So let your first bit OF work be in

Ieum on your closet floor. This can
cost much and you will surely find
your closet much better with 1t laid.
Select an attractive pattern. One of

If the plaster on the walls shows

this with water to make smooth
paste and then plaster the cracks,
smoothing off the surface with per-
fectly smooth board for a lathe.
When this is perfectly dry. you can
apply a coat of calcimine or one of the
patented wall paints and the effect
should be all that you desire. 1t is
very much better to have all shelves
well painted with two coats of white

they are not painted they become dis

On the billy tract newly added to
the west side of Gage park, where
there are thick clumps of pines and
shade trees overlooking little lake,
the city is planning to establish a
camping ground where overheated
Topekans may pitch their tents dur
ing the summer months and have the
benefit of cool breezes, or where tour
lists. may be accommodated in most
hospitable fashion. Plans for the
camping ground are announced by
Robert D. McGiffert. commissioner of
parks and public buildings.
The only work the camper will
have in making his summer camp
will be in pitching his tent over a
floor of wood to be provided by the
city. Probably fifty wooden floors
will be built on the site. The camper
must furnish his tent. Running water
will be furnished plentifully on the
camping ground and each tent will be
provided with electric lighting. For
campers convenience in cooking
ovens such as are sprinkled over the
park for picnic use will be built on
the camping ground. To contribute
to the picturesque effect the ovens
will be built of rough rative stone.

Clothes moths often linger in your

rendering any amount of attention to
the clothes themselves futile. Are
you sure about your own closets !?
Nowadays builders are paying quite
a good deal more attention to the
problem of proper clothes closets and
in many of the new houses you can
see just as careful finishing of the
closets as of the other parts of the
room. There are special drawers and
cubby-holes for the shoes and some
times there is a pier-glass on the in
side of the door.
One really does not need these new
closets, however. Quite a good deal
can be done toward making the old
ones satisfactory. In the first place

It Upon Mayors Table.

Lee Coberly. patrol driver, resigned
from police service Friday night. Co
berry, in his spare time, has been driv-
ing an Independent taXicab. Roy
Payne's men have complained that
Coberly has taken advantage of his
police commission to embarrass them.
Friday night Mayor H. J. Corwine
went to the chiefs office. Coberly
was called upstairs.
Coberly said the mayor asked him
If he had not been advised by the
chief not to bring his car around the
station. Coberly said he had. He
said Mayor Corwine then told him
that in the future he must leave his
car at home while on duty.
Coberly said he thereupon took off
his star and tossed it upon the table
near the mayor, asserting that he
would mot work for a man who
would uphold a Mexican and MacFar-
land" Coberly said Chief Hannah had
previously advised him not to modest
Pnynes men, because the mayor said
the firm was owned by Hodgins."

DRESS
By ANNE RITTENHOUsE,
Fans and Gloves, Bags and Combs
Have Taken on New Lustre Turing
the Winter and women Give Then
as Much Attention as They Do Their
ErOckS and Hats


Now and then in the worlds his
tory there comes a wave of excitement
about the trifles that women wear.
That wave is now sweeping over two
continents.
The French are credited with giving
the best of their art to the smallest
objects. They have given to the
world great beauty thru this source.
All of Europe shares that distinction.
During the centuries that preceded the
commercial one in which we live, men
had time to fashion trif1es that ex-
hibited the art of lifetime.
Now that we have drawn breath
from great commercial struggles. we
have begun to pay attention to the
email things that adorn not only wom-
en- but their houses. Some of them
are wonderfully fashioned. They do
not show any falling off in skill or
distinction from the epochs in which
workmanship, and not the selling
price. was of first importance.
Small Objects Dominate.
Have you noticed the movement in
house decoration to place a number OF
small objects on tables? That is the
revival of an old method of giving
warmth and color to rooms. Instead
of massive objects such as books,
vases, heavy picture frames, there are
small boxes, tiny figurines, small bits
of carving of Chinese jade, of old ivory
and sometimes a string of rare beads.
Whatever happens in interior deco
ration quickly reflects itself in WON
ems apparel. Thus it ever was Won

| to pay prices for them, that attract
attention even in a costly epoch.
The fan, the comb, the embroidered
glove, the pendant of carved jade

count in the seasons costume.

The opening <of the, Metropolitan
Opera in New York brought out fans
made of carved sticks mounted with
long paradise feathers, and other fans
that had been bought in Spain and in
France that had been held by what
Browning would call dear, dead wo-
men," These fans are sponsored in
France by those who are trying to
persuade the public to wear gowns of
he Second Empire. Whether or not
they will take the place of the i'm
mense fans made of feathers, it is too
early to say; but there is a strong ten
dency toward drastic change. Most
women are trying to get away from
