The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1899-11-24

Again the practice Of sending
away from your own town for
goods has proved a delusion, re-
ferring to the lightning rod case
near Brewster. If the farmer had
wanted rod and the merchant he
traded with did not keep them be
would have got for him on request,
but the idea of saving a little. To
be sure q mite saved is so much
earned but in the supposed saving
there are so often items of loss.
We notice at our freight house,
while being unloaaed, frequently
goods from supply houses, and the
articles that are open for inspec-
ton are always of an inferior
quality to what is handled by any
local dealer. They cost less but
they are very expensive at that.
IL purchasers would stop and think
of the enormous expense supply
houses are to, in maintaining their
business, it would readily be seen
that they cannot sell standard
grade of goods at the prices they
do. This week was seen on the
depot platform goods of such a
cheap quality that our merchants
do not carry them in stock but
they are listed in their price list
and could be secured for purchas-
ers who desire that grade Of goods.
The season Of the year is now at
hand for sending away for goods
and to those persons we desire to
say, We have been repeatedly told
by different merchants that if such
people would bring their order
and cash to them they would fill
any order at the same price and in
many cases lower.

4 mistake has been made in the
date of tho meteoric display. It
was figured year to early and is
now due next November But
those who saw stars this year are
not to be ridiculed az astronomers
say those that were seen were
mere sputters. About the same
date next November they will be
seen with a brllliancy equal to if
not superior to those with which
the modern world has been
startled.

A chambermaid in a hotel in
Minneapolis found 500 and being
honest turned it over to her en-
ployer to be given the owner. The
owner not claiming the bill the
landlord gave the girl $25 for her
honesty. She brought suit and re-
covered the whole amount, thus it
will be seen that tho finder of an
article is owner if the proper own
ership is not established.

The Ever Useful Shirt Waist.

The day of the shirt waist is not yet
over and will not be, as long as it
serves wOmankind in such a good
manner. The following suggestions
will be useful to those who are con-
templating buying shirt waists for fall
wear:
Many women are having new cotton
shirt waists made for fall wear Near
ly all of these waists are Of dark colOrs
in plaids or stripes, frightened with
narrow lines of bright red Many of
these are worn with white collars and
cuffs.
An innovation in the new shirt waist
is shown in their fastenings. These
are now placed upon the left side and
the front is left plain to show the beau
ty of the material used.
Early autumn shirt waists are de-
veloped in wool goods. Cream white
albatross, cashmere, mohair and other
soft woods in bright Roman colors, red
and silver-blue in camels hair are fav>
Orites. These waists are simply finish
ed With machine stitching.
A useful waist will be the one made
of that dear old revived goods, silk and

wool poplin This waist will have all
the advantage of the luster and dressi-
ness of silk, but it will not be easily
crushed and consequently will be JOY
when worn under jackets. Brown and
gray are popular the gray being par
ticularly becoming to many people and
a fashionable color the brown especial
ly serviceable.
The waists of velvet and velveteen
are always pretty and becoming. One
in soft, rudy brown is formed Of lit
tie box plaits, with rows of heavy ecru
insertion between. The velvet is not
cut away, and the insertion is of the
double-edge sort.
Corduroy makes a warm and SER
viceable waist.
AS for cOlors for the new waists, the
exquisite French gray, and the SOFT
rich and dainty shades of castor seem
to have appealed the most to the femi-
nine eve, and waists in these shades
have been selling rapidly in the stores.
Then there is a darker gray, q deep
violet, a rich red, vivid yet dark blues
and green's, and a number of browns

Scotch tweeds are among the first

at present a prominent place on the
counters of all first-class dry goods

Household Hints.

The breaking of glass globes is very
frequent. Their durability may be
greatly increased if they are tempered
by putting them in a pan and covering
with cold water. The pan is then set
on the range until the water boils. 1t
is then removed from the fire, and the
globes are allowed to remain in the
water until it is perfectly cold. This is
common treatment for lamp CHM
neys, and is equally efficient in the
case of glass globes.
Doilies of all kinds AMI small pieces
of linen, carving cloths and center
pieces come with an entire spray Of

It is women who are really RESPONSE
BILE, according to a medical journal, for
half the ills that flesh is heir to, be-
cause they will have "thick curtains,

about their houses, and insist upon the
windows fitting, gloves being worn,
dresses fitting closely to the figure.
