Emily Post in Everybody’s Magazine.
Two hundred and sixty dollars were
paid this season for a hat. I know this
to be true, because I saw the hat and
the woman who bought it, and I was
told the price. What was it? A hand
ful of straw, a wisp of tulle, and a
spray of feather. Two hundred and
sixty dollars!
Of course this is not an average price,
even among the rich. But the aver
ages, as well as the single instances of
extravagance, are startling.
Fifteen years ago $25—$30 at the out
ride—would have bought the most elab
orate bonnet in the most expensive
shopping center of the world—New
York. To-day the Fifth avenue shops
are asking $30 for the plainest domes
tic toque or shade hat, and have shelves
full of French importations at prices
ranging from $100 to $176. The $10
“trimmed” sailor that used to be worn
with serge dresses; the mull hats cost
ing $5; the big rough garden hats at
about the same price; the leghorns
that used to run as high as $15,
have been replaced by $30 round hats,
$50 picture hats, $50 lingerie hats and
hand-made straws running into three
numerals.
The effect upon women extravagant
ly inclined of the constant repetition of
these exorbitant prices is inevitably de
moralizing. One goes into a hat shop,
for instance, asking for something in
black straw that one may put right on.
A saleswoman in clinging black With
bejeweled fingers languidly lifts down
from a mirrored case a quite unpreten
tious little hat.
“This one,” she says—as though it
were too trifling to waste time over—
"you may have for $40; or this one—of
course, it is rather smart—$50.
One then protests that one wants an
ordinary little hat.
With a manner of indescribable com
passion the saleswoman then holds at
arm’s length an obvious pariah for $25,
drops it as soon as possible, and ca
resses a very smart imported model.
“This is only $150,” she tells you—she
is confidentially ingratiating now. “It
may, of course, seem expensive to one
not versed in modern millinery, but the
feathers are made of three hundred
separate pieces, the roses are colored
by hand, and the straw is of a kind
woven only by a certain great French
house,” and so on.
And presently the $25 domestic hat
looks rather poor and plain beside the
foreign importation—a few of which
are, considering their beauty, quite
reasonable.
At the dressmakers’ the advance is
quite the same, and one repeats the in
sidiously corrupting experience. Dresses
that were once sold for $160 now sell at
sums from $225 up to double that
amount. Women hear $250 so common
ly quoted for afternoon dresses, tea
gowns, cloth costumes and house
dresses, that many who ought not to
pay over $50 for their best frocks come
to think $125 for a muslin or foulard
distinctly cheap.
In no country do women spend so
much money on their personal adorn
ment as in America. The American
woman is clothes mad. Not only does
she wear more expensive clothes and
jewels than women of other countries,
but she wears a far greater variety,
and her taste for elaborateness amounts
to a craze. Nowhere in the world does
one see this same over-elaborate dress
ing save among the declasse women
abroad—at Trouville, Ostend, or some
such watering place. Throughout Eu
rope the women of high nobility and
social position are like wrens compared
with these cockatoos of the half-world.
It is an unpleasant thought that it is
the latter who set the standard which
our fashionable women follow with
naive avidity.
For, though we have gradually be
come used to the exaggeration of re
garding American women as queens
and princesses, we have forgotten that
the husbands are not all kings and
princes—of finance. The result is that
our women, each striving to look as if
she were the wife or the daughter of
royalty, are driving decent, practical
husbands and fathers into frantic,
heartbreaking methods in their at
tempts to maintain a purely fictitious
position.
Steadily the struggle to be well
dressed sharpens. Steadily, as prices
rise, the standard for clothes rises with
them. On every side one hears the
same cry. “What are we to do about
clothes?” “I don’t see how I am to get
any at all this year!” "Everything is
twice as expensive.” “The fashions
have changed, and I look like a dowd!”
Then, one more brave and independent,
says, “I don’t care; I can’t afford new
clothes; I have several dresses that
have scarcely been worn; surely they
will be all right. ” Whereupon, she of
good resolutions goes out to a luncheon
or a country club, or the horse show,
or into some other concourse of
people, and awakens to the fact that
her dress looks skimpy and her hat
queer. (Why do last year’s hats always
look queer?) And there i3 nothing that
makes a person so self-conscious as the
sense of being frumpily dressed. She
struggles, first vigorously, then weak
ly, and at last succumbs, buying new
clothes at prices that she can in no way
afford to pay. In utter discouragement
a woman of moderate means concludes
that she must either pay more than she
ought, or line up with the frumps.
