lace Is carried over and over, as In most mems
shoes, through about six pairs of eyelets. Above
that the lace zigzags over small studs, and Is
caught at the top over a Simpson clasp. This
method entirely does away with the old annoy

as readily as she does her gloves. The line Of
studs follows the cavity on the inside Of the
ankle, back OF the ankle bone, TO avoid any
chance OF striking in walking.

be maintained by brushing the hair straight

he had risen above the boys and meant
to make them all wear collars. Now
as matter of fact, it is the boys who
are rallying around Croker, for they
feel convinced that he is still one OF

power in connection with Croker are
alleged by the boys to be moonshine.
Cochran is declared by the boys to be
the head of the kid gloves. The boys
and the kid gloves. it may be explained,
are the two Tammany factions, but the
difference between them is just what
the boys and the kid gloves cannot
quite explain. There is a picture OF
Cochran now going about among the
boys in which that congressman is rep
resented with crown on his head. The
kid gloves have retaliated with big
portrait of the boss in fighting cos

how an internal Tammany campaigr

"About the only thing the sale of
which has been increased by the hard
times are diamond dyes. said Wichita
druggist. ''Women like to be well dress
ed, and they find that by the use of these
handy home dyes they can make an old
dress look like new one, prevent the
husbands clothes from getting shabby.
and keep the children nicely clothed.
While there are fifty different colors
in diamond dyes. the blacks Especial
kinds for wool, cotton, and silk and
feathers) are the most popular, as any
color can be dyed handsome black with
but little work or expense. The direc-
tions on the envelopes are so plain and
explicit that the most inexperienced can
can do as well as the professional dyers.
In one of the ladies' papers, a story OF
real life was printed, telling how winter
wardrobe was made from partly worn
clothing by the aid of diamond dyes.
GA tan colore flannel dress was taken
apart and washed and then dyed beauti-
full brown with seal brown diamond
dye. AS it is made very plain it can be
washed almost as easily as calico: for,
like other colors produced by these dyes,
it will never fade" 1t also tells of "a
suit that was dyed lovely shade Of
green" and other useful and handsome
gowns, cloaks and hats that were color
ed over with diamond dyes. Try a ten
cent package and see how easily fast
and beautiful color can be made over
any kind of goods.

company is the only line that gives the
