II Athena revisits her proteges, the
spinners and weavers, the divinity
must rejoice at the products OF their
looms. Even goddess might wonder
at the beauty and splendor Of ribbons.
In them the colorist INDUCES his dain-
test and most gorgeous fancies. This
allows their use in dress accessories,
giving to the toilette touch Of that
"splendor dear to women"
Just now the vogue of the fancy
hand bag (nearly all Of them made Of
brilliant ribbons) helps solve the prob
lem of selecting Christmas gift. Bags

of the country. however. the Christ

DISTRIBUTING THE GIFTS
Some Novel Ways That viii Please
the Recipients and Add to the
Occasion.

Should one wish something more
original than Christmas gifts awk-
wardly thrust into ones hands by the
giver; should the time-honored stock
ing pail, here are several new ways
THAT may cause excitement In present
distribution.
Some member of the family or one
of the maids can enter the breakfast
room, where the table is prettily dec
GRATED with green's, but no gifts are
displayed. She should be heavily veil
ed, dressed in a long rain coat and
carry two or three cotton umbrellas,
furled.
Her appearance will excite surprise,
particularly If the sun shines. She will
insist that it is going to rain and try
to get her umbrellas raised.
Some of the children will offer to
assist and from the umbrella will fall
the packages, gaily tied and clearly
addressed. Anything that may suffer
from a tumble should be tied to the
ribs.
In one household the large family
has decided that each person shall
hunt up some novel way OF gift pre-
sentation. No one will know what the
other has selected. but the element OF
surprise will be emphasized.
A mother who wishes to avoid con-
fusion at the breakfast table has de-
cided that no presentation should be
made then. The family will be asked
to put their various presents in a GER
tain room on Christmas eve. All are
neatly tied and addressed. No one but

STUBBS TAKES TIME IN
HOSPITAL SITE MATTER
Won't Act on Findings of Board OF
Control Until December s,
He Declares.


Topeka, Kan.-Governor w. R.
Stubbs has announced that he will not
approve or reject the location of the
new state hospital for the insane at
Larned by the state board of control
until December s.
This will give ample time said the
governor, for any interested party to
present facts, figures and Information
concerning either the location at Lar
ned or any other point. Such facts'
figures and information should be pre-
sented in writing. Delegations from
different towns which wanted the nos
pital asked me to hear their Claims
but | told them that l would not take
up the matter until the board OF con-
troll had completed its findings, reach-
ed a decision and reported to me-"
A summary Of the report OF the
board of control to the governor on the
Larned location follows:
The new institution has to be located
at a county west of the ninety-eighth
meridian, and Great Bend and Larned
are the two towns most accessible.
In point of sightlness and general
Topographic features Larned possesses
great advantages over the Great Bend
site.
The Larned site also possesses
sort of unity of plan. The natural
drainage of the region with plteau-
like summit commands view or the
surrounding country for many miles.
This tract offers unusual opportunl-
ties for irrigation. The water supply
for this purpose is ample for every
need. The sewage from all the build
ings on the entire area could be col
lected at single point near the east
ern boundary of the tract and there be
discharged into Pawnee creek.
Near the east side of the tract Is
bank of gravel and sand of exceptional
quality, out of which can be made
dense and strong concrete. There is
clso a stratum of fire clay running
through the region.

on by their father at the opening of

OF twenty-five thousand dollars to

that he would not take hundred
thousand for their chances since re-
cent court decision gave them such a
marked advantage. The lard is said
