Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1905-03-02

A recent trip across the CONT
nent was rendered interesting by
the presence on the train of party
of seven insane people, who were
being taken to Boone. Six of the
number were women and of course
there was much talking on divers
subjects. One Of them repeated
page after page OF the greatest
classics verbatim; yet she has
neither home nor living to any
ones knowledge. A hospital for
the insane is doubtless the saddest
place on earth. Death would be in
finitely preferable to the condition
of many of these people. Iowa has
four asylums and the inmates num-
Der more than three thousand four
hundred, an average of thirty-f
for every county in the state.

FOR OUTDOOR WEAR.

r~.uire styles Remain, with ModiA.
cations to Meet Present Needs.
It is agreeable to record the fact that
there is such a wide diversity in the
STYLE of women's garments this season.
There is Of course large contingent
Of women who like to hold on to that
which is good and suitable for them
solves and another which seizes upon
ANYTHING that seems new and novel re-
CARELESS Of any consideration beyond
the caprice of the moment. These lat
ter are the women who buy the SO
called novelty goods term which
means anything that looks snowy and
Is new. They are also the women
who repent afterward when shortly
the gloss Of the newness has worn of
and the cheapness is visible half a
block away.
These ladies like the novelty Of the
present Louis XIV. coats, gowns and
hats. do not affirm that these are not
pretty and suitable for many, but If for
all I do protest. We see still with
many gowns coat sleeves with the up
turned cuffs and dainty embroidered
vests and the pretty jabot. These are
not calculated for common wear, and
there is where the trouble lies. The
wearers do not appear to know how to
distinguish between the times when
one should or should not appear in the
dressy and rather snowy garments
known under the two Louis titles. The
costumes Of both reigns differ so little
that not half the women who wear
them could tell in what the difference
lies. These gowns are certainly dainty
and pleasing, but they have their. linn
itations.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1905-12-16
Wraps Are Empire Also.

Many Of the most fetching wraps are
made in distinct empire styles and they
make an appearance altogether beyond
the small amount of work put upon
them. They are loose and can be slip
ped on SO easily that that fact is an
other point In their favor.
In the illustration is shown such a
wrap, made of black satin, thick and
rich. 1t is lined with rather thin silk and
the lower portion is shirred to a yoke
over quite thick cords. The sleeves are
shirred at the arm size and thus set
outside the seam. The sleeves are not
too long and are also shirred. with 4
little lace at the edges of the shirring.
A thick ruff Of lace finishes the gar
ment. Variations can be made by US
ing different materials and by The leav-
ing off of the shirring and employing
heavy lace instead, laid on fiat. The
carrying Of stick is a fad that will
Lave its votaries, but not every one
will care for one. The close umbrellas.
which have abnormally long handles,
may take It's place.

shape, with skirts and vest and all
like the inner dress, but with long in
stead OF short sleeves, though the cuffs
are still deeper and more ornate and
side pocket lapels are added. These,
too, are embroidered.
The preferred order in materials for
the outdoor suits is broadcloth, velu-
tina in the seasons colors, chiffon
velours and silk and heavy satin.
There are some suits made of sicilienne
and fine mohair, but they do not give
the right sense Of fitness to the behold
er. Take a velutina suit in the soft
drab, with cuffs and vest Of rich satin,
embroidered with delicate colors to
contrast artistically with the color in
the suit, and you have something SUI
perb and not too costly.

NEWSPAPERS IN SCOTLAND.

-
1t Il Sometimes a Very Difficult Mat
ter to- Buy One.
The American custom of glancing
over the morning paper as you sip your
coffee at breakfast goes with you
abroad, but it is no simple thing al
ways to get morning paper. On COM
ing down to breakfast the first morning
in Edinburgh. found there was no
paper to be had, but, thinking it was
simple matter to buy Scotsman on
the street, l went out on Princes street
and walked three blocks without the
sight of newsboy. where can l get
the morning Scotsman" l said to a
policeman. He thought for moment.
''Weel," said he, there's great news
shop ABBOTT three blocks up, and ye
might find one there" l followed the
direction and found myself in a large
news distributing depot. There were
stacks and stacks of newspapers ana
magazines all about II would like the
mornings Scotsman" said. The man
in charge looked bewildered. iii see,
he said, IF we have one" He fumbled
around a little while, and then went
back into the rear of the store for fully
three minutes. At last he came back,
saying, 1--WE haven't one" "Well," l
said, this is about the strangest thing
l have seen. Can't get the morning pa

Don't they want people to read them

We to understand" he said, that the
Scotsman is not published for the
general publeek; it's published for the
subscribers"
The Scotsman. you know, probably
ranks next to the London Times.
'Well," said, this is all new to me.
In my country publishers want to have
their newspapers read. They want to
sell all they can. They don't try to
keep them out of the hands of the gen
eral publeek.' Can you tell me where
1 can get one, for l want to see the
morning paper, though perhaps l shall
have to get letter of introduction to

there's a woman about hundred
yards from here that takes the Scots

the direction carefully, found the wo-
man who took the Scotsman-she kept
a thread and needle store-I bought her

for friends who shared in the outings.
Collections Of cards, etchings, photo
gravures and engrevings, pen and ink
drawings, pressed seaweeds, will all
welcome covering designed for their
own particular use, and this covering
will not only protect and preserve the
treasures, but will make decided hit
with the enthusiastic collector who re-
ceives it at Christmas time.
Taking this illustration for a guide,
q very pretty and artistic portfolio may
be fashioned. Cut from stiff white
cardboard two pieces, the same size as
the mounted photographs. Letter first
in pencil-and over this use ink or
paint-some name or title. The first
two bars Of SHOULD Aud Acquaint-
ance Be Forgot thrown back (by using

