The English mohairs are deal for warm weather wear, for they are
light, cool and shake the dust readily. This llttln mohair suit Is most
simply fashioned, but has great style and smartnoss. The Russian coat If
made In two portions and Joined under a leather belt; the lower portion be
ing in gored effect and fitting the hips smoothly. The long moire silk lapels
are particularly smart and there is a turnover collar of red silk with a touch
of gold to give dash and brightness. The sleeve, with its deep buttoned cuff, Is worthy of special mention.
"WOMAN who lives fn the country will find she can save a great
many pennies by regulating household
crash, ashes, etc. Trash, for instance, is an expense in the country, becausa the householder In a number of cases pays for having it carried away; therefore her economy comes In having inflammable stuff burned on th premises. And as dry trash is easily three-fourths of the refuse she saves Just that mnch on cartage. To hold trash there should be a barrel and a firm mandate issued by the head of the house that old tins, bottles and everything nonbumable be put in
to it. In another barrel papers, rags, itc, that usually fill the household crap basket must be plaoed.
One particular spot on the place
hould be reserved for the holocaust.

If there is none the rive may be used, for after the fire out the gravel may be raked over, o in a day or two all traces of the Are re obliterated. As for the ashes, unless they are ery coarse they make excellent walks n the country. It is best to have them ifted first, as some may be burned ater, thus reducing the coal bill. Those eft are cinders that wiU pack down ard and smooth and save buying xavel for walks and drives. In this .-ay a whole walk may be made ef shea with a thin top layer of gravel, his is a tip for persons building counry homes on limited incomes. They, s none others, know that the financial lemands of the grounds are endless, .nd this is one way in which money nay be saved. If one does not require ashes for the grounds there are Iways country roads in need of real r, where they may be put. Selectmen have' no objection to this. If th ashes are properly placed, and many a dollar may be saved.

A CHANGE OF MEETING. The meeting of the members of the art committee of the Hammond Woman's club which was announced to take place Tuesday afternoon of this week at the home of Mrs. W. C. Harrison, in Mason street, had to be postponed on account of illness at her home. The meeting will be held next Monday afternoon.
May 16, at the home of Mrs. Harrison and all the members xf the committee will be invited to attend as the meeting will be among the last of the year. BANS ARE Jl'BLISHED. The baris of the approaching marriage of Miss Mary Spencer and John Novicki were published for the first time yesterday at St. Andrew's Catholic church in
Are the- women of Hammond sav
ages? Do they delight in me wearing of feathers, stuffed bodies of dead
birds, gold and stones on their earsings, bracelets and necklaces? Have they a love for gaudy colors or do they wear their hair long, or still worse, arrange it in fantastic shapes, made even more fantastic by artificial means? Do they paint? If the foregoing questions are to be answered in the affirmative even the fair women of Hammond are savages, according to a statement made by Dr. Max Baff of Clark college, Worcester, Mass., and member of the American Medical society. Ahd this after Hammond had prided itself on being the oldest cost staid and civilized city in the Calumet
region.
But the charges of the eastern doctor
did not go unanswered in Hammond.
It was easy to find women in Hammond who are ready to argue the question in
telligently, too, despite the fact that
they are savages, according to Dr.
Baff.
Dr. BaflTs Statements. Dr. Baff has come forth witji a state
ment that there is but little to choose
between present day women and unclv
ilized beings from a psychological
standpoint.
"Man has outgrown his savage cus
toms of personal adornment with the
progress of civilisation," says Dr. Baff,
whereas woman has remained station-
ary if she has not actually retrograded.
"Woman delights in feathers, stuffed
bodies of dead birds, even to the barnyard fowls that lack aesthetic suggest
tion of the forests and bring to mind only the butcher shop. She hangs bits of gold and gleaming stones on, her
ears, wears rings, bracelets and necklaces. . Savages love of gaudy colos is another evidence of her lack of advancement. Then again, she wears her hair long, arranges it in fantastic

A sale of home bakery goods was
conducted by the members of the Ladies
Aid Society of the Monroe Street Metho
dist chapel last Saturday afternoon at George Dobbins store, the corner of Hohman and Russell streets. The ladies had prepared a large assortment of
fancy bakery goods and every article was disposed of. A nice sum was realized which will be used for the benefit of the church. All arrangements have not been made for th next sale although the ladles expet to hold
them regularly during the remainder of the season. A SfRPRISE PARTY. A very pleasant surprise party was given at the home of Mrs. Hauff at 307 Waltham street, in honor of her birthday anniversary. The afternoon was spent in games and music after which an elaborate three, course supper was served. The followiri-g guests were
and spent an enjoyable time with
games and contests. At the close of the afternoon dainty refreshments
were served.
face that is something that everybody
knows.
"These are the outer symbols of her
savagery, but the physical and psychol
ogical differences between men and women are marked. Color blindness Is
ARRIVES AT NEW HOME.
Friends in Hammond have received cards and letters from Rev. and Mrs.
f?. A. Helbere- and familv telling of young ladies of the Inter Se club to be

merly pastor of the Evangelical church I will also be other Invited guests for in ttast Sihlev street and left Hammond! the evening. Bridge, whist will be the
rare among savages. Like savages, too,
they are prone to' religious hysteria. Women are more, susceptible than men
as is the simple savage."
. Dr. Baff suggests remedies that
might transform women from savagery
to some semblance of civilization. He advises cutting their hair as men do,
and wearing less clothes.
Couiineat In Hammond. Mrs. Jeanle Sawyer, librarian and president of the Hammond Woman's
club, said after the article had been
read to her over the telephone: "The
man who made that statement is either
a Rip Van Winkle or he is looking for notoriety." Mrs. M. Rothschild, chairman of the art committee of the Hammond Wo
man's club, said: "I hope Dr. Bait will give us credit for wearing at least a little more than merely rings and
feathers. We have gained at least that
much on the savages, and while we may wear rings on our fingers, I know
or no Hammond woman that wears
bells on her toes."
Miss Alta Adklns, principal of the
Irving school, before commenting per
mitted herself a minute in which to laugh at the statements of the eastern
high-brow. "Dr. Baff's statements strikes me as funny," she said. "I agree with George Eliot, who said, j "God Almighty made the woman to match the man. " -
Mrs. Joseph Ibach recognized an old charge in the doctor's statement. , "If the women of today are savages, will Dr. Baff please tell us why they rear men who are civilized," she asked. "Of course, we would not take Dr. Baff seriously for a minute. Just the same, I think he is a little unjust when,he includes all the women in his statements." "Don't you know, I am inclined to think Dr. Baff is right insofar as the stuffed barnyard fowl is concerned, but, please, don't mention my name, I don't want all the women of Hammond after me?" said another woman. The preponderance of the evidence,
however, Is that Dr. Baft Is persona
non grata with the ladies of Ham
mond, and that he might as well cancel any engagements to speak here if he
contemplated any.
