Otherwise, she is very easy-going with them, and in the kindest way minis ters to their pleasure whenever it is possible.

There has been a good deal written about dorman mother-love, but the fact that there is a sentiment as fa ther-love seems to have kept ‘well in the background. Masculine America flies from sentiment or from the avowal of sentiment as from a plague or the confession of a crime. Yet it would be a poor country that confined its sentiment to its women. The natural emotions are the inher itance of both sexes, even if it is but one which has the courage to confess them.—Delineator. ' Built Her Own Summer Cottage. Miss Josephine Louise Reynolds, of Hull, a telephone girl, has demon strated that one woman, at least, can drive a nail straight and saw a board .vertically and to the line. She drew the plan of a small sum mer cottage and with her owns.hands, fearless of callous and splinter, con structed it, the workmanship being good in every detail from foundation to rooftree. With her own hands Miss Reynolds will paint, decorate and furnish the cottage, the accommodations being for living, cooking and sleeping. When it is completed some time dur ing the latter part of this week she and her sister Grace will occupy it for the summer.—Boston Globe. . Railway Station Master. Whippingham, on the Isle of Wight, has had a woman station mas ter for twenty years. Mrs. Merwood is, in fact, a whole station staff, for she does everything but remove the baggage to and from trains. The sig nalling and. recording of passing trains, ticket selling, lamp lighting and bill -posting, are all part of her duties, and besides she finds time to attend to the station garden. The place is no sinecure, either, for the station is between Ryde and Cowes, TR b TBl o e et RTe S sPt ol Cereal With Banana Surprise.—Turn any left-over break fast cereal, while still hot, into cups rinsed in cold water, ‘half filling the cups.

Dress For Business. Anna Steese Richardson talks to business girls in the Woman’s Home Companion on the importance of good taste in dress. Said a Frenchman to Mrs. Richard son not long ago, as they sauntered through a model department store: “Your working girls—they "are wonderful. See, they are ladies! Such well-kept hands, such beautiful 1y coifed heads, such smart shoes! They must spend much time to make themselves ready for work. Nowhere | else in the world will you see such | girls earning their living.” | “The self-supporting women in ‘America have won an enviable repu tation for good taste in dress,” says the writer. “Not even in Paris, where every woman is supposed to be chic and to have an ‘air,” do the self-sup-‘ porting girls bear the stamp of gen tility in clothes that you can note inl any large city or factory town in the United States.” = Pretty Hands an Added Charm. The matter of keeping the hands young and pretty is one that every iwoman should consider seriousiy, and .before the time that it is really neces sary for her to do so, says the Delin eator. The hands begin to age at thirty, and there is no greater telltale of a woman’s age than hands not properly cared for. The woman whose hands are short and thick, whose nails look as if they had been chopped off with a coupon clipper, has much to contend with. She arouses antagonism the moment any one looks at her hands. With out well-groomed hands a woman lsl unclassed; she can not possibly im press one as being refined. And, after ‘ all, well-groomed hands are merely| a question of care. | Women nowadays are beginning to | redlize that pretty hands are second only in charm to a pretty face; a pretty hand is not fat and pudgy, as 80 many people think, nor is it neces- | sarily dimpled. | Whether the skin be white or tanned to a deep brown by the raysl of the sun, it must be smooth and firm and well cared for. Even a bony hand, under these conditions, is at tractive to look at, and ten minutes devoted each day to the care of the! hands and nails will reap a rich re ward,—New Haven Register. . i | The Wrong Dope. An Atchison bride is worried to death. She has been reading up for several months in the women’s col umns of the papers how to keep a husband's love, .and. in all of them has found . the .same advice: “Be your husband's constant companion. When he comes home saying he is go ing on a trip, have a handsome tailor made costume all ready, some fresh shirt waists and a little traveling bag packed ready “o accompany him. Look at him with a winning smile and say sweetly: ‘Take me, dear.’ He will, and soon will not know how to go without you,” ete., etec. The bride’s husband is a traveling man, but every time her nusband has left for his territory she has carried out the plan offered by the women’s col umns in the papers. He took her once or twice and she was nearly dead trying to keep up with him. Yesterday, when the bridegroom started for his trip, the bride ap peared with her tailor-made suit, her little traveling bag and her winning smile. - Her husband looked at her and said: “Great heavens, are you crazy? 1f you are going to keep this up, I shall feel like putting you in an asylum,” and then he left the house, without kissing her goodby, slam ming the door after him.—Atchison Globe. Granny Caps Worn by Girls. Tiny “great-grandmother” caps have been adopted by the “river girl” in England. A beauty specialist who has been threatening the modern woman with baldness is responsible for this fashion. “There is no doubt,” she says, “that the river is responsible for scanty and dull colored hair. The ‘river girl’ puts on her hat directly the day begins and spends eight hours out of twelve in her boat. All this time her long-suffering hair is lacking the sunshine and fresh air it requires. It is a most criminal thing to keep the head covered up all day in the summer months, and the ‘river girl’ is undoubtedly the chief offender in this respeci. The little caps exactly meet the difficulty. They are pretty trifies of lace, muslin or ‘embroidery and can be threaded with baby ribbon, They are made in the design of a little Dutch ecap, and many of my clients who have houses on the river have picked up designs made of antigue needlework in Holland. The ‘river girl’ puts on a hat when she is in the full glare of the sun, but she is ready to remove it when she reaches a cool, shady place. Her difficulty then is her carefully arranged curls will be disarranged. The ‘great-granny cap’ fits under the hat, and a girl in a white muslin dress makes a charming picture when she pulls out her hat pins and discloses the bit of lace on the top of her orderly curls.”—New York Press. - WA v“! v P : " & ’_’;_& NEWEST AL X)) FASHIONS | 7 : : } :" o s\ / D OA" - Black velvet is an effective trim ming for cretonne. ; The scheme of contrast is used on black hats with chic effect. Sleeves on most of the new dresses are long, transparent and shirred. A rose pink scarf and spray of pink roses are used for trimming hats. Ostrich plumes are still in vogue, and white flowers are—as always— favored, The new hats are certainly charm ing with their chic decorations of great pointed wings.. Coral pink and Copenhagen blue are favorites in color and are extreme ly charming and youthful. /The cretonne touch at collar and cuffs of a tailored suit is so good that one feels sure it will hold.

