ROMANCE OF RIBBON
MATTER OF HISTORY
Colorful Adornments Worn
in All Ages.
In all your rumbles among Hie rib
boll counters, did you ever consider
tbe ancient Natnnce of the "ribband?"
Switching one's mood with ribbon Is
not a modern pastime. All through
romantic history, ribbon, glittering and
gleaming, winds Ha silky way.
Always Hie token of love, chivalry
or (Miwer, the "ribband" of old has
appeured now its a love knot, carried
by soma knight as his lady's favor;
now u rosette for u diminutive slip
per; now a single streamer from a
seal of a .locvinent of state.
When Queen KlUllbetli took the
throne ribbon first came Into Its own.
Until belles and beaux of the period
used It lavishly for their n-rsonal
adornment. "Men of meniie rank,"
writes a historian, "weure garters and
shoe rosea of more than live pounds
apiece." As for the Indies, ribbon
richly trimmed their headgears und
formed sprinklings of rosettes and
love knots on their handsome gowns.
Hut In tbe reign of l.ottls XVI, the
favored ribbons amounted to frenay.
Ladles bcribboned every garment, ev
cry accessory, and gave Hie ribbons
such meaning titles aa "attention."
"murk of hope," "downcast eye,' "slgli
of Venus.'' (b'tilletnen Wore hair rib
bons. The practical Scots, however, found
a more useful mission for Ibe ribbon.
In Scotland, down until a unite recent
data, the "snood" or "ribband" on the
hair of a girl meant tltut she was un
married. The name "ribband" comes from the
fact that, before Ibe Mrs! ribbons were
used In Kurope, probably 111 the Six
teenlh century, they were woven on
the hands and borders of garmculs,
and were narrow, like a rib. When
Htay were Mrst manufactured as sep
arate irlmmlngs. tiny were often of
gilt, fc with threads of gold and silver
Interwoven. l'onseiiiently, they were
expensive, and the linglNb parliament
passed an act reserving to nobility tho
right to wear them.
The "blue ribbon" and "red ribbon,"
which are often given today as marks
of excellence, had their origin In Raf
hind. The blue ribbon then designat
ed thai oldest order In England, the
Order of the Hurler; aud the red
ribbon stood for Hie next highest or
der, the Order of the Hiltb.
Another ribbon custom which origi
nated In BnStnnd la that of numbering
ribbons. This numbering was gov
erned by the thickness of the Kngllsh
penny, which was ulniost as large
as our silver dollar.
So, you can Indulge your ribbon fads
and fancies with the assurance that
yuu have historic precedent buck of
you, next time you make a trip to tba

"1 tell you," he said, after a few
moan ins of oiuiliuus silence, 'Tin woi

There are few states of mind in-re
Useless and harmful limn worry. Half J
tbe things are worry about never Imp

do our work.

tbe worry of chinch hug and cul

of drou:;h rial ve spells, of low
prices aud failing crops; of hog cbolt ru

and a iboii-aml und one diseases an :
disasters vvblcli seldom overlook us.
"We are going lo have a tine CfOfJ
of oni this year," I said to 11 coin
plaining neighbor.
"Yes, but lin worried for fear art
won't get atij thing for It." wns his
cheerful reply. "When we have u ciop
we don't gei anything for it d wiea
pi lees are iilgh vve uon't raise any
Ibltlg." And I never remember a crop failure
or a time when things did not turn out
pretty satisfactorily, lliough few ever
let mad to give up worrying.
There are few things so useless a
worrying. It will not win a girl's love
or raise tbe price of potatoes; It will
not get u man a Job or muke hint Im
mune from the hives. Ii heli no alt
nation; It gets one nowhere; It ia as
gloomy and us uncertain a pleasure us
the enjoyment of poor health.
There are few things which ao In
bihit and discourage progress or auc
cess ua worry. It cornsles every pleas
ure; It destroys ambition ; it foe
to content: It robs a man of the will
or of the desire to think or to work.
When a man worries he must give all
of bis time to It.
The man "ho says he enn't help
worrying resigns himself to emotional
ataverj too enatry. Worry Is amenable
to the will aa Is ever, other form of
nervousness or hysteria. We encour

