Pearls have never been so fashion
able-or, at any rate, more fashionable
than they are at present. Formerly,
one or several rows of them, resting
upon the chest OF closely encircling
the neck, were in request; bu5 now
nothing will do but long chains OF
them falling below the waist or fes-
tooned over the bodice. The demand
for them is so great that jewellers are
hard pressed to obtain sufficient
supply. The fortunate possessors OF
one or more than one of these long
strings devise all sorts of different
ways of displaying them. Sometimes
they are worn plainly round the neck
and allowed to fall naturally; again,
they are caught up at the front or side
of the bodice with q ieweled Orna-
ment; still again, they are fastened to
the back of the low cut bodice and are
draped around the decolletage. The
most novel application of them was
adopted recently by fashionable
Partisan woman, who fastened the
chains in her hair, allowing them to
drop at the sides and fall to the
shoulders, where they were attached
to the gown.

Ahrent of the 1000 yYaIst.

The young woman who will wear
shirt waiats next season looked at the
shop windows yesterday, went home
and hid her cuff links. Even the
daintiest pair of these links will be
''bad form" if the present prediction
of the dealers holds good when sum
mer comes.
A lace ruffle, frill or a hemstitched
point runs around the wrist and
droops almost to the knuckles The
sleeve, too, is different from the old
time sort. 1t is of the close-to-the-
arm type, and looks as if it had been
modelled from a jersey.
In fact, there is but little about this
waist to make one think of the orig
inal. Some fasten in the back with
tiny pearl buttons, and all are adorned
with tucks, embroidery and lace.
They had perches of honor, aud got
the "ohs" and "ahs" of the promen-
aders. They appeared in muslin,
linen, cambric, madras, gingham -
just as they used to do-but each had
its 1900 mark, the absence of the
starchy cuff
each year we hear much OF the
passing of the waist" said a man who
sells them, "and each year we get a
bigger call for them. Now, perhaps,
they are not shirt waists-theY are
just waists-and we will sell more Of
them than ever"
The old polka dot seems to have
been forgotten so far. A stripe comes
up and explains why it happened.
The collar alone remains. That
will be just as high as ever, and, no
matter where the waist fastens, this
collar will hold its own below the
chin. Chicago Record.

Tucked or corded taffeta silk in
cream, turquoise blue, lilac, pink or
crimson may be worn with cashmere
or other winter dresses. The em-
broidered or hemstitched taffeta is
effective, and as only small quantity
is required such a guimpe is not ex-
pensive. China silk tucked all over
in crinkled tucks is cheaper and has a
more childlike effect for young chill
dren. White tafreta embroidered all

Japanese silks, either white or col
ored are inexpensive and durable, and
may be gathered, shirred or shocked
to advantage and used for guimres. -

Wide Tires ON the Farm.

Tor use on the farm, on all sorts Of
soil, and under all conditions, whether
dry or wet, hard or soft, the wide tire
requires less draft and is more econo-
mical in every respect, writes John
H. Hobbs. 1t is sometimes recon-
mended that the front axle of a wide
tired wagon be shorter than the hind
axle, the theory being that the tread
will cover more ground and act as a
sort of roller. In suggesting this in
recent article, its writer pointed out
the comparative good condition Of a
road at points where it turned and
where the front and hind wheels of a
wagon did notfollow in che same track.
The theory will not work with wide
tires. With wide tires the difficulty
of turning is increased for the edge Of
the wide tire will strike the edge Of
the wagon quicker than that of the
narrow tire. But if we shorten the
front axle there would be still greater
trouble. Much of the work on the
farm could be done with wagons with
low wheels, the body of the wagon
being raised high enough for the
front wheels to turn under it, as
wagons in the city are made, have
low wheel, broad tired wagon and
it is the most convenient thing that l
have upon the farm.

An 1ncome From ButterfIes.

Catching butterflies is the pleasant
work by which a clever English girl
makes good living. Miss Mary
Yeomans, before going to California,
had collected butterflies for pleasure
at home, and after coming to America
realized that many of the rarest varie'
ties are to bo found in California. The
first butterflies she captured were OF a
species seldom found except i'll the
higher Alps, and on sending them to
England she was paid $25 each, From
that time on she has been steadily in
creasing her stock, and now makes a
large income by tho sale of tho in
sects.