That is pretty near the situation as it
looks to her ambitious eyes at present,
and she who has always been well-
dressed, she who has been used to per
fectly appointed things, finds it hard
to haul down the flag and give up the
struggle.
It is not that women ten years ago
used to wear the same clothes for many
seasons, but that clothes used to be
cheaper and bills more easily paid. The
trouble is that with too many women to
day the new season comes and goes
with last season’s clothes not yet paid
for. To get new ones, therefore, can
only take a woman more deeply into
debt, and she gets into the undermining
habit of paying a little “on account”
and charging a good deal more, so that
while she is continually paying more
than she can afford, her bills steadily
increase. Finally, in order to pay the
bills, the husband is made to draw upon
every available resource.
Campaign in the Bloody Tenth.
Mncon Telegraph.
The campaign in the Tenth district
for Congress presents some interesting
aspects, although the issues are largely
personal.
A defeat for Eve or Evans would
not seriously cripple either man for the
^future, but the facts hang around the
two men—Watson and Hardwick. The
triumph of the latter would establish
him not only as a force in the district
but in Georgia, because he would tri
umph over the man who is credited
with having put him in Congress and
kept him there. His defeat would for
ever eliminate him, because in that
case it would be made to appear that
he was really and only Watson’s man.
He will become his own man, independ
ent of Watson and in spite of Watson,
if he triumphs. And in case of his tri
umph Watson would lose seriously in
prestige and influence. Therefore, we
say that Hardwick and Watson have
more at stake than Eve or Evans. It
is a fight between Hardwick and Wat
son, the latter of course not being a
candidate.
It has been charged that Watson is
losing his personal strength before the
people. The result of this contest will
make or unmake the truth of the
charge, and it will therefore be
watched by his friends and his foes
We shall not bo surprised to see him
take the stump before it is over, par
ticularly if his friend, Charlie Mc
Gregor, enters the race, as now seems
probable.
It is the fight of Hardwick’s life.
Watson, too, nas much at stake, since
he has publicly and completely repudia
ted his former friend.
The bloody Tenth promises to become
the center of political activity in the
State this year.
GOOD NEWS.
Many Newnan Readers Have Heard
It and Profited Thereby,
“Good News travels fast,” and the
thousands of bad back sufferers in New
nan are glad to learn that prompt relief
is within their reach. Many a lame,
weak and aching back is baa no more,
thanks to Doan’s Kidney Pills. Our
citizens are telling the good news of
their experience with the Old Quaker
Remedy. Here is an example worth
reading:
W. D. Hill, 61 Murray street, New
nan, Ga., says : “Some years ago I re
ceived a severe fall, anti, as a result,
my kidneys became affected. After
that I was a constant sufferer from
backache, the pains sometimes extend
ing into my Bhoulders, and even as far
as my neck. When I procured Doan’s
Kidney Pills at Lee Bros’, drug store
I was in quite a serious condition, and
placed all niy hopes in their bringing
me relief. I was not disappointed, for,
after a short use, they entirely cured
me. I have not had the least sign of
kidney trouble since, and I willingly
give Doan’s Kidney Pills my indorse
ment.”

The Neglect of Home Life.
Rev. Madison C. Potent.
The daily cost of crime committed in
this country amounts to $3,500,000, or
the astonishing total of $1,277,000,000 a
year—a sum that would pay the total
national debt in two years.
Two hundred persons are done to
death by violence every week, making
10,000 murders every year, a number
equal to the army which,Cyrus led over
the plains of Persia into Central Asia,
the march of which Xonophen chroni
cles “The Anabasis.”
In Chicago alone there are 120 mur
ders a year. In London, with four
times the population, there are but 20
murders; while Paris, .supposed to be
the modern Babylon, records but 16.
Crime is on the increase in this coun
try. Even little girls and boys engage
in hold-ups. In Philadelphia one per
son is arrested out of every 17 in the
population. New York can boast of
200,000 arrests a year.
We boast of our laws and institutions.
The artist depicts our progress on can
vas, while the orator proclaims it from
a thousand platforms.
You may lay the blame on the negro
and the immigrant, hut the native
white American don’t seem to be much
better. Here are the nationalities of
homicides: Native white, 42.94 per
cent.; foreign born, 16.64 per cent.; ne
groes, 37J per cent.
