Learn to Tie your Ties.

Every woman who aspires TO veal
ties should make a painstaking study OF
the art of tying them. Her sex is no ex.
cuse for the wearing of ready made
crayat. She should also be sure that hen
ties are spotlessly neat and fresh. Linen
and lawn ties should be worn never
more than day. Silk ties of light col
ors should be of wash silk, SO that they
may frequently be washed, and dark
silk aud satin ties should occasionally
be freshened by sponging with ammo
mia water.
The ties most worn are the straight
bows. The four in hand is also fairly
popular. Plain colors prevail Black
is the color most used, but plain colors
to match the tailor made frock with
which they are worn are also correct. -

Usage Indians Ordered to Cease the Gus

Chief Debolt, the head medicine man

tive order disseminating death dances in
the nation.
When an Usage dies, according to a
long established custom all his rela-
tiyes go absolutely naked until the
death dance, which occurs 80 days aft
er the fatality. This custom of going
naked has played havoc with them,
making them subject to colds that inva.
riably ended in consumption.
