took to reach Broad street station, and
received the comforting reply: Some

collecting fares, when suddenly the old

cording to his watch. The arbitrator
of that special cars destiny pulled
out his large timekeeper, looked

that portrait had for the moment blOtted

Nothing Has Been Done With
George Peters.
County Treasurer Bloomer, who has
been seriously ill for nearly week, is
improving, and he will soon be able to
resume his duties, unless unfavOrable
symptoms set in.
Attorney Searles, when asked in re-
gard to the Peters matter Saturday
evening, said that he did not contem-
plate making any new move in the case
whatever until he finished several civil
suits in the district court this week. He
thinks that Judge Williston, of the dis
trict court, may decide that he has Juris-
dictlon in the matter and may order
him taken to Rochester. The Peters
case is a complicated one, and If Judge
Williston decides that the district court
has no jurisdiction, special legislation
may be necessary to insure his lncar-
ceration in an insane asylum. Many
have had an idea that he would be
turned loose, but there is no danger OF
that, inasmuch as an Indictment for
murder in the first degree hangs over
his head.

SOAP FOR THE COMPLEXION.
Absolute Cleanliness Cannot Be
Secured Without 1t.

So much theorizing is being done in
regard to the care of the complexion
that want to send in plea to discard
all these cosmetics, face masks, washes,
messages, etc, and urge you to first try
keeping lies plain clean."
A new theory has been started with
regard TO the use of soap on the face.
Women who for years have been care
full of their complexion would never,
under any circumstances, wash the face
with soap, as it was sald to rOughen and
coarsen the skin. Now, this idea is eX-
ploded and a Well-knOWn physician
in the metropolitan profession recon-
mends his women patients to use 1t
freely every day, lathering the skin
we'll.
Of course, a fine, oily. and pure soap
is most desirable. This being secured
he states none but the most beneficial
results will be affected by his method of
improving the skim He holds-with
considerable plauSibility that the pores
of the face become as much clogged by
grease and dirt as the hands or any
other portion of the body. And If soap
is considered a necessary purifier in the
bath, its need must be felt equally on
The face.
BY an abundant and regular lathering
the facial pores, he claims, are kept
open, free from the clogging matter
that produces unsightly blackheads and
pimpes; and pure, healthy, fresh and
bright complexion is the result. Not
mincing matters, he says, the trouble
with most women who have sallow,
pasty skins is that from years end to
years end they never have really
clean face.
An article published in Good House
keeping says: Hands kept dirty and
never smooth and white. Absolute
cleanliness is necessary. Many people
who do not work seldom wash their
hands. The days accumulation of dirt
is allowed to remain on the hands all
night. Upon rising the hands are
! washed in cold water; then the posses

work, her hands do not look any better

MAKING CLOTHES WHITE.
How to Do 1t When They Must Be
Dried Indoors.

Dried indoors.
To have the household linen white
and spotless above reproach is one of
the pet ambitions of the housewife. The
sheets must be snowy, the napery
glistening from very whiteness, aud
the linen of the good man of the house
must be such as to please even the most
fastidiouS masculine eye.
But how is this to be accomplished
when there is snow OF the ground and
the temperature Is so icy that even a
few hours of exposure causes the clothes
line with its precious burden to become
icy and stiff? Is there not danger that
the finer pieces of clothing will break or
be injured in fabric by the frost?
To dry the family wash indoors is
really then the only way to do when
Washdays chance to fall in particularly
unpleasant weather. And if the laun-
dress understands "just how" she can
do this without having the fact at all
apparent that her washing was dried in
the kitchen by the fire instead Of being
exposed to the beneficent influences of
the sun and air.
The first precaution which must be
taken when clothes must be dried III
doors is to have the water very hot.
Even the rinsing water must be of just
as high temperature as can be borne by
the hands of the laundress. No soap
should be rubbed on the clothes, but IN
place OF it, piece of soap should be
finely shaven and dissolved in the
water before even the clothes are put in.
The bluing water should be very blue to
counterfeit the yellowing tendencies OF
the soap, and the clothes should be thor
oughly wrung out before they are put
into it. But the most important step in
this really satisfactory process lies in
the preparation of the rinSing water. AS
has been stated, this should be very hot.
When it has been drawn iuto the tub
and while it is still steaming, pour i'll
about two tablespoonful of good am
, monia. This whitens the clothes won
derfulIy, and does not injure them in
the least.
They may now be dried either in the
hot kitchen or in the cold stOreroom, and
| they are sure to be white whatever way
| they are treated.
Try this way of washing, good house
wife, and see if you are not pleased
with the result.