will suggest other combinations for
outside designs If pressed flowers are
to be inclosed in your PORTFOLIO, fasten
q maidenhair fern or spreading leaves
to the cover, or If seaweeds are press
ed on the inside cards attach one
to the outside, with an appropriate
quotation lettered in one corner. Or
fasten an unmounted photograph to
your top card.
A decoration possible to the owner
Of a camera is done by pinning on
large board several Of the photographs
you intend to cover and photographing
them In a small group. The print is
pasted on the portfolio, and no expla
nations are needed to tell what is in
SIDE
A clever use of the Sits through
which the ribbons are passed for tying
the covers together will give consider
able variety to your portfolios. Exper-
iment with these before you destroy
your best cards, and you will find out
some different devices for yourself.
Instead of using ribbons you will like
silk braids or gilt or silver braids or
cords for variety. BY selecting tying
strings, cardboard and lettering ink in
different shades of one color harmo-
NOUS looking portfolio will be the re-
suit. If you wish the letters on the COW
er thrown into relief, cut them out of
paper, glue them on firmly and gild
or paint them.
The second sketch shows portfolio
made Of japanese tea mating. The in
side is lined with green velvet, and
pockets are added, and the whole Is
bound with green ribbon, with strings
for tying around sewed to the back.
This makes a serviceable and dainty
portfolio for choice cabinet photo
graphs.
Unless you have tried it you cannot
imagine what pretty and inexpensive
picture frames for Christmas can be
made of wall paper. Select paper Of
a small design or Of plain color and
cover the panels, which have been cut
from heavy cardboard. turning the
| edges over and gluing In place. Place
the front panels in row close togeth-
er, face down, and lay piece Of rib
bon at the top and bottom to form
hinges. The backs are then glued to
these, except the lower edge, which Is
left open to slip the photograph in.
Place a board over this with heavy
weight until dry. Some very effective
frames for large photographs are made
of Powered designs and are quite as
pretty as hand painted ones If fine,
carefully selected paper is used. Some

The center is used as a workbasket
where scissors and cotton and thimbles
are to be found, while each little bag
holds its kind of work entirely sepa-
rate and out Of general disorder.
They are pretty in almost every ma
terial but the newest are Of scrim.
Other new bags come Of cretonnes in
small designs cut into four oblongs
and the seams Joined on the outside
and bound with tape. A pocket is put
on each side, with flap that buttons
down fat, and the whole bag is sewed
on square base. Tapes instead of rib
bons to match the binding tapes are
used for drawing strings.
Shoe bags, just plain bags about
foot long, are made Of cretonne in the
plainest Of bag fashions and drawn
up with tapes. A set of half a dozen
is pretty, inexpensive gift and are
a luxury to girl who travels a good
deal and who knows the bother of
wrapping her shoes up in paper.
Corset bags are great protection to
that best pair of corsets. They are
long, slim affairs, just big enough to
snugly cover up the corsets when
they're rolled from each side toward
the tapes. Six inches wide, sixteen
inches long, is the best length to
make them. Some are Of thin main
sock simply made up over pink lawn
and with narrow casing made by two
rows Of brier stitching with embroid-
cry cotton. Dotted swiss over a color
Is equally pretty, while the most elab-
crate are of white satin, painted with
roses in delicate colOrs, or of brocad-
ed silks. But the simple ones are the
prettiest Of all and little more in
keeping with the piles of snowy under
clothes, delicate lingerie or sturdier
things that share a drawer with it.
Renaissance has been called in for
everything from table covers to hats,
but the newest, prettiest idea is to
make fans Of it. The creamy braids
and the white ones are equally pretty,
and designs with great butterflies
spreading their wings seem particular
ly appropriate to the frivolous toy that
Is meant to futter as gracefully as
they. Lovers of renaissance work will
welcome this new departure, and the
E1rl with dilapidated fan, but pair
Of lovely fan sticks-mother-o of pearl or
ivory-will achieve rare gift if she
makes the lace and mounts it on the
discarded sticks.
Umbrella handles are greatly in
vogue as presents, and some Of the
newest are exquisite works of art in
crystal, jade and enamel. with circlets
of tiny rubies and diamonds cutting
the center of the ball. The charming
idea of inclosing the miniature or q
photograph Of the beloved one" in the
fat circular case forming the top of
the umbrella stick or cane is truly Pa
risian. This is certainly a graceful
fashion, especially as a present for a
f1ance.

Az to Their Construction.

One of the most effective ways Of
wearing these garments suitably is to
have the material of silk, satin or fine
soft broadcloth, the vest Of white or
very light silk or satin, with delicate
colors embroidered on the front .anG
on the deep upturned cuffs. The col
lar is high and embroidered like the
vest, while the full cravat or jabot OF
lace adds the finishing touch. Some Of
the sleeves have deep ruf1es Of lace or
silk null or chiffon, while others have
the sleeves short to the elbow, with a
deep cuff made of several narrow ruff
fles Of lace, chiffon or thin silk In very
light colors at the elbow. Where the
forearm is not too plump deep cuf
of Irish lace is added, and over this Is
drawn the long glove when the wearer
is going out. These elbow gloves be-
come a necessity with the Louis cos
tunes.
