Making the Plat

The box-plait is made on the right
side of the front Of the waist, tapping
from right to left, as is the rule for
wOu1en's clothing. The edge of the
right front is turned under the width de
sired for the completed box-plait and a
row Of machine stitching is made one
quarter of an inch back from the fold
edge. An inch and one-half back from
this fold-edge the material is creased as
turned-under portion will come even
with this crease
The tuck is stitched one-quarter inch
from the fold-edge, and with the turned
under raw edge included in 1t, slipped
between the two surfaces of the material
that, when stitched together, form the
tuck The tuck, when stitched is pressed,
backward, toward the armhole, and
forms the second edge, that completes
the box-plait. The left front has been
cut the same as the right, and as no
box-plait is made here, it must be fin
ished in such manner that when the
waist is Tapped and closed, both sides
shall be the same width from the center
front to the armhole
Arranging the ButtonhoIes
Crease and turn under one f.ch, then
make a second crease one inch back of
the first, forming an inch-wide hem with
one inch tuTn-undef This hem is
stitched, and when the front closing is
Tapped, the front fold-edge of the hem
should be placed underneath and even
with the fold-edge of the backward turn
ing tuck, that forms the edge of the box
plat.
The buttonholes may be placed either
horizontally or vertically at the center
of the box-plait. Lap the box-plait
over the hemmed side of the left front
and run pin through the center of each
buttonhole and into the hemmed edge
underneath to mark the position of the
buttons.
The Military Closing
The duchess, or, as it is sometimes
called, the military closing, forms an
attractive finish for the front of a waist
The effect is of two forward-turning
tucks, each one inch wide, with their
fold-edges meeting at the center-front
The actual closing, with buttons and
buttonholes, is effected under these
tuCkS; hem two inches wide when I'm
ished is made on the edge of the right
front, and a hem one inch wide on the
left. 1hree-eighths of an inch allow
anCe should be made for seams and turn
unders, consequently for two-inCh-wide
hem two and thTee-eIghthS inches should
be turned under at the front edge, the
three-eighths forming the turn-under at
the edge of the hem where it is stitched.

fiwoman who likes TO occupy herself with
occasional sewing, I am giving some
Euseful suggestions for the making of
kthe newest shirt-waists.
The Latest shirt-waist
| It would seem that the designers
must sometimes reach the end of
Invention, and be unable to devise
any further variation of tuck and
splait, whereby to diversity the tailored
tShirt-waist. The more decorative gar
ment-the lingerie waist, so-called-by
reason of insettings of lace and embroid-
cry, offers fewer obstacles to originality,
but the tailored waist, demanding sim
plicity and severity OF line, can command
! no such assistance.
There is one feature available, how
ever, in the varied effects afforded by the
different methods of closing. The SIM
plest is the plain box-plait, buttoning
( through the center with moderately
large pearl buttons. The edges are
stitched, and many of this seasons mod
els show narrow, plated fril1 at each
edge, though the new detachable frills
are frequently made with buttonholes
IN the central band, through which they
may be attached to the same pearl but
tons that close the waist
"A Box-Plait Closing
The method of forming the box-piait
pat the shirt-waist closing differs from
the making of an ordinary box-plait.
1t IS necessary to dispose of the raw
hedge turned under at the front and to
make a neat inside finish, combining the
two operations in as labor-saving a
method as possible. This is one of the
I cases where ime-and-labor- saving plan
/ IS commendable; there are, unfortunate
", some others that are less desirable.
/ An adequate and neat finish on the
inner, concealed side, as we'll as on the
outer, is what constitutes good crafts
hmanship, no matter to what branch OF
/ the Arts it may be applied. There IS
| certainly no more womanly art than that
of the needle, and, though unnecessary
/ business should be avoided, slip-shOd
I methods of saving trouble are always
deplorable.

