THE HOUSEHOLD
TasseIs-Nenette and Rcntintin.
Edited by ANNE KITTENHousB

Tassels have taken the place left
vacant by fringe. which enjoyed too
great a vogue in the early part of the
season to augur well for its long con-
tinued favor. Tassels are not so easy
to use as fringe Fringe could be add
ed to everything and anything. 1t re-
quired no special design or scheme of
trimming, where as when you use tas-
sells you must have a more definite
scheme in view. 1t has been suggested
that Nenette and Rintintin. which. of
course. are made entirely of string
worsted. are responsible for the vogue
for tassels. Really Nenette and Rim
tintin are nothing more nor less than
tassels.
One of the c1everest uses of tassels
is seen on a frock where the bottom
of the unkerskirt for about a half a
yard is covered with tassels sewed
regularly in rows about two inches
apart. Above the underskirt the tunic
is likewise trimmed with five rows of
tassels sewed at regular intervals all
short elbow sleeves are also trimmed
with tassels sewed on about an inch
apart. It seems simple. but no one
but an expert can dispose of so many
tassels in such an apparently simple
way without making a botchy result.
An effective and rather striking
evening frock shows a pointed front
panel that falls over a short lace I'M
derskirt and terminates in an enor
NOUS silk tassel that hangs six inches
below the underskirt, thus brushing
the insteps.
The blouses that show peplum that
extends over the skirt are never more
attractive than when held in at the
waist by a narrow cord In fact. the
narrow string belt has superseded the
wide belt on these blouses. Often ii
terminates in two tasseis that hang
freely at the left side

TRIBUTE TO T. R.
Secretary Lane Gives Praise to
Great American.
1t Is Made a Part of Report on
Pension Bill.

Washington. Jan. 21.-A tribute to
Theodore Roosevelt by Secretary Lane
was adopted by the house pensions
able report on a bill which already
has passed the senate granting an an
nual pension of 5000 to Mrs. Roose-
welt. Secretary Lane wrote the COM
mittee that congress had set precedents
by granting pensions to the widows
OF Presidents Polk. Tyler. Lincoln,
Grant. Garfield and Mckinley. The
committee unanimously voting a ia
vorabie report found that the secre-
tary's letter constituted lone of the
most beautiful. fair and just tributes
to Mr.. Roosevelt's life and character.
1t follows:
THE impression that Theodore
Roosevelt's personality has made upo l
the world does not need emphasis
Whatever his fame as a statesman, it
can never out-run his fame as a man
However widely men may differ from
him In matters of national policy this
thing men in their hearts would all
wish. that their sons m'--'-- have with.
in them the spirit. the will. the
strength, the manliness. the Ameri-
canism of Roosevelt. He was made
OF that rugged and heroic stuff with
which legend delights to play. The
idylls and sagas and Iliads have been
woven about men of his mold. We
may surely expect to see developed a
Roosevelt legend. a body of tales that
will exalt the physical power and en-
durance of the man and the boldness
OF his spirit, his robust capacity for
blunt ~peech and his hearty comrade-
ship, his live interests in all things
living-these will make our boys for
the long future proud that they are
of his race and his country And no
surer fame than this can come TO any
man-to live in the hearts of the boys
OF his own land as one whose doing
and sayings they would wish to make
their own"

IS FILED
Green's Cross Petition in
Roam Hotel Case Is In.
Cite Arrest of A. III. ReichIey,
Proprietor, Last Spring.

The famous Roam hotel case was
revived this morning when NJ. l..
Green and Lee Green filed in the office
of the district court reply to the
answer and cross petition of A. H.
Reichley, filed January IS. Some time
ago the Greens started suit against
Reichley to recover $4,0S7.76 damages
on the ground that they had leased
the hotel from Reichley and were to
take possession January 1, 1918, but
that Reichley refused to abide by his
contract even after they had sold their
interests in Noel, Mo, and moved to
Topeka.
On January IS Reichley filed an
answer and cross petition charging
that it was the Greens who had failed
to abide 4by certain conditions in the
lease and that he had always been
ready and willing to turn the hotel
over to them. He asked damages of
$3.50 against them.
Today the Greens filed their reply,
alleging that it was not until about the
middle of March, 1918, that Reichley
offered to turn the hotel over to them.
But about March 3, they said. he had
been. arrested by Sheriff Hugh Lari-
mer on the charge of running an i'm
moral house and that by reason of his
arrest the rental value of the hotel
had deprecated at least one-half. To
their reply. as exhibit A, the Greens
attached copy of the State Journal
of March 2, containing a front page
story of Reichley's arrest by Sheriff
Larimer and the alleged revelations
resulting from investigations by the
county authorities. Reichley was not
convicted of the allegations made
against him by county officials.

BOLSHEVIST CREED GIVEN.
Parting Message From Trotzky to
