Those Paid Political Ads.

The democratic candidates used a
large amount OF paid advertising
space in Republican newspapers in
ire fourth district this fall. Public
Opinion has carried considerable Of

tic candidates, and written by them
or their managers. The following on
the subject we take from the Usage

During the past few weeks the
democJftic organization has been
huying advertising SPACE in the
Press Journal for use in the cam

democratic ady3 'tisemmts were
published in the Press-Journal, W..
were beg ming to lean that way our
selves. We never have been demo.
cratic, and, SO far as we can see now
we never will be. We believe that
the country prospers better under
republican rule, and can point to his
tory for our substantiation. That
fact, however, cannot close our COZ
umns to any clean advertising. Any
advertiser, whatever his creed or
politics, has access to the columns
OF any newspaper so long as his ad-
Vertisihg is clean and wholesome,
and SO long as he pays the regula-
ton advertising rates. Therefore,
democrats as well as republicans
have the use Of our columns, though
We will admit that personally we
can seldom see anything very whole.

but this particular one is his pet. His
country home, Cragh Darragh, is sit

trees, shrubs, everything is there, to

IA wonderful ride through long, shad-

in a big friendly tone, and coming
toward me was a man in overalls,
carrying a garden spade. When we
were close enough for me to see his
face, l discovered it was Fiske o.
Hara, the master of the estate and
not the gardener as l had first
thought. Now can you imagine,
Fiske O'Hara the Irish star, whom
you have always seen in the most
costly costumes, in overalls? Girls,
don't you envy me? 1t was a revel-
alton. The first time overalls ever

went Summing one Xmas eve some
years ago, with some friends of mine
who had prepared a few baskets for
some families who were in absolute
need of food. So few Of us ever come
in contact with the real deserving
poor. One of tie families had six
little children, the father had been
out of work through illness for
months. There was no money for the
barest articles of food, much less the
toys and delicacies children look for
ward to at Yule time. Their little
pinched faces tightening up at the
sight of the baskets, set me to think
ing. What in the world would they
do for more, when this supply was
exhausted? That old worn and much
used phrase kept running through my
brain. Charity Legins at home

not in the sense meant and intended
by the sentence, but literally. At my
country home in Connecticut / had
acres of land lying idle, land on
which / could raise potatoes, to give
to the little Riddles, not only around
Christmas time, but during the long
cold winter months. long after the
Christmas spirit was forgotten, when
the little children needed nourish
ment just as much, and when it is not
forthcoming, as on the 25th of De-
cember. And so each year plant po
tatoes and look after them myself,

l have one or two shawls that are
rather attractive. They are made like
ordinary plain lengths OF material,
nothing to recommend them but the
fur itself, which the wearer herself
adapts. There is nothing to It at all
whatsoever, but about two and a half
yards long by yard and a quarter
wide OF moleskin. sealskin or tailless
ermine lined with some contrasting
short fur. II is just a blanket and
nothing else, but is worn with the
most delightful effect on a slim woman
who knows properly how to manipu-
late such things,
Above you will find a picture OF a
striped taffeta gown with a satin Dor
der made in a deeper shade. In the
front 1t has a tiny little apron Dor
dered with the fur described above.
The bodice is made high in front, with
a deep "V" in the back. The sleeves
describe themselves. Notice the odd
way in which the lady is wearing her
hair. In the front 1t is still close to
the head. while besides the little
braids three small. puffs appear rather
far back on the crown.
A gala evening dress appears. with
two views. 1t is of lemon colored
taffeta faced with pink over a petit
coat of the same. which is OF brocade
with silver bowers. A little pink satin
bodice with a diagonal band Of fur,
the sash in shades OF citron. orange
and pink, finished with a bouquet OF
flowers, complete this simple but dig
nified gown.

OF for the moment.

ming as we'll as for warmth, while
they are being mixed In many queer
ways to form both design In texture
and in color. The queer colored dyed
furs Of last season have completely
disappeared. They we're much too
eccentric and easily copied to be long
lived, as we're the dyed wigs or any
thing else so eccentric that make
such a sudden appearance.
Furs as before are still dyed, but
only in colors that are natural or
seemingly natural. In some cases
fox is made a little bluer or Kolinsky
a little redder or darker. but what
ever fur is used, 1t is only slightly re-
moved in color from the natural.
The making up OF furs this season
has the greatest charm, and ! have
used many little novelties that are
extremely attractive. One happy idea
is the very little narrow bands OF
rope fur which make the daintiest
and most charming of trimmings.
Very narrow strips OF fur are twisted
closely together around . long cord.
