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 stylos Is to bo porfectly Büro that tho odd bodlco Is to have a Etill longer and mora pronounced vogue. In fact, thero la not one coatsuit in ten that can do without it. and "what can be more helpful to the home wardrobe than two or threo separate waists in various degrees of fineness, ready to put on r.t n moment's notice with the one good skirt! JJach of the bodicoa shown in tho Pretty Model for Semi-Dress and Making Over Home Materials. shops, and which are tho counterparts of others worn by Fashion's daughters, has its own sphere of usefulness, which is to say that although almost everything is the mode, nothing can be worn with the wrong accoutrements or at the wrong momont. Tho plain, practical waist, which looks iio neat with a simple coat suit, and even smart, will seem a rag If worn with finer dress, while the chifTon bodice with tinsel touches, gay girdle jind jeweled buttons will seem as much out of place if worn with the plainer gown. COMBINES SCARF AND MUFF Novel 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 the 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 horn of a Eklrt. Buckles hold In tho lower edges of each sldo, and heavy fringe hangs from these. Thus fnr this Is a beautiful shoulder acarf. But when the weather Is cold and the hands of the owner need the comfortable wnrmth of a muff, It la there for tho hooking. The lower ends are doubled up and hooked under tho upper buckles. A fringed muff Is the result. Tho combination Is clever nnd pleasing. Flowered Silks. One of tho old-time revivals In fabrics Is the white or gray pompadour Bilk with Immonse bouquots of flowers sprinkled over the surface. These are often Joined by floating ends of Nattier bluo ribbon. The material makes Into quaint dinner frocks nnd gowns for elaborate afternoon affairs when one receives or pours tea. The fashions of that tlmo can be followed 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 Uie hips and a deep, shallow, square neck edged with a frill of lace. If one wenrB a hat with such a gown it should be broad-brimmed and turned up flat at ono side. Making Nursery Toilet a Treat. Kate Greonaway clothes racks are delightful bits of furniture for tho nursery. Tho llttJe brass hooks for Btnall garments are arranged on a tall pole, at tho top of which is a cunning hit of a house. All the way up tho polo winds a painted path with tiny Kate Grcenaway figures at Intervals; and a "story" during the droBsing hour will often keep a frnctlous child ns still as a mouso in absorbed attention. Tho Btory will, of course, bo all about the llttlo Kate Greonaway kiddles climbing up to tho house at tho too of tho pole.

' Yet one simple bodlco is much to tho fore for elegant usos, and this la I tho scantily made waist of chiffon, or

embroidered cropo, or mossallno, which is now provldod for tho handsomer street suits of coat and skirt Evon whon heavily oinbroldorod, as such waists bo often are. or decorated with fragilo wroaths of needlework botwoon open ontro-deux, even when they aro a mass of fine tucks, tho effect Is one of such extreme restraint that you can only use the word simple for tbeso bodices. Tho close fitting and scant cut of tho models has a good deal to do with causing this effect; and In order that the coat may sit still more flatly, trimmings are all fiat- The result is a gracious modesty, which, in reality, is the outcomo of the hlghost art. Few of these close fitting and most charming bodices are lined, though soino are about the shoulders. To facllltate the snug tit of the skirt about tho waist, the tali of the bodice is often cut off and a shaped bias tail, somo threo Inches In width, applied thero. This holds the bodlco down all around, without giving the bungle that tho tall proper would give. Among the cheaper bodices for coatsuits there are some very good plain models In moire silk and wool which clever women sometlmos buy and smnrtcn up in some little way at home. With the dressier bodices, thoso for high day-dross and evening use. models are often odd in the extreme, a single one sometimes showing three differont sorts of over-trimming. Sometimes these bodices seem a deal too fussy for good taste, and the various quartorings made by the models may give the body a contracted patchy look, but the slim figures that can wear them look charming in such odd styles. A limited number of very large Jeweled buttons and broad girdles of bullion ribbon are seen on the more elegant of these line bodices, one of which is shown in the 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 semidrees than the model illustrated. For the over-bodice an old dress in one material may be used, the banding could be of plain velvet or satin ribbon, and tho tucking of cheap silk. As illustrated, the materials are an oddly patterned silk in a pole brown, a matching guipure with a velvet edge, and plain not In exactly the bodice tone. Fur Hat Pins. J Among tho brilliant assortment of hatpins that come in sots for the fur turban are those which have for heads the tiny face of foxes. These are attached to a long steel pin and they are quite attractive on any heavy hat that i3 of fur or trimmed with fur. PRETTY FORM OF EMBROIDERY Intended for Cambric Handkerchiefs How the Design Should Be Transferred. ' I This border is Intended to be worked around cambric handkerchiefs. ' with line, soft embroidery cotton; tho scallopod edge is In buttonhole; tho flowers and leaves In satin-stitch, tho linos In cordlng-atltch. To transfer the design, cut a square of white paper an Inch larger each way than the handkerchief; make tracings of the design on tissue paper. then arrange them on the papor and tlx by mucilage. Cut the cambric tho size of paper; rub a cake of black lead over tho back of the design, shake off the powder that will be left then gently rub with a piece of clean rag. Put the cambric on a drawingboard, with the design, black sldo down, over It, pin round the edge sb that neither slips, then go over tho outline of the design with n hard pencil; it should leave a clear, flno pat tern on the cambric. Any falnl places can be marked In with a pencil. Two New Shades. It would take an expert calculator to count the different shados of gray and blue.

