Keep Up a Perpetual Confusion Within Their Ranks. A Bresk is Caused and a New Movement is Launched. VOL XX11. Race Pro Keep Up a Perpetual Confusion Caused and a New M (From Boston Reliance) This country is overcrowded today with men who are forcing themselves into the public eye, preying upon its impulses and fleeing its pocketbooks under the guise of race problem solvers. They travel in cliques, establish headquarters in the large cities; but the perfidy which they practice upon the public reverberates with such rapidity as to keep up a perpetual confusion within their ranks. Every now and again there is a rumpus, an exchanging of epithets in the press, a breaking up and a division, after which the prime movers call together another another clique, change the name and with new pathos start out again on their avowed determination to keep up a confusion. The methods employed are indignation meetings, holding celebrations in honor of dead heroes, resolving, protesting and urging the people to petition for the reform of conditions for which they are in many ways responsible. As a finis of these meetings they pass the hat around for the coin and tell the people that their is something beside money that they should live for. If you have carefully studied the political situation from the time that the children of Israel left Egypt down to present segregation policies introduced by the Democratic party now in power at Washington, you will admit that politics, generally speaking, are of such a vacilating nature that they never were, are not now, and never will be, controlled by man; and that any changes which have brought beneficial results to any depressed race from this source have not resulted from any vicious tactics, or vituperative agitation, but from time and patience, coupled with a manly presentation of the cause of complaint by reliable rather than spurious, representatives and a rare occasion, operated and culminated by the hand of destiny. Men who engage in the race problem business on the political basis are usually men who have been educated beyond their means. They believe that the Negro should be accorded every consideration except the one which has been the foundation upon which every other race has made its place in the world and that is by controlling its own industries. Yet they must live and, too, upon these industries. They imag- ine themselves clothed in a dignity and elegance superior to other men that to work at honest employment is a reflection upon their station in life, so they scheme to get by on their wits. The political phase of the race, problem question with its precarious vicissitudes presents an issues for every minute in the day upon which the race problem solvers may direct the attention of the public while they pull the coin into the hat. This field of operation presents so many points for plausible argument that a professional race problem solver will be employed all his life, become famous or infamous according as he impresses the public, and end his work without having accomplished anything for the race or himself. In summing up their arguments, we can but conclude that they are a class of men who are living in advance of their age. They are in too much of a hurry for the things which are to come. They should go off the earth now and come back again a few hundred years hence when they will find things arranged to their liking. There is another class of race problem solvers who do not imagine the world as it used to be, or as it ought to be, but who take it just as it is and make the most they can of it. They realize that, in order to live for something, there must be something to live with, and put forth every effort to possess themselves of something to live with, in order to have something to live for. They believe 1st in honest employment, second in honest co-operation, third in honest accumulations, fourth in the control of a part of the world's industries as the stepping stones to political recognition. These are elements of the environments of life which are absolutely under man's control. They furnish the money for the campaign funds and the money which pays the politician for the performance of his official duties. The fame of the man who reaches the top of the political ladder is short lived. The next climber throws him back from whence he came and he seldom climbs again. The man who climbs the ladder of wealth always finds plenty of room at the top with no one to dispute his claim. The former race problem solver imagines himself one of the chosen few spoken of in the fifth book of Moses, with reference as follows: DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. AUGUST 28, 1915 State Hist & Nat Hist Biology State House ANTS WHO ADO E JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO "When the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildeth not; and houses full of good things, which though filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not; vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shall have eaten and be full;" and now that he is brought into the land, and finds that the curse in the first book of Moses, "Thou shalt earn thy living by the sweat of the brow" must be fulfilled before he can enjoy these things which other hands have provided, he keeps up such a whining that the latter race problem solver, who has resolved to work out the problem rather than talk it out, finds many obstacles in his path. Nevertheless the race problem solver who believed in working out the problem, has in fifty years inhabitation of the land of his fathers worked out $700,000,000 worth of milk and honey. What can the other race problem solver show for occupying space on the land since the war? Colored Messenger Confesses to Graft. Washington, Aug. 12.—Graft in in the Navy Department on a scale that astonished the official of that brauch of the Federal government, has been unearthed by secret service officers, it became known recently. While the grafters took only small sums from the petty officers and enlisted men of the navy for purposed services in procuring service transfers and promotions, the aggregate is said to be large and to turn into thousands. As a result of the inquiry a Negro messenger in Assistant Secretary Roosevelt's office has been discharged and is being kept under surveillance. He is said to have made a confession to the secret service men which now is in position of the department of Justice. The messenger, a trusted employee in the office of the assistant secretary of the navy for many years, is declared to have driven a thriving trade for an organized "ring" in procuring transfers for men who desired berths in ships other than the ones they were on. The charges are said to have ranged from $15 to $50 for the supposed influence exerted. The "graft" was delightfully simple. There is no red tape in bringing about the transfer of men desirous of transfers. The messenger in question merely transferred the application of each man in the ordinary course of business and the application was passed on by Assistant Secretary Roosevelt and approved. The messenger naturally, received credit for personal influence and his association with the leading officials of the navy was accepted as the reason of the quick action of each application. The system is said to have spread throughout the entire navy department. It is said to have been passed by word of mouth from spip to ship and from station to short station. As a result hundreds of sailors discontented with their assignments are said to have applied for transfers through the agency of the messenger. The secret service is convinced that the messenger was merely the medium by which the graft was worked. It has been quietly working to find the "ring" behind the humble agent. None would discuss the matter to day but it is known that the messengers has confessed. It is not known yet how much the grafters gleaned from their system. VICTOR AND CRIPPLE CREEK, COLO, NEWS.

