Gordon plating, using strip of ten

putting it on from FIVE to eight inches

January Ladies' Home Journal. "The
plating may be of cheap tsffeta, as
plaitings do not show the quality.
"Stitch on with the hem q row of
mohair skirt binding so as to project
beyond the plating and protect the
edge. This plating may be sowed to
the lining, which should be made q drop
skirt. Cut the silk over it in deep
scallops and finish with rows of black
velvet ribbon or tiny ruche Of black
gauze ribbon. Or the skirt may be
heightened with two narrow circular
ruffles.

Soldiers Exemption.
Woodbine Chonicle


In the last issue of the Twner or-
cured the following statement III re-
guard to Soldiers exemptions:
AN incorrect impression prevails
to some extent, at least in this county
concerning the exemption of soldiers
property mp to $500 valuation from
.taxtation. Now this is not due to Tia.
grace of the board of supervisors MOI
The grace of clerical officials. An ac,
of congress makes such action manda-
tory upon the supervisors and othe,
focal officers. aud they only carry oul
the directions of the national authori-
Lies and would fail in their duties il
They omitted so doing Every OLD
soldier is entitled to this benefit, bu
many of them have not claimed this
exemption and have paid taxes thai,
the law exempted them from"
Now we have placed a different con-
struction upon the law relative to this
matter and had advised some old sol
Tiers that they were notentitled to this
exemption. A number of these mel
we're frank enough to say they are new
IN doubt about the matter. We think
II there is man entitled to the bene-
hts of legislation it is the Union SOL
Tier. We seldom charge an old soldier
anything for legal or notaral work W..
To, or for any advice we give him.
But it is a little difficult sometimes t.
get him to understand that a lawyer

Information than one who has nevef

old soldiers and their widows, and al
so for the assessors, we quote article I
of section 1894 of tine code of Iowa:
The homestead, not to exceed $500
