The tango is mole than dance it is an episode both in the social and in the fashion world. Except in the East. when has dance ever de- veloped a fashion? Who ever heard of waltz g VII or tWo-ste7 tur- ban? To be sure, there is the min uet dress but il is gown of the period not of the dance, modern reproduction of the stately cos tune of ceremony worn al the time this dance vas first introduced.
 The tang, on the other hand, has developed a new style of costume-a style in direct opposition to the pre- vaiIiug mode. and. moreover. style that is beginning 10 exert reyolu- tionary influence on the modes,
 Tango Widens Skirt
 The first debt f gratitude the devotees of the fashion world owe to the tango is the additional width in the skirts. For the past two years the designers have been en- deavoring by pleals and drapery 10 let in a little more fitness. but enter the tango. and presto chanse-tle wider skirt is demanded. The dance has accomplished what even the makers of the modes were unable tO do. Because it was impossible to execute many of the more intricate steps in the restricted skirts of yes terday, the tango enthusiasts clam ored for wider skirts
 Even in their zeal, however, they insisted upon the fitness being let in with stealth The additional fitness must be there for a long glide or jump but it must not be in evidence when the wearer is at rest
 T. produce fitness and yet not have it appear, requires the hand of an artist, and the fashion magicians have been compelled to resort to all sorts of subterfuges. In their search ing they hit upon the tr0useTettes. II may have been a close study of the East, rather than the tango, that inspired the trouserettes, but it was surely the tango that has brought about their acceptance. They solved the problem for the tango dancer in an ideal manner; they are Volumln- ous when the wearer is in action and slinky when the body is in a state of rest
 While the idea of trousers may seem startling at first, they are really modest garments for they conceal the legs, and even the ankles, in way that they have not been en- veloped for years, mt since those good old days when pantelettes made the hoop skirts modest.
 Tango "Trouserettes."
 The tango trouserettes are delight fully luxurious garments. made of chiffon and trimmed with lace. Some are so full that they appear at first glance to be skirt. IL is not until the wearer is dancing that one is aware of the division, and the fact that the fitness is confined around each ankle.
 There are several varieties, some hanging from the shoulders, others falling from the Waistline, and still others that are attached just above the knee to a garter
 Over these trouserettes the skirt may be draped in almost any desired style. For tangoing, the rounded fronts have been found successful, more so than the back slashing though both are often seen. When the side slashing is selected, both sides are generally slit, and volants of lace are inset in the openings.
 It is not only that these simulated lace petite ats are more conserva- tive, but they are more attractive, and the woman who realizes the

OILCUOTH APRONS.

One of the most serviceable of aprons for the housekeeper is made
 soft olcloth. The pattern for the apron should be plain and it should come well up on the bust, and be vide enough to cover the skirt, nearly meeting in the back. To go with it there should be oversleeves, coming we'll up above the elbows; or, if pre- ferred, they may be shorter

 LITTLE HELPS
 On taking cakes baked in a tin out 9f ihc oven, stand he tin on Wc. cloth for few minutes. The cakes can then be turned out without the aid of knife and will not stick to the tin, as frequently happens other wise.
 Very often a screw-hole gets worn so that the screw will not stay in. To remedy this, cut some narr7w strips of cork and fill up the hole complete ly, and then force the screw in. This will prove just as tight as if driven | into new hole.
 If tin of paint has to be left open stir it thoroughly, in order to dissolve all the cil; then fill up with cold water. When the paint is needed for use pour of the water and the paint will be found as fresh as when open ed.

BLIND TENNESSEAN
DIES HON0RED
IN LONDON

A blind Tenuessesn died in London
June 30 who was honored with knight
hood by Queen Victoria. He was Sir
Joseph Francis Campbell, who away
| back in the 40's was born on little
farm about four miles south Of Win
chester in Franklin county. Col. A.
NJ. Shook, of Tracy City, a very dis
tinguished resident of that place him
self, who has done a great deal for
Tracy City, in as much as he is the
founder of Shook School, the fine
school at Tracy, conducted in a beau
tiful and commodious building, con-
tributed recently the following article
to the press regarding this ex-Tennes-
sean who rose from poorest conditions
to high distinction and worth, regard
less Of physical disabilities:
''Sir Francis Joseph Campbell, who
died in London yesterday, was born in
the Eleventh Civil District Of Frank
lin County, Tenn, about four miles
south of Winchester. His father, the
Rev. James Campbell, was Cumber
land Presbyterian preacher and owned
a little farm in franklin County,
where six children we're born. four
boys and two girls. The other three
boys and one sister died of typhoid fe-
yer in the early SOS. The other sister
married blind music teacher, Prof.
Dewitt, of Nashville. Joe. Campbell.
(Sir Francis) had the misfortune when
a small boy TO stick .t6orn in one
eye. From effect of this wound he
lost both eyes. The family was very
poor and Joe was taken to school by
his brother and sisters, SO they could
take care of him while the mother did
the work at home.
My father, young man at that
time, was teaching the public school
in that civil district. He cut the al
phabet on poplar shingle and Joe
learned his lessons by running his
fingers over the rough alphabet that
had been cut on the shingle. A few
years later my grandfather, who was
the Sheriff of Franklin county at that
time. carried this blind boy behind
him on his horse to Nashville and put
him in the blind school. Staying all
night the first night at the home of
Isham G. Harris father, who then
lived between Tullahoma and Hurri-
cane Springs.
young Campbell had never heard
a musical instrument until he went to
Nashville. His delight knew no
bounds when he heard the first piano,
some distance from the school. He
was allowed to go to the house and
soon learned to play by ear.
He went from Nashville to Boston,
taught in the blind schools there and
then went to London and organized
and had charge of the blind schools in
London, and was knighted by Queen
Vict oria. +"
