S&ndow. the strong man, is trying to build King George up to his own standard as against coronation week. " A Chicago minister says that some marriages are planned by Satan, and we thought they were all made in heaven. The harem skirt is being taken seriously In Rome. One father has committed suicide because his daughters wore them. Prof. Perrier, a French astronomer, tells us emphatically that there is no life on Venus or Mara When astronomers disagree, etc. An aeroplane carried thirteen men In a flight in France the other day, hut the average citizen still prefers to cling to mother earth.

V A Boston clergyman says women have lost the art of blushing, and this may be why some are wearing the bobble and some the harem skirt. Pride goeth before a fall. When an automobile tries to knock a freight train off the track the pedestrian is tempted to chortle within his sleeve. We move that the New Yorker who is running an agency to dispose of titled foreigners to American heiresses be thrown into jail for peddling gold bricks. A church about to disband in New York has a membership worth about $750,000,000. The task of getting that treasure laid up in heaven seems to be a difficult one. A Philadelphia public man thinks the harem skirt will uplift the race. It seems to have more the tendency to upset it, as far as practical results can be relied on for judgment. A transatlantic iiner wnieh recently arrived in New York with a big cargo of Paris finery would have filled Diogenes with surprise and delight, for everybody on board was honest. “Daisy Cornucopja Pauline" is the name of the cow that has established a new world's record by producing 34% pounds of butter in seven days.

It might be worth while tc try it, anyway. Two dinosaur footprints won the finder’s way through college, and he has sold another pair for a fancy price. If it turns out that he has 6truck the 1 trail made by a dinosaur after a hard night there will be a new millionaire in Colorado: A Pennsylvania judge has decided that it is no part of a woman's household work to milk cows. But where was his consistency when he also decided that she might collect the eggs and feed the chickens? New York authorities threaten to place a ban on “cuss words" on the stage.

Can you imagine a respectable villyun muttering •’fudge" or “fiddlesticks?” A health lecturer arises people who wish to live long to eat sauerkraut, as it contains the longevity germ.

WOMANS INTERESTS

FOR THE BRIDESMAIDS EVERY OPPORTUNITY 18 GIVEN THEM TO, LOOK LOVELY. Bewitching Hats, Hair Banda, Beaded Capa and Jeweled Ornaments Are Prepared for Them by the Mlllinera. If ever there was a time when bridesmaids had better opportunities to look bewitching, than in this present season, no record has been preserved of it In song or story or on canvas. Consider the Jong beautiful lines of this summer’s gowns, revealing the youthful figure as it is; the supple and exqyislte materials with their the veiling of lace

and other fabrics with chiffon and the wonderful colors and embroideries! They make possible effects that are enticing, and pretty bridesmaids may well rejoice at their opportunities. But gown makers have not excelled the milliners, and hats are a fitting climax to the beauty of gowns. Besides hats, there are any number of hair bands, beaded caps, jeweled ornaments and quaint arrangements of the coiffure for those who prefer them. Little lace bonnets and short veils have been recently used by brides looking for the quaint and picturesque in the costuming of their maids. Our illustration shows a model which Gainsborough or any other art-

PLENTY OF CHEAP TRIMMINGS

Many Effective Varieties This Season Which a Woman Can Fix Up for Herself. Of inexpensive trimmings that a woman can manage for herself there is almost no end this season. The oldfashioned cross-stitch has entered the lists against the more elaborate embroideries. and has won a place of its own in its first season. It is effective, inexpensive and very easy, says the Delineator. You can work in bright colored wool on chiffon and other transparencies, or in ordinary embroidery floss on your cotton blouses. It works up in no time even in inexperienced hands, and it has ail the best houses in Paris to vouch for its good character from the fashion standpoint. It makes a very good looking trimming Tor the bottom of tunics and flounces, and for the edges of surplice waists and oversleeves. A wool cross-stitch answers the same purpose as bead embroidery, giving a little weight to sheer materials, and it costs even less than the porcelain beads.

Flowers for the Bride.

