work of a lady's maid.
The matter of stringing ribbons
through the underclOthes is quickly
learned But the mode here must be
followed All underwear is white as
snow now Silk nighties, silk under
wear for night. silk draperies and the
numberless little silk things which Wo-
men have been stringing upon their
necks and heads at nights are all BAN
ished. In their place there is linen
gown. fine, sheer and rich with en-
broidery or real lace, and an underYest
of the same. Sheets are white, not
black or blue, and though the over
coverlid may be colored if you so de-
sire. it is more fanciful to have all white
now. The lady's maid soon gets the
etiquette of these things and learns 10
buy them for her mistress.
Pretty at-hOme dresses are DelIg
planned by the quantity. One or two
street dresses and few dinner gowns
are enough if one has plenty OF pretty
things for the house evenings and Tor
the at-home dinners.
The lady's maid soon learns about
the skirt of a dress. She at glance
learns to tell if the waist is past re-
demption and how to make the sklrt
pretty. Without altering the hang OF a
skirt she will trim it and make 1T a
new one. With small bits OF colored
silk or floss or cord she will twist and
turn the material until 1t makes neat
little figure. All day she will work I'M
til she has lapful of these trimmings
An hours time sews them, and there
is a new and pretty skirt for her mis-
tress to wear at dinner. One Of these
trimmed gowns was a simple pink chal-
lie left from the summer, and in an
hour or so it was TRANSFORMED into
very Oriental-lOOking dress stuff by
numberless little figures of blue floss
twisted deity and sewed upon the skirt
with gold thread. 1t made as pretty

ally when a facing of pink satin had
been placed a foot deep inside the hem
to give the silken rustic of a house
dress.
HARD TO TEACH THEM.
Training a lady's maid is not easy.
Many young woman knows a satisfac-
factory maid when she gets one, but
could not for the life Of her instruct
such a girl. She must be able to teach
nearly all the feminine arts, including
maniCuring. The manicure powders
are also taught. An expert lady's maid
makes her own pomades and her own
polishes. She buys such only when

A SEPARATE SILVER PARTY
VIII Take Part in Next Years Campaign.
So Says Senator Jones


San Francisco, November gu. S.
Senator John 2. Jones is strongly Of
the opinion that there will be a sepa-
rate silver party in the campaign of
next year. The formation of such a
party is TO grow out of the coming sill
yer conference at Chicago. he thinks.
The Chicago conference is to take
place some time near the Christmas
holidays, in the hope that it may have
an effect on Congress. A call is now
being prepared by the executive com
mittee which grew out OF the Memphis
convention of last summer. This com
mittee consists of Congressman J. II.
Acklen, of Tennessee; NJ. w. Rusk. of
Colorado, and Josiah Raballal, of Yer
mont. and the American Bi-metallic
League. of which Gen. Warner is chair
man, with headquarters at Washing
ton. and the National Bi-metallic Union
of Salt Lake, R. c. Chambers chairman,
are working in conjunction with It, says
Secretary George p. Keeney. of the
local branch of the American League.
Mr.. Keeney has had frequent confer
ences with Senator Jones since he has
been here and ne stated that Mr. Jones,
since the result of the elections in the
East has become known, is particularly
anxious for the conference to be held.
According TO Mr.. Keeney. Mr.. Jones ex-
pressed himself as follows on the out
come OF the elections: 81 think that
the elections just held have demonstr-
ted beyond the possibility Of any doubt
whatever that the issue IN the cam
paign of 1896 Will be fatty between the
champions Of gold and silver; that
finance and not tariff is to be the only
question. and that it cannot longer be
settled within party lines.
The gold and silver men knitted each
other in these elections regardless OF
party. 1t is an object lesson to silver
men all over the nation. 1t is the bat

The useful age bids fair to follow the
athletic age in the history Of the g.lded
darlings Of society, if indeed it does not
travel along with it, as many of the
ages travelled together in the long ago.

of York began combining the use1ul

A BLACKWOOD TEA.
The latest and most useful move upon
the part of such bellies is the teaching
of ladies' maids. This includes their
instruction in an branches Of the toilet
and their teaching upon matters Of
dress.
The young ladies who are willing to
take such a duty upon themselves have
banded together under the name Of THE
Lady Blackw0od Union and the ledger
shows eighteen names Of very well
known young people as beginners and
pioneers of the movement

