The City Plant

Some criticisms have been
made to us with reference 10 our
mention Of the lamentable situa.
ton Of the city in regard to water
and electric lighting. 1t is stat
ed that we we're not entirely fair
10 Mr.. Brewer, the ex superin-
tendent, although our statement
of the facts was made after in.
terviewing the mayor and mem-
bera Of this and the last council.
The Democrat has no wish what
ever to work a hardship on Mr..
Brewer, for whom personally We
have no feeling but goodwill.
But thepresent condition of affairs
ought not to exist; it means
something TO a city to be without
tights and water, with the plant
TO furnish it at hand. The
Democrat is considering this
phaee Of tho matter, and looking
10 the city government and its
employees for service that we are
not getting.
According to our information,
Mr.. Brewers service was not
satisfactory and he was let out.
The mayor appointed him over
the obieption of the council, and
when informed after the last
preceding council meeting that
Mr.. Brewer would be dismissed
by resolution of the council, fall
to have his successor ready TO
take charge. The Democrat
does not wish to rough house
anybody, but ifthe present state
OF affairs doesn't show lack of
competent management in the
administration Of the city, we
would like 10 know what it could
be calledP
AS for Mr.. Brewer, the Demo
orat does not say that he failed
10 do his duty at the plant, but
Ahs. he was dismissed for failure
so do it. As to the reason given
for his dismissal being based on
fact, we oan only refer Mr..
Brewer and his friends to the
Mayor and councilmen who are
onr authoritV

girl. as a man is harder to please. and
there is not nearly so much choice.
scarfpin. pipe or book seem, at
first. to be about the only things to
give. but. after all. there are a number
OF small gifts that will appeal to the
masculine mind.
Any girl that can knit or crochet has
an unfailing source of supply in ties, as
they are all the rage now. and can be
made very quickly of almost any color
imaginable.
But for the girl who finds crochet or
knitting work difficult. useful as well
as ornamental. gift can be made with
compass.
Make a good-sized circle on cardboard
and then cut around the line and cover
the circular piece with silk.
Next draw with a soft pencil two eyes,
nose and mouth, and there results
a good picture of the man in the moon.
Then attach two pieces of ribbon to
some shaving paper. For cousin who
wears glasses, cut out different animals
in channels for him to polish his glasses
on.
and will be much appreciated is made
from a plain hoople stick and some rib
bon.
Attach the ribbon At each end with
to hang over the gas jet. and the man
hangs his ties over the stick.
Money is always nice to have around
the holiday time, and it would be a good
plan for every girl to commence at once
to lay aside or 10 cents each day. and
when Christmas comes she will have
quite little pin money to spend on
gifts for all her friends and relatives.

ing the latter plain. until there are but
3 st. left.
The second point is worked like the
first, with the exception that the first
row of h. d. C. is begun at the shoulder
instead of the front.
For the body part, fasten the wool at
the end of the first row of the left stole
in other words, at the first widening
point on left shoulder; q ch., fasten at
second widening point on left shoulder.
then across the back work as follows:
Make a shell of q d. c., ch., d. c.; in

more rows in the same way, fastening
each row at beginning and end to stole

make row of shells same as in body,
finishing with row of d. C. shells

Run ribbon through, beading at neck
and second piece down fronts and
across lower edge.
For the left sleeve, begin at the front
point of left shoulder and work 8
shells across yoke and 5 shells on I'M
der-arm ch., join to beginning of row
and continue working like this first row
until the sleeve is II rows deep.
Then make a row Of s. c., narrowing
enough to make the cuff the right width;
work more s. C. rows. then a row of

through which to run ribbon, finishing
with a d. C. scallop in every other d.
C. of previous row.
Make right sleeve in the same way.
Run ribbon through beading at lower
edge of cuffs and sew on bows
The baby sack is one of the most &C.
ceptable presents mother can receive,
as it is an article of dress that Is In
almost constant use, and a great many
are needed by every child.
The crocheting of these sacks is very
pleasant occupation, and the work goes
along so quickly and the result is SO
satisfactory that it is very popular
summer out-of-door occupation.
The pale tints of blue, pink and yell
low are sometimes used.

Do this running or outlining as re-
quired in the progress Of the embroid-

After the outlining, make an incision
near the center of the oval and cut
toward each end. roll the cloth back I'M

with the over-and-over stitch. taking
care to bring the needle out exactly on
the stamped outline.
This will keep each one Of the little

the base or near the stem. If there be
one, and. holding the stamping toward
you. work from right to left-just oppo-

follows: A strip of ooze leather is lined
with silk. the silk and leather machine
stitched together. Little pockets are
turned up at each end, and into these
pockets the ends of bills are slipped.

to work so that the thread can be car
ried from one space to another without
being cut.
Make the stitches even. and draw
each one snug and tight. giving the edge
a cord-like appearance.
If desired. a lining of material OF
some contrasting color may be stitched
to the back of the finished piece. and
this will bring out the eyelets more
prominently.
A working detail is given. showing
the design developed in eyelet. with
stems in outline.
Any questions relative to the working
of this design, as well as any questions
concerning matters Of general interest
to those who embroider. will be cheer

This may be made Of heavy linen IL
white, brown or any color preferred.
The white things are SO dainty, and
may be laundered so easily without
fear of fading, that it is always q
temptation to keep things white.
The case should have at least FIVE
pockets and be made SO that 1t can
fold in envelope fashion.
A linen case with removable lin
ing is quite the thing to slip the
hand mirror in when packing the suit

One could Be made of white linen

draw strings. A monogram or old

'HE beautiful design given today
is most satisfactorily worked
Il out in eyelet embroidery.
The work is simple and fas-
cinating. and the finished effects in all
white embroidery are very attractive. as
we'll as exceedingly serviceable.
The characteristic feature of the work
is small round or oval holes made with
a stiletto or scissors. and then worked
about the edges in the over-and-over
stitch.
The work should be done with the ma
terial stretched in a small hoop; six
inch hoop is sufficiently large.
The scissors are required for Sitting
the oval places. and the stiletto for
punching the round holes.
In the case of oval holes. the first
thing to be done is to run a stitching
just inside the stamping. as otherwise
the form Is very likely to pull out of
shape or fray while being worked.