Two Dead in Wreck

men are dead and a score injured,
six dangerously as the result of a
head on collision on the Wabash
railroad n mile south of Glen
wood this morning. An extra
freight train, running south, round
ing a curve in cut ran with full
steam into a passenger train going
north. The passenger train was
crowded with passengers going to
the Old Soldiers Reunion at Glen

being aboard. The cause OF the
wreck is not fully determined The
inquest at Queen City will adjourn
to meet in Lancaster, Monday
The engine crews of both trains
jumped all escaping with their
lives except freight fireman r. A.

der the wreckage for hours and
died in great agony. The passen-

Lost Phythian Home

The effort made by our business:
men to secure the new Pythiar
home for Marshall has failed, al
the board of managers Saturday
selected Springfield, Mo-, for its
location. The site is a tract oil
land comprising iiftythree acres
three block east of the eastern
limits of Springfield. The tract
is high and rolling and fully hall
of it is covered with native forest
trees. The land cost $4,000. Spring
fields offer for che home included
a free site, extension of water, gas
mains to the home and free water
for a period of one year.
The pledge also calls for a school
the extension of the street car sys-
tenn to the home and sewerage con-
nection. 1t has been planned by
the local Pythian lodges, which
agreed to furnish a. free site, to
purchase a second tract of fifteen
acres to the south OF the home site
and open up a new residential dis
trict, selling the sixty lots in the
tract for homes to cost not less
than $4,000 at $500 a lot. The ac-
ton taken by the board of man
ayers at Kansas City will be
affirmed at the meeting of the
grand lodge in Hannibal in Octo-
Der. Work will be commenced on
the new institution early next
spring. The initial expenditure
will call for an outlay of over $780,

Some Novel Experiences

Editors, as well as others in
pubic business, have some unusu

editors is that they can't afford t
publish theirs as it usually anger!
the person affected.
At the Gretchen picnic two week
ago we met an old gentlemen whc
on being solicited to subscribe fol
the paper said, "No l can't stand
a Republican paper, because l be-
lieve that all Republicans and
Complexities are as SUI of going
to hell as a peanut is worth a pen
n.y." We asked him if he is taking
a Democratic paper and he said no.
On inquiry we were told he could
not read!
We discontinued a paper on ex-
piration this week of a man in the
southern part of the county. He
gave us a "calling down" about
seven months ago about our "meaz
ly sheet" and we found he was so
far in arrears that We could well
afford to stop his paper. A month
latter a nice appearing lady call
ed at the office and we could see
she was mad before she said a
word. She started in to run down
the paper and then to lambast us
for stopping it, and finally handed
us a. half dollar for six months and
promised to renew again if we
would take her neighbours name off
the books! She just couldn't toll
crate a paper her neighbours were
getting because she fairly despised
them! The neighbors are still with
us, and as we promise to keep
names confidential We hope no
serious offense will be taken.
About a year ago we printed an
item about a man who made him
self a nuisance by borrowing his
neighbours paper before he was
through with it and failing to re-
turn it. At least a dozen persons
took the article as personal and
quit borrowing for awhile, but sew
eral requests have come in of late
TO "touch up" this subject. We
see no harm in borrowing a paper
and returning it after an hour or SO
in good condition-but unless you
can do this, don't make yourself a
nuisance. Two cents a week is no.
thing compared to the annoyance
you may cause.

Open Road Letter

Gretchen, Aug 80.
To the Republican,
What is wrong with our roads?
Who is to be blamed for it, the
county court or our road over
seers?
The overseer says it isn't his
fauft, the judges r apt to say
the same. The road engineer is
apt to give the answer, there is
no money. Who then has the
money, or in other words, what is
done with the money?
Sixteen years ago we had neither
road engineers or commissioners
and we had then, far better roads
than now.
The state may need a road en-
gineer but when it comes down to
the county it is not able to bup-
port n to my idea. Every To-
cality knows best what it needs to
maintain its roads.
There is one thing in my opinion
that the county court should see
to at once-that no one be allowed
to throw weeds or hedge brush
along the roadside as that throws
the water out of the bitches to cut
up the centre of the road. Every
farmer ought to be compelled to
keep his roadside clean OF the CEN
ter of the road.
The county court should see to
this at once or it win be only a
short time and we will have only
bitches SO that we will have to go
horse back o II afoot.
