II you'd like some pretty and novel
fxings for the nursery which will hold
the little ones spellbound, here are some
which were shown at model house in
New York store not long ago.
The first thing you will need is a few
yards Of unbleached muslin, enough for
curtains, bedcover or whatever you
have in mind to give that desired I'm
ishing touch. The next is a smaller
quantity of calico or cambria in the
prevailing color of the room. A half
inch band Of this will be used to edge
draperies bedccver, bureau scarf or
whatnot. Next make up the articles you
desire in the muslin adding the colored
border.
To go on you will need a table on
which to work. You will also need as
many pictures Of animals as you can
easily come by. They need not be elab-
crate ones, since you will only need
outlines. Often child's painting book
will give you what you require. They
should be about 8 inches high, and q
comparatively small number of large
animals gives q much better design
than many small ones.

Shoes must be snart-but the smart
woman adds that they must be COM
Portable. Skirts are still a long, long
way from the ankle line and even eve
ming skirts that dip down at the back
to trail on the ground only serve to
bring shoes more in the ltmelight than
ever. And women have learned that 1t
Is as dificult to hide the fact that the
shoe Is uncomfortable as 1t is that It
clashes with the dress in color or that
1t Is shoddy and rundown at the heel
The statement is sometimes made
that women's feet are growing larger
Records of shoe dealers and shoemakers
can be brought forth to prove this.
Elves are as usual as threes were once
and the tall woman asks for a number
seven as nonchalantly as she once
would have asked for five.
Actually her feet are no larger In
proportion to her height than they ever
were-only she has decided to have
shoes that are comfortable. Not only
because she wants to be comfortable,
but because she has learned that even
with the most heroic efforts she cannot
hide the slight limp or hobble that is
inevitable when shoes construct.
A rather old-fashioned friend of
mine told me with considerable alarm
the other day that her tall 14-year -old
niece was wearing six and half B
shoes: She herself still clings tena-
ciously, though somewhat painfully, to
the four double A Of her youth.
The trouble with girls of today is
that their feet have been allowed to
spread" she told me. They 60 with
out shoes when they are babies, they
wear sandals and noccasins when they
begin to walk and broad-toed shoes
when they are a little older Mothers
ought to think of the ccnseouences!'
So I suppose old-fashioned Chinese
women argue when they see modern
Chinese girls with feet that have not
been bound and broken in babyhood.

Did you ever try to peel potatoes with
q carving knife?
And did you ever try to cut bread
with pairing knife?
Probably not, because every one who
attempts to keep house at all has a
pairing knife and a bread knife. But
many cooks and housewives waste valu-
able time and patience getting along
With knives that are not well adapted
TO the uses to which they are put.
In, every kitchen there should be
special knives for special purposes.
There should be q bread knife kept
specially for bread cutting, ard this
should never be used for any other pur-
pose. There are new bread knives with
edges showing wavy outlines which
some housewives prefer to the old saw
tooth knife. =
There should be special meat knife

Color Contrast
May Be Smart

There is tendency, recently noted
among the well dressed women here
and abroad. to get away from the more
obvious sort of color blending in ensem-
bles. And women noted for the care
they take In selecting details of dress
now deliberately choose to wear o purse
or a scarf or some other accessory that
strikes note of contrast to the rest.
This comes as a relief after a season
when every one seems to have acquired
the trick Of choosing matchihk or close
" blended accessories.

Creature Service Sports Editor)
 NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-A house cleaning, conducted with as much vigor as if the club were tail- ender, is putting the champion Yankees in readiness for the 1929 campaign.
 Four men who couldn't bolster two of the teams weakest spots in 1928 already have gone and others probably will follow. The de- partees are Joe Dugan and Mike Gazella, third baseman; Rosy Ry- an, pitcher and Pat Collins, a catcher.
 This smacks of drastic action for a team that won the American league pennant six times in eight years in addition to sweeping the last two world series. But Miller Higgins, Yankee. manager, coun- tenances no bluffing in his game and is stepping out to strengthen the shaky positions.
 The Tanks have not fully re- covered from the scare late last season. At least they still have clear recollections of the teams collapse. The pitchers were blamed then but mediocre work of two CT three other posts prevented the great baseball machine from quick ly overcoming handicap that all but beat the Hugmen out of the pennant.
 So there will be a new man at third base next year, fresh face or two behind the bat, perhaps a new player in the shortstop-sec- cnd base combinations, and one or two new pitchers.
 Unless Koenig is traded for a third baseman he will get a trial at the position at which Dugan, Gazella and Robertson failed last season. Lyn Lary, coming up from oakland of the Pacific Coast league, and Leo Durocher VII try for Kcenig's old job al snort. and Tony Lazzeri, whose full rcaovaiy from a shoulder strain is antici- pated, will play second. Lou Geh- rig, of course, will do the cilst passing.
 Meusel, Combs and Ruth will do their slugging act again, un ess Ruth's legs give way. A long Est of substitute outfielders new in cludes Ben Paschal and Liza Funk the latter recalled from the Yankee farm at Ss. Paul. Du-st, a hold over. may be there, too, to hep in the outfleld and at f.r-t b&@a.