Vagabondia has followed the natural
tendency, and is now a trust fully or
ganized with districts, lieutenancies,
boards of directors, meeting places,
grips, passwords and a sign language.
There are more than a million tramps
in the country at the present time. The
organization is growing rapidly, and
only requires a competent leader to
make it the most formidable criminal
problem the country has ever had to
face. There are upwards of 100,000
men and women serving time in the
penitentiaries of the land. Wo are the
most lawless country in the civilized
world to-day.
How far is woman responsible for
this lawlessness? Her luxury, her ex
travagance, her addiction to the pleas
ures of the world, her recklessness of
duty, her irresponsibility, must be reck
oned, but I believe that in the main
the cause of these fatal crimes is the
neglect'of the home. Where now in
many a home to-day is the father?
Where is the mother? If she drinks
and gambles where is the moral power?
The influence of the home is gone. This
oldest institution—older than any civil
government on earth, older than any
ecclesiastical organization — a riould on
this divinely-blinded society keep up its
old-time purity. Andiyet what do we
see about us? The* wrecks of, homes;
the shadows and ghosts of homes; the
home life slowly dying out, and with it
the home influence, the home training,
the home religion.
Uncle Joe is Like Deacon.
Apropos of Speaker Cannon and his
difficulties in the House, Jerome S. Mc-
Wade, at a dinner, said:
“Speaker Cannon is crafty. He goes
his own way. He reminds me of a dea
con in my native Duluth.
“The deacon was notorious for being
long-winded. If he rose to speak at
prayer meeting or revival, or love feast,
he was sure to keep the floor half an
hour. It was on the deacon’s account,
when a tremondous conflict arose over
the building of a new wing to the
church, that a rule was made that no
speaker at the final building discussion
should take longer than five minutes.
“At a final discussion, held in the
Sunday-school, a half-dozen speakers
had expressed their views and had sat
down promptly when a tap of the bell
announced the time waB up, and then
the deacon rose.
“The deacon droned on in his old fa
miliar way, and when the bell rang he
had not oven gotten to his subject. The
bell's sharp tinkle caused him to start
and frown.
“ ‘Am I to understand,’ he said,
‘that my five minutes have expired?’
“ ‘Yes, deacon,’ said the pastor, and
the audience tittered slightly.
“ ‘Then, brethren, ’ said the deacon,
‘I will throw the rest of my remarks
into the form of a prayer.’ ”
Courtship in Church.
A young gentleman happening to sit
in church in a pew adjoining one in
which sat a young lady for whom he
conceived a sudden and violent passion,
was desirous of entering into a court
ship on the spot; but the place not suit
ing a formal declaration, the exigency
of the case suggested the following
plan: He politely handed his fair
neighbor ( a bible (open) with a pin
stuck in the following text: Second
Epistle of John, verse fifth—“And now
I beseech thee, lady, not as though I
wrote a new commandment unto thee,
but that which we had from the begin
ning, that we love one another.” She
returned it, pointing to the second
chapter of Ruth, verse tenth—"Then
she fell on her face and bowed herself
to the ground, and said unto him, ‘Why
have I found grace in thine eyes, that
thou shouldst take knowledge of me,
seeing that I am a stranger?’ ” He
returned the book, pointing to the thir
teenth verse of the Third’ Epistle of
John—"Having many things to write
unto you, I would not write with paper
and. ink, but 1 trust to come unto you,
and sneak face to face, that our joy
may he full.” From the above inter
view a marriage took place the ensuing
week.
GUARANTEED DANDRUFF CURE
No Goat For Tom.
The Sunday-school lesson had been
on the efficacy of prayer, and the teach
er had done her best to instill into the
youthful mind the belief that our pray
ers are answered. There was one
doubting Thomas, however, who insisted
that he knew better.
“Why, Tommy, I am surprised to
hear you say you don't believe our
prayers are answered!” expostulated
the teacher.
“I knnw they ain’t,” persisted Tom
my doggedly.
“What makes you think so?” asked
the teacher.
“I don’t think so, I know it,” re
plied Tommy. “You know tho angels
brought a new baby to our house last
week.”
“Yes, I heard about that,” said the
teacher. “Now, surely, that was an
answer to prayer, wasn’t it?”
It was, nit,” replied Tommy,’dis
gustedly. “Why, for six months I’d
been praying for a goat.”
