MAYOR IS oUSTED BY WOMEN

The women of Seattle, Wash, exer-
cising their political power for the
first time, recently ousted from office
Mayor Hiram G. Gill and elected as
his successor George w. Dilling. While
the women did not accomplish this
work alone, they were in a large
measure instrumental in bringing it
about, so much SO that the result
would have been different had they
not voted Gill was elected mayor of
Seattle a year ago by majority of
$500. Women were then denied the
right of suffrage, but in November
were clothed with that power Almost
from the start Gill's administration
came in for sharp criticism.
AS soon as the woman suffrage
amendment to the constitution was
adopted last November the move
ment to recall" Gill under a provi-
sion of the city charter and elect a
successor to serve the unexpired term
took form and the women entered
into the campaign with enthusiasm.

SILENT MAN OF THE SENATE

The silent man of the United
States senate is Winthrop Murray
Crane Of Massachusetts. Mr.. Kean,
Mr.. Penrose and Mr.. Wetmore could
not be called babblers, but they are
noisy and disorderly compared to
Crane, and their economy Of speech
becomes wasteful prodigality meas
ured by his standard Of conservation.
Crane would prefer to talk with his
hands If he could make himself under
stood that way. The Massachusetts
senator hates any kind of racket.
One could not imagine him banging a
door, wearing squeaky shoes or sum-
moning page by clapping his hands.
No sound heralds his approach as he
comes down the senate corridor. He
does not walk, he glides about. When
nor gliding he is sliding, and when
not sliding he is fitting. The only
thing disturbed when Crane comes
into the senate or goes out is the

NEW MINISTER TO PORTUGAL

Henry Sherman Boutell, who has
represented the Ninth district of Il
linois in the national congress for the
past 13 years, but who failed of re-
nomination last year, has been nom
mated by President Taft as minister
plenipotentiary to the new republic
of Portugal, at an annual salary of
$4,000. He succeeds Henry T. Gage
of Los Angeles, Cal, who recently re-
signed the mission because Of i'll
health and to look after his private
interests in southern California.
Mr.. Gage was appointed minister
to Portugal in December, 1909, and
was in charge Of the legation at Lis

Of Portugal proclaimed in May, 1910.

Many buttons for coats and other
outer garments are SO heavy that no
amount of sewing will keep them firm
ly and permanently in place Usually
they have metal loop at the back;
and in this case pin them on by means
of small but strong safety-pins, fasten-
ing the pin securely into the goods.
Be sure that it is small enough to be
out of sight after the button Is on.

The hostess who can think up 9

child's party will be we'll repaid for
the trouble taken by the interest and
fun the youngsters will extract from
it.
Novel and highly successful was the
manner of serving the goodies at a
party lately given. The children were
asked to come into the dining-room.
They found on the table a small cen
terpiece and a vase of carnations and
on one corner a large package. When
this was opened it was found to con

at in surprise but spread on the ia

to contain paper napkins A third
box on the sideboard contained deli

girl was sent out into the kitchen to

The New mStoon" Walk.

Womankind is achieving a new
walk-or rather the new walk has
been thrust upon her by the require
ments of the present coat styles. All
the fashionable evening coats are
drawn in at the bottom of the back
and slope upward loosely at the front,
This necessitates a measured, rather
mincing step which, with a slight
bend of the body forward under the
weight of the big fur collars. and be
cause of the necessity of lifting the
skirts from the pavement or steps,
produces pretty, graceful and very
feminine attitude, quite different from
the rather independent stride engen-
dered by the short skirts worn for the
past season or two.

The Shepherdess Hat

The shepherdess hat, which was
shown last autumn but failed to find
favor in the eyes of the fair, is again
appearing in more attractive guise
among the new millinery for the
south That the autumn models were
not successful was not surprising, for
they were strangely stiff and hard and
It would be impossible to imagine a
shepherdess hat in connection with
winter coats and furs No doubt
shepherdesses must continue to exist
in winter, but their picturesquenes is

herdess hats of leghorn decked with
roses seem much more rational than
the same style Of chapeau in shiny
black satin and feathers.

