The returns from Vermont and
Maine, every political precedent,
the large detection among promi.
nent republicans, the failure of
the trusts to respond to the impor-
tunities of Mark Hanna for funds,
all point unmistakably to the cleo
ton of Bryan.

The statesmen Of the past have
favored war and bonds as means
of bringing about a season of pros
perity. Mckinley has been no
exception. Will President Bryan
seek war in order to put money
into circulation and to find place
for idle labor? What to do with
idle labor will be the problem for
the next president to solve.

Table Decoration.

For dinner table decorations as far
as coloring is concerned it Is best to
keep to the warmer tints. Avoid the
use of white by itself and keep 10
shades OF crimson. old gold or even
bronze tones, the latter especially
where there Is large display of old
silver. The vases may be filled with
well berried holly points and mistletoe,
with Christmas roses as sort OF I'M
dergrowth to the various stands. Frost
ed branches and sprays are always
fashionable at this season and have a
very charming effect Their beauty
may he much enhanced by judicious
use of bright ribbon bows. Lamps and
candles must all have their shades to
match the principal coloring used in
the decoration. Tall tubes look very
well on a large table. especially where
space is considerations. G., where
the table is otherwise well laden with
dessert or with silver bowls Of bon
bons.

Turkey With sauaages.

A turkey garnished with sausage has
a very festive not to say bacchanalian
appearance. Three-quarters Of an hour
before the cooking is finished festoon 1t
with strings of link sausage. These
you must turn from time to time 80
that every part shall be as brown as
the bird itself. The better the flavor
OF the sausage of course the finer the
flavor OF the turkey. With this you
will want giblet sauce made by stew
ing and mincing the giblets and adding
them to the gravy in the pan after the
fat has been removed.
