Fashioned of burlap, tied at the
bottom of the legs and hooked over
Dolly's backbones, the pantalettes
were designed to keep the Hies off

The week before Mrs. Hass left

political activities, she visited her
farm at Manitowoc. Wis. She was
met with the news that Dolly wasn't
doing very well, gave little or no milk,
and was a nervous wreck, because of
the flies.
Mrs. Huss, who in her political
experience has learned to produce a
panacea for all troubles, hurried to

Senator Henry F. Ashurst of Ari
zona Is a lawyer and has been lum
berjack, cowboy, clerk, cashier, report
er, Justice of the peace, district attor
ney and speaker of the legislature.
So he's had a chance to learn by ex
perience. On his desk In the senate olllce
building lies an $8,000 book. The hook
Is entitled "Encyclopedia of Great
Men." When the senntor tlrst ijrrlvcd
In Washington an energetic solicitor
convinced him that It was his uty to
part with a photograph and $120. The
photogrnph, along with a biography,
was to appear In the encyclopedia, and
the $120 was to pay for the 12 vol
umes that would comprise the set.
The senator "fell" for It, and uf
ter a long lapse he received one vol
ume, the only one he ever got. On
the page preceding his photograph
was the likeness of a well-known Bow
ery bartender: on the page succeed
ing It was the sly visage of a "wildcat" oil promoter. And herein lies the moral:
Whenever anyone approaches tne Arizona senator wmi u nei-iii-ii-j-
scheme, or strives to borrow money he Is met with a polite "no."
Thereupon Is entered In the lly sheets of that historic .volume the sum
of money saved.
"That book," said the senator, pointing to It. "is the greatest Investment
of my life."
Suffrage and a 'Woman Over 2F
Miss ltose Young (portrait here
with) of the former National Ameri
can Women's Suffrage association
now the League of Women Voters
says a woman's age Is entirely her
own affair, so much so that even Uncle
Sam should keep hands olT. This
opinion is expressed following the re
fusal of Mrs. Helen 1 1 1 1 1 Mcf.'arter of
Kan.vas City to stale her exact age at
the registration polls, and her state
ment that site also would tight to make
It possible for women voters to give
their ages as "more than twenty-one."
Mrs. McCarter, who Is a political
leader in the middle West, was a dele
gate from Kansas. Hers was the
honor of nddrcslug the itcpuhllciin
national convention.
"There are two good reasons why
men and women should not be re
quired to give their age at the polls,
says Miss Young. The tlrst Is that
.my woman's age Is a personal matter.
"The other reason" way voters should be allowed to say merely flint they are
more than twenty-one' Is purely commercial. It cannot but be a commercial
detriment to a man or wonuth to be obliged to unearth a long procession of
years and to allow age instead of real enpudty to usurp Identity."
Kansas oltlcials are said to have stated that unless Mrs. Mct.'arter con
fides her precise number of years to the registration clerk, she will not, be
allowed to cast her ballot in November.
L
Krassin: "Bourgeois Bolshevist"
Leonid Borisovitch Krassin, who
came Into the public's attention when
he went to London this summer as
head of a commission to negotiate the
reopening of trade relations between
soviet ltussla and the outside world,
has been one of the few "moderates"
to he given a place of responsibility
In the soviet governmental machinery,
and has been characterized us a
"bourgeois holshevist."
For engaging In n students' dem
onstration Krassin was expelled from
the Petrogrnd Technological Institute.
Subsequently he engaged In a num
ber of plots against the cznrlst regime,
hut continued to advance In his pro
fession, that of an electrical engineer.
Following the holshevist coup of
October, 1017, Krassin was offered a
sent In the ministry, which he declined,
as he thought Lenlne's adventure too
risky und his theories too sweeping.
Hut his relations wltli I.enine were
cordial nnd lie accompanied Lenlne and Trotzky when they went to Brest
Lltovsk to negotiate the treaty with (lermany.
When It became apparent that the holshevist government would Inst,
Krassin threw in his lot with It nnd became commissary of food In the red
army.
TX THE making of dress accessories1
A ribbons appear to have eclipsed all
otluc materials. Everything from
lufts to shoes and from undies to
wraps looks to ribbon for adornment
and, besides being used for mnklng
garnitures, It plays a part In the con
struction of many garments. To begin
at the beginning In ribbon accessories.
Ik to begin with sashes. There Is a
world of them to consider, from the
simplest bonds of the narrow fash
ionable two-toned, plcot-edged ribbons
that have decked sheer summery
frocks, to gorgeous and Intricate af
fairs In rich moire or brilliant brocade
that are elaborated Into bodices and
draperies. There are sashes for aft
ernoon and evening gowns and there
are sashes for street gowns, all as dif
ferent In character as the frocks them
selves are. There are sashes that are
nrolonged Into trains and others that
become draperies for skirts or aspire
Into hodlees. with the uld of mallnes
or net or lace. Frocks are really
merely lovely back grounds for these
ambitious efforts of the accessory de
signer. An affair of this kind claims consid
eration hi the group of sashes pic
tured.1 This extravagant ami Ingenious
arrangement consists of ati overbodlce
and girdle which becomes a ripple of
nlalts over the hips ami blossoms Into
loops and four hanging ends at the
back. Two long ends reach tne notxoiu
of the skirt and are edged with frills
nf uiirrow bice. These and tne two
shorter ends are rounded. I be filmy
gown serves to set olT this elaboration
of the sash Into the most Important
feature of the costume. It would be
effective In any of tins lovely colors
used for evening dress.
A much simpler and more popular
sash Is made of wide, soft and plain
'satin ribbon. It Is adjusted about the
waistline In a crushed girdle that Is
brought twice around and raised at
the left side. It Is necessary to stay
a girdle of this kind with wire or
other Miiinort. It Is finished at
the buck with two loops and two ends
and over Its fastening at the side, a
spray of small roses takes up the color
of the ribbon and repeats It In many
delightful tints.
A description of sashes for evening
frocks might go on Indefinitely, there
are so many of them In such varied
arrangements, but their growing Im
portance In tailored frocks compels
attention. For these there are line
tailored sashes like. that pictured in
the group shown here, and others,
less staid. This one is made of black
sal In ribbon folded and arranged Into
two loops and one looped end. The
folds are lacked to place. 1 nese iuii
ored girdles and tailored hat orna
ments are very Interesting and design
ers find It worth while to specialize
In making them.

