KEEPING THE GLOVES CLEAN
One Woman's Simple. Continuance
That May Be Recommended as
Most Useful.

Most women are using their furs
now, and since white gloves are so
popular this year it has become
problem to keep the gloves clean.
A young woman who is well sup
piled with many practical accessories
to dress seems to have solved this
puzzle.
She displayed a simple contrivance
made of fancy silk.
The silk was sewed together to
form a separate lining and made q
trif1e smaller than the regular lining,
with a casing at each end through
which was run elastic drawn up to
hold the lining tight about the wrists.
Use some material that launders
well and often. White silk doesn't.
The lining may have to be washed two
or three times a week. 1t is much
easier to wash the lining than to clean
the gloves.

IN THE BoUDOIR FURNISHING
Wastebasket, Simple or Elaborate, ls
Something That Must Be Given
Consideration.

The boudoir wastebasket is dainty
thing, and not so impracticable as one
would think it upon first glance. 1t
may be very simple or it may be very
elaborate, according to the time and
material which you have to give to it.
An ordinary wire basket, such as is
used in Offices, of the smallest size, is
best for the purpose. but wicker one
may be used if you already have one
on hand. Cover, the outside of the
basket with silk that in color har-
monies with the boudoir or bed
room for which, is intended. From
two to three widths of material may
be needed for, this silk covering, de-
pending, of course, upon the width
of the material and the circumference
of the wastebasket. One way of ad-
justing the silk cover to the basket
is to run a gathering thread along the
bottom edge CATER having scanned
the widths of the two narrow ends of
the whole together) of the silk, and
pull the thread tight until a sort of
bag is formed. Place the basket in
this bag, fattening the little bunch
of gathers out so that the basket will
stand fiat upon the floor without wab-
bling. Turn down the raw edge of the
upper part of the material so that it
forms an inch and half ruffle head
ing, and proceed to gather it close to
the basket. When this has been done
an inch and half or two-inch ribbon
band should be tied about the top over
the shirring thread and about the bot
tom of the basket from two to three
inches from the base, each band end

STRAIGHT LINES LIKED
SEASONS STYLES MEET WITH
GENERAL APPRECIATION
Few Women on Whom They Do Not
Look Especially WeIl-Afternoon
Frock illustrated Is Good
Example to Note.

Quite the incest thing about this sea-
sons dresses is that they look we'll on
most of us. You may have felt posi-
tive the new frocks would never suit
your own particular style, but as soon
as you tried on few in the shops you
knew you had seldom seen yourself as
becomingly gowned.
After the trying completely CT re-
cent draped designs that were really
suited to so few figures, the grace and
dignity of the new straight lines come
as a blessing. Then, too, with fuller
skirts it is relief to feel able to ne
gotiate lifesized steps. We need no
longer give an imitation of musical
comedy chorus of Japanese geisha
girls with their hobbled. mincing steps.
Most stylish and practical is the
pretty afternoon frock shown in the
accompanying cut. 1t is fashioned in
mulberry broadcloth, with band trim
mings of skunk.
The loose, skirtlike blouse is held to
the figure only along the cording that
describes a raglan sleeve line. It's fur
bordered hem hangs unconfined over a
hip girdle of the dress material. The

practical recommendations. The busis
ness of this administration is to abol.
ish all that are useless"
He says he has not been In Office
dong enough to specify in detail just
what agencies of government should
be discontinued, bus recommends re-
trenchment and consolidation, preserv-
ing the vital features of governmental
control. The governor takes a rap at
too hasty and too much legislation.
"This legislature can render the peo-
pie a service by removing from the
statute books a large number of the
laws that are useless because public
opinion does not support Them says
the governor people wish to be
helped rather than hampered by gov
eminent, and government will render
them the best service when it confines
its activities to those things for which
government was created. In the past
ten years this state has had a national
reputation for so-called progressive
Legislation. Business men declare that
we have been fighting business. The
results of the last election clearly in
dicate that the people have reversed
their policy in this respect and they
now demand a government that will
encourage rather than hamper the de-
velopment of industry.
The governor disposes of the legisla-
tive reference library in one para
graph, asking that it be abolished and
the books and documents turned over
to the state law library. He says that
a legislative reference bureau like
Wisconsin's has exercised an undue
influence on legislation" and has
greatly impaired legislative efficiency
and individual judgment.
He asks for the abolition Of the
boards of regents of the university
and normal schools and the creation
of central board of education of 13
members, II of whom shall be appoint
ed by the governor. He demands
that the country schools be given
greater support and that county train
ing schools should be more rapidly de-
veloped.

ing in a bow, one right above the 9TH
er. A more elaborate basket can be
made by covering the whole with
metal lace or gold net 1t is possible
to obtain somewhat the same effect by
stretching a piece of old lace curtain
on an improvised frame of some sort,
gliding it very lightly with gold paint
then removing it and applying it to the
basket.
The boudoir baskets are sometimes
lined with silk, as well as having an
outside covering of it. If such lining
is placed in the basket it should Do
fastened only with large basting
stitches, so that it can readily be re-
moved and washed when soiled.
The silk wastebasket makes
charming and imposing gift for the
holidays, and one which is not so ex-
pensive as its impression is favorable

LEGISLATURE OF
WISCONSIN OPENS
Many Familiar Faces Missing
When Both Houses Convene.
REPUBLICANS HAVE MAJORITY
State Farmers Constitute at Least
One-Third of the Members of
the 1915 Assembly-No
Civil War Veterans.

