lessor Simmons on this occasion, and
viii arrive here Monday evening and

The interior Of the building has been
freshened up, and even those in the

nothing could be more appropriate
than music roll Of pretty shade of
leather. These may take the form of
the simple, old-fasnioned roll, with a
handle and straps stitched on with
heavy silk thread, or the newer bag
may be made, to make the latter use
a piece of leather large enough to
hold a music book. and turn over a flap
at the top. Stitch on the straps about
the middle of the main piece and the
handle where at the top flap has been
left. Then take bit Of heavy silk Of
the same or contrasting shade and the
size Of the main part Of the bag and
embroider the initial or monogram of
the recipient. Hem the upper edge
and paste this carefully to the leath-
er, turning in the lower edges, and
stitch around twice. the inner row an
eighth of an inch inside of the first.
The music is to be slipped into this
case. The buckles which are fastened
to the edge Of the flap may be either
saddler's buckles or fancy ones. The
bag will hold the music straight, or
if no book is used 1t may be turned
up one-half.
A little thought win enable the
worker to use every scrap OF the
leather to advantage, and as leather
seems peculiarly appropriate to the
uses Of men, some Of the hardest
Christmas problems, the gifts to the
man Of the house, may thus be solved.
Stamp cases, tooth brush bags lined.
of course, with oiled silk; collar and
cuff cases, pillows, the uses to which
leather may be put. are almost un-
limited, and the results are more
pleasing than the f1insy things usually
offered men, Stencils, embroidery and
cut work may all be used acceptably.
The economical way would be to pur-
chase a whole skin and use every bit
that is left after the special gift for
which you plan has been made.

The New Tariff
1T IS AIMED AT THE WOMAN
OF ORDINARY MEANS.

THE question OF whether women shall
vote or not is receiving fresh Inn
petus on account of the new tariff.
It certainly hits women hard The
idea, according to mere man, seems to
be that only the luxuries are taxed.
But those so called '1uxuries" are ac-
tual necessities to the average woman,
and, alas. her husband makes her dress
allowance no larger even IL she Is taxed,
and SO financial ends won't meet, and
there is weeping and wailing After
that. II she is a thoughtful woman, she
decides that she would like to have a
hand in making the tariff, or at least
protecting her interests, and the seed
of discomfort is sown In this manner
But let us look at this tariff closely
and see just how hard It is on women
Take stockings. for instance. The
cheaper grades have been raised, and
this hits the woman who has least
money to spend. because the average
woman gets along very nicely without
hand embroidered silk or Isle ones. and
those that buy these could well afford
TO be taxed.
Then cotton cloth Is also increased In
price, and that means underwear, chill
dren's clothes and all the dainty things
q woman and a child must have
These are not Injuries. because there Is
nothing to take their place.
Perhaps lingerie can remain untrim-
med, however, and this promises to be
the sad reality In many cases, for all
embroideries. insertions. laces, etc, have
been raised also. even veilings being
included.
Soaps, perfumeries and other aids TO
beauty are also heavily taxed False
hair has tmercifullyD escaped so far,
but some legislator with taste for the
truly natural will get after that pretty
soon, and then what a roar there will
be!
Now, as to strict necessities. house
hold linens, sheets. pillowcases and the
ever wearing out tablecloth are away
up in price, and that spells simply trag-
edy
What are the women going to do
about It?

coLoRs AND TEMPERs.

