Put that In big letters and hnng it up in your sitting-room, whero you can bco it ovory dny, and whero tho young people can see it Mnybo Jt will call their attention to tho books they nro reading, which arc uplifting or degrading, says tho Ohio Stnto Journal. They nro ono or the other. Parents don't seem to realize this. Nino out of ten of them do not Bccm to understand tho significance of a book. An education amounts to nothing If a boy or girl turns It into shallow rending. Their minds arc filled with trash and tholr thinking 1b weak, when they rend tho kind of books that nro mostly rend Uicao days It is a sad mlstako to allow this mat ter to go at random, nnd to allow the youth's tnsto for reading to grow rank and wild. Tho highest triumph of an education 1b tho desire nnd habit to rend good books. It mnkes no differ ence how well n boy gets along In his mathematics or language If ho haB no tasto for good reading It Is all waste. Parents will tnko great Interest In tho marks tholr child gets nt school, but they nro hopelessly careless as to what thoHo marks mean for him in his nftor llfo. It Is tlmo they vere giving attention to this subject. For nt least four hundred years Jour nalism has lxcn n profession without ncademlc recognition, In that a course of study was required to enter Its portnls. Tho Into Joseph Pulitzer fell that it should bo raised to the prnpci rank, nnd ho founded nnd endowed n collego, says tho Philadelphia In quirer. To tho' headship of this now Snstltutlon Ib called Dr. Talcott Wil liams of this city, ono of tho deans ol Amorlcnn Journalism, and ono whose experlenco, travel, accomplishments and scholarship mako tho selection wholly ndmlrahlo.

Tho claquo has nevor flourished In England theaters, but la a powerful Institution In Franco, whero a "chef do claquo" enjoys n recognized status and makes a comfortnblo Income It Is a mlstako to supposo that tho only duty of clnquoura Is to applaud.

A Pennsylvania Judgo has decided that a girl Is entitled to keep an en gagement ring after tho engagement Is broken. It Isn't likely, however, that many of tho glrlB who have been keeping engagement rings would have returned them, cvou If tho Pennsyl vanla Judgo had decided tho other way. fc The whole family feel tho throb ol spring within tholr veins.

SOMETHING OF A NOVELTY Inexpensive Lamp Shades May Be De signed From the Ordinary Japanese Lanterns. An Inexpensive, novel nnd pretty way of making lnmp Bhadcs, especial ly for tho summer cottages, is to uti lize Japanese JJnntcrns. Tho kind used nro tho rather large, oval-shaped ones la either n solid color or half ono nnd hnlf nnothor. Tho upper part to tho desired depth Ib cut off, guided by tho smnll bamboo bands which stiffen and fold It, and Is neatly trimmed off. At tho top, which la finished by a blnck woodon band, tho wlro hanger Is re moved and In place of It ono of two or three supports substituted. Ono consists of three wlrcB, equidistant around tho top, and bent so ns to hnng over tho top of tho lamp chim ney. Another method Is a regular support fitting tho top and attached to tho lamp at tho baso of tho chimney; or clso tho lower edge of the shndo mny bo wired nnd tho usual tripod support bo used. I made two llko this, using tho first mentioned stylo of hanging just for fun this summer, nnd tho cheerful, red-figured Jnpnneuo Illy shades made such n hit that all my neighbors made, or had mo make, tbo sumo things for them. llnrper's Bazar. PRETTY SILK WAIST This pretty waist Is of light silk piped with black and ornamented with llttlo strnps nnd buttons. Tho yoke Is of lace finished at tho neck with a frill of embroidered mus lin, and similar frills finish tho slcovcs. Many Shades of Red. Tho new combination In srtinrt after noon nnd evening gowns Ib tomato red, with tho purplo of Hamburg grapcB. This red Is ono of tho new shades of tho fnshlonnblo color nnd Is a lovely ono, indeed. Among Its rivals aro raspberry, wa ter melon, flamo and geranium. Among tho purples tire grapo, night, royal, Vatican or cardinal purplo and ame thyst purple. It Is not a now fashion to. ralnglo pur plo nnd red, hut for a while It went out; now It Beems to hnvo returned through the Insisting iufluenco of Paul Polret, who hns never ceased to lovo and use It, so that It has becomo moro credited to his name than to any oth er great designer. CHARACTER SHOWN BY DRESS Value, as a Setting for the Personality, Varies With the Mood3 of the Wearer. No woman can afford to bo Indiffer ent In tho matter of costume, and all women nro moro or less Influenced by, what they wear. Ono damsel swaggers about In mas culine effects, heavy boots, stiff collar, tailored coat, etc., another Is sweetly femlnlno In fluffy ruffles, picture hat, chiffons, laces and parasol, and tho Indlfferelco to appearances is almost Invariably exactly what sho looks stralght-laced, prim, severe, cold, in capable of any flight of fancy, lacking tho powor of sympathy, and with no Intricate uncertainties to soften tho hardness of her chnrnctor. Equally true Ib tho fact that a gown which Is extremely becoming today Is very medlocro tomorrow. Its value as a setting for tho personality varies with tho moods of tho wearer. When discouragement, depression and a gen eral feeling of dullness envolops ono In a gray cloud tho tendency Is to don black, a gray or n dull brown gown. Such a choice Is n great mlstako, tend ing to accentuate' tho gloom about tho wearer. Crush such a choice under foot nnd choose Instead tho liveliest dress In your wardrobe Something with red, brilliant green, bright blue or. any vivid tone.

