BOas and Ruches.

We are destined to wear ruffles or
boas or ruches of some sort this season,
varying them in accordance with the
degree of caloric with which we are
favored. The chief difficulty is to de-
eide just what kind they shall be, but
certainly either of those two would be
suitable for most occasions. The first
is a ruching of black isse with pendent
ends of lace and lisse in a sort of cork
screw appearance, which exactly re-
sembles the ends of feather boa. The
second is of white lisse, worked all over
in a pretty design with lace braid
stitches, having couple of ends in
front. This latter one would be good
accompaniment to a white cape made
entirely of white ruching and mousse

CONFESSION. AND ABSOLUTION.
Protheroe tried to make himself be-
ieve that he should not have allowed
Philip to persuade him to GO back to
Duncan's after the recording of the
mortgage. He argued that it would be
better on all accounts if he should drop
quietly out of the small melodrama
in which he had at the first figured
only as supernumerary. The resolu-
ton hung in the balance while he wait
ed at the courthouse for Thorndyke,
and it was the thought that he still
owed Elsie some indefinite debt of apoI
ogy and explanation that finally turned
the scale in the direction of Philips urg-
ings. On the way up the valley he tried
to reconstruct his dismembered ideal,
to the end that he might be able to wit
ness Philips triumph with some out
ward show of equanimity; and when
they reached the farmhouse he found
this easier than he had anticipated.
While Thorndyke was deservedly
the hero of the day, the re-
joicing in the Duncan household was
sincere enough to be infectious; and
before he knew it, Protheroe was eX-
tolling Philips courage and persever-
ance quite as honestly as any of the
others.
When the excitement had alittle sub
sided, Philip asked how Kilgrow could
best be reached. Duncan wanted to
climb the mountain himself, but his
wife objected.

Then Elsie came to the rescue, and

All of which pointed to an obvious

MAKE YOUR OWN HAT TRUNK.
Only n Little Patience, Bedticl<ing.
and CurIed Hair Needed.

Theproblem of carrying the innumer-
able flower and feather trimmed hats
without injury to them when one is 60
ing away for the summer, has been
solved by that new invention, the hat
trunk; but many home mothers may
feel that, after the necessities are pro-
vided for, the money is not forthcoming
for these much-desired trunks.
A common packing trunk without a
tray may be brought into service by
providing it with cushions, thus making
and transporting trimmed hats and
bonnets. The cushions are supplied by
making a required number of bags or
pockets of drilling, cretonne, or some
thick material and stuffing them very
full of curled hair. Tack these filled
pockets to the inside of the trunk,
finishing the edge and covering the
nails by lacking on cotton gimp around
each cushion, using upholsterers' tacks,
thus giving the interior a neater and
more finished appearance.
A small trunk may be made to accom-
modate at least eight hats by putting a
cushion at each end of the trunk, two
upon the bottom, two on the cover, and
one upon each side. Supply each cush-
ion with two long hatpins for fasten-
ing the hats securely in place. Such a
trunk may be made not only useful
when one is travelling, but also while
one is at home, particularly where
closet room is much needed, by fitting
Cover this with pretty cretonne and

Salad DreasinG

Every young woman should learn to
mix salad dressing for the lettuce and
palatable delicacies. Salt, pepper, vim
egar and oil are the only necessary in
gradients, and each individual must
practice mixing them until she gets the
proportions that exactly suit her taste.
The oil should be added last, dropped
slowly while beating the dressing with
a fork. One can make it in a table
spoon, but small sauce dish is bet
ter. To do this gracefully at the table
requires practice.-Leisure Hours.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES.
Gross Temptations by Which Alas
kans Part with Their Gold,