Philadelphia Record: A French pa
per tells the story Of a married pair
whose domestic life was embittered by
quarrels without adequate occasions.
Under the advice of the family physi-
clan the husband replaced red wall
paper with blue, and perfect harmony
was established the wife's disposition
became that of an angel and the hus-
band SUDDENLY grew sweet tempered.
Although the blue-glass craze of
twenty five years ago is not entirely
forgotten, we have not the least dis
position to throw discredit upon this
| story. II a red parasol will infuriate
a naughty bull and a gentle, sad-eyed
| cow, 1t is not incredible, that it. should
have similar effect upon humans Of
both sexes. uBt we should like to know
how the French husband changed the
wall paper. Is it possible that men are
so far emancipated in Rance that they
can do thing like that? An American
husband who should attempt to change
the papering OF his house would en-
counter experiences that would termi-
nate the experiment long before the
change Of blue for red had had time
W spEO0uCC It's SAACGl upon the VIE
disposition.
II red excites the temper and blue
tranquilizes it, then the duty Of our
governments, state and national, is
perfectly clear. Red wall paper must
be abolished. The federal government
must not collect tax from corpora
lions making the exciting article; il
must not be party to the destruction
Of happy homes; it must simply and
Immediately taboo red wall paper, And
while pink paper cannot be said to be
red, yet IL is inclined toward red, and
very susceptible people might become
Infatuated by pink walls. That pink
is the favorite color with women must
not be allowed to obscure the fact that
it tends toward red.
If the ingenious French family ply
stefan will discover what colors in
cline men to apply hot and rebellious
liquors to their blood, and what hues
subject women to the merciless domi-
nation of bridge whist, we may pre-
scribe them also and change our char
acters by changing our colors.

a WHEAT FIELD STORY.

Kansas CITY Journal: Frequently
stories are told that certain class of
harvest hands who come to Kansas to
help garner the wheat crop are tough
and hard to get along with. These
fellows make life burden for the bet
ter class of workers who come into the
fields to make and save whatever
money they can.
A young fellow VINO lives in the east
end of the state recently returned from
the wheat fields having found work all
| summer OF one kind or another. IT
worked with a tough bunch" he said
to a friend in telling about it. Maybe
l just happened to fall in with bad
ones. Many of the fellows spent their
money as quickly as they got it in
booze or gambling"
This lad saved up 500 and sent it
home. This made some of those with
whom he was working sore and they
began to nag him. Finally one day he
stuck mis- fork into the ground and said
to them: This horse is hitched with
twine string, and If any of you fell
lows think you can ride him, you will
have no trouble breaking the string
Say you calling one of them by
name), you are the biggest man in the
bunch. Come right on. will cut you
down to my size and whip you. and
then take on the rest of the crowd
I'm ready for business, and the man
who doesn't come in now and cash any
chips he holds in this game mad better
keep still hereafter"
Not man took him on.
What would you have done if that
fellow had accepted your invitation ?"
was. asked Of this boy.
IT would have kept my word" was
the reply, land cut him down to my
size. had my jack-knife open in my
hip pocket"
He was not annoyed any longer.
The value of this story is encom-
passed in the simple question: Are
many Of the imported laborers into the
Kansas wheat fields a bad lot? II they
are, the matter is worthy of considera-
ton. There are good men VINO come
to the wheat fields from the outside:
men who do their work we'll; and from
their number are men who stay and
become first class citizens. But they
are not under discussion: "the bad
one" is the subject. Kansas must have
harvest hands every year-2o,0O0 or
more. It was only few months ago
that the director of the State Free
Employment bureau refused to admit
certain foreign elements into Kansas
which certain societies in several large
eastern cities wished to ship in, on the
frank ground that they were "undesir-
able" There are number OF fore
igners in Kansas today, and most OF
them are useful citizens
Now the questions comes, and it
calls for more attention year after
year: Does the harvest season and its
calls for help bring undesirables in any
considerable number into Kansas? Do
many of them stay? Is there presence
harmful? What is there to be done
about~it?
These questions may not appeal d.
rectly to the town man, but the Kan
sas farmer knows the situation. and ne
thinks about 1t. The wheat harvest
problem is the labor problem Of Kan
sas. The fact that 1t exists for only a
few weeks in each year makes 1t very
hard to deal with. But it is condi-
ton, not q theory, and people who
think on such things and advise on
such things win find it problem not
unworthy OF their study

The making OF leather gifts is one
that always finds approval, and many
are the ways to use the soft, beauti-
full and artistic material. All shades
and colors are to be found and the
prices range from 25 cents a foot to
