G GPARATE motifs for embroidery
- and stenciling usually are present
ed in running designs, in small or
large squares or in single flowers that
necessarily vary in shape, but tend
toward general roundness as a whole.
Now there are articles for the house
beautiful that demand an upright or
tall, slender motif, such as are shown
in these illustrations. They belong to
all who care to trace or transfer them
and to the more experienced, who can
enlarge them They will be found ap-
plicable to lampshade panels, to such
small articles as the fancy-work bag,
and sash curtain and table runner and
to many small crash hangings for the
library and the boudoir. Also 1t will
be possible to use these on various
beaten brass articles and as pyrogra-
phic outlines for wood. leather or vel

Latest Kansas Events.


A mandamus action brought in the
district court by the city of Coffey
vile against the county clerk, has
raised question of great interest to
cities of the first class under the com
mission rule in Kansas. The Coffey-
vile officials presented a levy of 1855
mills for general running expenses
and the county clerk declined to put
the levy on the tax rolls, holding that
the law held cities of Kansas to a
levy of 21a mills A mandamus action
to compel him to place the levy on
the rolls was brought and this Judge
F1aRnelly now has under considera-
ton. The contention of Coffeyville is
that the levy limit was abrogated, so
far as cities of the first class oper-
ating under the commission plan, are
concerned, but local lawyers are in
clined to think this contention has no
foundation, and that it was not the
intention of the lawmakers to turn a
set of commissioners loose with IN
restricted taxing power.

For a Bride-EIect.

So many of my letters are from just
the dearest girls In the world who
count themselves among the bread
winners; and every once and while
some one of them is married, and
all they can in way of showers and
wedding gifts When such an occa-
sion comes 1 have many queries as to
how and what should be done Now
this is the way ten girls in an office
did when one of their number was to
marry young doctor with very little
money but splendid fellow for all
that. They called a meeting and de-
cided that at the most three dollars
apiece was all they could spare for
both wedding gift and a shower, so it
plan. They invited the bride-to-be to
spend a Saturday afternoon with them
at the home of one of the girls and,
when the tea was served, they pre-
sented the honored guest with a half
dozen teaspoons, a half dozen forks
and half dozen pearl-handled knives
and told her this was her wedding
present from the ten. They selected
stock pattern, so that at any time
more silver could be added, and they
left the marking to be done as the
bride wished. l think this was a most
sensible and satisfactory thing all
around and the combination of funds
made a fine showing, much more prac-
teal than if each girl had tried to put
her three dollars into a separate gift.
