LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
BY B1ASCHE EEiCOS
AX EVERYDAY FAULT
It is the everyday fault that is so
bard to correct. The senseless little
thing's that we do unconsciously are
the roost difficult to overcome.
Surely one of tho most common is
that of running- over the heels of the
shoes. For every fault there fla of
course a cause and an effect. The best
way to overcome the effect is of course
to remove the cause. Let us see what
these causes can be.
In the first place unromantic corns!
A. corn on the little toe will almit in
variably cause one to slop over on mat
side of the foot although by go doing,
one intensifies the pain.
Another cause, tight shoes.
A third cause, shoes that are too
loose. In fact, to sum It up, 111-fttUng
ehces.
A fourth case, any tendency to be
bow-legged. - - '
And a fifth cause, any tendency to
tesume sloppy attitudes.
As to removing the Brat cause, In an
early article I am going to rive some
good corn remedies. Watch for them.
-- As to ill-fitting- shoes, the remedy is
to use your brains while purchasing
shoes. Do riot sacrifice comfort to
vanity, and again, do not in striving
to be comfortable, go to the other ex
treme. If your trouble is the fourth, there
Is little you can do. r should advise
Ton in this case ib wear email steel
oles: These are little pieces of steel
that fit the part of the sole worn oft
and prevent it from wearing down any
further. They can be bought at any
choe store or shoemaker's.
And If it is Dure laziness of attitude
It rests with yourself to correct that.
I think if you etudy your reflection in
the mirror you will realize why it
seeds correcting.
Watch yourself walk before a mir
ror. Only constant care and real ear
nestness will - remedy this fault. No

THE ARGUMENT AGAINST
HANGING MBS. WAKEFIELD
There has been much argument pro
and con as to the wisdom of hanging
Bessie Wakefield, who was accessory
to the killing of her husband, t The
argument against her execution 'seems
to be more fully and briefly present
ed in an editorial In the current is
sue of the ureenwica .tress. une
views expressed are doubtless those of
Norman Talcott, the humane and aCT
compllshed editor of The Farmer's
contemporary, and are as follows:
The Case of Bessie Wakefield,
On March 4, 1914, the State of Con
necticut will be treated to the spec
tacle of a woman being publicly mur
dered In the name of good govern
ment, civilization, hlgfe morals and
Christianity.
On that day she will toe seized, drag
ged from her cell at Wethersfleld, her
hands jtied behind her, her head cov
ered and she will be strangled to
death. "Hung by the neck until dead,"
as the law phrases it.
If she struggles and fights for her
life, as even a drowning kitten would
do, strong jailers, will grasp her, pin
her hands to her side, hush her fright
ened screams with a gag and drag her
to the gallows, where stifling with
horror and convulsed with agony, her
body, "made in the image of God,"
will be reduced to . carrion, and her
soul, blind with crime which was
doubtless bred of years of the environ
ment which society has prepared for
her, and probably perverted by an
heridltary taint, will be shot into the
outer darkness, or light, which men
call eternity.
Oh, it will be an elevating sight la
this year of Our Lord Nineteen Hun
dred and Fourteen. - This year wheS
we . travel in automobiles and air
ships, and converse across thousands'
of miles, and have hundreds of uni
versities and hundreds of thousands
of churches, but still murder women
judicially as three hundred years ago
did our ancestors, who rode in stage
coaches and believed in witchcraft.
We wish that every refined person,
every clergyman, every tender wo
man in the State were compelled to
witness that struggle as Bessie Wake
field is prepared for the gallows. We
wish that judge who pronounced the
sentence might be compelled to hold
her arms while the jailers tied her
hands and that he, personally, would
have to apply the gag as she fought
and cried for life. And we wish that
the governor of the state might have
to pull the rope at her execution. .
If that happened, we think there
might never thereafter be an execu
tion in4he State of Connecticut.
Bessie Wakefield murdered a man
her husband. We are not familiar
with the circumstances. They do not
matter. The blacker the crime, the
greater the proof of her abnormality,
her lack of proper perspective and un
derstanding.' Ignorant, uneducated,
perverted, laboring under a thousand
foul temptations, she killed her hus
band. Laboring under no such temptation,
In the clear shinln'g light of reason
and good surroundings, education,
modern civilization and in perfectly
told blood, the State of Connecticut
is to murder Bessie Wakefield. And
it offers a much less merciful death
than she. In her blindness and deprav
ity offered her victim. And it offers
her months of agonized waiting be
fore the final pull of the rope. ,
If any good could be accomplished
by this killing, it might be in a de
gree excusable. If the murdered hus
band could be brought back to life by
the process and If his litd were worth
more to society than her's, then we
might condone this public crime. But
we know that such is not the case.

