FROM SCRAPS OF CRET0NNE

After boarding up scraps of Gre

emptied her patch bag one day and
from the oddly shaped pieces Of Gre

A large roll of rose-sprigged French
cretonne furnished material enough to

To successfully accomplish this,

the box and wide enough to cover the

MAY BE CURLED AT HOME
Not Necessary to Send Plumes to Pro-
fessionai Cleaners When They
Become BedraggIed.

The present fashionable ostrich
feather, although it Is not SO tightly
curled as the old fashioned plume,
looks even more bedraggled and for
lorn when it is out of curl than the
old one did. Yet fogs and mists or
rains are as frequent as ever, and os-
trich feathers are now worn at all
times of the day and night, regardless
of the weather Plumetis feathers
were put forward to fill the role of
feather which moisture would not
change, but they do not take the place
Of the regulation ostrich feather.
There is only one thing to do If
you wear ostrich feathers, and that Is
to learn how to curl them. 1t is as
good as impossible to send feather
to the professional cleaner to be
curled every time there is summer
shower
When the moist hat with feather
trimming is removed put it, If pos
sible, near a fire. Heat often restores
good deal of the lost curl. When
this is not possible let the feather
dry thoroughly and then recurl it with
nail file, the blunt edge Of knife
or some other steel or silver blade
which is not sharp.
Work with one or two of the fronds
of the feather at time. Catch them
between the thumb and the blade near
the stem Of the feather and slowly
and firmly draw the thumb and the
blade along the fronds to the edge.
If necesf airy so over some of the feath-
ers twice.
1t is surprising how rapidly this
curling can be done; and If it is care
fully done after little practice the
feather will look quite as we'll as If
it had been curled by professional.

The city of Marion, which went

the special election held there Monday.
Marion was dry under the county op-

Proctor law which eliminated the
county unit and now goes dry again by
her own vote after a wet experience
of two wears. 1t would seem that in
some sections of the state there is not

public opinion. AS the News has mad
occasion TO remark frequently, the
LIQUOR business in Indiana is on proba
ton, and its future depends altogether
upon the conduct of those who con

The election in Marion. however, Is
not the only straw that indicates The
trend of the current. Wabash. Rush

cretion in placing legal publications is
a progressive measure. 1t is one OF
the most sensible acts of the legis-
lature in reference TO public printing
and marks a departure from the ira
ditional theory that party papers must
receive benefits irrespective of cir
culation. For many years the statutes
arbitrarily directed the printing of
county and township notices in weekly
papers with the result that readers of
daily papers failed TO see important
information respecting matters in
which they were vitality interested.
Latterly most publications have been
legalized in daily papers and the new
law which gives to the proper officials
the privilege of placing notices, re
ports, etc, in at least one paper which
their judgment suggests removes all
other barrier TO full and free publicity
The intent of printing township and
county notices in newspapers is TO
give them the widest publicity pos

BULLY FOR WILSON.
Lafayette Courier.)

Bully for President Wilson! His
first proclamation today was to the eff
feet that he would see no seek
ers except those whom he 'nv.,ed to
see him. This is good; keep the pie
brigade back of the ropes. President
Wilson we'll deserves the support of
the nation in this determination. The
nation rather than his party is MIR.
Wilson's best friend in this issue.
The eyes of hungry partisans CLEAN
balefully at him through every open
ing of access. Beyond doubt the DEM
orcratic organization is out for the
spoils, and Mr.. Wilson deserves all
possible support in standing off his al
legged supporters. This hunger for pie
on the part of democrats is unmistak-
able, even undenied. 1t has been con-
tinually in evidence ever since cleo
ton. Even here in Lafayette, at the
Jackson club dinner in December, no
speaker was more vehement and vo-
ciferous than the one who upheld the
! view that TO the victors belong the
spoils, and 70 sentiment was more ap-
plauded This was merely straw in
the wind; but from everywhere comes
| the same indications, President Wilson
| has a whole lot to contend against.
| Help to save him from his party.

PASTOR TELLS MEN

That Is If They Are Wearing Clean
Shirts, He Adds in
Sermon.

Pittsburg, Sept. II. 1.-Acting on
the belief that man can better
listen to the preaching Of the gospel
when he is cool and comfortable
than when he is Sweltering because
Of too much clothing, the Rev. D.
l.. Fisher, pastor of a Methodist
Episcopal church here, told the men
Of his congregation that they could
remove their coats, providing they
were wearing clean shirts.
When after waiting several min
utes only four coats came off, the
Rev. Fisher smiled and said that the
several hundred men present were
either perfectly comfortable as they
were dressed or else their shirtswere
not immaculate. For himself, the
preacher said he was sorry he could
not remove his coat, as he was far
rom feeling hot.
