For the first time in her life Delia
prescribed J^/daw y wished she had been trained in some
m kind of business. A^l the women in
England seemed to be capable of
doing some work in the great war
crisis, and all the Americans living
in London were doing their utmost
to help, yet Delia Thorne could do
nothing.
“Twenty thousand women have
registered themselves as capable of
helping in some capacity or another,
and I can’t even use a typewriter in-
telligently or figure sufficiently well
to sell ribbons behind a counter.”
Delia thrust this appalling fact be-
fore her own mental outlook a hun-
dred times a day. She worked her-
self into a fervor of resentment
against the system of development,
or lack of development, that sur-
rounded the idle rich. For Delia wras
one of the idle rich.
A letter which reached the honor-
able secretary of the Woman's Emer-
gency corps was the outcome of De-
lia’s frantic desire to do something
and to become a part of the great
struggling nation.
The honorable secretary, Miss
Diana Mershon, tossed the letter to
her brother, who sat working labo-
riously over the day’s correspondence.
Had Jack Mershon possessed half of
the robust supply of health with which
his handsome sister was endowed, he
would have been in the continental
trenches with his comrades.
“There is a girl after your own
heart, Jack,” laughed Diana. Diana
Mershon was an avowed suffragette,
a ghccessful organizer, afid she could
make a telling speech before a multi-
tude of people, but knew she would
be a failure as a home-maker.
Jack smiled at trifle wistfully and
picked up the dainty little letter.
“Hon. Secretary, Dear Madam," he
read, “I am one of the old-fashioned,
ultra-feminine type of girls. Is there
anything you could suggest my doing
to help the government war service?
I can do absolutely nothing except
keep house, since I have been perfect-
ly trained for that purpose. I would
be glad to keep house for some of you
fortunate women who are out in the
busy world; that I can do. Very sin-
cerely, Delia Thorne.”
Diana Mershon wondered, as her
brother read this letter, if the thought
it had inspired in her own mind would
be suggested to him also. When he
looked up she knew that it had.
‘Bully idea!” he exclaimed, 6s if
Diana had alreadjLvoiced her decision.
“We both need fk intelligent person
to take our household in charge, don’t
we Di?”
She smiled a bit wistfully as she
gazed at her brother.
“Poor old Jack, I know I have made
rather a mess of homemaking. If
Delia Thorne can make an orderly
home for us she will be doing her
part in the Woman’s Emergency
corps. I want a real home as much
as you, but I don’t seem to know just

No Mori Advanced
Expense Money
*By Associated .Press.)
Austin, Texas, Aug. 20.—Hereafter
state officials and employes will not
be permitted to draw on the state
treasury for expense money for trav-
eling on state business in advance of
the actual incurring of such ex-^
penses, according to Comptroller. I
Terrell.
Examination of the records of the
comptroller’s department, it is said,
discloses the custom has been for
many employes and officials of Texas
to draw expense funds in advance,
filing at a later date an itemized
statement of such expenses.
Mr. Terrell says there is no pro-
vision under the lq^r for this man-
ner of bundling state funds, and
hereafter the department will insist
upon having the regular expense ac-
count statements before paying the
same.

Tomorrow the local department will

NEW HATS AND HAIRDRESSING
BRITISH AND FRENCH LEADERS MEET
Latest Model In Millinery Permits Gen-
erous Glimpse of Coil in Most
Becoming Coiffure.
Since hats remain small and one
has not room to tuck up apparently
u n cons idered
hair into the
crowns, new
methods of hair-
dressing have
been resorted
to. By rolling
it up in a pretty
knot at the back
of the neck a
glimpse of the
coiffure is al-
lowed beneath
the hat, and the
very becoming'
slicked-back ar-
rangement that
suggested ebb
tide on a sloping beach has been
abandoned, and women remind one
less vividly of the wooden Noah’s ark
ladies and gentlemen wThose hair was
varnished on, you know.
The sketch is illustrative of the
new hairdressing, and also shows a
smart tailored hat of black lisere
straw to» wear with one's summer
tailored suit or dresses. The brim
which turns up closely all around
the head, is cut out at either side, al-
lowing a view of the black taffeta
crown and forming a sort of little
cranny for the quills of black taf-
feta that trim the sides. These are
knotted at the base, with the wing
part wired visibly. The one on the
left stands more erect than the other,
but must not look too stiff. They can
be faced with white if desired, as
many of the ribbon trimmings are, or
i kept all black, according to require-
ments.
The model is equally good' for col-
ors, or would be most attractive if
carried out in all white.
Calais was the scene of an interesting meeting when M. Millerand (second from left), the French minister, met
Lord Balfour (on the extreme left), first lord of the British admiralty, to discuss with Generals Joffre, French and
Augagneur a new plan of campaign against the Austro-German forces. General Joffre is in the center foreground.
Mineral French is on right in background conversing with General Augagneuy.
NEW NAMES FOR OLD COLORS
“You can do everything else
t well, Di,” he said fondly. “Here you
‘are about to help another poor soul
who is floundering about in the world.
By Jove, you’re a brick!” Jack Mer-
shon never quite knew whether it was
admiration for his sister or relief in
the prospect of having an old-fash-
ioned woman in his household that
drew forth his enthusiasm on this oc-
casion.
When Delia arrived at the head-
quarters of the corps in answer to
Diana Mershon’s letter, she felt
strangely elated. She had hungered so
long to be of some service to some
one that she entered Miss Mershon’s
office with a smile on her lips and a
song in her heart.
“I feel that you are domg this al-
most out of charity,” , Delia said to
Miss Mershon, when arrangements for
her to take charge of the big, untidy-
kept home had been made.
“No, I have not,” Diana assured
her frankly. “My brother”— she
glanced over at Jack who was trying
his best not to stare at the new re-
cruit—“requires a real home. If you
can transform the four walls of this
house into a real home for my brother
and me I believe you will be doing as
great a good for the country as any
business woman could do.”
“I feel sure I can do that,” Della
agreed shyly, but with a look of con-
fidence in her earnest eyes.
A month later Jack and Diana went
about their daily tasks free and rein-
vigorated. .Gradually the four walls
of the Mershon house became home
indeed, and Delia was directly respon-
sible for the metamorphosis. She ha5
been given the opportunity to exer-
cise her one talent and she had suc-
ceeded even beyond her expectation.
“How shall we ever do without
her?” Diana said to Jack one day
while they were still at the office.
“What will become of us when she
leaves us?”
There was a look of positive ter-
ror in her eyes and her voice was
decidedly unsteady.
Jack smiled placidly. "Dear old Di,"
he said tenderly, “she will never
leave us. I have already provided
against such a frightful possibility.
She has promised to marry me.”

