material mother may choose, or
how beautiful may be her children,
there is little to be hoped for in the final
result if certain childish simplicity of
outline, a requisite neatness of finish and
an almost total absence of elaboration be
not adhered to throughout the wardrobe.
More than ever are these points
essential in kindergarten, dresses for little
ones. A black and white linen, adorned
with red, is peculiarly suited to the every
day occupations. The material is staple, is
becoming to all alike and will stand an In
innate association with the washtub. The
best of plain red percale has been used, in
this model, for covered buttons and side
belts. Red and white cotton braid sug.
gests long buttonholes, and strip of more
ornate cotton braid in red, black and white
supplies a front and back decoration, ex-
tending over the shoulders beside the bre-
telles. The disposition of stripes in the
little sleeve is a noticeable feature
A sailor dress of blue linen suggests
the regulation navy cut, although it is
belted and box-pleated. There can be no
more satisfying model than this from the
child's viewpoint, from the mothers and
from the teachers. The tub dress on the
small child has become, to the sensible
teacher, "a thing of beauty and JOY for
ever"
Scallops on white pique are possible
when not-too-heavy quality has been
chosen. All of the simple models cut over
a normal pattern, and requiring few seal
lops done by hand, may be made of either
linen in its heavier weights or else pique.
In these weighty qualities undue orlla-
mentation is avoided, gathers are scant and
pleats are none too close, but they are
highly satisfactory for better occasions and
sensible for school.
The pretty challis-blue with white
stripe-s delicate little frock, not laun-
derable, but quite cleanablc. Its killed
skirt fastens beneath folded girdle of
black satin, and the same material, run

the side. Sleeves and bodice are tucked
in an unusual way. The color and delicacy
!. of the frock recommend it, even although
IL is not one of the beloved tub dresses.
And now the coats. Blue broadcloth,
with beaver collar and cuffs, suggests care,
but few of the prettiest garments may be

worn carelessly. For rougher usage are
those heavier tweeds and serges. The
coat in question is for ''very BEST" and
with it ranks another, that of rose-colored
bengaline decorated with buttons and fas-
tened with frog. Collar, lapel and cuffs
are piped with bias silk, as is the belt,
which appears only at the sides. Roses to
match it in color make the black velvet hat
more childish, and the pink facing and bow
add color and elegance.
1t is not an easy matter to provide
successfully for little girls of varying age
and outline, but present-day garments reach
more nearly the ideals of the thoughtful
than ever before.

r%esentative Hanna of North Dakota,
Hanna is president of a committee
appointed to expend a fund raised by
citizens of his state for the purchase
of a statue of Mr.. Roosevelt. Some
weeks ago Mr.. Hanna wrote Colonel
Roosevelt asking him to indicate his
wishes in the matter. A reply came
to the effect that Colonel Roosevelt
disapproved of the erection of statues
of living men, that he believed that
statues had not been erected to the
memory of any man until he vas long
dead, but that if "old friends around
Medora were determined to honor"
him that he would interpose no objec-
ton. Word came that Colonel Roose-
welt, while in Christiania, Norway,
had complied with a suggestion made
by MI. Hanna that he pose for Gus
tave Vigiland, the sculptor whom his
North Dakota friends had designated
to do the work.
There will be a great time at Me-
dora when the statue of Roosevelt is
unveiled. The date of the ceremony
will not be determined until later.

his direct testimony in his trial for
murder.
DR.. Hyde's dealings with cyanide of
potassium formed the subject of the
larger part of the examination. The
physician acknowledged his purchases
of the poison. He said he used the
drug to kill insects, to clean nitrate of
silver stains from his hands and to
disinfect towels.

while he had used cyanide for several
years he could not recall any place
he ever purchased it except at Brock.

100 grains of the drug last fall.
The physician testified he learned
from a pamphlet that cyanide would
kill bugs. Government scientists, he
said, had also recommended the use of
the drug for this purpose.
Some of the cyanide, the witness

DR.. E. l.. Stewart took germs from

did not use them. DR.. Hyde said he
used so much bug powder that proved
ineffective that he finally gave up ex
perimenting with it and began the use
of cyanide.