Madison.-When both houses of the
legislature convened many familiar
faces were missing. The last election
depleted the ranks of those who had
served in many previous sessions and
sent new members to take their places.
Numerically the Republicans have the
same majority as in previous sessions,
but there are some who predict that
a new alignment of the Progressives
Of all parties may be possible in the
house, which may possibly control leg
islation. The new senate contained
q Republicans, IL Democrats and one
Social-Democrat The new assembly
is composed of GA Republicans, %
Democrats and eight Social-Democrats
The majority of members of the as
sembly are new men. Those who
served in the last session whose names
Teappeared on the roll were: H. M.
Laursen, Shell Lake; T. A. Stewart,
Verona; Charles LentZ, Mayville;
Ray j. Nye, Superior; Christian Pick
art, Malone; S. A. SCHNEIDER, New

kee; Rev. A. E. Frederick, Kendall;
Axel Johnson, Turtle Lake; August
Heden, Ogema; J. B. Jensen, Cazeno-
via, and Carl Hansen, Manitowoc.
Among others, who did not serve in
the last session, but who attracted
public attention by their services in
previous sessions, are: A. V. Wells,
Livingston; Harry ]. Mortenson, New

Farmers, active and retired, consti-
tute at least one-third Of the members
of the 1915 assembly, while lawyers,
as usual. will be the strongest class
in the senate. For years it has been

Two After Fair BOARD Positions.


According to members of the state
fair board seen, two candidates are
known to be out after President
o. G. Remey's place. They are
named as A. w. Wilkinson, banker
and business man of Bayfield, and
prominent in northern Wisconsin de-
velopment work, and State Senator c..
H. Everett of Racine, editor of the
Wisconsin Agriculturist.
Oliver E. Remey, Milwaukee news
paper man, is a candidate for the sec
retaryship of the state fair board. The
election will take place February 2.
If elected, Mr.. Remey will succeed j.
G. Mackenzie, present secretary and
incumbent for the last four years.
Secretary Mackenzie will seek re-
election. These are the only two, can
didacies announced for the position.
Il am not going to make personal
fight between Mr.. Mackenzie and my
SELF" said Mr.. Remey. If the board
wants me l will be glad to take the
office. There will be no politics in
the election, however"
That an attempt will be made to
have the new legislature change the
nature of the $225,O00 state fair ap-
preparation which is now tied up, is
the statement of Thomas SAKE, a
board member
The amount was appropriated sew
eral years ago and is to be used for
new buildings, but the string attached
has made it impossible to reach the
money.
Milwaukee county's failure to buy a
piece of land to add to the present
area of the fair grounds is the
String" and unless the legislature
takes new action the money will be
tied up Indefinitely.
The county board has refused to
purchase the land.
Another thing which is worrying
the board is the lack of funds with
which to start the fair
eve have debts of $4,000 which
must : paid and will receive but $15.-
900 from the state" said Mr.. SAKE.
THAT means that only $4,000 will be
available for the 1915 fair"

State Bank Report Issued.

State Bank Commissioner A. E.
Kuolt submitted the annual re-
port of his department to the gov
ernor The compilation of resources
and liabilities of state banks and trust
companies and building and loan as
sociations are based on the last call
for statements, October 81, 1914 The
compilation shows the financial con-
dition of $50 state banks, three mu-
tual savings banks, IA trust COM
panies and 16 building and loan as
sociations
The state banks and trust COM
panies represent an aggregate capital
investment of $21,819,950. This was
a gain for 1914 in capital invested of
$656,000. The total resources OF
these banks was $239,561,73 en- in
crease of $S,4S7,963 during the last
year.
The report shows that the general
condition of the state banks of Wis.
consin is good.
The commissioner says that not
withstanding the European war the
banks during the latter half of the
year showed an increase in resources
of $S,487,94 an increase in capital
investment of $556,2e0, and an in
crease in deposits OF $6,696,715. The
commissioner says that he hopes
change will be made in the law doing
away with the possibility of incorpor-
ating unnecessary and obviously I'M
safe banks. and that the board of re-
view of his decisions may be made
elective instead of fixed by statute.

Interest in Long Tunic.

Although many dress skirts are III
circular cut, this is rarely the case
with velvet dresses, as the long tunlc
is especially good in velvet. These long
overskirts, as they may be called, re-
quire weight in the cloth to make them
hang gracefully, and are, therefore, an
attractive style for velvet. Circular
skirts are very apt to hang uneYeny
in velvet, as the weight Of the clotn
drags down the skirt at the sides.

1880 Tons of Cheese Made in State

l(,oOU OnS OF NneeSe m9ue IN otdIG.
More than 100000 pounds of
American cheese was manufactured in
Wisconsin in 1914. for which farmers
were paid more than 100000.
Last year was an eventful one in
the cheese industry. During the first
four months prices paid on the She
boygan and Plymouth dairy boards,
by far the largest in the country,
ranged from Is to 1875 cents pound.
The balance of the year the average
prices each month ranged from 1875
cents to Il cents, the average price
for the year for all styles of Ameri-
man cheese was 15A cents, or three
quarter cents more than the average
in 1913
There was heavy production
throughout the season and at the close
Of the year it is believed most of the
warehouses are overstocked, contrary
to expectations before the European
war broke out, because of curtailed
consumption In the southern states,
caused by stringency in the money
market as a result of the failure TO
move the cotton crop.
