Clever Victory Over O'Brien
Has Boosted His Stock

Stanley Ketchel's splendid showing
in his recent bout with Jack O'Brien
has given the Michigan lions stock
boost, and the fans who were laugh
ing a few weeks ago at the idea OF pit
ting KeteheI against Jack Johnson are
now taking Ketchel seriously. The
sports of New York have praised
KetcheI for his clean cut victory over
O'Brien. and it is more than pOssible
that KetcheI viii be given a chance at
the colored champion. Ketchers won
derful punch makes him a dangerous
opponent for any man.
Promoter Jim CoffrOth yesterday re-
ceived telegram from Willis Britt.
who is managing KetcheI and he says
the New York sports have gone dafry
over his man. He says that when he
approached the idea OF matching
keuchel with Johnson two weeks ago
he was laughed at on all sides until II
became joke No one figured the mid
die weight champion to have chance
against the colOred bruiSer. but now
the sentiment is changed in New York.
Britt declares, since ketchel beat
O'Brien.
Coffroth is warming up to the match
and Ketchel and Johnson will be one
of the pugiisttc plums that he will try
to land when he goes east in few

ring.

last night. 1T is clearly shown in the
pictures that Johnson has no punch
whatever. He hit the white man In

him away. Ketchel would be tearing
away at a fellow who could not hurt
him, and il he landed on Johnson

there is great likelihood that the popu-

With PARTY Attire

All the little novelties which go to
finish the dainty toilet of a little maid
are interesting to loving mothers and
friends. The very newest idea is to
embroider hair ribbon. The ordinary
flve-inch ribbon is used in taffeta or
satin, as the case may be, and a de-
sign is made at the mitered end, while
the buttonhole stitch keeps the edge
from raveling. The idea is pretty, par
ticularly when a sash is also made to
match the hair ribbon. OF course, one
would not embroider an ordinary hair
ribbon intended for school wear, but
for party attire 1t is just little touch,
for little maidens may not wear the
ornaments and trimmings appropriate
for older sisters. The embroidery is
done in flo and Persian fioss-the for
mer used to carry out the design, the
latter to work the buttonhole stitch.

UTILITY BOX FOR BATHROOM.
New Fad That Provides a Receptacle
of Real Value.

Welcome addition to bathroom 1T
tings is the utility box Of white en-
amel about the size of a shirt-waist
receptacle. 1t is intended to hold
towels and half the surface at the top
OF the box is divided into compart-
ments much like the tray of an ordi-
nary trunk, except that it is stationary.
These spaces are for holding clean
wash rags and different kinds of soap.
In addition to its legitimate use 1t
is a convenient seat to use when put
ting on or taking of shoes and stock
ings.
The price is eight dollars.
Stockings in bright tartan effects,
such as the Stewart, seem to be loud,
but really they are charming when
worn with shoes that harmonic or
contrast.
A less striking but equally effective
combination is the plaid of the black
watch in hose, worn with dark-green
suede shoes closing with smoke-pearl
buttons.
The vamps of the shoes are in mar
row raised stripes, like corduroy, the
uppers Of plain smooth suede. Plaids
in wood brown and cream are lovely
when the shoes are of tan suede.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and flneness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness. which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality Of the goods. This trou
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because of fits great

turning on of extra heat and the shut
ting out OF all air, dubbed dangerous
drafts.
To-day pure air in unlimited guam
titles and exercises of all sorts are
prescribed. Hence in planning the
family wardrobe, whether for the sick
or the well, the new methods of pre-
venting or attacking disease must be
considered.
How to keep the body warm and the
bedroom filed with pure air is one
household problem which can be
solved largely in the sewing room.
1t is generally agreed that with warm
sleeping attire and warm feet, all un-
der ample covering, the cold room will
work good instead of harm to the
sleeper.
This means a winter farewell to
muslin, nainsook and dimity night
gowns, with low necks and elbow
sleeves. A famous specialist in bron-
chial and lung troubles says that the
low-necked short-sleeved nightdress
worn in cold weather is a common
cause Of colds which if not fatal are
deep-seated and difficult to cure. The
| proper nightdress for cold weather is
| the simplest model made in wash
| flannel, pretty model for which is
| shown.
Barring few tucks on the shoulder
for the full figure, this gown is plain
back and front, factor in laundering
all fannels. It also fits snugly around
the throat and has long sleeves fitted
into narrow cuff.
In the model, silk-and-wool cloth
was used with german val lace for
trimming, but equally satisfactory re-
suits can be secured by employing a
good grade of wash flannel at about
IL cents a yard, with trimming OF
! torchon lace. Do not use hamburg EN-
broidery on wash flannel. It does not
wash as well as the heavy torchou
| laces. II you do your own laundry
work, and are sure that your night
dresses will not be frozen in the
process of drying, use fine striped
designs in blue and white, and pinl
and white. But if your clothing is al
the more or less tender mercy of ar
outside laundress, pin your faith OF
gray and white, which will not fade
under freezing. There are also some
pretty designs in tan color and white.
Another fashion in hygienic living /.
exercise outdoors, no matter what the
weather, and this means warmer out
door raiment than the smart tailored
suit and in fabrics which will with
stand rain and snow.
For this use, skirt clearing tn.
ground by at least four inches and &
stout storm coat are essential. Cray
enetted or rain-proof cloths can BIZ

This is what may be termed the age
OF defensive therapeutics. The up-to-

trating their efforts on the prevention,

We are so accustomed to connecting
the word fashion with mere raiment
that it comes with something of a
shock to learn that there are also
fashions in health and sanitation.
