THE AUTUMN GIRL
Brocaded 8uiti Never
Better Liked Than Now.
IS BTVTKB'S GREElt BBOCADB.
At the end of the season one's tailor
ed suit Is apt to look a bit the worse
for wear, and the woman who Is up
to the miuute in smartness is buying a
new costume for the early autumn
days,
She could not make a more modish
selection than to purchase a suit like
the one pictured of hunter's green
brocaded cloth.
The deep cuffs and collar are fash
louable features of this desirable cos
tume. THE CONSTANT CLICK.
Mm Mabel Plumb, an employe of the
telegraph company for twenty-five years,
killed herself at Joliet 111 She had been
made Insane by the constant clicking of
the sounder She left a note saying-:
-My head hurts My eyes are growing
dimmer The click of the instruments Is
maddening. "-News Item.
If you know the strain of long con
tinued work without needed Intermis
sion and who does not? you can sym
pathize with the poor woman.
There Is, of course, no absolute ex
cuse for "suicide it is, as a rule, a
cowardly evasion of the responsibili
ties of life-but if any colorable Justi
fication for It could be found, prob
ably It would be in the long strain
ucb ts Mrs. Plumbe could stand no
longer.
Click! Click! Click! To the Inex
perienced ear there are few things
more Insistent In the world of sound
than the sounding of the telegraph In
strnment It Is like the "continue1
dropping In a very rainy day" of which
Solomon wrote.
Do you notice the click In your dally
Hfe?
If you do, and you value your peace
of mind and your health, seek a change.
Before It wears you out and drives
you to the point, or near It. to which
It took the poor woman In our text, get
relief.
When things go well with us, and
our dally Lives run in straight well or
dered lines, we do not bear the click.
It Is part of the bum of easy running
machinery that Is so pleasant to hear.
But let the work become wearisome,
let the brain or the body be fagged,
and the click rises superior - to the
music. It is a note of discord, an In
dication of a dally life thrown out of
tone with Its surroundings.
Time to rest, to let up!
ITare you ever noticed a veteran tele
graph operator, with bis feet perched
on a desk, reading a newspaper and
smoking a pipe? At bis side the tele
graph sounder ticks away busily, but

age is not for biin
But let the sender send In a message
for him. The paper drops, the pipe Is
laid aside, the band jumps to the
transmitter, ready to break in and ask
questions If need arises
The steady flow of telegraph talk
does not Interest blm It is the un
usual click that draws him to bis key.
When the constant click, not ad
dressed to the operator, holds bis at

"ONE DAT AT A TIME."
Four hundred years ago lived Ste
phen Iliiwes, su English poet known
only to students of literature. lis left
little for future generations to rend,
but be penned two lines which. In the
opinion of competent critics, are
enough to save bis uaiue from oblivion.
They are:
For, though the day be never so long.
At lait the bell rlngeth to evensong.
Of course the thought itself was not
original with Hawea. It must have
come to blm from antiquity, for ever
since the world began men have been
preaching aud listening to the philoso
phy of
One day at a time.
Strictly true It Is not, since day la
only one link In a lengthening chain
of days
We cauuot take the chain apart no
matter how hard we may try nor how
certain that we may be that the world
knew us not before our eurthly birth
and will know us not after the breath
of life has left our bodies The ro
unitcst day In the annals of time Is
Joined with Its successor and with all
Its successors to make today, aud to
day already stretches out Its hand to
tomorrow and to all the coming tomor
rows.
But "one day at a time" has its truth
nevertheless.
It tells us to let the cares of the day
fade into the dissolving hues of the.
sunset. If they are business cares
lock them up when you snap shut your
desk. If the field you plow Is stony
do not pick the stones from the fur
row to exhibit tbeui as parlor orna
ments Throw tlietn aside as you go
through the furrows.
When evousong rings out Its call to
rest aud ieace let uot its melody and
harmony bo disturbed by thoughts of
the sorrows and cares, the worries and
troubles of the day.
It is very easy to offer such ad
vice and ditlicult to put It Into practice.
Into every life come the Insistent
cares, the troubles that will not b
waved aside, that will not melt away
with the, coming of the eveulng.
If they are real cares, and not fig
ments of the imagination' they must
be fought bravely No amount of op
timistic philosophy, no cheerful advice
of "Forget It!" will make then less
reaL
But after all. In one sense It is troe
that we live only one day at a time.
If we lire that one day rightly as it
comes to us. tomorrow will be a better
day.