THE MEMORIAL The Black Paderewski, Known in Europe and America, Who Will Sing and Play in Recital at People's Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 19. Fearing race riots William Bartlett, Director of Public Safety, last week, issued an order forbidding the presentation of the movie drama, "The Birth of a Nation." The film, which has been shown at the Nixon Theatre on the Boardwalk for the last three weeks, caused such opposition from Colored citizens here that they threatened violence. Chief of Police Woodruff sent plain clothes men through the Negro belt to sound sentiment there. The detectives said they heare threats to attack the play-house and destroy the films unless the authorities closed the drama. NO 2 EXPECT 200,000 HERE FOR LINCOLN JUBILEE EXPECT 200,000 HERE FOR LINCOLN JUBILEE Chicago, Aug. 22., 1915—Down at the Coliseum today a tall well built man in a natty brown business suit and soft felt hat, with a gold watch chain strung across his vest, stood directing exhibits. Fifty years ago his forbears were bending under the weight of cotton bales on southern plantations. He exemplified in a small way the rise of his race. When the exhibits have been placed, the public will know what a big success the Negro has won in virtually every industrial and professional field. The sounds of hammers were heard all day Saturday in the Coliseum. The large hall is packed with the goods that are coming from every state in the union. In addition more than 200,000 colored people are expected to visit Chicago during the time the exposition is on, from Aug. 22 to Sept. 16, for which the state legislature gave $50,000 unconditionally and $25,000 more if the exposition raises a like sum. Officially the exposition opened Sunday with a religious service. Recognizing this the city counsel adopted a resolution making Monday a holiday in the city hall, in honor of the colored race. The county board this week adopted a similar resolution. Bishop Samuel Fallows, president of the jubilee exposition, said today that perhaps 500,000 Negroes will be in Chicago during the celebration. "Think of it—the greatest Negro churches are to have conventions here in that time," he said "That means the Baptist church colored section; the Methodist Episcopal church, North; the African Methodist Episcopal which has no less than thirteen bishops; the colored Methodist Episcopal church, a southern institution; the colored wings of the Roman Catholic church. Tuskegee institute will have a good representation. Every Negro institution will have exhibits." C. F. Gunther's collection of Lincoln Relics, including the bed on which the president died, the carriage he used, and his personal effects will be shown. The press of the abolitionist Lovejoy also will be on exhibition. An odd feature will be the display of cannon balls and guns of the civil war, alongside of modern munitions, including a replica of the shells of the German seventeen inch gun which has been so effective in the advance into Russia. Bishop Fallows sent letters today to all ministers of the city, inviting them and their congregations to participate in the opening exercises Sunday afternoon.

President Wilson is the man chosen by the neutral nations to make peace in the European war. Russian claims of great German losses in the naval battle in the gulf of Riga are repudiated in a semi-official telegram received from Berlin, which says that no dreadnought or cruisers were sunk or damaged.

Thirty-two persons are reported missing. Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador at Washington, communicated to the State Department instructions from his government expressing regret and sympathy if Americans lost their lives in the sinking of the liner Arabic and asking that the United States delay taking a definite stand in regard to the affair until Germany could be heard from. Germany is indulging in the first thought of possible defeat which she has countenanced since the war began. While the German fleet at Riga was meeting with decisive defeat, Gen. von Molkte, former chief of staff, was telling a secret conference of German cabinet ministers that the possibility of complete Russian defeat could not be hoped for by those well informed on the situation. At the same meeting Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg and Karl Hefferich, secretary of the treasury, announced that the empire's financial resources are in danger of exhaustion and advised the preparations of acceptable peace proposals. The chancellor threatened to resign when the conference refused to adopt a moderate attitude in the Reichstag. WESTERN Eight are reported dead and 5,000 marooned in floods at Newport, Ark.

He could not discuss details, but allowed it to be understood that this assistance would take the form of forwarding of greater supplies of munitions." For the first time in the history of the Japanese empire, extending over 2,500 years, an emperor is to accede to the throne in the presence of the representatives of his people. That is one great reason why the coronation of Emperor Yoshihito, which takes place on Nov. 10, is regarded as one of the supreme events in Japan. The Overseas news agency at Berlin gave out the following: "Official reports from Sofia and Constantinople state that Turkey and Bulgaria have signed a new treaty, Turkey granting Bulgaria her desired direct railroad connection with the sea, and Bulgaria agreeing to observe a benevolent neutrality."

