arranged as to give vest effect. In
the illustration nut brown taffeta is
trimmed with bands of the material
embroidered in shades Of brown with
touches of gold, but various combi-
nations might be suggested. The
shaped bands can be either of the
same or contrasting material, and
either embroidered or trimmed in
any way that may be liked.
The jacket is made with fronts
and back, all of which are tucked
and stitched with belding silk. The
trimming bands are shaped and are
arranged over the jacket on indi-
Gated lines, leaving the narrow
space at the front that suggests the
vest. The sleeves are the pretty
ones that extend just below the ell
bows and are tucked at their lower
edges, where they are completed by
bands that match those upon the
jacket.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is four and a
quarter yards twenty-one, three and
half yards twenty-seven or two
yards forty-four inches wide, with
seven and three-quarter yards of mar
row braid and two and a half yards
of lace for frills.

Lawn Sprinkler.

The advent of 7pring turns the
thoughts of the amateur gardner to
the rake and the hoe end other gar
den accessories. A recent invention
in the latter class is lawn sprinkler,
designed along practical lines. Most
lawn sprinklers eject solid stream
that often damages the delicate
plants; this sprinkler by unique
arrangement, breaks the stream as it
leaves the nozzle into fine spray.
The frame is tubular standard open
at both ends and supported on or
namental legs. At the top is a cap
shaped into a nozzle, the hose being
attached to the end of the standard,
the stream finding its way out
through the nozzle. AS the water
leaves the nozzle it strikes disc,
supported by arms to the cap. On
one side of the disc are a number of
paddles, the force of the water
against the paddles turning the cisc.
Connecting with the disc is beveled

grooves in the disc corresponding to
the bevels on the ring. AS the disc
is turned by the stream it travels

Trimmings For Sailor Hats.

A chic way of trimming a sailor
hat is to use both the cachepeigne
of ribbon loops and the rosette. Take
"a little sailor shape, for instance, of
pale blue chip. Use for it's trimming
a delicate gray wing; fasten the wing
to the right side of the crown with
two fiat rosettes of white maline,
edged with a narrow little pleating
of silver ribbon. The wing should
be caught between the rosettes. Now,
to give the hat the character it
needs, add beauty touch of many
loops of black velvet ribbon at the
back. Another smart combination of
color to use in hat of this sort is
to have the hat itself cream color,
the wing white and the rosette white,
edged with a little pleating of gold
ribbon. Then instead of using black
velvet ribbon for the cachepeigne
have the velvet loops in golden
brown. Grace Margaret Gould, in
the Woman's Home Companion.

An announcement that Iwill meet
with general satisfaction with De-
corahians is that Mr.. Ebert Hubbard
the versatile writer and lecturer of
national reputation has been engaged
for his famous lecture on IAN Age of
Common Sense" to be delivered at
the Grand opera house on the evening
of Wednesday, April 25th, for the
benefit of the DEBORAH Public Library.
Combining the opportunity of hearing
such noted writer and lecturer as
Mr.. Hubbard and contributing to such
worthy enterprise as the public
library, we trust that our people will
pack the house. The lecture of Mr.
Hubbard is as unique as his writings.
1t will be a treat which many people
go miles to hear 1t is an exceptional
privilege to hear him, and we have
no doubt that the fact that he has been
secured at large expense will be appre-
ciated by our people to the extent that
the library association will be amply
repaid for the venture

A meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Norwegian Lutheran
Synod was held in the city last week,
to discuss matters pertaining to the
interests of Luther College, etc.
Among other things it was decided to
extend the preparatory course for one
year, making the length of the course
for the preparatory department four
years. A new professor will also be
engaged to take some of the work
occasioned by the lengthening of the
course in this department The mis-
sions of the Synod was also matter
of discussion at the meeting.
For some time President Preus and
Others have been working on pro-
posed new dormitory for the college.
Pres. Preus has had the raising of the
necessary funds in charge, and has
been spending some time this year
visiting different parts of the country,
soliciting subscriptions for this pur-
pose. He has met with2splendid sue
cess, and hopes soon to have enough
raised to guarantee the erection OF the
building. The faciltiessfor the room
ing of the students at the college have
not been ample for some years. and
the steadily increasing attendance
makes new quarters necessary. Every
one in DEBORAH will Sof course lend
their assistance to this project, for it
means an advancement for Luther
College, and all will hopedthat the
new structure may be erected within
a short time.

On Saturday one of our valued sub

which pushed the figures on his sub

record in this Office. He also secured
several thousand votes for one of the
young ladies i'll the piano contest, and
she happened to win the gold prize
of $500. Thus he made two families
happy. Evidently he had some faith
that the ''three months to live' edict
for this newspaper became obsolete
many years ago, and that it's future is
assured.

like philanthropic spirit stepping up
