state institutions are trying 20 push
through the legislature an amendment to
a bill by Kefer Of Nuckolls to increase
the levy for general fund purposes from

up here tonight when the lobbyists learned

down the extravagant appropriations of the
house or that Governor Sheldon would ap-
ply the knife. Should the scheme carry II

eral fund purposes, because for the last
year the state board levied only ~ mills
instead of the maximum of 8. This will
increase the amount of taxes to be pad

timated receipts of the biennium will not

WILL EARRINGS
Be WORN AGAIN 4?

That is the question that those who
follow IL fashions closely have been
asking themselves ever since certain
leaders, carrying out the latest fash
ion for jewelry that bangles, took
1t into their pretty heads to revive
tho old fashioned styles Of earrings.
Though the fashion has just been
launched, we may expect to find ev-
cry woman to whom they are becom-
Ing wearing jeweled rings In her
ears.
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth was the
first woman of prominence to wear
earrings. She resurrected q pair of
charming old-style pendants, and her
appearance, rings and all, at Wash
ington social affair, was the signal
for general delving in jewel boxes.
At the next social party Mrs. Long
worth was not alone in her glory.
All ears are not shaped for the
wearing of rings, as many a woman
has discovered to her sorrow. If,
however, the lobe of the ear clings
close to the face ornaments can be
worn satisfactorily and the woman
who is the proud possessor Of such
an ear is always happy when rings
come into fashion and regretful when
they depart from favor, for to her
face the ornaments add a distinct
charm.
Not every owner of handsome old
earrings has pierced ears to match:
and non-pierced ears offer a difficulty
In the wearing of the revived ear or
nament. They may, however, be built
on the principle of the easily attach
ed stud with drop added to the
stud. This will save the ears from
mutilation.
In choosing earrings the one i'm
portant thing to remember is not to
follow the dictates of fancy, but to
adhere strictly to the rule of beauty,
In general way 1t is easy to fell
which style of drop will prove he
coming, but the only way to be ab-
solutely sure is to try them on and
Judge for yourself. If drops do NOT
suit you eschew them, and If Won
must devote yourself to this form of
adornment cling to the simp,a stud
KIND. OF course, 1t is a great act of
self-den1al to appear In stud aar-
rings when all the smart women are
beginning to have drops danpline
from their shell pink lobes, but It
never pays to sacrifice beauty to fads.
Pearls are foremost among the
gems lked for ear ornamentatfon.
Each earring has two of these nre-
cious stones perfectly matched and
round. A few women, however. who
have been wearing pearl stud ear
rings are having diamond drons
added, and the effect is highly salts
factory. Those who own coral ear
rings have the same choice of stones
In metamorphosing their arnaments
into the more fashionable kind. but
the general preference is for ear
rings of all one kind of stone.

USES FOR
Paper NAPKINS

Paper napkins are now far more
durable in quality and beautiful of
design than they were a few seasons
ago, when first manufactured as a
substitute, in case of an emergency,
for the linen napkin.
Paper napkins make very attrac-
tive dresser and table covers. They
should be made of four thicknesses,
three of the plain white, and the
noWered or figured design for the
top. The squares are stitched to-
gether on the machine, using an en-
ira long stitch in order not to tear
the paper.
The number of napkins REQUIRED
will depend upon the length OF the
dresser or The size of the table. The
same finish may be given to each by
cutting the ends of the dresser scarf
and the four sides of the table cover
to the depth 1f three inches, to simu-
late fringe.
The variety of folding waste-paper
baskets so familiar to all housewives,
made of sections of cardboard and
joined by means of 1acing up the
sides with ribbons, may be covered
with four of these pretty napkins in
design to suit the furnishings of
the room, lining the basket first with
a plain color
Candle and lamp shades may also
be fashioned from the adaptable pa.
per napkin. Glove and handkerchief
cases are made similarly, with two
paper napkins. cardboard and per.
fumed wadding.
