Its appeal to the eternal feminine is as certain as the sunrise, no more to be resisted than that of flower3 or children. This year not n soul in the household has been overlooked there is something made of ribbon from everybody from the baby to grandpa. To begin with there nre innumerable bags knitting, sewing, shopping bags, bags to hold handkerchiefs, slippers, etc., party and opera bags. There are small lamp and candle shades, and little folding screens to stand on the reading, or dressing table. There are glorious cushions for bedroom lounges or the living room, and an army of bows of all sorts. There are the per ennial corsage roses and other flow ers,, and small nosegays of little rib bon flowers for the coat or fur neck piece, to be worn on the street. In the little group of novelties pic tured hero there are corsage orna ments and a small bit of neckwear. The ribbon rose is made of pink satin ribbon In two (shades, cut into short lengths to form the petals. It is not difficult to make when the. breach Is once acquired. Millinery stems and foliage and millinery stamens are used with ribbon flowers. The center of the rose is formed by folding the dark er shade in-the ribbon and wrapping it about the end of th rubber stem.

I 1 i " & 1 i 'if ' v i - T2" "W SEEKING SITE TO FIT HOME fdany People Do Not Stop to Think at j All of the Vast Importance of i the House's Setting. Most of the people who are saving , to build a house the sort they have dreamed of possessing give so much attention to the actual plans of the dwelling that they do not stop to think at all of the vast Importance of the house's setting. They are joys and profits In site hunting that the average home-builder Mho Is willing to content himself with the first strip of land in a desir able neighborhood with which his real estate dealer confronts him never guesses. Obviously the average city lot s the "flat, treeless, GO by 100," on which, of course, then. Is little pos sible latitude in building. The house must be oblong and staid on one of its ends about In the center of the lot, with on inconsequential margin on either ,slde, and a flower-trimmed square of green in front and rear. There are many streets of this type in every suburb. But in every suburb also there are odd corners that have been passed by as unsuitable. Like the neglected creed bods In the farmer's fklds, they are geuerally of odd shapes and wooded, the hand of the "Improver" having passed them as hopeless. In rural districts where land Is rated by its cultlvatable aresi, these are literally waste and can often be bought for very Uttle. One of the least appreciated kind of sites for a home is the gully or draw. Everywhere among the hills there are places where the waters have cut out a bed to the rocks and a stream splashes swiftly downward nmong the trees. There are few greater outdoor joys for folk who like to plan things themselves and execute them with their own hands than the development of one of these spots. If yon have n definite plan for your house in mind before yon have nn Idea for the site, you should seek your site to fit the home. A chateau would be out of place where a bungalow cot tage would be wholly at ease.' A barn might be badly misplaced on the ideal site for a farmhouse. . 1 But site hunting untrammeled by aught save the limits of oue's Imag iuation Is great fun and a liberal edu cation. HOME SHOULD BE EXPRESSIVE Character of th,e Owner Shows In the Architecture of the Dwelling and the Decorations Within. The essential In the art of home building Is the ability to suit your own taste to express your own nature. Your taste may not ot all coincide with that of your neighbor, but that is not important. There fire as many indi vidual expressions of the' art that is within one as there are leaves on a tree and there is no good reason why the expression of Jho individual should not continue in the home Itself. Imagine what a thrilling adventure In human nature all of us might have in the course of a day spent in making calls If our neighbors and acquaint ances only allowed their sou's and minds to express themselves in the houses they build and furnish, says an exchange. It is not hard to Imagine such au adventure, for about every one has seen one such home. Put these are by no means frequently found. For people's characters do show in their homes in the architecture of the dwelling, the decorations within, the selection of the furulture, even in the pictures and the way they are hung. To persons who are not especially ob servant this fact is as plain as the fact , that one can always detect the pres-1 ence of feminine lingtrs in the arrange- j ment of the brlc-a-brae, the flowers or j vstse the stand or the bonks and 'magazines on the library table. The -thing is so palpably human that it Is j almost impossible not to recognize It. I Duty of the Community. A happier childhood, better provis ions for play, better surroundings, greater bodily vigor and a stronger spirit, less hampered by gathering i doubts, are gifts which the commit- I nlty, as the fairy godmother of the rising generation, can lay at the cra dle of every child la America. The community that lists nut the vision, the loving kindness and the plain common sense to mstke the child better fitted to tight off the dwibts and the fears of the fulure, commits a crime against itself as 'veil as against its children.

"Why is it," inquired the irate par ent, "that you are at the. bottom of the class?" "I can't see that It makes any differ ence whether I am at the top or the bottom," replied Jimmy pacifically. "You know they teach Just the sanif tt b th ends." SaysTIii$ Lady Who Had to Sup port Family of Four. Read Below Her Statement About Cardui. Tallapoosa, Ga. Mrs. Sallie Eidson, of this place, writes: "I was In very poor health, all run-down, nervous, had fainting spells, dizziness and heart fluttering. I had these symp toms usually at my . . . times. I had a very hard time, working for seven years in a hotel after my fsither died. I had to support our family of four. I rviid the Birthday Almanac and thought I would begin taking Cardul. I received good benefit from It. I am sure It will do all that It claims to do. I took three or four bottles before it began to show effects. After that I Improved rapidly and gained in health and strength. I took nine bottles in all. This is the only time I have taken it. I was down to 10S pounds and I gained to 122. I felt like a new woman. I couldn't sleep before and had to be rubbed, I would get so nerv ous and numb. And all this was 6topped by Cardul." The true value of a medicine can be determined only by the results ob tained from Its actual use. The thou sands of letters we have received every year for many years from grateful users of Cardul, are powerful tributes to lis worth and effectiveness. If you suffer from womanly ail ments, try Cardul, the woman's tonic. Adv. As Old as His Son. Sixty days in the workhouse was the sentence, but it had nothing to do with the startling reply of the pris oner, standing before Judge Pugh to receive justice on a chsirgo of assault, relates the Philadelphia Press. The usual number of questions was asked. Then the judge Inquired: "Your father living?" "Yes." "How old is he?" "Same age as me." Judge Pugh glared. "I said how old Is your 'father?" "As old 11s I am, your honor." "Take care!" warned the court. "Now, answer properly." "I have," said the prisoner. "lie be came my father the same day I became his son."
