The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1914-08-19

Mr.. Barber is one of the best known
lawyers in this part Of the state and
his service in both branches Of the
legislature and on the Republican state
committee has given him wide circle
of acquaintances throughout Vermont.
He was admitted to the Vermont bar
in October, 1898, and began practice
in Wilmington the following year,
coming to Brattleboro in 1896 Since
1905 he has been in partnership with
his brother, Frank Z. Barber, who was
admitted to practice in 1903.
II. q. Barber was state s attorney
for this county from 1895 to 1900, rep
resented Brattleboro in the legislature
in 1908 and was senator from the
southern district of this county in 1910.
Since 1905 he has been Windham coun-
tv member Of the Republican state
committee. Mr.. Barber has always
taken an active interest in politics and
has been closely associated with the
party of his choice since early man
hood. His legal training amply quail
ifies him for the position to which lie
aspires, and there is no doubt that
Windham county Republicans win sup
port him in the coming campaign.

President Names Attorney
General to Fill Supreme
Court Vacancy
T. w. GREGORY FOR
ATTORNEY GENERAL
Both Nominations Sent to the Senate
This Afternoon - Gregory Is Able
Lawyer Who Has Practiced in Austin,
Texas.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 19.-The pres

James p. McReynolds to be member
of the United States Supreme court; T..
w. Gregory of Austin, Texas, to be
attorney general Of the United States,

migration commissioner tor the port
of New York.
The elevation of Mr. MeReynolds to
the supreme bench Will mark the first
break in the President s official fam
lily in the year and half of its life.
There has been no doubt ever since
the death Of Justice Lurton that
Mr. McReynolds could have the place
on the bench if he wanted it. There
was a good deal of doubt, however,
that Mr.. McReynolds- would care to
give up the cabinet place and the
many plans he had mapped out for the
conduct of that office. 1t was only a
few days ago that he finally made up
his mind to leave the cabinet and ac-
cept the appointment.
Mr.. Gregory, the new attorney gen
eral, is 53 years old. He is supposed
to have had the strong backing of Col
f. NJ House, the President 5 friend
from Texas and New York
Mr.. Gregory was graduated from
Southwestern Presbyterian University
at CIarksville, Tenn, in 1888. He was
special student at the University OF
Virginia and took his degree of bach
elor of law at the University of Texas
He was admitted to the bar in Texas
in 1885 and has practised there ever
since, his home being in Austin.
Persons in Washington who have
been thrown into contact with Mr.
Gregory during his service here have
| been favorably impressed with hi:
ability and personality and his ap
| pointment undoubtedly will meet Will
the approval of official Washington.

CAY RIBBONS FIND FAVOR
AS TRIMMINGS FOR FALL

When you are at loss for a new form
Of trimming so TO the ribbon counters
OF the best shops and see what a host OF
ideas present themselves. Never have
ribbons displayed such beautiful color
tones, patterns and weaves.
Perhaps you are having difficulty with
an idea for that dress pattern Of black
satin or tafteta which you want to use
in the early fall. Such a dress might
COPY one Of the newest models which has
EIGHT fun skirt ruffies, alternating blue
ana magenta plaid ribbon rows with
those of black satin. The wide crush CIR
die which reaches 10 the bust and over
the hips Is made by joining the edges OF
three lengths Of the plaid ribbon. The
rolling collar and turn-back cuffs Of the
IonR-sieeyed black satin bodice are made
Of the plaid, and a fiaring neckpiece OF
white organdie relieves the dark costume
at the throat
Ribbon cannot be replaced by any other
material for the wide, fancy girdles which
sometimes form the only trimming OF q
costume A tilleui green broadcloth cape
costume has a stunning ribbon girdle dis
playing red velvet flowers on black
moire ground. Large warp printed figures
in bright coIors make the wide girdle rib
bons very handsome trimmings. A simple
navy blue gabardine street dress has
the hips Of its basque blouse confined
by a smart Roman plaid ribbon The
background Of this ribbon Is Indian ma

