ODD BODICE VOGUE STYLE MOST HELPFUL TO THE HOME WARDROBE. Its Sphere of Usefulness Is Enormous Waist of Chiffon Is Especially Adapted for Elegant Uses One Illustrated. To look at tho piles of practical or glorifying styles Is to bo perfectly fcuro that tho odd bodice is to have n etlll longor and mora pronounced vogue. In fact, thero is not one coatBult in ten that can do without it. and what can be more helpful to the homo wardrobe than two or throe separate waists In various degroes of flnonoss. rendy to put on at a moment's notice with the one good skirt! Each of the bodlcos shown in the Pretty Model for Semi-Dress and Making Over Home Materials. shops, and which nre tho counterparts of others worn by Fashion's daughters, has Its own sphore of usefulness, which is to say that although almost everything is tho mode, nothing can be worn with tho wrong accoutrements or at tho wrong moment. The plain, practical waist, which looks so neat with a simple coat suit, and even smart, will seem a rag If worn with finer dress, while the chiffon bodice with tlnsol touches, gay girdle und jeweled buttons will seom as much out of place if worn with tho plainer gown. COMBINES SCARF AND MUFF iNovel Idea That Has Many Good , Points Fashionables Have Been Quick to See. A novel combination of scarf and muff is made of bands of chiffon, quillings of satin and strips of fur. It wraps tho body In shawl fashion, and Just at the waist line the width Is gathered In under two long buckles. From this point two long ends fall almost to the hem or a skirt Duckies hold In the lower edges of each side, and heavy fringe hangs from these. Thus far this Is a beautiful shoulder scarf. But when the weather is cold and the hands of the owner need tho comfortable warmth of a muff, It la there for the hooking. The lowor ends aro doubled up and hooked under tho uppor bucklos. A fringed muff Is tho result. The combination la clever and pleasing. Flowered Silks. One of the old-time revivals In fabrics is tho white or gray pompadour silk with Immense bouquots of flowers sprinkled over tho surface. Those nre often Joined by floating ends of Nattior bluo ribbon. Tho material makos Into quaint dinner frocks and gowns for elaborate afternoon affairs whon ono receives or pours tea. The fashions or that time can bo rollowod In making this gown: A rather full skirt opened In front over a panel, edged with lace or embroidery, a pointed basque, folded drapery around the hlpa and a deep, shnllow, squaro neck edged with a frill of lace. If one wears a hat with such n gown It should bo broad-brimmed nnd turned up flat at one side. Making Nursery Toilet a Treat. Kato Grecnaway clothes racks aro delightful bits of furnlturo ror tho nursery. Tho llttlo brass hooks ror Bmall garments are arranged on a tall pole, at tho top or which Is a cunning bit of a house. All tho wny up the polo winds a painted path with tiny Knto Grecnaway figures at intervals; nnd a "story" during tho dressing hour will often keep a fractious child ns still as a mouse In absorbed attention. The story will, ot course, bo all about the llttlo Kato Grecnaway kiddloB climbing up to tho houao at tho too ot the pole.