This good old saying, "the proof of the pudding is in the eating," forces on us a reminder that we cannot easily efface from our memory in thinking seriously of the recent speech of Congressman J. Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania, at Worcester, Massachusetts, August 14th. His topic, "Lest We Forget," in which cogent argument, logical reasoning and sound judgment are displayed, serves especially at this time to prove to the people of the United States of America that the Republican form of government is the only agency that savors of and caters to the progress and prosperity of this country which George Washington and his successors endeavored to place on a basis of perpetuity. In his speech the congressman clearly showed the utter inability of the present Democratic administration to cope with the questions of paramount importance arising from time to time, and backs up his statement by declaring with emphasis that a number of laws enacted and changes brought about for improvement of general conditions prevailing in the country were detrimental to success, and therefore could only spell ruin. "What was the effect of the President's tariff declaration?" a question asked by Hon. Moore, was appropriately answered in the following: "A staggering blow to all business in the United States because of fear of what was to come." He also intimated that the passage of the Underwood low-tariff law produced the most unsatisfactory industrial conditions. The loss of trade and employment at home, thereby developing foreign industries; an income tax and war tax imposed upon a people who were and are at peace with the world; a depleted treasury with more taxes in sight—all these go to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that Democratic rule engenders and encourages everything but prosperity to a people, country and nation. We cannot help from endorsing the worthy congressman, as from our experience of over half a century under both political parties, we have hardly had an opportunity to benefit from administrations like the present. As members of a race that plays an important part in a nation's history it is almost horrifying to relate the sufferings, oppositions and failures we have undergone, the proof of which we have even today, when we are made to feel that however much we improve, develop or aspire, we must ever be linked by an element of this country with the barbarism and hideousness of the dark pages of the nation's life. While the bills, measures, laws, etc., have interfered with the industries and the financial phase of things during our present government, yet something of greater importance predominates, and that is the unfair, un-American spirit exhibited in actually depriving the citizens of dark appearance from being the recipients of ennobling and superior positions of honor and trust which they have merited in and by their constancy, loyalty and patriotism to the nation at all times and under all circumstances. Give us more men of the type and standard of Congressman Moore, and sooner or later the recognition of all Americans, irrespective of race or creed, will be an acknowledgment of which this great republic will be more than proud. The Right Kind of Reading Matter --- The home news; the doings of the people in this town; the gossip of our own community, that's the first kind of reading matter you want. It is more important, more interesting to you than that given by the paper or magazine from the outside world. It is the first reading matter you should buy. Each issue of this paper gives to you just what you will consider The Right Kind of Reading Matter Indication of Economic Intelligence at Least By Isaac Goldberg, Botten, Mass. Indication of Economic Intelligence at Least By Isaac Goldberg, Boston, Mass. is also, in this case, the spice of profits. The designers, without having ever read Carlyle's "Sartor Resartus," have nevertheless their own philosophy of clothes, and were you to catch them in an amiable mood they would talk somewhat in the following fashion: "If there were no styles people could always wear the same material, until the goods wore out. That would mean less work for dressmakers and tailors in general. Prices could not then be boosted because of popular demand for any reigning mode. Besides, people want something new all the time and would make it themselves were we not to do it for them." So that fashions, considered in this light, show economic intelligence on the part of the originators. From the point of view of those who merely ape what is in style, regardless of how it becomes their particular person, fashions do not show intelligence. And it must be confessed that this category contains by far the largest number. They say that clothes make the man. That may well be, but how often do clothes unmake the woman! If long lines come into style the first one to make a dash after the vogue will be your woman with an 18-inch waist and a figure that looks like a letter T with the top left off. As if her own self were not long line enough! Or let us imagine the opposite case, the coming into fashion of round lines. Enter the corpulent woman, and with a nonchalance that is at times pitiable she becomes stylish by adding to her natural obesity the optical illusion of lines that seem to add pounds to her weight. But the women are by no means alone as regards the fashion mania. Of late years there has been a decided tendency to introduce a variety in men's clothes almost as great as in women's. Every season brings its new coats, new hats, new ties; now the coat is loose, now tight. And when the designers exhaust their prolific store, back turn the fashions to those of years ago, and what we would laugh at in a picture book of 1870 we wear proudly to dinner. And consider the days of knee breeches and silk stockings for men, with George Washington as a good example. Go further back still and some of you will make the startling discovery that before modern business developed men were quite as vain with their clothes as are women. And while we are in a scientific mood, it might be well to point out that with the entrance of more and more women into the business and professional world voices of revolt against parrot fashion are being heard on all sides. It is not hard to imagine a time when clothes will be raised to the dignity of a fine art. For it is nothing less than art when a competent dressmaker originates and fashions a gown for a particular individual. There may be savages or peasants who have ideally perfect teeth, but they have never yet been discovered, and the myth of their perfection has never survived the establishment of a den- City People Have Most Perfect Teeth By Dr. Woods Hutchinson, New York There may be savages or peasants who have ideally perfect teeth, but they have never yet been discovered, and the myth of their perfection has never survived the establishment of a dental clinic among them. To take the situation as we actually find it, the whitest, evenest, most beautiful and enduring sets of teeth to be seen anywhere in the world today are right here in these United States, among people who have had toothbrushes and good dental care from their childhood years. The poorest, blackest, most broken and earliest decaying teeth are to be found in fishing villages and sand barrens and mountain valleys and remote, poverty-stricken country districts. Modern city teeth may require some scrubbing and filling, but they look better and chew better and harbor fewer "bugs" and last longer than any others yet invented or discovered and examined in thousands during life by competent experts. Some negroes and Indians, for instance, have wonderful teeth, but the majority of them suffer fearfully from toothache, caries, gum abscess and all the faults of civilized teeth. Brush without ceasing, thoroughly, gums as well as teeth, after every meal and at bedtime, and you can pretty certainly bank upon it that your teeth will stay by you until sixty, sixty-five or seventy. You will probably lose a few, even with the best of care, for some teeth are born soft and pitted, and need filling almost as soon as they cut the gum; but you'll have plenty left to anchor to, and your dental arches will be "disfigured but still in the ring" until you yourself "throw up the sponge."

Vacations taken in the summer are the most profitable. The summer is the best time for recreation. It allows more access to the open air and to outdoor activities. However, a particular season or an exact place are not the important items in one's vacation. The essential element is a change. The more complete the change, environmental and occupational, the better. Rest and moderation should be the rule. Many people do not know how to take a vacation, but return more nearly nerve-wrecked than when they set out. They overtravel, overwork, overdo. Rest and relaxation, a "breathing spell" for an overtaxed mind and body to catch up with themselves, should be the aim. Upon your return, in order to retain some of the benefits derived from the vacation, endeavor to avoid that almost universal American condition—high tension. It is possible and feasible to carry some of the calm and poise of the vacation season into your everyday work. The continuous high pressure and speed that the average American works under are unnatural and unnecessary. Go easy and you will last longer and come out ahead in the end. Just calm yourself. Success Found in Apparent Failure By Rev. Dr. Floyd I. Beckwith, Chicago It is normal that men desire success and abhor failure. Yet so warped are many men's ideas of success that it is difficult for them to understand that Success Found in Apparent Failure By Rev. Dr. Floyd I. Beckwith, Chicago It is normal that men desire success and abhor failure. Yet so warped are many men's ideas of success that it is difficult for them to understand that there are successful failures in life and failureful successes. It is not possible that success, as the world counts success, should come to everybody. There are men who never had a chance. But true success, the only kind worth striving for, may be the lot of any man who is willing to pay the price. The principal requirements are good health, high ideals, plenty of grit, inextinguishable enthusiasm and unimpeachable character.

Friday night of last week at Nippon hall, one of the most enjoyable and exquisite social functions that has been registered on the calendar this year was witnessed when Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Page gave a dancing and card party and from 8:30 until 12:30 mirth reigned supreme. The hall decorations represented botany in many varieties and the sweet essence of the same which seemed to float with the soft strains of music throughout the hall. The ladies, who were attired in their handsome and costly gowns, and the gentlemen in full dress, made a picturesque and admirable vista as they glided over the polished floor. The host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Page, were warmly congratulated and highly complimented for the unique manner of entertaining. Refreshments were served in abundance. Perhaps the most appreciated musical recital that has been held in Denver this season was that held at the People's Presbyterian church last Monday night, when Mrs. Minnie M. Albritton of Los Angeles, California, charmed a large audience with her musical talent, and that she fully sustained her title as "The Mocking Bird of the Pacific Coast" and "The Nightingale of the West," was evidenced by the many encores to which she had to respond. The high scales to which her voice soared without any effort was another feature of the skill of this great singer, which came in for a share of the flattering comments which Miss Albritton justly deserves. Besides the choir, those who assisted the singer were Miss Cleo Hobson, Mrs. M. E. Morrison, Master Atwell Rose, Miss Samina Harris, Thomas Berry, Mesdames Pearl Rose and Lillian Pinn. Organist, Valaurez Spratlin. Director, Rev. J. A. Thos. Hazell. Miss Albritton left Tuesday en route to Boston, where she will enter a conservatory of music.

