THE signpOStS of fashion all point
l. or beckon US ribbOnward. Every
thing that can be made of it is elab-
grated and embellished, so that all
the usual ribbon accessories offer ex-
amples of intricate workmanship and
reveal the hand OF the specialist In
designing. Now that the holidays are
dawning, this artistry in ribbons will
find It's reward because ribbon acces-
sories will fill big arc in the Christ
mas horizon and IL will take longer
to make these more elaborate things
than the simpler ones of other years.
In the group Of ribbon articles
shown above, the long sash marks this
tendency TO lavish adOrnment. A wide,
soft, satin ribbon employs silver It's
sue to form with itself the girdle for
the waist, which is knOtted at the
left side and is finished with long
loop of the ribbon and long end of
silver tissue. A cluster of grapes,
made of the tissue. is posed at the
right side and the long end of tissue
Is twisted about with another cluster
as a finish. Such a girdle will con-
vert a simple frock into something
splendid. and It would make lovely
gift.
A ribbonless breakfast cap would
be a curiosity-wOrds without music.
The new ways Of employing ribbons

Hope to Increase Alaskan Musk Oxen.

The treeless coastal plains of north
ern Alaska, from the international
boundary to Point Barrow and even as
far south as the Seward peninsula,
were at one time the home of the musk
OK. The animal seems TO have been
exterminated 10 those regions 30 or
more years ago.
An effort il now TO be made to re-
establish this interesting little species
OF the genus Bos in the territory, the
plan being to import from Coronation
gulf of Melville island a sufficient mum
Der OF specimens 10 form herd. This
accomplished, they can be bred for the
benefit of natives and white settlers.
The present governor of Alaska in
dorses the scheme, and suggests that a
ship be sent to Melville island in sum
mer, to winter there, and to return the
following summer with a bunch OF
musk oxen. He believes that by this
means an industry Of great future val
ne could be created.
Musk oxen are easily domesticated.
Their meat is hardly distiuguishable
from beef, and their milk about half
the quantity yielded by an ordinary
COW is very rich. The shaggy hair OF
the outer coat covers a soft, long tibered
wool, equal if not superior TO the finest
sheep wool Large bulls weigh from 600
to 700 pounds.

1ust a Matter of Common Sense.

We do not have to have many OF the
things that we are having. 1t would not
be pleasant or convenient TO get along
without them, but we could do 1t. More
frugal fare at the table, with less vari-
ety of yiands. the wearing of our old
clothes a little LANCER, even II Dame

visits to places of amusement, and
cheaper seats when there; the eurtail.
ing OF indulgenees which are of no real
benefit: and all this as a frank comics
sion that we cannot afford TO do other
wise. and not with the half ashamed air
of those who are following a whim or
fad for a time--this would do more 10
relieve the situation than all our wall
ing over high prices and our railing at
protiteers from now until doomsdsy.
And this would be the part OF simple,
plain common sense.
Ii is not easy II has its price and
it is a high price. too. We like to Keep
step with our neighbors and do as they
do. We cannot bear TO drop behind IN
the race of fashion. We do not want
TO deny ourselves any OF the good
things of life. We have labeled many
q
of our Injuries necessities, and we are
unwilling to give them up, no matter
what the cost Unquestionably econ
omy in buying and using Is but another
spelling of common sense in these days,
but for many of us it seems TO be a
harder spelling, and one that we are
finding it difficult to master--which we
attempt with the utmost reluctance, II
at ali. And yet it is the necessary
spelling. The problem before most Of
us is not so much how to relieve and
lessen the high cost of living, as how
to meet the high cost Of acting like
sane and sensible beings in the extraor
binary conditions that are upon us.
The secret of complete and satistac-
tory readjustment is not increased pro
duetion. but decreased demand, grow
ing out of an intelligent and determined
purpose TO limit our expenditures to
things that are absolutely necessary
and that we can well afford.-Watch