Increased Price of Elk teeth. "During the last live years the value of elk teeth has more tbnn trebled," said a western traveler at tho Fredric, according to tho SL Paul Dispatch. "In 1901 you could get any number of fine specimens In Idaho, Montana. Washington and bordering states for $2.50 apleco. Now you will pay from $7.50 to $10, and they aro hard to get for oven thaL The Apache, Sioux, Comanche and Chippewa Indians usod to havo dozens of them in their possession and traded them for trinkets. But the redskin got wise to

their value, and you can buy thorn from a regular dealer cheaper now than from the Indian. The passing of the elk and the great demand mado by the members of the Elk lodge for teeth for emblems have boosted the , price." i The traveler recited an incident of an Oklalioman who bought a robe cor- j srod with elk teeth from a Wichita Indian for $100. He cut off the teeth and cleaned up $2.200 on the deal. A Drama on the Street. A roniarkablo coincidence occurrod at San Bernardino. Cal., one day lately, whereby a couplo about to be divorced were happily brought together again. Mrs. Walter Preston was on her way to the court to secure a divorce against her husband when her little daughter darted In the path of an onrushing motor car. The mother's screams attracted the attention of a man who dashed in front of the machine, seized the little girl and leaped to safoty as the automobile shot by. The rescuer proved to be the husband and father. Explanations were soon made, and the two made thoir way to the attorney's office, where Mrs. Preston tore up the dlforce complaint.

Don't Weep

Somo people swell up on "emotion" browed from absolute untruth. It's an old trick of the leaders of the Labor Trust io twist facts and make the "sympathetic ones" "weep at the Ice house." (That's part of the tale further on.) Gompers ct aJ sneer aL spit upon and defy our courts, seeking sympathy by falsely telling the people the courts were 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 bo 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 the Bucks Stove Co., drive its huadreds of workmen out of work and destroy the value of the plant without regard to the fact that hard earned money of men who workod, had been invested there. The conspirators were told by the courts to stop those vicious "trust" methods, (efforts to break the firm that 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. The reason Gompers and his band persisted in trying to ruin the Bucks Stove Works was because the stove company insisted on tho right to keep some old employees a', work when "de union" ordered them discharged and some of "de gang" put on. Now let us reverse the conditions and have a look. Suppose the company had ordered the union to dismiss certain men from their union, and, the demand belüg refused, should institute a boycott against that union, publish its name in an "unfair list." Instruct other manufacturers all over the United States not to buy the labor of that union, have committees call at stores and threaten to boycott if the merchants sold anything made by that union. Picket the factories where members work and slug them on the way home, blow up their houses and wreck tho works, nnd even murder a few members of the boycotted union to toach tuem they must obey the orders of "organized Capital?" It would cerjalnly be fair for the company to do theso things if lawful for tho Labor Trust to do them. In such a case, under our Jaws the boycotted union could ppply to our courts and the courts would order the company to cease boycotting and trying to ruin these union men. Suppose thereupon the company should sneer at the court and In open defiance continue the unlawful acts in n persistent, carefully laid out plan, purposely intended to ruin the union and force its members Into poverty What a howl would go up from the union demanding that the courts pro- , ing oppressors. Then they would praise the courts and go on earning a ! living protected from ruin and happy j in tho knowledge that the people's I courts could defend them. How could any of us receive protec- ! Hon 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 other punish 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 the courts as their defenders, whereas thieves, forgers, burglars, crooks of all kinds nnd violent members of labor unions, hate them nnd threaten violence if their members are punished for breaking tho law. They want the courts to let them go free nnd at the same tirno demand punishment for other men "outside do union" when they break the law. Notice the above reference to "violent" members of labor unions. Tho groat majority of the "unheard" union tnea aro peaceable,

