PERT PARAGRAPHS. . YYTIEN a woman has to get out and hustle six (lavs in the week to keep a roof over her head it doesn't Cheer her Weary soul to be told that a woman’s place Is in the home. Man’s inhumanity to man often makes him able and willing to be a large subscriber to charity funds. We hope for the best, but that is as much as we are willing to do for It. A man’s idea of being care free is having somebody to run the furnace for him. - <’ . A woman’s idea of being care free Is not having to get up and get breakfast in the morning, . The rising bird man cops the altitude record. Few men are wise enough to let a woman have the last word without trying to beat her to it. A pretty girl has no need of brains Until she marries, and then she doesn’t know liow to use them. A man doesn’t like to be called a fool. For that reason it is best that some men should be nameless. When a man praises the dinner highly «hls wife wonders what he is trying to square himself for. The New Deal, The law of supply and demand We fear Is about to be canned. The law of combine Is more like a mine An<l has on our business The Indian sign. The rule of the era we must Acknowledge is here in the trust They gather us in. Our goods and our tin. Arid where we get off Is the , place they begin. We looked at them once with askance. But now we can see at a glance A far better way Such forces display. We might as well like them; They’re with us to stay. The age of the man all alone Is gone with the era of stone. The corporate hour ' , Is here in its power. No use to deny it Or go looking sour. Pray What could a single man do A continent cutting in two Or running a line - From seaboard to mine And shinning up mountains And down the decline? A fact in our lives and our purse. We take it for better or worse. We look to the law, ■" But always a flaw T That gives them a loophole Is all that we draw.

The Worry Cure. “He is very lazy ” “I know* hat will cure it.” “Goodness! Tell me.” “Just get him to worry and he will get over his laziness.” Slightly Mixed. “How are you getting along with your languages?” “The Greek is all Dutch to me.” “Aud the German?” “It’s all Greek.”

Mrs. Wm. Wagner visited Sunday with her sister, Mrs. August Woolbrandt and family. Charlie Longfellow of Hoopeston, 11l , visited with O. P. Wallace and family the past week. Miss Edna Wallace went to Woodland, Ill:, Monday where she will visit friends and relatives a few days, and then will go to Hoopeston, 111,, where she is engaged in factory work. It is reported around here that she will make her future home there. She is one of the most highly respected young ladies of this vicinity and we are sure she will be missed here.

CARD OF THANKS.

To the many neighbors and friends who assisted us in anjf way in the sickness and death of our beloved little one; we desire to extend our most heartfelt thanks.—-MR. AND MRS. CHAS. SOMMERS.

“I would advise women to make their own hats and let the ballot go." This was the pertinent answer given recently by the professor of millinery at the Teachers’ college, Xew York city, w hen asked for her views on the “votes for women" question. A professor of the art 'of bonnet making is a comparatively new chair in the college world, but that it. is a popular Course and a profitable one from the pupils* standpoint One has only to drop into the pleasant room where the students work from 9 to 12 three mornings in a week to be convinced of the fact that the highbrows are looking to their millinery laurels as well as to purely mental achieve ments.

The millinery course at- this institution is immensely popular for two reasons—first, because it is practical and meets everyday requirements and, second, on account of the charming personality of the instructor, Mrs. Evelyn Tobey, who is a Barnard graduate. The course, by the way, counts for as much as any of the elective studies in the College curriculum.

In the workroom there is an air of suppressed enthusiasm, an atmospheric feeling of everybody trying to do her best, and the ideal held up by Mrs. Tobey is a high one. “We never,” she said, “let go our efforts on even the most hopeless looking hat. We alter the shape and rearrange the trimming until the most critical member of the class pronounces a satisfactory verdict on the creation.” And the weekly class criticisms are dreaded by the pupil whose handiwork is the target for the aims of her sister workers. Taking a special course under the expert guidance of Mrs. Tobey arc* college girls, society matrons, staid housewives and pupils from fashionable finishing schools. The work starts in with the making of a real hat; designs are first made in paper and then carried out in fabrics. The first hat made is the simple street model, and next comes the dressy confection, i “Rather a good looking hat, is it not?” said the professor with pardonable pride, holding up for inspection a stunning picture hat. the recent work of an advanced pupil. It was a study in Gainsborough constructed "from royal blue satin covered with black malines and trimmed simply with plaited ruffles of cream colored lace banded with narrow lines of sable fur and a pale pink satin rose tucked lovingly at one side of the wide brim.

The Real Reason.; “W h y are there so many poor people?” “Because poverty isn’t expen sive, dear.”

But Mrs. Tobey considered the facing of the hat and the artistic manner of its manipulation the master touch of the creation. And not the least interesting of the many wonderful things done in the school is the making of frames from a willow fabric that is damped and pulled and clipped into condition over the wire foundation. Indeed, the material is molded and shaped mneh as the sculptor models his clay. Just before the holidays the girls were busily working on fabric neck and muff sets and lovely party bonnets. Work of this nature fills in the hiatns between winter and spring styles. Mrs. Tobey impresses npon her class that the study of millinery like most women’s work is never done. Each season brings its special needs in the basic laws of that the successful artist must accept or become that dreaded of all things—a sartorial back number. One of the girls pathetically remarked that she was surely becoming a one idea creature and that her dpminating thought was hats —every woman’s chapeau, from a Bowery travestry of the modes to a Fifth ■venue masterpiece, claimed her attention.

Marriage Maxima. Marriage for love is risky, but ltfa right Marriage Is either kill or cure.
