New Oleo Law is Killed.

The oleomargarine law passed at
the last session Of the legislature
prohibiting the .coloring of oleo to
make it resemble butter has been
declared unconstitutional by the
state supreme court. The decision
was based on the case of the state
against Ole Hanson, Mankato
merchant.
The court goes exhaustively into
the merits of the case and discusses
the ''golden yellow butter of june"
and the "light colored butter of
winter,' as. compared to oleomar-
garine of any yellow shade. It de-
clares that butter is not. entitled to
monopoly of the shade of yellow,
and that oleo is entitled to place
in the field
Joel G.. Winkjer, state dairy and
food commissioner, says he will con-
suit with the attorney general on the
preparation of new bill to protect
the dairy interests from the .compe-
tition of yellow oleomargarine.

arrived they shook him violently and

meet" says a traveller. ''Her eyes,
brows and hair must be black as night,
her lips. cheeks and gums as red as
blood, her skin and teeth as white as
almonds and her back, limbs and fin
gers long. If these conditions are nat
urally absent they are supplied as far

Useful. Hint For the Girl Who Gives
~ Card Parties.
The hostess In search Of pretty card
prizes can make the following novel
ties II she cares to take the trouble:
An inexpensive prize can be made Of
a yard of shadow insertion seven or
eight inches wide. Each end is drawn
into a big ivory ring to weight the lace
and hold 1t In place when thrown
round the neck to protect blouse
from the coat collar.
A variation Of this lace strip Is to
use smaller ringe and attach to them a
ruffle Of lace to match the insertion.
The strip can then be taken around
the neck as a stock. tied in front and
used to make Dutch necked. blouse
becoming when worn with a coat The
weighted ends avoid the use Of pin
ming.
One hostess bought enough silk at a
sale to make half q dozen silk klmo-
nos of simple pattern. She will bind
them with bias folds Of the silk. put
on with loose chain stitch In white
rope silk. This gives a finishing touch
at little cost and not much work. These
klmonos are to be prizes at a bridge
party to be given in honor Of bride.
The hostess who paints can make In
expensive and popular prizes BY doing
sets Of dinner and tally cards in unique
design. These may be for holiday oc-
casions. as for Halloween. Thanks
giving or Christmas, but are safer
when not specialized.
