WHITE HATs AND MUFFs.

The desire for white hats with elab-
crate indoor costumes is growing
stronger every week. Wide white sat
in sailors trimmed with morning glor-
les are in high fashion. These are
worn with one-piece frocks of wistaria,
violet and amethyst.
The hat OF the moment for festal oc-
casions is of white satin, with its low
round crown draped in white rabbit
skin, which is a good imitation of fox
Often muff of white fox is sold to go
with the hat. This is a charming adj
dition to an indoor gown in any of the
new tones of color.
It is quite the fashion this winter to
carry huge muffs indoors at any recep-
tion or tea. without a neckpiece to cor
respond. The latter might hide the
lines of the frock from neck to waist,
but the big muff gives a perfect touch.

GIFT THAT GIVES COMFORT.

Although there may be something
aboriginal in the idea of the blanket
as a covering. it is a fact that one of
the daintiest personal gifts which may
be given to the bride-to-be or even
the plain, ordinary person with whom
you swap Christmas gifts is the blan-
ket bathrobe. To be sure, the bath
robe spoken of is made out of a silk
blanket-one 50 soft in texture that
it would not annoy even the hypersen-
sitive princess of the fairy story These
blankets. which come in the shops at
reasonable prices, are striped variously
in pink and blue. violet and buff. blue
and white. In making into a bathrobe
the most practical model is on kimono
lines. Large armholes are cut, into
which square sleeves are inserted The
stripes must go across in order to give
a good hang to the blanket. The edges
are bound with China silk or pongee in
the shade of the stripes.

Honan was floor leader during the

his cause with credit. He is a bright.
energetic little chap, always on the

ly and intelligently. He is splendidly
equipped for the position and has the

What They VIII Stand For.
It becomes known today that the
brewers of the state have outlined
a legislative program for the session.
1t includes several features, promi-
nent among which is the repeal of the
county option and his substitution for
it of option by townships and city
wards. In recommending repeal. how
ever, the brewers are willing to offer
some reforms.
Brewers Outline Program.
For one thing they are willing to
agree not to oppose bill regulating
the number of saloons in proportion
to the population. They are willing to
suggest that there be no more than
one saloon for every 500 inhabitants.
This would greatly reduce the number
of saloons and would, it is said
preserve the good saloons and drive
out the cheap ones and the dives
where most Of the trouble springing
from drinks originates.
Willing TO reform.
The brewers are also said to be in
favor of law making jail sentence
compulsory for violation of the Nichol-
son law. The jail sentence Is now OPP
tional with the judge and is rarely i'm
posed except upon the third or fourth
offense. The big brewers of the state
insist that they are willing to reform

BUTTONS as TRIMMING.

There is no end to the use of but
tons. All kinds of quaint and novel
ways are invented to appropriately
trim gown with this kind of orna-
ment-
1t is possible that the newest and the
latest common is to use an immense
round button from two to three inches
In diameter made larger by two or
three double ruffies at the edge.
This button is made on q mold and
is of satin or velvet or of crocheted
material. At the edge are run these
ruffles IN varying widths. They are
made of ribbon or of the material,
double and cut on the bias.
There is no embroidery in the center,
as one sees on so many of the new but
tons. These are principally used on
top coats, especially those Of fur.
There are two at the bust. or, better
still, two at the waist.