War Declared!'!
Pleasure Spot Holds Grave
of David Kennison.
Many of the thousands of visitors
to Lincoln park have discovered
: fer themselves near the Wisconsin
street entrance u granite boulder set
' with a broti, tablet designating the
s;iot as approximately the buriul
1 puna of David Kennison.
II has been seventy two years since
' Keiinison's death, when, at the age of
I one hundred fifteen years, three Mentha
' and seventeen days, be was the Inst
survivor, of the Huston "ten party."
, Xow Ids grave tublel with the in
acrtptlon. Is the only reminder of a
! life tl'.ut wus picturesque lo more
j ways 1 ban one.
Kennlaoa was an curly settler in
Ciocag as well as a veteran of the
I Revolotlpftnry war and the War of
1812. He came here' In IU'k w hen he
! was MP years old. Since his light
ing days he had been crushed by a
falling tree and wounded by a can
non ball tired at a military review, and
hud only 11 iension of $8 u month to
' uiutntaln him. Nevertheless he started
! weal looking for thrills aud fortune.
For a v . ar or so after coming to
the yourg m.'tropolls on the lake
! shore, Kennison worked ua a day lnl
orer. Then his fame as a "pottrer"
111 itw Boston "tea rmrty" having
spiend, he obtained the post or lec
tin er at Mooney's museum. 7:1 West
Lake street Iltst.le Introducluc
I'rater's Cenuine Vliglnlu tninsireis
and discussing the wax figures and
other strange exhibits, he gave a lec
ture 1 1 each performance on the dump
ing of tea In lb ston harbor.
Kennison was made manager of the
museum In lH4t and he announced
that to the public In the following
iniinn"r:
"I have taken the museum In this
city, wblcb I was obliged to do In order
to gel a comfortable living, as my
pension is so smuM it scureely affords
1 he comforts of life. If I live unlil
the 17lh of November, 1948, I shall be
112 years old, and I iniend making a
donation party on that day at the
museum. 1 have fought In several
battles for my country. All I ask of
the generous public la to call at the
museum on the 17th of November,
which Is my birthday, and donate to
me what they think I deserve."
The aged patriot not only lived to
be host at his donation party, but al
most four years beyond then. His
death occurred February 24, 1852. The
funeral was held from the First Meth
odist church und the procession was
the most Imposing military turnout
seen In Chlcnga up to thai time. His
body was burled In the cemetery that
then was situated in the present uirk.
After the cemetery had been moved
the Illinois chapter of the Sons of the
Revolution, and the Duughters of the
American Revolution marked bis
grave with the boulder and tablet.

We were nut all in favor of snicker
suits some few years ago. Ilo.vever.
Hint is ancient history, today the
knicker suit is the I leal garb of the
sportswoman Every detail is planned
for comfort with the style element
aeeented. For midsummer the SSaja
less kinds are liked best of all. Of
course In this age when accessory
counts so much in costuming one ex
ercises 11 discriminating taste In mat
ter of blouse, tie, hosiery and other
details. The strictly tailored and
11 iiunish effects are preferred. The
picture illustrates the jsdnt. The
knitted four-in hand tie Is considered
very smart. The narrow patent
leather belt is the finishing touch.
To harness the sun's heat so that It
will Ik? concentrated enough M undt
diamonds, as a Sun Franciscan says
he can do. may he a scientific triumph,
hut it tanks like u waste of diamonds.
Fashion's Vogue Bring
the Ostrich Back Again
Ostrich has come back into fashion.
Not ouly millinery reflects the revival
of the ostrich vogue, hut costuming
throughout Is luvisbly giirultured with
ostrich fringe, tassels and other novel
ty effects. Aa a consequence of this
favor for ostrich the old-fashioned os
trich boa is now new fashioned.
Portrait effects through ostrich
placements are part of the charm In
millinery this season. The little roll
brimmed model In the picture says
au turner In Its strnw facing, while It
bespeaks Autumn in Its black silk
plush Crown ; therefore It Is an Ideal
nildsenson type.
