easily made. The blouse is all in n
piece and the skirt is straight ami
gathered at the upper edge. The two
are joined by means of a belt. There
are the fewest possible seams to be
sewed up. yet the effect is one of ex-
treme smartness. For the dressy frock
nothing prettier than pongee could be
suggested, but the same model will he
found a good one for lawn and batiste,
for the still simpler ginghams and the
like. Bordered materials are being
extensively used, and. as the skirt is
straight, it lends itself to such with
exceptional success. The border can
be cut off and used as trimming on the
blouse. In the back view, the dress
is shown made of plain material

is a pretty one for every day occa-

Dress for Business Woman

~ are our mainstay, says Sophie I'm
derwood in an exchange, and neatness
is our greatest sartorial virtue. But
these things being said. there is much
more on the subject of the business
woman's clothes.
Consider first our handicap. Whereas
our stay-at-home sisters can have a
eeamstress In the house, or can stitch
up their own blouses or take the
time to wrestle with the dressmaker,
we can do none of these things because
of our Office hours. At least, II we do
them we must do them hurriedly and
in the evenings when we should be rec
reating or resting. | know exactly what
1t means to leap away from the office
at 8 o'clock precisely and hurry away
uptown-why do dressmakers always
live in such inaccessible spots?--and
stand for q fitting, and then get home
late for dinner and utterly worn out.
The climax usually comes when the
stay-at-home sister produces a darling
little handmade blouse which she has
just leisurely finished,
If we eschew the ~dressnaker, there
is the shop with It's ready-made things,
which, be they ever so lovely. are never
quite right under the arms and are
always too large in the cuffs. OF course,
if you are the possessor of an abso-
lutely perfect figure, with the SYM
metrical measurements of the beautiful
wax ladies in the windows, the ready
made blouse or frock is a joy to you.
But to many the ready-nlade is always
an unsatisfactory makeshift.

MOTHERS BIRTHDAY.

Do not let mothers birthday slip by
unnoticed. She will enjoy being re-
membered as well as any of the chill
dren, perhap ever more so If the sur
prise is unexpected. If the weather
permits, have a porch party. There is
always a novelty about out-of-door
affairs, and so much of the year one
is forced to remain indoors. 1t will
probably be possible to get a number
of mothers old-time friends to write
letters to be rea on this occasion. OF
couse, the birthday cake will be the
centre of attraction, and have it sur
rounded by a ring which may be made
out of a barrel hoop covered with
flowers and into which the candles are
fastened. Be sure that the rest of the
refreshments are just what mother
likes best and endeavor to make the
day glad from morn to ~noon-from
noon to dewy eve"

WHITE RIBBON THE STYLE.


Just now it is considered good form
to wear white ribbons only in ones
underwear. This has not been the case
for some time when the ribbons show
under a sheer blouse, but now white"
is the rule for every spot that can be
beribboned.
In buying ribbons for underwear 1t
pays to get a good quality; otherwise
new must be bought after n wash
ing. ANnice grade of wash ribbon will
launder repeatedly, especially if not
colored.
The busy girl or one who u count
cost finds a good substitute for ribbon
in white linen bobbin. This is bought
by the bolt. and If caught in the middle
so as not to pull out Is always in place.
When ribbon must be run hurriedly
and no bodkin is at hand try a small
safety-pi / caught through n end.

provide safe methods for escape in
the case of fire; therefore.
% 1t shall be the duty of all
owners or lessees of public halls.
theaters, and opera houses to pro-
vide suitable and sufficient exits to
such buildings, and the doors to said
exits shall remain unlocked during
all performances and shall in all
cases open outwardly, and not in
wardly.''
Article two provides that commit
tee consisting of the heads of the police
and fire departments together with the
mayor shall, as committee of three.
inspect all such buildings at least semi
annually.
Take our local conditions. At the re-
cent revival meeting at the Methodist
church, suppose an alarm of fire had
been raised with the building literally
packed and the doors opening inwardly.
Imagination can scarcely picture the
loss of life that would have resulted
from the neglect of so simple a precsu-
ton as having the doors open outward
ly and unlocked. Conditions are similar
at all the other churches in our city.
The Act of the Assembly neglected to
provide for another and more impor-
tant provision for public safety, and
that is to make it penal offense to al
low chairs to be placed in the aisles.
The means of egress of the local church
es and amusement halls are none too
wide to allow for the rapid movement
of the crowds, and in case of an alarm
of fire, an overturned chair in an aisle
would mean more than one death. Such
carelessness is criminal. Fortunately.
however, there is a remedy. Article
four Of the Act provides:
az The council of any city or
town may make such further provis-
ions insuring the safety of the pub
lie using such buildings as they may
see proper to make, not in conflict
with this act.''
Let then our new council pass a suit
able ordinance to cover the risk and
then see that the committee provided
Tor by the Act does its duty and makes
the semi-annual inspection to see that
the provisions of the ordinance are be-
ing carried out.

