In several models there was ten dency toward ombre and two-toned eff fects, while others were given an accent by the large flower, usually in much darker tone, which was placed at the waist-line either in front or a little to one side.

THE TREND OF FASHION
Rx HELEN MERRILI. EMERY

A NOTICEABLE feature of the "A fashions of the winter just past
 was the marked vogue of pink in all it's wide range of tones from the most delicate of flower tints to the deep shade of camelia.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-04-26

Pink chiffon as a background for silver embroidery, pink crepe with de- signs of pearls and crystals and del icate apricot tinted satin with a touch of French blue are seen again and again. A significant note is that these frocks are worn by older women as well as by debutantes.
 The model illustrated is charm ing exponent of the vogue for pale tints. Fashioned of pink chiffon it has the cape back and the cleverly draped sash that distinguish the modes of this season.

 This tripped Muggins, the Magician so that, he fell upon his nose and he fell very hard too. Then, before Mug gins could get up, Aunt Amy had the Grocery boy run with the Raggedys to- wards Aunt Amy's little white house with the red roof.
 They Z would have reached Aunt Amy's little white house if it had not been for Muggins' magicial string. When Muggins saw that our friends had escaped, he took the Magical String from his pocket and threw it upon the ground, crying as he did, Catch them Magical Stringp And the Magical String slid along through the woods just like a slender snake until it caught up with our friends, then it wrapped itself around tho:r ankles and

Marks on painted waiis. which have. been caused by carelessly strik- ing matches on them will disappear if rubbed first with the cut surface of lemon, then with clean cloth dipped in whiting. Afterward wash the surface with warm water and soap, and then quickly wipe with clean cloth wrung out of clear water.
 If you want your sewing machine to do satisfactory work. remember that it should be kept clean. After every 10 hours work it needs oil, but the surplus oil should be care fully wipped off, or the material will be stained.

Muggins, the Afagi.

Muggins, the Magi- clan, was a very strange little man.
 Just why he wished to put magic spec tacles upon Auut Amy and the nice Grocery boy and Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and little Rags puppy dog and change them into Witches, no one knew.
 Maybe it was be- cause he was a mean little fellow and did not like to have aDy- one else enjoy any fun.
 Some people are that way you know. But it is not a nice way, to be! It is a great deal more fun always helping others have a pleasant, time than it is in being so selfish you try to keep all therfun to yourself. But of course you and I know that, without being told.
 Muggins, the Ma : gician, intended put ting his magical spec tacles upon RaggedyI Ann, and no doubt he would have succeeded if Raggedy Andy had not. put his foot in the, way when Muggins ran past him towards Ra1pedv Ann

Lee Company and is entitled: "Andy Gump, His Life Story" What makes it more certain that the timeliness of the voluG1e's appearance was not accidental is that 1t was written obviously by Gump's campaign manager, MT. Sidney Smith. To be sure, the author cleverly seeks to convey the impression that the work is really an autobiography, but there is evi- dence leading to the conclusion that MT. Gump merely furnished the data and that his Bascom Slemp deliberately narrated the story in the first person in order to win the popular vote. t< .
 There are passages where the author evidently draws freely on his. imagina- tion, for there are incidents related that Mir. Gump's native modesty would have barred him from confiding even to cam paign manager. Some of the incidents are already known to the public, but there is enough new in the volume to make it well worth reading. MT. Smith is evident | ly a better writer than politician, as it is undoubtedly only Mir. Gump's wig orous personality that carries both the book and the campaign. His political manager and biographer has his work made easy by the fact that it is Andy Gump whom he acclaims. Undoubtedly if it were not for the Gump money, Mr.
 Smith would be hard put to it to know where his next meal is coming from.

 Nearly all women make themselves as come ly as possible, but truly homefy man sell dom has much pride in his appearance, and there are men who might make themselves reasonably personable, but who neglect their appearance and are distinctly unpleasing from an esthetic viewpoint. Who knows how many homely men have perished at the hands of female assassins just because they were homely?
 And now that women are sharing with men the duties of jury service, may it not be pos sible that the good looks or lack fo good looks of a male defendant may influence fu- ture verdicts? Who knows? Surely male jurors have shown themselves so remarkably mush-headed that female jurors would be open to no unkind criticism were they to be little mushy Cleveland Plain Dealer

CHANGES FOR ELECTORAL SPLIT.

What would happen if, in the coming No vember election, no one of the candidates for president or vice-president were to receive majority of the electoral votes? There are two ways in which such a situation might arise. If the electors in each state votes as a unit, as is ordinarily the case, and cast and same number of votes for president as they cast for vice-president, any or all of the can didates might nevertheless fail to carry enough states to give majority in the Flee toral College while if the electoral votes of several states is split either as between par ties or between candidates of the same party it may easily come about not only that no candidate for either office will command a majority of the whole number of votes, but also that the number of votes for president and vice-president will not be the same.
 Neither of these results could happen if, with only two parties in the field, the cleo tors in each state vote solidly for their party candidates, because the total membership of the Electoral College, the same as the com bined membership of the senate and house of representatives, is an odd number; but if three or more parties were each to win some electoral votes, the casting of solid votes by

friendly to the offer throughout, the peo- pie of Nashville voting by tremendous majority in it's favor in poll conducted by the Banner. That newspaper thus comments: "The Banner fought hard the good fight for the Ford offer. It has had with it overwhelming popular sentiment. Its disappointment is therefore as keen as can be that of the people of this sec tion. It yet hopes that something will be done to bring about the conscientious utilization of the tremendous Muscle Shoals power for humanity's benefit. It has little faith in any of the concerns which submitted bids in opposition to the one made by MT. Ford. Their bids were part and parcel of the general plan of obstructive tactics outlined and put into operation by the fertilizer trust. Having accomplished their purpose, having worn out the patience of Henry Ford, they, too, will likely withdraw their bogus bid. y And the Memphis Commercial-Appeal significantly adds: "One of the main promises of the Republican party four years ago was to restore normalcy to our internal and external affairs. And con- lsidering the chaos that has prevailed in both our domestic and foreign policies during the last four years, the facts themselves are the best proof Then we were told four years ago that more busi- ness would be put in government and 1 less government in business. MT. Ford brings the convincing answer to that"
 Thsre is generally expressed the hope and belief, however, that the Ford offer lis still in the ring and that it is yet the best hope for public benefit from the Muscle Shoals project.

 He was especially emphatic in denying that Mrs. FerguSon's reputation was indis- solubly linked with that of her husband, say ing that if the latter had done anything wrong the punishment fell on him alone and did not extend to his family by sort of at- tainder. He denied that Mrs. Ferguson was ineligible because her husband, as asserted, could draw her salary or could take it away done both of those things, but now he could not do either of them, as woman's right to her own earnings and other property had been established. As to whether the two Fergusons had conspired as charged, to let the wife be elected and the husband to the real governor, the judge said that was a ques- tion to be decided by the voters on election day.

 Everything considered, it was a sad day for the "woman's place is in the home" the ory. At any rate, the judge held that some women there were some other places which sometimes they could occupy with entire propriety and clear legality, among them the governorship of Texas.-New York Times,
