Young girls do not wear long dresses
with propriety; their gowns should
barely touch the floor behind. Their
skirts should be made perfectly plain in
front, but full enough behind to hang
gracefully, It is most thoroughly in &C
cord with the fashion of the hour to
choose fabrics wide enough to be made
with only one seam and that behind.
Slippers and gloves are chosen careful
ly to match the color of the dress. The
tan tints that ruled so long with toilets
of any and every description are now
hardly seen; blue gloves, green gloves
or even pink gloves are accepted by
foolish folk fashionable in preference.
With long sleeves two-buttoned gloves
are the best form, but with elbow
sleeves the world of frills and furbelows
still smiles on mousquetaires.
It gives one a sense Of passing to
something tangible and substantial to
turn from crepes and gauzes to the
nuffling furs that bid defiance to jan
uary out of doors. Last year at this
season every other woman stalked
along, stiff, ungraceful and most uncom-
Portable, buried to her ears in a tall,
black collar This winter, fortunately
since it is mild one but not, experience
teaches, because it is mild one, all
the collars turn down. Soft beaver is
the favorite fur with women who
choose things at once of beauty
and of moderate cost, or feecy
black goatskin. Astrachan is not es-
pecially popular, but see a good
deal of mink and, of course, much
royalty beautiful and much hideous
sable. There are few other furs which
present such differences Of quality.
Fine sable is the finest fur known, but
poor sable, which many women buy
and pay good prices for, is a poor fur.
There's wonderful amount of green

the new pure substitute for
lard. Cottolene is simply
pure cottonseed oil and
pure beef suet, two of the
healthiest foods known.
Properly combined they
are better than lard for all
kinds of shortening, and
everyone can eat, digest,
and enjoy food cooked with
it. Food that was indiges-
tible when cooked with
lard is easily digested when
cooked with Cotto1ene, and
many of the leading house

they can make nicer bread,

let Divorce on Again.

Judge Kelly is engaged in hearing the
action begun by Emily B. Haslet against
Hollis M. Haslet for limited divorce.
The basis of the divorce is wilful deser-
tion and lack of support. She also asks
for $50 per month alimony. The hus-
band is locomotive engineer on the
Omaha road, and earns $50 per month
n suit for absolute divorce was tried by
Judge Otis several months ago, and the
application denied for the reason that it
was not quite clear that the husband had
done the desertlOn wiltully as alleged.
The wife claims to be in poor health
and unable to support herself and two
half-grOwn children. and has made
efforts in Wisconsin to get hold of her
husband when his train passed through
a section of that state, but in this she
has been unsuccessful. In Wisconsin
the law requires the husband to support
his wife under any circumstances,
whether living with him or not. This
is not the provision of law in this state,
and. as the husband succeeded in evad-
ing proceedings in that state, she re-
newed her efforts in this state to secure
alimony. Both husband and wife are
gray headed. They have not lived hap

In the sylvan shades of lnver Grove

grand groves of forest trees are sur

power. People who have lived there
nearly lifetime tell of delightful inf1u-

communities OF its Size can there be
found a larger proportion of spirit

In this SeQuestered spot the islands of the
Mississippi rise high and dry above all
danger of floods. Elegant trees, 100 feet
and more in height. sigh sweetlv when
the summer winds disturb their flutter-
ing leaves. Gay song birds sing both
night and day, and the purple glow of
sunset makes the evening sky as beauti-
ful as any landscape of Italy. A skep-
tic In spiritualism might say that the
magnetic. influences which pervade
these gladeS come from the currents of
air that cross and counter each other in
sweeping through the numerous chan
neis or the river, generating electricity
on their way. The faithful spirituaiist
KNOWS that forces of more power than
common electricity produce these SUBJ

gate the human will to the influence of
the spirit.
The savages of the Mississippi sought
these Islands for their spirit dances.

ground they invoke the aid and con-