Yet ono simple bodice is much to the foro for elegant uses, and this is the scantily made waist of chiffon, or ombroldercd crepe, or mossallno, which is now provided for tho handsomer streot suits of coat and skirt Even when henvlly embroidered, as such waists so often are, or decorated with fragllo wroaths of neodlework botweon open ontro-doux, oven when they nro a mnss of fine tucks, tho effect Is ono of such extremo rostralnl that you can only use tho word slmplo for theso bodices. The close fitting and scant cut of the models has a good deal to do with causing this offoct; and in ordor that tho coat may sit still more flatly, trimmings are all flat. The result la a gracious modesty, which. In reality, Is tho outcomo of the highest art Few of those close fitting and most charming bodlcos nro llnod, though some are about tho shoulders. To facilitate tho snug fit of the skirt about the waist, tho tall of the bodico la often cut off and a shaped bias tall, some threo inches in width, applied there. This holds tho bodico down all around, without giving tho bungle that tho tall proper would give. Among the cheapor bodices for coatsuits there aro some very good plain models In moire silk and wool which clever womon sometimes buy and smarten up in some little way at home. With the drossier bodices, those for high day-dress and evening use, models are often odd In tho oxtrome, a single one sometimes showing three different sorts of over-trimming. Sometimes theso bodices seem a deal too fussy for good taste, and the various qunrterlngs made by the jnodels may give the body a contracted patchy look, but the slim figures that can wear thom look charming In such odd styles. A limited number of very large Jeweled buttons and broad girdlos of bullion ribbon nre seen on the more elegant of theso fine bodices, one of which Is shown in tho week's pictures, which, together with my explanatory remarks, show what the home sewer can do In the way of copying various popular styles without too much expense. Nothing could be prettier for semidress than the model Illustrated. For the over-bodice an old dress In one material may bo used, tho banding could be of plain velvet or satin ribbon, and the tucking of cheap silk. As Illustrated, tho materials are an oddly patterned silk in a pale brown, a matching gulpuro with a velvet edge, and plain net in exactly the bodice tone. Fur Hat Pins. Among tho brilliant assortment of hatpins that come In sets for the fur turban aro those which have for heads tho tiny faces of foxes. These are attached to a long steel pin and they are quite attractive on any heavy hat that is of fur or trimmod .vlth fur. PRETTY FORM OF EMBROIDERY Intended for Cambric Handkerchiefs How the Design Should Be Transferred. This border is intended to bo worked around cambric handkerchiefs, i with fine, soft embroidery cotton; tho ' scalloped edge Is In buttonhole; tho flowers and loaves in satin-stitch, tho lines in cording-stitch. To transfer the design, cut. a squaro , of white paper an Inch larger each ! way than the handkerchief; make tracings of tho design on tissue paper, then arrango them on tho paper nnd fix by mucilage. Cut the cambric the size of paper; rub a cake of black lead over the back of tho design, ßhake off tho powder that will be left then gently rub with a piece or clean rag. Put tho cambric on a drawingboard, with the design, black sldo down, over it, pin round tho edge so that neither slips, then go over tho outline of the design with a hard pencil; It should leave a cloar, flno pat tern on the cambric. Any raint places can bo marked In with a pencil. Two New Shades. It would take nn export calculator to count the different shades of gray and blue. Tho world hts given its favor to theso two colors this season. Two now names that go with tones that nre charmingly soft nnd becoming are bat gray and Heauvnis blue.

Increased Price of Elk Teeth. "During the last five years the valuo of elk teeth has more thnn trebled," said n western traveler at tho Frederic, according to the St. Paul Dispatch. "In 11)04 you could get any number of flno specimens In Idaho, Montana, Washington and bordering states for J2.50 apleco. Now you will pay from J7.60 to $10, and thoy nro hard to get for even that. Tho Apache, Sioux, Comanche and Chippewa Indians used to have dozens of them in their possession and traded them for trinkets. Hut tho redskin got wlso to

their valuo, anil you enn buy thonH from a regular doalor cheapor now than from the Indian. Tho passing of the oik and the great demand mndo by the members of tho Elk lodgs for tooth for emblems havo boosted the j price." I lue trnvoler recited an incident of an Oklnhaman who bought a robe covered with elk tooth from a Wichita Indian for $100. lie cut off tho teeth nml Hennml nn ?? "00 nn tlio ilin! t A Drama on the Street. A romnrknble coincidence occurrod at Snn Bernardino, Cal.. ono day lately, whereby a couple about to bo divorced were happily brought together again. Mrs. Walter Proston was on her way to the court to secure a divorce against her husband when her little daughter darted In tho pnth of nn onrushing motor car. Tho mothor's scroams attracted tho attention of a man who dashed In front of the machine, seized the little girl and leaped to safety as the automobilo shot by. The rescuer proved to be the husband and father. Explanations were soon mndo, and the two mnde their way to tho attorneys office, where Mrs, Preston tore up the dlcorce complaint.