wanting to accompany her mistress
upon a journey, when the tightly sealed
bottles are what are wanted.
The arranging of bows, the dressing
of the hair, the scientific mending of
gloves are all among the necessities Of
a maid before she gets her diploma.
One of the young women who is teach
ing such a maid has actually instructed
her personally in the art of glove
mending. as done at the best stores or
where gloves are made.
This talented girl is teaching her
maid to combine two pairs of gloves
She buys very cheap pair of exactly
the same shade as the expensive ones
she is to mend, and cuts out the pieces
of the cheap ones for the good ones.
This young woman had a pair of ell
bow gloves for which she paid some
thing like $40. The fingers were soiled
and could not be cleaned, being worn
thin in an evening BY buying a dol
lar pair of the same color the maid re-
placed the fingers neatly and the gloves
are as good as new.
The daughters of the conspicuously
members of this society. Miss Virginia
Fair. who does many a charitable thing
gives It her encouragement, and half
promises to become an active member.
Even if not willing personally to train
six maids a year. any young woman
can pay for placing a maid in place
where she can learn, with a dressma-
ker or with some one skilled in the
feminine arts. And, by the way, there
are women who make a business OF
teaching these maids.
LIKE THE CHURCHILLS.
The fashionable cap for a lady's maid
is a white one. with a small round
crown and rufie around it. The fash
ionable dress is the one introduced into
I England several years ago by Lady
/ Randolph Churchill, deep black with
out trimming. and filed down the front
with a white Swiss kerchief placed
low from the throatThis has held with
ont variation for fifteen years, the only
concession to the changing styles being
in the puffs Of the sleeves, which are
almost as large as those upon the fash
ionable gowns. The cap is called the
/ Princess Bismarck because adopted by
/ the Bismarck family in Friedrichsruh.
Several ladies. out of charity and pity
always train their own maids. Mrs.

a practice of doing it, though her rea-
son is an eccentric one" Because, if

The attention of the readers is
called to the advertisement of the
Northwest Texas Baptist college
in this issue. Young men and Young
ladies, who are expecting to leave
home to attend college, should hesi-
tate before going a long distance
when there is a college only a few
hours ride from them which has a
curriculum equal To any. Economy
in education is commendable when
no sacrifice is made. Why spend
money travelling hundreds of miles
for an education when the very best
can be had almost at your door.
Decatur, Texas, is only 100 miles
from Ardmore; beautiful and
healthful location. The faculty is
one of the most efficient in the
south, with \. j. Emerson AT its
head. Emerson is recognized as a
leading educator of the country: a
gentleman of large and profitable
experience. He has the true idea
of education, that is thoroughness
in all things. lie does not hesitate
to tell the average young man or
lady that it will take five wears Of
hard work to complete the course OF
study and gain a diploma from his

When sermons are ten minutes long, and

When congregations rise and pay before

When silver iingles everywhere and banks

When bill collectors are to spare and people

When politicians join the church and cease

When there's fifty Offices To Ievery blessed

Then will the millennium dawn brightly
but, alas

LET US ORGANIZE.

1t is consistent with the eter-
nal fitness of things that Ard
more, the chief city of the five
tribes should have some form of
municipal government and as
there seems no probability Of the
Chickasaw legislature taking any
steps to legalize or forward such Il
proposition how would it do for
our people to hold Il mass meeting,
discuss the situation and make
some effort to help ourselves. The
only Objectionable feature to To-
cal provisional municipal govern
ment scheme la Purcell is that
the city by the Canadian was the
first to spring it on the public.
but we had better even pattern af-
ter that burg than not act at all.
Divide the city east and west by
Court street and north and south
by Main street. Establish four
wards, elect two aldermen for
each and an alderman at large:
elect mayor, city attorney, city
marshal and police Judge and
launch the ship of self govern
ment on the waves of liberty in
the sea of equal rights, and let
the eagle scream.
W. o. DuSton would make an
elegant mayor, c. p. Van Den
berg and w K. Moore would rep
resent the first ward. II. Hardy
and c. NJ. Campbell would take
care of the second, DR.. Garnder
and s. T. BledsOe in the third
and John Gait and Steve Douglas
in the fourth. Capt. w. F..
Wilmington as alderman at large:
c. B. Kendrick as attorney; Pull
liam as marshal with Col. Hnkle
as police judge would make a
combination worthy the support
of all. What's the matter with
the scheme and what's the matter
with the slate!
While these names are not pre-
Sented as nominations they would
suit the purposes admirably. They
represent the different sections of
the city and are from the ranks
of no particular political party.
Such government as suggested
could only be made successful by
voluntary submission to its laws
and DEGREES, hence in order to
avoid strife or dissentiOus politics
should be eliminated in the selec-
ton of those to be in power. The
matter is one worthy of mature
deliberation and the ARDMoREITE
would like to hear it seriously ag-
itated. Speak out.
