Contrasting Materials Employed or
the Smartest Garments.

In reference to lace medallions 1t
is far more economical to buy them
by the yard and separate them than
to buy single designs. And the trim
ming by the yard is all the more SER
viceable because of the vogue for fin.
ishing medallions of all kinds with
tiny ruffles of contrasting laces, usual
y-valenciennes or fine Spanish silk
lace. There still obtains. the fashion
of outlining the bofder designs of ap-
plique trimmings with colored, gold or
silver threads, the idea being especial
iy good when a complicated effect is
desired with simple treatment. Five
or six different colors are used, at
least one being dark enough to set off
the others, added perhaps, with a
dash of gold.
Brussels applique is in the zenith
of its popularity as a smart trimming
this season, and there is probably no
other lace that combines so well with
the Irish squares and ovals. 1t looks

we have earned a rest. We have been
taking it this week, anyhow. We
have just "lazied round" for the past
week, and have made no effort to get
either news or business. This is our
excuse for the woeful slimness of the
paper this week. We hope you will
pardon us.
But, beginning with next week, we
are going to brace up and do better
than ever. We are going out after
news and business, and we are going
to make The Wageworker more ag-
gressive than ever. We are rather
proud of having kept The Wageworkel
alive almost three years. 1t has al
ready lived much longer than the av-
erage labor paper But the editor is
not deserving of much praise. What
ever praise is due, is due to the loyal
unionists who have given it their I'M
divided support Some praise, too, is
due to the kind friends whose knock
ing" has solidified the support of the
loyal ones.
And so, good friends, begging par
don for the pewter plates of this
issue, and promising better things for
the future, we wish you all happy
and prosperous New Year.

The slender woman can wear over
her frock of plain color or all-lace a
skeleton bodice with girdle, shoulder
straps and bretelles of plaid ribbon,
the predominating color matching the
cloth in the dress, or if worn over an
all-lace dress, harmonizing with eyes
and hair of wearer.
For wear over lace, mousseline or
crepe frocks, the home dressmaker can
evolve boleros of plaid ribbon, alter
mating with bands of black velvet rib
bon, each stripe ending in point and
the sleeves being mere caps or bre-
telles, also pointed.
A stout woman can employ plaid in
the following way: Folds of cloth for
trimming cloth or plain silk dresses
can be piped with plaid silk OF ribbon,
and the collar or stock and cuffs can
also be made of the plaid. The girdle
must match the gown. The cuffs
should be deep, pointed effects, and
the stock should be abbreviated four
finland, with buckle where the knot
is made If the bodice has a pleat
down the front, it may be trimmed
with plain buttons, made by covering
moles with plaid ribbon or silk to
match cuffs and stock.

Beading Work Is Not Difficult.
Pleasing Effects May Be Obtained by
Home Dressmaker.

On the new fur coats bead en-
broidery is being applied in the form
of an upright collar, belt, cuff band S,
and sometimes strapping. The effect
is pleasing and the work is not diff
cult to do at home. A box of beads
gold, silver or colored-a fine long
needle, and transfer pattern with
some white net to take the pattern
on form the stock in trade. An cas-
ier plan is to bead some lace motifs
or insertion of lace, as then the bead
ing does not need to be so closely
done to produce a good effect When
transfer pattern is chosen it is nee
essary to thoroughly cover the ground
with the beads and closely to cut
away the net around the edges of the
design. On a lace foundation there
is no such necessity
A white ground, whether of cloth
or velvet, is useful to make the foun-
dation of a vest, revers and cuffs
covered well with beading or with
braid embroidery. The white goes
well with beading or with every color
and the tones of the beads or the en-
broidery silks or braids worked on
this foundation will be chosen to con-
trast well with the main coloring of
the gown. With brown, for instance,
crimson is available, while pink
green, blue and mauve are all success
full as brighteners up of brown
frock.
The mixture of two shades, brown
and wine color, gren and royal pur-
nle, blue and heliotrope, violet and
Sottle green, produces an effect quite

WILL YOU HELP?

The Wageworker wishes every
working man and every working wo'
man in all the wide world happy
and prosperous new year. This wish
goes out to them regardless OF wheth-
er they are unionists or not. Its best
wishes include the whole army of toll.
AS a whole, The Wageworker has
been very well satisfied with the year
that has just passed. 1t has had its
tisappointments, to be sure, but the
compensations have been many and
ample. The Wageworker has demon
strated that there is good field here
for a union labor newspaper honestly
and aggressively edited Knockers"
there have been, and not few. But
their numbers have been insigficant
compared to the loyal unionists who
have given their support to this little
newspaper. This support The Wage
worker has strived earnestly to merit.
The mistakes it has made have been
errors of udgment-nothing more.
In the year just dawning The Wage
worker wants to improve in many
ways There is plenty of room for
Improvement But it will be impossible
to make The Wageworker what it
should be, and what it can be, unless
the union men and women of the city
turn in and help. This help can be
ion al
as The Wageworker's chief mission is
to be of material help to the toilers it
believes that it has a right to expect
that aid of loyal union men and wo-
men.
How can you help?
BY assisting us in getting all the
news that is going on in the local
labor field.
Under the tn cumstances il is ply
sicaly and mentally impossible for
the editor of The Wageworker to get
around among all the unions for the
purpose of picking up news. In a
large measure he must depend upon
his friends. Every union ought to be
ttCl Wech Ill llc
OF The Wageworker-not merely to
help The Wageworker, but to help the
unions.
Why not have your union select a
correspondent and insist upon him
or her acting faithfully? Don't hold
back and say, 20, | cant write for a
paper" You do not have to write for
the paper All you need to do is to
give the editor the facts, and he will
attend to the rest.
With your loyal support and assist
ance The Wageworker can be made
powerful engine in the cause of un-
ionism. Without your help it will
just have to plug along" as best it
can. From purely selfish standpoint
you ought to help push ii along.
Now, can The Wageworker rely
upon your help during the coming
year? win you buckle in and help
make it medium through which the
members of the army of toll can ex-
change ideas and news. and bring
about a closer fellowship?
Brothers and sisters, The Wage
worker belongs to you, and it is up
to you to make il what it should be.

1.-THE SIGN OF THE CROSS"
Small Audience Witnessed Fine Production
Last Evening

AoSh
Wilson Barrett's "Sign of the
Cross" was presented at the opera
house last evening before rather
small audience
The play, religious drama, repres-
ented Rome at the time OF Nero's rule
OF terror, when Christianity was at its
beginning in that city, and when the
small bands OF the followers OF Christ
were being tortured in the amphithea-
tres, for the amusement and delight of
the cruel emperor and his debauched
subjects.
James Gordon played the part of
Marcus Superbus, the project of Rome,
who, falling in love with the.Christian
girl Mercia, miss Madge Corcoran),
saves her from the Roman soldiers,
later pleads for her and her comrades
before Nero, and finally, accepting the
new faith, goes to the arena with Mer-
cha to be killed with the other Chris
tians.
Harry Morton as Nero was the mas
ter OF an extremely hard part, and by
his appearance, his action and his
voice, of his terribly dissipated life
he presented an excellent representa-.
tive of the wicked emperor.
Miss Minnie Fielding as Ancaria,
Marcus mistress, was unusually good
in the third act when she taunts and
ieers at the Christians and especially
Mercia. The costumes we're those of
the Augustan era OF Rome and added
greatly to the effect of the play.

executed by means of a magazine pis-
