WAITING. Serene, I fold my hands and wait. Nor care for winds, or tide, or ea; I rave no more 'gainst time or fate, For lo! my own shall come to me. I stay my haste, I make delays, For what avails this eager pace? I stand amid the eternal ways. And what is mine shall know my face. Asleep, awake, by night or day, The friends I seek are seeking pie; No wind can drive my bark astray, Nor change the tide of destiny. What matter if I stand alone? I wait with Joy the coming years; My heart shall reap where it has sown, ind garner up Its fruit of tears. The waters know their own and draw The brook that springs in yonder height;. So flows the good with equal law Unto the soul of pure delight. The stars come nightly to the sky; The tidal wave unto the sea; Nor time nor space nor deep nor high. Can keep my own away from me.

It will be a trial for the woman with the long, thin face, but if she would be in fashion as to coiffure, her hair must now be piled right up upon her head. The Parisian hairdressers lay the' origin of the fad to the fact that most women are doing away with the rats and puffs that have held sway for eo long, and as the hair

parted in the middle and brought severely down on the neck is so very trying, this new fad had become popular. The Parisian women now wave their hair in large waves, part it in the middle and coil it on top of the head well to the front, with the side hair waving softly over the ears. Even the very young girls of Paris are adopting this fashion, and it is very becoming to a bright, youthful face. The Parisian hairdressers also lay its sudden popularity to the fact that the hair can be arranged in this way without the use of false braids and switches, and one of the fada among the Parisian women just now is to appear witho f oiri.-oi v,,. out any of the artificial aids to beau ty that women often adopt.

Winnifred Harper Cooley is the national secretary of the Associated Clubs of Domestic Science. One of the interesting things in the exposition will be the display by the United States government, including a navy kitchen and an army camp kitchen. One display will be a huge transparent refrigerator, in which will be shown samples of bad meats heized by the United States Bureau of Animal Industry. A. D. Melvil, chief of the bureau, will tell house wives how to detect bad meats. VISITING HERE. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Linneman, of Lima, Ohio, are visiting with Mr. and Mrs. William Bayfield at their apartments in the Hotel Westcott. Laughter. Overindulgence in laughter is repro bated by Eraersou. Explosions of it. he says, should be under strict control, and he quotes approvingly the saying of Lord Chesterfield, "I am sure that since I had the use of my reason no bu man being has ever beard me laugh." But Emerson is not altogether consist ent in this matter, for. whereas in one passage be refers to laughter as a "contemptible squeal of joy," in another it becomes a "pleasant spasm." and he gratefully acknowledges "the rest and refreshment we get from the shaking of the sides." Moreover, h admits that "to see a man in a bigb wind run after his hat is always droll.'' Presumably if the man is bald and tin road is muddy even Chesterfield might be led to emit a contemptible squeal. London Chronicle. Invisible Dogs. The coat of a red setter normally stands out fairly clear against heath er of the ordinary hue. When, how ever, it gets soaked with rain it dark ens very much and blends very close ly with the heather. The Gordon set ters are perhaps the worst in this regard of assimilating with the color ot heather and so being liable to get n charge of shot. Country Life. His Practical Mind.

What Crime Has This Rich New Yorker and Patriotic American Committed in Marrying Miss Katherine Force? American Self Satisfaction.
BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. The agitation of many excellent people over the marriage of Colonel John Jacob Astor to Miss Madeline i , 7 " " tZ ,X VI "l"UD'"6- uv' dentally the Philadelphia clergyman ! who fumed and foamed in such outraged indignation got a thorough ad vertising and is now a candidate for hat an Theodore Roosevelt subject for a Chautauqua lecture. "A Good Thing For Me or how I worked up a Church Attendance." The truth is that nobody ever knew 'Colonel Astor wps such a bad man un til he started to get married again. He had always been looked upon as a more or less patriotic citizen having given his yacht and services to his government at the time of the Spanish-American war. His first wife, she of the beautiful white back, liberally displayed at King Edward's court, and who was recently cut dead by the highly moral Queen Mary in Rotten i Row, had social ambitions of her own land if they didn't get on, neither do j lots or other people. There are, after all, lots ot things just as reprehensible as divorce, which is not an entirely unmixed evil and, frequently, a very good thing. The entire suppression of divorce would lead to the decay of society. Since men are what they are and wom en are yet very far from having arriv- i ed at the millenium estate, you can't : yoke two people together for life and j expect things to always remain the ; same. Marriage is a more or less anomalous institution. It is the best thing so far evolved by the human creature for the perpetuation of the race, and thi3 is about the best that can be said for it. It is also, as it has been epigram-1 matically put, an anchor in the human sea. But there is, perhaps, something be-1 sides a duty to society. It is the duty j toward preserving the integrity of ! the individual. Were this to be ignored entirely, social anarchy would result just as surely as through a disregard of social and physical law. And what is worse than divorce in effect? Lying and slandering, and kicking ' a man when he's down, ingrattude, pretense, disloyalty and snobbery, hy- i pocrisy and cant. Not that this is saying that divorce is not a bad thing sometimes. The fact is that there is no moral attached to this diatribe. It Is a mere introduction to stating that since Colonel Astor is now safely married to the charming Miss Forces who, by the way, has been used disgracefully by the public, there being no crime, after all, in getting married his attention POST CARD COUPON Clip thi3 coupon and bring it to one of the Quigley Drug Stores, with 10 cents and receive one set of 25 colored view Post Cards of Richmond.