fashioned garnet, moss green and tango

orange Wide velvet stripes In peacock
blue edge each side Of the ribbon.
The use which you make Of ribbon in
an evening gown will prove Just how
clever a designer you really are, for
there are hundreds of ways in which IL
may be twisted and turned. The new
evening gowns of net, chiffon or crepe
show satin ribbon run through the hens
Of the skirts and tunics.
Bows and streamers showing flashes
Of color beneath soft fiounces of lace
and chiffon are very effective. When a
tulle bodice has a band Of pearl or jet
trimming extending around beneath the
arms this band is set on by a founda-
ton ribbon Of pink or blue. Chiffon rib
bon with large all-over designs in gold
tissue are dainty for use in catching
draperies Of gold-run shadow Iaces. This
ribbon comes in narrow widths to edge
light lace ruffies of evening fTocks. A
soft white satin ribbon which would
make a charming evening gown girdle
has a wide turquoise blue stripe through
the center. On each side of the stripe
there are small pompadour designs show
ing purple orchids. Other ribbons in this
same design are edged by ribbons show
ing a tiny rose or chrysanthemum.
Instead of black lacquered ribbon,
white ribbon Of the same sort will be
used on fall hats Moire and faille rib
bOns are among the new novelties, and
long streamers may hang from the back
Of the Directoire evening hats. A mar
row grosgrain ribbon placed around the
upper edge Of the hat crown and ending
In tiny bow at the front is always
smart and tailored in appearance Roman
striped ribbons for hats have lines on the
bias for the use Of crown coverings. Very
pretty vests for suits may be made from
the new ribbons, and the narrow widths

THE KITCHEN wACoNETTE.

One trip from the dining-room to the
kitchen ought to be enough TO clear any
table. You would think that the grocer
was very stupid II he brought every ar
ticIe Of your order to your back door
separately because he had no wagon, and
yet busy housewives continue to pace
hack and forth from the dining room to
the kitchen every day in the year for
three meals
The trouble is that a kitchen wagon
ette is something that cannot be bought
Il has to be homemade, and the chances
are that the housewife doesn't know how
70 handle a saw and a hammer. There
Is almost sure to be, some man in the
family who is a good craftsman or
handy man can be hired for an hour to
carry out this idea
The set of wheels are the most impor-
tant consideration. Wheels from . child's
express cart serve admirably and can be
bought at small expense. The wagon
itself should be high enough so that you
do not have TO stoop in putting things
on It. A large soap or other packing box
would answer for this. The wheels
should be securely fastened to the bot
tom of the box, and the wagon Is well
on toward completion. The box can be
so arranged that the open part is at one
side and q shelf can be put up ide-the
box Plane on any rough edges Of the
box and I'LL up any nailholes with putty
so as to have a fairly smooth surface
for your coat Of paint.
Any sort Of good hard inside paint win
answer the purpose, but the best possible
kind is enamel finish pearl gray paint
If the paint is Of good quality 1t will
withstand the most persistent washing.
II not it is q good idea to tack piece
Of table oilcloth over the top Of the
wagonette-
ways to use this little article Of home
made furniture suggest themselves at
once. After each meal the wagonette
can be wheeled in from the kitchen and
wheeled around the table as everything
that has to be put in the dining room
napkins, peppers and salts, etc--are re-
moved. Then the wagonette can be
wheeled away with these Then every
piece Of soiled china can be piled on it.
The table can be crumbed and the cloth
done for the time being. Now the wagon
cite can be taken to the kitchen and the
dishes can be placed directly from 1t
into the dishpan as they are needed.
They can be rinsed and drained at the
side of the sink. the wagonette can be
washed OF and it is ready to receive the
dishes when they are dry. Then, presto!
the wagonette can be wheeled to the
cupboard and the dishes are done. On
the little shelf Of the wagonette can be
kept various things needed in setting or
upsetting the table, such as the cloth
crumber, the salt dish from which to fill
the dining-room salts and the supply
pepper box.
1t is a good idea TO have a little ledge
around the edge Of the wagonette so that
the dishes cannot possibly slip on But
whether or not Won have fhesa devices
will depend on whether your handy
man" knows how to construct them
Frances Marshall will be glad to an
swer in this column any questions con-
cerning household subjects.
