With tie beginning of the season suits and dresses were. presented in q variety of silhouettes, and now that the midseason is here. the public has declared it's preference. Wide-hip, erin oline and peg-top outlines captured and held their devotees. but n high percentage of well-dressed people pinned their faith to lines almost un- broken in suits, in dresses. md more particularly in evening gowns. No new aspirant has disturbed the stabil- fly of the straight-Iine suit, and now that manufacturers have tested out the public, that is the one thing they are entirely sure of. Therefore such new suits as they are turning out for present sale are variations of the straight-line models.

Christmas Decorations.

Everywhere women and children are more or less engrossed with prep arations for Christmas day, the most joyous of the year for them. No one can do too much toward celebrating the greatest of festivals in the right spirit, for 1t should be a day of re- jOicing. The interchanging of gifts is all to this end. but this phase ot Christmas celebrating seems overdonc, and to occupy too much time and costs too much money in late years it crowds out other and equally impor- tant things. Everyone should share in the good cheer at Christmas time and extensive giving of high-priced gifts would much better he curtalled than the Christmas dinner with the reunion of members of families ana their friends. the remembrance of the un. fortunate or poor, and contributions to institutions that need them.

 Poinsettia Is made by cutting petals in various sizes from crepe paper, wifi ing them along the center with very fine wire, and winding the petals to a stem of heavier wire. The whole out lit for making them costs next to nothing. Bright red berries can he simulated with fine wire and sealing wax, If holly can't be obtained, by shaping the wax on the cad of short lengths of fine wire. Some lovely Christmas baskets for household and table decoration are made by filling wicker, or other baskets, with press cd maiden-hair ferns and paper poln- settia blossoms.
 Candle, lamp and electric light i shades of red and green paper are made in much the same way as poln- settia. Petals of red paper all in one size, are stayed with fine wire, which can be curved 10 suit the light, and among these few smaller green pet als to represent the ealyx of the flow CT, are to be placed. They are glued to circular disk at the center, with hole cut in 1t to fit over the electric ! light or candle shade supporter or lamp globe. When the petals have been glued to place the shade appears flat like plate, but the petals can be curved by means of the wire in them, in any way desired and the shades made small or large by varying the size of the petals.

TENANTS oUTNUmBER OWNERS.

The United States has fought all her wars to preserve the home" and yet probably 60 per cent of her people are tenants This was the text se- lected the other day by Cnited States Senator William NJ. Calder of New York in address be- fore The New York Real Estate associations con Nention urging the necessity of national cam paien for the creation of homes. He said
 The object of each of wars has been in the last analysis, to preserve the home. Yet we find that to the majority of people in this country home means little more than q dwelling for which they are paying rent. What is worse in the situation is that the percentage of these rent pay CTS is growing.
 Tn 1880 we were advised that 52 per cent of the people in America lived under the rental system, ill 1910 that the percentage had increased to D, and probably the census of 1920 will show that fully GO per cent of the people will be classed as tenants"

Taxation on the Home.

The necessity for giving proper attention to real estate taxation brought to notice in a paper by Harrison B. Riley. president of the Chicago Title and Trust company, which read at the recent convention of the Real Estate Association of the State of Illinois in Champaign In his paper Mir. Riley said:
 1t is undeniabe that real estate and therefore the home keeper. pays an increasingly unfair amount for the support of the government and the convenience of the people. A lazy indifference and q stupid lack of intelligence in the levy and estate bears only an equal proportion of the ex- penses of government and of civilization with other classes of property.
 Heretofore real estate has furnished over 80 per cent of the revenue needed by the state, the several counties and the unnumbered municipal and ouasimunicipal corporations.
 "Personal property which equals or very likely exceeds the value of real estate. has escaped pay ing any fair proportion of governmental expenses
 T suggest that the new state constitution shall have only two restrictions the power of the general assembly to levy and collect taxes--vz. : That all taxes shall L. equal and uniform
 .rhe provisions for taxation and special assess ment in the new constitution should be flexible that property and earning capacity can be reached and an income tax used a substitute for spe- ciic taxes upon classes of property difficult to termine except by assessive body much too heavy and too dangerous in character to be tol- erated.'

Tells OF
Low PRICES IN SOUTH

"I'm not bringing much en-
couragernent to the tobacco
growers of the Blue Grass" said
Col. James H. Pearson, we'll
known auctioneer, as he reached
home Tor Thanksgiving Turkey
this week, direct from the tobac-
co markets of North Carolina
where he has been crying sales all
winter.
"The market is just naturally
low and that's all there is to it
Tobacco is feeling the slump with
everything else, except beefste
it seems, and the tobacco grow
ers of Kentucky are face to face
with the same proposition that
have just seen in the Carolinas. l
think that good tobacco will bring
a fair, living price, but as for the
low grades. I'd hesitate to say
anything about them. They may
make good fertilizer"
This was Col. Pearson's first
season selling on the southern
breaks, and he made 'em all sit up
and take notice The papers there
all spoke in highly complimentary
terms of his work, tharacterizing
him as the "Silver-tongued Cy-
clone" from the Blue Grass and III
other flattering ways. His friends
up here who have seen him in ac-
ton know that he would make
good in the Carolinas or. any
where else.
A dispatch from Maysville to
the city papers says that the to-
bocco growers at the tobacco fair
there announced that they would
take Congressman Campbell Can
trill's advice and withhold from
the market all low grade tobacco
until later in the season. Most
of the farmers declared that they
have far better tobacco this sea-
son than for many years and that
they would not let it go at low
price.
