' CHILD'S FRENCH FROCK.
The younger generation is remem
bered in the drawing which accom
panies this. A little French frock
has been chosen as the model for the
sketch. This was made of blue
cashmere and consisted of a plain
smock or over-dress cut in one piece
and slipped on over the head with
an opening on the left side of the
front for a short distance. This is
edged with a frill of narrow lace, an
other frill encircling the neck. There
are wide turn-back cuffs of blue and
white stripped silk which material
also serves as underskirt. This
frock would be equally as pretty in
wash materials.

Greater than the value of contact
with facts is "the value of responsibil
ity. In a man's life it is the arrival of
some responsibility which arouses the
powers and makes durable the quali
ties of manliness. The effect of respon
sibility is instantaneous. It Is like a
magnet In Its power to charge the in
dividual with the faculties needed for
the matter in hand.- A light is gener
ated among the fragments of informs
tion. Even after a systematic educa
tion these fragments seem to lie in the
mind in a chance order until this light
appears and shows them ready for use;
then abilities develop which - never
would develop, even with practice, with
out responsibility.--Atlnntic Monthly.

Men's Visiting Cards.
A man's visiting card is for some in
scrutable reason decidedly smaller than
a woman's. The shape is loug and nar
row, the length being nearly or quite
twice the width. A man may have tbe
address of his house or his club on his
visiting card if he likes, but usually he
does not. Terhaps this apparent mod
esty on his part is in reality due to the
fact that his wife, mother or sister of
ten does the formal visiting for the
family. Since her card contains the
address it is not strictly necessary that
his should do so. A young man who Is
a favorite in society knows that people
who want to invite him will take the
trouble to look up his residence in the
directory.
In the case of a married couple if
the husband's card gives the residence
the wife's sometimes omits it It
would seem to be more sensible, how
ever, for every one to put his or her
address on the visiting card, as this
often saves time and trouble and pre
vents confusion. The ladv who looks
over the contents of her card receiver
when arranging to send out invita
tions may inadvertently mix up mem
bers of different families having the
same name- For this reason, as well
as for the sake of uniformity; which
is desirable in these matters, it Is well
to have the cards of the different
members of one family living under
the same roof engraved In the same
style of lettering. It need scarcely be
said that there should be only one
style of lettering on a card, although
the address may be in smaller type
than the name. It Is now the fashion
to give at full length the numbers of
the street and bouse unless these are
so long as to look cumbrous.
Twenty-seven West Seventeenth street.
We cannot help suspecting that this
style was invented for the benefit of
the stationer, since It involves more
work for the engraver and therefore
more expensive for the purchaser than
the simple figures. As it also has an
appearance of affectation, we venture
to predict that it will not last many
years.
A man's visiting card should always
bear the prefix "Mr. unless he has
some other title, a pnysician De
scribes himself as "Dr." or "Doctor,"
a clergyman as "Reverend." If he is
a doctor of divinity he may add D. D.
after his name. A judge uses' that
term on his card. For the members
of the supreme court at Washington
the correct title is
Mr. Justice Holmes,
thus omitting the Christian name. Of
ficers of the Dnfted States army and
navy state their rank as:
Rear Admiral
A- B C-
Commandant
Naval Station United States Navy
Newport.
A lieutenant describes himself as
"Mr.," although he may give bis ranis
beneath his name. If he is in the ar
my the regiment may be given also.
Militia and other complimentary titles
are not used. There should be no
"Mr." on a business card. A school
boyuses no prefix to his name Hus;
band and wiflTbften have a Joint card
to send with wedding presents or to
use for purposes of congratulation or
condolence. Such a card is not often
used for calling, except during the
first year of marriage.
Helpful Hints For Women.
The woman who is innately dainty
dislikes to remove her gloves when
traveling by rail, for grimy and un
sightly Indeed does the hand become
in even a well protected drawing room
coach. Some women carry old, loose
gloves, which are drawn on at the be
ginning of the journey and removed
only in the dining car. For the same
reason the hat should never be remov
ed while traveling by rail unless a
chiffon veil is at hand to tie over the
hair. It is so hard to keep the hair
properly shampooed while traveling
that the greatest care should be taken
of it, and the dust and soot of an
all day railroad journey will practi
cally ruin Its condition, robbing it of
its luster and rendering it clogged.
heavy and whispy. A chiffon hood,
made like an automobile hood and lin
ed with thin silk will keep the hair
clean on the train and at the same
time be light, cool , and comfortable.
When the end of the journey is reach
ed a handful of powdered orris may
be shaken over the hiiir and brushed
out This will help to make the tresses
clean and fluffy.
The importance of a note of acknowl
edgment not only of an invitation but
of courtesy received cannot be over
estimated, and the few graceful words
of thanks for the pleasant evening
please the hostess and gain for a guest
the reputation of having been well
brought np and also of being appre
ciative two most valuable assets.
In these days, when attractive sta
tionery can be bought for so little,
every girl should take care to select at
tractive note paper. The cost of mark
ing the address is also very trifling,
and a dainty note, well written and
well expressed, always makes n good
Impression upon the recipient. Small
note paper and the oblong cards should
always be kept at hand so there can
be no excuse for not answering an in
vitation promptly or in acknowledg
ing acts of courtesy or kindness, and
Just such trifling acts as these do more
to make or mar a girl's popularity
than she realizes.
The Bells of Davos. "
The first thing that strikes the stran
ger In Davos, Switzerland, and strikes
him unpleasantly Is the bells. Not
only does every cow, goat and sheep
wear its bell, but when they are all
shut np for the winter and we hope for
a little rest then comes the infernal,
eternal din from every cart, carriage,
sleigh, omnibus and all other kinds of
vehicle which ply for hire or other
wise. No doubt they become a neces
sity on the silent highways as winter
progresses, but that does not render
them one bit more palatable.

