for mohair puffs the sleeves were en-
tirely of lace. Long sash ends hung
from the red satin belt. Quieter Of hue,
but equally complicated Of design, was
the third dress of this group. OF nickel
gray nuns yelling, it's skirt was laid
in small pleats that started from a mar
row ivory lace yoke. The bodice had a
lace yoke finished with bretelle-like
bands Of tucked material, with vest to
match. It's sleeve puffs were also tuck
ed. and belt and collar were white sat
in. Last Of the quartet Is a gown of
linon over rose-pink silk. Embroidered
linon edged with white chiffon covered
the rose-pink lining of the bodice in
bolero fashion, tucked linon gave the
collar-like yoke, a green satin girdle
showed beneath the jacket, and the
tight silk sleeves were capped by triple
epaulettes, one each Of linon, chiffon
and of silk. 1t will be seen that this
dress is easily the most elaborate of the
four, but take the other three and then
think Of the once desirable rustic sim
plicity! You remember the old school

Contrasta,

Statistics show that the uneducated
factory girl is more frequently married
than is the wide awake, capable girl in
the higher salaried position Of stenog-
rapher, Office assistant, clerk or trusted
secretary. The factory girl is not
thrown with people of wealth and po-
sition so much as is her more talented
sister, and consequently when some
honest man comes along she is ready to
trust her future with his in simple,
even shabby, little home. But the girl
who sees, day by day, the rustic Of my
lady's silks and the courtly manners of
my lady u husband and sons will not be
content to give up her salary, however
difficult it may be to earn it, for the
sake Of being loved by man who may
not find her SO charming when the rent
Ia overdue and the babies need new
shoes. So she stays on. growing old and
acquiring deeper lines about her mouth.

But the Dry Goods Salesman Objected to
Fellowship with the Fuller In.
A smart looking and well dressed
gentleman lounged in the elevator en-
trance of a Broadway wholesale dry
goods warehouse. Apparently his sole
occupation was watching the faces Of
passersby. Now and then he would
make a feint at starting for some pass
ing figure and then generally resume
his Iistless attitude against the door
lamb. At last he did make frantic
dive for a stout gentleman who was
passing. Unfortunately crowd Of Pc
destrians INSTRUCTED his purpose, and
before he could clutch the arm of the
stout gentleman, who was buyer for a
we'll known retail store, another smart
looking, well dressed gentleman, who
had been lounging at the elevator en-
trance Of another wholesale dry goods
warehouse, darted out, seized the stout
gentleman by the hand and had him in
the elevator in moment.
That same afternoon the first men
toned of the two smart looking, we'll
dressed gentlemen was walking from
Worth street to the bridge on Park row
and had nearly reached Baxter street
when tough young man seized him by
the arm.
''Say, boss, can't I sell you a first
class oyercoat? Our goods is de best on
de row, an we'll make de price to fit yer
pocket. Seer Come in an let me-
He tugged vigorously as he said this,
and the gentleman was growing red in
the face.
''Let go my coat, you blackguard, or
I'll have you arrested" be- shouted,
struggling to shake off the others
clutch.
sob, no, you won'tl We're in de
same biz. See? Jes' come in an look
over our goods. I'm sure we can suit
you"
With violent wrench the gentleman
shook himself free and turned indig,
nantly on the puller in:
eff could see a police officer, I'd
have you arrested, you"- Then words
failed.
"No, you wouldn't. Yer not'n bet

Of the get-up may be Of almost trifing
cost. Usually, however, the goods is
something of good quality, neither
cheap nor very costly, something whose
value Or cost will cut a very small fig
ure in the analysis Of the first impress
sion the gown creates.
AS an illustration Of this, the gown
that the artist puts in her first picture
will serve well. It's material was
etamine Of an incOnspicuous, almost
commonplace blue. But with that one
item all suggestions Of the common
place ended. The skirt was shirred
to a deep yoke of mauve taffeta and
trimmed with mauve velvet ribbon in
three groups Of five bands, each head
ed by tuck Of the etamine. The row
of shirring that Joined it to the yoke
was hidden by a band of very heavy
cream guipure. The bodice was etam-
inc with gussetS Of tucked mauve taf-
feta on each side edged with lace in
sertion, a taffeta frill coming ON the
left side. Mauve banded the epaulettes
and large chiffon bow was worn at

makes concession OF nlainness IN some

makes concession or nlainness in some
considerable portion, but this invaria,
bly, counts as an exception and is com.
pletely offset by highly wrought effects
elsewhere in the dress. Thus, in the
plain skirt of the second pictures left
hand dress was promise of simplicity,
and it was echoed in the plain sleeves,
but the body told another story. The
material was suede colored brilliantine,
and the body consisted of bias folds
that pointed upward in the center of
the back and dropped down in front.
In front and back and in one with the
collar was pointed yoke of rich white
lace lined with pink silk. A white leath-
er belt held the waist.
In the companion figure to the one
just described, the surrender to elab-
orateness was complete and the dom
1nant color was brilliant, too, the gown
being Of cerise canvas over the same
shade of silk. Accordion pleated in the
skirt, the bodice was draped beneath
very deep yoke of heavy cream lace
and fluffy canvas frills finished the
tight sleeves, cerise satin ribbon bow
That the belt matched being added.
-Four fashionable gowns in which the
elaborator had free hand are put in
the concluding sketch. At the left is q
dress Of steel-gray cashmere trimmed
with wide bands Of tucked yellow silk
silk of the same shade furnishing collar
and belt, the latter finished with fan
like bow. Next comes gown Of red
mohair trimmed on both skirt and bo-
dice, with wide bands Of deep cream
colored lace insertion edged on both
sides with black muslin ruching. Be-
sides this trimming on the bodice, the
body part was covered with a novel

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
srtt, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing bnt an intamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

BENHAM-pATTERSON RECITAL.

