One Woman to Another...

i)

A friend of mine who has a knack of dressing surprisingly well on a small income had on a hat yesterday that struck my fancy. When I made a remark about its becomingness she laughed and said: "This hat cost me just one dollar." Then she explained that the frame, which was a panama shape in natural colored straw, came from Ayres also the silk which was the sole trimming. This silk, a pretty changeable good and brown, was gathered puff-like around the crown and was'used for facing the edge of the rim* The hat was one that was suitable for street, traveling or outiug wear it looked as if it felt comfortable. I made up my mind right then to have one similar, even if I did have to ask my friend's help in trimming it.

The injury of two children on the streets of Greenfield within a week by automobiles emphasizes the necessity of greater care. The obligation is not entirely upon the drivers of automobiles, but pedestrians must also be careful not to run directly in front of moving machines. There is not much danger of a person running in front of a wagon or buggy. The horses and vehicles make so much noise that a person is warned of danger, but the automobiles with their pneumatic rubber tires glide along so noislessly that they may be almost upon a person before they are heard. With the increasing number of machines, the people on streets and roads must be doubly careful to guard against accident. The rules governing travel on the highways must be more rigidly complied with. Everybody must keep on their own side of the road. The enforcement of that regulation ifa large cities by the police is very strict,

ftn}:

the more vehicles on

streets of cities, villages and the

country roads, and the more rapid the travel, the more important the compliance with the law in such places, becomes.

While the automobilist violates the law when he drives a machine on the public roads faster than 20 miles per hour or in the residence portion of a city at a rate of more than 15 miles per hour or in the business portion faster than 8 miles per hour, still he has the same right on the public highway that the drivers of vehicles have. There is no use in any attempt to make him "get off the earth." The only thing to do is for all to conform to the law. "Live and let live" should be the policy of all persons on the highway. To deny any one his legal right there would tend to license all to disregard the rights of others. Automobilists should respect the speed limits. In doing so they would allay the natural prejudice against automobiles. Drivers of all other vehicles should respect the legal rights of the automobilists. The two main points of contention and prejudice are, fast driving on the part of chauffeurs, and refusal to give half the road by other teamsters. One offense is just as objectionable as the other and the penalties are equal. It is a fine of not more than §50.00 in either case.

The lack of culture, polish and refinement in official position is often remarked by society people. Mayor Shank, of Indianapolis,does not come up to the standard of some of the fastidious elite, but if he makes a good faithful officer, he will have succeeded in the more important features of his administration. The late James Williams,—"Blue Jeans," was not an accomplished man, and the ridicule heaped upon him was a shame, still he made a faithful governor of Indiana, and looked after the affairs of the state to see that the money of the taxpayers was not wasted. Abraham Lincoln was awkward and plain, so much so indeed that he shocked social Washington by what they termed his coarseness, but his heart and head were right, even if his hands,feet and gait were ungainly. Officials who do their duty regardless of influences or criticism will have places in the hearts and memory of the people regardless of whether they are strictly fashionable and elegantly polite. The one is the real thing, the other is the superficial.

The ice man could easily find excuse to complain of the cool weather if it were not that he also sells eoal. As it is, his business is one that catches the customers "a comin' and a goin."