- WHAT MADE EIM GREAT?
The celebration of Abraham Lin
coln's birtlidav brought up the old
query. "What made him great?"
Henry Watterson says in his lecture
on Lincoln that the man was inspired
just as Moses was inspired. , Which
sounds well, but is rather indefinite.
Was It heredity, environ uent or will
power that made Lincoln great-
He had something from heredity a
great mother and something from en
vironment hardships, obstacles, oppo
sition. Hut
lie also had much fvom his own
strong will power, and his will power
was shaped by his ideals Where did
he get his ideals?
s Let's see.
When Nancy Hanks Lincoln was dy
ing in that leg cabin in Speucer coun
ty, Ind.. she put ber hand ou the head
of her wiluVrness boy. eight years of
Bge, and said:
'I'm going away, my bo.v. but I want
you to remember that your mother
wants you to be a good and useful
man.
There's the beginning of Lincoln's
ideals.
How many times in his after life
that boy felt upon his head the hand
of bis dying mother and heard her
words we may not know, but we do
know that in his boyish heart he made
hiK -oiiS,, m ata hw tw
dream of him come true,' because he
said:
"All I am in life I owe to my angel
mother."
Pluck, spirit of endurance, applica
tion, plus a mother's hand, made Lin
coin great.
When Nancy Hanks Lincoln died
Thomas Lincoln cut down a poplar
tree and sawed out by hand the lum
ber which he nailed together for her
coffin.
And-
Standlng by the side of the grave
when the form of that woman of the
hazel eyes and melancholy face was
lowered by the few neighbors stood
Abraham Lincoln, hatless. barefooted.
freckled, ungainly, holding his little
sister by tbe hand.
Sorry beginning for a great life?
Yes. but-
The sound of a voice that was still
and the touch of a vanished band
helped to fashion the ragged boy into
what he afterward became.
A mother's band, a mother's voice
don't forget to look for these in every
life. .

MISS LENA DUTHIE
"An Evening in Scotland and Ire
land" is the title of the unique music
al program which will be given by
Miss Lena Duthie, the well known
Scottish lyric soprano, under the aus
pices .of the Robbie Burns Society in
Willamette Hall Monday evening,
May 6.
"If you wish to hear the songs
which will not die, sung as they were
meant to be sung," writes a critic,
"then move within range of Lena
Duthie's voice. Miss Duthie hails
from Scotland, and under the spell of
her Scotish and Irish folk-tone and
the national songs, one is serenely
indifferent to the rest of createin with
its worries and cares. Miss Duthie
appeared at the Lyric Theatre last
evening and with crisp wit and win
some . presence captivated her audi
ence even before she sang. Wearing
the part of old Scotia, she interpret
ed the appealing tenderness Of "An
nie Laurie,' and another gem was
"The Skye Boat Song,' so suggestive
of devotion and daring and the lift
of waves, Miss Duthie can wear the
green as gracefully as the Tartan and
in her Irish group she sang her way
to the hearts of all who were privi
leged to be present. They heard frol-
I csome rmncKing carney y riea, ana
1 oy O'More, and they listened to
the blended sweetness and sadness
of 'Kathleen Mavoureen and "The
Last Rose of Summer.' "
