FOLLOW FASHION OF ELDERS
Costumes for Small Girls Are More or
Less a Copy of Those Worn by
the GroWnups.

Faithful to tradition, the fashions of
the nursery and school room are fol-
lowing those of the drawing room, and
girls from seven to seventeen are wear
ing long-waisted dresses with frills or
plaits to give the basque or tunic eff
feet.
A very soft shade of red, like the
wild rose, is popular for their tailor
made suits, and with it is worn black
headgear in the form of pliable velvet
felt or chenille, black shoes and stock
ings and black gloves.
Military overcoats are designed for
little boys and girls, as well as for
senior wearers. The collars and belts
are distinctive characteristics of the
models and on the collars are emblems
of gilt or silver braid.
When the Russian inspiration is not
pressed unduly it is accountable for
some very handsome effects in braid
ing and finger-width fur trimmings
upon open-air suits, and for particu-
larry becoming collar bands, short and
upright, or a roll of fur that clings
closely round the neck. Pure colors
are accepted now. 1t would seem
that everything is to be simple. So
we see a green that is the usually ac-
cepted dye, not olive, lime or pastel,
but just pure green, and brown as
honest. Both are called Russian, and
the brown is the accepted tint of the
leather that smells SO sweet.

Emerging From the Dark.

Life, beautiful, beckoning, encourag.
ing, dances in merriment as the spring
breezes blow. 1t has found loneliness,
and fragrance as well, in the grim
black ground. 1t needed the dark,
cold winter to rest in. The cold has
not killed the warming, fertilizing min
istering power of soil. On the con.
trary, the winter has been one Of its
good agents, it has not despoiled the
earth, only rested it for coming bene-
factions. and new labors.

FIRST CONVENTION OF

Since the national Safety First
convention, held in Philadelphia last
fall Oklahoma is the first state to
perfect a complete state organization
and Guthrie is the first city to hold a
meeting under that organization. In
fact this is the first convention Of the
kind in the entire nation.
Heretofore the movement has been
confined to a few of the more progress
sive corporations which were trying
to reduce the injuries among their eX-
pert employees. II was a selfish move
ment, as these corporations claim that
the loss of an expert, trained, efficient
workman is a serious detriment to
their perfectly organized plant Then
some of the railroads began the work
of analyzing the long lists of accidents,
which were increasing in number and

data as to how the state was forced
to get into the safety First game.

HARRIS THINKS

Washington, d. c. Dec. Thames
A. Harris of Wagner Okla, republ-
can national committeeman from that
state, expressed the opinion last night
that the Chicago convention would
nominate a candidate for president
who would be satisfactory to the rank
and file of the progressive party,
whom, he said, had practically all re-
turned to the republican organizations
A conference was held by Mr. Harris
and Chairman Hilles of the republican
national committee, at which Okla
homa conditions and expectations were
discussed.
Since the supreme court held the
Oklahoma grandfather law to be un-
constitutional, the republican organiza-
ton hopes to make gain of two and
possibly three congressional districts,
notably the Tulsa, the Muskogee and
probably the Oklahoma City district.
The Alva district is now safely re
publican. Members of the national
committee were interested in the
claims being put forward by the state
republican leaders that they had a
good opportunity to turn the demo-
cratic tide to the republican column
next year. A tabu.lted statement eX-
hibited by National Committeeman
Harris showed that the democratic
plurality last year was 400, as
against $4,000 three years ago. Mr..
Harris said last night that the ma
tional organization would give the
state committee considerable aid next
