REMEMBER. I speak for all of the host of men who, once upon a time, Were freckled boys and wallowed then In pleasant dirt and brlme, And played at "nlba" or "robber chief," But especially of those Who used to smoke dried mullen leaf And blow It through the nose. Ah, now we all are grown, I gueBS, And some are gnarled and bent Rewarded, loo, with t?ome success By wordly measurement; Hut when the Muse has been Invoked And fancy (omon and goes. The day comes back when first we smoked And blew it through our nose. O, tell me not that you forget The day you touched It off, And swallowed hard and yet and yet You could but gag and cough Until your throat was burned and raw, v ,i And how your.heart uprose When, through your reddened eyes, you saw It spouting through your nose. And oftentimes our dads "gave tonguo" They all were tyrants bold Who quite forgot that they were younger Before they got so old! The while the strap fell hard and fast And angry writs arose, We had to smile to think at last We'd blown It through our nose! Wo'ro older now, and smoke and cuss, ' ' ' ' . And many have tho gout -The world has oft applauded us,' With reason, too, no doubt: And all of us have swelled with pride, But never, I suppose, As when we smoked the mullen, dried, .. And blowed It through our noBe! IS ENTERTAINING. Among the charming social events for today Is the afternoon party which Is being given' by Miss Eaxla Honey at her home in North, Ninth street as a courtesy to Miss Nettle Paulson who will be married this week to Mr. Eugene Boston. The wedding will be one of the Important social events of the ?ek's schedule. CALLED HERE.

Halsley of South Thirteenth street." - . ... . . MID-SUMMER AMUSEMENTS. Society has settled down to midsummer amusements, to which may.be added the parks which are always attractive at this time of the year. During the past two weeks there have been comparatively few parties. June was such a busy month with its many weddings that the respite comes at a JAP DOSE SOAP (TRANSPARENT) Ton need not use a laundry soap in your bath. The cost of Jap Rose, the perfect bath soap, is within your reach; the caUe is large. It is made from the purest vegetable oils, scented with 'the essence of natural flowers. ; Sold by dealer everywhere. REFUSE IMITATIONS. Look for the Jap Girl on every package. Y

good time. Porch parties from this on will probably gain in favor. Richmond women seem to be unusually fond of bridge. In most plates bridge has been put away as it were for the summer and the thimble party and informal

luncheon taking its place. Not so here though. Last week at several bridge parties the game was played at tables which were placed on the lawnB and verandas. Outdoor parties are delightful and are a happy change. There have been no musical affairs for several weeks. The Music Study club held a meeting last week to discuss and plan next year's work. OCCUPY WINCHESTER HOME. Mr. and Mrs. George M. Worley of North Fifteenth street will occupy the home of Mrs. Winchester, corner North Eleventh and A street, while Mrs. Winchester and daughter are at Clifton Springs, New York. NO DINNER9. There will be no dinner parties given this week at the Country club. FOR DETROIT. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Leroy Tebbs, of Oakwood left Thursday morning for Detroit, and will then go to Niagara Falls and Toronto, following which they will go to the Schuler camp in the Hudson Hay district, joining Mr. and Mrs. Sergei Klilbansky of New York City at Buffalo. Mr. and Mrs. Will Sunderland will occupy the Tebbs home In Oakwood until their return which will be some time in September. Dayton News. FOR DETROIT. Miss Hilda Sleweke will leave for Detroit, Michigan, where Bhe will spend her vacation the guest of her brothers. TO HAVE PICNIC. The members of the. Penny club will hold a picnic Wednesday afternoon of this week at the home of Mrs. McDlvltt in West Richmond. All members are asked to attend as the afternoon promises to be most enjoyable. RETURNED HOME. Mr. and Mrs. Sharkey and children returned Sunday to their home in Terre Haute after a visit here with relatives. They were called here by the Illness and death of Mrs. Rose Sharkey. t'r. FOR VACATION. Mr. and Mrs. Warren Lacey and children have gont to Milton, Indiana, where they will spend their vacation on a farm near that place. PICNIC AT GLEN. The annual Sunday school picnic of the First English Lutheran church. will be held Tuesday afternoon in the Chautauqua grounds at Glen Miller park. All members of the Sunday school and church are most cordially Invited to attend. NO DANCING PARTIES. No dancing parties have been sche duled so far for the week and this is just a little unusual as so many affairs of this kind have been given in the pavilion at Jackson park since the opening of this popular place. However the society editor is hoping that later on several dances may be given. Friday evening of this week the usual dance at Cedar Springs hotel will be held. WAS IN ROCHESTER. Mr. Clarence B. Green, of the Day ton Herald, formerly a reporter on the Evening Item, has been in Rochester, New York, where he attended a con vention of the Masons. He also visit ed in -Detroit, Michigan. He has a host of friends here. ALU DAY PARTY. The members of the Tuesday Bridge club, one of the most popular social or ganizations of the city, have arranged for an all-day party to be held Tues day at the home of Mrs. W. R. Poundstone in South Thirteenth street. The affair will be in the nature of a picnic party. Lunch wll be served at midday. The time will be spent playing bridge. FOR MILWAUKEE. H. F. Pardieck left for Milwaukee this morning to attend the annual meeting of the Agents association of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance company. NEAR FOUNTAIN CITY. Miss Nora Holthouse, Miss Myrtle Stone, Dr. Frank Dunham and Mr. Frank Powell spent Sunday at the home of Mr. Bedford Stone, near Fountain City. HOSTESSES CAN ENTERTAIN. If the weather continues as cool as today their isn't any reason why hostesses should not entertain this week. There are more people in town than one woxild imagine at this time of the season. A number of people are waiting until August to leave for their summer outing. People who stay at home enjoy a god time as much as anyone ense. A PERPETUAL GROUCH. I know of a man who is really what one might say a perpetual grouch. Grouching, grouching, grouching is all he does from morning until night. First the weather is too hot and then its too cold. His family are never doing things right. First this one does this thing and then that one. But the worst part of it all is that the wife gets the blame for everything. If the milk man doesn't leave enough milk so that he can have some for supper, why of course his wife is to blame. Really she is afraid to see him come home. When he meets people on the street be stretches bis face into a funny sort of grimace which does not

