He works for his living, and he gets a good one. One thing we notice, he is a man of fine habits. He saves his money and is ffttting ready to buy some property. Be loves his home, plays with the children, reads good books and keeps company with his wife. Because of lite good habits he saves a little, which will give him a chance to make an investment. And then there Is another thing--he Is a reliable man. He does good work. He is honest in whatever he does. Every dollar he gets represents Just that much of honest labor. It Is this, largely, that makes him ptosper- <Ms and happy. Water keens Its own level, and so do conduct and character and prosperity. If a man is mean and low, so will the consequences be. He cannot be one thing and his experience another. A low-lived man may grow rich and happy, but it will not be for long. Anybody can tell what's the •matter with a man if he is with him a day. He will soon see If the other Is a spleen, s stomach, sn uplift or a hope.--Ohio State Journal It Is safer to commend the dead than the living. Punishment. The primary class of the Swhdky school was having a lesson on disobedience and Its frequent direful consequences. "Oh, yes, I know all about that," said Roberta. "I was punished yesterday for not minding my mother.** "Is that so?" *ald the teacher. "Can you tell me about It?" "Well, my mother told me not to go off our own sidewalk, so she could call me when she wanted me, but I did. I went around the corner to play with another little girt and when she called me I didn't hear." "And were you punished for yow disobedience 7* "Yes, I was. I didnt get back to lick the eakepan!" Future Binding-Twine Supply. American farmers use 200,000,000 pounds of binder twine a year, while an additional 100,000.000 pounds is necessary for the other grain-growing countries. Eighty per cent of the henequen used in the manufacture of twine comes from Yucatan and most of the sisal used In making twine also is imported from foreign countries. For the protection of American farming Interests the United States department of agriculture Is promoting the growing of sisal and henequen in the Philippine islands, Hawaiian islands, Porto Rico and Florida in order that Cncle Sam's future supply at binder twine may be a "Made In America" product.

All of us have a notion, writes a fashion correspondent, that summer dresses art easy enough to make, and so they are; but since such attractive ones, needing slight alteration, can be bought, few of us do. Indeed, I sometimes think that home dressmaking has vanished almost entirely. especially in large cities where everything can be bought ready for immediate wear. Perhaps there will be a revival this summer, since the demand for knitting and sewing for the soldiers is not so urgent and women can turn their attention to former occupations. I find a basis for this thought in the vast number of hand made and embroidered, befriUed and bestltehed dresses I have seen, not only for children but for grown-ups as well. Heading the procession of cotton fabrics for general utility frocks come the English prints. They reveal the same quaint and old-fashioned designs of catfco, but are of finer texture and cost very much more--95 cents a yard--those really from Great Britain. For the most part the prints are made up In the plain shirt waist effect, with some frills of linen for collars and cuffs and a bit of ornamentation down the front of the blouse. As the material is substantial in texture and well covered by the qualftt designs over the surface little trimming is needed, and there Is not much that can be su9ces» !/ A Winsome Frock of White Georgette for the Summer Outfit. fully combined. Plain linen collars and cuffs and smaH hemstitched frills of white to relieve the monotony are about the only really good things to use. Belts of patent leather or of the material finish the waist. An Interesting New Color.; * One of the new colors Is a queer sort of brick yellow red background with very tiny yellow flowers scattered thickly over the surfnee. It seems to me this sort of material calls for oldfashioned companions such as rlc-rac braid aad piping. I observe many indestructible voiles and georgettes with printed designs trimmed with pointed scallops exactly like the rlc-rae braid and made of organdie. They are easy enough to make by stitching on the sewing machine In the pointed, zigzag way and using them as an edge for sashes, surplices and sleeve trimmings. We all know the vogue organdie has had for two seasons now, a vogue only slightly abated this summer. The crisp loveliness of organdie and Its entrancing color make it always desirable, but the lovely dotted swlss cloth and fine nets are crowding it out of first rank this year. One still sees lovely organdie frocks with frills and tucks in plenty, and I have recently found a fashion of draping the thin sheer organdie over a slip of coarse white net which gives a most unusual and attractive effect. When these net slips are used they are fashioned on the long princess lines or caught in at the waist like a camisole. Deep flounce* of lace are added along the bottom of the skirt, just as one would trim a petticoat. In nearly every instance tvhere the net Is thus used the outside skirt is left untucked and plain except for a deep hem and perhaps a cluster of double frills at the top. Let us not forget the frills