Princess Charles of Denmark, the
King of England's versatile and live
ly youngest daughter, adds spinning to
the list of her many accomplishments,
She is good spinner, and this is by
no means her only handicraft, for she
is an adept at wood carving and book
binding, as well as being a clever
photographer. Before her marriage
Princess Maud occasionally appeared
in public as 'AIiss Mills" when stay

White furs are to be in favor.

White furs are to be in favor.
In the new dress shoes cloth uppers
are seen.
New raincoats shown are almost in
visible check.
Dainty fall and winter hats are
made Of chenille
Fur coats are made with vests of
embroidered cloth.
Changeable silks are much in evil
dence In the seasons showings.
Brims of one color and crowns of an
other are noted in the new hats.
New silk waists have round yokes
embroidered with pompadour flowers.
New shades in taffeta silk are shown.
for it is said taffeta will be popular
for winter costumes.
Black hats are shown either trimmed
with bright green coque plumes or
with vivid orange ones.
In the dull glaze-finished patterns
now so modish are shown vases of vio-
let color, new departure.
A new velvet is mirrored. but the
pressing is done at irregular intervals
and at some distance apart.
Velvet coats will be worn with
cloth skirts of similar color. These
coats will have shaped skirts and will
be deliberately trimmed.
Kid belts, especially those in black
or white, are to retain their popularity.
Any buckle may be WORE with them.
but the harness buckle is considered
the smartest.
Veilings are more elaborate than in
summer, many of them being embroid-
cred In floral designs, printed in dainty
colors like the chiffons and mousselines
for evening gowns.
Novelties in velvets include clever
imitation of furs and almost every fur
is reproduced as nearly as may be in
these. These are for millinery use and
browns and grays are especially desir
able for draped chapeaus.
Drop skirts and petticoats are no
wider at the bottom than heretofore
but the founcings are put on fuller and
the boning or insertion Of canvas gives
the necessary expansion at the bottom

Men that Mothers Make.
Show me that boy VINO nightly bows at
mothers knee to pray;
Who wears her golden precepts in his
heart;
Who lays his hand in hers and seeks her
counsel day by day;
Whose path in life from hers lies not
apart,
And thus his future I'll descry:
His name in honor will climb high"
Show me that youth whose good right
arm encircles mothers form;
Whose lips fear not to kiss her faded
cheek;
Who lives for her; to shield her and pro-
tect her from all harm,
Who comforts her when she is old and
weak;
And in the coming years see
A man for all eternity.
Show me that man whose life is pure;
that man who claims success:
Show me that man who treads the
ways Of fame;
That man whose deeds adorn the name
of truth and uprightness;
Whose soul knows not the furnished
blush Of shame,
And in his glory thus arrayed
Behold a man that mother made

last days of the session, it appears
likely the next campaign will be
fought largely upon the tariff issue.
The Democrats are giving indications

their cry for free trade will be the

MADE THEIR REPORT.
water Works Committee Visited
Flint and Ann Arbor--Another
Junket Planned.


The water works committee APP
pointed by the council returned from
their junket last Thursday, having
visited Flint and Ann Arbor, where
they improved every minute of the
time In getting valuable pointers re-
garding water works and sewerage.
In their report they recommend en-
gaging an expert engineer to look
over the city and draft plats, plans
and specifications for thorough wa
ter system. That under no circum-
stances should river water be used,
but that wells be driven and water
tested by an expert. That reservoir
or standpipe system be established.
That the greatest care be provided
for the purchase of good machinery,
the proper laying of pipes, etc., in
the event that should the city desire
to purchase the system in the future
1t would obtain a good plant.
Ann Arbor is supplied with water
by private corporation, from flowing
wells forced snto a reservoir on an
elevation 2 miles from the center of
the city. The committee were ia
vorably impressed with the system.
Further Investigation will be made
by another committee starting May
III, composed of ID. G. Sheldon, Geo.
