Beauty Of Woodwork.

There is a friendly atmosphere in
the presence Of much woodwork--not
painted wood, but wood finished to
show the beauty of it's natural growth
that Is entirely lost in an expanse
of smooth. hard paint. It's mellow
lights and soft shades form far more
restful background than any papered
surface, and it's strength and durabil-
ity make a wood finish ideal for a
house that is to suggest the feeling of
permanence and stability that belongs
to the true home.-Suburban Life.

which must often stand a deal of
drudgery, down to the apron in which
she does her preserving and canning,
styles are immensely pretty, while
losing nothing of practicality.
This Is an excellent season for the
Sewing ofworking clothes, but If there
Us no time for the larger pieces Of
work, the frocks needed can be ready
made at small cost. All of the shops
keep the little wash. cotton gowns
needed, clubbing them house dresses
or maids dresses, and they are as
heap as cheap, good models in durable
materials selling as low sometimes
as 98 cents. The frocks are in one
piece style, with white bands upon
color, and plain bands upon figured
fabrics and the buyer who loves
dainty effects may indulge In charm
ing colors-violet, pale blue, or some
shades of green, yellow or pink. Why
wosh dishes in an ugly dress when
you can get pretty one that washes
quite as well, perhaps better? The
unsightly home gowns are commonly
made in dark colors, and these are
less likely to stand soap and water
than are the light colors.
Our sketch presents the working
apron in very desirable phase, and
the material used In this case is blue
and white percale. The front and sides
Of the apron are cut separately so that
a narrow goods could be used, and the
capacity of the pocket Is decidedly
strengthened through It's being put
Into the seam. Checked gingham,
denim and crash would make the more
sturdy aprons which would be wanted
In this style, but the gayer cottons,
white with floral figures, are very pret-
ty and much used. A sleeve protec-
tor in the same material as the apron
Is useful detail, and a good model
for this Is also shown with the pic
ture. The Up is of sheeting in loose
weave, and it is gathered in a tape,
which Is removed for laundering.
Mop caps are always becoming to
pretty faces, and when in correct fab
RIGS they seem to give proper finish
for working clothes. Besides, they
en- odors and seem to indicate a pune
tilious neatness in all kitchen mat
ters. Some charming house caps Of
workaday sort are made of big ban
danna handkerchiefs, arranged SO that
two points will fall over the ears. Caps
for afternoon use are bewilderingly
pretty, little fooleries of muslin and
ribbon which in many cases are worn
with tiny matching apron. The two
pretty things are for afternoon tea
use, and they are likewise donned for
the clubs sewing spree
The aprons for this dressy use run
to exceeding smallness. They are
mere wisps, covering only the front Of
the skirt, and generally gathered over
q ribbon waistband.

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 2.-Leading
Democrats are trying to bring about
peace between Tom Taggart and Gov

mittee Taggart has agreed to solid
delegation from this state to the ma

fuses to accede to the wishes of Mar

with these instructions:
Tell the governor l was in earnest
about indorsing him for the presidency
and am as much in earnest now as
then and that am in favor Of electng
some one to the craftsmanship of the
state committee who is as friendly to

Still Stands.

Washington, Jan. 2-President Taft
was very glad when today came. He
is tired all over. his arm aches from
finger tips to shoulder, and the good
right hand with which he signs bills
and other things is considerably swol-
len, but he has the comforting knowl-
edge that his New Years reception
was n big success, that the attendance
broke all records for similar affairs in
his administration and had almost
edualed the figures for the last Roose-
welt reception when the colonel was
leaving for private life and darkest
Africa and lots of folks were giving
the lions absent treatment and won.

really as catching as the medical
sharps tried to make out.
Just S,092 handshakes came Mr..
Taft's way, according to the secret
service man with the numeral register
who stood at his elbow. Last year
only $500 people called to pay their
respects, and the total for the last
Roosevelt reception was only 5000, OF
lust sos more than greeted Mr.. Taft
this year. If some OF the presidents
friends had known in time that the
record was within their grasp they
might have been tempted to round VI
enough of the floating population OF
Washington to beat the Roosevelt fig
ures. Not that 1t would have meant
anything IN particular, but just in
spirit of gentle rivalry and to start the
new year right.
But Mr.. Taft is convinced that SOB.
handshakes are quite sufficient for one
reception, and he was unfetgnedly
glad when an usher slipped into the
blue room and cold him the end of thu
long line was in sight.
