SETTER HOUSING.

The idea Of better housing for
the poor must be made practical,
and then it Gun be made very
easy to conform to the law. But
1t must We made practical at all
times and not cbimerical. The
idea Of the use Of public money
for building better homes for the
poor is not wise or practical. l
desire to impress upon you that
this can be done BY men who are
willing to reap a good, sound in
terest, but who at the same time
will allow the tenant to reap a
substantial reward in regard to
good hygiene.
The laws regulating the build
ing Of houses are becoming bet
ter and are in harmony with hui
man nature. but the chief diff
Guilty as you will now find it is
with the people themselves. One
OF the greatest steps toward
progress that can be made is the
education both Of the landlord
and the tenant to work not in
harmony with themselves, but
with the law.-William Howard
Taft In Address Before National
Housing Association.

ward the front.
In such gown as this its main at.
traction lies in the draping. In all
modes, whether straight or draper, the
flow of line" Is painstakingly pre-
served, so that, however complex or
intricate design may be, 1t retains
an appearance Of simplicity. Exagger.
atoms Of any sort are entirely taboo
Novelty is not only allowed, but de-
manded, but the line between it and
eccentricity Of effect is as sharply
drawn as the modes of a far-gone
period from the present Graceful
touches, such as the little fur cravat
In this model, make for much Of the
success in all the new designs, and
dressmakers are kept busy devising
quips and turns of an exploited idea,
for while the similarity Of many Of
the new features is undeniable, the
difference is just as distinctive. Too
much care cannot be exercised in
working out these details, for so I'm
portant are they that any slightest
change modifies the effect.-Washing

BUTTONS ARE OF ALL KINDS
Manufacturers Have Put Forth Some
Really Wonderful Designs and
CoIorines.

The distinguishing characteristic OF
the new buttons Is the pronounced
representation given to odd shapes
many of which are evidently of Cubist
inspiration.
Among the most striking novelties
are the crystals with Mosaic designs
In Chinese colorings. These unusual
effects are accomplished by means of
carving and by painting the designs
underneath the crystal.
Many dainty floral designs, accom-.
plished in like manner, are shown,
some of which are tersely given the
title hot house" buttons.
Chinese novelties in colorings typi.
cal of Chinese embroideries are the
acme OF smartness. In many of the
best of these novelties rich burnt or.
ange tones predominant. Some of
them resemble Chinese lanterns
BLACK glass or crystal is much favored
as the background for these brilliant
Chinese effects.
The Chinese colcrings are even
more strikingly emphasized In the
semi-ball buttons, some of which are
half one color and half another; while
others are divided into as many as
four sections, each of which is in a
different color.
among the extremely new effects
are the fruit buttons In realistic
shapes and coloringa

NEW USES FOR FILET LACE
Pretty Material Is Being Employed for
Practically All Possible
Purposes.

New uses are being found for fine
filet lace. Last year pincushions, caps,
pillow cases, work bags were made of
1t, and now comes a list of other ways
in which to utilize this smart looking
though inexpensive material.
Some of the prettiest things com.
bine the imitation lace and the narrow
real lace edge. Baby spreads Of this
square motif material may be finished
with a firm crochet edge and lined
with colored or white crepe de chine
or soft silk The finest Of these fllet
squares, buttonholed on sheer hand
kerchief linen, make charming cushion
tops and nightgown cases. In this ma
terial, really meant for curtaining, the
best designs are the classic.
Boulder caps and little morning
Jackets are made of soft filet lace and
lined with pale chiffon and trimmed a
bit with clusters Of chiffon roses.
One of the novel ways in which to
use these small motifs is to apply
them to paper or tin talcum powder
boxes, first pasting on layer of flow
cred ribbon or colored silk. A finish
of narrow gold braid or tiny ribbon
fringe around the top adds decidedly
to the effect.
Shades for boudoir lights or candles
are also made of these lace squares
put together with a narrow beading
and finished with linen fringe.

