may be la other thlnga. this little oour- -
teay he absolutely refuses to extend. !
He will do anythcg to get out of It,

those women who contend that men are :
mere se’.flsh In little things than wo- !
men and more unselfish e hen It comes i
to big things are right; and IMs Is Just ;
one of the little things, netting up and !
rinsing a window that has been open j
all night Is a very little thing ordina
rily. but when the nights ore nipping,
as tb-y are In winter, the mole
hill grows Into quit# a mountain Wo
men accept the situation amtobly, how
ever. and have devised a special gar
ment for the occasion. It la colled the
saut-du-lit. or Jump-out-of-bed,eiKi e*<i
he put on In a Jiffy. The moat desirable
Hnd la made of dnublefaee elder-down
flannel cr soft French flannel. The
garment la cut with two straight seams
under the arms and hangs In a double
box plall from the neck behind. The
ample fronts fold widely about one.ar.d
a broad shawl collar rolls back down
the entire front. Wide Japanese sleeves
are more effective, but bishop sleeves,
big enough to slip on easily and gath
eicd closely at the wrist, are far warm
er.
The Jumpout-of-bed hr.s possibilities
of great artistic beauty if becoming,
contrasting colors are selected, end If
the edges are piped with plaited rib
bon cr silk cord and a silk rope run
through ribbon loops Is knotted about
the waist. Jumping up and clor'mg the
window becomes a real pleanur- to a
woman, even on a atinging morning, If
she possesses ore of these robes. One
worron says:
‘■f first heard of a saut-du-llt when t
was in Paris last fall. For the first
three years of my married life my hus
band and I quarreled about who should
close the window, and I EUrporo we
would have gene on, like the brook,
frrever If I hadn’t run up on this gar
ment. Tcu see, it Is so easy to hop Into.
I put It on the foot of the bed at night
with my Piece-lined mules and get into
them before you could say caterpillar.
And what do you think? My chest has
expanded one inch and a half since I
got this garment. Why? Because I can
go from the worm bed to the open win
dow, no matter If the mercury is co
quetting with zero, and stand there in
perfect comfort long enough to expand
my cheat and take twenty-five long
bieat’-n of fresh air. This I do every
morning. -> id I feel like a new woman.
Every married woman has to shut the
window, and of course every unmarried
one docs so. I. for one, recommend the
Jump-out-of-bed td all womankind.
This garment can lie bought ready
made, or Is easily made at home.

WAYNESBORO.
What la doing on Down on the
Central.
[Special to The Herald ]
Waynesboro, July 16. The clouds
have reigned supreme this week and
everything has bowed before them
even that little penetrating and seduc
tive thing known as "news'' baa been
laid low with apparently not a spark
of life left in it. The crops, which the
weather, be It rain or sunshine, ever
and anon brings so the from, Is the
absorbing thought and topic of con
vematrnn, with the men, at least; and
well It may be. for the welfare of this
land of ours depends upon the growth
of de cotton and de corn. The rain of
this week hat worked a world of good
to the planters in this community. It
has put new life Into the crops, and
the corn especially, which, with a few
exception*, la in a flourishing eondi
j tion. Not only are these products of
the soil taking advantage of the re
-1 freshing rains and sending their heads
I up higher, but the grass Is keeping pace
, wiih them and only the steady strokes
I of the hand of labor will keep it from
crowding king cotton out.
i The Children's service which was
'postponed frrtm last Sunday afternoon,
on aeount of the inclemency of the
weather, was held at the Baptist church
jen Wednesday evening.
Among the Daughters of the Confed
eracy of this place who will be In At
! lanta In attendance cn the veterans' re-
I union, are; Miss Lewis Godbee, Mrs.
jH. H. McMastcr, Miss Belle Cox and
. Misa Corinne Dickinson.
The Woman's Missionary society held
!a inctno.ial service at the Methodist
' church Thursday evening to Mrs. W.
A. Wilkins and Mrs. Jam"« H. Wbite
head, t’.vo of its most faithful mem
bers r,;ho have recently passed away.
Miss Jurfa Miller will spend the rest
of he summer at Saluda.
A pleasant party eomnrlslng Major

COLUMBIA'S ENTERPRISE.
New Water Works and Sewage
System
Columbia, 8. 0., July I*.—At a spe
cial meeting of the city council called
together Wednesday night for Ihe
purpose of devising some means
for relieving the residents of East Ger
vals street from a deplorable lack of
water supply Bntl pressure. City Engi
neer Wilson sprung a delightful sur
prise In the shape of a schema that
aeemed at onoe both feasible and prac
ticable, an entlerly new and up-to-date
system of water supply and n general
adequate system of sewerage.
The council listened to Mr. Wilson's
scheme with close attention and when
he had finished elaborating the plan
they voted him their thanks and
pledged him a thorough and Immedinte
Investigation of his suggestion by a
unanimous rising vote.
In his earnest talk to council Mr.
Wilson bpgan by pointing out the se
rious defects in the present water hup
lily and emphasizing the need for the
benefit to the general health u good
system of sewerage.
As to the new writer system, It was
only a question of time when a r.pw
water plant would bp absolutely neces
sary and as to sewerage the town
would never grow or develop without a
good general system. The maximum
practical capacity of the present water
plant was only 1,750,000 gallons a day,
which was totally Inadequate to meet
the increasing demands, and the
pumps were In very had condition arid
might at any time be overflowed and
rendered useless by a freshet. If the
river rose within five foot of the limit
reached In 1888 such a result would he
brought about, leaving the city with
out a drop of Water.
CERVERA’S HEN.
Families of Spanish Sailors (Taking
inquiry.
Washington, July 16. M. Thiebaut,
secretary of thp French embassy, call
ed at the state department yesterday to
make inquiry as to some of the dead
and wounded Spanish sailors of Admi
ral Cerveva’s squadron. The families
of the Spanish sailors are deeply agi
tated, as no exact list of the saved,
dead and wounded has reached Spain
thus far.
The relatives and friends of the sea
men are besieging the Spanish authori
ties, and the inquiries are in turn made
through the French authorities here,
who with the Austrian officials have
charge of Spanish interest. The au
thorities here are giving every possible
facility to the relatives and friends of
the Spanish seamen, and, in addition
to furnishing identification lists, fa
cilities will be given by which the
friends of the sailors can send them
money and supplies.

AN OPINION.
“Do you thlnlt there is any likelihood
that the Spaniards will sue for peace
in the near future?’*
“No; they can’t sue. They'd have to
hire a lawyer if they did that, and no
lawyer Is going to take a case unless
he thinks there is a chance to get hig
money.”-—Cleveland Leader.
