cHILDREN's HOUSE SLIPPERS

Last winter spent some time IN a
family where there were five small cul-
dren, and as the father was recovering
from 4 severe illness, it was necessary
that the house should be kept as quiet
as possible.

so many little ones should make so lit

shod in little patent leather slippers.
They were, however, made from black
oll-cloth,' the kind that resembles table
oil-cloth, but is little heavier These
slippers were cut like those worn BY
men IN rubber boots, and were lined
with single-faced cidcrdown. which
made them very warm, and beng damp

but these are not always available,
when they are used they necessitate the
ripping apart OF the hat every time it is
laundcrcd-a fact that requires careful
consideration, for in their immaculate
freshness lies their greatest attractive
ness.
Preparing the Framework
Neither stiffening by interllning nor a
wire framework are, however, really nee
essary. In the hat usually seen the

and mark these creases for boning lines
then make other folds at equal distances

BastinG Advisable
The oollarbone can be stitched to each
OF these lines without basting, but to
avoid stitching ut the bias lines it will be
wise to baStc the entire brim TO sheet

shape. Leave ABOUT ono inch OF bone in

begin the stitching thrce-eighths Of az

Troupe Missed Connections

The Sterling Jubilee Singers, who
were billed TO fill the engagement on
the second number in the lecture course,
missed train connections at Grand Rap
ids, which should have brought them
here at 6:2S p. IN. last Friday night
They caught later train on the Grand
Trunk TO Lowell, arriving there about
7:30, and hired two livery rigs TO bring
them TO Belding, but the roads were
bad and the teams slow and they did
not pull into the city until about II
o'clock, but the audience had dispersed.
The audience was large one and was
bitterly disappointed, but all kept good
natured while patiently awaiting the
arrival of the colored artists. The COM
pany tried their best TO get here at a
cost to them of about $50. The lecture
course committee will put on another
number later IN the season to take the
place of this one.

At the age of II he learned the trade OF
a carpenter and went with his employer
TO West Superior in 1886 and assisted
i'm building the first frame house in Du-
luth, also the Masonic hall in west
Superior, and had the experience OF
going through the "wildcat panic" days
of '57-'5S. He came to Michigan the
following summer, after working MS
passage across the lake, and footed the
way from Grand Rapids to Cook S Cor

MUST BE LABELED
Liquor Shipments Can no Longer
Come i'm Plain Packages

The local express office has been re-
ceiving scores, yes, even hundreds of
packages, without any label to show
their contents. OF course the agent is
wise and knows that the real stuff is
hidden beneath the neat wrappers, but
others who happen in heexpress office
don't know. Some shipments come in
candy pals and other receptacles.
Now the federal authorities have sent
out notices that according TO the United
States statutes this practice must stop
and liquor shipments must bear the
address of the shipper and the kind
and quantity of the liquor enclosed in
the package.