There will be an entertainment and
social at the M. E. church and in the
parlors of the same tomorrow even
ing, Feb. 5th. Miss Pearl Benham of
Minneapolis, daughter of A. Benham,
the extensive land dealer in this coun-
ty, and Mrs. E. G. Patterson of this
place will both appear before the audi
ence that will assemble there. Miss
Benham has sahg in several different
States, and at different times to audi
ences of 10000 people, addressed by
the noted minister, Rev. T.. Dewitt
Talmadge. Her clear, penetrating
voice was always. applauded by the
vast audience. Mrs. Patterson needs
no introduction to an audience in this
city, and the mention of her name in
connection with an entertainment is
sure to meet with favor.
The program is really 50-cent
program, but only an admission of
ten cents will be charged.
Concerning Miss Benham's appear
ance here, DR.. G. II. Bridgman of
Hamline University, writes as follows:
Il congra: ulate you and the people of
your city on having the opportunity
of hearing such an excellent singer.
Miss Benham always delights those

tainment given at st. Croix, at which
Miss Benham appeared, the Repub-
lican of that place, says: s'But it re-
manned for Miss Benham, the contral-
to soloist, to cap the climax and COM
plete the captivation of the audience.
Her two numbers received the most
enthusiastic encores, to which she
gracefully responded. For a person
of her age Miss Benham certainly pos
sesses rich contralto voice of mar
velous purity and power, combining
all the elements of melody clear and
distinct as bell"

COMING DOWN TOWN.
The Minona Lumber Co. Purchases
a New Site.

The Winona Lumber Co. has con-
cluded to break away from the North
western right-of-way and get down
nearer the business portion of the
city, and with this end in view the
company, through its agent, Mr.. 3.
G. Greene, has purchased fourllots on
the northeast corner of Washington
avenue and Fifth street for the pur-
pose of carrying out their intentions
for a downtown lumber yard. Two
of the lots we're sold to the company
by Judge J. FL. Bowers and the other
two we're sold by the Chandler estate.
The consideration for the four lots,
which take in little more than a
quarter of the block, was 81, 600.
Mr.. Greene was seen regarding the
purchase on Monday evsning last.
He stated that he would soon leave
for Winona for the purpose of offer
ing his views in regard to the plans
for the lumber yard. None of the
old building at the present yard will
be moved down, but entirely new
buildings will be constructed. These
new buildings and sheds will be
strictly up-to-date, according to Mr..
Greene's idea, and will be valuable
system of improvements for Redwood
Falls. They will be on stone founda-
tions and will cost in the neighbor-
hood of several thousand dollars.
"We will commence work as soon as
the weather permits" said Mr.
Greene. Il am quite certain that we
will have our buildings all completed
and lumber and other material down
town in time to commence business
here by the first day of June. The
change of location was made necessary
by reason of people preferring.to buy
lumber from yard located in the
heart of the city, rather than TO wali
eight or ten blocks to where the lum.
ber yards we're located for SO many
years"
| The new site is across the street, but
half block south of the Laird Norton
Co. yards. The improvement is not
only good one for the city from the
line of Improvements but it will be
the means of preventing the growth
of a huge forest of weeds, similar tc
those grown on the tract last year, in
which a man is alleged to have beer
lost last fall.

DEATH OF MRS. TEED.

Mrs. Eliza Teed, mother of Mrs.
Frank M. OHara, died at the home
of her daughter in this city at 7:15
O'Clock last Friday morning. La
grippe, superinduced by old age, was
the cause of death, and the latter was
not altogether unexpected. Mrs. Teed
has been suffering from grippe for
some time prior to her death. On Sat
urday brief funeral services we're held
over the remains at the house by Rev
W. Il. Knowlton of the Episcopal
Church, and the remains we're in.
tered in Redwood cemetery on Sun
day afternoon. A large number oi
the friends of the deceased followed
the remains to their last resting place
Mrs. Teed was II years of age al
the time of her death. She was born
in northern Ireland, but with her par.
ents, came from that country to Amer.
lea wheu she was very young. The
parents, with the family, settled in IL
linois, afterwards moving to Wiscon-
sin, where she met her husband, Mr.
iced. She was married to him in
1851, and they were afterwards the
parents of nine children, of which
Mrs. OHara is the oldest. After the
marriage they moved to Traverse des
Sioux, then to st. Paul. After her
husband died Mrs. Teed came to Red
wood Falls and has resided with her
daughter up to the time of her death