president, will enact the leading roles.
The wedding occurs Nov. 26 In the
east room of the White House. Dr.
Grenfell, the well known medical mis
sionary worker of the desolate Labra
dor coast, will be the best man. This
from being what little use to society
she yet might be.
There is no moral or ethical or sci
entific law in the world that will up
hold this murder. If you take your
moral teaching from the Bible, It says:
"Thou Shalt Not Kill." It does not
say "It is wrong for one Individual
to kill another individual, and right
for a million and a half individuals
to kiy one individual." It simplv says,
"Thou Shalt Not Kill." It Is quite
positive in the statement. If you take
your teachings from modern science
it Is even more positive.
But unfortunately Bessie Wake
field's execution Is neither a matter
of morals nor of science. It is a mat
ter of the law. And that law was
made in the Middle Ages, a time of
burnings, torture rack, superstition,
Ignorance and hatred. And it has
survived all those years, because the
people have not had the. energy to
change it. "
There is no moral law, we - repeat,
that, gives any man or body of men
a right to punish others. t gives the
right to correct only.
The only excuse for executions is
that of expediency. If it is absolute
ly necessary for society to murder
murderers in order to protect itself,
then, and then only, is such murder
defensible. But the fact is that mur
der by the State only has the effect
of" inducing 'and promoting private
murder. It offers the example. It
sets the seal of public approval upon
killing as a means of righting wrong.
What if the State engaged in gamb
ling, theft, arson and other crime?
What would be the moral effect upon
the individual?
It is a proven fact that where exe-.
cutions have been most common, the
crime of murder has become more
common among individuals, hree
hundred years ago in England there
were scores of crimes punishable by
death, but the knowledge of the pen
alty did not stop people from com
mitting those crimes. Since the death
penalty was removed there has been
less instead of more crime.
In states and countries where 'there
is no capital punishment there- are no
more murders than in those where it
exists. In fact, there are only half
as many. For there one -nurder
means but one murder. Here it
means two the murder of the vic
tim and the murder of the murderer.
No, the death penalty is no deter
rant for murder. In practically ev
ery case the person who commits a
murder either expects to escape pun
ishment altogether or is in such a
state of mind that he does not con
sider consequences. We defy any one
to point to a murder, where tha crim
inal stopped to consider whether th
penalty was death or only imprison
ment for life. In fact, most free per
sons those not immediately faced by
death would say they preferred
death to life imprisonment. Think
of it yourself!
It is clear that capital punishment
lacks even the excuse of expediency.
People are coming to understand
that crime is of two sorts. One is
that bred by environment on perfect
ly normal persons and in such cases
is not the proper thing to improve the
environment that produced the crim
inal, and to try to cure him. We do
the same thing when bad environ
ment has caused typhoid fever. We
Improve the environment and apply
such remedies as we can to the in
fected person.
The other sort of crime Is that of
abnormal persons, those born with a
criminal tendency which is as much
of a hereditary taint as Inherited dis
ease or a crooked spine or red hair.
Our action toward such criminals
should be to put them where they can
do no harm, to study their cases and
see what we can learn in the way of
prevention.