Gross Temptations by Which Alas
kans Part with Their Gold.
! There are many men on the Klondike
it is claimed, who will probably never
return to civilization. This is the state
ment of Jack Carr, the mail carrier,
and it is not very joyful news he brings
10 anxious relatives in this city and
elsewhere. 1t is not because the boys
are not making money in the north that
they cannot come home, but because
the temptations of the saloons and
dance halls at Dawson are too much
for them, and every cent they earn is
spent that way. 1t does not take very
long to run through a small fortune in
Alaska, if one is inclined to be the least
bit sporty. 1t costs from so cents to
| five dollars a dance in the Dawson
dance halls, and with whisky at rs
cents per drink man has to be very
lucky to keep the pace.
The boys" in question are not ex-
ceptionally lucky. They have been on
the river long time, and have good
claim if they would work it Industrious
| ly. They saved no money when they
were working down here, and Carr says
that they are not doing it in Alaska.
They have hardly enough to purchase
supply of grub for the winter, and
as a result of their drinking and dane
ing, live in terrible fashion. They are
ON spree for about half the time, and
the other days in the week are too much
played out to work. The stories told
of this Klondike whisky are interesting,
if true.
There are seven or eight saloons at
Dawson, counting new one that has
just been started by Pete Mcdonald,
the well-known Snohomish saloon
keeper and variety man. At Louise
Town, above Dawson, there are four
more. tits from the Louise Town saloons
that the whisky stories come. Their
whisky, it is said, is made from alcohol
and brown sugar. With every glass
placed on the bar a whisk broom is
placed beside it. A Seattle man was
telling the story of his first drink to
few friends yesterday, and in the
course of the story explained the use
of the whisk broom. On his calling
for glass of whisky the broom was
handed to him, as the others at the bar.
Not wishing to show his ignorance, he
waited until the others had finished.
After downing the mixture they went
over to pile of sawdust, where for a
few minutes they rolled around in a
fit. The whisk broom was used to
brush off the sawdust. The Seattle mar
poured his glass on the floor, having re-
ceived vivid temperance lesson.
There are said to be many men AT
Dawson in just the fix the Seattle boys
spoken of are in. There is plenty OF
work for them to do, but they won't do
it. Or, if they do, the money goes into
the saloons and dance halls, while dur
ing the winter they live off the more
! fortunate miners. These men would
be in a sorry fix if there was any great
scarcity of provisions at the camp, as
there seems to be a possibility that
there will be this year.-SeattFe Times

man said:

We willingly recognize the great role
that she plays in the world. We sim
cerely wish her success in her projects

But we are suspected Of cherishing a

nonsense! What absurdity! England,
however, refuses our offers of friend

front ranks of our enemies. She will
compel us at last to Take sides against
her. And for. all that she ought to
understand that her danger does not

A LAWN GAME.
Entertaining Sport for Limited
Space.


A game which requires much skill
and practice in order to win satisfac-
tory score is played with cue, balls and
ring fastened in the ground.
The game is favorite and one easily
possible, even if the space at ones COM
mand is limited.
circular space is chalked off of any
dimensions desired. In the center of
the circle is a revolving ring made of
iron or brass. It has shank, and when
it is to be used a large wooden peg is
driven into the ground, with the top
little below the surface, and into It
hole is bored large enough to receive
volve freely. Half the fun of the game
consists in having ring only just large
enough to let the ball pass through,
and the ring must be so neatly poised
as to revolve with touch. The best
plan for securing this is to have metal
socket let into the wooden peg. If so,
care must be taken that the socket be
brass, if the ring is iron, and the re-
verse. Both shank and socket should be
kept well oiled. The cues have wooden
handles and a metal tip, which is ring
shaped and fixed at an angle with the
handle. This formation enables the
ball to be better played than if the cue
and tip were in line. The balls, about
one foot in circumference, are of rubber
and are very hard; each one is painted
with rim around the center of diff
ferent color. Each player has her own
cue and ball.
The object of the game is to pass
the ball through the revolving ring, and
the player scores point every time she
succeeds. There is in this game more
play than at first appears. If, for ex-
ample, a player in sending her ball
through the ring strikes another ball,
either before or after, she adds two to
her score. If a player finds the ring
| turned edgewise toward her she can
either place her own ball so as to OBJ
struct the next stroke of the enemy
or by dextrous play at the ring turn
it edgewise to the enemy next in sue
cession. The clever player will strike
a ball belonging to her own team so
as to put it into position or will strike
away the ball of an opponent who seems
likely to make a successful stroke.
A really good player will often con-
trive to pass the ring, even though il
be almost edgeways to her. If the ring
be turned in the least to one side OF
the other she will play at it with a pc
culiar push of her cue and strike 1t a
little on one side. If this IS properly
done and with moderate force the ring
spins round and catches the ball in its
progress. The effect of this sudden
shock is that the ball vibrates back
wards and forwards for moment, and
finally settles on the opposite side.
1t must be borne in mind that the
ball cannot be pushed through the ring
with the cue touching it, neither may
it be thrown through. - American
