white. The floor was hard wood, with
several harmonious rag rugs, and the
walls were papered with m-col-

was also faint cream color.
Dotted swiss curtains hung at the
windows just to the sill, and were tied
back with white cord and tassels. The
dressing-room table and bed of white
enamel had covers of dotted swiss.
Two wicker chairs had cushions of
cretonne, and the bed had cover of
the same material.
Blankets range In choice from the
light weight summer blankets or Ital.

heavy wooden, double or single ones,

blue, or pink, with a decorative border
In white. The use of colors Is attrac-
tive In carrying out color scheme.
WOODEN blankets keep their softness
much longer when sent to the clean

but most housekeepers prefer to cut
them In two, binding the cut edges.
Where this is not done, be cure that
the folded edge is placed at the foot

free to use one or both blankets. When

Something that will interest all
mothers is the infants sanitary crib,
chair, and walker combined. The crib
Is built Of polished wood, trimmed
with aluminium, corner pieces, and
furnished with white drill body. The
canvas body is so designed that it
holds the baby securely, yet comfort
ably, and with freedom. Lying down,
sitting or standing, 1t is impossible for
the child to fall out. The crib can be
instantly changed into chair de-
signed to support the baby In every
posture without straining the body.
The canvas flap In front is used as a
table for the child to rest its toys on
The canvas body is easily changed
and can be washed as often as de-
sired, therefore insuring sanitary con-
ditons. A rubber bath-tub attachment
which is sold separately will be found

Never put deep border on low

KISSING AND ENc0RES.
Origin of These Two Customs of the
Playhouse.

Origin of These Two Customs of the
Playhouse.
Kissing in playhouses had it's origin
in Paris In 1850 on the occasion of the
presentation of Fontenelle's tragedy,
"Aspar" Prior to that time suffering
audiences were wont to yawn audibly
and fall asleep when the apathy Of the
actors and performances justified that
course. But on this occasion the indig-
nant audience, driven to desperation
by the platitudes of Aspar, voiced their
anger by Kisses, which drove the ac-
tors into temporary retirement, accord
ing to the testimony of the poet Roi,
who alludes to the incident In his
"Brevet de la Calotte." Kissing there
after became fashionable.
The first encore noted In the annals
Of the stage was accorded to Livius
Andronicus, Roman actor. He was
popular with the masses and was
called back 80 often to repeat his
speeches that he In self defense
brought boy to declaim for him while
he himself applied the gestures. While
encores became the rage in subsequent
ages, 1t is known that Andronicus' plan

Stand Patters Prevent HIS Elec-
ton to the Senate.
LEGISLATURE IS DEADLOCKED
And There ls No indication of a
Break In the Lineup of the
Opposing Factions.

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. e.-True to
their pledge to each other, forty-two
stand.pat Republicans in the state leg
islature prevented the election of Gov.
ernor A. B. Cummins to the United
States senate to fill out the unex-
pired term of the late w. B. Allison
These forty-two senators and rep
resentatives refused to cast their
votes for Governor Cummins and with
the forty-five Democrats who voted for
Porter, they outnumbered the sixty
five Republicans who voted for Cum
Minis. Not only did these forty-two
stand-patters prevent an election, but
they declared that 1t is their intention
to continue in their course, deadlock
ing the legislature If it is necessary
to keep Governor Cummins out of the
United States senate Although prom
inent party leaders came from all
parts of the state for the legislative
session, and also for the Republican
judicial convention, they failed TO
bring about any adjustment of diff
ferences. Both sides say that they
will not yield.
There is disposition among many
men of both factions to hurry up the
primary law legislation for which the
extra session was convened, and then
adjourn.
The voting on senator was conduct
ed by each branch OF the legislature
separately. The house proceeded to
the roll call on senator in the morn
ing. With the very first response,
from stand-pat Republican, it be-
came evident that the stand pat plan
to prevent an election would be car
ried out. Every stand-patter stood by
his pledge and the vote was announced
as follows
Cummins Al, Claude r. Porter
(Dem) 81, Funk 4, Perkins 1, William
Larrabee l. The stand-pat strength
of twenty-eight votes was cast for va.
ricus candidates, including Walter l..
Smith, w. p. Hepburn, G. N. Haugen
and A. F. Dawson of the Iowa delega-
ton in congress.
In the senate Governor Cummins re-
ceived 81 votes and Porter IA, while
the IA votes of the stand-patters were
scattered as in the house.

A PICTURE ROMANCE.
The Frame That Startled Deiacroix In
the Paris Salon.


the Paris Salon.
Eugene Delacroix. founder of the
French romantic school of art, was
very poor in his youth. His first pic
ture Of note was his Dante and vir-
gill;" painted when he was only twenty
years old. 1t was extremely large. con-
tanning several figures the size Of life,
and to buy the canvas and colors took
all the money Delacroix had. A frame
was out of the question. but good ma
tured carpenter gave the young artist
four strips of lath, of which Delacroix
made rude framework for his mas
terpiece, which he then sent to the
salon. But he had hardly hope that
his picture would be accepted.
On opening day Delacroix went to
the salon, but failed to find his paint
ing. He was wandering disconsolately
about, when he noticed great crowd
before picture. He drew near. 1t was
his "Dante and Virgil" But it was in
a magnificent, richly gilded frame, as
fine product OF the picture mounter's
art as could be found in Paris. Aston
ished, he sought Baron Gros, head of
the examining committee. AS soon as
young Delacroix introduced himself
Gros seized his hand and congratulated
him with true Gallo enthusiasm.
But" stammered Delacroix, how
about that splendid frame? l had no
money to frame 1t, and
MAKE your mind easy" said the
baron. "Your lath frame fell to pieces,
but the committee was determined that
such a chef-d'oeuvre as you have paint
ed should be placed on exhibition, and
we framed your Dante at our own ex-
pense Exchange.
