our vote will be recorded for or against
such a man as Ike Stephenson. His
defeat is absolutely necessary for the
good Of the Republican party and pol,

primary was wholly due to the large
amount Of money he spent in getting
a certain class of voters to the polls
who could be influenced by the use Of
it. While he had plurality of the
vote it does not reflect the majority
sentiment of the party in the state of
Wisconsin.

DOTTED Wells.

Certainly there are some odd but very
pretty wells this season. One noticeable
feature of the winter wells is the velvet
dot. Dotted wells have not been seen for
years. yet the new ones are noticeable for
the scarcity of dots on one single veil, and
the immense size of the coin effect. One
veil may have a single dot, two, three or
five, and no difference how marked, the
dots are conspicuous. though placed where.
as one dealer says. they will do the least
damage. They are like beauty patches.
only much larger. One must know how
TO adjust a veil of this kind or the dot
may appear ON the mouth, one eye, tip
of the nose or point Of the chin, and 1t
gives a quaint appearance TO the wearer.
Other wells are extremely thin, rather
plain Of weave and daintily trimmed on
the edges with borders of satin. applied
or woven in the texture.
