LOOK WELL TO YOUR SHOES.

The girl who has the best time at
a dance is the one who looks bright,
fresh and happy. She may not be
pretty, she may not be clever, but she
will have numerous partners and a
thoroughly good time. Therefore it
behooves every girl not to look tired,
and to guard against this she must
have comfortable shoes. A shoe that
pinehes in the least is bound to
stamp on girls features a tagged
expression before the evening is half
over; yet a shoe may not pinch and
still be very fatiguing. A slipper,
especially, may slip up and down the
heel IL too large and cause almost as
much discomfort as a cramped feel
ing. Consequently the girl who wishes
success in the ball room should look
well to the comfort of her shoes.

The shape was of the old English
type-with broad fiat crown and roll
ing sides-but the front nipped heavily
under the weight Of a very gorgeous
buckle of brilliants.
The only trimming around the crown
of the little hat was very large bow
of wired velvet ribbon which COM
pletely covered the left side from front
to back.
A feature of the trimming which
stands no chance of becoming COM
monty popular with a drapery Of ex-
quisite old lace which was arranged
around the brim and tied in loose
knot at the back. The ends were
neatly caught up over the rim and
held in place with diamond button.
The whole effect was very charming
and the toilette attracted deserved
attention.

A Decorative Little Turban of French Gre
alton Seen In New York the First Day of
the Horse Show.
Never before in its history have WIS.,
itors to the New York Horse Show seen
such an array of beautiful hats and
gowns. And, strange to say, in spite OF
the predictions for season of expen-
sive millinery the majority OF hats are
of the toque type. There have been
worn several large hats, however, and
these were indeed very picturesque.
A very decorative little toque worn
by a woman who created quite SEN
sation in a French gown of black
broadcloth was made of soft felt. The
toque was curiously constructed, being
overlaid with tiny folds of felt in
such manner that its crown and brim
had the appearance of being tucked.

for his morning meal? On cold morn
ings when these are accompanied by
tender sausages, or with the finishing
touch Of honey or maple syrup added
to them. they make the hungry man
feel that life is worth rising for.
In cooking cakes use a soap-stone
griddle and do not grease 1t. Your
griddle cakes will then be baked, not
fried, and will, in consequence of this
fact, be less grease-soaked and more
digestible than the oily rounds found
on many breakfast tables.

STRIKERS RETURN TO WORK
MnchiDists Who Lnid Down Their
Tools mt Cheyenne Will Take
Them Up Today.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 21.-(Special
Telegram, 1.-The strike of the Union Pacific
machnists at this place has been ended and
the mon will return to work tomorrow. They
went out on November 6, on which date they
from 32A cents to SO cents per hour.
The strike was considered i'll advised and
premature by many of the men at the time
for the reason that they did not give the
company time to answer their demands for an
increase. Last week the machinists modified
their demands and asked for an increase of
but 1 cent per hour.
Yesterday ]. H. Mcconnell superintendent
of motive power and machinery, who has
been here the greater part of the time since
the commencement OF the strike, went to
Denver to consult President Burt as to the
modified demands Of the men. 1t was decided
to make no concession as long as the men
were striking and they were SO informed
today
At meeting this afternoon the men de-
cided to return to work at the wages paid
prior to the strike and submit their re-
quest for an increase to the company for
consideration. 1t is believed the question
of an increase will now be given favorable
consideration by the company and the griev-
ances the men may have adjusted.
The time schedule will be nine hours per
day instead of eight as heretofore. The
striking toilermakers. thirty in number,
have not yet decided to return to work,
but it is believed they will follow the action
of the machinists.