Tho noisy, violent ones get into office and the leaders of the great Labor Trust know how to mass this kind of men. in labor conventions and thus carry out the leaders' schemes, frequently abhorrent to the rank and file: so It was at the late Toronto convention. The paid delegates would applaud and "resolute" as Gompers wanted, but now and then some of the real workingmen Insist on being heard, sometimes at the risk of their lives. Delegate Egan is reported to have said at the Toronto convention: "If the officers of the federation would only adhere to the law we would think a lot more of them." The Grand Council of the Provincial Workingmen's Ass'n of Canada has declared in favor of severing all connections with unions in tho U. S., saying "any union having Its seat of Gov't in America, and pretending to he international in Its scope, must fight industrial battles according to American methods. Said methods havo consequences which are abhorrent to the law-abiding people of Canada involving hunger, misery, riot, bloodshed and murder, all of which might bo termed as a result of the practical war now in progress in our fair provinces and 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: (By the 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 the contempt proceedings in the courts of the District of Columbia, In connection with the Bucks' Stove and range company, as "a willful, premeditated violation of the law," Simon Burns, general master workman of the general assembly. Knights of Labor, has voiced a severe condemnation of these three leaders. Mr. Burns expressed his confidence in courts in general and In those of the District of Columbia in particular. Arrnovr-u m deleoatts. This rebuke by Burns was in his annual report to the general assembly of his organization. He received the hearty 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. Hums, "that violates laws oftencr than do tho 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 tho action of "theso so-called leaden" would be harmful for years to come whonever attempts were made to obtain labor legislation. "The Labor Digest," a reputable worklngman's paper, says, as part of an article entitled "The beginning of the end of Gompersism. many organizations becoming tired of tho rule-or-ruin policies which have been enforced by tho president of the A. F. of L." "That he has maintained his leadership for bo long a tlmo In the face of his stubborn clinging to policies which the more thoughtful workingmen have seen for years must be abandoned, has been on account partly of the sentimental feeling on the part of tho organizations that ho ought not to be deposed, and the unwillingness of the men who were mentioned for the place, to accept a nomination in opposition to him. In addition to this, there is no denying tho shrewdness of tho leader of tho A. F. of L., and his political sagacity, which has enabled him to keep a firm grip on the machinery of the organization, and to havo his faithful henchmen In the positions where they could do him tho most good whenever their services might bo needed. "Further than this, ho has never failed, at tho last conventions, to have some sensation to spring on the convention at the psychological moment, which would place him in the light of a martyr to the cause of unionism, and