VACATION WORK
Now Is the Time For Making Ad
vance Christmas Presents.
NOVELTY IN CENTERPIFCES.
Here's Brand New Idea In Imbreld
ery Hoops They. Are Mads et
French Oilcloth, Which Is Used as a
Foundation 8tretcher
Now Is the tlnio to do some advance
work for Christmas.
The new designs In art needlework
are practical. The materials are wash
able aud durable, and the most proinl.
neut stitches are those which require
the least labor. The busy woman of to
day likes designs which quickly and
easily give effective results.
Uncus and crashes tu white Slid naU
oral tones are seen In centerpiece,
dresser scarfs and pillow cover
Dresser scarfs and pin cushions In
white pique have scalloped edges aud
embroidery done In color.
Coronation end Torpedo Braids.
Coronation braid Is used In combine
Hon with torpedo braid. Some pretty
effects are In daisy designs, with the
centers worked in color In long aad
sliort stitch outlined with torpedo
braid.
Darning, or Terslan embroidery as tl
is called, Is given quite a slant, produc
ing a decidedly new appearance! The
designs and colors are lu Persian ef
fects, and the darning stitch Is worked
over a tinted background. Many of the
pillow covers, table runner and dress
er scarfs are good imitations of Per
sian rugs, both in the design and color
ing. Punch work ts still used, but In com
bination with French knots.. French
knots in various sizes will be exten
sively used lu decoration. They are
usually In floral form In the soft pastel
tones, forgetmenots being the most
popular. The work is done in white
or color. An attractive design Is a
French basket filled with floral designs
In French knots. Dresser scarfs, etc..
In white linen have designs outlined
In small Freueb knots. Dutch designs
are effective worked In blue knots, with
the edge finished with cluny lace.
Insets of hand mado cluny lace have
the edges worked In solid knots. Pil
low covers, centerpieces and scarfs In
natural color linen are often decorated
with mnlta braid.
Oilcloth Instead of Hoops,
A new idea is a centerpiece of white
linen and plate doilies mado In one. It
is cut round to fit a table and six
pieces about eighteen Inches In length
extend from the centerpiece, leaving a
space sufficiently large for a bread and
butter plate doily. The edges are
scalloped and the embroidery Is done
In eyelet work.
Instead of using an embroidery hoop
for small stitches and dainty work like
letters on handkerchiefs and pillow
slips French oilcloth Is often used for
a stretcher. Cut a square rather larg
er than the figure or Initial to be em
broidered and baste it with fine cotton
on to the back of the material. The
glazed surface prevents the needle
from piercing the oilcloth, while Its
pliability enables It to be bent easily
over the linger when necessary.
PLANS FOR ILLINOIS ROADS.
Would Allow Various Counties to Do
frsy All Expenses.
Hard road building came Into the II
Hnois senate In a new form when Al
bert C. Clark of Chicago put In a bill
providing for a county road system-
It provides for a referendum plan of
appointing three county road comrals--tloners
in a county that may decide to
take up bard road building. These
Itoluts are urged In favor of the plan:
First It Is an equitable plan, spread
ng the cost of constructing main roads
ver all the taxable property In the
county.
Second. It tends to make continuous
main roads, with no breaks at the
township lines. This desirable feature
Is never attained under the township
plan, while town line roads Invariably
uffer.
Third. Money enongh is secured to
improve difficult pieces of road that
-on Id never be touched under township
supervision.
Fourth. Under the county plan there
tre always two experienced men on the
board. This tends to retain skilled em
ployees In their losltions, and it Is true
that county r.-ods, as a rule, are dis
tinguishable :y their superior work
marilll Vatures.
Fifth -The county plan tends to
economize In the matter of road build

A SARTORIAL NIGHTMARE.
The "College Teas" Sported by Har
vsrd Students In 1818.
The old time "college logu" worn liy
llio Harvard students hsck lu IXM was

fled as the result of the dressmaker's
art Of course, no one now living
remembers It. but the ancient "logs"
la described In tl.o aminla of the col
lege, and the present Oxford cap and
gown are very simple and sober things
In comparison.
As doscrllxtl by a writer whose
curiosity had leen aroused by stories
concerning the gay festive "college
toga," even tho togas worn by the old
Roman senator were negligible quan
tities. In 183(1, when Harvard cele
brated her two hundredth anniversary,
this fanciful summer garment was
much lu vogue, and for at least two
seasons It was In high fnshluu with the
undergraduates.
It was made of gingham and of a
color and pattern to suit the taste of
the wearer. It was a loose fitting gar
ment reaching to the knees, was gath
ered at tho neck and also at the waist
Milnd. It had a turned over collar, a
small rape rounded In front and a bolt
of the material of tho dress. The
sleeves wore either hooked or buttoned
at t tic wrist. It was trimmed with a
long tasseled white fringe. The accom
paniments of this dress were a low
crowned, broad brimmed straw hat,
secured by a broad ribbon under the
chin; trousers and silk or thread gloves
of a color In harmony Willi that of the
toga, and usually a henry cane.
It Is not known to whom tho distinc

