Things Made on Fairgrounds
Are Seen at the
Library.
THREE DIFFERENT
CLASSES OF WORK
Needlework, Basketry, and Articles
of Crochet Viewed by Parents
and Friends.

II was with great pride that ~ CT
S0o school children pointed out TO their
parents and friends the useful things
they had made during the past summer
at the municipal and public school
Fairgrounds. which were put on eXhi-
bition at the Public Library this morn
ing. That these youngsters take pleas
ure I'm something besides games and
romping is evident from the great
amount and variety Of useful articles
made by their little hands.
Two large rooms ON the second floor
OF the library building are used in dis
playing the efforts of these industrious
children The grOwnups who attended
the opening Of the exhibit were most
enthusiastic IN their praise. and many
were surprised at the skillful manner
in which the various articles we're made.
In fact. the showing made is some
what of a revelation to those who have
not been following the Fairgrounds sys-
tenn carefully.
Three Glasses.
There are three classes Of work afti-
Giles, and for many purposes, made OF
''baskctry," crocheting. sewing and en-
broideTy.
Among the things made OF 'basketry
are trays. holders, baskets, table cases,
work baskets. shopping bags, napkin
rings. pin trays picture frames. plant
stands, sofa pillows, and waste baskets
The needlework consists Of an extern
sfve variety OF doilies. napkins, handker-
chiefs, collars. table mats, and initial
towels. Many Of these articles are or
original design.
Articles made of crochet are shawls,
neckwear, pillow covers, caps, slippers
bags, and She various dainty little gar
merits worn by an infant.
Each Is Marked
The display is arranged according to
Fairgrounds. and each article bears a
card with the name Of its maker upon
H. Boys as well as girls are repre-
scented. According TO Mrs. Katherine
W. Malcolm. under whose direction the
industrial work was carried on, boys.
on the whole. do not take TO the work
quite as readily as their girl play
mates. but those who were willing TO
lay of play long enough turned out
some very creditable work.
The exhibition Of this handicraft is
an annual affair. and .the present one
will be open daily from ] o'clock in the
afternoon until ) for two weeks. No
prizes are given for the work. The chill
dren get their reward from seeing the
efforts Of their industry hung TO be ad-
Inired.
In opening the exhibition today Mrs
Malcolm spoke OF the great possibilities
of the playground work in connection
with training the fingers Of the children
to usefulness.

Cheap garments lack 'lines."
Perfect lines and exorbitant prices
are the rule. Mr.. Edward Wat
kinS, the leading authority on
dress, says in LArt de Ia Mode:
"No matter how carefully your
model and color schemes are
thought out, they will count for
nothing when the gown IS finish
ed if the lines are not correct. for
the beconingnesS and individuality
of the gown are absolutely de-
pendent upon the correctness and
quality of the lines"
The PalaiS ROYAL Suits. Dresses.

Frederick Music Co. S Sale of the
Whole Knahe Stock Offers Re-
markabIe Chances to Get a
Prize.

To that smaller portion of the
public who will not be satisfied
with anything but the best; those
who appreciate the artistic in a
pianoforte; those who really
know when they find a sample Of
the master builders art, it will be
interesting reading to learn that
in this great stock of pianoS-the
whole stock of VIM. Knahe &
Co., which has been bought by
the w. F. Frederick Music Co.,
and IS being nov sacrificed
there are many specimens of the
finest art of the piano makers
skill. Especially should he men
toned those truly beautiful little
Knahe MienOntttc GrandS, in
rich San Domingo mahogany
cases, which are the very quin-
tesSence Of perfection in piano
making. This is the very newest
sample Of Knabe piano in all its
perfection of tone and dainty pro-
portions. There are but two or
three of them left, and If is safe
10 say that right at this moment
a hundred or more persons are
planning to buy Knabe Mig
nonette GrandS in Washington.
These pianos sell at a fixed price
of $3.50 and $500 lin two kinds
of mahogany, and cannot be
bought for less anywhere in this
broad land-eXcept these two or
three samples, which are marked
down low, for the first and last
time since the model was brought
out.
Then there are several Of the
larger size, known as the Mignon
Grand Knabe, famed all over the
world for its excellence. These
also are cut in price-cut deep,

