A petition is being circulated and
very generally signed in this county
asking the Wisconsin legislature TO
repeal at this winters session a law
enacted at the last session relating to
the registration of births, deaths,
marriages, accidents, etc. with the
state registrar of vital statistics, at
Madison, instead of with the register
of deeds in the various counties, as
had heretofore been done. 1t was ex-
pected that this law would prove
very beneficial. but it appears that in
it's actual working out the counties
get the worst of it. Many errors oc-
cur in the reports. which would be
detected and recruited by the local
officials, who are familiar with
names, localities and other parti-
culars pertaining to the report. The
information contained in the statistical
reports is very frequently needed by
administrators and attorneys in con
nection with court cases and estate
matters in the several counties, and
instead of being able to go to the
court house and get such information
from the records they are compelled
to send to Madison and pay fee
therefor, in addition TO the delay
they are put to in the matter. Many
other objections to the law are

The New Silks All of Soft, CIinging
Texture-Innumera Shadings
and GradatiOns Of CoiOr-Separ.
ate Coats of Silk and Satin-A
Revival of Darned Net.
BY MONS. GENE DE PONTIAC.

BY MONS. GENE DE PONTIAC.
It is a far cry from the days when
the silk that would stand alone"
was the ideal, and to-day astiff. rust
ling fabric seems to be non-existnt.
Present-day modes demand the cling
ing. supple weaves that fall In soft
folds and almost drape themselves.
The variety is apparently inexhaust-
ible-chiffon wolfe, chiffon satin and
marQuisette, crepe meteore, liberty
chiffon-these are only very few
OF the lovely shining fabrics.
Other silks may come and 60, but
foulard Is always with us. This
season it Is well to the fore-chev-
ron-patterned, coin-spotted. with
striking Oriental borders or in
small inconspicuous figures. In the
ubiquitous pongee, the stencil effect
is the newest thing, and the rough
japanese weaves are the favorites.
4 beautiful new material Is silk
cashmere; with all the desirable
qualities of the wooden fabric and
with the lustre Of silk, it Grapes de-
lightfully. After many years Of
oblivion, surah Is here again, and
soft, pretty weave 1t is, as we'll as
an exceedingly serviceable one. One
very smart little costume in which it
figured consisted of gown of white
surah with small black dots. made
jumper-wise, with pleated skirt. lace
yoke and touches of old pink about
the waist, and black satin, braided,
cut-away coat, lined with the white
and-black surah.

with such art that they seem to be
painted, with the added depth and
softness Of velvet.
Darned net is the revival Of an
old fashion and In Brussels or filet
n rather effective. White waists
may be darned either in white or IN
some tint to match a particular cos
tune. or the net itself may be col
ored, the darning being done in con-
trasting shades-blue darned in dull
Oriental tones, biscuit darned in
dull green-there are combinations
available for every possible cos.
tune.

The satiny surfaces of the new
weaves lend themselves to wonder
full nuances OF color, and an aston
ishing number of novel shades has
been produced. The array of
names Is fairly bewildering-Nat-
tier, Copenhagen and kings blue, a
reddish pink called horse-chestnut
blossom. a myrtle green shading to-
ward yellow and a malachite shad-
ing toward blue. The very newest
shade In Paris Is a pale lily-leaf
green, showing beautiful silvery
lights. Green is, very popular in all
tones, as are the reddish coppers and
golden pinks. Egyptian sand" Is
q new shade in pongee-with an al
most undiscernible CLINT of blue In It.
Separate coats are being made Of
satin, taffeta or pongee, cut-away in
front. with loose sleeves-or entire
ly sleeveless-and trimmed with
soutache braiding, buttons or cord
ornaments. The Louis shapes are
In favor, adorned with brocaded,
embroidered and lowered waist
coasts and paste buttons. The de-
signers are using crepe with deep
border for elaborate draped wraps,
and embroidered crepe makes beau
tiful little coats. A Partisan touch
for coats of heavy white lace Is q
lining OF black mousseline de sole,
throwing out the pattern Of the lace
most effectively. New and exceed
ingly smart Is the coat of chiffon or

open design worked in steel. silver or

her vinol, and the effect was marvel

Last Thursday the Good Cheer
sewing circle met at the pleasant
home of Mrs, Laura Chickering to
aid her in sewing carpet rags and the
day will long be remembered by those
who were present, for there Is no cir
Gle quite like the Good Cheer for fun
and hard work, and then, too. they
were entertained by songs and an
original poem, which tells very clearly
just what our circle Is:
What does it mean, Aunt Martha,
dear?
This sewing circle that's called
Good Cheer?
Does it mean that they sit in a circle
and talk
And criticize the way other people
walk?
And how they dress and how they go,
And just how often each girl has a
beau?
Is that what they do? Ipray you tell,
For if that is the case, think it as
we'll
To take book and sit down at home,
AS to sit in a circle and around to
roam.
oh no, little girl. that is not the way;
They get togetheran spend the day
Sewing for someone that needs the
work,
And their busy fingers do not shirk,
But hustle and hustle as fast as they
can,
To make good cheer for our fellow
man,
And they talk as fast as their tongues
can 60,
But they talk but the best things
each other know
And never find fault with other folks,
But praise what they do and laugh
at their jokes.
And once in a while there are other
things done;
A paper is read or a song Is sung,
And sometimes, too, you will hear a
prayer,
For Christians think it is good to
be there
And TO lift the burden from someone's
heart,
And make it lighter by bearing a
part,
And helping the mother lightens the
care
And makes good cheer more often
there.
And happy home lifts much of the
load
From off mans shoulders In life's
stormy road.
So we formed circle to do what we
can
To bring good cheer to our fellow
man. e. G. l..

Harry Lyle's Jan l5 All invited.
