Women volunteers to serve on reg istration day, September 12, and their rnumber totals up close to 1,000, were divided between the opening classes for registrars at the public library under the instruction by Miss Mar garet Vincent; the luncheon for the national executive secretary of the Council of Defense, Mrs. Jra Couch Wood of , v ashniKton, at the Com mercial club, and the meeting at the council chamber in the city hall, which she addressed this afternoon Instead of coining in last night from Lincoln with the Omaha delegation to the state defense meeting. Mrs. Wood motored in from Lincoln this morning with some friends. The luncheon was perforce infor mal and without speeches on account of the many things occupying women today.

Twenty-five years after the mar riage of Mr. and Mrs. A: L. Patrick in Chicago, their daughter Elanor was wedded at 4 o'clock this after noon to Mr. Cdwiu Eells of Tacoma, Wash. Rev. H. R.

The marriage lines were read before an improvised floral altar of yellow roses and smilax, to the ac companiment of solft harp music played by Miss Marie Swanson. The bride wore a pretty gown of white net and taffeta but no veil, and carried a shower or bridal roses. Miss Louise Damon, her only attendant, was gowned in an orchid shade and carried a colonial boquet. Mr. Hebert Mayer of Chicago, an Oberlin college class mate of both Miss Patrick and Mr. Eells, was best man. The bridegroom's sister, Miss Ida Eells came on from the west on Sat urday with her brother. Other out-of-town guests were W. J.

