Iowa City, Iowa, Nov. 27.-The Of
fetal score of the Iowa-Coe game, 2 to
o.; it is believed here, will not be pro-
tested by Manager Catlin, Coach Chal-
mers, and Captain Allen. The posi-
BILE protest has been under discussion,
on the grounds that the safety was
awarded Ames at time when the ball,
after the Blocking Of Kent s kick, had
not crossed the goal line, but had leaped
the fence at the side of the field, a
few feet in front Of the goal. Hence, it
was contended, the ball ought to have
been brought back, dead, and play re-
sumed. r. ~
The athletic authorities at Iowa,
however, believe in accepting without
complaint the official rulings, and are
really glad that touchdown was not
awarded Ames, as result Of the mix
up behind the Iowa goal. "A large num-

''The Prairie Flower or the tinkling Amman polka is the acme of musical perfection.
 Even villages and small towns now boast clubs, where not alone are the classics of Bach. Beethoven or Mendels- sohn loved, appreciated and credltahly rendered, and Wagner is a demigod, but where the Neo- Russian school the weird scandinavian melodies of Grieg or Sind ing or the ncomprehensibilities of Cesar Fransk and Strauss are closely followed and enjoyed.
 One of the chief drawbacks to the real progress of women's musical clubs. es- pecially in small towns. is their lack of opportunity to hear the best music. The members work and work we'll but by and by they get into a rut for want of outside inspiration. They need to be spurred up by the thought of what other clubs are doing. They want, to be put in the way of hearing the great artists of the day.
 Fortunately. this needful spur can now be provided Federation meets this long felt want, and federation in a wholly helpful form among the musical women of America and Canada now exists.
 When. during the Chicago World s Fair. Mrs Theodore Thomas sent out invitations to all women's amateur mu- sical clubs to send representative to a convention in Recital Hall of the Music Hall Building she launched d movement which was far-reaching in its effect.

 As for tables, their variety is infinite single and double, big and little. One table, at least, is indispensable to every porch, and where room is not limited nothing adds the same charm to porch as a number of them scattered in odd corners and filled with bowls of garden flowers.
 For those families who are fond of oc- casional informal meals on the porch, there is a reed table, either square or round, under which four straight chairs fit, enabling 1t, when not in use, to take up the least possible room.
 Another convenience for the open-air life we now have is the little wicker desk, just suitable for an odd corner of the porch. Here note may be quickly written, without the bother of going into the house.
 A beach chair, with hooded top. is often liked for use on the uncovered terraces now so frequently built
 The shapes of porch furniture are very similar, whether developed in rat tan, reed or in the tough. highly col ored flores of the prairie grass. Occa- sionaIly we see a whole porch furnished in bamboo, and again in frameworks of oak, finished in a very light green, to allow the grain to show through, the up- holstering done in grass cloth; or even in the rustic furniture, oftener associ- lawns. A particularly attractive piece in this latter style is Morris chair with wide adjustable shelves for arms, that can be dropped or raised without rising.
 Rugs for porch use must be light weight, so they can be easily rolled up and taken in at night. As rule, the cotton flores prove very satisfactory.

With the woodwork painted a rich dark greer, or red-the cane is left in its natural color-these porch furnishings, combined with a mating or thread and thrum rug or two, a low reed table for books and flowers and gay colored ham mock. make as cozy porch at little cost as one would wish to see.
 By the way. should one of the couch swings. now so popular. be too expen- sive an addition to this porch. why not try a homemade one? A babys wooden subsequently, the old-fashioned slat kind, where all the sides are alike-with the legs and one side cut off and the mattress covered with denim or gay ere tonne, is just the thing to suspend from the roof with strong ropes or chains. The woodwork may be either left its natural color or painted to match the rest of the furniture.
 Where the cost of porch furnishing need not be considered. the most luxuri- ous couches and chairs, tabourets and tables, writing desks and swings come in rattan, wicker or prairie grass in every imaginable form