but only for these last few in
StrumentS.
For music rooms Of larger pro-
portions, the noble Knabe Parior
Grand may be bOught-the few
of them left-at prices which
never bought one of them before
in all the years the Knabe house
has made them, and which never
will buy one again, after this sale
closes.
A couple Chickering's are here
also. Chickering, the name which
stands for all that IS refined. cul-
tured, and ariStocratic in pianos.
Like the Knabe, the Chickering
always commands high price,
and is never sold at GU. price.
These couple may be had under
price-yeS, way under regular
price. These two and then-reg-
ular prices always.
Among the hundreds of pianos
we notice also a magnificent
Hardman upright grand in a rich
mahogany case of the Louis XVI
style. This piano seems to be al
most brand new. II IS one Of the
art instruments of the Hardman
factory, and sells for 5000 regu-
larly. A famous piano and
noble sample Of the make. Think
of buying such a wondrouS bar
gain for only S375. When have
you ever had a like chance?
Two FiScher-the old, relia-
Die, Sweet-toned FiScherS-but
these two are nearly new-are
marked at 500 under their sell
ing price. And that Bos Ton and
blue-blood old favorite, the
Haines Bros, is represented by a
number of fine new uprightS sell
ing for 500 and $50 below
their worth. In used pianos are
represented the Weber, the Veg
man, the Stieff, the NoSe, Mason
&, Hamlin, Kranich & Bach, and
almost every well-knOwn Ameri-
can make, priced from 500 up
ward, on easy terms without adj
vance in price.

tions change climatic conditions ma rerially, causing more uniform rain fall, the adapting of the soil to bet ter conditions of utilization than had prevailed.
 As the years go by farmers are finding that a mixed system of farm ing may be profitably introduced and the raising of sheep, horses and cat tie be more and more encouraged. Not all the land is under the plough and on that allowed to grow the wild grass of the early days may be seen punches of Ii grade cattle fatten ing for the market, horses for farm use as we'll as for transportation, and sheep by the thousands. All the way up the valley of the Big Sioux as we iourneyed from Sioux City to Sioux Falls, farmers were running their machines and gathering the hay crop [ that far exceeded ours as it was at home, and today it finds a ready sale at from $6 to $S a ton, and the nat i've grass at that, which was the buff falo grass of 50 years ago. It is no longer the wonder to me that it was in my boyhood study of long ago, how the buffalo could roam over the vast territory through the long cold winters and the deep snow, andsub- sist on the prairie grass that they un- covered with their feet. The wild Indians and the buffalo have disap- peared and with their disappearance comes the civilized Indian and the white man representing the vanguard of civilization. Schoolhouses and churches follow in the wake of pro- gress the teepee gives way to the comfortable homes where the faith full, patient mother gathers her little brood, the girls and boys from whom are to come the recruits for future needs.- E.

VIEWPOINT AUTOMOBILE CLUB
 LECTURES.
Interesting Address by Merle c.
 CoWles.

Friday evening, November 5, will witness the delivery of the fourth weekly lecture before the members of the NewtoWn Automobile Club at their rooms. The subject in question will be "Ihe Construction, action and disintegration of public roads for and under different conditions of traffic. This, as everybody is commencing to realize is subject claiming the attention of the whole country with insistent demand and can only be intelligently dealt with by one who ..as had the time, inclin- ation and facilities to study cause and effect. The Board of Governors have, therefore, invited Merle c. Cowles, formerly Commissioner of Streets, Park Commissioner and Di- rector of Public Works, of the city of Bridgeport, to address the mem- bers along practical and theoretical lines. Mir CoWles uaS always taken a most vital interest in road and street building and made his various terms of office epoch marking for the volume and quality of work accom- plished. It might also be said that MT Cowles is of very convincing personality and never says anything touching upon the subject in hand, which is not worth listening to, for the sake of something to say. Owing to the general interest of the idea under discussion it is earnestly hoped by the Board that the members will support their invitation in a most satisfactory manner.-[BOard of Governors, Newtown Automobile Club, Inc.