ri. n OF COLONEL ASTOR? should be called to one of the lovliest lyrics in the language, "To Madeline," written by the late James Newton Matthews, whose verse has recently been collected into a volume under the head of, "The Lute of Life," Dr. Matthews verse being notable for its exquisite similes, admirably illustrated in the following poem: TO MADELINE. "The stars that at my casement shine Pale in thine eyes, O Madeline, Thine eyes, within whose depths I see A light of love that lurest me To quest the seas beyond the line That separates thy soul from mine, " O Madeline! "Not any silks of Samarcand Are softer than thy snowy, hand; Not any lily-flower afloat Can mate the whiteness of thy throat, Nor any flosp, however fine, Compare with that brown hair of thine, O Madeline!

Very few people realize their own limitations. Most Americaus, however, are the victims of their own self-deception. Not content to merely understand and enjoy, they must attempt to execute. Hence all the horrors of the amateur musician. The monstrosities popularly, if somewhat vaguely, termed "art works," of the tyro, the more or less execrable short story served up monthly by our ten cent magazines and at often by these of higher grade. Oh, anybody can write! Just give them ink and paper "aplenty." Anybody can paint, just give 'em a brush and canvas. And its only for the lack of more pianos and violins that we haven't more Kugensteins and Pagininis. The attempt to do a good thing with an inadequate, if not wholly bad, result, can hardly tend to a higher plane of appreciation or intelligence. It is the mediocre exalted, through crude standards of what constitutes culture, that makes the alleged cultured society of this country ridiculous to the foreigners of supposedly the same class. And it is the complacence of the average American, his snug self satisfaction in belief of his ability to do anything to which ho may turn his attention, that contentment with superficiality, and a superficiality that is unconscious, that makes for the poverty of a true artistic atmosphere in this country. This may or may not be partially the result of certain phases ot our public school system. When Mr. Cotton, former State Superintendent of Public Instruction for Indiana, was in town a few weeks ago to deliver a series of lectures before the Teachers' Institute, he stated that the methods of examination now in vogue should be changed into those more consistent with the ends really sought to be achieved by the schools namely, an intelligent comprehension of the course of study culminating in the examination. As it is now, pupils work for grades.

Certain things are often required, f also, of "which the majority are entire- f ly incapable. In instance. In the various English departments of our schools and colleges, the students are on occasion, asked to write stories. Now the writing of a story, the sort' that would he required by the English I department in its alleged technical knowledge of the principles upon, which it is based, is one of the hard-' est things in the world to do. But the story has to be produced. How? Possibly by getting somebody else,' to write it. The student has, to have his grade. There is no alternative. The story Is I produced in some way. And he gets at grade and with it the reputation of do-' ing something he hasn't. . It is neither fair to the student, himf elf, to the system of education of1 which it is a part, nor to the public. It is a cheat all around. It is much the same way with the-, es. It is a common practice for stu-
j dents to get outside help on their the-? ses and to hand them in as their own.' But they have to hare a grade.

Last year we considered our open ing display and sale of the new season's dress goods, silks and trim-, mings for fall and winter of surpassing interest, but we confess that by comparison the present one belittles; all past efforts. And by that we mean that this 1911 showing excels in variety as well as the liberality of the price range which is an extremely broad one. The artistic designs, new weaves and beautiful colorings contribute to make this the best fall exhibit we have ever made.
