It is glaringly obvious that the bit- ing of finger nails, the moistening of fingers in turning the pages of a book, and similar half-conscious acts greatly enhance the opportunities for planting undesirable germs where they can mul- "tiply,” says the Journal of the Ameri- can Medical Association. “On the fingers they may be harmiess; trans- ferred to the mouth they have & wide field for development: b “The soiling-of the hands is impos- sible to avold altogether, but the swal- lowing of germs from one’s own soiled hands Is largely under individual com- trol. “It may fairly be assumed that the most useful safeguards against this form of disease transmission are to be found in such practices as hand wash- ing and in refraining from using the tongue or the lips as a moistening-pad, rather than in hysterical attempts at avoidance of g1l hand contamination. Children are best protected through; the inculcation of similar desirable habits at an early age. In a word, some degree of hand-contamination is: unavoidable; but the transference of' the contaminating germs to the mouth; is largely under fndividual control andi is subject to the powerful influence of! early-formed habit.” First In the Field.

YWhen they began to dig out silver by the ton from the Comstock group of mines, Nevada lost Its original name of “the Sagebrush State,” and became known to the whole world as the “Stiver State.” But recent developments in the Di- vide district scem to indicate another change of name, for they do say that the gold s yo thick just a little under the surface that the owners of the mines refuse to dig lest they be ruined by the excess profits tax. They just take out a shovelful from time to time to pay living expenses, and sit tight over the hole where they took it out till they need a little more. Possibly, also, these mine owners are influenced by patriotism, as not wish- ing to distusb values by flooding the world with gold and thus adding to the economic confusion. Californla has hitherto taken pride in callihg it- self the Golden state, but even in Ne- vada they are getting ready to de- mand the.belt and title and say they are golng to get it. And with all due allowance for new- born enthusiasm and for the pic- turesque way én which prosperous miners are wont to express them- selves, if a tenth of what ‘is claimed Is true—and it may be—we may ex- .| pect the people of Nevada to change from the most loyal of silverites tc the most determined and irreconcil- able gold bugs.

After all, what rignt had he to clalm this favored woman's love, so willlngly given? Be- tween her ways and the ways of his peuple, a great gulf was fixed, and in the eagerness of his love for Madeline he had been too cowardly to refer to the humbleness:of his old home, where his father still lived. James Burnle had clilmbed rapidly the ladder of success and would gladly have shared its benefits with the rug- ged old Scotchman who stubbornly re- fused them all. “I'll live as I like to'live, Jamle,” he bad said. “New ways and new friends would bring no new pleasures.” So James continued in his splendid bachelor apartment in the city, while old Burnle Senior went happily about his household duties just a little far- ther away, keeping the floors as clean and the dishes as shining as when his faithful wife had been there to ful- fill these duties. But the weekly vis- its of the younger James, were to him- self a continual source of humiliation. When he had first met Madeline, he had adored her from afar, never dreaming that this crowning conquest might be his. Madeline, the accomplished, rearcd in luxury, as mother and grandmother had been before her. Her love had gone out to join him as naturally as a flower secks the sun, and their be- trothal was Inevitable. Now, only, as they planned their future together, dld he compare mentally this father of lers, this polished accustomed man of .a successful world, with the con- tented Scotchman bending in comfort- ably shabhy clothes over his flower- beds, or whistling cheerlily as he placed the blue cups back In thelr cupboard. What would Madeline say—what would she think—when he must bring this stooped old figure into her pres- ence and present him as his father; hers, to be. Jamie Burnle was not a snob. In his soul he loathed himself for the trepidation this fancled picture occa- sfoned. So, time went on, and In his anxiety he ncglected to urge the set- ting of the wedding day. The entertainments with which Mad- eline's irreproachable friends favored the engaged couple were brilliant and many. But beneath the strain of gay- ety, perhaps, the girl's health began to fail; the color left her cheeks, and her eyes scemed to take on an appeal- ing light, James Burnie and Mad- cline’s futher were alike concerned. It was after the doctor had forbid- den the acceptance of Invitations, and suggested long.rides In the open air instead, that the pretty color came back again, and Madeline's spirits grew brighter accordingly.: James Burnie often wondered at the curious looks she gave him. He won- dered too, at a sort of gentle softness In her manner, Never had she been s endearing ; more and more like a cloud before the sun of his happiness was the consciousness of this growing shame of hjs—of the inevitable fact of his crude old father. And then one evening when James Burnle called Madeline came, serlously to sit upon tho garden bench at his side. “I have had such a glurfously rest ful afternoon.” she sald “one of man: fn the same wpy. It has been like leaving the stage of n theater for a play, Jumes. and goli: back Into real life—simple lfe, and sweet.” Madecline threw out Ler arm: with a free gesture. “A place, where no critical audience forever awalts one’s acting. So, T cast agide my ncting, James, and I was just a tired girl, comforted and cheered hy the kindest human heart that ever beat, It hus been an experience, James. to meet such a nobly simple soul,” she sald. ) “During one of my first afternoon drives I became faint and left my chr in the road, while I asked at » Iittle cottage for some milk to drink. An old Scotchman who keeps house there alone brought it to me. But first I must obey his commands and take the milk seated in a great comfy chalr on the porch. Afterwards, I must see kis neat house and his gdrden, and as we walked together his shrewd old eyes seemed to read my very life. 1 aid not need to tell him that my doc- tor had ordered rest and country air, ~or that I was sick unto death of com- mittees and varfous public affajrs. The old Scotchman knew it all--he had read it In my face. And he pianned with a planning which I did not real- ize at the time, that I must stop to- morrow to pick the big roses In his garden, and the next day, to look at his purple plum-laden tree. So every day I came to rest in the bolstered old chalr on the porch with the glass of cream walting and growing larger each time, while the dld man talked to me of life, of books, of people, until T feit that I had failed before in much knowl- edge that was true and needful. He spoke of his hoy, and his tone was as tender as it was-proud.” Madeline stood up, her eyes were shining. o . “My dear old man, tells me that-his pame {8 Jumes Burnie.