the "college toga." Like Jupiter, It
came Into being complete In Its match

probably due to tho creative genius
and skillful lingers of "Ma'am" Dana,

SATURDAY BATHING.
A Custom tho Occidtnt Borrowed From
the Orient
Most bartwirlnns. Judged by modern
staudanls, wore anything but cleanly
in their pcrsouul habits. In F.ngland.
France and .Germany bathing was an
almost unknown custom until after
the Crusade. The pilgrims from the
east brought home with thoiu Ideas of
the bath ns help lu the treatment of
disease, and bathrooms were gradually
lntnMlnc.il Into the hospitals. From
the hospitals the Ideas of bathing
spread generally. People who had
been treated there saw tho valuo of
keeping the body clean lu order to re
sist disease. The great plague that
swept over F.urope in the early yenrs
of the fourteenth ceutury helped to
teach this lesson.
Ity the fifteenth ceutury there was
scarcely a largo city that did not pos
sess well patronized public bathing es
tablishment, although It was not until
the seventeenth century that the Turk
ish bath was Introduced, and not until
ihe eighteenth century that sea bath
lug, so common among the American
Indians, was tried exerimontnlly.
Saturday was chosen aa bathing time
and the reason is not difficult to Im
agine. On Sunday everybody was com
pelled to go to church, whether he
would or not As the Moslem In the
east bathed tiefnre entering the mosque
so did the medieval man before enter.
Ing his church, only he must take his
bath on Saturday nfternoon in order
to lie clean Hie following dny. There
was even a distribution of bath money

TWO NEW ROADS
FOR CALIFORNIA
Each Extends Entire Length of
That State.
SMALL TOWNS CONNECTED.
Highways Being Constructed at Cost
of 118,000,000 How Economy Is
Practiced and the Shortest Possible
Routes Are Followed.
California wuuls and Is going to have
two hunk roads, north aud south, and
Its well defined plan presents an object
lesson lo other stale of great distances
and oinplwiKlr.es the fact that the
through road Is a modern necessity In
a general system.
The California law requires roads to
W built tho length of the state along
the most direct and practicable routes,
one along the coast and another trav
ersing the Sacramento aud 8ti Jon
qulu valleys, with lateral roads to such
county souls as may not lie on tho main
lines. For constructing these roads
$1S,iis),(HKI was voted two yenrs ago.
The ailtoiiioblllsls naturally worked for
this legislation, aud It Is worth noting
(hat California has more motorcars
tliun Franco, In excess of 7.VH),
In the eastern and central slates not
only are i omllilons different, but the
topography of the country Is less severe
aud lends Itself more readily to the
I building of rouds that will best serve
the Interest of the i-eopie. The groat
bulk of travel on the through roads of
the east Is not from one terminal to
the other, but letwc.-u the Important
cities along the route and tictwecii them
and either terminal. Coiisoiileutly It Is
more exixtlleiit lo build main rouds so
ns to roach all Ilia tuiHrtaut points
along or lie.ir the route, oven to the ex
tent of sacrificing a part of tho direct
ness and adding some mileage.
That Ihe comparatively few people
ho travel the whole length of road
ihoiild go a few uililltloual miles rather
:buu compel a largo number of short
I lt! unco travelers lo go additional dis
tances Is self evident. For every tell
.icrsons who travel across a state there
ro probably ninety who travel from
ine point to another within the state,
that us a mutter of convenience tu
the great majority a route across s
tato should touch all of the Important
cities w 1 1 ti I ii reasonable roach.
With the uinoiiut of money provided
:be utmost economy must lie practiced
sin! shortest Kmsi!te routes followed
to comply Willi tho law. To build
road that will stand Ihe strain of
much motor travel the state highway
oiumlssloii has adopted concrete for
almost tho entire system. In building
the road the grade Is prepared and
drained so ns to leave the subgrade
iry that It will not freeze and benve
with frost
It Is then thoroui'ily rolled. On this
Is placed four Inche i of rich concrete,
which Is surfaced with a coat of heavy

When the town of Tolono. III., was
settled the question of a name arose.
The site chosen for the town waa at
point where three forms "cornered."
These farms were owned by three of
the early settlers of the region, by the
names of Todd. Lognn and Noyes.

This wrs agreed to. and the name To