in the least resemble a smile. He couldn't smile. He's out of practice. I wonder if he would really be missed If he should leave town. But of course he would. One would miss the "grouch."

INDIANAPOLIS SOCIETY. The social calendar for the week was made up exclusively of Informal morning affairs. The families who own lake cottages have all taken possession of them and a goodly number are occupying bungalows at mountain resorts. Automobile parties are becoming more and more popular and many Indianapolis people motor to Maxinkuckee or Lake Wawasee for the weekend or take ling cross-country trips. It is then that the tireless cooker and thermos bottle play important roles, and have become almost indispensible to the tourist. Can one imagine any greater luxury than to camp out in the woods beside a stream, with a spring chicken a la Maryland steaming hot and ice tea at the right temperature? Bridge has given way to the thimble party, which at present is the most popular diversion. For the shops are showing such exquisite linens and danty embroidery novelties in the way of lingerie, bags, belts, dainty little aprons and the ever popular voile waist, that many embroidery coteries have been formed which seem to be mutual benefit associations, for the hidden mysteries of the various intricate stitches. As one young woman a few days ago remarked to a friend who is an expert needle woman, "If you will show me how to make the ladder stitch on my lingerie waist, why I'll be only too happy to teach you how to crochet those adorable belts and bags wlhch all the girls are making now." Speaking of crochet belts and bags, have you seen them? When you do, you will surely wish to possess them, for they add much to the summer girl's wardrobe, and Borne of them are of the quaintest designs, much like the ones of our grandmother's day. One of the fall brides-to-be conceived the clever idea of a "Hemming Party" and invited a number of her friends one morning last week to bring their thimbles and spend the morning in the garden. Each guest was supplied upon her arrival with a napkin or some other piece of household linen, which was to be hemmed. The party sat under the trees, and one member read aloud one of the six "best sellers." Luncheon was served under the trees and the morning proved such a success that hemming parties promise to be quite the thing. SHIRTWAIST DANCE. The young people who attend the dance to be given by the members of the Phi Delta Kappa fraternity, Tuesday evening, July eighteenth at the Commercial club hall will have a chance to lay. aside their "dressed-up clothes," as the affair Is to be a shirtwaist dance. Extensive preparations are being made by the committee in charge. . Over two hundred invitations have been issued, and a number of out-of-town persons will be present. Beautiful summer flowers will be used profusely in the decorations. The programs are something entirely new and very unique. Maggart and Gessler will furnish the music for the dancing. Marion News-Tribune. OF INTEREST. The following from the New York Letter to the Indianapolis Star will interest artists here : The Fine Arts prize of $500 was awarded to William Forsyth for a group of four landscapes, in which he is faithful to the chosen problem, of the Hoosler group of painters, the study of light. Seen through their eyes, the solid forms of nature are largely masked, and the pleasure of the observer is derived from the dazzle of the sun on shifting foliage or broken water, or from distance made more faint by veils of mist. The landscapes of Mr. Steele and Mr. Adams show their kinship as fellow members of this Hoosier group." FAREWELL PARTY. Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Butler will give a farewell party this evening at their home in South Eleventh street as a courtesy to Mr. and Mrs. Shwb of Canton. Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Shawb will leave tomorrow in their automobile for Michigan where they will join a camping party at Blue Lake, Michigan. In the party are about fifty men. Mr. Shawb is charter member of the club. From there they will go to their home in Canton. MUNCIE VOICES. Laura A. Smith in writing to the Indianapolis Star from New York has the following to say concerning Muncie voices: Is there anything particular about the climate of Muncie that tends to develop grand opera voices? Is noise in the streets of Muncie so fierce that men needs must shriek above its clamor and thus develop voices with the carrying power which a grand opera voice must have? There is Orville Harold, known in operatic circles and hailing from Muncie. There is another Muncie young man here laying a splendid, sure foundation for an operatic career. This is Edwin Swain, who expects to complete a three or four years course of WEAR OUR Torie Lenses they give comfort to ycur eyes. See that curve. MISSC.M.SWEITZER OPTOMETRIST, 7 9Z7yx Main Street.

