NEW HANDKERcHIEFS.
Wolfe Is Now Being Used For These
Very Necessary Artiolea.

very necessary ArtlOteSs
The newest thing in handkerchief
and there are new things in these ac-
cessories as well as in any other-are
those of wolfe. OF course the finest of
wolfe is used for the purpose, so that it
will not be disagreeable to use.
One style of handkerchief is Of solid
pale pink voile and Is bound with a
narrow white hem. Blue, lavender and
green voiles are used in the same way
A number of the handkerchiefs have
very wide border of white around a
solid portion of color.
A very unusual decoration of one
wolfe handkerchief is figure of a w0-
man dressed in street costume and
leading dog. The latter is embroid-
cred in black, while the figure of the
woman is embroidered In combina-
ton Of gay colors.
Some of the wolfe handkerchiefs are
ornamented solely with fancy hem
stitched border. Such treatment of
handkerchiefs adds great value to
them, SO that the price of one handker-
chief is 81 or more
Blocked designs are very prominent
ia the new wolfe handkerchiefs. These
are separate sections of the material
hemstitched into the corner of a hand
kerchief
Not only are women's handkerchiefs
made of wolfe. 1t is used also for mems
handkerchiefs, and the colored borders
on them are just as gay and attractive
as those of the smaller kerchiefs
OF course handkerchiefs of crepe de
chine and china silk are still enjoying
great popularity.

PIE PLATE AND SHADOW HATS
Odd, Chic and Exceedingly Becoming
Are These Midsummer Creations.

Odd, Chic and Exceedingly Becoming
Are These Midsummer Creations.
As the days grow warmer new fash
ions are launched, but those which do
appear are no less attractive and some
times show greater thought and origi-
nality than the features displayed In
the fashion festivals at the beginning
of the seasons
Odd, chic and exceedingly becoming
are the new pie plate and shadow hats.
The pie plate hat has a reasonably
large brim, about the edge of which is
an upturned frill of plated malines,
giving the appearance Of a crinkly pie.
The shadow hat is even more fascinat-
Ing, for 1t wells at times the eyes. At
least it does so when the head is bent
This shadow hat Is nothing more than
a straight brimmed sailor, the brins Of
various widths, according to choice,
about which Is placed a fat fold Of
malines, black or white. The fold is
about two inches in width, and, being
placed with its center along the edge
OF the hat brim, an inch extension Of
the fold Is then upon either side Of the
brim edge. This makes a sort Of little
transparent wall about the hat above
the edge of the brim and a smooth
curtain like band below the edge. The
very snartest people are wearing these
hats

A F arewell to
the Mountains
By DONALD CHAMBERLIN

Jerry Whitcomb, a young American
had a hobby-mountain climbing. On
several successive summers he went to
some one Of the principal mountain re-
gions of the world and scaled a peak
But his fayorite location was Switzer-
land. Indeed, that is the favorite noun
tain country Of most persons. Whether
or not it is finer than the others is a
question, but there is one thing about
it that gives it superior attraction. 1t
IS in the heart Of Europe and in the
line. Of tourists.
Whitcomb had fayorite guide who
lived at Scheidegg, a point from which
climbers have been long used 20 start
to ascend the Jungfrau. This was
before railroad was projected to car
ry tourists to the top of the mountain,
and Schmitt, the guide referred to- had
a chalet not far above Scheidegg.
One day when Whitcomb had passed
the crest Of middle age he appeared at
Scheidegg and found his old guide
smoking his pipe In front Of his chalet.
My old friend said the American,

ascents. I wish you to pilot me once
more"
'Ah, herr" replied the guide, don't
talk that way. / am several years old

starve"
There was a sadness in. this reply
that made Whitcomb sorry for what he
had said. "Ah, well, Schmitt, you
have been used to climbing all your
life. You will always be at home in
the mountains"
Schmitt's little daughter was play
ing near and at the moment she called
OUT
Papa, who is that woman over
there?'
What woman, my child?"
THE woman on the glacier"
Schmitt turned to Whitcomb and
asked him if he, could see a woman on
the glacier, his own eyes being not so
good as they had been. Whitcomh
peered in the direction of the glacier,
but said he could see no woman
Sehmitt turned pale.
Something troubles you" said Whit
comb.
1T is the. spirit of the mountains
She appears only to children and never
even 20 a child except she is going to
claim a victim
The fact that the two men were to
climb the Jungfrau made this state
ment a matter of concern to them. |
Whitcomb could not bring himself to
believe that the child saw what she
claimed to have seen. Some one of
the cracks in the ice or rock must
have appeared like a woman's figure
He said as much to Schmitt, but the
latter shook his head

except that one or more persons have
been killed on the mountain within a

"FooI MonI<ey.v


In this as in SO many games it lends
ease If the players sit in circle and
select a leader.
The leader then starts the game by
naming an animal whose name begins

adds to it another animal, the name

it goes on, soon becoming a serious tax

Whoever bungles the catalogue or

Why the Owl Is Wise.

