NO Concessions Made.

A movement was started early to-
day looking to the division of some of
the southern delegates, giving one-half
a vote each, to the opposing factions.
This suggestion came from members
Of the committee who have not been
keen in their support of the Taft can
didacy 1t was prefaced by the con-
cession by Senator Crane that the
nomination of Secretary Taft on the
first ballot is practically assured, ana,
therefore, in the settlement of the re-
naming contests an effort should be
made to recognize the negro voter as
a question of party eXpediency." The
out-and-out Taft members cOmbatted
this idea on the ground that all of the
Taft delegations from the south are
mixed" the membership being about
evenly divided between the whites and
the negroes. They construed the move
ment as an effort to break down their
organization. and some members went
so far as to say that it was an attempt
to get INSTRUMENTATION men named
on the resolutions committee. The
plan was not openly presented to the
committee.

Georgia Contests.

Another amusing situation was ere
ated by the Georgia contests. The
state case involving the delegates-at-
large was called and ii developed that
the faction opposing Secretary Taft
had not put in an appearance. The
Taft big four from Georgia was
then ordered seated. In the Fifth dis
trict it was a case Of Blodgett against
Blodgett, two brothers being on the
opposing delegations. Thomas Blod-
gett of Atlanta was against the NOM
ination of Taft, and E. f. Blodgett,
the postmaster at Atlanta, was for the
secretary Of war. The former charged
his brother with being a subservient
federal officehOlder. The committee
decided i'm favor of E. F. Blodgett.
In the Eighth and Eleventh districts
also the Taft delegates were victO-
rious. The Eleventh went by default,
the opposition TO the Taft delegates
failing to put in an appearance. An
adjournment was then taken until Mon
day morning.

Encounter AVerted.

The alteration between representa-
tives of rival factions in the Florida
contest threatened for a time to be the
most serious incident of the day. II
occurred while Mr.. Stripping was ad-
dressing the committee. He was de-
nOuncing as machine politics" the
methods which he declared had been
employed by J. y. Coombs, the nation
al committeeman, and Mr.. Chubb, the
state chairman. He said that when he
was appointed United States district
attorney in Florida a few years ago
he went to Chubb, who was one of the
administrations referees on federal
patronage, and told him that he did
not want his endorsement He said
that he told Chubb that he would re-
pudiate such an endorsement at the
department of justice in Washington
if il was made. Mr.. Chubb was i'm the
room when this statement was made
and he promptly denied it, Facing
Mr.. STRIPPING, he said:
That is an absolute falsehooG"
II reaffirm on my honor as a man
that what 1 said is true" replied Mr..
Stripping.
Both men were standing. They
glared at each other and simulta-
neOusly began to advance. Chairman
News gavel was digging dents into
the table and his voice could be heard
above the confusion, declaring both
gentlemen are out of order" In the
meantime friends of both men had in
terposed and the trouble was over.
The Coombs-Chubb delegates-at-
large and the delegates of the same
faction from the Second congressional
district were ordered seated.

promised to show them.

PAPER BUTTERFLIES.

TOR this pretty trick you require
some oblong pieces of tissue
paper about 3x2 inches folded In

quet of flowers and then cause them to

than he really possesses. But there is

inches in length. which hangs from the
top buttonhole upon the lefthand side
of your coat. the other about seven
inches long attached by the middle to

small portions of wax should adhere.
In lieu of hair thin raw silk may be
used which shall be invisible to the

tH1ifb the Needle and Thread.

The most essential thing in making a
shirtwaist is a good pattern, and the
best patterns are cut for perfect models.
Realizing that not one person in twenty
has a perfect form, it will be necessary
to eliminate ssome. features of the gar
ment or supply something. First cut
out the fronts of the waist by placing
the material end to end, or fold over
material sufficient for two lengths. Pin
the pattern carefully, cut and make all
notches. Leave paper patterns on the
material until all pieces are cut out.
Cut the sleeves next, and then the
back. Tho small piecese are used for
bands, collars and the like. Never sew
a tight seam without first basting the
garment together. If the waist, when
put together, is too long on the Shout
ders or too high. begin pinning the
seam from the neck to the edge. Often
one shoulder is higher than the other