XXTHAT is worse than a half-soiled
 w pillow? Nothing. except the
 inevitable and endless ripping
 and stitching one must do to get it ready for the laundress.
 Fortunately, cleanliness and comfort in pillow covers now go hand in hand, owing to buttons and buttonholes.
 For some time this idea of removable covers for fancy pillows has been gain ing headway. At first it was adopted by ingenious women who made up their own pillows and knew what 1t meant to unmake them for purposes of cleanli- ness; now the slips themselves,all ready to put on or off at a moments notice' can be bought in the stores.
 These slips are in every size. price and design. They are found with and without ruffles. Simple affairs of crash or gingham. or elaborate befrilled con structions of lace and null Some are made of allover white embroidery, others of intricate drawn work or eye lets and satin stitch.
 Whatever the style or cost, the under lying principle is the same-they are arranged to wash easily and often. This is made possible by an opening at one side of the slip at the back, where, under a flap, the pillow may be secure ly buttoned in.
 The cheapness of these ready-made slips is a strong argument in their fa- Vor, especially in summer, when count less pillows are found useful in ham, mock, double swing or loungtng chair.

A Square Lace Centrepiece

THE corner of a curtain pattern
 formed a quarter of an effective
 lace centrepiece. The girl who made it couldn't find what she was looking for-square centrepieces are un- usual, yet square centrepiece was what she wanted, and she set her wits to work to get it.
 Among her patterns was one for cur tains-a deep border with d prettily turned corner, and that corner proved an inspiration. She traced it off four times. joining the corners until the pret- tiest sort of square was the result. , That design has been admired and bor- rowed ard copied a dozen times, and made up in every sort of braid. For there are certain times when a square centrepiece or little table cover suits a particular purpose as nothing else does.

V 7 EARS spent in the study of
 music-then society, or matri-
 mony, stiffened fingers and un-
 used voices. was for all too. long the musical history of the average woman.
 Fortunately. such misuse of talents and wasted energy is no longer the rule Women today keep up their music after they have left school; keep it up, more over. with d systematic thoroughness that makes for progress.
 What has caused this welcome change? Has woman grown all at once independent of the distracting environ ment of the society whirl? Has she cast family responsibility to the wind2 even by that most disheartening obata- cle to musical advancement, a husband to whom Yankee Doodle pr There's a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight is true art while the Fifth Symphony or the Sonata Pathetique Is but a jum hle of unmeaning discords? Why do musical women nowadays rise superior to circumstances and improve instead of retrograde after school days are past?
 The secret of this change for the bet ter Is almost invariably the musical clubs which have sprung up in the last twenty years all over this country. They have afforded the necessary stimulus to keeping up our practice.
 Whatever Is ones opinion of club life for women, there can be no denial of the improving and helpful influence of the musical club-either for general study or for choral work. The late Theodore Thomas often asserted that no other one influence in America has been so potent and far-reachinS for good results as women's musical clubs.
 Not merely is there marked individual improvement. but the art life of every community is strengthened-often i'm mediately-when the women of town band together for systematic study of music.

 This ideal of porches big enough to furnish would be borne in mird by build CTS generally if they could but see the delightful furniture that comes for that special purpose. Since we must live out of doors, we have determined to be as comfortable as possible, and every veranda, from the rather narrow. eramped one of the modern city twin house to the great deck affair of the elaborate country home, is made more or less homelike and attractive.
 Nor is there any excuse for it being otherwise, since furniture comes to suit every pocketbook, and even in the cheaper kinds is graceful in outline and decoration, as vel as substantial.
 What would the modest home ask bet ter than front porch furnished with the inexpensive yet attractive reed fur niture, the frame made of pine or ma pie. while the seat, woven from the in- side of the cane, is smooth. soft and pliable. with no jagged edges to work havoc in light gowns!
 This furniture is rather plain in out line, 'tis true, but it has the merit of being comfortable. whether in the light