Made bouquets, the flowers used arranged in the most formal manner and set in a rim of lace, are far smarter for the bride than the loose clusters of flowers once carried. Several sorts of flowers are combined to give a feathery look to'the nosegay, ferns, lilies of the valley and gauzy ribbons combining with orchids and bride roses and other white flowers. The narrow ribbons, tied in charming butterfly knots, fall in showers from the bouquet, and with this lovely notion the posies are sometimes set in a, nest of gathered gause ribbon in a wider width. One exquisite bridal bouquet seen recently was massed in the., folds of an old lace handkerchief, whose yellowed border framed it in the needed edge of lace. The handkerchief was a family possession of course. Another heirloom, a shawl of Chinese crape magnificently embroidered, was used as a tunic over a plain satin dress, one corner of this covering the left shoulder of the boalce.

Good Starch.

Starch for a black lawn or organdie dress that will make it look like new and not show on the surface of the dress goods, can be made in this way: Take black die, dissolve as you would Tor coloring and keep it bottled. Make the starch quite thin, strain the dye and mix a little of It with the starch.

ist would certainly admire.- It is shaped so as to silhouette the face. It is of black Zagal faced with velvet. The brim lifts at the front and has a decided upward curve at the left revealing the coiffure of puffs and curls. A splendid color of ostrich in coral shades from pale to deep pink sweeps all about the hat. At the left a plume, in the same shades, provides just the requisite dash to the finish of this model. The shape is such that the entire profile-, including the neck and shoulder, stands out like a cameo. Thig is an example of the superb in millinery. But thanks to the latitude in faßhlonß, maids who may not indulge in such costly headwear may look as lovely in the jeweled Greek bands, the empire turbans or the Juliet caps made of beads. Then there are the garlands of flowers and the wreaths of blossoms made of ribbon with occasional spangles of little dew-drop jewels. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

Simple Bilk Frocks.

Particularly interesting are the little frocks of silk which are displayed in a great variety of models. One of these, seen 'ln one of the fashionable shops, was in a checked silk of a reddish mulberry tone, white and black, with a coat of black silk, whose huge revers and turnback cuffs were of the check. There was not a touch of elaboration. The straight skirt, moderately narrow at the bottom and finished with three deep, overlapping folds, was fulled slightly at the high waist line, the fullness being laid in little plaits around the sides and back. The tiny black coat was held in at the waistline by a shirred cord and the tiniest of frills fell below, rounding up to nothing at the middle front. A chemisette of net showed between the revers.

Girdles of Flowers Popular.

Girdles of flowers are coming into popularity. Isabel May of New York and Washington, who is tall, dark and slender, wore at a recent ball a dress of pale yellow filet net over yellow satin, and her belt was a double row of brilliant scarlet poppies in soft silk, with a tiny fringe of leaves. Belts of rosebuds with white gowns have made their appearance In London in bridesmaids’ pageants, and cow, in addition to the belt, certain glrlß have their dancing skirts adorned two inches or so above the hem with alternate clusters of rosebp&s and) leaves. They serve the double pur pose of adornment and of keeping diaphanous gowns in decorous trim during waltzes.

CASE FOR SHAVING PAPERS

Acceptable Present for a Man That Can Be Made Very Easily at Home. A case for shaving papers generally forms a very aceptable present for a man. and in our sketch may be seen a pretty type of this useful little article. It is designed for hanging upon the wall by the side of the dressing table and is of a diamond shape. For the

foundation a piece of stiff cardboard should be cut out in the required size and covered both back and front with some pretty remnant of silk. The pocket should next be arranged, and this should be made of the same 1 silk and lined with soft silk of some contrasting shade, and edged with a silk cord. The words “Shaving Paper” may be worked upon the front of it, or some pretty little floral design or initial may take their place. The edge of the case is also finished off with silk cord, and at each point smart little rosettes of ribbon are srvrn on. A drawing pin or small tack run'Through the case and into the wail Just under the top resette, where it will net be visible, will suffice tc fasten it in position. . The colors of the materials ctaosek for making the case should in a great measure be governed by the color of the wall-paper upon which it is to' hang, but made in palp green silk with dark green silk cord and rosettes of pale pink, it will look very pretty and harmonise with the color of mosi wall papers.