hard study under Victor Harris and to sing in concert and oratorio, studying the great operas the while, until he can take his place among American grand opera singers. Just now Mr. Swain is the barytone soloist at the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church In Brooklyn. Other members of the quartet in this choir are Miss Elizabeth Tudor, soprano: Mrs. Mary Jordan, contralto, , and Thomas Phillips, tenor. There is a Ine

chorus, numbering thirty-two paid singers. Most of the singers and the congregation are on their vacation, but Mr. Swain holds his ground and is precentor. Later he wUl go on a vacatio nto Martha's Vineyard and Edgartown, where he will give a concert. NEWSPAPER MAN TO WED. The following dispatch from Hartford City will interest Newspaper people here: Announcement was received here today by Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Kinsley of the engagement of their son, Guy Kinsley, to Miss Elsie Berquest of Spokane, Wash, where Mr. Kinsley is dramatic editor on the Spokesman-Review. The bridegroom-to-be is a well known young newspaper man. He was manager of the Glee club and editor of the College Annual at DePauw university, from which school he graduated three years ago. His father is a revenue collector in the office of Elam Neal at Indianapolis. MOTORED TO CINCINNATI. Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Keplinger of North D street, with their guests, Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Shawb of Canton, Ohio, motored to Cincinnati, Ohio, yesterday where' they spent the day. TO CHICAGO. Mrs. Elisabeth Hibberd with her guest. Miss Laws of Cincinnati, have gone to Chicago where they will visit with Mr. Frank Laws. HELD PICNIC HERE. The members of the Tri Kappa sorority will go to Richmond Sunday afternoon for a visit with Miss Ruth Barnard and Georgia Cloud at Earlham college. In the evening the young ladies will enjoy a picnic supper at Glen Miller. A guest at the picniCwill.be Miss Allpe Booth of Bloomington, Ind. New Castle Courier. WERE IN INDIANAPOLIS. Miss Shirley Hawley of Liberty, Miss Gladys Weiss of Richmond and Miss Jama Crlng of Muncie, who spent a week with Miss Leita Chapin, have returned home. Indianapolis Star. SPENT SUNDAY HERE. Mr. Orbra Decker, of Dayton, Ohio, spent over Sunday here visiting with relatives and friends. THOUGHTFUL BOOK. A thoughtful book touching on the questions of the day has just been .published. It is entitled "Christianity and Social Questions," and is by W. Cunningham. It is a small volume, one of a series but complete in itself. It is full of good suggestions for both the individual and the state. Some of these are not a little startling at first glance; for Instance, that the cultiva tion and practice of self control tends to make inoperative the doctrine of Malthus by deferring marriage. That is true, no doubt, but will hardly meet with the favor of young people; while yet it is coming about automatically. The doctrine of Locke, too. that in a state of nature man enjoys complete liberty and subordination are essential to man's progress and securi ty and permanent welfare. And slav ery is said to tend to degrade both master and slave, because, for one reason, racial distinctions are persis tent which statement may, however, be doubted. Whether amalgamation is desirable or not it is in progress all over the earth. And as the tone of mortality of a race is cenceded to have much to do with its virility and economic forces conduce to the plac ing of races of men upon a level, argu ments in favor of legitimate amalgamation are not without force, since in some sort it can not be cut out. Racial pride is a menace to the proud race and also to the despised one. For all

