Ribbon Wreath

A lovely hair ornament for evening
is made by braiding loosely silk cord
of three different shades the neces.
sary length to crown the head, says a
writer in the Woman's Home Compan-
ion. Make two rosebuds of silk to
match the cord, and sew these to one
end Of the cord. This ornament is
fastened together by hook and eye.
A pretty color scheme is to have the
cords of pink, green and gold; the
rosebuds of pink-and-gold shaded rib
bon, with green velvet leaves as q
background for the roses.

nne.Sided Couture.

The hair is being dressed low. If
there is a pompadour at all it is
brushed smoothly over pads that are
somewhat higher at one side than
the other. Often the hair is parted
and drawn back over the ears with
a cluster of curls escaping from under
the bands. Coils of hair arranged in
a two stranded plat are seen curled
low at the back, and there are chignon
effects also, while sometimes one may
see surviving the older fashion of
draping the hair round the head till
it resembles nothing so much as a
cOcoanut

The splendid and gorgeous fabrics
brought out this season can only be
worn to best advantage when they
are made up into ample draperies that
fall about and enshroud the figure.
They have proven an inspiration to
designers. Fabrics have for years
indeed outdistanced styles. When we
look at these marvels from the loom
we realize that they are fit for god
desses to wear.
Perhaps. for this very reason, cloaks
are long but full. Materials are so
supple that they incline to fall to the
figure and to aid them they are provid-

Prior TO the year 1850, the petroleum,
springs which existed in various quar-
tiers were mainly regarded az natural
curiosities. In fact that year p. l..
Drake OF Titusville, Pa. bored well
which was to start the petroleum
trade. Drake was regarded as a
dreamer when he began to bore, but he
kept on. and when the bore reached
a depth OF some seventy-fiye feet he
found that he was the possessor Of an
"oil welP' with a capacity of twenty
five barrels day. After that the flu
ture of petroleum was assured, and
with leaps and bounds the trade went
on to its present huge proportions.

Most appropriate for this season of
the year, becoming dark colors have
precedence in millinery. In the We
iours, browns and similar fabrics
which are so much used, the darker
colors are always most beautiful.
These are frequently accentuated and
relieved from too extreme somberness
by touch of white. The hat In the
drawing has a charrningly rolled brim
of unexaggerated Zines, but with the
modish extension OF brim CT the side.
This hat is of black velvet, with high
square crown, against which beau
tiful breast and wings Of white stands
out in bold relief. Two supplementary
wings increase the length OF the sides.

ed with little weights where needed.
A superb coat OF satin and a gold
brocaded fabric is shown here. 1t is
worn with muff and hat of chinchilla
and an ostrich neck ruff.
The dress under the coat is of satin
and chiffon. 1t appears to be some
thing between pannier and redin-
cote style. Again the lightness and
suppleness of the fabrics make pos
sible the mixed design. 1t is not so
beautiful as the coat but has many
interesting features, like the queer
shaped sleeves and pointed collar and
the long lines of button ornaments.

How Youthful Preacher Won His
Congregation.
Turned Effort to Disconcert Him into
Advantage and Delivered Sermon
as He Construed Wishes Of
His Hearers.

Ministers may come and go, but
we go on forevef," was the unex
pressed opinion of small, rather ir-
religious western town. What the
people of that community wanted
was preacher man who could
talk
Numerous clergymen attempted to
fill the bill but one by one had de-
parted, never to be heard from again
Finally one young man burning with
zeal and enthusiasm and just out of
the theological school applied for the
place.
The townsmen looked him over
dispassionately, then told him calmly
that the next day being Sunday he
could preach in their church and the
kind of sermon and the way ne deliv-
cred it would decide his fate. Ac-
cordingly every one turned out and
went to church on Sunday. The as
piring minister arose in the pulpit
| my dear people," he said, Il have

| So | am going to let you select the
subject of my sermon. Write on
slip of paper whatever you wish me
to talk on and lay it on the pulpit
He then bowed his head in silent
prayer while self-constituted com
mittee formed In the vestibule to de-
ternine the nature Of the deciding
sermon. After some deliberation one
of them walked up to- the pulpit and
placed thereon a folded piece OF pa
per. Ill-concealed grins might have
been noted on the faces of many.
The young minister looked first on
one side of the sheet of paper and
then on the other A CLEAN came

White Sox May Trade
Harry Lord to Yanks:
Big Deal Hangs Fire

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-In story
" which came from Chicago it
is rumored that Harry Lord,
of the White Sox, will be traded
to the Highlanders at the American
league meeting which will be held
here next week.
The Chicago story says Comis-
key would take a pitcher, Caldwell
preferred: an outfelder and a
youngster for Lord. The outf1elder
mentioned is thought to be Roy
Hartzell, while little Jackie Martin
may be the young player thrown
into the deal to close the bargain.
If such a deal were made by
President Farrell and Frank
Chance. it would be a ten strike for
the Highlanders, and the probable
ity that it will go through is
stronger than many persons may
be inclined to believe. Lord Is one
of the greatest third basemen in
the game, a hard hitter and a great
base runner.

most of the times he digs a long

he may not, hit the stuff that shines.
The Cleveland club has been pros
pecting ON an extraordinary scale
for the last few years for diamond
sparlllers. Taking haphazard
guess, in the last half-dozen years
almost 500 players have been in the
clutch of the Nap officials.
OF about eighteen real recruits
who We're or trial at Mobile last
spring, only five have remained for
longer trial That number in
cludes Peckinpaugh, Baskette,
Steen, Ryan and O'Neill. Possibly
O'Neill might be eliminated from
that number. He had secured a
trial in the fall of 1911 and had
been pronounced as fine prospect.
It's no deep, dark, hidden secret
that the Cleveland club has inten-
lions to dispose of Peckinpaugh
if a suitable price car be procured.
That Will reduce the number of
recruits who survived the elimina-
ton process to four.
SOME folks have referred to base
ball as being one of the greatest
gambling propositions in the world.
Perhaps it is. After scanning the
squads who have been tried. and
noting those who have made good,
one isn't surprised to note that most
men intimately connected with
baseball are constantly skeptical.
Just Il Of those b-awny men
who We're called in the spring to
give Cleveland a pennant winner

ers Knapp, SWindell, George. Bill"
James, DeMott, Schweitzer and
Cook; Catchers Livingston. Easter

Talbot; Iniielders Bronkie, STAINS

OutfieIders Butcher and Hendrix.

Among those who came and pass

Johnston, Baker. Kibble. Nash;
Pitchers Lefty" James, Fred Wal