'28 BETTER THAN '27
 FOR SPORTS CHAMPS

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-With all the leading sports from auto racing to wrestling con- sidered, 1928 turns out to have been better year for cham pions than 1927.
 Out of a list of 294 cham pions for 1928, amateur and professional, team and indi- vidual, s1 or 27.05 per cent are ''repeaters champions wh 70 retained their crowns. The year before { h e percentage was smaller, being 25.S1 per cent.
 Professional boxing whose champions are loathe to risk their titles unless they are pretty likely to retain them was leading stand-patter with only one title change in the entire year, while in such sports as golf and rowing few of the 1927 champions sur vived.

 Some of the spare oubfield and infield may help go for pitching talent. In fact Huggins tried hard to use his unwanted extras in trades with Cleveland for George Uhle and with the Red Sox for Ed Morris. He failed in both cases. Consequently he is still dangling the spare men before the other clubs in the hope of prying loose a couple of pitchers to work regularly beside Hcyt, Pipgras and Johnson.

DEATH TOOK HEAVY
 TOLL OF SPORTSMEN
 DURING PAST YEAR
By ALAN J. GOULD


 Associated Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Jan. 3.--The world of sport lost some of the most conspicuous and colorful figures of it's history in 1928 as death took a particularly heavy toll in the ranks of boxing, baseball and auto racing.
 The diamond mourned the pass ing of the famous Ee-yah Hughey Jennings, as well as Albert J. Reach, one of the games pioneers Joe Lannin, Jack Dunn and Urban Shocker. Kid Lavigne, form r worlds lightweight champion, and knights of the racing wheels lost "a famous quaftet-Frank Lock hart, Dave Lewis, Norman Batten and Earl Devore, all in dramatic fashion.
 Lockhart died in his famous Stutz Black Hawk as it catapulted into the ocean after roaring at 200 miles an hour along the sands at Daytona Beach. Lewis com mitted suicide in a lonely cabin near Los Angeles, while Batten and Devore went down with the victims of the yestris disaster.
 Baseball lost one of it's most unusual characters in Jennings, a great shcrtGtop with the Famous old Orioles; manager of a three time winner at Detroit, and later aide to his oldtime teammate, John McGraw, with the New York Giant combination. He was 56 years old when he died at Scranton early in the year, but Reach, a noted play CT before Jennings was born, died at the age of S7.
 Jack Dunn, famous as the dis coverer of Babe Ruth and other stars, piloted seven International League pennant winners at Balti- more, during which time he sold to the majors some of the highest priced players in the game. Ruth bent to the Boston Red Sox for comparatively little, but Bob Grove was sold by Dunn to the Athletics for $10s, ,O0O.
 Baseball edring the year, also lost Frank Wilson, the umpire, as well as such old time figures as Claude Rossman, Marr Phillips and Tom Lovett, who pitched one of the first no-hit games in the big leagues.
 In addition to Lavigne, boxing witnessed the d e a h of several young boxers as direct result of ring accidents early in the year. Fred Bobzin, Chicago student, died after a sparring match with Les Mariner of Illinois, who turned pro as a heavyweight. All amateur boxing in Connecticut was sus- pended after the death of Horace Aliff, 17-year-old youth, in an ac- cident at Meriden. A double knock out in a match at Los Angeles re- suited in the death of Michael Carnakis, 20 and narrow escape for his opponent, Philip Bromley, who was unconscious for nearly

 HEAVY IN 1928

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-It was a great year for upsets in 1928, especially in football.
 Boxing, golf, polo, and other sports figured in the unusual, but the gridiron game was in a class by itself
 In the unexpected class was the defeat of Yale by Mary land, Army by Notre Dame, New York University by Ore gon Aggies, Michigan by Ohio, Wesleyan, and Navy by Davis- Elkins.