FOOD FOR THE ILL.
Indigestion, stomach trouble of vari
ous kinds as well us Intestinal troubles
have so in n u y
forms und causes
that It Is never
safe to trust one's
own Ideas in re
gurd to the kind
of food o ii o
should ent. A
physician after
diagnosis will give n list of tlie
various foods It Is safe to eat ;
however It Is probable that toast
which Is lightly toasted on the out
side, soft and full of moisture Inside
Is unwholesome for the most healthy
stomach. Toast should be made of
bread at least two days old, cut one
half Inch thick nnd dried for a few
moments In the oven to remove any
moisture, then while still hot from the
oven slowly toasted a golden brown.
Too many cooks serve toast by tho
recipe given by the small boy "toast
bread until black, then scrape It at
the kitchen sink."
Eggs, milk and combinations of eggs
nnd milk when carefully prepared In
regard to the one who Is to ent tin
dish nro foods which will be taken
with comfort.
Custards of nil kinds, cooked Just
long enough to bo smooth nnd velvetr
nrc not monotonous though served
often.
Fried foods of all kinds should be
eliminated as they are especially hard
to digest.
Fruit Juices, Jellies, gelatine dishes,
nnd seu moss are desserts which may
bo commonly served In ordinary cases.
Apple Custard. Tako five well
beaten eggs, add a qunrt of milk and
one pint of strnlned npplo sauce.
Sweeten nnd flavor to taste and bnko
carefully until firm. Set the pan of.

CHILDREN AND BOOKS.
It does the child no harm to make
the acquaintance of hooks which were
not written for children. In a homo
where the great books that have In
spired or amused successive genera
tions are accessible an actlve-niliided
child Is likely some time to get
at them. If we wnnt our children to
fa' in love with the better kind ofi
books let us provldo them with oppor
tunities for meeting such books with
out too much rormnllty.
