USES FOR RIBBONS
HERE FASHION HAS DRAWN The
LINE TIGHTLY.
Each Season Demands Changes, the
Majority of Which Are Easily Ac-
compIished-CoIor Scheme A.
ways to Be Remembered.

It might seem at first thought that
the correct use of ribbon is one of the
EASIEST things in life, but each season
ushers in it's own especial use OF the
different widths, if not of particular
kinds and qualities, all Of which biocK
the wav to success through past ex-
perience.
To say that the sash is to be worn
Is not to mean necessarily the 12-inch
ribbon that meant sash a few years
ago; and to proclaim the hat with the
ribbon bow is not to tie any sort OF
little bow and believe ones SELF
walking the rope of fashion.
Fashion draws her rope tightly, ana
makes little allowance for deviations
from it's difficult way.
The ribbon as sash Is admltteo
when in it's softest form 1t hangs IN
two long slim ends, very much as II It
we're bias liberty. To accomplish this
effect the ends are tied sometimes
into knots, with end, and again into
actual bows, which weight them into
graceful fall
Ribbon may also be folded success
fully into the sash for the waist CIR
die, when, for this use, also, it is or
liberty quality.
The hat bow of the season demands
breadth of ribbon and crispness OF
quality.
Ribbon has been used successfully as
tunic edge for the marquisette and
chiffon drapery of the figured foularo
gown, and it is the color touch on
many a pretty garden party frock.
Here, if anywhere, is ribbon at its
best. The buttonholed slot provides
successful openings for the slipping IN
and out of folded wide ribbons and OF
two-inch ribbon velvets. These are
used in gayest colors on the handsome
white or ecru frock and on the bower
sprigged or embroidered null and the
dotted SWISS Black or lavender rib
bons slipped into the natural eyelet
spaces in black and white embroid-
cred robes are an unusual treatment
of the summer frock for those who
wear light mourning.
Always successful as summer neck
ties are the medium widths of soft
ribbon, whether tied in bow or
knotted into four-in-hand.
Color enters largely into the sue
cessful use of ribbon, and not alone
are the brightest tones called into
requisition in the furnishing of hat
and gown. The French are fond of a
certain deep prune ribbon on black
hats, and the combination is not far
from ravishing SO unusual is it. Black
ribbon on the dark blue hat or on the
gray hat is as successful as certain
combinations of black MORE ribbon
with burnt straw and with ecru raf11a
fabric
Changeable ribbons, last of all, be-
cause they are the newest and also
for reasons of convenience. Straws
are not easy to match and neither are
mat crials, and the two-toned ribbon
is frequently the only possible hat
trimming that will shade harmoni-
ously into both.

site should be selected for the house
where gravel will be available on the
ground for the making of the blocks.
This can be taken from the excava-
ton for the basement. If that is done
it will greatly reduce the cost. The
blocks should all be made in ad-

Linen Pincushion,

Round pincushions are just now con-
sidered very smart. They are made of
embroidered or lace-trimmed doilies
and are not in the least difficult unless
one is sufficiently ambitious to do
ones own embroidery
A small circular cushion that is not
very thick through is used and the
dolly is placed fat over this. It should
be much larger than the cushion, so
that the edge extends beyond the cush-
ion all around. The dolly is double, the
under side being plain; this under
side is open in the middle and fastened
together with buttons and buttonholes.
The cushion can thus be slipped in
and out readily when the cover is to
be laundered.

5000 years ago when it was put there.
So in selecting the materials for the
construction of a home or even of any
other structure that it is desired
should be lasting no better material
than cement can be selected.
Now, for cement construction the
design of the home shown here is per-
fectly adapted. This house may be
built of eight-inch concrete blocks for
the walls and for the porch, and the
round porch columns may be of
nodded cement. The design calls for
an elaborate basement. Here the
furnace room will be located and also
the kitchen, toilet, laundry and
coal bin. On the main floor there is
q good sized living room, dining
room and two bedrooms. The size

an adverse impression that a dozen
good houses cannot overcome. The
writer knows of many fine cement
houses that attest the value of cement
in home construction. Cement is
pliable and capable of being adapted
to nearly any design the architect
may select.
Cement houses require no repairs
whatever, and the older they get the
more nearly like stone they become.

of Rome is as strong today as it was

The design also is adapted for con-
struction of frame either with the
usual siding on the outside or with a
cement stucco finish. If cement stuc-

PEARSONS WOULD DIE POOR

D. K. Pearsons, the Chicago philanthropist.
who has given six million dollars to small col1
leges expects to give away the rest of his money
this year and to retire into a sanitarium to await
the end of very long life. DR.. Pearsons is over
ninety years old and afflicted with rheumatism.
He will sell his home and spend the balance of
his days in the sanitarium. He praises his own
wisdom in disposing of his wealth before his
death, and says he knows where it has gone and
has prevented any contest after he is gone.
April IA, his next birthday anniversary, DR.,
Pearsons plans to make his last requests to his
colleges, which will be the last of his fortune.
He will then rest content waiting for the end.

The FOUNDER OF ESPERANTO

Considerable interest manifested in the
sixth international congress of Esperanto, the
universal language, which convened in Washing
ton recently and was in session week. The
delegates numbered 500, coming from 40 nations,
and among them DR.. L. L. Zamenhof of
Warsaw, Poland, the author of the language,
whose portrait is here presented.
At some OF the meetings the only language
spoken was Esperanto and the play "As You Like
1t" was presented in that tongue.
Esperanto is said to be making considerable
progress in the United States and has been taken
up by scientists, linguists, teachers, public men
and commercial houses At its last session the

the experience OF his company in
dealing with the New York Stock
Exchange in relation to the furnish.
ing of stock certificates as a reason
for the passage Of the Toombs reso-

He made the charge that the Stock
Listing committee of the Exchange
would not list stock unless the GER
tifcates were supplied by the Ameri-
can Banknote Company He added
that the American and subsidiary
companies were owned by members
of the Stock Exchange. and that
prices charged by 1t were double the
amount which would yield an ordi-
nary profit. He read four letters,
two of which he said he sent to the
Stock Exchange and two purporting
to be replies. The Stock Exchange
in one Of the letters said that the
New York Banknote Company's work
had been found to be unsatisfactory.

New Haven, Conn, April IA
Trapped by metal doors and barred
windows six fremen who were fight
ing flames in a workshop were
caught by a back draft and burned to
death during the partial destruction
of the New Haven County Jail yester.
day Three OF their comrades were
saved through the heroism of other
firemen who were outside. The bod
les of the six men were found after
the debris cooled. Many other fire.
men were fearfully burned, but re-
manned at work.
Six of the men were fighting their
way through the cellroom OF the jail
into the workshop, when an explosion
of a gasoline tank caused the back
draft and slammed behind them the
iron doors separating the two build
ings. Three OF the men were hem
med in a corner and burned to death,
while the other three made their way
to a barred window, to which they
chung, with streams of water playing
on them from the outside. Soon af-
ter they reached the window the
roof fell in. Ladders were reared,
and the men taken out. The remain
ing dead firemen were caught by the
same back draft as they were, work
ing at the other end Of the building,
and we're carried down by the roof
when It fell.
The fire was discovered by a prls-
oner and the us men In the work
shop were sent TO their cells. When