waist as a guide for a waist line. Pin
the waist down the front, or back If 1t

Observation-Disclosures


We housewives who are tempted to
believe ourselves robliged by circnm-
stances to hustle and worry from
morning till night, should give heed to
that good old Latin motto-Festina
Lente-which means, Hasten slowly.
One of the great secrets of success in
housekeeping is to insist hat ones
head shall save not only heels and
hands, but pockets also.
Let US earn something-no matter
how small a ~thing-every day. Learn
and remember.
And, just for today, let US learn this
one little thing about dried currants.
Currants look. very nice. Their soft,
crinkly skins. with a suspicion Of
bloom upon them. make them an at
tractive fruit; but If we only judge
them from the outside. we shall never
hold them at their true worth. Inside
hat softly crinkled skin is a little ball
of purest nutriment, composed mainly
of g~rape-sugar. the most valuable food
known to a
And what isn't grape-sugar within
the tiny ball is something else very
healthful and appeti2ing. If We put a
rame to hat something else we must
talk about the tartaric acid of the cur
rant, which modifes the sweetness of
the fruit, and, not only so, but ~cleanses
and enriches the blood of those who eat
currants.
Quite a budget of information, you
see, about the homely little dried cur
rant! And now we have learnt the
reason why this food is so good. we
shall surely remember that, by a regu-
lar use of currants in our daily cook
cry, we are following out that good old
maxim with which we started off upon
our talk.

off and rebaste. Get the perfect shape
first, then take all pieces apart and ap-
ply lace trimming before sewing seams.
If one is sure a pattern will fit, the
lace can be firmly stitched on after the
pieces, are cut. If the armhole is too
large, trim only on the under side, TAX
ing out a crescent about one-eighth of
an inch, or larger If necessary. If a
one-seam sleeve is made, when stitch
ed in the armhol the seam Is placed
one and one-half inches from the
underarm seam of the waist toward the
front. If plaid material is used, cut the
fronts singly to make both sides alike,
especially if the plaid Is noticeable. No
waist but a very sheer lace or net has
a lining.
Although white Is always the most
popular material for dresses for young
children. an innovation this season is
color. Bingham dresses for children
from 2 to Is years are used to a great
this season. For the little ones,
these are seen In plaids, stripes, checks
and plain effects, made in the Russian
blouse, long waist and side-pleated and
box-pleated skirt style.

will give me just ten minutes, I will
endeavor to find that large remainder
of money which we have every reason
to think Is hidden away in this house"
The constable with a shudder with
drew toward the door.
THE atmosphere here Is sitting"
said he. 81 must hav a breath of
outdoor air."
But he was not destined to py such
immediate relief. AS he moved down
the hall the form of a man darkened
the doorway and he heard an anxious
voice exclaim:
"Ah, Mr.. Fenton, Is that you? I have
beer looking for you everywhere"
1t was Sweetwater, the young man
who had previously shown SO much
anxiety to be of service to the coroner.
Shall 1 tell you what I make out Of
it?" said the lad, rising hurriedly from
the floor, which he had as hurriedly
examined. This old man has tried to
AXE his life with the dagger already
wet with the blood of Agatha Webb.
But his arm was too feeble. The point
only pierced the vest, wiping off a
little blood in it's passage. Then the
weapon fell from his hand and struck
the floor, as you will see by the fresh
lent In the old board 1 am standing
on. Have you anything to say against
that?"
How do you know that it was sui
eide that John attempted? asked some
one. "Why might not the dagger have
fallen from James's hand in an effort
to kill his brother?"
Because the LEM in the floor would
have been to the right of the chair In
stead of to the left" he returned. Be
sides, James's hand would not have
failed so utterly, since he had strength
to pick up the weapon afterward n
lay 1t where you found it,"
True, we found 1t lying on the
table" observed Abel, scratching his
head in forced admiration of his old
schoolmate.
"A easy, very easy" Sweetwater re-
marked, seeing the wonder In every
eye. MATTERS like those are for a
child's reading, but what Is difficult
and what I find 1t hard to come by. is
how the 500 bill got into the old mans
hand. He found it here. but how"
Found it here? How do you know
that?"
Gentlemen, that is a point I will

vance warily. Did any of you gentle
men. when you came into this room,

perfume?"
"Perfume?" echoed Abel, with a
glance about the musty apartment.

Sweetwater shook his head with a
discouraged air, but suddenly bright
ened. and, stepping quickly across the
floor, paused at one of the windows-it
was that one in which the shade had
been drawn down.

The central figure of our exclusive
fashion illustration today shows a
novel bathing costume carried out in
black mohair cloth or glace silk. The
long tunic is trimmed most effectively
with several rows of black braid, while
the bodice is finished with a white col
lar adorned with black braiding and
embroideries. The sleeves are made In
a particularly pretty shape. and the
whole dress will be found exceedingly
becoming. A black glace silk cap to
match is finished on either side with a
full rosette of the same silk. The shoes
are also black. so that the costume is
carefully arranged en- suite.