strap. Then I get four small toys and
tie each one round the middle with q
10-inch long strip Of narrow colored
ribbon.
The other end Of each ribbon is
passed through one Of the double Sits
in the strap, so that the toys dangle
in front Of baby, ready for him to play
with while he is out.
II the ribbons are secured with a
wee bow the playthings can be united
and fresh ones substituted at will, and
half dozen extra toys, each one fitted
with a ribbon string, might accom-
pany the strap.
The same idea can be satisfactorily
carried out for baby's cradle by sub
shutting a length Of pink or blue rib
bon for the strap, and getting woody
toys to dangle from blue baby rib
bon strings within reach Of the tiny
fingers, q small wooden rattle, very
bright-hued ball, fluffy rabbit, and
a bone ring for biting, the narrow rib
bons from which thc toys are suspend
ed being sewn, at short distances
apart, onto the wider ribbon, which
must be provided with long enough
ends to allow of their being tied to
either side Of the cradle.-Exchange

MAUvE WITH CHIFFON.
CALLING COSTUME THAT Is IN
HEIGHT OF FASHION.
Most Effective Of the Combinations 50
Popular This season-EnectIve
Touches Give Distinction %
tho Model Sketehed.

Satins Of subdued luster with fur to
give them tho appearance Of weight
and warmth, and lace or chiffon to
soften the effect, are as satisfactory
for calling costumes as anything seen
in the winter collection, and the
sketch offers an effective suggestion.
In the original, two shades Of mauve
are used with chiffon in . deeper
shade than the charmeuse. The
charmeuse skirt is gathered slightly
at the waist and then draped attrac-
lively Just above the knees in front by
means Of what Is known as lifted
drapery." In the blouse the char.
meuse Is only used in fiveinch band
running about the lower part Of the
white net foundation just over the
belt. This is yelled by the overblouse
Of chiffon, which is simply made with
three-quarter-length kimono sleeves
and a roundabout neck filed in by the
net yoke Of the foundation.
The collar Is finished with plated
rufling of chiffon and a narrow cravat
Of ermine is knotted closely In front.
Bands of ermine trim the sleeve ends,
and a close row Of small steel ball but.
tons trims the left side of the blouse.
A girdle Of black chiffon Is crushed
about the waist, and the sash ends are
tied in a bow at the hem Of the tunic
In back.
The tunic Is gathered at the waist
and at the lower edge and given a
heading Of itself as a finish. Another

DIED

Many local people who have been
stirred with the romance of that now
almost extinct body Of American pros
pectors, men who with burro, bacon
and pick spent lonely months, year
after year, following the lure Of gold
among California and Colorado noun
tain did not know that survivor of the
type was living among them He cross
ed the divide last Thursday. William
Robinson born January 10, 1929, came
to Manitowoc in 1849. He went to the
front with Co. Fl q the 9th Wisconsin
and served until severely wounded at
Spanish Fort, Alabama in 1865, near
the close Of the war. Ia 1879 he went
west in the "Pike's Peak rush" and
did not return until years ago, at the
age OF 7S. He has since resided with
his daughter, Mrs John Spencer in
this city. Besides the daughter he is
survived by five sons, three of whom,
Thomas, John aud Peter live here.
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon
from Mrs. Spencer's home to Ever
green.

Clarence Klocksin, president of the
Lake Shore was in the city Sunday
looking over the local situation. He
said that Manager Herzog of the locals
is esteemed as a baseball man in all
the other league cities and is iii high
favor among the league officials.
Whispers OF local dissatisfaction have
reached him. 1t seems that some fans
have been objecting to subscriptions il
any one man Is to profit by the seasons
patronage. A scheme TO divide the
playing and financial managements and
TO put Mr.. Herzog in charge of the
former has been suggested and may be
adopted. This would allay any ill-iael
ing that may have been engendered.
If Thorval Torrison can be prevailed
upon to take up the financial end an
ideal man tor the part will have been
secured. Mr.. Klocksin says that fran
chises are subject to removal by the
league at will and some agreement
will have to be reached In order to re-
tain one place in the circuit.
