Wider skirts In Vogue.

Skirts all show tendency TO widen,
this effect being obtained either by
panels OF narrow plaits running 10 the
waist IN front or back or in godet folds
set In at intervals around the bottom.
In one model these folds, which are
formed OF pointed piece Of material
with bias edges, are repeated at the
bottom OF the long redingote. each fold
being braided In heavy soutache IN a
wide conventional pattern.

held their wives take a fancy to the
gowns with the many hundred buttons
they fed In dismay.
This style of gown is said to have
met with success in Paris. If it be-
comes popular in this country it will
serve to relegate Colonel Hooker to
the background, for even with the
most nimble fingers and with the aid
of a button hook it takes over an hour
to button the dress.
The buttons begin at the neck and
wander up and down, finally ending
with a flourish at the end of the train.
The particular gown with 500 buttons
was made of Salome silk.

ncE tuc Ill
when the mercury stood at
zero and the wind was howl
ing around the street corners, it is
more than probable that the outcome
would have been different.
But the news of her inheritance
reached her early in the spring, when
the buds were swelling on the trees
and the corner groceryman was selling
radishes not as big as the end of your
thumb for cents a bunch-five in Il
bunch. 1t was the radishes that final
ly decided Cicely. She had read of
women who had made fabulous sums
out of just such radishes, together
eggs and young broilers. Cicely was
filed with strong desire to go and
do likewise.
She resigned from the ki' '-artcn
where she taught, and she inuured her
dearest friend, Madge Carton, who
worked in downtown office to do
likewise. Madge had been born on n
farm. SO naturally she would be a
n.ost desirable partner in the chicken
raising and truck gardening industry
On the journey Cicely was dreamy
and pensive. Occasionally she wept a
little. She had never liked her aunt,
and she had fancied her dislike re-
turned with interest. Now she suf-
fered the pangs of remorse.
When after two days and nights of
travel they reached the farm she wept
again, tears of good, honest rage.
81 always knew Aunt Harriet dis
liked me-" she walled, "but didn't
suppose she hated me like this"
The outlook was certainly discourag-
ing. The farm was for the most part
rocks, the kind that go deep down un-
der the surface and multiply as they
20. The house was no bigger than 1t
should be to shelter two people and no
better than it had to be to keep from
tumbling down over their heads.
Madge undoubtedly would have wept,
too, had she not recognized the neces-
sity for at least one of them keeping
up good, stiff front.
When Cicely's angry sobs had sub
sided into pathetic gulps they started
on tour Of investigation. Flowers or
shrubbery there were none and but
one tree, forlorn and stunted maple
with a few sickly green leaves strug-
Cling out on its bare branches. Half Il
dozen bedraggled fowls were scratch
ing about its roots. and detected
mule was biting at its lower branches
He was thin and hungry looking, but
in him Madge saw possibilities.
"He's our only hope" she said.
"Well fatten him up and sell him.
Perhaps he'll bring enough to get us
back home.".
Cicely shifted dolefully, and they
went back to the house. At the back
door they found man waiting for
them. He said his name was Victor
Ellwood and that he lived on the farm
next theirs. He was a young fellow
tall and broad shouldered. His hands
were the hands of one who tolls. and
his face was tanned by sun and wind
But his eyes were humorous and kind
ly, and his smile warmed you through
and through. His arms We're full OF
suggestive brown paper packages.
'Some groceries the last people left
here" he explained. 81 took them
home with me for-er-safe keeping.
He was drawing somewhat upon his
imagination, but the two girls, lonely

Madge. who was first to venture cut
of doors. Don't you notice 1t, CicelyT
But Cicely, divining what had hap
pened, thrust her friend aside and
sped on ahead. Madge found her
staring down into a ragged hole from
which there oozed up something that
decidedly was not water.
Cicely turned and threw herself into
the other girls arms.
"Oh, Madger' she cried Historically.
"Oh, Madge, we've struck lie! The
only hope has saved us!'
It'll make you a mint of money"
said Mr.. Ellwood glumly.
You don't seem at all glad" said
Madge, who always went straight to
the heart of things.

Iowa Regiment For

to Reveal His Identity to the
Public at the Pres.
ent Time.

The Oskaloosa Herald tells of the
nag fund. provided by veteran of
the Thirty-third Iowa, as follows:
Every school house in Mahaska
Keokuk and Marion counties is to
have the national flag floating above
1t during school hours. An enduring
monument has been raised to the pat
riotism of the Thirty-third Iowa in
fantry. who served their country in the
civil war.

every rural school in Mahaska, Marion
and Keokuk counties as long as rural
schools shall exist This memorial is
made possible through the generosity
of member of the Thirty-third Iowa
regiment. He will purchase the flags,
which shall first be raised over every
rural school in the counties mentioned
and has provided a trust fund, the in
come from which shall provide the
means to purchase such flags as may
be needed from time to time as the
first flags may become worn or new
schools established.
The sum of $4,000 has been pro-
vided and paid into the hands of trus-
tees to be used as specified in carry
Ing out the provisions of the trust.
The donor desires that his name is
not to appear or be mentioned with
fulfillment of the trust He would
have only the perpetual memorial to
the regiment as whole.
Perpetual Gift.
The trust is unusual and most note
worthy, as its provisions make it per-
petual through the administration of
the courts. The donor of this mag
nificent memorial stipulates that he
desires that the flag of the United
States be displayed upon all rural
houses in Mahaska, Keokuk and Mar
ion counties, from which the Thirty
third Iowa regiment was recruited,
raised and organized as a perpetual
memorial of the regiment. The fund

thus created is to be known as "The
Thirty-third Iowa infantry flag fund"
The money is to be loaned upon good
farm security or other safe investment
at the direction of a board of trus-
tees and their successors, to be ap-
pointed from time to time by the
courts. The sum of $4,000 has been
paid over to the trustees for the car
rying out of the provisions of the
trust. The sum of $1,000 is first set
aside for the purchase of the first
flags and the amount remaining. &c.,
500, is to provide an income for the
purchase Of additional flags that may

The trust is to be administered by
board of three trustees under the
direction and control of the district
court of Mahaska county or by any
other court in this district may here
after have jurisdiction in such mat
tiers.
The Hon. John F. Lacey, o. F.
Schee and Mrs. Harriet M. Cruzen are
named and appointed as the first
board of trustees. The articles of the
trust amply provide for the perpetuity
of the trusteeship by making provision
for the appointment of successors. The
trustees are to act without compensa-
ton.
It is the purpose OF the trust fund to
first supply flags for rural schools,
but in case of consolidation or other
decrease in the number of rural build
ings, SO that the income or the fund
shall exceed the amount necessary to
supplying flags to schools of the cities
for the rural schools, then the trus-
tees may apply the surplus toward
supplying flags to schools of the cities
and towns of the three counties men
toned.