The parasol of cretonne is an ac cepted fact, and nowhere does the ma terial appear at better advantage. Lace dresses have lost their popu larity, and very few of them are seen. White linen seems to have taken their place. - Very remarkable dresses at the races at Auteuil, France, were of natural tussor, with chasubles of the same material edged with Dblack passementerie, All the designs show tha’ the Pa risian elegantes are wearing ties and jabots with everything.

They had been driven out of Antioch and reached Iconium footsore and weary. We read in Acts 14:1 that they both went into the synagogue and preached, and that many believed their teaching. At last, however, they were forced to leave Iconium. In his Epistle to Timothy (11. Tim. 3:11) Paul refers to his persecutions there, : Travelers in Asia Minor should not fail to visit this venerable building.— Bessie D. Palmer, in the Christian Herald. He Helped Her, Ty Count Tolstoi was once recuperat ing from a sickness by resting in the Crimea. A party of rich Americans afrived in a yacht and asked per mission to see the great Russiam. .

He Spread Himself, By CHARLES C. MULLIN. “My father was a burglar,” im parted the house-thief to his com panion as they leisurely went about ransacking the house they bad en tered and found “ripe.” “But he was different from the ordinary run of that craft—he was so terribly am bitious! In fact, it was his nervous desire to go ahead and clean up a job that abruptly ended his promis ing career as a high burglar.” ‘‘How was that?” asked the com panion, scraping some spoons to gether on a sheet. . ‘“Well, it was this way. One night, all alone (father wanted all the glory and swag there might be in a job), he slunk out of the house in his gummed shoes and hurried straight to the town bank. Once inside, he drew forth his dynamite, mufflers and tools and set to work drilling into tie vault. Father always made a hole bigger than suited the ordinary cracksman, so he drilled a regular cave and filled it with ten times the ordinary bulk of dynamite. Then he applied the mufflers, attached his fuse, lit it, and sprung back into a distant corner of the bank to wait. “After crouching there for what his nervous temperament judge® to be sufficient time and nothing doing, father began to curse that fuse for being a dead one. He crawled back toward the loaded vault door, and had nearly reached it, when the charge went off—— What's the matter?” “I thought I heard a door creak below.” ‘“That's the wind. Well, the re sult of that explosion was more sweeping than father had calculated,” resumed the narrator, flopping a bu reau drawer onto the floor downeide up. ‘“‘For the jar tore that vault door from its casing and sent it crashing through the street-wall. This alarmed the watchman, who rushed away for the police. The police, in turn, rushed into the bank, and at a glance saw that it was a wreck. Father, you see, Ladn’t had a chance to escape—he was still in the bank. Of course the cops got him. It was his last job.” “Couldn’t he find a hiding-place till they'd gone?” ““Yes; but, as I said before, father was different from the ordinary craft. Where one might be satisfied with hudding under a partially collapsed wall, or squeezing himself through the hole torn into the heating appara tus, or even winding himself up in the twisted pliant cashier's cage, father was different.” “Where did they get him, then?” “In all three places.,”—From Judge. 2 D S —— Telling the Fortunes of Monkeys. ~ Monkey palmistry is a profession ‘fiifi by Dr. Imw .-;sf.tE;~tl;xes: ‘markable spetific variations displayed by the fine raised lines in the tactile surfaces of the hands and feets of apes, monkeys and lemurs. The ex treme complexity of type presented in this respect by the lemurs is es pecially notable. The ridges in the palm attain their full and typical development only in man, apes, mon keys and lemurs, but the degree of specialization does not by any means accord with the relative grade of these animals in the zoological scale. The simple pattern is characterization of the higher forms, and the complex pattern is characteristic of the lower forms. The complex ridges of the lemur br.

Therefore the ridges are gpecially de veloped for helping to do this.—New York World. Would Climb the Gate. Attorney-General Moody was once riding on the platform of a Boston street car, standing next to the gate that protected passengers from cars coming on the other track. A Boston lady came to the door of the car, says the Popular Magazine, and, as it stopped, started toward the gate, which was hidden from her by the men standing before it. “Other side, please, lady,” said the conductor, He was ignored as only a horn-and bred Bostonian can ignore a man. The lady took another step toward the gate. “I must get off on this side,” came the answer in tones that congealed that official into momentary silence. Before he could explain or expostu late, Mr. Moody came to his assist ance. . “Stand to one side, gentlemen,” he remarked quietly. “The lady wishes to climb over the gate.”—New York Journal. Misunderstood. The busy man stopped before an office building and leaped from his carriage.
