CHECKED NOTE PAPER
IN VARIOUS COLORS

Among young girls who like letter
and notepaper that is good taste yet
not the monotonous plain white, blue.
or gray that custom DEGREES, there is
a fancy to use plaid or checked paper
IN self-tOnes.
That sounds loud, but it really IS not.
SeIf-coIors only are used as two shades
of gray or a soft blur Of white added.
Sometimes this cOiOTiug is arranged in
stripes, but the piaids are more popular
There IS a blue plaidlng that Is 50
indistinct that &c looks almost Ike the
markings OF plain gtnghaW, nothing
half so pronounced as small shepherd $
plaid.
These papers are almost Invariably
marked ia self-COlOrs, or occasionally on
1he grays. slIVerinE letter IS used. Block
initials are faYorites.
a new idea is 10 set these plain let
tiers ia a narrow oblong block
This IS put directly in the middle OF
the paper about an inch from the TOP.

Something NeGD in Work Bags
Promised During Coming Season

A dainty little working just the size
to carry when out for an afternoon
with a friend is built on new lines.
Three OF the small sized, oval en-
broidery rings are used for the founda-
ton, the two at the top being a size
smaller than that used for the bottom
The largest ring has overcast to it a
piece OF oval cardboard covered first
with cotton batting and the silk OF the
bag. This Is sewed in so that the ring
which is wrapped with ribbon comes up
on the inside Of the silk bag.
An easter way would be TO make, the
bottom OF the cardboard only, shaping
il by the top rings. but making II a
trifie larger. The bag part, which is
made from a wide lowered ribbon with
a plain satin border, can then be over
cast to il and give sufficient-firmness
The length of ribbon is sewed TO the
oval
An eight-inch ribbon is a good width

Housewarming

Mrs. John HIT is a very nice idea
TO give a hOuseWarming TO your hus-

il very informal, and throw open the
house from the cellar to the garnet.
Appropriate souvenirs would be snap
shots Of the house on post cards with a
quotation, date, and name of place, if
fl has one These can also be used IoI
place cards at the supper. Serve cot

made his twenty-hfth stage production IN
America since the beginning OF the pres

actors and actresses for a period OF from
thirty 10 forty weeks. But in all the
twenty-five productions there has been
but one absolute failure. Diana OF Dob
sons" a play that stiil enjoys great popu-
larity in London. The weekly salary list
incurred by these twenty-five productions
has amounted 10 over $4,000. The cost OF
producing these twenty-five pieces has
averaged from $4,000 10 $4,000 each. and
except in the case Of the failure noted.
each production long ago paid for Itself.
These ventures. made single-handed this
season by Charles FrOhman, have ranged

John d. Rockefeller jr.. has a new
theory about the trusts and the tariff.
He Justifies their methods by saying:
The American Beauty rose can be pro-
duced in its splendOr and fragrance only
by sacrificing the early buds which
grow up around It" Mr.. Rockefeller ap-
piled that view 10 the trust question and
finds in It ample excuse for the survival
Of the fittest" as exemplified by the
Standard Oil
Ii Is interesting to note that with the
sole exception OF q few men Ike Have
meyer, Carnegie. and Schwab. the trust
magnates declare that except In so far as
protection IS the basis OF prosperity. II
has nothing whatever TO do with the for
nation OF trusts They admit that under
prosperous conditions competition be-
comes so fierce that producers combine to
raise prices TO a living level, knowing
that the tariff duties viii permit them
70 do so Many OF the trust officials
have now come 20 the point where they
declare that they can stand without any
protection whatever. but in the next
breath they declare that the smaller pro-
ducers cannot, unaided, compete with
the foreigner Some one has answered
this by remarking that II the small pro-
dUcer can compete with the trust. and
the trust can compete with the fore ign
er, en- principle that things equal TO the
same thing are equal 70 each otter. the
small producer could compete with the
foreign producer.

The controversy over the trusts selling
