A model in a tailored gown of sorgo,
that made an early and Buccessful
entry Into tho race for favor, evidences
the combination of two Ideas. Loath
to part with tho trim-fitting and shape
ly coat that has held Its own bo long,
tho designer clung to the semi-Htted
body, tho revcrs and plain coat
sleeves, but wandered into new fields
in tho matter of tho coat skirt. This,
instead of being plain and shaped, is
straight and plaited, allowing a mod
erato llarc. Even so, tho plaiting Is
cleverly managed to preserve tho se
verely tailored appearance of a stylo
dear to tho hearts of Amorlcan wom
en and with very good reasons for be
ing a long tlmo favorite.
Tho skirt is cut to lit at tho normnl
waist lino and about the hips. Thence
downward it shows a gradual Hare, as
a concession to tho mode. It Is a lit
tle shorter than Instep length, and an
ideal model for a tailored walking
skirt. Lapped seams and machine
stitching, as In nearly all tailored
gowns, give tho required neatness of
finish.
A leather belt In the color of the
gown, piped with white; Is a survival
also of the preceding season. It might
be made of tho same material as tho
gown, and piped In self color.
This model is cspcclaly well suited
to tho heaviest materials used in
tailored suits. Homespuns, chovlots
Featuring Fur in
Perhaps It Is becauso we aro learn
ing tho valuo of unity in apparel that
hats and neck-pieces to match havo
been produced by milliners In greator
numbors than over. Or It may bo
that tho furoro for fur ovorywhero on
everything has brought It about. At
all ovonts. hats with neckpieces to
match make a featuro not to bo over
looked In the season's styles.
Turban shapes are usually chosen to
uso In theso sets. Wheli wide
brimmed hats aro used tho fur appears
In a band about tho crown, or in balls
sot at close intervals nbout it. Fur
balls, especially those of opossum
akin, aro among tho prettiest of trim
ming novelties. Theso and other fur
halls all set at the back, front and
sides of small velvet toques. A single
largo ball of opossum makes a pretty
trim for a brimmed street hut.
In tho plcturo above a turban of
black velvet appears, having tho coro
net faced with Krimmer. A steel and
Ornament for Table.
Sew a coarse llar.ael over tho bowl
of a broken Boblot. Wet tho llaunol

canary seed as will stick. Set this in
a glass dish of water In a warm room.

a beautiful center ornament for the

How to Tint Lace.
It may not bo generally known that
'ho beauUful parchment shade of lace
Thlch has been kept for any length
of tlmo can bo obtained accurately by
carefully dipping in a mixture of full
er's earth, to which has been added a
pinch of saffron; but very llttlo of tfio
latter must be used.
and tho mannish worsteds might bo
chosen for it.' In this case tho lapped
seams In tho coat would bo made
with the raw edge of tho lapped sido
showing and two or three parallel
lines of machine stitching following
tho seam lino with beautiful accuracy.
Plquo or dogskin or heavy washable
gloves, tan-colored gutters and a
tailored hat arc to be worn with this
suit for all weathers.
Matched Sets
velvet woodblno loaf Is poised against
tho crown at tho right front, where
tho coronet Is cut away.
Tho neckpleco is a band of velvet
edged with Krimmer, to which a plait
ing of velvet is mounted. It fastens
closo up about tho neck with a bow of
satin ribbon at one sido. A small roso
and leaf nestles just back of tho bow
against tho vclvot.
A short cape of velvet bordered with
fur and velvet ruff, trimmed In pointa
and lined with satin, compose tho oth
er neckpleco. Pointed tabs of vel
vet fall from tho capo at tho front.
It, fastens under a small ornament hav
ing two hanging tassels of chenille.
Velvet cut In points appears about
tho turban brim nnd a fur band and
tasseled ornament repeat tho trim
ming features of tho neckpleco.
No Wonder.
There were two Browns In tho vil
lage both llshermon. One lost hlo
wife and the other his boat at about
the same time. Tho vicar's wife
called, as sho supposed, on the widow
er, but really upon the Drown whoso
hont had gone down.
"I am sorry to hear of your fe.eat
loss," she said.
"Oh, It ain't much matter " was the
philosophical reply; 'slip wasn't up
to much."
"Indeed:" the surprised lady.
"Yes," continued Hrown, "she was
a rickety old thing. I offered her to
my mate, but ho wouldn't havo her,
l ve had my eyo on another for somo
tlmo."
Ant' then tho scandalized lady fled.
Lincoln. Humano treatment, prop
erly cooked and wholesome food and
tho honor system have combined to
reduce tho crhnlnnl class of Nebras
ka 15 per cent, Warden W. T. Kenton
told heads of tho fifteen Nebraska
state Institutions last week undoi
whose supervision they are.
Tho warden told briefly of the re
forms accomplished at tho peniten
tiary during the past three years, in
cluding tho nbollshlng of tho dope
traffic, Improving the food, starting a
prison school, where men are now
taught practical business methods
and trades, allowing tho rcen the
freedom of tho ynrd on Sundays and
holidays, introduction of baseball and
moving pictures and the adoption ol
a set of rules with less vigorous
penalties than before. Dr. W. M.
Baxter, speaking on tho need of a
state dentist, pointed out that the
state employed a veterinarian to look
after Its prize cattlo, but neglected
Us unfortunates most shamefully
Some of the Inmates at tho state In
Btltutlons suffer much pain because
of tho luck of dental attention, Di
Daxter declared. Superintendent P.
W. Booth of tho school for the deal
presented a paper in favor of the
oral training for the deaf. At the Ne
braska school for tho deaf 102 pupils
were using the oral system Instead of
the sign language, according to
"Booth.
To Fill Up Guard.
Immediate steps to round out
tho membership of the national guard
and make it not only up to, but
byond requirements, will bo taken bj
General Hall. Tho commanding offl
cor of the organization made
trips to Gordon, Gothenburg and Inter
mediate towns during tho past week
and took a look over organlzatloiu
which have been clamoring for admit
tance. General Hall has made a cleai
Distinction between preparedness aa
far as he Is able to reflect tho presl
dent's wishes and what some people
term "peace." Ho argues that pre
paredncsB does not mean war by anj
means. Ho believes It is insurance
against war, and thnt It Is tho same
kind of protection to tho nation thai
polico forces are to the cities and
sheriffs' staffs are to the counties ol
the state. "If we are to havo an ar
my and a navy," says the general
"we must havo thorn up to a polnl
whero they are worth something. II
would be folly for us to delude our
pelves Into belevlng that we had ma'
protection when a tlmo came wo ac
tually needed It and It proved to be
weak and ineffectual." The genera
is hopeful that no small amount ol
attention will bo given by tho comlns
congress to tho upbuilding of the na
tional guard organizations of tho var
ious states. He believes that tho mort
men who can seo voluntary service In
the guards, tho greater will bo th it
respect for law, and the greater w!l
bo their worth to tho country and tc
themselves because of tho dlsclpll
nary training which it offers.