AS wise as an owl" my father said
One day While talking to Uncle Ted.
Now I've thought and thought about that
speech,
And every time hear one screech
say to myself, Gas wise as an owl"
And wish that + at night might prowl
So could learn to be as wise
And see as much with my wee eyes.
You know the owl can see at night;
They say he has such wondrous sight.
So he must know each elf that roams
And witches. kelpies, COLLINS. gnomes.
And that is why the grownups say,
AS wise as an owl-'tis as plain as day.

Baseball Peace Delegates Meet
IN New York Today.
August Hermann Says That
the Outlook Is Favorable.

New York, Dec. 17.-Officials and
club owners of the National, Ameri-
can. Federal and International leagues
met here today for a peace conference
which may end the war between or
ganized baseball and the independ-
ents. and determine the standing of
the game throughout the big league
territory for years.
The conference is regarded as the
most important ever held in baseball
history. Should peace result it may
bring about a reorganization of several
of the most important clubs in the
two major leagues.
outlook Favorable.
The outlook for peace was described
by August Hermann. of Cincinnati,
chairman of the national commission,
as favorable. He expected no hitch
in the negotiations beginning today.
Baseball men predicted that the peace
terms eventually will be placed in the
hands Of the national commission and
that Harry F. Sinclair would act with
the commission in drawing up the
final agreement.
: one of the doubtful contingencies
IN the future status of the Federal
league players after the absorption of
that league or its anneXa ton by the
National league, Harry F. Sinclair, one
of the financial powers OF the indie
pendentS declared, was that every
player under contract by the Federals
must be taken care of before peace
could become q reality. President
Tener said also that he was in favor
of restoring all contract jumpers from
organized ranks to good standing
again and by inference made it appear
that sucn an understanding mad been
reached between the National and
Federal league officials at the recent
secret meeting in this city. He said:
Il have always believed and l now
believe that no ball player should be
punished unless he has made himself
morally unfit or a real detIimcnt to
ball playing 1, for one, certainly will
not vote to punish a contract breaker
just because peace is to be estab-
lished. 1t would be well for those
Judging him TO think of the condi-
lions AMI the temptations. Some of
US can remember back to the brother
hood days and 1 am one of them"
Mr.. Tener also said that every step
toward peace with the Federal league
had been carefully though out and
that he expected nc further difficult
ties in the negotiations so far as his
league and the independent interests
were concerned. The National league
had been for peace for a long time, he
stated. and details had been worked
out before announcement was made of
n possible settlement of the baseball

Sam Stewart, AII-Kansas tackle. who
has been chosen captain of the
Washburn football team for 1916.

Stewart was one of the best players
on the team this season. and, ac-
cording to many, demonstrated that
he was one of the best tackles Wash
burn ever possessed. Next year will
be his third year as wearer of the
Washburn moleskins, and many pre-
dict that he will prove an all-Valley
man.
Stewart is an ideal football man in
every sense of the word. Over six
feet tall and weighing 200 pounds, he
is fast on his feet, has n cool head
and is a close student of the game
Also, he developed into a punter of
remarkable ability during the latter

Stewart stated after the election
have a better team in 1916 than in
as being in favor of playing four
Kansas conference games and four
games with Missouri Valley teams.
He said he thought a game would be
given Washburn by Nebraska again,

A HELP TO MINORS
John Savage Says Peace Will
Mean Better Times.
Topeka Club Has Signed New
Pitcher-Fielder.

THE greatest amount of good that
will come to the minor leagues
and the Federals will probably be
that the big leagues will show more
iberality in buying players" John
Savage, owner of the Topeka club,
said when asked what effects the
peace negotiations might be expected
to produce in class A circles.
1t is estimated that if the American
ana National leagues allow the Fed
magnates to buy in and the outlaw
circuit is disbanded, there will be ap-
proximately eco players to turn over
to class A ard IA circuits. There
are few players in the Federal league
who would not make first class A and
AA material and those who are taken
care of and are not retained by the
majors, if peace is declared, will I'M
doubtedly go to such leagues as the
Western, the Southern and the Amer
lean association.
Many of these men have contra cts
that call for more than the minor
leagues can afford to pay and will prob
ably have to submit to new contracts
at smaller salaries.
Topeka Club Plans.
According to Owner Savage players
of the Topeka club will report for
their first practice about April the
first, depending upon the date set for
the opening of the playing season
when the magnateS meet in Lincoln
men will comprise the first squad.
Savage announced this morning that
he had signed a new neutrality-suspicious.
by the name of Elmer ''Swat-'em
Pete Hanson, from the Northwestern
league. Hanson is a yOungster about
6 feet inches tall and weighs 1875
pounds. The Topeka magnate saw
him in action while he was on the
coast, and says he can hit ball as
hard as any youngster he ever saw
ma nipulate a bat.
There will be five or six new men
report with the first squad next
spring. but most of the old ones are
expected back. With Monroe gone,
the catching string is the one that
will have to be given the most atten-
ton, but Snow, who was signed last
fall will be on hand, and Savage only
expects TO bring en- one other catcher

anything like as evenly matched as
they were last season.
There seems to be a growing senti-

thing in favor of rutherford is that he

man who could be procured.

Candidates for coach of Wisconsin's
eleven for next year have been warned
to keep silent regarding their CORE

will not be considered for the place.
