0rosgraIn Ribbon Used to Bring Out

Grosgrain ribbon Of rich quality. and

gold and jeweled slides as watch fobs.

dull Jet.
The width of these ribbon guards
varies from half an inch to an inch
and a half. the three-quarters width
being suitable for older women.
The ribbon watch guard is no long

are smart just now to hold watch or

enamel slides at intervals throughout
Its length. with hook and catch to
match. Sometimes these slides are
set In rhinestones. again in turquoise,
or semi-precious stones, occasionally
In finely chased gold.
Besides being new and fashionable,
such guard is serviceable and much

than jeweled gold chains or even the

MAYOR Is oUsTED BY WOMEN

The women Of Seattle, Wash. exer-

first time. recently ousted from Office
Mayor Hiram c. Gill and elected as
his successor George w. billing. While
the women did not accomplish this
work alone, they were in a large
measure instrumental in bringing IL

would have been different had they
not voted. Gill was elected mayor of
Seattle a year ago by a majority of
$500. Women were then denied the
right of suffrage. but in November
were clothed with that power. Almost
from the start Gills administration
came in for sharp criticism.
As soon as the woman suffrage
amendment to the constitution was
adopted last November the move

Seine illiterate fellows, th.ee

local buyer. Then they deposited
the proceeds, about $1,000, in one
of the banks. They thereupon re-
paired to the Office of a friend, a
physician, and the following en-
sued: Say. Doc, we jist putt our
'baccer money in Cushinberry' s
bank Now we want you to go
down thar with us, SOS you be able
to swar to the Teller we Civ hit 70,

that the money which they deposit