Tho brldo's gown was of silver nnd, whlto brdcndod satin, elaborately em broidered and trimmed with nloncen lace. Tho square court train was thrco yards In length.

The bodleco had n dropped fichu of finest Chnntllly laco caught slightly to tho left sldo with a cluster of small Ilk roses, in tho pastel Bhadcs of vio let, pink and yellow. A deep flounco of six scalloped pleat tngs of tho moussolino trimmed tho skirt. Small clusters of tho roses wero placed at Intervals around tho flounce. With this gown was worn a fas cinating bonnet of shirred moussolino do solo of palest bluo. A narrow plqatlng flnlshed tho edgo and a wreath of small silk roses, matching those used upon tho frock, onclrcled tho crown nnd adorned tho bonnet strings. Colors In Hat3. This is a season of most brilliant colors In millinery; cerise, king's bluo combined with green and a touch of pink; tho tan shades, sago green, gray and pink ostrich plumes and smart combinations of black and white, all are used with n lavish band. Ono of tho smart now touches Is to match tho taffeta dress with a hat faced with tho same material, trimming tho top of tho tint with a contrasting color.

Hnrvey Given, ns slstant United S(nte3 attorney for llio District of Columbia, happened to 'bo walking tho other morning by that famous corner in tho courthouso iwhero marrlngo licenses aro Issued, ,when ho heard a girl's voice, saying i with considerable feeling: "Don't! I will not marry that red- eyed old terrapin, and I'm not eighteen 'years old I am only fourteen." , Mr. Given stepped up to the counter In tlmo to prevent a mnrrlago license being Issued. Tho man who was ap plying for it was Louis Garrison, six- ty-ono years old, of Stafford county, 'Virginia, and the girl, who was stren uously objecting, was Myrtle Baldwin (of tho same county.

Richard K. Leo the other day. "A diplomat, whom wo will call Don Juan Rnplda, from one of tho Inflam matory Latin republics, caught the fancy of n young American girl, tho heiress to mnny millions. Tho diplo mat Is good-looking, but financially impoverished. The girls agrees to wed him, and her plutocratic pater, who ,madc his pile out of beer, Is willing to take Rnplda as a son-in-law. So desper ately hard up Is the South American gentleman for ready coin that he goes to a friend of mine to see if he can't raise 55,000 In order to mako a showt Ing in tho preliminaries. This friend, being good-natured, Introduces him to a generous party who agrees to pro vide the cash, provided Raplda will give him back $10,000 for tho loan of ho ?5,000 as soon as the nuptials with the brewer's daughter have been consummated. "My friend who arranges tho deal is promised $1,000 for his trouble, but, being a rather harum-scarum bus iness man, he takes no written prom ises, as did the lender of tho money. Prior to that ho had often put up small sums ranging from $10 to $30 so thnt Don Juan Raplda might be able to convey his loved one to the theater and a small dinner after the show.

It wnB tho first banquet of the kind ever held. Party lines wero forgotten, the methods of tho house, tho person alities of the older members, wero burlesqued by tho "youngsters." Thero are 120 members in the houso serving their first term, the greatest number sinco tho beginning of con gress, duo to tho political upheaval In 1910. Tho business of the evening, after tho banquet had been cared for, was a bill, introduced by Representative William C.

Myrtlo declured over and over again she was only fourteen years old, al though she could enslly pass for sev eral years older, as sho is maturo look ing and weighs probably 1G0 pounds. When It came the turn to question Myrtle she was so worked up over her escapo from tho marriage ceremony that she was In tears. She said that she had planned a sight-seeing trip to Washington with Mrs. Dccntur and had no Idea that Garrison would ac company them. They left their homes near Quantlco early In tho morning, walked three miles to a railroad sta tion and took a train for Alexandria. Myrtlo said that Garrison suddenly decided he was going to marry her as tho train pulled Into Alexandria, but sho explained to Mr. Wilson and Mr. Given that she had no Idea of doing anything of the kind. She added also that Garrison was n widower three times over, hla last wife dying a few weeks aso. Failed! to Get Hi. I OUCHT TO ' CET stung 'JSk FOOL EftOUCH SpP TO TRUST f Si D THAT OON1 U-'-'?3. Tho very money that went to buy the engagement ring was furnished by my friend, who had to mortgage some lit tle property of his own to get the ornament.

Tho letters aro writ ten with a view of cheering the recipi ent,' but he refuses to be cheered and has about come to the conclusion that it will be many a day ere ho gets back tho cash that went for the engage ment ring and the theater tickets, to say nothing of the fee promised for negotiating the $5,000 loan.

Ho denounced Rep resentative Redfleld as representing tho cat Industry. Freo cats, Mr. Wil lis declared, were Indispensable tu tho American people. Representative Llnthlcum of Maryland made a stirring address, upholding tho catsup Indus try. Whether the measure finally was passed or turned down was never quite decided.