out:

To make country life popular the idea
must be abandoned that such life is in
ferior socially and in other ways to that
OF the city. That such an idea does
prevail with many young people is I'M
questioned. Said a young fellow re-
Gently while visiting relatives in the
city, "Oh, don't let US talk country
here" He really felt some inferiority
of position because he was a country
lad. Let it be instilled into the minds
of young people that not only is country
life honorable, but that in many respects
it is the most honorable and fascinating
of occupations because it brings one
close to nature and, oftentimes, close to
natures God. The poet was about
right who said that God made the
country and man made the town."

The Presidential YstOsS.
San Bernardino (Calf.) Index.

eau Dotharuino NORu-) index.
The reasons assigned by President
TAFT for vetoing the wool bill appear to
be good and sufficient ones. He has
promised to give the matter further
consideration when his tariff board re-
ports and when he has had time to weigh
the data presented. This is fair enough.
He is committed to tariff revision, and
1t Is yet to be shown that he does not
favor it, but at the same time he is not
willing to rush headlong into any hastily
devised schedules, which certainly ex-
hibits his wisdom.
The great trouble with our tariff tink-
ering is that it is up to deliberative
body composed of nearly 500 members
representing states and districts having
many diverse interests and each men,
Der cat-hauling for his individual con-
stituency. Any tariff arrangement
should be an equitable adjustment
among all the sections and people con-
cerned. On the contrary each senator
and representative is looking for the
best of it in his particular instance, and
the man who has the strongest haul
usually comes off best. Schedules.
therefore, are not formulated by tariff
experts but they are rushed into pre-
cipitately in few short months by a
Heterogeneous body incompetent as
whole to ultimately pass upon the mat
ter There are doubtless a few tariff
experts in both houses, but it is safe to
say that the average federal senator or
representative is not one.
The idea of a non-partisan tariff
board or commission composed of men
who understand the matter and who
will deal justly with the different Sec
tons OF the country is the correct one.
1t is impossible to satisfy every inter
est, but it is not impossible to reach
schedules which will be approximately
just to all.
1t took the German tariff board seven
years to decide upon the schedules now
operative, and the French five, but once
liked there is no occasion for immediate
change. The tariff is not, in reality. or
should not be, a political issue 1t should
DC settleo Dy non-partlsan board and
allowed to stand until the arising of
real exigencies to occasion a change,
and this eternal tinkering which keeps
the country upset industrially cut out.
In the matter of Mr.. Taft's vetoine
the statehood bill, The Index is not pre-
pared to go quite SO far in way of vindi-
cation. Such a course, however. was
expected. Mr.. Taft has efficiently Of
ficiated on the bench himself, and along
with the rest of the members of the le-
gal profession, he doubtless has an ex-
aggerated idea of the sanctity of the
judiciary. If the principle of recall is
right in any instance we cannot see but
that 1t is right in all. We have never
been able to reach the conclusion that
judges are incorruptible to a greater
extent than any other class of public
servants. History fails to show that
they are, and also that they are no less
liable to be biased by special interests.

HARVEST OF DEATH.

In Cannonsburg, Pa, Saturday
night twenty-five persons were kill
ed and more than sixty injured in a
moving picture theater. Immedi-
ately following the explosion of a
film someone shouted fire. The au-
dience rushed for the exit, and in a
moment there was a writhinD.
seething mass of humanity ten feet
high in the narrow stairway leading
to the entrance of the theater. A
majority of the audience was com
posed of women and children.
'This disaster, like every other
similar disaster in the country, was
apparently due to criminal negli-
gence. If proper precautions had
been adopted and ample means of
egress provided, the crowd could
have poured into the street in few,
moments without soul being hurt.
The prOprietors of the theater, un-
der the indignant demand of the
public, will make elaborate altera-
tons in their establishment, and
when it is opened again for enter
tainments, every possible source of
danger will have been removed.
People never learn save through ex-
perience. Greed and selishness
and an intense desire to get rich
quick, blind the eyes of amusement
promoters and lead them to take
fearful chances. When too late
they wake to full consciousness of
their criminal conduct, but their
grief and remorse cannot raise the
dead.-Roanoke World.
