WOMAN’S PAGE.’ Colors for Serviceable Clothes BY MARY MARSHALL. The conviction was once well estab- lished that serviceable clothes ought 1o be of serviceable tones. Umbrellas and rubbers were invariably black, raincoats were of dark gray or drab shade of brown. One chose a dark hat as one could possibly look at the jour- ney’s end. If perchance one did wear a frock of gay or cheerful hue there was the inevitable dust gzat—of a pain- fully unbecoming shadc™of light yel- lowish beige—to wear over it. Now in this country at least has come about a definite change in colors chosen for serviceable clothes. ~We realize that dark skies are rot half so depressing when we wear a colorful raincoat and carry an umbrella that throws reflected patches of red or green or blue on the wet pavement. ‘There are new tweed coats for travel quite obviously of the knockabout sort that are of _heerful tones of red, or blue, or yellow beige. In actual use you will find that they do not show the dust or grime of wear a bit more quickly than the coats of the drabber sort. There are, of course, and doubtless always will be women who feel better dressed and more content when dressed in dark, dull, inconspicuous colors— while there are others who gladly add the touch of color to the landscape even at the risk of making themselves a little conspicuous, or of being identi- fied by the color of the coat they are A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN. The Age Dead-Line. Text: “Lo, I am this day four- score and five years old. As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.”—Joshua xiv: 10-11. It was Caleb speaking. Some thought he had reached the age dead-line and should be retired. But Caleb had no thought of such a thing. Suppose, however, he had been compelled to re- tire? There would have been a differ- ent chapter to read in the subsequent history of Israel. Old as he was, Caleb continued to play a vital part in the nation’s progress and campaigns of conquest in Canaan. In many battles, and in many crises in the affairs of the nation, his seasoned judgment and ripened experience proved to be of in- calculable value. Of late there has been a good deal of discussion about the age dead-line in modern business and industry.

Who can help but feel sorry for the woman who announces defiantly ber house will be built without the aid of an architect? Those familiar with the problems of building a home know how silly that sort of talk is. One might just as well go cruising without a navigator, or go flying without a piiot. Architects can save one money from the very start. They can and will ad- vise you about the purchase of land, 5o far as it its suitability is concerned. Much expensive construction would have been avolded if this sort of advice were universally sought. How many women know anything about difficult rock or water conditions, extensive grad- ing, inconvenlent sewers, water supply, and other factors that swell construc- tion costs? Only a trained and skilled architect Xknows the good qualities of various ma- terials, and where one material is more economical to use than another. You may be sure, too, your building when completed will conform to the laws of the Building Code. ‘We know of few women qualified to #elect & contractor, or familiar enough with construction costs to disunguish between a fair and an exorbitant charge. Architects are familiar with these facts, and have as well a knowl- edge of contractors that are experienced, competent and responsible. Few of us can tell when work is being done according to specifications, or can recognize errors in the course of construction. An architect inspects your house regularly during the process of building, and corrects errors before they become costly. It matters greatly to our purse whether a_ house is four or five feet longer or shorter, and an architect ap- preciating the relation of size to cost, can utilize every inch of space built upon. It matters also that one's house be approved by the Board of Fire ‘Underwriters as well as local zoning and other commissions. Usually the cost of an architect amounts to about six to 15 per cent of the cost of the building. The larger the building the smaller the percentage of the fee As a matter of fact, an erchitect effects savings which make his charge cost you nothing.

CRAIG. July 12, 1862.—At the request of Pres- ident Lincoln the Senators and Repre- sentatives from the border slaveholding States met him today and listened to him read a paper he had prepared, which is understood to have been an appeal to them to take an open and avowed position in favor of the prompt initiation by their respective States of the policy of prospective, gradual eman- cipation and colonization of the slaves with pecuniary aid from the genaral rnment. G President 1s said to have dwelt with great earnestness upon the influ- ence such action could not fail to have in suppressing the spread of extreme abolition doctrines at the North which have assumed serious proportions through the prolongation of the present Civil War. “The reading of the paper, which was replete with the kindliest sentiments, was listened to with great attention by the Senators and Representatives and with reciprocal cordiality by most of hem. A gl‘l‘bsequemly the Senators and Repre- sentatives from the border slaveholding ©s assembled for consultation upon ot ject and selected a_committee to frame a reply to President Lincoln's address. It is understood that among those on ihe committee are Wickliffe of Kentueky, Noell of Missourl, Cris- field of Maryland, Fisher of Delaware Mallory of Kentucky. s meeting at the White House be- tween the President and members of Congress from the border slaveholding States was designed, it is said, to be a private and informal conference, out of which the President hopes some prectical plan for dealing with the slave questicn may grow.

