THE REAL SEASON OF WINTER
IL NOW AT HAND.
AUTUMN Has Officially Departed and
the Shortest Day Is Be-
coming Longer.

Today marks the first day Of win
ter. The season of autumn has come
and gone In reality and Oklahoma
is now in the grasp of winter. For
three months. or until March 21,
winter Will be on tap.

between sunrise and sunset than on
any other day. The cloudy weather
actuated this fact and made the day
seem shorter than 1t really was. To-
day, however, is only few seconds
shorter.
Each day the hours Of daylight will
be a little longer until on the 2lst
OF June. the longest day of the year
will have rolled around.
Today the sun begins its long
sweep back southwark. having gone

PREMIER WANTS

CHINA'S CHANCES FOR A RE-
PUBLIC HAVE GONE
GLIMMERING.
nations SUPPORT HIM
some Results Can BE Obtained by
Proposed Plan of Limited
Monarchy.

PEKIN, Dec. 21.-Premier Yuan
Shi Kai today gave his answer to
those who are aiming to transform
China into republic. In an official
statement he declared he failed to
respect republic.
At a Shanghai peace conference
yesterday WI Ting Fang, foreign
minister In the provisional cabinet,
spoke strongly In favor of a republic,
and later Tang Shao VI said he was
convinced that abdication Of the EN-
peror and the establishment of re-
public was the only thing that would
satisfy the people. Although, at the
same time he expressed doubt wheth-
err it would be possible to persuade
Yuan Shl Kal to abandon his posi-
ton for a limited monarchy.
Some Results Obtained.
1t is believed here that Yuan Shat
Kal means what he says and will up
hold the monarchy. A new situation
has arisen. Great Britain, which
has supported the premier's mon-
archical program for several weeks,
Is now threatened by Japan and Is
endeavorlng to use the support OF
the United States and other coun-
tries. Great Britain believes the dec
laration of Independence in Manchu-
ria and Thibet and the serious dis
lntegration of China proper would re-
suit from the establishment of a re-
public. whereas the republicans have
already obtained in a material way
everything they desired. only the
name of monarchy is left.
Money Is Ready.
It Is stated that American group.
IL not the American state depart
ment, already supports the British
idea and are ready with two, IL not
three, of the others of the -four ma
tlon group" of fnanciers, to lend
Yuan shi Kai's government money.
Negotions to this end have been pro-
oeeding for some days.

The warning signal of what prom
ises to be one of the most telling
crusades against the liquor traffic
ever inaugurated In Eastern Okla
homa, was sounded In Tulsa yesterday
when a squadron of state enforce-
ment officers, assisted occasionally
by city detectives and headed by W.
A. Caudill. chief state enforcement
officer who was sent to Tulsa under
direct orders from Gov. Lee Cruce,
conducted scores of raids. both on
business establishments and private
residences, selling and destroying
over n carload Of beer and whisky,
valued at several thousand dollars.
The raids were unannounced and
even the Tulsa police knew nothing
before hand OF the plans. Several
of the raids were made on places out
side the city limits. and In these the
police were asked to assist, but act
Ing under orders from Assistant Po-
lice Chief Moran they did not do so.
Private Houses Raidcd.

made on private houses, occupied by
families. In house north of the

Colonel Roosevelt would carry Ne

THE WAY OF THE, WIND IN
THE WORLD OF FASHION
Women Returning Home From Summer Outings Are
Busiy Engaged in Looking After Their Fall and Win
ter Wardrobes, and in Collecting All Fashion
Hints That Are Being Whispered in Ad-
vance, From Emporiums That Set the
Pace in the World of Smart
Dressing.

Grace Margaret Gould makes the fol-
lowing report in the Woman's Home
Companion for October. She says:
(Which way is the wind blowing in
the world of fashion?
Well. it is blowing out bit.
Clothes are expanding just a trife,
skirts are to be fuller, waists are to
be heightened. and there Is to be a
great fiuttering of fringe. So the eX
perts read the indications in that
capital OF fashion, Paris.
"Of course, there is going TO be q
change of some sort 1t is time for
1t. The winds Of fashion are always
varible. And then, too, women indi-
vidually and collectively are looking
for and expecting something new.
They are tired of their pose; they are
tired of being a type. The style has
been long drawn out in more senses
than one.
This fashion wind Just now Is blow
ing slightly and htfully. but 1t is all
the more significant for that. When
there is to he change I'm the wealth
er, the wind begins to shift little.
Then little by little 1t veers. until at
length IT blows q gale from directly

side of the compass. never fear That
is what revulsion means and rebound
and all the other things that people
do when they seek to get rid of one

| extreme. That is human nature. you
know. togo from popularity to unpopu-
larity, from Puritanism to excess

Yes, 20 1t seems. to the time, one hun

Parable Of the FREELY

There is an editorial in the octobe.
number of The Housekeeper which
; presents We'll known and realized
truth among women in very attrac-
tive way. a fact which perhaps not all
women have noticed is told about the
freely in the following words:
This is the parable of the female
FREELY. You have seen her on summer
evenings, flashing in and out among
the bushes. lighting the darkness with
HI tiny radiance. Those that you
have seen are the younger females,
the girls of the FREELY world. For
this is the curious. the pathetic thing
about the female freely:
After she becomes a mother she
never shows her light. Having passed
on the spark of life to her children,
she resigns her own brilliance, gives
up the element in her nature that
had set her forth among her sisters.
Her children shine about her, but she
herself is lustreiess.
And being lustreless. she has her
lesson for some thousands of human
folks who share with her the rich
privilege of motherhood
The Lesson OF the Firehy.
For you. perhaps, who, made glad
by the possession of your children.
are enriching them continually at the
cost OF your own best self. You who
used to be tho most popular girl at
the party. but who have sort OF
dropped out OF things since the baby
came You whose voice or skill at
the piano Frightened your husbands
evening hours in the first days of your
marriage. You who have grown ac-
customed to see yourself a little UNI
kempt, little less than attractive,
because the babies need SO much at
tention For YOU and you and you
there is the lesson of the FREELY.
Reserve Your Light.
Because you have given life to the
little ones about you. ii is not your
part to cease to live.
The deductions which you make
from your talent and beauty and
charm in order to increase their COM
forts are gifts not wisely given.
"Your best gift to them is yourself
perfected.
This Is your mission as a mother
to be wiser than the female freely.
For the female FREELY. after she
becomes a mother. never shows her
light"

have small base and flare quickly.

them with moss. fastening 1t well,
FIJI with long stemmed pink roses
and plenty of asparagus fern. SO as
to completely conceal the outline OF

each handle. and then pile the baskets
in the centre of the table, laying fou,
down first. bases in, arranging tho
rest on top SO as to give the effect
OF large low mound of flowers and
ferns.
Adjustment of Ribbons.
The ribbons should be so turned to.

of the dinner each can lift and re
move her basket from the pile and
carry it-away as a souvenir. II this
plan is followed, and the dinner given
