REALM OF THE FAIR SEX
MOURNING GOWN

The soft lusterless crepes manufactured
especially for purposes OF mourning make
delightful toilettes and the lines upon
which such costumes are built this sea

There is a bodice OF the same mate nal

OF black broadcloth. Where the bands
meet or overlap they are trimmed with
buttons Of dull silk moire. Down the mid

bound with the broadcloth, thus rsversing
the order OF things.

SOME QUESTIONS.

After his Sabbath days surcease from the
labors of the campaign, Governor Utter ought to
be sufficiently nvigorated TO answer some OF the
questions to which the people demand frank and
straightforward
They want to know, among other things, how
he can consistently claim TO be opposed to Bray
tonism when he has thrice accepted nominations
from Braytonism and has twice been elected large
ly through BEaytonisms debauchery of the cleo
torate and OF electorate and of election officers.
They want to know why for two years he has
permitted shameless trafficking in the laws of the
state to go on in the state house itself without
protest and without any action on his part toward
putting an end to such an outrage.
They want explanation of the reasons that
prompted Governor Utter TO consult the boss
whose practices he processes TO abhor and re-
probate concerning a constitutional convention
proposition before he presented it to the legsla-
ture.
They want to know how a man can be free
from the magn influences of Braytonism while
accepting Braytonisms nomination and expecting
Braytonism to reelect him.
They want to know whethre he has the courage
TO openly and manuy denounce Braytonism and
its infamies whether Braytonism has muzzled
him.
They want TO know whether he is in favor Of
Wetmore or Colt for the United States senator
ship, whether he will help Braytonism's con-
spiracy against Wetmore by maintaining silence
until the votes are counted.
These questions Governor Utter cannot
neglect TO answer without still further injuring
his already badly damaged cause Even an eleventh
hour declaration denouncng Braytonism and nam
ing the candidate for the United States senate
who has his sympathy and support may have the
effect of making his showing next November
against his successful opponent at least re-
spectacle.

AVOIDING MONOTONY
IN THE DIET.

We who dwell In large cities and have
access 10 the large city markets are quite
apt TO forget how liberal is the supply
from which we have 10 choose. Every
country and very cline contributes to our
tables and we have a hundred combina-
tions where our grandmothers had but
few. Much poultry and game may be OBJ
tained, when, strictly speaking. they are
out OF season. for nowadays cold storage
plays an important part In the preserva-
ton Of food. Again do you not remem-
ber when broilers were not always TO be
had? Since incubators have been so much
used for Matching chickens. small birds
suitable for broiling may always be found
I'm market
Just one word of advice. do remember
that monotony in diet should be avoided.
There is hardly a doubt but that one tires
less quickly of beef than Of any other
kind OF meat, nevertheless. fish OF all
kinds, mutton. lamb, poultry. and game
should often be found on the menu. Are
there any among you who exclude meat
from the daily bill of fare? Although the
vegetarian has many arguments To up
hold his theories all our most noted food
experts agree that on a mixed diet man
is able to keep in better health and do
better work both mental and physical.
Science and experience have proved these
facts Fannie Merritt Farmer In Wo-

A NEW BREED OF SHEEP.

Or. Alexander Graham Bell, the man
who inflicted upon the world the torture
OF the telephone. has for 16 years been
engaged in the more prosaic work Of pro-
mitigating a new type of sheep. His evo-
luton is based upon the selection of ewes
which. strangely enough, are almost In
variably the producers OF twin lambs, and
IL is along this line Of investigation that
the doctors efforts have been directed,
one OF the freaks this season Is a ewo
lamb bearing eight well-formed nipples.
The only inference that we draw from
the doctors success is that he is one man
in "A thousand who has eyes and can see
something. The trouble with most OF US
Is that we do not pretend TO see very

CORK SOLES.

Nothing new under the sun. IL is now
an established fact that the Romans In
classical times wore cork soles In their
shoes TO protect their feet from water.
especially I'm winter AS high heels were
not then introduced, the Roman ladies
who wished TO appear taller than they
were fashioned by nature. put plenty OF
cork under them. IL remains 10 he de-

be credited the invention OF high heels.

it's price has so advanced as 10 be almost

foundation of gold cloth or braid and
trimmed with ribbon and silver braiding.
The lace collar was bordered with a mar

ished the cuff at the elbow. The coat Is
appropriate for wear over an empire or

FALL NEST BUILDING.

We are apt to think that birds build
only in spring or In summer, because
that is their natural season and be-
cause their ancestors did so. But have

or the mildness OF the weather may have
direct influence and may actually in
vite them TO build? Here is n little incl

blue birds lowering and warbling. Look

ment one male had a straw in his bill. He
went into the hollow. tarried for while
and returned without the straw. Then
the female went In and stayed for several
minutes The birds were so much inter-
ested that l went TO within few yards
OF them before they left. In the hollow
was the foundation OF nest.
A bird called the pine siskin, which I
caught one day. and which roamed about

at once took possession. pulling and pick

also seen a pair OF waXwings gather nest
ing material when IL seemed too late In
the season even for them. Perhaps FUR
ther study OF the birds In the fine au-
tumn weather will show that they are
often led TO build useless nests. IL would
be interesting to know how far they may
sometimes carry those untimely efforts.
