MAY LOSE DIVISION
MEN PREPARING
PETITION ALLEGING ExcEs.
sIvE HIGH RENTALS.
Say They are Unable to Find Places of
Residence in Ottumwa-Ask That
Division Be Removed From ottumwa
to Seymour.

Alleging excessively high rentals
and inability to secure homes, pc
tition is being circulated among the
Milwaukee railroad men Of this city
asking that there be only one division
point between Nahant and Coberg in
stead of two and that the one be locat-
ed at Seymour. 1t is believed by many
that the petition will be considered
favorably by the company and that OF
tumwa will lose the division and sever
al hundred railroad men and their
families.
The petition although only in cir
culation few days is meeting with
general approval among the men and
it is said that when it is presented to
the company officials about June rs it
will bear the signatures of nearly ey-
cry Milwaukee man in the city. The
men say that their request to have the

A Japanese Porch Party.


In the warm weather Japanese
porch party is "a pleasant form of en-
tertainment. On the verandas place
tables and chairs for whatever game
is to be played, and shield them from
draughts with Japanese screens and
curtains. On strong cords, stretched
from post to postEor fastened on nails,
hang as many japanese lanterns as
you have, and for further decoration
use flowers, according to season, such
as iris blossoms, azaleas Or chrysan-
themums.
On the score cards paint sprays of
cherry blossoms, Japanese babies, little
umbrellas or fans. The prizes may be
a piece of china, a pretty fan, a paper
knife, or an ivory watch-charm.
With the. refreshments give the ia
vors-little boxes of preserved ginger
or candied cherries, on which sit jap
anese dolls. Ready made, these are
quite expensive, but they can be made
at home. For each favor buy small
box, Japanese dolls head and a fan.
The heads come on sticks, at various
prices, and the fans cost from one cent
to five cents apiece. On each box
cover paste some cotton batting, and
in this put the head. Then about each
figure drape a piece of silk, folded
like kimona Sew a big bow of silk
at>the back, and in the fold in front, to
represent sleeves, fasten the fan.

The three most pronounced vogues
in children's ready-to-wear suits this
year are the suspender dress and the
Russian blouse, one-piece, suits for
girls and the two-piece suits for boys
Suspender dresses are the most prac-
teal little garments for active girls
that have been seen in many a day
They launder acceptably, can be
evolved from remnants, and offer an
excellent opportunity for making use
of the little waists whose skirts have
been torn by the girl who is bit
hoydenish.
The suspender skirt generally has
front gore shaped neatly into the
waist, and the rest of the skirt is
plain and full. For the slender child
no gore is necessary, the plain, full
skirt, with gathers neatly distributed,
being preferred. The belt of the skirt
and the straps for the shoulder should
not be too wide, or they will give the
child bunchy look, neither should
they be trimmed, for the palmer and
simpler the suspender dress the More
becoming it is and the better it will
fulfill its mission.
In wash goods, cheviots, madras,
mercerized linens, cottons, ginghams,
chambrays, zcphyrs and piques all
make up into satisfactory garments.
There is a great demand for natural
toned gray and ecru linens, as they
ire best suited for wear at the beach.

or of white leather, if preferred
For girls from five to ten the one
piece frock with the shaped farine
skirt and pronounced waist line is well
liked. This may be developed in all
the stout wash materials, and is a
trif1e more tailored in its effect than
the loose Russian blouse affair. 1t
is generally laid. in box plaits, front
and back, with the opening in the
center of the back. These p1aits are
stitched down to the waist line, from
which point they flare. A belt of the
material is slipped through straps, and
if the frock is to be worn in the af-
ternoon, a sash of soft material may
be substituted for the belt. A pref
ty little frock on these lines is offered
in gray linen crash, with white linen
collars and cuffs, and a string tie
OF dark blue, to match the blue en-
broldery on the chevron. Such lit
tie frock may be worn to the break

Very few petticoats are shown for

Two-piece suits are prime favorites
with small boys, and they are most

gray. They come also in the most
delicate of tints for afternoon wear.

Sailor frocks have not been downed
by the newer vogues, and the modif-
cation of the hour is the removal of

w the most wise and provi-

ton that the supply of clothes pro-

family was not sufficiently generous.
Frocks which she counted on as being
most durable have yielded to the poor
laundry work inevitable at the aver

some of the accidents common to the
average youngster. She recalls with
dlsmay the weary hours put into tucks

fine theories about the cheapness and
durability of homemade garments
vanish, and she yields to a longing
for rest, and to the destinations of the
manufactured garments.

woods, and heavy mercerized cotton
that can hardly be distinguished from
silk. For wear with these, there are
trim little REFERS in the same material
and boleros finished with braid or

rows.
The ginps or little shirt waists to
be worn with suspender frocks are
almost invariably of plain white,

and perhaps tiny ruf1e of embroid-