Modistes Have Put Forth Wiles That

Femininity.
“What’s in a nafese?” Much! For
instance, bleu de soldat sound# much
more chic and entrancing to wear in
time of war than “soft gray blue,” as
it would be called in the piping times
of peace. Bleu de soldat is high
sounding and stirs our martial ard#r,
even to the point of ordering a
and skirt of it forthwith. While “sj
color” might leave us cold, di
naught gray, which is its wartime
briquet, has a topical flavor
arouses recognition and Interest,
most languid. Who co\
frock of bisque, or mastiSM
blue, of a gown of faille
And how we should frown at the
saic realist who ventured to allude to
it as “just silk!”
“A rose by any other name would
smell as sweet,” as the poet saith, but
a new name can imr*irt a wonderful
cachet to an old color. What a vogue
the old snufT brown has had under
the elegant French title of tete de
negre; while as snuff brown Mt
would have been unthinkable. Under
the majestic appellation of “royel” one
of the ugliest and most trying of blues
enjoys an extraordinary amount of
patronage; and while magenta is cut
dead under that nomenclature, it be-
comes quite modish while masquerad-
ing as petunia or one of the fuchsia
shades.

The why and wherefore of these
things would seem to possess some
psychological interest.

For toothache, soak a bit of medicat-
ed cotton in oil of cloves or oil of
wintergreen, and gently press into the
cavity, and where this is absent bathe
the gum and try the hot water bag.
To prevent or cure those wind
freckles make a lotion by mixing equal
parts of honey and lemon juice, or
honey and eau de cologne, together,
and massage it into the face before go-
ing out
Put a tablespoonful of ammonia into
a quart of water; wash your brushes
and combs in this and all grease and
dirt will disappear. Rinse, shake and
dry in the sun or by the fire.
Drink lemonade freely during the
summer, but do not have it too sweet
It quenches thirst better than water
when one is ironing or doing house-
hold work that creates thirst on hot
summer days.
In view of the alarming increase in
heart and arterial diseases, nervous
troubles and insanity, as well as can-
cer, it is at least comforting to find
frem recent statistics that the mortal-
ity from diphtheria and cerebro-spinal
meningitis has been reduced nearly' 60
per cejy: in New York alone since anti-
toxin was first understood. True
cholera infantum, too, is rarely seen
now that baby feeding bas become a
science, while the great epidemics of
typhus and smallpox which, used to
sweep the country are practically un-
known.
There is an excellent Old skin tonic
used for generations which will prob-
ably be of interest to the woman
readers of this page. It may be pre-
pared at home and contains nothing
that is in the least bit harmful to the
face, which is more than can be said
of so many of the so-called skin tonics
on the market. Make a bag of cheese-
cloth, double thickness, and fill it with
bran, a tablespoonful of orris root and
a half cake of castile soap chopped up
fine. This bag may be used in tfie
bath and on the face and makes the
skin smooth, white and firm.
Interest in tire celebration of Labor
Day is increasing as the time draws
nearer to hand. Manyr events are
being arranged fer the celebration
of this, the only national holiday of
laboring men and women.

The citizens of Palestine arp asked
rally to tne assistance of the or-
d forces in this city and make
tntfy a day of pleasure to
Palestine, as well as
the many visitors expected here for
the day. Do not let anything get in
the way of your joining in the great
basket picnic and celebration. Have
the good ladies at your home prepare
a. great big basket of dinner, go out
to Reagan Park and spend the whole
day with the men who do the work
j of this city. Rich and poor alike are
; most cordially invited to come out
’ and enjoy the program of the day,
and spend one day in helping to
; show Palestine’s hospitality.
Arrangements have been perfected
for a wrestling match between Pet
■ Brown of Taylor and Ben Parrish of
Wichita Falls, which promWes to be
one of the features of the day. Buy
your tickets in advance to be sure
you get to see this contest of man-
hood’s strength and tact.
The queen contesf is growing
more interesting as th£ time draws
near for the final vote, and it is im-
portant that the friends of the can-

contest, and if you are interested.

Mr. Attaway reports that the ath-
