LloydGeorge's wit on the platform
= we'll known, but here 10 one Of the
neatest retorts he ever made.
He was addressing . meeting In
South Wales. according to Pearson's
Weekly. when the chairman. thinking
to be witty at the chancellor's expense.
remarked to the audience that he was
. little disappointed in LloydGeorge's
appearance.
II had heard 60 much about Mr..
Lloyd-George," he said. that I nat
urally expected to meet big man in
every sense; but, as you can see for
yourselves, he is very small In stat
ure."
Many an orator would have been
grievously upset by such an unfortu-
nate beginning to the proceedings, but
not 30 Lloyd-George.
II am grieved to find" he said. with
mock seriousness, that your chairman
is disappointed in my size, but this is
owing to the way you have here Of
measuring a man. In North Wales we
measure a man from his chin up, but
you evidently measure him from his
chin down."
After that the chairman made NO
more personal remarks.
Speak but little and let that little
he the truth.

Now that Christmastime is near,
and decisions as to gifts must be
made, the consideration of comfort
will help in settling the distracted
mind of the Christmas shopper. The
gift that bears with it comfort as well
as remembrance is many times well
come.
A number of knitted and crocheted
novelties have been brought out for
the holidays. They are all intended
to fortify those who receive them
against the cold, and they include
items of apparel for ever, one. Since
It has become fashionable to occupy
all the time, otherwise unoccupied,
with knitting and crocheting, and all
sorts of needlework, the number of
comfortabl- little additions TO the
wardrobe has been increased by many
new things.
Among them are morning jackets.
such are also made of thin fabrics and
laces. These are crocheted OF light
zephyrs and adorned with ribbons.
There are many knitted vestees.
shaped like those shown in the pic
ture, which are machine made.

the bottom of the skirt toward the
back.
The waist line is defined by a mar
row belt of the material with overlap
ping tabs at the back fastened down
with small crochet buttons. The
sleeves are finished with a band and
tab, and the band edged with fur
which extends over the hand and
opens at the outer side. The standing
collar of velvet, edged with fur. is as
wide as 1t is possible to wear 1t.
The manufacturers of velvets and
other pile fabrics have been working
to the end of making them as light
in weight as it is possible to weave
them. After arriving at light weight
and suppleness they have created nov
elites by departing from plain sur
faces. These novelties eliminate the
need for trimmings or ornament to
a very great degree. But their rich
ness is matched by that of fur.
During the present season hand
some plaids have appeared in velvets,
presenting three colors sparingly used
on dark grounds, or two-toned checks.
These are made up with chiffon in the
bodices and very little ornament, the
fabric presenting variety enough with
out trimming.

LANSING NOTES

According to figures compiled by
Auditor General Fuller for Presiding
Judge West of the Michigan circuit

cults comprising twenty-four counties
where the salaries of the circuit
Judges exceeds the annual stipend OF
$4,000 paid by the state to each cir
cult judge.
Under the terms OF the act passed
at the last session of the legislature,
a circuit Judge who Is asked by Pre-
siding Judge West to hold court out
side his own district, is entitled to
additional compensation when the sal
airy is higher in the circuit where he
is temporarily holding court than 1t

Alger county pays $500 per year In
addition to the state salary OF $4,000.
Barage county pays an additional $500,
while the Bay county circuit judges
received $500 from the county In
addition to their regular state salary.
In Calhoun the county pays an addl-
tional $500, while. the increase In Chip
pewa amounts to $1,000.
Delta and Dickinson counties each

A novel pile fabric, of high luster
and great suppleness, appears in the
suit pictured here. II has made 1t pos
sible to vary the expression of the
mode in velvet and fur and has there
fore merited and received much con-
sideration. The surface is broken by
stripes or blocks or other forms, made
by the direction of the pile and not
by color contrasts or by shades of
one color. The management of the
surface in this way produces very ele-
CANT effects, and the material is suit
ed to the handsomest of gowns and
wraps.
In the suit pictured the skirt has a
moderate fare with the direction of
the stripes cleverly managed to en-
phasize it. The front and back seams
are on a diagonal Of the goods, and
there is little fullness about the waist
line. 1t is longer than the average
suit-skirt, and is finished with a band
OF fur.
The designer of this model has at
tended to the management of stripes
in the coat with the same care that
is evidenced in the skirt. In the body
and sleeves the stripes are vertical,
but in the flaring peplum they run
around the figure with slant toward

ages, and are to be worn under the

they are made in light colors to be
slipped on between dances, over the

signers always bear in mind that the
wearers expect to look their prettiest

To Encourage The Beaver.

Beaver, instead of becoming extinct,
may to some extent resume its place
as a standard American fur II the
plans of State Game Warden William
r. Oates prove effective.
Warden Oates proposes to establish
beaver colonies by planting one or
more pairs of the animal on suitable
streams of the state, giving such col
onies protection for periods that will
assure their permanency under con-
servative trapping privileges.
Originally the number of beaver In
Michigan became limited because OF
the dearth of food" said Warden
Oates. Forest fires brought us from
seeds dormant in the ground, new
variety of growth in the Michigan pop
lar. Hundreds Of streams in the state
are now bordered with this tree the
bark OF which is considered edible
and delectable by the beaver
Locations where back water from
their dams will do no harm can be se-
lected. Formerly their dams would
have interferred with the logger To-
day no lumbermen are driving on most
of the upper reaches of the streams.
Being naturally hardy and prolific the
beaver should thrive. 1t is the only
one OF the furbearers which does not
