THERE IS ART IN
SEWING ON BUTTONS

When sewing on buttons. except on
very fine material. always use a double
thread, knOtted at the end, insert the
needle so that the knot will come on
the right side, directly under the button.
and down through an opposite hole TO
the wrong side OF the garment, first plac-
ing a pin under the bottom and between
the holes. so that the thread passes over
it. Do not remove the pin until the

DUAL OFFICE HOLDING.

The members of the General AS
sembly in session at Baton Rouge
who are filling more than one office
should, without delay, determine on
what office they would hold. Dual
office holding has been a political
scandal for years. 1t is sale to say
that Governor Hall will not permit
such scandal to continue.
1t is also plain that the great ma
iority of individuals named for OF
flee by Governor Sanders will be re-
tired to the activities Of private life,
if they would earn an honest liVell-
hood. There will be some exceptions
and one of these is DR.. Oscar DOWi-
ing of Shreveport. He accepted this
office he is filling reluctantly. He
practically sacrificed an income
from his profession which is greater
than the emoluments he derives
from his office. AS he realized the
needs of the State and he has ap-
piled himself diligently and hero
icalIy to his work. He has shed I'M
perishable luster on his profession
and on his State. He is the one man
who is in the right place. We doubt
if his equal can be found in the
State. In naming DR.. Oscar DoWl-
ing to continue in the good work he
is accomplishing, Governor Hall will
reflect the approval of the people
irrespective of political opinions,
views or inclinations.

charm to the face not to be denied.
The fair danes of those other years
wore these bands perfectly plain.
Those worn at present have jeweled

fashioned of ribbon.
There is great art In deftly fash

girl who does them well should con
graduate herself.
First cut band Of black velvet to
fit the neck of the wearer. Next sew
on black clasp fastener.
The band Is then folded in half and

pink satin or ribbon an inch wide and

the design Is too large the contour of
the neck Is spoiled.
