While You Rest

Do little thinking about
the cost of gas lighting and
cooking. With gas at S160
per thousand, you get Ct feet
for one cent. You can get "a
candle power for five feet of
gas properly burned in a good
burner. This makes you
hrst-class light of 81 candle
power for hve-sixths cents per
hour, Or light equal to an
average electric light for
about cent per hour. Again,
take an improved Welsback
burner, consumes 3 feet per
hour, gives 80 candle power.
Just think, al so candle pow
er light for ] cent per hour,
Ponder this over. It is the
cheapest artificial lighting
agent known. If you are not
convinced, cal! at the Gas Of
flee. 271s Washington avenue,
and we will prove it to you.
AS to cooking, gas at 81 per
thousand is not half as ex-
pensive as coal at $3.50 per
ton, or wood even at the pres
emit prices. Coal oil and gaso-
line are not to be mentioned
in the same week as gas for
.cooking,a and then the comfort,
cleanliness and efficiency. Call

 The style of wearing odd waists and skirts has been revived and pleads Its own cause, not only from point of usefulness, but because some beautiful combinations are really possible. creamy tan skirt, with bodice in rose has just left the modiste's hands and is really thing of beauty. The combination of color used this season IS far more harmonious than heretofore. Glaring effects are no longer 
 Whether the skirt be of the like color or is designed for odd waist, it is cut on the same pattern. The craze for lines that writhe and cling about the body grows apace. Every self-respecting skirt must have an appallingly tight aspect. The fiounced skirt Is dead and in it's place is the eelskin sheath of twenty years ago. fitting the hips without wrinkle. From below the knee it widens out into volumin- ous clinging folds; This necessitates a great deal of attention to ones steps when walking.

 ites Of life-such as telling you girls how to be beautiful-had laid their devastat- ing fingers upon me was one which read in this fashion,: ''No excellence without great labor" And this is as true apout personal improvement as anything else.
 If we would keep the colors of the lilies and the rose in our cheeks we must labor unceasingly. We must see to 1t that the diet is what it should be; that our bodies are kept clean; that the creams and To- lions that we put upon our faces are Of the purest; that our sleeping rooms are we'll ventilated; that we take sufficient exercise to keep the blood from getting sluggish; and last, but not least, that the water with which we wash our faces is as soft as 1t is possible to get it. There is no sort of doubt but that the water which comes to us through the hydrants and faucets of city residence is respon- sibie for many of the complexion ills.
 The secret of a beautiful complexion is said by those who ought to know to lie in the exclusive use of rain water for
 Ninon de lEnclos never used anything upon her face but rain water, and she was so beautiful that at the age of eighty she was still capable of inspiring the ten- der passion.
 Of Diane de Poitiers and Madame Re- camier the same may be said.
 In the days of our grandmothers dew water was considered the best cosmetic in the world, but. although the vanity of woman is colossal, l doubt if 1t would carry her to the extreme point Of crawl ing out of her warm bed in the early hours of the morning, particularly the winter morning, and groping around in the grass for sufficient moisture to bathe her face in. As it Is almost impossible to catch the elusive raindrops in quantity sufficient to last for any length of time the next best thing Is distilled water. This is said to be the very best whitener of the skin, but if purchased it is expen- sive. small still can be bought at the cost of few dollars, but if one does not care to go to even that expense a simple substitute for a still is teakettle, with a close cover and a gutta percha or lead through a pail of cold water into a jar for holding the distilled water.

 shall we hear at the theaters?
 has been answered. Grand opera
 is an assured fact. The more ab-
 S sorbing question, What shall we
 wear? naturally arises. For 'tis said that if the theater-going women were given their choice of two imperative affictions-of becoming either deaf or blind during the opera season-they would promptly give their preference to deaf ness.
 The origin of dress is usually wrongly assigned to the ingenuity of the first woman. Not at all. She may have pro- pounded the first essentials of clothes but 1t was an astute man who hit upon the evolution of dress.
 He was trying to baff1e the curiosity of his wife, which he found inconvenient, after the manner of man sometimes.
 If I could only head her off on some other idea! Happy thought. I'll try to put together a new fabric for a dress.' So he expounded the pros and cons, the why's and wherefores, the raison d'etre of dress, till the feminine attention was thoroughly aroused.
 The instinct once implanted soon became second nature in her sex. The modern man finds little difficulty in his way when he wishes his wifes mind to turn to the subject of clothes.
 Some beautiful gowns and opera cloaks are ready to shed their wrappings and de- light the eyes of the public as soon as the proper time arrives. Unless all signs and auguries go for naught we are to have a very dressy season at the theaters. The heraldings of La Mode are even more comforting than the advance notices of the press agents. Buds, belles and mat rons have all signifed their willingness to don purple and fine linen for the thea ters
 The matinee girl who Is absolutely good form will still wear a simple but elegant tailor-made gown. An elaborate robe at an an afternoon performance is in poor taste. There Is always large sprinkling of gowns of this sort, but the wearers never belong to the sacred inner circle. I counted over a dozen society girls last Saturday afternoon. They one and all wore tailor gowns.
 For the evening there are gowns and wraps gorgeous enough to please the most fastidious. For the opera season there are some semi-decollete gowns that will delight the eyes of the beholders. The very loW-necked gowns have never found fa- vor with San Francisco theater-goers. A beautiful gown which will be worn for a theater party in the near future Is made in a semi-decollete design with dog-col- lar of pearls. The bodice is made with a lace yoke terminating in long narrow

 Fancy feathers are not as much worn al they were at the beginning of the season and in their stead come the favorite long, curly ostrich plumes. The spotted velvet is quite the rage and will undoubtedly run throughout the winter as velvet Is the foundation of so many hats.
 There Is a mirror velvet showing black spotted with red, gray spotted with small black dots, brown dotted with steel color, and so on throughout the new color com binatious. Winter Is the season for velvet and this year the glossy, silky material has not been sighted.