FADS AND FASHIONS Thin muslins, etc., are not very practical morning or afternoon frocks for the shore, though of course they are much worn. The cotton etamines and voiles, utterly devoid of stiffening, keep their freshness better than linens, batistes and other materials of similar character, but of course if one does not mind pressing the latter out after each wearing, they may be made to give excellent service. The trig little coats known as top coats are smarter than ever this season. They have lost that unsightly, skimpy air that they bore last autumn and are cut on entirely different lines, many having the fronts cross each other, and while there is no waste of material, the effect is far less confining and there is a bit of fullness in the back introduced through a narrow plait. Sometimes the plait is arranged in the form of a floating panel similar to that seen on skirts and gowns; then again the entire skirt of the coat will be fulled onto a short waist, giving it a decided empire effect. Such garments are made of silkserge, mohair, pongee, shantung and heavy linen. Big buttons add much to the finished garment regardless of the material from which it is cut. The idea of wearing shapely collars of black hemstitched chiffon cloth is attractive. The collars are put on white blouses, on light colored marquisette gowns, on black frocks when they are overlaid with a shallow collar of white Irish lace or white chiffon cloth, also hemstitched. These collars are not always in strict sailor shape. They vary considerably. The points may run out to the sleeves and the back and front, cut off in straight lines. Again, the collar may be as deep as a bib in the back and sharpened off to points In front. One can buy them in the shops, but it is better to get the hemstitched material by the yard and cut them according to the desire of the wearer. Lingerie coats for children are made of dotted swiss over pale rose or blue china silk. These, with the lovely lingerie hats shown in the best shops, make cool, attractive costumes for the little ones. For slippers, soft little crushed rosettes of tulle or chiffon, in some instances sprinkled with crystal beads to resemble dew, are exceedingly pretty, as are buckles of pearl or colored beads. Florence Fairbanks. Pumice Stone. Pnmlce U an acid volcanic rock, which may be iu either massive or finely comminuted form. It owes Its peculiar porous, vesicular or pumiceous condition to the rapid expansion of included moisture or gaaes, due to sudden release of pressure at the time of its ejection from the volcano. This expansion may be carried to such an extent that the rock is completely shattered, and the resultant finely powdered material may be carried to unknown distances by wind and air currents and then deposited In beds several feet thick.

KEPT HER BUSY. The Wa She Tried to Discover the Telephone Numbers. I don't believe that the puolle schools teach their graduates to us" their minds," remarked a well known citizen of Philadelphia the other day. "Here's a story just to illustrate wha I meaa: "I got a secretary last summer who had just been graduated with high honors from the Commercial high school. She had been picked out fot me as the best girl in her class, and 1 found ber excellent in all that required methodical, parrot -like work. "One day I jotted down some telephone numbers that I wanted to re member and, having a poor memory, forgot in the course of the morning whose the numbers were or what the business was upon which I wanted to phone. "So 1 called Miss Blank just as I was going out and said. 'Before you get jour luncheon I wish you'd find out for me whose those telephone numbers are.' "Two hours later I came back, and Miss Blank was sitting at her desk.

weary and perseverlngly studying the telephone book. "I asked her if she had got some letters written that I had left, if she had lunchod, if she had done several little thing. She said no and then explained: " You see, it takes me a long time to read through the book till I come to the numbers you want, she said. '1 haven't bad time to do anything elseT ' Philadelphia Times. Marble. Maibles got their name from the fact that originally little bits of marble were rollcdi down the hills and rounded and pounded by other stones until they became toys for the children to play with. It is said that the Dutch exported them to England. Whether they did or not makes little difference to the boys and girls of today. No matter who introduced the world to marbles as toys, they art with us and always will be. Some of you get them from other children, some of you trade postage stamps for them, but some persons originally bought them from the little store around the corner, whose owner got them from the greatest toyshop in the worldGermany. In the beginning marbles were called "bowls," and men and wo men played with them as well as children. Dundee Advertiser. Necessity, my friend, is the mother of courage, as of invention.

PALESTINE Many Way In Which It Strikingly Resembles California. - Palestine is more like the state of California than any other in the Union, in everything except size. It lies between longitude 34 degrees SO minute and 3 degrees SO minutes east and between latitude SO degree 80 minutes and S3 degrees 45 minutes north. . It Is practically a California reduced to about one-twentletb. In size,' but markedly similar in general topography, climate, vegetation and agricultural and economic possibilities. Like California, Palestine is longest from north to south. like California, too, it has both very high mountains, having an elevation of 9,000 to feet, and very deep depressions. The Dead sea, 1.200 feet below sea level, is the greatest depression known, and, like the Death valley of California, it is situated in the southern extremity of tho country. In Palestine, just as in California, we have a dry, warm season and a humUl a'nd more temperate one. The rainy season extends from October to Slay and the dry season from May to Oc

tober. Palestine Is even more favored than California with regard to the winter temperature. Although the thermometer rises as high in summer in l'alcstine as in California, with extremes of 110 degrees to 115 degrees F., though not so often, it very rarely drops in the winter to the freezing point. Snow is rare, even on the plateaus, and our farmers are practically safe from any damage by frost over nearly the entire extent of the country.