What is safety-pin good for be
sides pinning?" I hear some needless
creature say. What, indeed Why,
very much, as these few hints of the
possible will show.
When you have beading to thread

q large safety-pin and run it through
with this as q bodkin 1t is much
better than an ordinary bodkin, as 1t

Use the humble gafety-ptn also in
the fastening of belts on wash

heaven forbid but attach the pin to
one end Of the ribbon or lawn so that
1t forms a metal loop, so to speak, and
on the other end, inside, sew two

try running strong tape across the
top and pinning the skirt to it with
the very largest and strongest safety
pins you can get. This holds clothes
much more smoothly, by the way,
than the usual hanger, which is really
made for COATS and not for skirts at

A safety-pin as a keyring may not
appeal to some, but it does admirably

admit of the taking off of old keys
and the putting on of new-a virtue
that few keyrings possess. If your

ACCESSORIES MADE IN BLACK
That Is the Smart Shade This Year
for Girde, Collar and Various
Other Articles.

From year to year our ideas OF
dress accessories change very greatly.
At one time, not SO many years ago,
the woman who was given to little IN
genious make-shifts in dress had
number of yokes of lace or silk which
were put on or taken off as various
occasions demanded, the one founda-
ton waist being thus frequently trans
formed with the various colors and
shapes. Then there was the day OF
pretty fichus and various ties and all
the other little dainty belongings
which gave touch of newness to
gown
This season black dress accessories
are among the most fashionable, ard
the girl who Is deft with her needle
makes an adjustable set consisting OF
black satin gfrdle, sailor collar and
planted cuffs. She will also have
sash with fringe or knotted ends ana
satin side frill to match. The ad-
Unstable set is worn one day and the
sash and the side frill the next. 1t
takes a discriminating eye to discover
that milady is wearing the same gown
with different dress accessories, In
stead of two really separate garments.
These satin dress accessories are not
always used as makeshifts, but with
their pipings of Persian silk, or trim
mings of gold lace, they add toucn
of color to the garment which makes
It exceedingly stylish. Black satin en-

DEMANDS Of THE
SHOP EMPLOYEES.
The Federation System Preparing
their Ultimatum to the Railroad
Officials.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 31.-Offi-
cials OF the Federated Trades Council
admitted today that system fedora
ton of the shop employees on the
Chicago Milwaukee aud st Paul Rail
road is almost completed, and as soon
as the federation is well under way,
the shopmen will join in demanding
that the officials of the road recognize
the federation instead of the individual
unions as at present.
Chicago, Aug. 31.-What may be
the final conference before the strike
on settlement Of pending labor troubles
on the Illinois Central Railway, took
place this afternoon when representa-
tives OF the nine shop unions met with
Vice President Park and Assistant
General Manager Foley. 1t was an
nounced that President Markham might
be called into the conference at the
request of the union man.
It is said Vice President Park told
the men that the road would not reor-
ganize the Federation, nor would it
grant the demands for increased pay,
which he is said to have denounced us
exorbitant.
1t vas conceded on all sides today
that unless the railroad management
recedes from this position, it will be
difficult to avert a strike. The strike
vote already has been taken and the
matter is in the hands OF tho officers Of
the System Federation.

EXCHANGED COATS.

A strange white man, who had been
exposed most of the day to the lain,
passed up Fairfax street early this after
noon. When IN front OF the second
band store conducted by W. ". Simp-
son ne entered and leisurely proceeded
to remove his coat, which was as vet
as if just removed from the river. The
proprietor was in an adjoining room at
the time and did not see the stranger
when he entered. Tie latter, after re,
moving his coat, selectad one which
Simpson had exposed for sale and
drawing it on, left his garment and was
soon out of the neighborhood. The
proprietor, upon told of thetransaction
picked up the strangers coat and, after
examining it, said it was about as gooc
as the one which had been carried
away.
