A Trimming Revival.

The ribbon lacing of decade ago
is being much revived. This is much
used on simple house gowns, tea
gowns of negligees. The buttonholes
may be cut in the material and work
ed with heavy buttonhole twist to
match or if broad ribbon is used the
openings can be bound in bias silk or
velvet. These are newer than crochet
rings covered with heavy twist or rope
silk to match the costume
A soft, pliable ribbon is used, much
wider than the buttonhole, so it falls
into folds. The ends are drawn to a
point with a gold or silver tassel or
ornament.

Braided rugs, round and oval. in
blues, whites and blacks, with a faint
weaving of rose or soft red, are to be
used in front of bedroom fireplaces
this winter. College people will de-

for them. They are made up in the
different college combinations of col.
ors, and any special insignia or year
can be woven in to order. These rugs
are not expensive.

Changes adopted are Revolutionary

thing. the time of play is divided In.
to four periods of fifteen minutes each

been entirely eliminated by new rul-
ing which providce that player must
have at least one foot on the ground
when tackling.
This years rules provide that a
player is qualified to receive a for
ward pass only when he is at least
one yard back of his own line OF scrim
mage or occupies the position OH
the end of the line. No man may
make forward pass or kick the ball
unless he Is five yards back of the line
OF scrimmage.
The territory forward OF the linc

enemy's camp, Is adjudged neutral

of a player.
In the case of a kick, the player on
the defense within the 20-yard zone

other players in any way untu their
opponents have advanced twenty
yards beyond the line of scrimmage.

The longitudinal lines formerly
marking the field are done away with
as the quarterback may now cross the

JOHN B. HANToN, the old demo
cratic war horse of Wdtertown, is out
in an open letter in which he re-
nounces allegiance to the de mocrats
and takes up the principles of the
progressive republicans. Mr.. Hanten
SHOWS in his letter, announcing his
position, that both the old parties are
split into two factions and that they
are divided on practically the same
lines. The one faction is ultra-con-
servative and reactionary, and is
working for the special privileges,
while the other is progressive and
working for the rights of the people
against the interests and combinations
of wealth. Mr.. Hanten believes that
