
On January /, 1916, seven leading
dye companies of Germany formed a
dye trust to last fifty years with the
idea of controlling the chemical bust
ness of the world. During this period
they will maintain uniform prices,
wages and hours of labor, and ex-
change patents and trade secrets.