GETTING y PHOTO.

Every other woman has her picture
taken Just before Christmas, usually to
be given as present to dear Charlie"
Or some other dear. My friend Emily

had presented her husband with every
hing from a dressing gown to pipe.
She had racked her brain for new idea
This year, ana finally settled upon hay

innate friend, was invited to sustain
her through the trying ordeal.
Her decision was arrived at SO late in

photographers had promised more work
that they could possibly finish, so we
were compelled 10 go to small place

LATEST MODES.
Correct Hints for Woman's Mid
winter Apparel.

WILMA &APPNAO'
Colored velvet is in great favor.
Scarcely any dress of WOODEN material
is without some trimmings or accessor-
les of velvet, either matching or con-
trasting with it.
The new evening silks principally
show line stripes on shot-watered
ground, which, like the chameleon, is
many colors. Velvets, silks. woolens,
gauzes--everything is shot this season.
In freshenng up black silk gown,
full sleeves, collar and broad revers or
shaded velvet are used by the best
dresSmakers.
The fashionable mink-tail trimming
that was so popular at the beginning OF
the season is already practically out of
the market. the supply OF this little
animals tails being entirely exhausted.
The beautifully embroidered band
trimmings for dresses for all occasions
are extremely fashionable, and likely to
continue so. The embroidery is exc
cuted in Byzantine, Turkish and Persian
styles. with colored metal and gold and
silver thread.
Red is very much the fashion, and
seems to have a growing vogue. While
many persons have decided antipathy
to this color, on a drear, gray day in
winter some of the richer shades really
have tonic effect.
The new blouse gown, falling In
straight natural folds from the neck, has
given al impetus to stripes, and one OF
the best silks for this purpose has
white satin ground, with diagonal
woven stripe in mauve or blue at inter
val of one and half inches, inclosing
infnitesmal sprays of white brocade
and small, colored flowers. For young
girls either silk gauze or pearl garnlture
forms the best trimmings.
The high empire belt of folded velvet
is liked. not only on bodices, but on
heavy cloth long coats or cloaks.
! One of the prettiest evening bonuets
| is tiny square made of gold spangles;
it is so arranged that the point of the
| square comes just in front. Here is
placed white satin ribbon rOsette, out
of which spring two tiny white wings.
With the usual French thought for the
complexion, the ties are of black velvet
| ribbon.
Millinery Is excessively smart just
now. Lace and fur add their richness
to many elegant hats and bonnets.
French bonnets of the most diminutive
size are made of rich-toned velvets,
trimmed with silk guipure lace and jew
eled clasps and pins. Glace and pale
tinted velvet capotes to wear far back
upon the head are edged with roll o f
fur and trimmed with iridescent passe-
menterie, gem-set arrows and feather
aigrettes. Some of the crowns of
stylish velvet round hats are
studded with mock jewels. A fiat di-
rectoire bonnet from Virot has the
slashed crown of black velvet, lifted
here and there to show vivid green
lining. 1t is caught up with punches of
magenta-colored roses, surrounded by
velvet leaves. The Drim is edged with
SPRAYS of shaded velvet maiden-hatr
fern, sparkling with bits OF green
glass, resembling drops of dew. Blue
aud green are constantly combined in
millinery. as in dress, special shades
being selected. Ii they do not. so to
speak, assimilate, the result is d1sas-
| irons.