Deodorizing a Cavity A large cavity in a tooth can be deodorized by dipping a pellet of cotton, held by pliers, into water, then taking up with it a small quantity of sodium perborate from a saucer or glass slab and quickly introducing this dressing into the cavity. The perborate liberates oxygen, which renders the cavity odorless and relatively aseptic. Go to Keneven & Haley's for your Dry Goods, Notions and Millinery. 2647 Welton Street. CRETONNES IN THE SUMMER By Careful Selection, the Housewife May Make Her Rooms Things of Beauty. It seems ages since the serviceable and smart cretonnes were introduced for hangings, coverings for furniture and cushions, etc., yet it still holds its place among the newest of goods shown for these purposes. Porch furniture, comfortable cushions and cane chairs for use on the summer pizzas are covered and, going further, large armchairs and low rockers for the living room are to be upholstered in this same good-wearing fabric. But, of course, designs have changed somewhat; colors are brilliant, as usual, but among the newest are those with birds of gorgeous plumage on a background of black. Indeed, brilliant applies to most of the new cretonnes; they are vivid and still launder perfectly, making them an excellent choice for the hot suns of summer days. The frill or flounce across the top of windows is still liked, only now it should be cut narrow and lifted a little directly in the center, with side draperies of the goods. The sides of these frills are a little longer than last year, and a variation liked is to catch the fullness in cluster of three or four tiny tucks or folds about three or four inches apart, not pressing them flat. but allowing them to stand out. Also the bottom of the frill, where caught up in the center, must be finished with a braid; as it should be cut in a curve, not in a straight line to be puckered shorter in the center, but cut curved. Still another variation shows the bottom of this frill cut in deep scallops and bound with braid. Small tables covered with cretonne, over which the useful glass is placed, will be sought for porch and living room for various uses. One that should appeal to the housewife who just "loves a pretty bedroom" is to change ordinary furnishings into things of beauty by covering chests, tables and so on with cretonne; the table with the glass top bringing an almost elegant air into the atmosphere. If woodwork and furniture are hopelessly faded and worn a coat of light enamel with a slight tracery of blue or pink or delicate green and cretonne hangings, etc., to match will make a charming room of one that might be termed dismal and depressing, as some rooms have a habit of being. A caution is to use plain paper or paper with small figures where a room is to be fitted out in gay cretonne; huge or startling designs will only cause discord. FITTING UP THE BATHROOM Some of the Requisites That Must Find a Place in the Modern Establishment. In the days of the old tin tub almost anything in the way of a towel was good enough, so long as it was free from holes. The advent of sanitary plumbing, the white enamel tub and basin, the tile or tile-effect walls and the nickel and glass fixtures have made the up-to-date bathroom a different proposition. For instance, utility is no longer the sole standard by which the bathroom linens are judged. They must also harmonize with the enamel and glass fittings. As a result housewives now buy their towels in sets in white, with an initial or monogram in color. Many towel sets are bought in plain or fancy material without a monogram, which is worked by the housewife herself. Bathroom sets of terry-cloth are composed of two bath towels, a bath mat, and two face cloths, all with a plain or fancy border and an initial or monogram. Jacquard figured bath towels are new and attractive. They have a deep pink or blue border and the hem is daintily embroidered in color. The edge is finished with a deep border or crochet of white and color. Turkish and huck towels are almost always embroidered in color and finished with a scalloped or crocheted edge. Making Cocoa. When making cocoa, you can greatly improve the flavor, obviating the "flat" taste, by adding a pinch of salt and a few drops of extract of vanilla. Boiling several minutes makes cocoa richer in taste and more digestible, while it stands to reason that milk and not water makes much the richer beverage, although milk and water may be mixed. Condensed or evaporated milk makes delicious cocoa. Beat the cocoa for a few minutes before serving it. Berry Roll. To one quart of flour use one table spoonful of butter, mix this together with a silver knife, add three table spoonfuls of baking powder and enough milk to make a dough that will roll. Flour one quart of berries sugar them to taste, put them in a layer on top of dough. Roll from one end. Cream for one hour. This should be served with hard sauce. Milk Sherbet. Add two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice to one tablespoonful of sugar, and pour on gradually one-half cupful of milk (or one-half milk and one-half cream) then freeze.—Woman's Home Companion. To Soften Lemons If lemons have become dry, put them into a pan of hot water and place it where it will remain at almost the same temperature without boiling for two hours. After that the lemons will be soft and juicy.

