Plans For tho Tippeoanoe Monument.


Members of the Indiana Tippecanoe
battlefield monument commission met
the other day with Governor Hanly
to discuss plans for the monument
which Is to be erected on the battle
field by the state and the United States
Jointly. The commission decided to
meet again April IA, at which time de-
signs and estimates will be received
and considered. The last legislature
appropriated $4,000 for the building
of the monument and like sum has
been appropriated by the United States
government. The legislature of 1887
provided for an annual appropriation
OF $500 to take care of the Tippecanoa
battlefield. 1t is likely that the next
legislature win be asked to increase
this appropriation in order that the
monument may be maintained prop
erly.

Hints For The Household
Tone Talks.

With regard to those who might with advantage take up the study of sing ing, let the answer come from such widely known vocalists as Jean de Reszke, sembnich, Nordica, Melha, Da- Vies and many others who, in articles which have appeared from time to time under their names in substance advise All who have good speaking voices, who know something about notes. and who have the sense of pitch and rhythm--both faculties improve con, stantly with practice can be taught to sing we'll even though they may have considered themselves voiceless." For the encouragement of beginners and young singers, let me say that while it takes years to qualify ones voice for great vocal performances, that does not by any means debar talented vocal students from the early rendition of suitable songs in an acceptable man. ner I believe thoroughly in young singers accepting opportunities to sing before friends and aceuaintances and In due time at public entertainments, for in this way they gradually gain ex= perience and confidence, which is so absolutely indispensable to successful artistic career,

IN WINTER WAISTS

This winter fashion decrees that un- less the waist is white 1t must match the skirt in color, if not in material, And this dictate holds good also of the blouse to be worn with the tailor suit.
 For this purpose there is nothing smarter than satin, as so many of the slrtet suits are satin-trimmed.
 The best shops are showing charm ing models of this material trimmed with a binding and buttonhole effects of dark satin.
 For example, deep tan satin waist is made with a tiny yoke and 1abot effect of cream lace. This yoke is surrounded by a rather narrow turn down collar of the material.
 The closing is at the left side and there are two rows of buttons down the front in double breasted effect
 Both collar and closing are bound with nut brown satin The sleeves are in the new long closely fitted style and have a row of buttons covered with nut brown satin, running from the shoulder to the waist.

MODES IN APRONS

It seems quite In keeping with the quaint old Dresden silks and cretonnes and the corkscrew curlh that fashion trumpeters proclaiming that women should take to wearing aprons But. oh, what frilly little things the most of them are, and how captivating their snowy freshness
 Chahng dish aprons will soon be a necessary part of a womans ward robe. The most popular ones are made of table damask embroidered with a sroupu uof little pink eyed bunnies
 Another new development is known as a lap apron, This consists of a per fectly square piece of soft white goods hemmed all around When finished 1t is about the size of a large silk hand kerchief At the fouur corners-or rather, In about four inches from each pont--are sewn tiny cellnloid rings, and ribbon is run through those The purpose of this apron is to hold your fancy work, and when you uget up you simply gather ID the ribbons which are run through the rings, and your work, your apron and the little bag are all in one
 For the more prosaic aprons 1t has lately been discovered that work aprons made of a light weight blue and white ticking are filling long felt-want. This goods is heavy, and for the woman who has to wash her own dinner dishes and be near sink they are invaluable. They are not easily wet, and do not soil readily on account of the twill in the goods
 Clothespln aprons are another time saver along practical lines These arc made of blue denim. They should be made to reach the knee only, and the binding should be of the same mate rial, with a slut strap to go about the waist. Then another piece of the denim Is stitched on the apron, com ing about half way up and this is stitched down the middle, forming two large pockets. The clothespins are car | rled in these pockets, thus saving q woman from running back and forth looking for the pin basket, and holding four or five pins in her mouth as she | hangs LID articles of clothing
