Golden Rule, as an expression on In
ternational fellowship and good will
and as a source of food supply for the
homeless and the starving, an Inter-
national Golden Rule Dinner is pro-
posed for Sunday, December End.
"On this day all persons who are
disposed to make practical application
of the Golden Rule are requested to
provide for their Sunday dinner the
same menu as that approved and used
for at least $4,000 orphans in the Near
East every day. Of course, in Amer
lean homes there need be no limitation
of quantity as there must, of necessity,
be in the Near East orphanages where
not a scrap Of food is ever wasted"
The difference between the cost OF
the usual Sunday dinner and the sim
pier, less expensive orphanage menu
Is to be made as contribution and
thank offering for the purchase of food
for the orphans Of the Near East. In
this country people observing the
Golden Rule Sunday will send their
contribution to the Near East Relief
headquarters in New York City and
other nations win cooperate on the
same day by sending In their con-
tributions through their own national
organizations.
Details as to the proper sort Of
menu to serve on Golden RULE Day
may be obtained by writing to National
Headquarters Of the Near East Re-
lief, Isl Fifth Avenue, New York
City, or to the nearest state Office.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
it's remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large

great preparation send ten cents to DR..

BUYING THE NEW SUIT

The most difficult dress to manage
economically Is probably the tailored
suit OF course the shops are always
flooded with cheap suits, but these
are likely to prove a snare and a pit
fall, unless you are preparedLto rec
ognize quality in material, and good
Workmanship when you see 1t.
What most women want at the pres
ent is n suit that can be worn at least
two years. 1t is considered economical
to distribute your purchases so that
suit, furs and coat do not all come
out of one years. salary. And in
general, the highest-priced suit, II
simple in design, will wear longer,
for it Is apt to be made of better
grade material.
Shall the suit coat be long or short J
1t depends upon the figure of the girl,
what style of suit she should get.
II you are inclined to be too tall, or
lanky, you will do well TO avoid the
severe long lines, and choose rather
something on the style Of the short
box coat On the other hand, IL you
are desirous of appearing taller and
slenderer than you really are, the long
coat will give you just the height and
"straightness" that you need.
Choice of material for the new suit
always presents problem. The cloth
must be durable, for only then can
1t be depended upon to give the wear
required for the thrifty shopper. Each
season sees Fashions own pet fabrics
brought to the fore. but what is most
important from the shoppers stand
point, is to get cloth that will hold
its shape, and not wear shiny, nor spot
easily when exposed to the street dust
snd all sorts of weather. Soft dark
hues are more practical for constant
use than either pale or brilliant colors.
The good shopper will instinctively
strike a happy medium between the
fussy, impractical suit, and the too
severe model. Embroidery is all right
for the suit that is intended for more
formal wear, but great deal of fancy
trimming makes suit too "dressy"
for everyday wear. Whenever trim
ming Is used on the best type OF suits,
1t is usually self-colored or black
soutache.
Remember, also. to be conservative
about buying striking and bizarre
models. Some Of these enjoy only a
brief seasons vogue, and II worn the
next season will make you appear
conspicuous.

"ELEGY" WAS WORK OF YEARS
Thomas Gray's MASTERPIECES Clearly
Not the Result of Moment
of Inspiration.

It was eight years from the time
Thomas Gray, English poet, began the
most famous of all his poems, "IIlegy
Written in a Country Churchyard," un-
til he had finished it. He began 1t in
1T42, and 1t was finished in June, 1850.
1t attracted so much attention in manu-
script that pirate announced his in
tention Of printing it. This caused
Gray to authorize publisher, to whom
he loftily yielded all the profits, to
print an edition in 1851. 1t attracted
at once the popularity 1t has never
lost. and was much parodied und imi-
tated throughout the western world.
II was his love Of romantic scenery
and his morbid temperament which
gave Gray his post of eminence among
the "Churchyard Poets" lie was
shrinking and fastidious, and he was
also depressed by the standards of his
age in respect to poetry. Biographers
say that he was indolent and irreso-
lutte.

