New YORK Nov. g..
A welI-known banker, who is recognized
as one of our foremost authorities on mer-
camille finance, was optimistic i'll stating
that he saw nothing to prevent increasing
prosperity for some time. Regarding the
tariff, he expressed the hope that the De-
mocrats would not interpret the election as
IA mandate for drastic tariff reform. He
considered, rs many political observers DO,
that the success Of the Democrats has been
due rather to the divisions and difficulties
of their enemies than to any belief of the
country in the policies that they advocate,
and especially tariff reform He believed
that the Democrats fully realize the oppo,-
tunity they now have "to make good" and
will therefore proceed conseryatiyely and
DO nothing to jeopardize the prospect of a
Democratic success again in i9l6.-Time$,

ed. Many women prefer a white belt
with dark skirt, as il gives greater
length to the waist. For this purpose
the embroidered belt gives a dainty
touch 10 the costume, and is to be espe-
cially commended. because one need
never wear a belt which is past its
first youth. Busy fingers can decorate
the strips of linensor heavy cotton in
odd moments, thus accumulating in
unappreciable time a stock of belts
sufficient unto the day and lis needs.
To those who like the skirt with the
high waistline, fashion yields a point
and allows them the continued use Of
that becoming style. Fully as many
high cut skirts will be seen this sum-
mer as belted ones, so that no quar-
rel need be started by the advocates
of either mode
Directors TO the shirt waist have
urged against it the difficulty of keep
ing it properly tucked within the belt
and a variety Of devices have been
tried 10 accomplish the desired result,
all more or less disastrous to the IA
brio of the waist "A feasible plan re-
Gently suggested by a we'll known mo-
diste is to sew a tape across the back
of the shirt waist to the under-arm
seams and sew to it several button-
hole covered eyelets. Hooks sewn to
the skirt belt can be caught in these
without danger Of a parting of the
ways or a tearing of the goods.
The shirt waist itself may be used
in the combination of skirt and waist
in one piece dress with satisfactory
results. as shown in Fig. ?. White
linen with collar and cuffs of dark
blue and an inset of dark blue in the
skirt to match the waist will make one

an excellent model for. all simple ma

lent also for light weight fannels
The skirt is made in four pieces, those
az the sides being wide and Tapped
onto the narrow ones at front and
back. The model is pretty grace
ful and altogether desirable and is
excellent for the coat suit and the en-
Tire gown as we'll as for separate
wear This season serge is to be OK
tensively used. but mohair also is a
favoritc material and some of the
new cotton bengalines are exceedingly
handsome for skirts Of this kind The
waist Is a perfectly plain one with
box plat at the front and can be
finished with or without the patch
pocket The sleeves arc without full
ness at the shoulders and can be fin-
ished With deep turned over cuffs or
with plain straight ones, but the turn

Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1912-01-25

Today is the 153rd anniversary of
the birth Of Robert Burns, ScOtland's
most gifted and most popular poet.
The son of a poor farmer, his life
from the start was one of incessant
toll and struggle against poverty, mis-
fortune and the weakness of his own
flesh In spite of these obstacles he
achieved in the short space of IS
years, high place in the worlds liter
allure. He was a natural born sing
er and many of the simplest and most
commonplace objects and occurrences
in life were by him embalmed in
rhymes that will live as long as Ian
guage endures. An uprooted daisy
and a disturbed mouses nest became
themes for sweetest song. His poems
breathe the sprightliness as we'll as
the pathos and melancholy that were
characteristic of the man. He touch
ed the hearts of mankind with his
melody, and his memory will therefore
never be forgotten.
