"Praise God for all his mercies—-

Major cried. then dropped his head
upon the shaking hands locked over
the head of his cane. "He'll save

It was a weary waiting—almost

THE HOUR.
All in s.n hour we win or 1m.
We fail or triumph. rise or fall:
All in an hour we have to choose,
Yes. oftentimes decide it all.
Be opportunity will come.
So oftentimes will come the test—
All in an hour will happen some
Gigantic chance. heroic test.
An hour—end yet we never know
Just when or where that hour will
be:
Along life’s level road we go.
Or sail some blue, untroublod ses—
And then the hpur! Some continent
We seek arises off our bow.
“'ith sudden storm the sky is rent-
And then we know the hour is
. now!
All in an hour—end then we know
For this we labored hard and long.
And tried to learn, and sought to
grow.
And made our minds and bodies
strong.
There must be seeds before the
flow'rs.
So lives are lived, so deeds are
done;
And now we know that all the hours

Until you couldn’t hardly tell

The fenceis gone and. yes, the wall.
And both of them; but I recall
The answer that the neighbors got
From thom'old fcllahs on.the spot:
Dan Senders said—or Was it him.
Or was it Simpson. was it Jim-
Well. anyway. Dan Sanders said:
"A few old cllngstones overhead
“'on't start no row between us two.
“‘hatcvcr other people do."
"They're Just about as hard and

Jim Simpson said, “as ever seen.
To tell the truth. I take my oath
There's colic there enough for both.”
And sometimes when I see the fuss

We no Gay More About

ARIED Iindeed has been the
the career of the little ac-
cessory of dress that we call
a handkerchief. Originally a
kerchlef—~or ’head cover—it was
used at a date when the handkoh
chief as used today was an un-
usual bit of refinement. So when
it was adapted in its present use
it was known as a handkerchief——
"a head cover that was carried in
the hand" and. for generations
thereafter it was further distin-
guished as a pocket handkerchief
-—“s. head cover for the hand car-
tied in the pocket."_
In contrast with the handker-
chief there was the neckerchief—
the head cover that was used
about the neck. Now we hear
occasionally of neck—handkerchief!
For a time it seemed as if
gypsies and newly landed Hun-
garian peasants-«likewise actors
impersonating cowboys and pirates
——-wcre the only xncmhcrs of
American communities wile-were
keeping alive thi- world-old cus-
tom of wearing nockerrhicfs." But
now the ncckerchlcf has assumed
a position of great importance as
an accessory of the tailored suit
that has been welcomed with such
outstretched arms.
One thing that has prevented
women from espousing the cause
of the. suit for several seasons past
is that they have become so used
to low collars that they will not
go back to the old. high. stiff neck
covering. and at the same time
every woman knows that the man-
tnilorcd suit really does not look
its best if worn without a collar.
The. silk handkerchief comes in to
solve the problem.
it may be worn as a little after~
thmirht that can be knotted
casually over the suit collar in the
manner shown in the upper sketch.
Herc the. handkerchief matches
the hat. The lower sketch shows

ing the handkerchief stock. fas-

HETHER women members
w of Parliament should wear
hats or go bsreheaded is a
question that has been raised
recently. Lady Astor preferred
no hat. while among the recently
elected members there is some in-
clination to cover the head. Most
American women feel much better
dressed in the day time when they
can wear s. hat. The fact may be
that we are usually better pleased
with the work of our milllners
than of our hair-dressers. Or
rather that most of us arrange our
to have signs of a too hasty toilet
covered by a seed-looking hat.
For the hats of today do cover
the hair in a most satisfactory

black felt with a. shirring of black
ribbon around the crown and tin-
even loops hanging over the right
side was worn recently by a very
smartly dressed young Italian
princess who is in this country
lecturing. She is young and surely
some of her rare self possession
must come from her consciousness
that she is dressed with perfect
appropriateness. She would serve
as an excellent example to Amer—
ican women entering public life.
Recently when making an after
luncheon speech on political con-
ditions in her own country she
wore this little hat. Her frock
was rather closely moulded, of
black cloth. with sleeves long and
snugly fitting to the wrists. Her
only ornament was a'string of
pearls.
Now you may like colored hats.
You may be tempted to buy one
of the new powder blue confections
that the shops are showing. You
may like a vari-colored metal
brocade turban. You may like
the drooping brim of a wide
capellne. Meandering ostrich”
plumes may appeal to you. ' But:
if you want to make the most of
your eloquence and personality
when you are going to make a
public speech then you cannot do
better than to follow this high-
born Italian's example and wear
a hat that is small and smart and
black.
Vi’hat a change has come over
women in public life! Susan _B.
Anthony would have been the last
person whom we would have
looked to for smart millinery. It
was rather taken for granted that
the woman who was interested in
politics should dress dowdily in
thoate~ days. But now American
women have learned that the
charm that comes from smart
dressing cannot be ignored even
by the woman who aspires to
