good and bad apples together. ..,aa
The woman who goes out to buy
apples for an apple pie does not need
the biggest apples. She can take small
ones, but she actually requires good ap-
pies. The dealer will cheerfully hold
the measure while the woman selects
good ones. She will pick them up one
by one and lay them carefully in the
| measure as though they were eggs, not
| apples; and when she gets them home
! there will not be a bruise on them-not

A good dinner costs money but it need

raw food will give better results THAI 81

Every dealer has inferior goods mixed

a slice to be thrown away when they
are pared.
In pairing apples, potatoes and any
other fruit or vegetable, be careful to
have a sharp knife. You will waste
enough in one day to pay for having a
knife sharpened. A dull knife bruises
and mutilateS.
Good eggs cost more than poor eggs
but they are worth it. AS a general
thing your dealer will be ran with you
in the matter of eggs, and will tell you
which are his strictly fresh eggs. Take
no other, n if necessary go without
eggs unless you can afford to buy good
ones. If you have no confidence in your
dealer hold the eggs to the candle light

loops were two three-quarter ostrich
plumes, very full and of extraordinary
luster.
At a caudle afternoon not long ago l
saw some tailor-made gowns all strictly
street dresses. A caudle afternoon is
one in which you go to admire the new
baby and see the trousseau which is
spread out for inspection.
At a caudle afternoon one pretty guest
wore a walking toilette Of Scotch mate
rial Which consisted of a jaunty little
coat and q, full skirt. The predominant
color in the material was a new shade
of green called tea-leaf green, while mis-
cellaneous threads OF dark blue, olive
green and white We're observed.
SKIRT TRIMMINGS.
The skirt was trimmed with three
bands Of dark blue ribbon velvet extend
ing in points at the left side instead OF
the front, as is usually noticed.
The jacket was lined with blue satin
and fitted close to the figure. The seams
and edges were stitched twice around, as
all the tailor-made jackets are stitched
this year. The vest was of deep blue
chiffon over a lining Of white; and the
belt was also of blue, finished by two
long ends, which fell smoothly upon the
skirt. The sleeves were small, and the
collar was a high Medici.

ANNOUNCEMENT.
Omen the Streets.

In view of the fact that the railroad
will probably reach Colfax in a few
months, the streets of the tow should
be generally opened. We especially
urge that the street leading from the
river by the LaCroix hotel should be
opened clear back to the proposed
depot grounds. Alec that the street
between J. P. Lewis and j. @. Long
be opened from the river to the depot
grounds, and that all thecross streets
intersecting between the two streets
named be opened SO that every square
in the intervening territory will be
marked Of and plainly designated.
This will put the town in good shape
and help the appearance OF the things
generally.

He Didn't Have a Fight.

A report has been spread abroad
that on Christmas Eve Mr.. j. j.
O'Quinu, the Democratic nominee for
clerk, got drunk and had a big fight.
Whether started as Joke" or as a
bit of political capital, it is not true.
In the first place Mr.. O'Quinn does
not get drunk, and in the next place
he did not have fight. He is noted
for sobriety and general affability,
and it is this that has alwayssecured
him positions of responsibility and
trust. He makes friends rapidly and
retains them firmly, and has no dis
position or record as brawler.
Thereport probably started from
little fisticuff that occurred at Siess
on Christmas Eve between Messrs
Chas. O'Quinn and Fred Brady, who
had some misunderstanding while thu
effect OF their toddy was on, but il
did not amount to much, and wal
soon adjusted. Mr.. j. J. O'Quinr
had nothing to do with it, and hal
no connection with either party.