Bailey Says He Was Only Whistling Favorite Tune Zeb Bailey, 4535 North Thirty-oixth avenue, a floor man at the Carpenter Paper company, who was arrested Tuesday on a charge of disturbing the peace by whistling at and annoy ing Mrs. Alma McMichael, 3822 North Fortieth avenue, at 9:10 Monday eve ning, pleaded not guilty - in police court. 4 ' - r ' - His trial was continued to Sep tember 12. Bailey, who is an Eng lishman, asserted that it is a favorite practice of his to whistle at all times, and that he was trilling "Jesus, Come Into My Heart," at the time when he was charged with attempting to sig nal to Mrs. McMichael BE she ever so studious, there isn't a school girl living who doesn't thrill at the pos sibilities offered by a charming big, "floppy" hat. Here is one so simple, so graceful and withal so chic 'that it cannot help being becoming to any type of youthful face. The hat is large and of a beautiful soft quality black felt, and there is nothing short of genius in the deftness with which its designer has ar ranged the handsome ribbon trimming. Very wide, very blue and very brocaded, it is folded here and there, then brought around the hat with a sweeping flare that causes a most engaging little tilt. HERE'S a trig little combination for winter sports wear. At first glance it might seem a charming French widow's bonnet, but that's due to the demure draping of it. In truth it fits the head so snugly and the scarf can be tucked so cozily around the neck that one will be tempted to wish for many zippy, cold days in which to demonstrate its piquant charm and comfiness. Seal-brown velvet is employed in the scarf and bonnet, and when the blustering winds interfere they will prove that the tiny touch of Indian blue embroidery on each practi cal little pocket, takes its cue from a soft satin lining of the same color. Silk tassels of seal brown finish the ends. Both hats and dresses arc trimmed with fringe in many instances, and not only silk but chenille fringe is em ployed. A revival of the bustle of 1890 is bcing attempted not by the old fashioned method of pads and wires, however, but by the clever draping of the fabrics. The vogue of embroidery as a gar ment trimming is not gone by any means, for effective designs done in chenille and worsted are used to brighten up the conservative colors of autumn suits and dresses. Voile and crepe Georgette are pop ular for blouses or for long-sleeved guimpes and no color is more popu lar than blue blue in many shades, froni the deepest sapphire to the most delicate turquoise. Smart new dress models of silk, satin and cloth have fitted sleeves of the fabric, which absolutely neces sitates the use of dress shields if women are to possess the charm of cleanliness, which is a vital asset to good dressing. Filet lace is being used rather ex tensively, for collars and collar and cuff sets arc of this lovely lace. And interesting new blouses are made en tirely of filet, untrimnied, except for sprays of hand embroidery, worked -directly upon the lace. --1 There is an effort to change the sil houette of the figure by the changing1 of the sleeve line. Many models have sleeves fulled into the armhole. Sleeves in coats and some suits arej raglan shape, others are put in with slightly dropped shoulder lines and cut low under the arms. " Knitted sport hats are to be Hit j fad for September and October wear! And after all, if one can knit a war helmet one ought to be able to man age a new golf hat. Whole hats of knitted worsted are mounted over buckram frame's in sailor or mush room shape, and some young women, fancying the special shapes of their summer sport bats, are knitting hard to get them covered by fall. HeaVy crepe veils have almost been abandoned with mourning garb. The modern veil is of Brussels net silk net, of course and has a deep or narrow crepe border, according to the taste of the wearer or the period of mourning. The veil is supposed to be worn over tlif facc for the first six months, and thrown Back from the face during the second six months. Alter that a pleated veil, is worn at the back and a bordered face veil supplements it. Look out for badly shaped stock ings these days, when prices are high and qualities low. Measure every stocking you buy carefully; do not take the salesperson's word' for it that the size is "No " if you wear No. 9's. The stocking may be marked No, 9 but unless it is a good stock itigatji fairly high price you may find it a 6 or No. 7 when you get it home. Only the best hosiery just now seems to have the length or foot that it stated size calls for. Rush for Marriage Licenses Unexplained An unexplained rush for marriage licenses occuxxf d. at the court house between 3 and 5 o'clock Tuesday aft ernoon, when fifteen couples ob tained certificates to wed. Several couples waited in line all afternoon to procure licenses. ' .-s . "It was-not a rush of draft slack ers," declared "Cupid" Stubbendorf. marriage license clerk, "and it's too early for the autumn rush of brides and grooms. I'll be darned if I know how'to account for iu" The oldest couple's ages were 6-t and 61, respectively, while the young est were a yonth and a maiden who said they were both 18 years old. apis Bee Want-Ads Produce Results. I Art of Cultivating Sustained Thinking By GARRETT P..SERVISS. "How may one cultivate hi power of sustained thinking, and the ability to ex press himself clearly and forcibly? K. W. W I know no other way than by con centrating the attention, and prevent ing the mind from wandering. Sus tained thinking is a series of mental steps, or a chain of ideas, each com ponent of which is linked with a predecessor. - A thought falline into the mind is like a spark dropped in a field of dry grass; it kindles and spreads in every direction unless some guiding influ ence is exercised over it. You may, by attention, cause this mental fire to; takeand follow a particular path, but it 'will continually catch along ijt borders of the way, tending al yys Xa spread, and sometimes find ing lateral material of so combusti ble a nature that it leaps upon it in an uncdtttrollable flame. Then your line of thought is lost in smoke and confusion; unless you have great self- mastery. . .there are two ways of keeping a rein upon' thought; 'one practiced by the writer, the, other by the speaker. The first is the clearest in operation. Its nature is indicated in Bacon's fa mous apothegm that "writjng maketh an exact man." The reason is be cause the writer always has before him a visible chain. The pen guides the thoughts not because it has a mysterious pqwer of creating them, but because it puts their direction before the eye, as a ruler indicates the development pf a line. If a distracting thought intrudes itself, a single glance backward along the written line suffices to banish it by revealing its incongruity. More over, such backward glances provide a new impetus. They also suggest new, properly related thoughts which may not, at first, have fallen into line. So it 'has always been justly main tained that writing : cultivates sus- ' tained thinking. J. lie speakers method of sustain ing thought is .to keep bis .mind strongly and steadily under way. An .extempore orator is apt to wander a little at the , beginning, the rudder does not yet work; and he is feeling for his line, which he does not clear ly see, or whose precise course he has not yet determined. He is get ting up a current of thought which will grow stronger, and become more distinctly set, as he goes on. After a time he seems to have magnetized his own brain, and set all its cells point ing one way, and after that he is in no peril of wandering. The inspiration of the speaker, which often carry him to heights of thought and expression that he could only with difficulty, if at all, attain in his quieter hours, are an effect of the whipping up of the cerebral en ergies, the brain in such cases seem ing to act like an engine that needs heat in order , to run. But the speaker's development of a chain of thought is not so complete as that of the writer (although it may be more powerful), because he has not the advantage of pausing to look back along the line, and to let collateral ideas join his charging col umn. An oration is a battle fought on the field; alibok is a campaign, laid out over the table. It remains to consider straight thinking, without either writing or speaking. This is a very rare and high art. There are few who prac tise it, except in a most fragmentary and incomplete way. Not many men have ever lived who could hold a line of solitary thought for an hour. How many can do it for five minutes? To guide the mind in pure thinking, put the ideas into words, not written or spoken, but conceived mentally, or, as it were, spoken to the mental ear. This has the effect of rendering the thought concrete, so that it can be grasped and controlled. Words, too, possess a singular force of sug gestion. Thejr arc like seeds of ideas which sprout instantly and put forth correlative ideas. In fact, some words are so strongly generative that they become sources of distraction when they enter into. ..a line of thought. They throw off a spray of ideas which is apt to confuse the mind and lead it out of its course. The thinker has to beware of such distractions, but still he cannot clearly apprehend his thought unless he shapes it upon words. 1 This recalls a remark of Huxley's that usued to puzzle me. Speaking of man's relations to the lower ani- Women's Activities The Frisco system is the first rail road to employ women as train auditors. Several Ohio cities are to vote on municipal woman suffrage next No vember. Women employed in the Baltimore and Ohio railroad shops receive an average wage of $60 per month. More than fifty women were among the- regular delegates attending the recent annual convention of the Na tional Credit' Men's association. Miss Annie Rdthehberger, the 16-year-old daughter of a prosperoHs farmer residing . in . the Perkiomen Valley of Pennsylvania lias cut all the wheat.' and. oats on their seventy acre farm this year. During the siege of Mafeking, when the stock of flour ran low, excellent puddings were, made for the invalids from ladies' " face ; powderlargely made froni' powdered rice collected from the various chemists and hair dressers' shops. Because women are becoming farm owners and managers in increasing numbers in Iowa, they are to have an opportunity to study agriculture from the woman's standpoint in a new four-year course to be offered 'this year at Iowa State college. mals, he says: "The argument that because there is an immense differ ence between a man's intelligence and an ape's, therefore, there must be an equally immense difference be tween their brains, appears to me to be about as well based as the reason ing by which one should endeavor to prove that because there is a 'great gulf between a watch that keeps ac curate time and another that will not go at all, there is, therefore, a great structural hiatus between the two watches, A hair in the balance wheel, a little rust on the pinion, a bend in a tooth of the escapement, may be the source of all the difference. "And believing, as I do, with Cuvier, that the possession of articu late speech is the grand distinctive character of man (whether' it be ab solutely peculjar to him or not), I find it very easy to comprehend that some equally, inconspicuous struc tural difference may have been the., primary cause of the . immeasurable and practically infinite divergence of the human from the simian tirps." This at least tends to explain the necessity of connecting thought with words in order to either comprehend or guide it. A wordless thought is inconceivable. Even the mathema tician has to have his language. Misses and Children's Shoes Cwing to the scarcity of leather, due to "the war," the price of shoes has advanced.
