ieve that we are lovely in gown that
may have hundred shortcomings. As
long as one does not know that her dress
looks old, or that her gloves show traces
Of the frequent cleanings OF her shoes
are frayed, she may be happy; but if she
does learn those unhappy facts what
does she not suffer! She is at odds with
herself and the world, including even her
sweetheart. So let us hope that every
girl can have dress for balls as hand
some as the one which present this
week. This gown was imported from
Paris all done up in tissue paper and
oiled silk.
1t is of rich orange colored satin and
white china Grape. The train is of satin,
and SO are the corsage and sleeves The
Grape is drawn across the bust in an eff
fective and graceful style and outlined
with double rows of wax pearl beads. and
a fringe of the same hangs from the
lower edge
The front of the skirt is laid in knife
plating from top to bottom, but is held
by band Of Persian embroidery. on
which are posed four punches of flowers
with their foliage. Below this is a row
of beads. with festoons of pearl beads
that hang loosely The corsage is the

Very many of the now bell shaped and
full skirted gowns have from one to
three reeds or fiat steel hoops run in cas-
ings to make them set out around the
bottom. 1t has been tried Systematically
every fall and winter for five years to
make us take to hoops again. but so far
the American women have managed to
keep out of their ungraceful folds. Still
they may find themselves obliged to
wear them, or be considered out of style.
While making a periodical visit to a
large importing house a few days ago
found several new ideas in various
things, and one of them was a wonder
fully dainty and ladylilze gown of gray
tricotin, bound with black MORE. The
basque was cut in turrets, and this also
had binding of the same. and the bind
ing was wadded SO that it was nearly
round. which gave it a novel and stylish
effect. The putfs to the sleeves and the
lapels and collar were of gray blue vel
vet bound in the same manner This is
happy medium between exaggerated
fashion and refined taste.

In a single day-and before the OPEN

Treasurer Seeburger will show very
tidy sum to the credit Of the enterprise
as a result of this wise and sensible wide
open policy.
Probably many of those that are now
witnessing dress rehearsal Of the won

upon the enterprise in its fruition. Very
many of them may have passed to still
more wonderful country before the
cutting blasts from across Lake Michi-
gan have become tempered by the rays of
a May day sun. Others will be scattered
to the four corners of the hemisphere,
and a second trip to Chicago will be out
of the question.
Still others may be on beds of sick
ness and pain, and as they read in the pa
pers how big was the crowd of the day
before, how elaborate the celebration,
how enjoyable the exercises, their minds
win go back to the visit in these cold
December days, and they will feel all the

New YORK, Dec. 29.@To those accus-
toned to the spreading and well kept to-
bacco fields of America the cultivation
of tobacco in Sumatra is a revelation.
The tobacco growing districts are almost
a jungle, consisting of trees and thick
underground This is cleared in a per-
functory manner by blazing right
through the track selected, and then
starting scrub fire. What burns up
remains as ashes, what is half burned is
left lying where it is, and in the widely
dispersed clear patches Of varying size
the cody plants the young tobacco,
carefully transplanted from seed beds or
nurseries.
The care and labor bestowed upon the
culture of the tobacco is infinite. The
young plants are tended like children.
Green boughs are placed over them to
shade them, and every morning the
plants must be cleared of insects, etc.
Before dawn one can often see these in
defatigable workers in the field, looking
like firebugs with their twinkling Ian
terms Eternal vigilance is the price of
the maximum salary, for each cody is
given just so much seed and is paid an
equivalent to eight dollars per thousand
for the actual number of plants pro-
duced. Day and night the cody tends
his '.trees" until they are cut down, sixty
or ninety days after planting, when they
are carried to tile drying house, where
he sorts his little crop into sizes, hands
it up and attaches his account to it.

Destroyed by Fire ana Again
 at Work

The Price Baking Powder Com pany of Chicago, which is known throughout the country for the superior excellence of it's Baking Powder, met with serious loss on the morning of May 18th, in the nearly total destruction by fire of it's factory and offices. No sooner had the flames been subdued than the work of restoration commenced, and the Company by prudent fore sight, having had stored in outside warehouses duplicate machinery, labels and supplies of raw materials in preparation for any emergency was enabled by energetic manage ment to resume manufacturing within a very few days after the fire, thereby causing it's customers but a trifling delay in the filling of their orders. Had the Company not been so prepared the delay would have been very serious since it would have required months of time to get new ma chinery.
 It is now forty years since the goods manufactured by this com pany were first placed on the market, to Dr. Price being due the distinction of having prepared the first can of Cream of Tartar Baking Powder ever manufactured in any country. It was a great discovery, superseding as it did the old method of using cream of tar tar and soda separately, to say nothing of saleratus, with which the biscuit of early days was embittered.
 The Price Company has no con- nection whatever with any other baking powder company or manu- facturer, notwithstanding repre- sentations to the contrary made by other manufacturers whose sole aim is to deceive the public and borrow the good name and fame acquired by the Price Cream Bak- ing Powder, which is known all over the world as the purest and "most perfect made"