(Prepared by the Children's Bureau, United States Department of Labor.) This injunction needs to be repeated very often even in the country, where people are out of doors a great deal in the natural course of life. It is often true that small homes in the country are both overcrowded and ill-ventilated, particularly at night, and in some cases the country baby suffers from a lack of fresh air almost as much as does the city baby. But it would seem that it should be very easy to give a country baby an abundant supply of open air and sunshine. The chief drawback to his having a comfortable out-of-door life in summer are the flies, the dust and the heat. There are few improvements that pay greater return upon the investment to mother and baby, as well as the whole family, than a porch covered with wire screen on the shady side of the house, say, the east or south, provided the side is not so close to the road as to get the dust. If the mother has a porch of this kind, the baby may practically live there, except while he is being bathed. During the hottest hours of the day, in midsummer, it is usually cooler indoors than out, but with these few exceptions the baby may spend the greater part of the time out of doors. A play pen on the porch will serve to keep an older baby within safe bounds, and at the same time permit him to be out of doors. Such a pen is described in a bulletin published by the children's bureau called "Infant Care." This publication will be sent free to all who write for it, addressing the Chief, Children's Bureau, U. S. Department of Labor, Washington, D. C. Experience has shown that sick babies stand a much better chance of life, and recover much more rapidly if kept out of doors. Common sense should guide the mother in this, as in all matters where the baby is concerned, and she will realize that if a high wind is blowing dust about, or a sudden storm comes up and the temperature drops many degrees in a few moments, the baby should be taken in, or protected from a chill by suitable clothing and wraps. The young baby may be taken out when he is two weeks old for half an hour if the weather is warm and pleasant, gradually lengthening the time he stays out. Remember that the baby's eyes are very sensitive and must always be carefully shielded, not only from the sun, but also from direct light. Babies are often wheeled about in their carriages staring directly up into the sky. Try it yourself for a few moments and you will realize the cruelty to the baby who may not even be able to relieve this strain on the eyes by turning his head to one side. When the baby is sent out with a nurse she should be instructed on this point and also how long she is to keep the baby out, and be warned of the danger of allowing strangers to play with him or kiss him. The carriage outing should not be regarded as giving the baby enough fresh air for the day. In addition to this he should live on the porch in suitable weather. If it is necessary to bring him in, the windows and doors should be opened, screening them carefully from insect intrusion. The baby should sleep at night in a well-ventilated bedroom, in a bed by himself, and, if possible, in a room by himself. Keep the doors and windows open. Do not be afraid of the old superstition of the "night air." The fear of the night air likely arose from the fact that it used to be thought that malarial poisons arose in the night, before it was known that this disease is only carried about by mosquitoes, which fly chiefly after nightfall. In malarial regions, screens are indispensable. If the house is provided with a screened sleeping porch, there is no reason why the baby should not sleep out at night after he is three months old, provided, of course, he is carefully protected. Babies thus taught from the beginning of life to enjoy the open air will be far less sensitive than otherwise, and much less likely to suffer from colds and similar troubles as they grow older. Creamed Baked Potatoes Twelve medium-sized potatoes, a half cupful of cream, one cupful milk, three-quarter teaspoonful of salt. Pare the potatoes and place in the bottom of a pan, cover with milk and cream, add the salt, cover the pan and place in the oven; keep covered until the potatoes are almost done; then remove the cover and allow the milk and cream to cook down until they are somewhat thick. Mildew Spots. Mildew spots on linen should be rubbed with scraped chalk. The mixture is rubbed in and the linen spread on the grass. It should be wet a little from time to time as it dries. The spots ought to come out in two applications. To Avoid Scalding Steam. When turning boiling water from a kettle into the sink, run cold water at the same time, then there is no danger of the hands being scalded from the steam. An Old Man's Stratagem aN Pe ea oer ee nan SS ors an een Phillips’ theory was that it was better to be king of a village than the second ruler of New York. No less an authority than Julius Caesar had sajd that before him, in a slightly dif. ferent shape; but Caesar didn’t have to, prove it, and Phillips did. He spent his vacation in a little vil. lage in the Catskills, where the girls from the department stores went. It was @ quiet sort of place, and the quieter sort of girls went there. Phil Ups’s vacation unfortunately lasted a month. With a succession of young wom: en coming and going, Phillips, being a gentleman in appearance and having plenty of money, was in his element. He flirted with all and each, indiserim: inately. Naturally, he created a good deal of enmity at the little hotel. Any- one can do that, but Phillips thought he was a lady-killer. > Tused to watch him from the porch and I wished I were thirty years younger. I sbould have enjoyed noth- ing better than to take the young blackguard by the collar and trounce him soundly. Of course people set out to enjoy themselves, but Phillips had planned it all out before. Besides, the man was outrageous with his dude clothes and his generally offensive air. But it was none of my business, and I watched the affairs with three o1 foyr of the girls to whom Phillips swore eternal devotion until it came to Dorothy Raines. That set my back up badly. Dorothy was the niece of the hotel. keeper, and in the summer she helped in the hotel. In the winter, I believe she taught in the local school. I had wone there several successive sum mers, and I knew she was engaged to the finest of the young fellows of *% et ea a fase 4 ace age pages, = CSET ei | A, ae “er Pads, [: iin “he es xe ates, d a A Phillips Thought He Was a Lady. Killer. the town—Ned Walker. In fact, she ‘had confided to me that they meant to get married that fall. When Phillips spotted her I had to admit that his taste was good. Dor. othy would have been a belle if she had been togged up instead of wear ing her simple waist and skirt of vil lage make. But Dorothy was a sweet girl, and the thought of Phillips win ning her heart from Ned and then go ing complacently away was too much for me. Of course the girl couldn't resist the ‘open admiration of the city man. Dor- othy wasn’t experienced enough to be able to distinguish the gold from the glitter, and Ned hadn't the airs and graces of that man Phillips. Day by day [ watched the progress of the flirtation. Ned noticed it too, One evening there was a quarrel, and pres: ently Dorothy came round In°front of the porch, and her eyes were red, as if she had been crying. I saw Ned slouch moodily away, and a few min- utes later the girl and Phillips were talking together at the other end of the porch, Ned was an old friend of mine, and the next day I had a few words with him. ‘Ned,” I said, “if you had been cut ‘out fairly T wouldn't waste much sym- pathy on you. But that blackguard is only amusing himself. That's his fun, He wants to break her heart and then x0 back to the city. I've watched him try it on some of the other girls here. Ned, be a man!” “I'd like to thrash the fellow!” said Ned, doubling his fists. “Why don't you?” I asked, looking at his husky build. “It would do him good. And it would show Miss Dor. othy who's the better man.” “E can't thrash a fellow for taking my girl away,” said Ned, “It's up to me to keep her.” “That's true,” [ answered, “but thrash him for being a blackguard. Thrash him on general principles, Ned.” “What's that?” asked Ned; and I dried to explain. I painted Phillips’ character as it appeared to me. “Are you going to let Mise Dorothy’s heart get broken?” I inquired. “Of course you'll win her back afterward. But is the game worth the candle, looking = it from the woman's viewpoint?” “No, sir,” said Ned, and I knew that he had made up his mind. I saw the two together most of the day, and I wondered when Ned would bring off his coup. He chose the best time—after dinner. They were walk- ing in the grounds, and I suppose I had no business to follow Ned when I saw him go after them; but I want- ed to see Derothy's eyes opened, and that 1s my only excuse for what I aid. I saw Ned go up to the couple and speak to Phillips. I don't know what ho said, but I heard Phillips’ snort of contempt. “Can you fight?” Ned demanded next. “Lean whip a dozen like you,” Phil- lips retorted, “Then I'm going to thrash you on general principles," said Ned, and I could hardly keep from clapping my hands and crying “bravo!” Miss Dorothy had hardly recovered from her surprise when the two were at it, hammer and tongs. I had not expected Phillips to put up much of a fight, but it was a case ot Ned doing his best to stop Phil- lipps’ rushes. After the first minute Phillips knocked Ned down, and, when he got up Phillips let him have it again, Ned didn't get home more than once, and in the end Ned was stretched out upon the ground, halt unconscious, It had been Phillips from beginning to end, and he han- dled his fists ina very creditable way. I suppose it was fear of the public- ity, but all the while the girl stood there like a statue, and never moved or spoke. Nobody saw me, and I felt pretty badly to see how my plot had miscarried. Because my idea had been to show the girl what a coward Phillips was, and, instead, it was Ned who got the thrashing. “Had enough?” sneered Phillips, standing over Ned. Ned groaned; he couldn't raise himself from the ground. “It this brute has had his lesson, let us continue our walk, Miss Raines,” suggested Phillips. And suddenly the girl turned on him with flashing eyes. “You brute!" she cried. “How dare you! How dare you fight a man weak- er than yourself! Go away at once! Do you hear me?” She stamped her foot like a fury. ‘The next moment she was kneeling at Ned's side, calling him all the en- dearing terms in her vocabulary. Her arms Were round him, and with her skirt she began sponging away the blood that covered his face. “Forgive me, Ned,” she was sobbing. I went away then, because I real- {zed that I had no business there. But it seems strange to me; 1 had thought a woman loved strength in a man, but if Ned had beaten Phillips he would have lost her forever. It sort of upset my ideas—and at my age one doesn't like that. | Phillips departed the next morning by early train, end I imagine he won't show his face up this way in a hurry again. Dorothy and Ned are to be married in October—and I've been asked to stay on and be best man. It’s curious; should think Ned would never want to seo me again after that beating. But I suppose he con- siders all roads good ones that lead to Dorothy. | Making a Life Mask. A well-known New Yorker entertain. ing some friends at dinner showed them his life mask, then told them with feeling how the mask had been made. “They put me in a Chair,” he said, “tied a towel around my head, plugged my ears with greased wool and stuck a quill In each nostril. ‘Shut your eyes,’ said the workman, drawing near with a ladle and a large steaming tureen of pink plaster of paris of the consistency of "thick soup; and he slapped the stuff on my face in great ladiefuls. I could feel it running down my collar and over my chest just as soup would have done. 1 motioned with my hands wildly. The man laughed. ‘That's all right, boss,’ he sald, and kept slapping the hot, horri- ble, slimy stuff upon me. He stopped when my face was incased in a halt- inch coat of plaster. He told me tt would harden in a few minutes. It did, but the minutes were awful. As the plaster dried It seemed to shrink, shrinking my skin with it. And the heat of the thing! And the difficulty in breathing through the quills stuck in my nostrils! Then very carefully, very slowly he drew the hardened cast from my face. I gripped the chair arms and shrieked.” Thritt, Generally speaking, thrift is not born with us, nor it is thrust upon us; it is, In the great majority of cases, a matter of delicate and intentional acquirement by means of a self-im- posed obligation with a definite pur- pose in view. And withal, to reach the maximum of effective accomplish: ment there must be a penalty which gently, but firmly and constantly, in- sists upon the regular observance of all those factors which contribute to the ultimate success, That is, in get- ting into debt one realizes the sense of obligation, pride is at stake, and cer- tain self-denials are made to effect a saving and meet the payments as ar- ranged. ‘The result is a distinct gain, it the debt was properly incurred, Circumstances Alter Cases.

