EF&M A WOMAN’S VIEWPOINT mJL PEAflLS OF THOUGHT. ' For Diamond Wearers. Little hollow gold balls to snap on over diamond earrings are a novelty not to be despised by the woman who wants to wear her diamonds when ehe goes a-travelmg. She may want them with her, but ehe will not care to wear them when Inappropriately gowned. To her this latest device in gold may prove most useful.—Boston Herald. Arithmetic on Farms. Miss Jessie Field of Page county, 411., has arranged an arithmetic, which she says, will meet every requirement Of girls who expect to pass their lives on farms. She also believes the arith metic will commend Itself to the ma jority of young women In cities. It jias no cube root or binomial theorem In It, and has been simplified In other ways. Miss Field says that observa tion has convinced her that the fern* Inlne mind Is not especially adapted 4br tackling the complicated problems of mathematics, and for that reason she expects her new work to win a popularity all Its own.—New York ^ Ftesw e * j California Women In Politics. Mrs. Elizabeth Qerberding, presi dent of the Woman’s League of Jus tice in San Francisco, is heading a movement for the active participa tion of women in the fall political campaign in California. The League of Justice, which has a membership of 2000, will work In conjunction with other organizations of women In San Francisco, and it Is intended to bring the women throughout the state Into concerted action. Mrs. Gerberd- Ing says it Is time women took part In politics in California. She believes they will get rid of much of the cor ruption which has smirched the repu tat ion of many of the state’s leading cities within recent years.—New York Press. ' Upside Down. Women, Indeed, are clever; but the one who saw a hat-brim decora tion In her unbecoming lace veil was more than ordinarily far-seeing. Now, the ornate and bordered veil has vied with the real lace fichu a hundred times for a place on the hat, but It has not done duty as a face veil and a hat trimming until this un usually resourceful woman turned the ptraight edge down and then spread the bordered part over the brim of her large leghorn hat. This brought delicately acattered sprays and dots over her face in a more becoming scantiness, and gave place on the hat for the full display of the handsome pattern of the border.—New Haven Register. She Hunts In Africa. .Theodore Roosevelt, in working in to the heart of British East Africa, found an Irish girl ruling over an es tate of 175,000 acres. She is a daugh ter of the Earl of Etmiskillen, and her marriage to Lord Delamere was a romance of the hunting field. Dela mere was thrown from Ms horse and the young woman nursed him in a farm house. Soon they were married and Delamere took his bride to East Africa. He now owns the largest es tate of any individual In that coun try, and Roosevelt will be the guest of him and his wife. Lady Delamere is equal to going afield as she has killed big game of every kind In the country. She has had the strange ex perience of shooting a Hon from her bedroom window.—New York Press. Skirt Yokes are Popular. The yoke skirt that was looked on a bit doubtfully when it first made its appearance a few months ago has met with the most imparalleled suc cess both here and abroad. French women particularly have caught it up with the greatest enthusiasm, and from all accounts of the French and English races one saw little else among smartly gowned women. A lovely dress in a very fine silk-finished batiste has the tucked and lace-trim- med skirt mounted on a deep yoke ftiat reaches down well below the hips. The tucks—or rather plaits— start at the lower edge of the yoke, and are stitched down for six or eight Inches. The stitching is placed fair ly near the edge of the plaits so that It gives them a pretty tuck-like ef fect.—The Delineator. Confesses That She Proposed. A Chicago club wo man, who spares her husband the chaffing of his friend# ■by requesting that her name be with held, confesses that she popped the ■question, and she suggests that the world would be better off If the pro posal was left to the discretion of womeft. *'1 think If Women proposed fthe world would be greatly benefited,\ she writes. “Undoubtedly the true daughter of Eve should and surely will, when ehe recognizes the great advantages, propose to the man. She * has infinitely more tact than a man, and I can picture nothing more beau tiful than a very feminine woman of fering to join her life with some one whom she has slogged out. The man will certainly not consider her Immodest, but will admire and love her heroism. ^ Shakespeare says, Krwhen, oh, when comes the day when •hall offer herself to man?