An outburst Of color is the most
salient feature of fashions at the mo-
ment. u Is almost impossible, observes
iZe the far-reaching effect of this out
burst. 1t is far-reaching not only In
the effect that II has on women's dress
in general, but upon the trades and in
dustries of the world.
Methods of making fabrics and OF
adorning them, hitherto unused or long
since idle are now in full swing. All
sorts of printing and dyeing processes
are affected by fashions. Fashion Is
more than an influence; ii Is vital
and powerful stimulus 10 many or the
worlds most important industries. II
Is unfortunate that fashions are treat
ed in disparaging way by those who
no not understand their full signiti-
cance.
Fashions are not tritling and fry
olous. Few realize that not only nun
dreds, but thousands, of people are set

Clal types OF malerlhlS.
A type of placing embroidery on a
fabric to give the appearance OF print
ing is seen on model which consists
of u smart robe-manteauX of navy blue
serge and royal blue crepe mongol. a
silk crepe almost as heavy as wool
serge. The dark serge is covered with
deep royal blue silk. The pattern Is so
executed that the royal blue embroid-
cry stands out almost as a background
on certain parts of the dress, while In
other parts the ornamentation is so
light that il seems to be only slight
navy background.
Every Wardrobe Must Have One.
There is no doubt about the fact that
many and various printed silks and cot
tons will be worn, made up in many
and various manners. Everybody has
gone wild upon the subject; and unless
collection of clothes contains one or
more of these printed costumes then II
is not to be noticed in the polite society
of clothes. The prints are done very
simply. There is not the slightest in
dication of trimming. But there Is
every evidence of the attention 10 de-
sign which the character of the print
ing of the silks calls for. AS one looks
around at the collection of printed silk
dresses which has already appeared
upon the market. there seems to be
not single violation Of the principles

Silk is evidently the thing for the
spring months, but there are some
tweed and homespun suits and skirts
which are certainly worthy of some no.

HOW TO SAVE
MONEY WHEN
SHOPPING
By MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
10. IsZz, HArIAnd IA AIIen'J
"IS 1T FOR YOURSELF"

"For yourself?" piped the smart
young salesperson in the shop where
i had strolled to look at hats.
For whom else would be shopping
for a hat on hot summer afternoon?
j wondered.
But as | watched number of WON
en- buying hats-a short, fat woman
going out with low spreading hat
that made her look shorter and fattef
than ever; woman of the tall, beam
pole type elevated still nearer the
clouds by high plume-crested crown
Il decided that the question hadn't
been SO irrelevant after all. How often
does a woman buy a hat that is really
designed for herself?
If your face is full and round, do not
choose small, brimless hat, or one
with turned-up brim. 1t will only
change the adjectives "full and round
to soft and fat" What your facc
needs is general lengthening and re
ducing effect, and this may be accom-
plished by medium-brimmed hats, by
sailors. and by having the brims mar
rover at the sides than at the front.
A thin face that looks small and
peaked under a large hat, may play
up all its fullness and delicacy OF
curves under small one.
The snubblest nose can be coaXed to
be quiescent under large or medium
sized hat, while brimless hat or one
that turns up sharply in front would
only accentuate the sauciness.
For the woman with sharp, angular
features, "softness" is the keyword.
Her problem is the same as the thin
faced woman's, only that slie must be
careful to avoid any lines that accen-
tuate the angles of nose, chin, cheek
bone or throat. Stiff sailors only null
tiply her woes, and yet how she usu-
ally does ''fancy" them!
Youthful faces may fearlessly wear
the straight brimless hat or the turned
up brims which throw the complexion
In high relief. But the woman with
age-iines, or the younger woman with
worried, worn features should wear a
hat that has loose, drapy effects, and
brini enough to shadow the lines.
II you are Of the medium-type of
face with regular features. you are
often told that 'you can wear any
thing" This is never entirely true.
There are certain lines and materials
that will bring out your good points
better than others do. So, For Your
self is pretty good rule to go by.
It seems to me, when shopping for
a hat"

VICTIM OF HIS OWN ERROR
American Tourist Really Had No
Right to Complain Of Extortion,
Under the Circumstances.

