personally tender their congratulations
TO President and. Mrs. Taft upon the
occasion Of the anniversary OF thell
silver wedding, the great mass o
citizens Of the mighty republic were
with them in spirit il not in the

which brought together friends Of the
president and the present lady OF the
White House from far and near and
its spirit has shed JOY ard gladncs>
among all, irrespective OF political
affiliations or crcclS. This was rs il

feels that it voices the sentiments oil

Mrs. Taft long lease OF life and thai

Such an event as that witnessed in

with only few necessary conventional

persons from this city were with our

was good for them TO have been there.

MUST FIT PROPERLY
MOST IMPORTANT POINT IN MAT
TER OF GLOVES.
Worn Too Tight, They Will Spoil the
Look of Even the Most Dainty
Hand-First Putting on
important.

Nothing makes a hand more unnat-
tractive than a glove that is too tight.
Yet how ofteEa one sees women with
their hands almost bursting from their
gloves, so tightly are they squeezed
into them.
A too tight glove will make even
slender, graceful hand look common
place and pudgy and hand inclined to
flesh almost repulsive. So in choosing
gloves one should be very careful to
get them large enough, and to have
the patience to have them properly
fitted in the first place by a good glove
filter.
If they are not fitted properly at
first the tips Of the fingers never work
down and the hand is made ridiculous
and dowdy by the pointed tips. If the
fitting is properly done the gloves will
not twist and wrinkle, and will actual
ly wear longer than if hurried care
lessly over the fingers for the first
time,
If one has to put on gloves without
the assistance of a filter the hands
powdered, then the fingers should be
insinuated into their receptacles, and
finally the thumb and the hand should
be fitted, but not until the fingers have
been carefully worked in. To remove
the glove pull 1t over the hand and
do not drag it by the finger tips, for
this spotls the shape completely. After
removing the gloves and turning them
right side again they should have the
stretchers used to restore the shape
and should be sprinkled again with
powdered French chalk.
Fresh gloves are necessary ad
junct to the toilet of the woman seek
ing daintiness, but when they are
cleaned they should be cleaned sew
eral days before they are to be worn,
SO that the fumes of gasoline, and no
odor is more Objectionable to the SEN
sitive nostril, may entirely disappear,
otherwise the whole effect of ones
personality may be marred by the dis
agreeable fumes of gasoline.

TRUE NOTE IN DECORATION
Fitness of Useful and Ornamental An
tcIes in Room Must Be First
Consideration.

The true method of making room
beautiful is to make all the necessary
and useful things in it beautiful; so
much is this true that it becomes al
most impossible to design really
beautiful room that is to have no use
full work done in it or natural life
lived in it. An architect called upon
to design room in which nothing
more earnest Is to be done than 10
gossip over afternoon teas has a sad
job.
For a room must always derive It's
dignity or meanness from, and reflect
somewhat, the character and kind or
occupation which is carried on IN IT,
For instance, the studio Of an artISt
the study Of a man of letters, Tue
workshop of a carpenter, or Ine
kitchen of a farmhouse, each in its po-
sition and degree, derives dignity
and interest from the work done III
it. And the things in the room pear
some relation to that work, ana VIII
be the furniture and surroundings nat
the carpenters shop; the easels anu
canvases in the studio; the books ana
papers in the study; and the bright
pans and crockery in the kitchen All
these lend a sense of active, uSeIul'
human life to the room, which IT,
deems it from vulgarity, though II DC
the simplest possible; and no amount
of decoration or ornamentatlon Can
give dignity or LONELINESS to ROOM
which is used as a show room, OF III
which no regular useful life is il'eu'
For in the work room all things nave
a place by reason Of their usefuIneS"'
which gives a sense of fitness anu ~
pose entirely wanting in room Wne'T
a place has obviously had to be 1ounu
for everything, as in a drawing rooH''

Small eirPs HobbIe skirt.

There is apparently considerable di-
sersity of opinion as regards the cor
rect position for the belt on the small
tie French dresses show the sash in
practically normal place, while on 9TH

hamper the tiny Wearer in her walk al
most as absurdly as does the hobble

elders. The abnormally long wasted
effect obtained by placing the belt al
most at the hem Of the frock is charm
ingly quaint on some children, but is
not becoming to every type.-Harper's
