Taft Forces Win Every Point.
From the day when the national
committee met to begin the hearing
of contests. the Roosevelt forces
never wor a point of any moment.
With all the machinery In their con-

anything that could endanger their

their clever work was the way in
which the report Of the committee on

vention II came in TO the hail piece

This enabled Chairman Root to make
the eminently fair ruling that the
delegates whose seats were involved
in each fragment OF the report should
not vote on its adoption. 1t sound
ed good, but il was perfectly safe.
On only one Of these reports was the
Taft majority reduced to perilous
point That was the California case,
considered one of the strongest
brought UP by the Roosevelt men, and
the Taft vote was 542, just two over
a majority

UNIQUE GARDEN BOOTH
FOR A FAIR

A BOOTH that made an unmistak-
able hit at an outdoor fair was one
dedicated to gardeners and gardening.
The stall was built In square shape and
was covered with verdant colored dem
i'm to suggest a greensward- The top
was massed with bushes. and tiny toy
trees were glued upright to the denim
here and there. Around the booth ran
a sanded walk, along which visitors
passed to make their purchases. This
walk was marked out with bay trees
and box bushes with garlands OF green
stretched from one to another Of them.
The fair aids were attired in green
any other appropriate dress-for in
stance. a flower costume-could be
substituted.
On each of the four counters of the
quadrangle things of use to the gar
dener were sold
On one there were garden tools, wa
tering pots. insect remedies for plants
and other useful accessories in the art
of horticulture. On another side seeds.
bulbs clippings and roots were dis
played, ticketed at moderate prices.
The novel idea adopted for still an
other counter was that of growing pots
Of various kinds, all interesting to the
kitchen-mint. for instance, fresh and
green chives. parsley and other pot
herbs, while the fourth side was. of
coarse. given over to growing flowers
IN pots.

POINTS ABOUT THE NEW
BABY'S CLOTHES

4 s soon as the prospective visit of

perienced mother becomes deeply in
terested in the subject of proper clothes
for infants. What to her has always
been a vague possibility now has be-
come a charming reality, but she real
ICES how unprepared she Is for the
event.
Simplicity should be the keynote of
the layette and but few articles are
necessary. For a very simple outfit
the following garments will be suffi-
Client:
, Three abdominal bands made of soft
white flannel eight inches wide and
twenty inches long. These should not
be hemmed. but the edges may be
notched
Three soft white wool or cotton and
wool shirts. The latter are the more
desirable. as they are not as liable to
half wool shirts may be obtained in
several weights. but usually a medium
weight is best.
Three white flannel skirts. These
take the place of the pinning blanket.
No other petticoat Is necessary. al
Though some mothers prefer to have a
white cotton skirt which may be trim
med with lace or embroidery.
Six white cotton slips should be pro-
vided. These seem more appropriate
for baby if made very simply. The
neck and sleeves may be finished with
lsome dainty edging, but elaborate
trimmings are out of place. The
dresses should be provided with but
/ tons and buttonholes, as pins are likely
ito become unfastened.
| Three kirnonos made of outing white
| flannel are very useful AS they fasten
| in front, they are convenient to be
worn the first few days of a baby's life
After that they may be used for night
dresses. Those who prefer nightgowns
of standard pattern should provide
three.
/ Besides these there should be provid-
ed two small blankets or shawls in
which to wrap the baby. One is not
sufficient. as it is liable to become soil
ed and must be changed. The baby
will also need a cape or coat and bon
net for outdoor wear.
i These. with two dozen diapers. are
the essentials of a baby's outfit. al

such as safety pins. which will be

sick children in their efforts to amuse
the babies.

sick to cut those pictures that pleased
her best out OF pile of old maya

story. Then / placed these scraps in
basket on table and called up the
invalid's sisters and brothers and
dealt one picture out to each child in
turn. The children sitting to the left
of me (the dealer) looked carefully at
his picture and began a story. bring

PEN PAINTING A NEW
IDEA IN NEEDLEWORK

DEN painting is not a new art by any
means. but 1t is new as applied to
cushions, household linens and dress
decorations. The method was invented
many years ago by nun in one of the
old converts of southern France, and it
has all the appearance Of handsome
embroidery.
centers and doilies is only a part of
its possibilities. for the pen painting is
now used for identifying the corsages
and hens of evening frocks.
AS 1t is easy to learn and pleasant
work to do, 1t is likely to win many adj
mirers among artistic girls who are
looking for an agreeable pastime this
summer.

BEAUTY HINTS FOR THE
SUMNER GIRL

THE hair is never bright and fragrant
after the shampoo unless at least
three separate applications Of soap
have been applied One application re-
moves only a part of the oil and dust.
and unless 1t is followed by at least
one more soaping, preferably two. 1t is
gray and lusterless when dry. A Wig
orous massage covering the entire
scalp Immediately after the shampoo
will give new life and sheen to the hair;
also it removes all danger of catching
cold. The hair should be completely
dry before 1t is combed out or brushed
and should be given at least fifty long
firm strokes with the brush once it is
dry.