Don't Weep

Some peoplo swell up on "emotion" ! browed from absolute untruth. It's an old trick of tho leaders of the Labor Trust to twist facts and make tho "sympathetic ones" "weep at the Ice house." (That's part of the tale further on.) Gompers et dl sneer at, spit upon and defy our courts, seeking sympathy by falsely telling the peoplo the courts wero trying to deprive them of free speech and free press. Men can speak freely and print opinions freely In this country and no court will object, but they cannot be allowed to print matter as part of a criminal conspiracy to injure and ruin other citizens. Gompers and his trust associates started out to ruin tho Bucks Stove Co., drive its hundreds of workmen out of work and destroy the valuo of the plant without regard to tho fact that hard earned money of men who worked, had been invested there. The conspirators wore told by tho courts to stop those vicious "trust"' methods, (efforts to break tho firm thnt won't come under trust rule), but instead of stopping they "dare" the courts to punish them and demand new laws to protect them in such destructive and tyrannical acts as they may desire to do. Tho reason Gompers and his band persisted in trying to ruin the Bucks Stove Works was because the stovo company insisted on tho right to keep some old employees a, work when "de union" ordered them discharged and somo of "do gang" put on. Now let us reverse the conditions and have a look. Suppose the company had ordered tho union to dismiss certain men from their union, nnd, tho demand being refused, should institute a boycott against that union, publish its name In an "unfair list." instruct other man ufacturers all over tho United States not to buy the labor of that union. have committees call at stores and threaten to boycott If the merchants sold anything mado by that union. Picket the factories where members work and slug thom on the way homo. blow up their housos and wreck the works, and oven murder a fow mem bers of the boycotted union to teach tiiom thoy must obey the orders of "organized Capital?" , It would certainly be fair for the company to do these things if lawful for tho Labor Trust to do thom. In such a case, undor our laws tho boycotted union could apply to our courts and tho courts would order tho company to cease boycotting and trying to ruin theso union men. Suppose thereupon tho company should sneer at tho court and in open defiance continue the unlawful acts in a persistent, carefully laid out plan, purposely Intended to ruin the union nnd forte Its members Into poverty What a howl would go tip from the union demanding that the courts protect them nnd punish their law-breaking oppressors. Then they would prniso the cou'i. "iid go on earning a living protect" ! twu ruin and happy in tho knowledge that tho people's courts could defend them. How could any of us receivo protection from law-brcakors unless tho courts havo power to, and do punish such men? The court is placed in position where it must do one thing or the otherpunish men who persist In defying its peace orders or go out of service, let anarchy reign, and the more powerful destroy the weaker. Peaceful citizens sustain tho courts ns their defenders, whereas thieves, forgers, burglars, crooks of all kinds and violont members of labor unions, hnto them nnd threaten vlolenco If their members nre punished for breaking tho law. Thoy want tho courts to lot thom go free nnd at tho samo timo demand punishment for other men "outsldo do union" when they break tho mw. Notice tho nbovo reference to "violent" members of labor unions. Tho great majority of tho "unheard" union man arc peaceable,

The noisy, violent onos get into office and the leaders of the groat Labor Trust know how to mass this kind of men, in labor conventions and thus carry out the lead ers' schemes, frequently abhorrent to the rank and file: so It was at the late Toronto convention. The paid delogates would applaud and "resolute" as Gompers wanted, but now nnd then somo of the real workingmen insist on being heard, sometimes at tho risk or their lives. Delegate Egan is reported to have said at tho Toronto convention: "If the officers of the federation would only adhere to the law wc would think a lot moro of them. The Grand Council of the Provincial Worklngmen's Ass'n of Canada has declared in favor of severing all connections with unions in tho U. S., say ing 'any union having its seat of Gov't in America, and pretending to be international in its scope, must light industrial battles at cording to American methods. Said methods havo consequences which are abhorrent to tho law-abiding people of Canada Involving hunger, misery, riot, bloodshed and murder, all of which might bo termed as a result of tho practical war now In progress In our fair provinces nnd directed by foreign emissaries of the United Miners of America. That Is an honest Canadian view of our infamous "Labor Trust" A few days ago tho daily papers printed the following: (Dy tho Associated Press.)) Washington, D. C, Nov. 10. Characterizing the attitude of Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison of tho American Federation of Labor In tho contempt proceedings In tho courts of the District of Columbia, In connection with tho Ducks' Stove nnd range company, as "a willful, premeditated violation of the law," Simon Hums, general master workman of the general assembly. Knights of Labor, has voiced a severe condemnation of theso three leaders. Mr. Hums expressed his confidence In courts In general and in thoso of the District of Columbia in particular. AITKOVM IJY DKI.EG.VTEK. This rebuko by Burns was In his annual report to tho general assembly of his organization. Ho received the hoarty approval of the delegates who heard It read at their annual meeting in this city. "There is no trust or combination of capital in the world," said Mr. Burns, "that violates laws offener than do the trust labor organizations, which resort to more dishonest, unfair .and dishonorable methods toward their competitors than any trust or combinations in tho country." Mr. Burns said the nctlon of "these so-called loaders" would bo harmful for years to come whenever attempts were mado to obtain labor legislation. "The Labor Digest," a reputable worklngman's paper, says, as part of an article entitled "The beginning of the end or Gomperslsm, many organizations becoming tired of tho rule-or-ruin policies which have boon enforced by tho president of the A. F. of L." "That ho has maintained his leadership for .so long a time in the face of his stubborn clinging to policies which the more thoughtful workingmcn have seen for yoara must be abandoned, has been on account partly or tho sentimental feeling on the part of the organizations that he ought not to bo doposed, and tho unwillingness or tho men who were mentioned for tho place, to ncccpt a nomination in opposition to him. In nddition to this, there is no denying tho shrewdness of the leader of tho A. F. of L., and his political sagacity, which has enabled him to keep a firm gtip on tho machinery of the or-, ganlzation, nnd to have his faithful henchmen In tho positions whero they could do him tho most good whenever their services might bo needed. "Further than this, ho has never failed, at the Inst conventions, to have some sensation to spring on the con ventlon at the psychological moment, which would place him In the light of a martyr to the cause of unionism, and

