FICHU IN GRACEFUL DRAPE
Pretty Idea That Might Be Copied by
Those DESTROYS of Having Dis
tinctve Appearance.

On a charming little frock too new
to have been initiated as yet the
graceful fichu was draped rather open
ly to show a vest or tucker" of fine
white batiste, the unique openwork
stripes of which, running up and down,
were simple rows where threads had
been drawn and the open spaces even
ly double hemstitched in black work
ing silk. The neck edge Of this was
rounded, and oval eyelets of the same
black working silk were threaded
through with a little twisted cord Of
black silk, the tasselled ends of which
fell to the knot of the fichu.
The turnback cuffs were of the
same hemstitcbed batiste, but with
stitched, giving rather severe but
extremely ZIP to date touch. A little
panel of tire same was let in the skirt,
revealed by the side draping Of the
gown fabric, and the waist line was
outlined by cordeiiere of black silk.
This double hemstitching, which is
even more effective and new, as used
for dress trimming, than the single
hemst1tch so much favored by Pari-
sian 'nodistes, is. by no means trouble
some to work if only care be taken to
take up the same number of threads
with each new knotting. 1t is worked
on the right side of the material, and
when done in heavy silk thread of
contrasting color lends itself to many
charming combinations In white on
white, however, it is especially adapt
ed for the borders of the new fichus,
and several rows can be wrought, one
beside the other

ECZEMA DISFIGURED BABY

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfigured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine OF the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. II.

Tailored Suits.

The skirts of tailored costumes con-
sinue decidedly narrow, although sur
ficient fullness is allowed to give am
pie room for walking. The new jack
cts, with slightly cutaway fronts, ex-
tend just TO the hips at the sides and
a little longer in the back. The adj
vent of longer jackets, cut half and
three-quarter length, is rumored from
abroad, but for the remainder of this
year at least hip-length Jackets are
considered the correct length.
Silk velvet is used for facing the
deep collars, wide revers and cuffs, in
many instances forming simulated pet
ticoat effects at the lower edge Of the
skirt. The regulation coat sleeve,
trimmed with a three to five-inch turn
back cuff, is the rule, the kimono
sleeve being confined to the extreme
~ dressy type of it,-Harper's

TRIBUTE PAID TO
FORMER PRESIDENT
University Praises John Bascom
in Great Memorial.
VAN HISE DELIVERS ADDRESS
Alumni, Regents and Members of Fac.
uIty Attend Services Held In Mu-
sic HaII--Judge siebecker
Also Talks.

Madison.-The Importance to the
state Of the influence Of great teach
er in shaping the ideas and ideals OF
his students, the future citizens Of the
commonwealth, was the keynote OF
the exercises held in memory of John
Bascom, president Of the University OF
Wisconsin from 1874 to 1887, in Music
hall of the University of Wisconsin.
Alumni, regents and members OF the
faculty joined in paying tribute to the
value of the services Of DR.. Bascom to
his students, to the university, and to
the state.
President Charles r.. Van Hise pre-
sided and delivered the opening adj
dress. James f. Trottman, "a, Mil
waukee, president of the board Of re-
gents. spoke on behalf Of that body.
Dean e. A. Birge represented the fac
ulty of the university. Judge r. C..
Siebecker of the supreme court deliv-
cred an address on behalf of the alum
nj. The invocation was offered by
Rev. Eugene G. Updike OF the First
Congregational church.
''The spirit of sacrifice, the burning
desire to serve humanity, which we
believe to be characteristic OF the
University Of Wisconsin, dates from
the presidency of John Bascom," de-
cIared President Van Hise in the
opening address. 1.-The fame kindled
in his day has not expired, but has
become steady and enduring fire OF
ever increasing extent. John Bascom
was among the prophets who from
time to time have appeared to reJuve-
nate and to arouse the invincible de-
termination so to live as to advance
the human race toward the goal never
attained and never attainable, of IL
limitable power, complete understand
ing and spiritual perfection"
Judge r. G.. Siebecker of the SUI
preme court, In speaking on behalf OF
the alumni Of the university, said in
part:
John Bascom stood firmly upon
the rock that men and women must be
of use in the world, and that no school
could justify its existence on other
grounds than the contribution it
makes to society through wiser,
stronger and better men and women
He believed government to be the off,
spring of our human need and the
school to be one of the agencies to
supply these wants, and hence 1t must
not restrict It's effort to developing
the student for the qualification only
of his individual desires and wants.
Such an educational system must lead
to the degeneracy of seIfishness and
cupidity, and fail of fulfilling its pur-
pose as a social institution"

Wants Books Straight.

State Treasurer Dahl is worrying
over the administration of the teach
ers' pension law passed by the last
Legislature, and he may appeal to the
attorney generals department
The law provides that the pension
fund for teachers shall represent ten
cents for each child of school age,
with the exception of Milwaukee, in
the state, this sum to be deducted
from the common school fund Mr.
Dahl declares that If he makes this
deduction from the common school
fund his books will show a discrep-
ancy of $4,000 as compared to books
in the Office of the secretary of state.
1t is purely question of accounting,
so that his books will not show a
shortage, and Mr.. Dahl may decide to
ask the attorney general to advise him
in the matter.

Figures on the proportion of the
