To Lengthen Old Sleeves.

Now that it is decreed that all sleeves
should be long, the woman whose
blouses have three-quarter sleeves Ii
going to work to lengthen them.
If the blouses are of lingerie fabrics
her work is not difficult. All she need
do is to attach long cuffs of lace or EN-.
broidery or both.
If the sleeves belong to coat or to a
wooden or flannel every day blouse, then
she has to think little.
The prettiest idea brought out is to at
tach a long tight cuff of thin cloth in q
solid color from elbow to wrist and
fasten at back with braid or satin but.

II the material Is check or plaid the
plain color is used to good advantage.
If the material is of any solid color the
cuff can be gotten in another material In

REV. FRANCIS BuRGETTE
SHORT ExToLs MR.. TAFT.

1t is striking that no one has
yet declared that Bryan Is q wise
statesman. Those who are most
anxious for his success do not
urge especial fitness, but rather
that he may at last have found
an Issue that the people will not
repudiate at the polls. To return
to power Is the main thing OF
the Democratic party, no mat
ter II it floats into office on
Bryan bubbles or on any other
conceivable pretext.
In pronounced contrast Is the
estimate that Is universally ex-
pressed on Taft's equipment for
the presidency. Irrespective Of
party, MI attest TO his mastery
OF affairs and wonderful admin
lstrative ability. The clergy are
equally outspoken. Among those
who called upon Mr.. Taft ut Gin
clnnau during the week was the
Rev. Francis Burgette Short,
pastor OF the First Methodist
Episcopal church at Salt Lake
City. Discussing politics, Mr..
Short said:
Judge Taft is eminently fitted
In character aud practice to &C.
cupy the highest Office In the
land. His efforts to raise high
standard Of life at home, his In
terest In and solicitude for M
tons across the sea. mark him
as a man OF sane visions and de-
sire. Such n man this nation
needs and requires at ITS head
