Scan Delegates Carefully.

So that apart from the voting of the
delegate ticket, which should be care
fully scanned, democrats have only to
make a choice of instances on the bal
lot. which must be indicated by
marking the cross. That choice for the
legislature is as between j. G. Britton
and John Looney, the third name being
the candidate of the democrats of Mer-
Ger and Henderson counties, while for
sheriff the voter must choose between
Cornelius Donovan and Peter Schleu-
ter.
The candidates in the absence
of preliminary caucuses made their
own selections on the delegate tickets

In blouses of more elaborate des-

Another notable feature in the mat

A curious feature of the new winter

This Is introduced in several widths,
the most intricate and tortuous designs

For empire or short wasted effects

are to be found. from a simple plain

extremely pretty frocks as advance

dresses OF the lingerie type; but 60
fairylike are fluffy garments that II
seems out of the question to class them
as tub frocks, though wash fabrics are
employed throughout. The dainty null
frocks will appeal to economical moth

daintily dressed yet who cannot afford
elaboration. A very full shirt tucked
half way up a baby bodice tucked
horizintally, the sleeves showing puffs
similarly arranged. gathered into lace
bands, and the top OF the bodice I'm
ished in Dutch square neck with the
lace, is made from very fine null, and
is quite within the skill Of the home

silk, few toilets could exceed this In
daintiness while the laundering might
be attempted at home. Washed In
suds made from warm water and
good soap. it should be rinsed in clear
water and ironed without an atom Of
starch. Deep tucks, say an inch and
half wide, will be more effective
than narrow ones.
Those that are clever needlewomen
find it quite possible to make the little
glove handkerchief at home and in one
of 1t most attractive designs. They
first cut down large handkerchief to
the right size and then roll in very
tightly the raw edges on all sides. This
little roll is finally overhanded with
heavy Toned thread Of some color and
then overhanded around again in the
opposite direction. This crossing Of
the overhanded stitches forms many
