backward, saw a chair and. as a matter
of habit, sat down. His standing and his
sitting in the manner here related are
only interesting because Isaac Stephen

walking around. Manifestly his un-
\usuality is also elsewhere than in his

wicker remarks under his breath to the
interviewer.
Roughly sketched, Senator Stephenson
is a plain, friendly person, tall, and of
slender structure, with blue eyes and an
abundance of hair. Facially, but not
otherwise physically, he bears some re-

''Those days are still clear in your

was two years and ten months old, -
Senator Stephenson answered. That Is
more than eighty-two years ago. In

T1HE flowers and scrolls are to be
worked solidly, the leaves
solidly or as eyelets. The
stems are to be outlined. The dots
within the scrolls are for punched
work.
When making solid embroidery,
first pad the stamped figures by darn
ing backward and forward lengthwise,
then cover closely with over and over
stitches worked in the opposite direc-
tion from the padding.
To make the leaves as eyelets,
run a thread around the stamped
figure, cut slight slit lengthwise and
then crosswise, push back the material
and work closely over and over. Out
line the stems by taking short stitches,
keeping the needle toward the right
and working upward.

the disposal OF the $7400 compromise
money sent here by the Barbar As

against the company for the upkeep of

come up tor attention. Alderman sig
man and several others favor requir
ing the Central avenue paving com

paid there, since the city is to have
to care for the paving in the future
without any return.

at least to keep the city going until

will OF necessity have to undertake
the upkeep of Central avenue in all

to use the money from this source to
best advantage for operating the city
at this time would be but for the best
interests Of all concerned, and as the
burden Of the uplieep Of Central ay.
enue falls on the city anyhow, the city
should be permitted to profit tempo

THE long, protecting rain or shine"
coat, made to meet the exigencies
of travel or life in the out-ofdoors, is
cut on simple lines.
One of the most practical of these
coats is pictured here. 1t hangs
straight on the figure. The needed
fullness at the bust line is provided
for by two small plaits on each shout
der. This is taken up from the swell
of the bust down in a stitchedin plat
at each side of the front. the plaits
extending below the normal waist
line for at least six inches.
The coat is open at the throat but
without reyers. The neck is finished
with a small sailor collar and the
sleeves with turnback cuffs. Bone
buttons are used for fastening and as
a decorative feature on the cuffs.
Coats OF this kind are made with
skirts TO match The latter, severely
plain and straight. are Worn with
blouses of thin wash silk, pongee or
sheer wash fabrics. These coats and
skirts require firmly woven rainproof
goods in quiet staple colors. Either
can be worn without the other, and
the coat is designed to do duty wher-
ever a separate coat is needed.