MODELS FOR ALL OCCASIONS Many Shades of Light Blue Heretofore 8eldom Seen Are Coming Into Use—Lace Is Used Ex- tensively. What did we wear before georgette crepe was invented? Experiment as we will with every other material, we come back to this with joy and com- fort, recognizing the service and beau- ty few other fabrics offer, notes a prominent fashion correspondent. Of more than usual loveliness are the gorgeous’ frocks being displayed for mere or less elaborate occasions. While many seem to have tired some- what of the heavily beaded dresses so lopg esteemed, others seek them out assiduously, seeming to prefer the chemise (ype with Its beading to all other gowns of thin material. Now that the blue dyes are of such uncertain quality, and few of the man- ufacturers will sell them with a guar- antee of their lasting attributes, the dark blues are harder to find, and therefore we notlce many variations of the blue shades which have not been often seen. For Instance, the exquisite horizon blue of the French uniforms developed- in georgette makes ideal dresses for country club wear. One just from France has an apron effect across the front made by placing row after row of blond footing one above the other from de hem of the skirt almost to the waist. This skirt, by the way, deviates somewhat from the straight up and down effect of the majority and seems to be cut after the circular fashion of several seasons ngo. The rows of the footing which form the apron, line on the front end at the sides of the skirt just as an apron would do. The extra fullness of the skirt Is gathered at the back, where a haundsome sash of blue satin of the ex- net shde of the georgette Is tled in a large bow with long loops and ends. The waist has a plastron in front hordered at each slde with a bit of the narrow footing. The collar falls away from the throat at the front in a be- coming depth and is a shallow bit of the blue bordered with the footing at the back of the neck. The sleeves are longer than the French, which persistently reveal the elbow at just the most awkward A printed navy gecrgette in slender, graceful lines. It is a cool costume, appropriate for house, street and semiformal wear. length. The footing also trims these In a straight around band at the cuff over the elbow. Footing Used Extensively. Footing is extensively used this sea- son. There are many varieties. The finest is called French blond, and has a narrew edge like French seaming braid as a finish. The texture of this is extremely fine, like the threads in real lace. All footing is narrow, sel- dom over two inches wide. The point d’esprit, the plain white or the black, ts introduced on every part of the frock. Some of the prettiest collars one can find are made of bands of footing guthered into a puff and placed bhetween rows of fine valenciennes lace. But to return to our georgettes, £ companion dress to the blue beauty I have been describing repeats the skirt except far the bands of fonting. The waist is of the plainest shirtwaist type, reheved hy bands of the fash- fonable Margot Iace pluced in perpen- dicular manner so as to forw an entire Jacket effect, the ends of which appear R T o te TP B At Ut B K e
