Plan for tuberculosis Day.

Sermons on the prevention Of con-
sumption will be preached in thou
sands of churches on April 2S. which
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention Of tuberculosis has
set aside as tuberculosis day.
Last year out of 100000 churches
in, the United States, over $4,000
observed tuberculosis day, and'mil-
lions of churchgoers were told
about this disease from the pull
pit. This year will be the third
observation of tuberculosis day. Plans
are being made to have the gospel OF
health preached more widely than
ever before. The movement wilIAbe
pushed through the 600 anti-tubercu-
losis associations allied with the ma
tional association and through the
boards OF health, women's clubs and
other organizations in hundreds OF
cities and towns throughout the coun-
try. Through these various bodies
the churches will be reached and .in-
terested in the tuberculosis campaign.

SHOE AND GLOVE FASHIONS
for Both Articles of Apparel
Just Now.

Entirely aside from this question Of
mourning every one knows that the
combination of black and white is be-
Ing featured this season more than
usual. Still 1t is a surprise to most
fashion observers to discover that
even the realm Of shoes is beginning
TO show this combination.
Some of the smartest OF the new
kid low-cut shoes have white uppers,
but shiny black heels and mere line
of black kid about the top.
An ultra smart model has the vamp
of soft-finish black and the uppers-
side and back-of white.
Black buttons on high white shoes
replace the pretty crystal buttons in
some instances. Black bows are favor
ed on all white shoes OF the pump"
or low Oxford type.
The black heel will be seen on
some Of the white canvas and buck
skin shoes in place Of the tan or
white covered heel.
Black stockings may be worn with
white shoes, or white stockings with
black ones.
Gloves show the same inevitable
combination. Some long gloves of
white kid have narrow diamond
shaped insets of black near the ell
bow, and long black gloves reverse
this order by having insets OF white.

NEW FEATURES ARE MARKED
Distinctive-Swagser Costume
in Combination.

An unusual tailored gown of fine
white French serge has panel all
the way down the front Of cross-tuck-
ed serge. Peeping from under each
tuck is seen the long half of pearl
button, making it look as though the
long row of buttons was but half
pushed through so many buttonholes.
The gown is completed by big sailor
collar of Irish linen.
A coat" of lace or chiffon is a fea-
ture of winter gowns. On one gown
Of white net the coat is of geranium-
colored chiffon, open over each hip.
All-over embroidery and filet inser-
tion form the coat" proper for a
lingerie model. This may be bought
separately as blouse TO be worn with
lingerie or linen skirt.
A swagger gown of heavy natural
rough crash is made up in combina-
ton with chamois taffeta, and is
braided in white. The rough linen
opens at both sides, not only in the
usual slash toward the foot, but also
in slit at the hip, showing the taffeta
as though 1t were a petticoat. The
girdle and a piping at the cuffs are
also Of taffeta, which is delicate
blue and green changeable tone.

Reunited in Strange Way.

While a scene in play was being
reproduced at a cinematograph the.
ater at st. Petersburg the other day,
peasant and his wife in the audience
recognized an actress in the scene as
their long-lost daughter. The woman
swooned, and her husband, shouting
MY daughter!" tried TO force his
way behind the stage, expecting to
find his daughter there. To convince
him that his daughter was not there,
the manager had the curtain drawn
up. Then ringing up the firm from
whom he had the film, the manager
was informed that the actress was
there and would set out for the the
ater at once. Soon after this informa-
ton had been given to the audience
a cab drove up with the actress, and
parents and daughter had an affection

TOO MUCH FOR THE LAWYER
How Michigan Congressman, Testi
flying as Lumber Expert, Silenced
the Noisy Attorney.

There is a certain representative In
congress from Michigan who was once
summoned as witness In case being
tried in Saginaw, the summons being
based on his expert knowledge of the
lumber business. 1t appears that the
whole case hinged on whether or not
merchantable lumber had been sup
piled a certain firm, as set forth In It's
contract with the party OF the Sec
ond part
Representing the opposition there
appeared a very vociferous lawyer
who made up in noise what he lacked
IN argument. He would shout and
roar and pound the table in front OF
him like an auctioneer.
What" demanded the counsel In
stentorian tones Of the witness, what
do you regard are merchantable
lumber?"
Lumber thav may be sold at a
profit" replied the imperturbable wit
ness.
The lawyer pounded the table again,
strutting about, shouting a good deal
more, and finally came back at the
witness IN this wise:
And what, sir, would you regard as
merchantable grain?"
Il don't know anything about
grain"
"Ah. you don't, you don't. eli?
Well, then, what about merchantable
fruit?'
Nor fruit. l am lumberman."
Come, now, my dear sir. AS to
slabs and culls-should you say that
they were merchantable?"
"They are products Of the mills"
"Oh, ho!" fairly yelled this law
yer this time. Can you tell the honor
able court whether you have any ideas
at all about any kind Of merchantable
goods?"
"Oh, yes," replied the redoubtable
witness. "A lawyer. for example, who
tries his case with his brains-I
should call him merchantable law
per; but the one who tries his case
with his mouth and his hands and
feet, should call him a cull!"
That closed the cross-examination.-

Tendency In skirts.

The skirts to suits are frequently
made with tunic effect, or a side
trimming, says the Dry Goods Econo-
mist. Sometimes both sides are
trimmed, while in others only the left
side. The slashed effect, with simulat-
ed uuderpetticoat, is also excellent,
and frequently the slashing is made
with an underskirt of self material,
but laid in inverted plaits so as to
give little more fullness In walking.
While there seems to be slight ten
dency toward little more fullness in
the skirts, the general effect is one OF
narrowness, and buyers are still ask