excite a wavo of sympathetic enthusiasm for him, which would carry the delegates off their feet, and result In his re-election. "That his long leadership, and this apparent impossibility to fill his place has gone to his head, and made him Imagine that he Is much greater a man than he really Is, Is undoubtedly the case, and nccounta for tho tactics ho has adopted in dealing with questions before congress, where he has unneces sarily antagonized men to whom organized labor must look for recogni tion of their demands, and whero labor measures are often opposed on account of this very antagonism, which would otherwise receive support. "There Is no doubt but what organized labor In this country would be much strenger with a leader who was more in touch with conditions as they actually exist, and who would bring to the front tho new policies which organized labor must adopt if it expects to even maintain its present standing, to say nothing of making future progress." o quote portions of another article, a reprint, from tho same labor paper: "Organized labor, through its leaders, must recogulze tho mistakes of tho l.ast if they expect to perpetuate their organizations or to develop tho movement which thoy head. No movement, no organization, no nation can develop beyond tho Intellects which guido these organizations, and if the leaders are dominated by a selfish motive the organization will become tinged with a spirit of selfishness, which has never appealed to mankind In any walk of life at any time since history began. "It can be said In extenuation of certain leaders of organized labor that the precarious position which they occupy as leaders has had a tendency to cause them to lose sight of tho object behind the organization. Tho natural Instinct in man for power nnd position Is in no sm.tll measure responsible for the mistakes of the leaders, not necessarily in labor unions alone, but In every branch of Eoclety. This desiro for power and leadership and personal aggrandizement causes men who havo been earnest nnd sincero in their efforts in the start to deteriorate into mere politicians whoso every act and utterance Is tinged with the desire to cater to the baser passions of the working majority in the societies or organizations nnd this is undoubtedly true wlu-n applied to tue present leaders of tho Federation of Labor. Wo mention the Federation of Labor particularly in this article, because that organization Is the only organization of labor which has yet found itself In direct opposition to the laws of the land. There aro other organizations of labor whoso leaders havo made mistakes, but they havo nlways kept themselves nnd their organizations within the bounds of tho la' and respected the rights of every other man in considering the rights of themselves and their constituency; whereas, the motto of the Federation Is just the reverse, and unless tho leaders conform themselves and their organization In accordance with tho laws of tho land, the leaders and tho organization Itself must bo disintegrated and pass into history, for In America tho common sense of mankind is developed to n greater extent than in any other nation on tho earth, and the people, who are the court of last resort In this country, will never allow any system to develop In this country which does not meet with the approval of the majority of the citizens of tho country. "This must havo forced itself upon tho leaders of tho Federation by this time. If it has not, tho leaders must be eliminated. The organization which they head has dono many meritorious things in times past and tho peoplo are always ready and willing to acknowledge tho benefits which their efforts havo brought to their constituency as a whole, but at tho present timo labor organizations in general, and tho Federation of Labor in particular, stand before the bar of public opinion, having been convicted of selfishness and a disposition to rule all the people of the country In the Interest of the few.
