Hornennade wardrobes.

In these days of contracted space there
is never enough closet room. If there is
a corner Of the room with sufficient
space, it may be utilized in the manner
here described:
Two strips of wood as long as You de-
sire and 4 inches wide by inch thick
are screwed in the angle Of the wall
about feet from the floor. Boards are
cut of to fit in the corner and resting on
these strips. This will form the roof
A brass or wooden rod is then run across
the front Of this board from wall to
wall, and from which the curtain is
suspended by rings. Cretonne, chintz or
printed cotton will make a good list to
choose from and are inexpensive
One may screw upon the underside of
the roof and on the cleats as many hooks
as are required, and if desired shelf
may be introduced about 10 inches be-
low the roof, and on that attach the
hooks Sutn an emergency closet will

A nervous headache will be greatly

cured by looseninS the waist Of ones
dress, knotting the hair high upon the
head out of the way, and while leaning
over basin placing sponge soaked in
water as hot as it can be borne ON the

times. also applying the sponge behind
the ears, and the strained muscles and
nerves will relax and very frequently

Things Every Woman Wants to Know.

Things Every Woman Wants 20 Know.
Jet bonnets seem destined never to go
out of style.
Theater bonnets are merely headdress
and can be as fanciful and dainty as the
wearer pleases.
Fancy waists, which are still in high
favor, are a boon to the woman Of few
gowns, as they afford a greater variety
in dress than any other fashion could
possibly produce.
A novelty in fur boas is made of Per
sian lamb, shaped a little like collar
at the back and trimmed down the
front with innumerable mink tails, three
rosettes and plated ends of black lace
edging, and a bunch of violets at one
side opposite the little black head with
its grinning teeth.
1t has become generally understood
now that pointed toe shoe must be
bought a size longer than square or
round toe, but in consequence a mar
rover shoe can be worn, which, after
all, makes the foot look vastly better.
The short, chunky effect must never be
allowed.
Low shoes worn with CATERS or
''spats,'' as they are called, are seldom
seen so late i'll the season as now.
Embroidered stockings, openwork,
and with lace insertion, are fashionable
TO wear with slippers and low shoes.
For street only plain colors are worm

Commencing SATURDAY,
February 9Th, and continuing
for ONE WEEK, we will hold
the LARGEST REMNANT
SALEof the SEASON. At the
prices we are asking every
piece will be sold. Read what
follows and kindly bear in
it mind.
POPULAR APPROVAL
Goes far toward establishing
the standing of a business
house in any community, and
the goodwill and patronage
we have had during the last
forty years indicate, not only
that we have the POPULAR AP-
PRovAL, but that those who
have dealt with Us have been
eminently satisfied with their
transactions.
WE ATTRACT
And retain patronage more
by the EXCELLENCE OF QUALITIES
shown and err REASONABLE
PRICES than by preposterous
claims of selling goods below
cost, etc.
WE REPEAT
AS we have said before that
when you pay less for goods
than we ask for them you get
an inferior quality.
WHILE WE
Garry a stock of dry
goods that is complete
in every sense, from
the lowest priced goods
to the most luxurious made,
we make a speciality of the
highest grade, and exclusive
designs of the most recent and
accepted styles.
IT is
Worth your while always in
making purchases to look at
our stock before deciding. If
we have what you want you
will certainly buy it. if quality
and price are any cOnsid-

WINTER aTYLss ~. DRESS.


Special Features Of the season-ProdIEAIity
of Materials and TrimminEs-Tea Gowns.
This years winter fashions differ
from last years winter fashions in de-
tails There are new materials, new
colors, new trimmings, but the cut of
the garments in many instances is es-
sentially the same. The plain skirt re-
mains with us, though its variations
have been manifold. We still delight in
fancy waists and continue to pin our
predictions TO a sleeve Of excessive am
plitude. To balance this fidelity we have
shown ourselves anxious to be on with
the old love of MORE and ON with the
comparatively new love Of brocade, re-
serving a corner in our hearts for satin,
with its soft, smooth face. The newest
material we are called upon to honor is
moire scintillate, which comes In all
colors and is used alike for skirts and
entire dresses
The present season is characterized by
reckless extravaganza. Greater variety
and richer materials have seldom, If ever
before, prevailed. Every sort Of fabric
between serge, velvet and translucent
gauze is employed for dresses and
wraps. All sorts and condition Of trim
mings are in evidence, and there is q
strange and senseless association Of furs
and flowers, feathers. lace and mock
jewels. We are extravagant even in our
petticoats. Materials that our great
grandmothers would have put into their
best Sunday frocks we lavish upon the
skirts which we wear every day beneath
cloth dresses.
In tailor gowns the color ranges from
the soberest tints to quite gay maroon.
Maroon, by the bye, is a favorite color

uuently look heavy and inadequately
supported, and they arc also often made
in a too split up manner. This latter
quaIity-that is, having too many little
shelves, mirrors, spindles and pedi-
ments-is often an indication of inferior
ity. The majority Of high class wall
brackets that are now being made are
beginning to assume a more modest and
dignified appearance.
Such a character attaches 20 a dainty
little china shelf, extremely simple and
quite unlike the brackets that were, un-
til recently, In vogue. The center COM
partment frames a small water color
drawing, and in the semicircular panel
above it is inserted beveled mirror.
Corner brackets are often the only
things wherewith to furnish an empty
corner of a room. These articles are
capable of considerable variety Of treat
ment, and, as a rule, lend themselves
very readily TO the passing changes OF
fashion.
The market affords effective little
angle affairs III the Queen Anne style,
with such shaping of shelves and sides
that make these appear in just the right
place when hung on a wall. There are
also dainty china receptacles, quaint lit
tie cupboards in which an attempt has
been made to depart from the usual
un2ainly height OF the orthodox wall
bracket. This style is sometimes made
in such form as TO provide convenient
and inexpensive brackets to place over
low doors provided with wide cornice.
In the matter Of brackets, though, as
in items Of greater Importance, Decora-
tor and Fu-nisher admonishes that due
attention be given, at all times, to the
variances OF fashionable taste. The
French style, for instance, is just rs APP
plicable to these articles as it is TO cabi-

for street wear. Among old favorites
that never die is the Elton jacket. Vel
vet jackets arc much the rage just now,
with cloth skirts.
For formal dinners elaborate gowns are
worn. the principal difference between
these and ball gowns being the sleeves.
The ball gown has as little sleeves as
possible, while the dinner gown almost
invariably has elbow sleeves.
The matinee jacket and skirt have
pushed the fascinating tea gown quite
out Of the drawing room, but it holds
its ground in the boudoir and claims
and deserves the patronage of every
woman who has leisure to wear negH-
gee garment. The newest tea gowns are
made, many Of them, of the soft wool
crepon which so appropriately lends it's
graceful folds to the essential languor
of this gown of ease. In addition to the
usual amplitude of front and back, this
seasons tea gowns luxuriate in a wealth
of neck and shoulder trimming. The
luxury of the present season is also exem-
plified in the lounging and dressing
gowns made in the new 'zenana" cloth,
which stimulates quilted silk lined with
elder down. There are also very charm
ing gowns Of French flannel, with silk
Innings and fur trimmings. A pretty
model likely to be copied many times is
in crepon with silk front and revers.
Flounces Of lace, added to the sleeves,
shoulders and skirt, transform an other
wise simple gown into quite a dressy
affair. ALICE VARNUM.
