HUGHES AWAITING
An OFFICIAL COUNT

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.--Hughes will
let his telegram of congratulations to
Wilson wait on the official count of
votes in California, New Mexico, North
Dakota and New Hampshire, and pos
sibly in two more states.
If the official count confirms the
Wilson victory as it is apparent now,
the Republican nominee wishes there
tc be no recount. The reason the Re-
I ublicans are still unwilling to admit
defeat is that in five states whose vote
g still incomplete, a chance of 5000
votes might mean shift in the tide
Of victory from Wilson to Hughes.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
Fringe.

Fringe.
On the edges Of great many
luncheon sets and between meal cen,
terpieces fringe is used instead oil
lace or course, fringe has always
been used more or less on dresses
but this fringe is quite different from
dress fringe. .,o
It is very narrow and many of the
natterns are quite elaborate and often
have thread of color running
through them, giving the effect OF
head work while others resemble
crochet The fringe is very pretty
and it costs no more and is Just as
onsv to sew to the material as lace
Fringe is most appropriate for porch
furnishings. especially when the Pill
lows and table covers are of chtntz
or cretonne. While for summer cur
ta,ns in a bedroom nothing could be
nrettier, as the white fringe can De
Dnrcbased with thread of green
male blue or pink running through II,
and when attached to white curtains