leave out the question of personal will

friends who remind her of the un
lucky number.
tain amount of that. But we can
never judge it the power of the will
or the strength of the' temptation. All
we 'can do Is to act for the greatest
good to both society and the Individ
ual. ,
There are certain strong arguments
in favor of imprisonment instead of
killing as a punishment for murder.
One Is that sometimes a man found
guilty later proves to be innocent. If
we have simply confined a man we can
set him at liberty when his innocence
is established. But if we have kttl
ed himVe cannot restore life.
Another is that a" murderer may
still be put to good use in the world if
allowed to live, while If 'killed his
possible usefulness is, of course, ,cut
off.
Here Is a case that illustrates this
point: Some years ago. In a Western
state a man was found guilty of mur
dering another. He was apparently
"No good." He- was the degenerate
son of a wealthy- family who had been
sent West on an allowance to get him
out of the way. He poisdned and rob
bed a man with whom he had been
travelling. ,
He was confined instead of being
executed. Later he developed tuber
culosis and as the prison fare was
not suited to consumptives, - he was
allowed to make little articles and
sell them that he might have money
to buy milk and other nourishing ar
ticles of food. Soon he taught others
to make useful things. Later he was
allowed to write letters to merchants
to Induce them to buy the articles.
And his letters were so convincing that
they not only brought returns, but led
to his being hired by a big firm to
write advertisements.
As a result of his work he has or
ganized an industry in the prison, and
a great deal of money is made which
is used to give proper treatment to
sick prisoners, to educate others, and
to prepare still others to go back into
the world as useful citizens after their
terms have expired. He earns consid
erable money himself, but he does not
keep It, for he is a "lifer." He turns
it over to the others, where It can do
the most good. In short, he has
been an Immense factor in the reform
of hundreds of men.
Shall we say that after all this mur
derer has not been an asset to tht
State which convicted him. What use
would his dead body have been?
But to return to Bessie Wakefield.
What have we to say about her exe
cution ? Remember, lt will not only
be a murder, but the murder of a wo
man. Why, even savage races do not
murder their women. They under
stand the great biological law which
decrees that destruction of women
means destruction of the race. If
three-quarters of the men in the world
were killed to-morrow, the race would
be replenished in a generation or two.
But if that proportion of women were
killed the race would probably die.
Recognizing this, practically all ra
ces have cared for their women and
in every way protected their lives.
From this knowledge, unconsciously
has grown our whole system of chiv
alry toward woir.en. Everywhere in
Jury to a woman is looked upon with
abhorrance.
But civilized law courts decree that
women shall be Judicially murdered.
The question as to whether or not
the State of Connecticut shall be dis
graced by the legal murder of a wo
man will now be largely up to Gov
ernor Baldwin the most influential
member of the Board of Pardons.
If he is what his enemies call him
a fossilized remnant of a past century,
a man whose head has become wood
en and his heart stone by the study
of law made by past and uncivilized
generations, to the exclusion of mod
ern scientific and human feeling
then he will refuse to act.
If he is the broad-minded, intelli
gent and enlightened statesman his
friends believe him to be, he will use
his prerogative and save to this mis
erable woman what little of life re- I

THE
tured here will find instant favor w
mong women in search of the truly
-chic in afternoon toilettes. It is work- !
ed ont in two shades of grey, the dif- :
ference in the colors resulting from
the contrast of the materials rather
than any decided variety of shading.
The panelette set into the front of
the skirt, the vest and sleeves are of
satin. Sometimes the sleeves are made
of chiffon, veiled over net to make
them as delicate as possible. A bow
of ribbon holds up the drapery of U19
skirt .and there are oddly-shaped bat
tons 'of the velvet for the skirt a&4
bodice trimming. Beyond a tiny vmet
of embroidered braid and a ruchir.g :
of soft net the model boasts no other
trimming.
To make, it requires 4 yirds of 44
inch crepe de chine, 2-yards of 27-inch
satin, yi yard of embroidered brail .
and a yards of ruched net. The neck ;
may be cut square, round or V-shaped. .
In making the waist, the applied
front deserves a special word. There
will be no trouble over the other partj,
the lining, and the sleeves being very
simple. ( After the outside is put to
gether, join the applied front and bade
as notched. Lap applied front on back,
large "O" perforations at lower edge
even. Gather lower edges bctweeaj
double "TT" perforations and twa
inches above. Sew fancy collar to
neck edge as notched. Arrange '
waist, center-backs and lower ed-a
even, bringing large "O" perforation
at lower edge to under-arm seam, and
bring front edge to large "O" perfora
tions at lower edge of under-arm seam,
and bring front edge to large "O"
perforation i,n lining front. Large "O"
perforations indicate center-front of
peplum. Close back seam, ew to low
er edge of waist, centers even.
The more decided the contrast t
trimming the waist, the more fashion
able it will be. Nothing exceeds m
attractiveness bindings of black satia
for the waist and sleeves.