WORLD FAMOUS STORIES TO A YOU? BY MARK TWAIN, (Mark Twain, whose real name was Samuel Langhorne —Clemens, 1835-1910, was_ an American_humorist. author of “Tom Saw- Huckleberry _ PFinn" “Innocents " “Yankee m King Arthur's Court,” 1 etc.) And so you think a baby is a thing | of beauty and a joy forever? Well, the | magnifying idea is pleasing, but not original; every cow thinks the same of its own calf. Perhaps the cow may not think it so elegantly, but still she thinks it, never- theless. I honor the cow for it. ‘We all honor this touching maternal instict wherever we find it, be it in the home of luxury or in the humble cow- shed. But really, madam, when I come | to examine the matter in all its bear- ings, I find that the correctness of your assertion does not assert ftselfl in all cases. A soiled baby. with a neglected nose, cannot be conscientiously regarded as ' a thing of beauty; and inasmuch as babyhood spans but three short years, by is competent to be a joy “for- 1t pains me thus to demolish two- thirds of your pretty sentiments in a single sentence: but the position I hold in this chair requires that I shall not permit you to deceive and mislead the public with your plausible figures of speech. I know a female baby, aged 18 months, in this city, which cannot | " 24 hours on a /| hold out as a “jo stretch, let alone “forever.” And it possesses some of the most remarkable eccentricities of character and appe- tite that have ever fallen under my notice, I will set down here a state- ment of this infant’s operations (con- celved, planned, and carried out by itself, and without suggestion or as- sistance from its mother or any one else), during a single day: and what I shall say can be substantiated by the sworn testimony of witnesses. It commenced by eating one dozen large blue-mass pills, box and all; then it fell down a flight of stairs and rose with a blue and purple knot on its forehead, after which it proceeded in quest of further refreshment and amusement. It found a glass trinket ornamented with brasswork—smashed up and ate the glass, and then swallowed the brass. Then it drank about 20 drops of laud: num, and more than a dozen table- spoonfuls of strong spirits of camphor. The reason why it took no more lau danum was because there was no more to take. Atter this it lay down on its back. and shoved five or six inches of a silver-headed whalebone can down its throat; got it fast there, and it was all its mother could do to pull the cane out again, without pulling out some of the child ‘with it. Then being hungry for glass again. it broke up several wine-glasses, and fell to eating and swallowing the frag- ments, not minding a cut or two. Then it ate a quantity of butter, pepper, salt, and California matches, actually tak- ing a spoonful of butter, a spoonful of salt, a spoonful of pepper and three or|(our lucifer matches at each mouth- ful. . (I will remark here that this thing of beauty likes painted German Iluci. fers, and eats all she can get of them but she prefers California matches, which I regard as a compliment to our home manufacturers of more than or- dinary value, coming, as it does, from one who is too young to flatter.) ‘Then she washed her head with soap and water, and afterward ate what soap was left, and drank as much of the suds as she had room for; after which she sallied forth and took the cow fami- liarly by the tail and got kicked heels over head. At odd times during the day, when this joy forever happened to have I nothing particular in hand, she put in the time by clinbing up on places, and falling down off them, uniformly dam- aging herself in the operation.

At the | age of six he was filled with wonder | al the process by which the goose, set- | ting on her eggs, hatched them out.| Soon after, Tommy was missing. His father, Samuel Edison, making an anx- fous search, found him in the barn, sitting patiently in a nest of hay. | He was tryigg to hatch out a large quantity of goose and hen eggs. The boy, whg was to give the world the incandescent lamp, the phono- graph, and numerous other great in- ventions, started to work early in life. However, he first had time to enjoy | the usual adventures of childhood. They were often_ fraught with disaster. It is a wonder he survived. One day he fell in a canal and, be- | ing unable to swim, was nearly drowned before he was dragged out. Falling into the wheat pit of a grain elevator, he was almost smothered rade shortened it with an axe and so lost part of a finger. | He built a fire in a barn, the flames | spread and devoured the structure, and | while he escaped, he suffered 2n un- | pleasant punishment. He was whipped in the public square as a warning. One encounter was painful but had | funny aspects, at which even he had to laugh. He was digging out a nest of bumble bees near the orchard fence | when a big ram, seeing him most favor- | ably placed for a good buiting, charged | dovn on him. Tommy managed to | get over the fence, evading a second charge, but couldn't sit down com- fortably for a couple of days, as a re- sult of the first. Edison already was conducting lab- | oratory experiments when he went to work as & news butcher on the Por: Huron-Detroit train. In those days the baggage car was divided into three compartments—one for baggage, one for mail and one for smoking. But the Iatter, being unventilated, was not used, and so the conductor kindly allowed Tommy to set up his apparatus in it. He had plenty of time, during the three-nour run, to experiment.
