A Girls Clever Game.

Here is the latest in the way of
bright game as told by clever girl:
First, she wrote down all the names of
her guests on slips of paper and put
them in a hat. The hat was passed
around and each person drew SHIP
Each one in turn Gas to go out of the
room and. on entering it again, person
ate the man or woman whose name ne
had drawn. The other guests were then
to guess the name. Some OF the llnper-
senators were so clever at catching the
mannerislns and phrases of their friends
that the others guessed almost instantly
who the original was. But, besides a
genius for originality in the author OF
this idea. it demands a genius for COM
mon sense and kindly feeling on the
part of the players in the game. for
any touch OF unfriendliness or ridicuie'
or of anything that would put one Pang
into the pure fun of the occasion, would
spoil it all And SO, you see, the very
ability to play it successfully becomes
kind of touchstone of character.-ehl-

HOW TO GUT VELVET.
A Simple Suggestion for the Uninitiated
Dressmaker.

A Simple Suggestion for the Uninitiated
Dressmaker.
The amateur dressmaker has usually
a number of petty worries, and one
special to her is the cutting of velvet
As it is used so much, even on cotton
costumes, it is necessary that she should
know just how it should be done.
Dressmallers prefer to cut velvet with
the pile running up, for Their it doesn't
fatten down from wear: however, no
matter what way you may cut it, at
least to have it all alike.
When YOU cut any figured or floral
design do rot make the mistake of
cutting two pieces at once, as is often
done with plain goods; the figures and
stripes should always match perfectly,
and this is not possible when two sec
tions are cut together.
About velvet folds. Don't rely on
having the last ones the right size by
LAYING the first one on the material and
following its outlines; the result viii be
waste of fabric and irregular folds
The same care in measuring must be
taken with each one, and it is not wise
to rely on the eye for exactness, but to
mark the line with chalk and then to
cut it.
1t is most desirable to put braid on by
hand: hem it down, because then it will
not curl up at the sides. Do not put it
on very tight, as it draws and looks
very ugly.
Never tear lawns or cambrics: it rolls
the edges. Draw thread and then cut
the widths.
Do not under any circumstances make
a bodice that fits you like tight glove.
1t is not good to look at, and it will GER
tainlv stretch at the seams and ravel
and proclaim that it was made by some
one who didn't understand the art of
dressmalling.-N. Y. Sun.

Faith and Hope are twin sisters anu

MEASURING LAND,

Three Devices Which Enable Every Farm

In Bad Business.

A certain Milford farmer has been in
bad business. Recently he sold some
wheat to the Empire Mill and received
a wheat check, which called for pay
ment for No. 3 wheat. He kept the
check for some time, and before pre-
senting it at the mill office changed the
grade of wheat to No. 2. The altera-
ton was noticed however, and the at
tention of the shrewd farmer, who was
nevertheless not quite smooth enough,
was called to the check. To avoid further
trouble he confessed to his wrong doing
and paid the difference, which amount
ed to 1923 and some cents. This is letting
him of easy, but for tear it might go
harder with him q second time, he had
better cease the business or better his
art of changing figures.

Sale Of the City Drugstore.

On Friday it was announced that the
City Drugstore had been sold by g. Z.
Roos to Messrs Kiesel and Henningser
of Glencoe. The report was confirmed
by Mr.. Roos, and to it was added the
statement that the new proprietors
would take charge about the middle Of
April. Thus there was effected bust.
ness transfer that will rank among the
most prominent in the history of New
Ulm business circles. The store has
always been popular one, and under
the management of Mr.. Roos has been
numbered amongst the principal busi-
ness houses of the city. In leaving it,
he does so to devote his attention ex-
clusively to the milling business, in
which, as in the drugstore, the best
wishes Of large number of patrons
will be with him.
The purchasers are enterprising
young men, both of them, with large
experience in the drug business. In
locating in New Ulm, a cordial vel.
come will be extended to them, and
there is no reason why they should not
succeed. -...~.