this summer, for never was there a time when ruffles were so much worn. Everything is done with them and they trim everything. Knife plaited and hung at the sides of a skirt, or gathered and placed one after the other upside down on skirts, they are employed lavishly. Of course this fashion has been simplified for the home dressmaker, for it is possible to buy all such by the yard, ready to sew right into place all hemmed and befrllled. As to the dotted swlss--the makers of dresses have successfully combined it with net of fine mesh and soft, narrow Valenciennes lace. One of the most charming summer dresses of this material is made of cream colored swiss with the simplest straight lines revealed in a round skirt with a four- Inch hem; The waist, or shirtwaist plainness, has a deep wide fichu of cream net and Valenciennes lace, crossing after the Marie Antoinette fashion in front and extending in loose, overlapping loops In the back, where it reaches almost to the hem. The sleeves are longer Mian the bebe sleeves the French send us and stop ist at the elbow. The colored swlss much in demand--the soft yellows, ues and pinks, and they,'too, combine successfully with puffs of net and the okl-fashioned footing we have not used in innny years. As to the materials used for elaborate occasions such as club dances, house party dinners and garden parties, net is in the lead. In fact the net dress Is having a revival. It Is so entrancingly lovely that every woman will hail it with Joy. The colored flouncings with wide, sprawling flowers are extensively used. I recall a particularly pleasing dinner frock of sky blue net flowers over a petticoat of blue which deepened the color and lent tone to the big whife roses sprawling along the edge of the flounce. The skirt was, in reality a series of three flounces placed one above the other, and the bodice was a repetition of the flouncing cleverly placed in up and down effect to give the desired long lines. A wide tulle sash finished the waist and fluffed out a soft bow at one side. The sleeves opened at the shoulders to show the arm and hung In a drapery of the flouncing and tulle to form a sort of underneath sleeve. Such a demand there seems to be for these colored nets that edges of colored nets aye 4^4^ ,,to the whltg flouncings. WRAPS FOR SUMMER EVENING Caps Form Is Favored, With Linings of Brighter Colors in Soma * Garments. Evening wraps are often as gorgeous as the gowns which they not Infrequently match or are combined with. They are rarely, however, made of exactly the same material, although the fabric in the gown is occasionally used as lining for the wrap. Renee has conceived an idea of bands of contrasting color which form kimono sleeves. For instance, a plain black satin has these bands in black and gold braid, of which latter material the lining and the big collar are made.* Bernard, in a coral velvet worked with gold and lined with taffeta to match, shows a big collar formed of a ruffle of the silk. This is quite new. At Worth's, evening as well as day wraps invsriably take the form of capes. One of black velvet, with three capes, depends for its novelty upon Its lining of pink satin worked all over its surface in criss-cross blacl^ streaks looking like lightning. Fashionable Ostrich Feathers. Ostrich feathers have reached a high pinnacle of fashion. They are shown in groups of three, called the Prince of Wales feathers, to tuck out the puffs of soft fabric which are on the hips of the new skirts. This fashion has been exploited In America for a year and hds recently received attention from the public. France accentuates ostrich feathers In evening costumes and in all kinds of millinery. The milliners surround flowers with ostrich flues. The neckwear' people use tiny ostrich tips to make high Sarah Bernhardt collars that flare outward and upward over the chin. These are worn with decollate gowns in the evening and with partly low gowns in the day.

Girls with artistic taste are decorating their bedrooms and sitting rooms very gayly just now, says the London Gentlewoman. On self-colored walls, they paste baskets of flowers of many colors, which they themselves have painted and cut out. Or, if not flowers, which tfre sometimes in natural, but often In futuristic, colors, other devices. A well-known young singer has painted a number of daffodils-- yellow, of course, one cannot Imagine daffodils anything but ypllow!--and pasted the cut-out flowers against a silvery wall. The effect is dellclously fresh, these spring days. Then a large number of people bent on beautifying their houses in an entirely novel way, and with artistic suggestiveness, are painting their furniture with equally happy result. Some of the new Jersey] frocks come In* strong colors. Japanese or Tanagra 8kirts. The new skirts for' evening, and sometimes for the day, are definitely Japanese or Tanagra. The lapped seam which was placed at the back of skirts is now placed at the front The material is pulled slightly upward in folds that go around the hips and the end of the spine. If a woman copies the contour of the costumes worn in Farrar's "Mme. Butterfly" she gets the correct effect. The skirt that is open in back to show the heels, or tilted up the back, is out of fashion A few French designers drape skirts upward in back, but they cover this drapery with a panel train spreads on the floor.
