and two evenings. Sew the ribbon and
lace into strips from which you shape a
close fitting shirt waist, and snug
sleeves. Fasten together in front with
fancy pins. Swathe your neck in the
soft lace and plant an Alsatian bow at
the neck. Isn't II easy? And such a
dream! Olga's was blue taffeta ribbon

Jackets for early fall wear are Of con-
siderable Importance and deserve at
tention. Short coats are the order Of
the day. They. have not the trimness
of the regulation Elton, but almost lose
their identity beneath weighty Medici
collars, which have attained enormous
height, and full, fioppy revers extending
we'll over the small sleeves. According
to the law of supply and demand, a
novelty chain has been introduced to
support the high collar. These chains
are slender threads OF silver or gold,
with crystal buttons attached to one
end, the other being sewed to the coll
lar. They prevent the collar from fall
ing down, yet allow sufficient space for
the chin and movement of the head.
One collar in gray satin had a Medici
collar of face cloth, nine inches high,
with round revers, surrounded by a
Laffiere fiounce. l do not care es-
pecially for these two extremes, but
may fall in line when they are more fire.

Soft silks are clamoring for recogni-

in our midst we will be prepared to
give them joyous welcome.

lhc year Cioctn "ith WIS
week has been in many respects the
most prosperous and remarkable in
the history of Lamar. The large
building boom of the past several
years has been far surpassed both in
numbers and valuation On Main
street there have been nine business
houses erected besides the handsome
opera house block, which contains
three store rooms. Several large and
expensive ware rooms have been built,
but the greatest boom has been in
the residence districts. 1t has eI-
tended TO all sections Of the town,
and has been increasing SO rapidly
that no one seems able to keep track
OF the improvements Over fifty new
residences have been built and many
old ones have had substantial addi-
tons made to them. The total OF
the building operations in Lamar for
the year is estimated at over 500, 600.
In the country tributary to the
town the building operations have
been almost rs active, as many of the
old farmers as well ss the newcomers
have built themselves substantial
homes and made other improvements.
With good crops and farm products
Of all kinds bringing good prices the
farmers are feeling like making solid
improvements.
The merchants all report splen-
did trade during the year, and that
the drawing qualities Of Lamar and
her citizens is continually expanding
the territory from which the town
draws trade.
Altogether it is safe to predict that
no town will enter upon the closing
year Of the century with brighter
prospects than Lamar.

A Clear COmplexiOn.

A daily bath, daily exercise in some
form and habit Of deep breathing are
prime requisites to the possession and
retention Of health and prettiness. A

clear complexion are also greatly de-
pendent upon liberal and easily di-
gested diet. Poor soil will not produce
beautiful roses or luscious fruits; so

there as art could never do. The skin
is an elastic structure. affording an ex-
tensive surface for the sweat glands to
open upon. In some parts of the body
these glands number twenty-five hun

To this day. even. in the Christian
world, one Of the subtlest and the mos;

we are assailed is the same which tried
the disciples-the desire to be account,

on account of their superior riches,
talents, honors, or social position. often
sadly mars what are otherwise lovely

WINTER ON THE HILLS.

What DO the city houselings know
OF Winter hale and hoar.
Who crouch beside the back-log's glow.
Behind the battened door?
Not theirs the wonder Of the waste
White league on league outrolled;
Not theirs meath spacious skies to taste
The tonic Of the cold!
Sot theirs the North Winds breath to
breast
TIL each vein tingles warm
The while he drives along the west
The horses Of the storm!
Not theirs the SHOWS as soft as sleep
That hill and hollow hood;
Nor the oracular silence deep
Within the druid wood!
Not theirs by night. undimmed. to mark
The spangles Of the Bear:
Nor through the dark from arc to arc
The pale auroras fare!
Not theirs to share the profrered part
or wealth he holds in store:
Not theirs to know the constant heart
or Winter hale and hoar!
