ScroIIwork Drapery.

Soft satins are draped with mousse
line and chiffon, having a covering OF
Renaissance scrollwork all over in a
darker shade, that Is most lovely. The
graceful drapery Of such gowns is
quite indescribable. A very pretty soft
falling black satin has black lace
front over white chiffon, the vest all
puckered and white chiffon brought
to the neck with the black lace on
either side. The sleeves are made Of
black tulle puffings over white to the
wrist. On many of the black dresses
a touch of color is introduced and has
a wonderful effect, seeing how little
is used-just strip Of ribbon intro
duced on one side. Many of the gowns
made in diaphanous materials have
a panel of satin starting from above
the waist and carried down the en-
tire length of the skirt.

RAINY DAY SUIT FOR CHILD
Something That Every Youngster
Needs-Its Manufacture and Proper
Mode of Preservation.

Overalls-Get a pattern one size
larger than age called for; cut the pat
tern off just above the knee, and if de-
sired raise the material under the
arm, also over the back and chest.
This is not always necessary; it de-
ponds upon the pattern of overall. Try
the pattern against the child, and al
low from four to six inches below the
collar.
Cape-Circular cape; length, lit
tie shorter than length inside of the
elbow, to give perfect freedom.
Sleeves-Plain, not full, cut by any
ordinary sleeve pattern.
Place the cape and the sleeves on
the child and where the sleeves nat
urally join the cape, pin over the
shoulder and haste. The underpart
of the sleeve is left free, and is bound
with narrow bias fold of material or
tape. Stitch the military strap on top
Of the shoulder of the cape to pre-
vent the stitching showing. This adds.
strength and gives trim effect.

removed from the stove) in a kettle

sorb paraffin. Lift out carefully by
the hem and allow to drip. When dry,
the garment will be stiff. Rub between.
the hands to reduce stiffness and re-
move any unnecessary paraffin, which
is apt to be too thick in heavy places.
The garment may be redipped at any
time and the same paraffin may be
used again. Generally two clippings
annually give perfect satisfaction.

Ruttoned Down the Back.

Skirts buttoned all the way down
the back are the latest caper of fash
ion. An evening gown, worn at a
large reception recently, had one of
these skirts. The gown was OF pale
yellow satin charmeuse, the sides of
the skirt being lifted in slight draped
effect at the hip and passing under
the broad panel which formed back
and train. This back panel was but
toned down the center with small but
tons of the yellow satin set closely
together, and the line of buttons ex-
tended from the waist line to the
end OF the train. The satin skirt
was draped up over bodice Of yellow
chiffon, and yellow satin buttoned
boots and long, embroidered gloves of
pale yellow silk completed the cos
tune.

AS our manners improve, have our
children as good manners as our IA
theirs or grandfathers had? We do not
mean by good manners what the new
er term social etiquette implies.
Among the so-called social sets we
find changing codes which direct the
form Of handshaking, modes OF ex-
preston in meeting people, repetition
of useless don't you knows" In con-
versation, ability to select from null
THORN knives, forks and spoons for
the multiform courses at luncheon and
dinner, says the Knoxville Journal and
Times. We can detect no purpose In
these flippant forms of fashion except
ing as the knowledge is a badge or
fellowship. And there seems to be
much striving to get within the circle.
But these mcnnerisms are not good
manners. The essence Of good man
ners is kindness and courtesy. They
extend below the surface deep into
the character. A person habitually po-
lite is one who has transformed into
conduct the habit of thinking of 9TH
ers. They are apostles of good cheer,
being unwilling to cause embarrass-
ment or chagrin to either their social
confreres or the lowliest person they
meet.

MENACE OF DRUGS.

The number OF people in this coun-
try who are becoming addicted to the
different phases of what is known as
the drug habit is so numerous as TO
excite alarm. Years ago the victims
Of drugs were confined to consumers
of opium or morphine, says the Mil
waukee Wisconsin. Now there Is q
considerable variety of habit-forming
drugs, with cocaine at the head OF the
Inst. At first lit was hailed for its
usefulness as local anesthetic. Now
1t Is dreaded for the number of men
and women who have fallen under its
sway, and whom 1t reduces to condi-
ton Of moral responsibility. Many
probably nearly all-of the victims
of cocaine and other habit-forming
drugs use them at first for medicine.
They are prescribed by physicians to
allay pain. The hideous evils that fol-
low slavery to these drugs rarely are
dreamed OF by those who use them,
until after their use has become a
habit, and then the damage is done
for dr. habits, once formed, are In
conceivably difficult to break. These
drugs shatter the nervous system and
blunt the moral faculties and predis-
pose their slaves to crime. No won
der that physicians and officials
charged with the administration OF the
criminal laws are banding together to
check the sale and use OF these In
sidious destroyers of health and NOR
ais.