The annual report Of the third as.
sistant postmaster general contains
strong testimony in favor Of the hon
esty and efficiency of the postal service,
writes William e. Curtis in the Chi
cago Record. During the past fiscal
year the postmasters OF the United
States and their assistants handled
sl96, 65S,544, of which S95021 ,3S4 was
receipts from the sale of stamps, boxes,
money orders, ETC., and the balance
was disbursed for various expenses.
OF this enormous sum the entire loss
to the government by burglary, fire,
bad debts, embezzlement and all 9TH
er forms Of carelessness and dishon-
esty was only S19,358. ] doubt if any
private firm, bank or corporation, or
any institution in the world that re-
ceives and disburses money, can show
so good a record, and yet we keep
talking about the inefliciency and cor
ruption of the public service and other
evils of partisan appointments. 1t may
be said, too, that the customs collec-
tions and the business of the internal
revenue office will show similar evil
dence OF honesty and efficiency in our
public service.

AssIstInr the Growth of Hair.

Beautiful hair is the gift of nature,
but many more could possess it if
nature were assisted. The hair
should be combed thoroughly every
night before retiring, with a coarse
toothed comb. Do not use vigor
enough to bruise the scalp, butrather
a light scratching movement to stimu-
late and open the pores all over the
head. Then brush with a stiff, long
bristled brush, dividing the hair into
several parts, that all the roots may
be reached. Brush gently but firmly,
carrying the stroke to the ends Of the
hair. Then braid the hair loosely,
or, better still, leave entirely free un.
til morning. After shampooing, do
not dry by artificial heat, but By
towels, friction and fanaing.

Frills of Fashion.

Tulle hats trimmed with crepe roses
are one of the latest novelties.
Genache satins, trimmed with
chiffon and lace mako charming even
ing dresses.
A hair net which fastens at the
back of the head with fancy pin the
size of small button is a novelty
which is supposed to keep the short
locks in place.
A pretty evening waist is made Of
lattice design in jet over white NOUS
seline de sole, finished around tho
neck with drapery of white tulle
and bunch of pink roses.
All sorts of finger rings put on re-
gardless of harmony in color and
shape are considered vulger by those
who study effect and good taste in the
use of jewels as well as gems and
hats.
An embroidery of 6ne jet beads OF
bands of cloth is one of the vagaries
of dress trimming. The bands are
arranged in various ways around the
plain skirts, for some of the skirts
are cut plain without plait any
where.
Tulle evening gowns are made with
box plated skirts, the plaits begin
ning at either side of the front and
extending around the back or all
around, as you like, and caught down
to the knee. Another skirt Of tulle
is worn underneath and the silk foun.

The "Details of the ToIIette.

A very interesting characteristics Of
the fashions Of to-day is the extraor-
dinnry amount of care which is given
to the smaller details of the toilette
those little accessories and after
thoughts Of which no one took the
slightest heed some five or six seasons
ago. The innumerable lace ties,
cravats, and jabots, which play so i'm
portapt a part in the toilettes of the
moment, offer a case in point, for with
out some dozen or so of these dainty
little things, no ones wardrobe can
nowadays be considered complete.
Now is the chance for those who pos
sess beautiful little pieces of old lace
to make a pleasant use of them, for
they can easily be arranged, either as
frills upon ties of glace silk, or in the
safer form of an applique, on scarfs OF
panne or mirror velvet.