The recent explosion in the base- ment of Manhattan's palatial Police headquarters was a great piece of im- Pudence, but in this respect it scarcely exceeded some other points in bomb history here. Many men have been the victims of several successive bombs, with the police striving to give them protection all the time. ‘There are notorious “bomb blocks” in the city, where the inhabitants time and again have been thrown from their beds in the middle of the night and descended the fire-escapes in barefoot, nightie-clad, squeaking multitudes. Bomb explosions fall naturally into three major groups: Hirst, blackmatlers’ crimes, intend- ed to intimidate obstinate intended victims of extortion. Second, anarchists’ crimes, meant to protest against society. Third, deeds of private vengeance. Records of bomb explosions here &re not carefully kept and it is prob- able that many frightened victims of minor explosions never bring the mat- ter to the attention of the police. But it is known that in 1914 there were at least fifty bombs set off, or about one a week. The year preceding, 1913, saw more than four times as many, or about 250 crimes of this character, brought to the attention of the authorities and the newspapers. The drop in bombs fol- lowing this high tide was largely due to the rounding up of the notorious bomb gang which included Antonio Levantino, “Zump” Piccarelle, and “Burkey.” ss “Zump"” confessed touching off 34 bombs in different parts of New York city. He said the band had received from $25 to $75 when it set off bombs. for other persons. They had also murdered a Chinese for §2, and stoien @ young girl for $50. With the rounding up of this gang and the ending of the activities of its “bomb factory,” the police thought bomb planting would cease. But it did not, proving that many single criminals or independent bands were operating with explosives, Undoubtedly the ease with which dynamite and other high explosives can be procured and the widespread knowledge of their use in this city is to a large extent to blame for con- ditions. Enormous rapid transit projects, employing tens of thousands of workmen, are under way, besides the countless other construction Jobs, most of which involve blasting into the solid rock base of Manhattan Is- land, Italian laborers can easily steal a few sticks of dynamite from a con- tractor for whom they are working. | Probably 90 per cent of bomb crimes are committed by Italians, the vic- tims usually being other Italians. The police have never been able to persuade Italians upon whom the blackmailers of their own race have set their mark to co-operate in thwart- ing the gangs. When an Italian shopkeeper has prospered he {s apt to be preyed upon by men coming from his own town or province tn Italy. The “Black Handers" who attacked him probably leave immigrants from other sections of Italy, and, indeed, all other persons fn peace. Until the last two years Italian blackmailing bombs were confined to the foreign sections of the city, but recently prosperous Italians have found that moving their residence to a better district has not saved them. There have been several crimes of START GUN CLUB AT SEA Stewards on Great Liner Given Some Target Practice at Kite and Periscope. ‘The first transatlantic gun club that ever bored evanescent holes in the western ocean has arrived by the White Star liner Arabic.