excite a wave of sympathetic enthusiasm for him, which would carry the delegates off their feet, and result in his re-election. "That his long leadership, nnd this apparent impossibility to fill his place has gone to his head, and made him imagine that he is much greater n man than he really is, Is undoubtedly the case, and accounts for tho tactics he has adopted in dealing with questions before congress, where he has unnecessarily antagonized men to whom organized labor must look for recognition of their demands, and where 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 stronger with a leader who was more in touch with conditions as they actually exist, nnd who would bring to the front the new policies which organized lnbor must adopt if it expects to even mnintain its present standing, to say nothing of making future progress." We quote portions of another article, a reprint, from the same lnbor paper: "Organized labor, through its loaders, must recognize the mistakes of the l ast if they expect to perpetuate their organizations or to develop the movement which they head. No movement, no organization, no nation can develop beyond the intellects which guide these organizations, and If the leaders are dominated by a selfish motive tho organization will become tinged with a spirit of selfishness, which has never appealed to mankind in any walk of life at any tlmo since history began. "It can be said in extenuation of certain leaders of organized labor that tho precarious position which they occupy as leaderr. has had a tendency to cause them to lose sight of the object behind tho organization. The natural instinct In man for power and position Is in no small measure responsible for the mistakes of tho leaders, not necessarily in labor unions alone, but In every branch of society. This desire for power and leadership and personal aggrandizement causes men who havo been earnest and slncero In their efforts In tho start to deteriorate Into mere politicians whose every act and utterance Is tinged with the desire to cater to the baser passions of the working majority In tho societies or organizations and this is undoubtedly true when applied to the present leaders of tho Federation of Labor. Wo mention tho Federation of Labor particularly in this article, because that organization is tho only organization of labor which has yet found Itself In direct opposition to the laws of the land. Thero nre other organizations of labor whoso leaders have mado mistakes, but they have always kept themselves and their organizations within tho bounds of the law nnd respected the rights of every other man in considering tho 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 the land, the leaders and tho organization itself must be disintegrated nnd pass into history, for in America tho common sense of mankind Is developed to a grenter extent than In any other nntlon on the earth, and tho people, who aro the court of last resort in this country, will never allow any system to develop In this country which does not meet with tho npprovnl of tho majority of tho citizens of tho country. "This must havo forced itself upon tho leaders of tho Federation by this time. If It has not, the leaders must bo eliminated. The organization which they head has done many meritorious things in times pnst and tho people aro always ready nnd willing to acknowledge tho benefits which their ofTorts havo brought to their constituency as a whole, but at the present tlmo labor organizations in general, nnd tho Federation of Labor In particular, 6tand before the bar of public opinion, having been convicted of selfishness and a disposition to rule all tho people of the country in the Interest of the few.

Lot tho peoplo remember that comment", "The Federation of Labor in particular stands before tho bar of puMto opinion having been convicted of rilshness and a disposition to rule all tho people of tho country In the interest of the few." Tho great 90 per cent of Americans do not take kindly to the acts of tyranny of theso trust leaders op-nly demanding that all people bow down o tho rules of tho Labor Trust and wo nre treated to the humiliating sjf uclo of our Congress and even the ih f Executive entertaining these convhf'-d law-breakers nnd listening with consideration to their Insolent demands that the very laws bo changed to allow them to safely carry on their plan of gaining control over the affairs of tho people. The sturdy workers of America havo come to know tho truth about .h..;o "martyrs sacrificing themselves la tho noble cause of labor" but It's only tho hysterical ones who swell up nnd cry over tho aforesaid "heroes," reminding one of the two romantic elderly maids who, weeping copiously, were discovered by tho old janitor at Mt. Vernon. "What is it alls you ladies?" Taking tho handkerchief from ono swollen red eye, between sobs she said : "Why we have so long revered tho memory of George Washington that wo feel it a privilege to come here and weep at his tomb.' "Yns'm, yas'm, yo' shore has a deslro to express yo' sympathy but yo' aro ovnrflowin at do wrong spot, yo' la weepln' at do Ico house." Don't get maudlin about law-breakers who must bo punished If the very exlstenco of our peoplo Is to bo maintained. If you havo any surplus sympathy it can be extended to the honest workers who continuo to earn food when threatened nnd are frequently hurt and sometimes killed before tho courts can Intervene to protect them. Now the Labor Trust leaders demand of Congress that tho courts bo stripped of power to issue Injunctions to prevent them from assaulting or perhaps murdering men who dare earn a living when ordered by tho Labor Trust to quit work. Don't "weep at the Ico House" and don't permit any set of law-breakers to bully our courts, If your voice and voto can prevent.
