Irregular pattern before being dyed.
The parts covered by the thread are

of small sketchy circles or wheels. The

on the bias, wound twice around the

The flower fan is distinctively
pretty novelty this summer. 1t is wor-
thy OF its name, for It is composed en-
tirely of artificial flowers, and when
closed up looks very much Ike a
bunch of real flowers. Violets lilies
and roses seem to be the favorite flow-
ers, but the fanmaker has ignored In
his decorations scarcely blossom that
grows.
These fans have wooden sticks,
which are made to represent the
stems of the flowers.
The flower idea is also seen in pa
per fans. with long, slender sticks, at
the ends of which are nat double pa
per pansies or roses.
The Irritation fans are of feathers
They are miniature fans, made of
smooth, fiat little feathers, Tapped over
one another. Another dainty little ar
ticie is made entirely Of imitation ivo-
ry. bearing an initial or college colors
on the centre stick.
The gauze fans are still as popular
as ever, and some OF them are in most
exquisite coloring and design. Black
and white gauze ones are spangled
so densely that they resemble nsh
scales. Many of these fans have hand
painted designs and carved sticks. Fan
sticks are mostly in wood or mother
of-pearl, and are usually ornamented
with spangles. imitation Jewels, or in
laid designs in gilt-American Queen.

Care of Trees In Kansas City.

Kansas City is now setting an up to
date example for other towns in the
care of its trees. 1t has secured the
services Of a properly qualified city
forester and has passed ordinances reg
ulating the planting, trimming and care
of its trees in such terms and under
such provisions that its citizens will
realize their importance and the neces-
sity of conforming to them in wise
and cooperative spirit, says Park and
Cemetery. The press Is aiding In the
work to very appreciable degree, and
the result will be that In a few years
those who once knew the energetic
city in its practically treeless condition
will marvel at the change SO wise and
beneficial a programme has brought
about. 1t is always well said that
when the people are educated to the
degree Of recognizing the importance
of rules and regulations of practical
necessity they are at once loyal to
them. But to reach this point the req
uisite knowledge must be conveyed In
a comprehensive and attractive man.

HOOPESTON'S GROWTH.
How A. Illinois Town Got It's First
SchOolh house.

SchOO1hOuBe.
Few towns in Illinois have grown
faster than Noopeston, and its public
spirited citizens are rapidly pushing 1t
to the front. An example of the spirit
that has made Hoopeston what 1t Is
was shown early In its history, says
the New York Herald. When the time
came for the first schoolhouse to be
built, some Of the people wanted lit
tie one room, or at most two room,
building put up for the accommodation
of present needs. William Moore, who
is now a member of the city council
and will probably be the next mayor,
was a member Of the school board
when the question came up. He want
ed building large enough to accom-
modate the needs Of the city for years
to come, and many Of the public spir-
tied citizens agreed with him.
The assessed valuation Of the school
district was not sufficient to legally Is
sue bonds to cover half the cost of the
proposed building. A new valuation
had to be made. Lyford Marston was
elected assessor, and he assessed every
bit Of property, both real and personal,
at fully three times its actual value,
and a sufficiently high valuation was
recorded to allow the issue Of enough
bonds to build the sort Of schoolhouse
wanted. Accordingly handsome three
story building was erected with twelve
rooms Only two rooms on the lower
floor were finished up the first year,
and they were not filled for two or
three years.
Afterward, when the increase Of pop
ulation filed all the big building and
rooms had to be rented outside to &C
commodate the rapidly growing school,
the wisdom Of MIR. Moore and his CO.
conspirators became apparent. Now
three large buildings are required to
accommodate the schools. The people
who were acquainted with the scheme
for increasing the assessed valuation
paid their consequently enormous tax
es that year without murmur.
Those who were not in the secret
raised q terrific howl, but they had to
pay anyhow. They took their revenge
on the assessor by electing some other
fellow the next spring, who assessed
property at about one-half its actual
value. But when the true inwardness
of the matter finally came to the sur
face and its farseeing wisdom became
apparent Mr.. MarstOn was rewarded
for his high assessment by being sent
to the state legislature as represent
alive Of the district.

A Junior Improvement League.

The Civic Improvement league Of st.
Louis is planning the organization Of a
Junior civic improvement league. In
other towns and cities the greatest
amount of good toward the ultimate
identifying Of the city is accomplished
by the children. This system has been
in vogue in Brooklyn for the past ten
years, and it is a common sight to see
children run up to grown persons and
call their attention to bits of waste
paper which they have carelessly
thrown on the sidewalk and politely
ask them II they will not place them IN
receptacles which are provided for
them.