Ambassador Herrick," said a re-
turned tourist, told me In Paris that
a good deal Of the so-called extortlon
we tourists complain about Is due to
misunderstanding.
"He instanced he case of n tourist
in Brussels who got on a tramcar to
make the whole journey round the
exterior boulevards. When the con-
ductor asked him where he wanted to
go he said:
"'Toute le jouinee.'
'He thought that this meant, The
whole journey, but 1t really meant.
All day long; and so the conductor,
putting him down as an eccentric,
gave him Is tickets and charged him
Is francs.
Fifteen francs! What an extor-
tion The tourist rom that day on
couldn't knock Europe and European

understood by the smart women who
are making the styles Of the moment a
popular success.
For the South they are wearing not
only whole frocks of printed silks and
cottons but those that are made up of a
combination of printed and plain
material. This fact Is illustrated by a
dress that has its lower section made
of print that runs, in stripes, on to
the upper section of the costume. The
lower portion is made of print of blue
on white background and the upper
section is made of plain and heavy

Cotton Thread Embroidery.

French dressmakers always have
used considerable cotton thread In
their embroideries on silk and wool ma
terials. Renee, that clever artist In
the details of needlework. uses ordi-
nary white sewing cotton for very
casual appearing embroidery on a silk
frock. Other French makers work out
what appears to be printed patterns In
cotton threads Of bright colors such as
blue. rose, green and purple.
Color, as allied TO millinery, is Inn
portant. Several prominent French
milliners are continuing this spring
the vogue for pink In combination
with black, as brought out late last
season. This spring, however. the
pinks are deeper, nearer the coral
tones. Such shades as these are used
to face hats of black straw and as
trimmings There is a great demand
for ribbon In these shades, both wide
and narrow. An unusual use OF mar
row MORE ribbon Is seen In upstand-
ing rows which completely cover the
brims Of hats. Very interesting and
daring hats have arrived from Paris
in combinations Of bright orange and
black.
One can predict with more assur-
ance about color than about shapes
in spring millinery. In shapes mo-
dlstes are practically trying out new
ideas. At the beginning of each sea-
son there Is always n varied collec-
tion. There is one point In this re-
spect, however. upon which all hat
makers appear to agree, and that Is
the poke bonnet of both medium and
small size.
Wells are important for spring. This
will be good news to the very TENT
nine type Of woman who always finds
this little detail OF dress particular
Iy becoming. The lacy veil that just
falls over the brim Of the hat Is well
liked.

In succession Of decorative stripes.
Outlining the sleeve edges there are
facings of white which serve to ac-
centuate the principles of the design
of the garment and the whole dress APP
pears as one of the best examples of
the art of the American designer as ap-
piled to the figure of the. American
woman.
Around the waist of this frock there
is tied a plain and unadorned version
Of the Deauville scarf. The dress hap
pens to be a combination of dark blue
and white and the handkerchief, curl
ously enough, is made of square Of
pure white silk bound with a narrow
little edgng of dark blue grosgrain rib
bon. 1t serves as just the proper sort
of belt for the dress and, at the same
time, 1t happens to be finish for the
dress which is made up Of the two
-colors.
The white. then, is set in at the long
nrmholes, with q slender bit of blue
edging to contrast with the finish of the
scarf about the lowered waistline and
the design of the dress becomes, with
that addition, something that Is entire
ly complete in itself, and that Is fitted
to stand the competition of whole
season with the persistence of a fash
ionable thing that is destined to outlast
the demands of season, no matter
what may be the points that are exhib-
tied to show what that season Is up to
in the way of style.
