GIRLS WANT INSTRUCTOR
in BASKETBALL GAME

-.There..is considerable dissension in
the girls half of the high school
athletic association. The girls are de-
sirous of renewing their basketball
practice, but have no coach and the
male half of the association viii not
sanction their hiring a paid coach.
The girls declare they pay as much
dues into the association as the boys
and the latter buy baseball outfits
from the treasury and spend the dues
in devious way and they are not
allowed any share in spending the
money for athletic purposes.
The girls are wroth at the injustice
and there is considerable talk about a
girls athletic association grazing the
high school, which will have the
privilege of spending the money in
the treasury for basketball outfits and
anything dear to the feminine heart
in the athletic line.

knives between George Potts and

of several men after a desperate
struggle. Bith were terribly slashed

Fruit for Breakfast.

1t is a good thing to eat fresh fruit for
breakfast, and baked OF stewed apples
generally agree with the most delicate
digestion. Green or half-ripe apples
stewed and sweetened, are always a good
summer dish, and raw apples are better
than many liver pills. Oranges are ex-
tremely wholesome IS a rule, and to-
matoes are very beneficial, but the skins
of the latter should not be eaten. Less
bacon and more fruit during the hot
weather is a good rule, and the old say
ing, IAN apple a day keeps the doctor
away" has, like many old sayings,
a good deal of common sense and wis

VOGUE OF EMBROIDERY.
Blouse Of the Day Trimmed with
Embroidery and This Trimming
Comes in Wonderful Variety.

Embroidery is the chosen trimming
for the modish blouse, and Is more
often than not accompanied by inset
valenciennes. Naturally machine en-
broidery is resorted to for the cheaper
waists and sometimes 1t is really quite
pretty IL artistically designed and
done on fine material, but, of course,
hand embroidery is the height of dain-
tiness and modishness.
Openwork embroidery, heavy padded
embroidery, delicate tendril and spray
embroidery. all are used by the blouse
makers, and often several different
kinds of embroidery are combined upon
one blouse, the unique of openwork
English embroidery and heavy padded
embroidery being especially liked.
The fine embroidery such as Is used
upon baby clothes is usually associated
with inset valenciennes upon the
sleeves of null, batistc or lawn; but on
some models it forms tnedrils and buds
around large flowers Of padded work.
Little panels or medallions of such del
icate embroidery, shaped to fit round
shoulders and throat inset with real
v~alenciennes insertion, form the shall
low Jokes of sheer blouses and the
cuffs to match, and other models havo
yoke effects of valenciennes inset in the
material or put together with openwork
stitchery, while the fine embroidery ap-
pears only in sprigs or garlands down
the fronts below the yoke.
The embroidered blouses of heavy
linen and crash are fashionable, though
not so popular as the more sheer
waists, and bold embroidery designs
are selected for these, with heavy cluny
or other bold lace, If lace Is used at all.
One sees, too, linen blouses not intend
ed for Tubing and trimmed in hand
some Irish crochet or other handmade
lace, with q little valenciennes to
soften the lines at the throat. Some
of the Irish lace will wash we'll, but the
more elaborate designs and raised
motifs require the services Of a profess
sional cleanser.
This Irish crochet has obtained a
vogue hardly anticipated by even its
most ardent admirers. The Irish
makers cannot begin to meet the de-
mand, and even though lacemakers all
over the continent are hard at work on
it they cannot turn out enough.-N. Y.

II H s~nw1He-Room.


The finest un1ergarments are sewed
entirely by hand; but for ordinary wear
an Improvement upon entirely machine
made garments can be made by the APP
plication of some hand work.
Bindings stitched to garments on the
wrong side by the machine, then turned
to the right side, and felled down by
hand, laying and telling each gather,
make bands that are neat and quickly
put on. Common flannel skirt bands are
neatly and quickly made by doubling
the band and basting it to the right
side of the garment, making a narrow
seam and stitching the same on the ma
chine, and then o~vercasting the seam
finely.
A great improvement can be made
over the old way Of basting on ruiies
that are to be sewed on by hand by pin
ming the rufile to the garment every inch
or two. using fine pins and placing them
vertically up and down between the
gathers. This does away with the ir-
regular arrangement Of the gathers
often eel on rufies.
All buttonholes for underwear should
have a bar on the outside as well as on
the inside ends. Without this they
viii tear and ruin the band.
When pulling threads for hem-stitch-
ing, especially on fine cloth. pull out
one thread the entire length of the
cloth, then draw out for an inch the
required number of threads: by this
means no mistake can be made in the
number drawn.
Hamburg may be inserted in the
hens of underwear by first cutting
the hem. this to be used afterward as
a facing and placing the right side
of the garment and the right side Of
the edging together. Put ON the facine
and haste the three parts together ant
stitch; then turn up the facing and
hem to the garment. Many women
fell the facing at top and bottom; the
work looks better the first way, and
there Is n telling less to be made

committee, it would give you a fit. He
never rejected a dollar in the world.
He would take every dollar that was
paid him.
In denying that he had ever author
lied the use of money to influence leg
isiattve action he grew excited, leaning
forward and shouting his answers dra-
matlcally. In defending his methods
he deflantly contradlcted Mr.. Hughes
more than once.
AS to what Judge Hamilton had
done with moneys collected for ex
penses, however, Mr.. Mccall did not
pretend to have any knowledge. He
admitted that the Judge" from Albany
never had his expense account audited.
He used the money in the conduct of
his business for the company. This
business, as previously described by
the witness, had included looking after
taxation and legislation throughout
the United States in behalf of the New
York Life.
Mr.. Mccall was asked If he knew
anything about the $4,000 paid by his
company to the Republican national
committee in the last campaign. This
was the contribution admitted by Mr..
Perkins at the last session of the com
mittee.
Il had full knowledge of it, said
Mr.. Mccall.
"And you approved of it,"
"And ! approved of it, and l do so
now"
"In 1896. if it is interesting at all to
know my politics. l was a Democrat
up to the nomination of Bryan. When
they adopted the free silver platform
in 1896 | made up my mind that |
|, would do all in my power to defeat that
candidate and that platform, and | did
it with my Iheart and soul. l had no
idea in my mind about politics at all,
but / had a duty and a trust regarding
the New York Life policy holders. And
/ felt that If free silver in the country
was approved and that If Bryan was
close the shutters on the New York
Life Insurance company's doors.
Knowing that and believing it in 1896,
l consented to a payment Of $4,000
to the Mckinley campaign fund to de-
feat free ~silver-not to defeat the DEM
ocratic party, but to defeat this free
silver heresy, and l thank God that L
did IT,, There was some applause in
the room at that.
