ture. But though there appears to be
something stiff and prim about this
arrangement Of the boa, II was SO id
at the time that artists never tired
of the graceful, snake-like play of the
boa over pretty shoulders and arms"
1t did not so out of fashion for a
decade or more-not until the fashion
for high-cut neckS made such neck
coverings unnecessary.
The boa both of fur and of ostrich
was revived in the last quarter of the
last. century. Old-fashioned ladies
wore their long ostrich boas right UP
to the end of the century.
The ostrich boa as revived in this
year of grace 1897 has little in COM
mon with the boa as 1t was worn at
any time in the last century. 1t an.
peared this Spring and last at the
races about Paris. 1t is an accessory
dear to the heart of the English
woman, who never feels more appro.
priately dressed for the races than
when she wears lace and carries a
paraSol and has some soft sort of
frill or boa around her neck. This
Spring it was the mannequinS of GER
tain well known French dressmakers
who made the revived feather most
conspicuous. They wore enormous
boas of uncurled feathers in lovely
shades.
Women here and abroad have
shown their inclination to follow this
fashion. The short pierrot ruff of
ostrich may be more in keeping with
present-day notions of comfort and
convenience than the boa with long
ends that must be disposed of in grace
full manner, but perhaps it is the very
fact that the boa is not easy to wear
that recommends it to certain women
who want to achieve distinction in
dress.

Eating for Examinations.

A cartoonist had fine one the
other day showing boy at his desk,
but the desk had taken on the wings
of an airplane and was heading
straight into a fog bank, labeled Eek
aminations."
All over the land these fog banks
are looming up. We don't want the
youngsters to go down. We want
them to come through in triumph.
It's up to the mothers to see that the
young voyagers are equipped with
more than the ham sandwich of our
brave and successful Lindbergh.
Temperament has much to do with
the way youngsters approach their
tests. Bud may have to cram furi-
ously or he will funk. But he is not
really very worried over the matter.
He feels he'll slide through, and that
will satisfy him. Jim may reaNy be
ready for his tests with just a few
haps Jim is of highly nervous ma
ture, and his days are torn with doubt
as to whether he really will pass with
the high marks he's aiming for
The meals Of both boys need spe-
cial attention. There must be no d.
gestive rumblings to take their minds
off the exams. Remember the in
tense anxiety of your own schoolday
examinations, and feed the youngster
with extra care.

drink, simple cookies, like graham or
oatmeal, or even macaroons, and an
apple. If the day is not too hot,
cream of spinach or asparagus soup
would be palatable. A cornmeal muf-
fin to go with it would be good. Also
some particularly tasty vegetable, like
hot asparagus with butter, and some
fruit for dessert will appeal to the
young fellows appetite and nourish

Now his father and mother and
uncles and aunts thought that he had
a lot of cheek, a lot of effrontery, a
heap of conceit, a mess of egotism
Maybe he had some of all of them.
But one thing he had that counted
out all the rest. He knew that if he
thought he could, he could. And there
he was right.
The thought you hold for a child
has power over him, The thought he
holds for himself has power to move
him. Thinking is a powerful force.
Thought is force. Don't overlook
that.

SPANISH QUEEN ADOPTS
MODEST CHURCH DRESS

PARIS, June I. R)-Church dresses
which Worth, famous Paris dressmaker,
has designed for the queen of Spain
and the ladies of her court, and which
will be worn soon in Spain, fulfill all
of the Pope's demands for rnodesty.
They reach to the ankles, have long
sleeves and the collars are not lower
than the base of the neck Gray, beige
and black are the colors usually chosen
for them.
The queen of Spain was the first one
to order a church dress and other
models have been made along the gen
ieral lines Of Her Majesty's.
Worth has been couturier to the
queen of Spain for many years. He
was dressmaker to the Empress Eu-
genie during her lifetime, and it is said
that the queen Of Spain accorded him
her patronage by the request of the
empress.

More Truth Than Poetry

OUT OF THE FRYING PAN

When afflicted with chronic dyspepsia,
That brassie and cleek, if employed
for week
Would soon have. my health on the
mend;
used both these clubs as directed,
The greensward I walloped and tore,
And behold It befell that shortly
got we'll,
And dyspepsia disturbed me no more.
But when came the blizzardly winter
presently wished was dead,
For I always fall i'll when the weather
grows chill,
From series of colds in the head
So L moved to the south with, my golf
kit,
Played daily in match after match
And the whole winter long life was
gay as song,
For never cold did I catch.
In the spring came attacks of neu-
ralgia,
So took to the golf course again
And was pleased when I found that
the very first round
Removed all the twinges of pain
And so till the end of the summer
went eighteen holes every day,
And the wretched disease which had
robbed me of ease
Soon vanished completely away.
But now I'm estranged from my chill
dren,
My wife to her parents has fled
MY position is lost, and can't pay the
cost
OF clothes or of lodging or bread;
And know in the not distant future
In the poor house they'll have me
irnnured- 4
And all vainly I grope for a glimmer
of hope,
For golf simply CANNOT be cured!