Churches, courthouses, the resi- dences of men of wealth and position are their targets. A bomb was found at the door of Andrew Carnegie’s fine mansion upon Fifth avenue a few weeks ago. All well-to-do citizens are being forced to employ bodyguards. In the fine districts east of Fifth ave- nue the dwellers on a block often club- together to hire an armed night pa- trol. This is a protection against bur- glars, but the growing danger of the bomb crank has caused the guards to increase in number, Only an insignificant percentage of bomb crimes result in arrests and convictions of the perpetrators. Plant- ing a bomb seems about the safest of outrages. The bomb itself is almost always so shattered that the fragments are useless as clues. Even where the bomb does not ex. plode it is seldom useful as evidence. On the morning of November 14, 1914, ‘the fuse of a bomb sputtering under a bench in the Tombs police court caught the eye of Policeman George L. O'Connor. He started forward and grabbed the bomb, which had only three inches of fuse visible, and started for the doorway. He tried to rub the fuse out, and failing in that, he jerked the insulated fuse from its fastening in the heart of the explo- sive. The bomb consisted of two pounds of mixed black and smokeless powder and about thirty loaded car- tridges, O'Connor's quickness and _ pluck probably saved the lives of Magis- trate John Campbell, his wife, and many spectators in the courtroom. The placer of the bomb was never de- tected. This bomb was ctnnected in the minds of the police with four others of the same year. On February 6 an unexploded bomb had been found in the church of St. Mark’s-in-the-Bouwe- rie after the anarchist Frank Tannen- baum and his followers had spent the night there, having been fed and re- ceived a comfortable place to sleep. On October 14 a bomb exploded in beautiful St, Patrick’s cathedral, wrecking several pews and breaking a memorial window. On October 14 the rectory of the Catholic church of St. Alphonsus was damaged by a bomb placed outside. In the church the Preceding winter more than 190 of Tannenbaum's followers had been ar- rested and later they were sentenced to the workhouse in Magistrate Camp- bell’s court. On November 11 the fine new Bronx county courthouse was injured by a bomb, apparently meant for County Judge Gibbs. In this connection also should be mentioned the premature explosion of a bomb July 5, 1914, in the nest of an- archists in upper Lexington avenue, which wrecked a tenement, killed two men and a woman high in anarchist councils, and injured several other persons, The anarchists attempted to give a magnificent funeral for these “mar- tyrs,” but were squelched by the po- lice. With this revelation of anarchist men, who needed diversion when there were so few passengers aboard. Nevertheless, things happened as the Arabic was going down the Mer- sey and into the German war zone around the British Isles that inspired the ordinary neutral passenger to in- fer that the Arabic was preparing to protect herself against the attacks of German submarines. Passengers noted that sand bags had been piled high eround the steer- ing gear to protect it from possible shell injury. Passengers also re- activities the police made elaborate preparations to trap the malcontents. On March 2 of this year they seized two young anarchists, Frank Ablano and Charles Carbone, in the act of setting off a second bomb in St. Pat- rick’s cathedral, The capture was most dramatic, being made in the midst of a church service. The po- lice had been stationed all over the interior of the edifice, some dis- guised as scrubwomen and others as ushers. A young detective who bad wormed his way into the anarchists’ contidence was there obviously as their confederate, and the bomb plant- ers were allowed actually to wght their fuse before they were arrested and the fuse stamped upon. Among the numerous unexplained mysteries is the bomb received through the mails by Judge Otto Ro- salsky in his home on Riverside drive March 16, 1912, It was meant to explode on opening, but something went wrong in the mechanism and the Judge was not injured, The famous bomb expert of the po- lice department, Owen Egan, was summoned to take charge of the bomb, and while he was examining it in the Judge's Mbrary it went off, badly in- Jured Egan's hands and shattering much of the furniture in the room. Another sad and mysterious case was the death of Ida Anusewitz, a stenographer who was killed Decem- ‘ber 12, 1913, by the explosion of an in- fernal machine she received in the mail of her employer, the president of a bottling company. On February 2, 1913, Mrs, Madeline Herrera was killed in her home in the Bronx by the explosion of a bomb which her husband had picked up in the vestibule. On February 3, 1912, Mrs. Helen Taylor was almost instant- ly Rilled by. a bomb contained in a large ctgarette box whieh she received from a uniformed messenger in her home at No. 103 West Seventy-sev- enth street. An attempt was made to explain the Rosalsky bomb and the Herrera and Taylor murders by the activities of Henry 3. Klotz, a city draftsman. Attention was directed to him when he was fatally injured while expert- menting with explosives in his home, but these three mysteries remain un- solved, Gamblers’ wars were a fruitful souree of bombs before the murder of Herman Rosenthal by Charles Becker and his accomplices, but of late the gentlemen of chance have been less active. So Departed the Colossus. The remains of the Colossus of Rhodes have been dispersed beyond possibility of recovery, or even of trac. ing. It stood for little more than halt a century, and then, in 224 B. C., was overthrown by an earthquake. ‘The Rhodians raised from benevolent out- siders large sums of money for its res- toration, but divided the fund among themselves, asserting that the oracle of Delphi had forbidden them to set it up again.

Work wood ashes into the soil about the plants, and remove a little soil immediately about the base of each plant and scatter tobacco dust there liberally. This will not injure the plant, but it may discourage the pest in its effort to get at the stalk of it. Of late, many collections of asters have been ruined by this grub. ‘The plant will look perfectly healthy today; tomorrow it will have a with- ered appearance and the next day it will be yellow, and if you take hold of its top and give a slight pull, off it will come close to the ground.

BENNINGTON. ‘Thanks to the skill of the hybridist, we now have races of lovely, fragrant, ever-blooming carnations, dwarf and bushy in growth, that show buds and flowers in four or five months after the seeds are sown. The flowers, too, are not only borne in abundance, but are of all the lead- ing shades of color, from white through shades of pink to dark crim- son, and from cream-to bright yellow, as well as striped and blotched. ‘These new carnations are as easily grown as Japan pinks. ‘The sceds may be sown in a box in the window dur- ing March or April, and the plants set out where they are to bloom when the weather becomes warm and settled. Give them a sunny bed, and if you ‘wish a fine show of flowers from each plant, pinch off the first stem that Pushes up to bloom. This will cause the plant to stool out, and develop sey- ‘eral stalks, each of which will bear a cluster of buds and flowers. ‘A rich, rather tenacious soil suits the plants, and they should stand eight inches apart in the row or bed.

Here is where the necessity of keeping watch of them comes in. When the first beetle is discovered; prepare an emulsion after the follow- ing formula: One-half pound of any good, white soap, reduced to a liquid by melting. One teacupful of kerosene. Let the soap, to which a little water may be added while it is melting, come to a boil, then add the kerosene; re- move from the stove and stir vigorous- ly while the mixture is cooling. A sort of jelly will result. Use a part of this to ten parts of water. Stir well to make sure that the emulsion unites | with the water and apply as a spray.