\ Shakespeare agrees with me. may be too bashful or toe puffed up to propose. And surely he ^annot, for the sake of chivalry, refuse her. I practiced what I suggest In my own case, and my husband and I have never quarreled In ten years. He al ways agrees with me on every point, and we truly enjoy a happy life. My proposal was a good thing, and it was timely, for my husband has often told me he might never have found the oourasie to say the word.” This Is a pretty philosophy, but it must not be forgotten that the man who hasn’t the heart to propose Isn’t worth a pinch of snuff.—New York Press. Little Pleating. The tiny knife pleatlngs only an inch In width are again coming to the front with the revival of the fussy dressed of the 1830 period. They belong to the era of^the little roses, narrow fringes and puffs. The selvage of chiffon cloiu cut off and sent to the pleater’s or else done with patience at home will save the whole hemmiikg process. The French also double chiffon before It Is pleated, to avoid the hemming. The salvage of some silks may be used In the same way, and when the band of a different col or along the edge happens to be in harmony or In good contrast, it has even been chosen as a decoration for the dress, and allowed to go into the frill. Tiny knife pleatlngs are made of lace Insertions because the straight edge forms a more even line than the scallop of lace. When insertions are used for frills, whether gathered or pleated, they are felled to the1 gown so that the pattern may not be wast ed In a seam. Taffeta ribbon, too, is frequently converted into knife pleat- ings.—Detriot News-Tribune. Virtue Is Its own reward, but ftre gets more publicity. Many a man haS .kept his peace of mind by not giving advice. Also people who live In brick houses shouldn’t throw mud. To be on the right side In politics merely means to be on the inside.

Many a man is so lacking In the essentials of success that he isn’t even a successful liar. It costs a man a lot to live up to his ideals. That’s the reason many a man can’t afford to get married. Some men are so small that we ought to put up with them simply because there is so little of them. About the only time we can borrow without Interest is when distance lends enchantment to the view.— From “The Gentle Cynic” in the New York Times. BEAUTIFUL BUENOS AYRES. Ruined by Baby Talk. In writing In McClure’s of the work being done with defective children by Dr. Witmer, the psychologist of the University of Pennsylvania, Marion Hamilton Carter says: “Once in a while a rare stammer ing case comes to the laboratory where there’s nothing the matter with the child—the matter is with his dear mama! In 1905 Dr. Witmer examined a boy of 12 who talked baby talk—a bright, alert youngster, to all appear ance normal. But nobody could un derstand a word he uttered—except mama; she understood It all perfect ly. T—aw—ow—ay’ was to her ear ‘I want to go out to play,’ as plain as anything could be. It was her ten der custom to reply likewise, and she took pride in the thought that she had ‘never allowed her Willie to associate with the children on the block.’ She had encouraged him to be her baby and ‘kept him from growing up too soon’ by prattling to him. “Except for his unintelligible lan guage. the examination did not re veal a defect, physical or mental, in the boy, and Dr. Witmer was forced to the conclusion that the trouble lay in the persistence of an infantile habit of articulation for which the mother was solely responsible. Through sentimentality and over-indulgence, ‘she had almost ruined his chances for a useful and possibly successful life.* (Psychological Clinic, March, 1907.) Months of painstaking, expert labor had to be expended upon him, to break up the habits Ms mother had careful ly developed,^before he could even be gin to make‘himself understood by any one else.” or cod liver oil.” I Many a man is so lacaing in tne Epidemic cerebro-splnal meningitis used to be rare in France, occurring chiefly in military centres.

There is perhaps no city which ex hibits a greater variety of pleasing contemporary styles of domestic architecture. The city council tries to encourage beautiful building by annually offering a gold medal to the architect who is found to have plan ned the most attractive facade, and by freeing from the building tax the structure thus favored. The outward aspect of Buenos Ayres is rather that of a European than of an American capital. It has all the finish of a Paris or a Berlin. The absence of the irregular skyline, caused in \North American cities by the extreme height of some business buildings, as well as the fact that the ground of the city is quite uniformly built upon, even In the more outlying regions, keeps the city from present ing that unfinished appearance which even our largest cities have.
