Two years ago eight ladies in Mil

needed a new hail. They organized
themselves into sewing society and
went to work. At the end of the year,
having given several entertainments at
4 schooIhouse in addition TO the sew-
ing, they had Si25. With this as
nest egg, they hired the rest and began
on building. As soon as the build
ing was boarded, though yet without
doors OF windows, they set up a cake
and ice cream counter one night last
August on a carpenters bench, and
added TO their store. In September a
good floor had be. n laid and tn V held
a dance. This netted 500 Since then
two or three dances have been held
each month, each of which has netted
At least S25. Now the hall il finished
on the outside, though the inside, with
the exception of the floors, is yet in
rough state. II has cost about $1,000,
and the present debt il about half that
sum- A furnace has been put in at
q cost of SIS5, and kitchen and din
ing room in the basement have been
furnished with stove, dishes, tables,
lamps, etc. The women are well
pleased with their success.

A veil 10 a necessity TO the woman
who cares for appearance. In the
first place, il saves washing the face,
and in the next place keeps the dust
and wind from the hair. Miss Halo
well. who spends six months of every
year collecting art works from Ameri-
can and European studios for the Chi
cago Exposition, is never without
veil. "If / didn't wear one" she
says, al should waste all nv time
washing my face and combing my
hair. As my time is very precious /
put my hat and veil on when | get up
in the morning, and keep them on
until night" The Hading veil was
short lived, for the reason that phe-
nomenal beauty or pronounced paint
WAS necessary 10 peer through its
gloom. The idea, however, suggested
the wire veil, the novelty of the stock,
which is nothing more than a semi
circle of point d'esprit gathered on
tine wire by means of which II can be
adjusted TO any hat crown or bonnet
frame. No pins ara needed. All one
has to do is TO pinch the wire and it
stays where it is placed.