A Great Prophecy.
When the first sin was committed

promise that one should come who
would overcome the evil one. This
promise increases in definiteness and
broadens in scope through types. and
symbols, and sacrifices; in character,
and story, and song, until we read
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and
carried our sorrows. But he was
wounded for our transgressions. He
was bruised for our iniquities; the
chastisement of our peace was upon
him; and with his stripes we are heal
ed All we like sheep have gone
astray; we have turned every one to
his own way; and the Lord hath laid
on him the iniquity of us all. When
the angel announced the incarnation
he said Thou shalt call his name Je-
sus, for he shall save his people from
their SINS" and when the angels pro-
claimed his coming they said "A Sa-
vior, which is Christ the Lord" Jesus

BISHOP MGOLRICK GIVES
SOME VERY TIMELY ADVICE

Bishop McGolrick made a mighty
sensible speech in his own character
1st1c style the other evening before
the French Naturalization club in
which he urged his hearers to get an
acre of ground and live on it.
The good bishop recognizes that no
workingn1an can obtain land at a rea-
sonable price near his work, so he ad-
vices that 1aborers purchase land on
the outskirts of the city. He advo-
Gated half fare street railway rates
for children, and said it would not
be long before the street railway COM
pany would find it necessary to build
Its lines to accommodate the people
OF all portions of the community.
The bishop also recognized, far
sighted as he is, that the eight-hour
day for laborers was necessary to en-
courage them to live far from their
work, and to give them time to do
their gardening after working hours
and while it is still day light.
The real estate exchange ought to
invite Bishop McGolrick to deliver
the same speech before its members.
1t they heed his advice and act on
1t, not only wholesome improve
ment in industrial conditions will be
realized, but their own business will
be materially increased in a surpris-
ingly short time.

INDUSTRIES THAT ARE SAFE
TO BRING no THIS CITY

s. J. Cusson, general manager of
the Virginia Lumber company, was in
Duluth this week, and while here he
gave the people of this city a few
nuts to crack.
He spoke Of the fast declining lum-
Der industry, and said there was a
food field in Duluth for the .encour-
agement of wooden ware and kindred
industries, and all that was needed
to get such institutions started here
was a little activity on the part of
Duluth people.
Mr.. Cusson has hit the nail on the
head. He has given a suggestion
worth needing. Now if the Com
mercial club wants to make good use
Of that $4,000 Of the money it
coaxed from the Duluth merchants q
golden opportunity presents itself.
The Labor World begs leave to in
form some of the interested gentle
men Of the Commercial club that this
is one field that is not "overcrowded,"
and new institutions ct the character
suggested by Mr.. Cusson will not in
the slightest degree cut into the bust
ness of a single member of an i'm
portant committee Of the club. So it
will be safe to being them here.

U. S. SUPREME COURT ON ~ -,
RIGHT OF POPULAR RULE

The refusal of the supreme court
OF the United States to annull the
initiative and referendum is a great
victory Tor all who are striving to
make conditions better. A decision
in accordance with the contention of
the plutecratic litigants who were
trying to overthrow these measures
would have given a backset to the
reform cause, although it would have
been but temporary.
The person must be innocent. in
deed, who believes that the court.
constituted as it is, would not have
much preferred to decide otherwise.
In all probability the agitation for
the recall of the judiciary had more
to do with securing this decision than
any consideration Of the merits Of the
case. The record of the court and of
the individual judges indicates that
this is the most reasonable conclu-
sion. The judges must have been
blind, indeed, if they did not see
that different decision would have
fastened the recall (Which is coming
too fast for them anyway, besides
stirring up a popular demand for a.
speedy reorganization of the court
Like the English house of lords, they
have seen the unwisdom Of opposing
the popular will too much.
Although immediate danger of the
overthrow of popular government in
Oregon and other states possessing
it has passed, the fact must be borne
In mind that the court could have
overthrow it if the judges had not
lacked the courage. Their possess
sion of such power is an evil whether
they see fit to use it or not. Some
day there may be five judges on the
bench who will fail to remember that
"discretion is the better part Of
valor.''