Probably 50 per cent of the supposed inventions brought to patent attorneys here are either impractical, or the patent would be comparatively worthless if granted. These men are discouraged by reputable attorneys from wasting their time and money.” Drug Store Glide Is the Latest in Washington TS drug-store glide is here! During these torrid evenings, with the Fah- renheit thermometers vying with Bethlenem stotks in the battle for as- cendancy, the popularization of the modern dances goes upward and onward with the speed of a Teutonic advance now practically every residential section has one of these retreats where youthful couples may dance while awaiting the preparation of their perspira- tion-producing prescription. It has even traveled downtown. All of these places have either highly polished wooden or tile floors, which make excellent gliding surfaces. The music comes from a victrola or, if adjoining a cafe or a hotel or exclusive apartment house, the music 1s fur- nished by the regular orchestra. The formula is simply to order the drink and, while the dispenser is drawing, shaking or shoveling, according to what the order might be, the couple glides off in a two-step, hesitation, fox trot or some other gyration. ‘The drink served, one-half is drunk, and then comes an informal intermis- sion. During this hiatus another dance is engaged and when the glass is drained a parting whirl is enjoyed. The girl politely declines a second drink. But after a short walk the couple either returns to the original place or seeks out some similar estab- lishment where the same courtesies are understood and extended. Some particularly shy and demure maidens were rather loath to accept the invitations of the management offered through signs which simply read “Dancing.” But now it has become rather eoumentional and there is little hesitancy in joining the others on the floors. | f Fi : President Belongs to the Cane-Carrying Brigade | eat | (AL tHoueE President Wilson does not call his fondness for walking sticks a fad, a hobby, or even a habit, the fact remains that he has a large and Tandnome Gallection: tn whithe lis thko A leeeie: intersat and constant pleas: | intrinsic value and more intimate association. Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to the president, is never seen without his neat blackthorn, any more than Franklin Lane, secretary of the interior, can be found upon the street without his malacca. The secretary of state doubtless has walking sticks, but no one remem- bers seeing him “wear” one 6n any occasion whatever. Both the assistant secretary of state, Mr. Osborne, and the third as- sistant secretary of state, Mr. Phillips, have sticks, but not “the habit,” while the second assistant secretary, Mr. Adee, is identified with no other con- comitant than his bicycle, with which he has toured the highways and by- ways of Europe every summer for many years, until the war made it im- possible. ‘The secretary of the treasury wears a slim, snakewood stick, a gift from one of his sons at Christmas, and it is not unusual to meet Secretary McAdoo on the street with Comptroller of the Currency Williams, both of them sw‘nging their sticks as vigorously as they walk only—with a difference. Secretary McAdoo holds his exactly at the top, in the hollow of his hand, and brings it down to the pavement, tapping each step; Mr. Williams takes his stick half way between the crook and the end, and swings it hori- zontally, John R.

Admission 250 BARGAINS. A Reluctantly we turn our backs upon the adorably pretty afternoon gowns of organdie, net, embroidered volle and like fabrics, to consider those made of heavier materials. Not that the sheer things have outlived their usefulness (for they are worn all the year round), but the designers of new models in dressy gowns are thinking in terms of other fabrics just now. And if a new gown is needed at the fag end of the season it may as well be made according to the latest ideas. Crepe de chine, taffeta, satin, messa- line, all present themselves as avail- able for the afternoon frock. The continued vogue of taffeta is assured and an attractive frock made of it is shown here. Like a good many others it is easily within the scope of the am- ature dressmaker; there is nothing dif- ficult about its making. The main thing to remember in attempting to make an afternoon frock at home is that the design, however simple, should have some little touch of origi- nality and cleverness. To meet this need there is a great variety of good paper patterns, and one may add to the simplest of patterns little individual touches that captivate the attention and "make the gown," as the saying is. Combinations of taffeta and crepe Cotton Crepes for Nightdresses ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` Cotton crepe, in any degree of fineness, and therefore suited to many sorts of garments, is perfectly adapted to nightdresses. It may be used for them in either the sheer or heavier weaves, according to the ideas of the wearer. Most of it is made in plain white, but it comes also in the light colors and in figured patterns showing small flowers on a plain ground, so that a selection can be made to suit the style of the nightdress. For there are many styles to choose from, some of them plain to the length of staidness, and others elaborate to the verge of frivolity. is decorated with featherstitching on each side. Three side plaits, extending from the shoulder seams to the bust line, provide the required fulness. They are also featherstitched. There is a fad for this pretty old fashioned needlework just now. It has come in with smocking, shirrings, and other needlecraft of bygone days of leisure. Along with needlework simple hand crocheted or knitted laces are much evidence on feminine apparel, much to the advantage of its lasting qualities. These laces are so durable that they will outwear most fabrics o Even the plainest styles, when made up in the light tints of pink, blue, maize, or the flowered patterns, have the charm of pretty color to commend them. The empire design is liked because it insures a graceful garment, and no one could ask for greater simplicity. But among models that bid for the favor of those whose tastes are severe are the straight, plain pajama nightgowns made with high neck and 'ong sleeves. They have narrow turned cuffs and collar finished with featherstitching in silk floss. A box plait covers the opening at the front, whi$b extends to the waist lina. It --- and taffeta and voile make exceedingly effective frocks of this kind. Rich ribbons, introduced in girdles or otherwise, are just in the right place on them. Where one anticipates much service out of a single frock, a guippe which may be freshened up easily, helps out immensely, and there are many patterns made for wear with a guimpe of lace or net or sheer organ die. In the frock shown in the picture a hand-embroidered collar of hand kerchief linen and a flat bow of velvet ribbon finish the neck. Soutache braid covers the rather wide belt and the revers at the front of the bodice. It takes the place of cuffs at the end of the long and close-fitting sleeves. Cords and assels. Cords and tassels are a trimming feature worth noting. Satin cords with silk tassels attached are used on some of the new hats. Metallic cords and tassels are also used on hats. Cords and tassels are used at the girdle, sometimes, and often about the neck. When used at the neck, the cord is usually substituted by a ribbon, and the tassel is in the form of a beaded or jeweled pendant. I is decorated with featherstitching at each side. Three side plaits, extending from the shoulder neams to the bust line, provide the required fullness. They are also featherstitched. There is a fad for this pretty old fashioned needlework just now. It has come in with smocking, shirring, and other needlecraft of bygone days of leisure. Along with needlework simple hand-crocheted or knitted laces are much in evidence on feminine apparel, much to the advantage of its lasting qualities. These laces are so durable that they will outwear most fabrics on which they are used. A nightdress of crepe is shown in the drawing, having the sleeves and neck finished with a hand-crocheted beading which carries the narrow, lingerie ribbon used for adjusting the gown to the figure. It is made of light pink cotton crepe in a moderately heavy weave. It is graceful and simple and pretty. This is enough its favor to interest every woman but not all that may be said. It costs next to nothing and the fabric does not need to be ironed after it is washed. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. THE DOUGLASS UNDER COMPANY THE OUGLASS UNDERTAKING COMPANY J. R. CONTEE Pres. and Mgr.