Churches and Tuberculosis.

Statistics showing how serious a problem tuberculosis is to the ordinary church congregation have been issued by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. From reports received from over 726 churches, with a membership of over 312,000 communicants of twenty denominations, and from 208 cities and towns in 12 states in various parts of the country, out of nearly 7,000 deaths in 1910, over 700 or 10 per cent., were caused by tuberculosis. This means 2.24 deaths for every thousand members or communicants. While the percentage of deaths from tuberculosis compared with other diseases is not higher in the churches, according to these figures, than in the country at large, the tuberculosis death rate, as shown by the church returns, is higher per thousand communicants than that for the general population in the registration area of the United States, which the census bureau gave as 1.67 in 1909.

Double-Edged.

The man whose daughter had Jußt been united to the husband of her choice looked a little sad. “I tell you, squire,” he said to one of the wedding guests, a man of his own age, and himself the father of a number of unmarried girls, “I tell you it is a solemn thing for us when our daughters marry and go away." The squire assented not altogether heartily. “I suppose it is,” he conceded, "hut I tell you it is more solemn when they don’t.” —Youth’s Companion.

A WIDOW’S LUCK Quit the Thing That Was Slowly Injuring Her.

A woman tells how coffee kept her from insuring her life: “I suffered for many years chiefly from trouble with my heart, with severe nervous headaches and neuralgia; but although incapacitated at times for my housework, I did not realize the gravity of my condition till I was rejected for life insurance, because, the examining physician said, my heart was so bad he could not pass me. “This distressed me very much, as I was a widow and had a child dependent upon me. It was to protect her future that I wanted to insure my life. “Fortunately for me, I happened to read an advertisement containing a testimonial from a man. who had been affected in the same way that I was with heart trouble, and who was benefited by leaving off coffee and using Poetum. I grasped at the hope this held out, and made the change at once. “My health began to improve immediately. The headaches and neuralgia disappeared,- I gained in flesh, and my appetite came back to me. Greatest of all, my heart was strengthened from the beginning, and Boon all the distressing symptoms passed away. No more waking up in the night with my heart trying to fly out of my mouth! “Then I again made application for life insurance, and had no trouble in passing the medical examination. “It was seven years ago that I began to use Postum and I am using it Btill, and shall continue to do so, as I find it a guarantee of good health.** Name given by Poetum Company, Battle Creek, Mich. “There’s a reason.” Read the big little book.

ANXIETY WAS FOR THE KEG

Overcharge a Small Matter, but Customer Did Hate to See Good Material Hurt. Every nail-keg In the store bad Its occupant, the checker-board was working overtime, and mittens and mufflers were stuffed in bulgy pockets, as their owners drew closer round the big, rusty stove. The door opened noisily, letting in a blast of the storm raging outside, and in its wake followed Rufe Blevins, a giant wood-chopper, whose good nature and ready wit made him a welcome addition to the store circle. The loafers moved a little closer together to make room for Rufe on a soap-box, but he marched past the friendly circle, plumped an empty molasses-keg down on the counter, and drew a stained bill from his pocket, which he held out to the proprietor of the store.' An expectant grin went round the circle, for Storekeeper Jones had the reputation of never wronging himself by overweighing or undercharging. The merchant adjusted his glasses and looked expectantly from the bill to the wood-chopper. “Notice you charged me for five gallons o’ molasses last time I had this four-gallon keg filled,” drawled Rufe. "I don’t mind payin’ for the extra gallon, Mr. Jones, but I do kinder hate to have a good keg strained to pieces.” —-Youth’s Companion. *

It Was Muffing.

“ 'Bugs’ Raymond, the handsome and brilliant pitcher At the New York Giants, is a great wit on the field,” said a sporting editor at the Pen and Pencil club in Philadelphia. “Raymond was tlisgusted one day at his team’s wretched outflelding. Batter after batter sent up high flies, and these easy balls were muffed alternately by left and cep ter. “Bugs at the sixth muff threw down his glove and stamped on it “ ‘There’s an epidemic in the outfield,’ he said, ‘but, by Jingo! it isn’t catching.’ ”