housekeeping in the Philippines"
writes Brooklyn woman to her
mother, els simply a JOY. 1 have
never lived 80 we'll or so cheaply IN
all my life. have learned a lot since
1 started housekeeping, but it cost
something before got the hang OF
things. 1 first rid myself OF the horde
of worthless Filipino servants, who
rob newcomers right and left, and
then installed Chinese cook for
$3.50 a month, and the house runs
itself.
"There is not much work in a tropi-
cal household, no stuffed furniture or
carpets, no lace or other kind of cur
tains, but painted, flexible screens at
tached to the windows. Everything
is on one floor, the furniture is rattan
bamboo, and the kitchen utensils are
simplicity itself. The climute is
healthful, although the sanitary con-
ditions are extremely bad. We are
all falling into the lethargic condition
which seems the chronic state of the
natives. 1 take long maps all the
afternoon. At 7 o'clock we dine.
There is not much calling in the even
ing, as the curfew is still in force,
clearing the streets at $50 p. m. The
evenings are perfect, but we get sleepy
and are usually in bed by 8 o'clock.
"When [ see the india rubber trees,
twenty-five feet or more in height,
growing in the yards here, their stiff,
brilliant green leaves glistening in the
sun, laugh to think of the little box
plants we used to keep in our win
dows at home in the winter, because
they were the only growing thing that
could stand the united attack of dust,
neglect and coal gas.
81 never get tired watching the
simple primitive methods of Filipino
housekeeping for their processes are
carried on before the eyes Of all men,
These men themselves do the largest
part of the hard work, while the WON
en- perch on the ladder like steps that
lead into their houses and look on,
All the cooking is done out of doors
and usually on the ground. Theil
little stoves of red clay are hardly as
large as the iron pots we have al
home. One side is bent down like q
primitive hearth, and the fire is kept
going by long tubes which the mer
blow through instead of using bel
lows. On this funny little apology
for stove they cook their rice OF
chocolate, stirring the latter with
carved sticks, whioh they twirl be
tween their palms to keep the beverage
from .sticking. Often they do moi
use the stove at all, but make fire
right on the ground, between two
stones, over which they set the RED
earthen bowls in which they cook.
"When the men chop kindling they
sit down on their heels just as the
japanese do, and, in fact, nearly al
their work is done in this same
fashion. When their simple culinary
rites are finished they gather around
their pot of rice, and, Dipping in theil

Money Orders to Russia.

For the first time in the history of the
money order branch OF the postal system
it became possible, April 2, to transmit
money from this country TO Russia
through the postofice department. This
is due to the extension of the internation-
al money order system, which became
operative, April 2. The agreement with
Russia is regarded as especially impor-
tant from the fact that the United States
IS the first country to break down the
conservatism of Russia and establish a
system for international money order
exchange. The new agreement provides
for the direct exchange of postofice
money orders following the same plan
as those adopted with other continental
powers. The system does not embrace
Asiatic Russia or Finland, the latter re-
naming as heretofore under the opera
ton of the Swedish convention. Nc
Cook, being an international money or
der office, is equipped to send money
orders to and pay money orders from
Russia.

The Week in Society.

The past week has been a gay one in
McCook's social circles-a number of
functions transporting with all the usual
particulars and engaging features char
acteristic of such efforts i'll our city. We
append brief mention of the leading
events:
HIGH FIVE PARTY
Mrs. A. Barnett was the ''author and
finisher" of an elaborate social affair,
Tuesday evening of this week, in which
about two score ladies of the city partic-
ipated with every indication of absorb
ing delight.
Eight tables were surrounded by en-
thusiastic, engrossed high five players.
Mrs. Anna Golfer was successful among
the tied trio for the first prize, and Mrs.
H. w. Cole won the BOBBY in a drawing
with another equally fortunate guest.
Frappe was served in the hall, which
was attractively decorated in oriental
style. Red was the prevailing color in
the decorations, carnations and smilax
in pretty proflsion being disposed
throughout the several rooms of the
capacious home.
In serving the refreshments, the red
and white colors were carried out as far
as possible and with charming effect.
After refreshments, there was an ar
%tistic, i%mpromptu musical programme
by gifted guests of the evening, which
brought to a regretted close one of the
most enhancing functions of a lively
social season.

PROGRESSIVE CRoK1NoLE.

Miss Selma Noren gave a most enjoy
able and gay progressive crockinole
party, last Saturday evening, in honor
of her guests, Misses Cochrane, WEIGH,
Gregory and Garten of Lincoln. Quite
a company of the young people of the
city participated in the affair which was
delightful as TO its every bright and joy
u particular.
Much of the pleasure of the evening
clustered about the game of progressive
crokinole. Progression was indicated
by miniature rings and ribbon bows.
Knud S~tangland won the first prize, and
the exquisite boquet of carnations.
A fash-light picture taken by Miss
Welch and vocal efforts by Miss Nina
Doan and Mr.. l. B. Taylor were among
the features OF a gay and charming even
ing. The young ladies from Lincoln
also enlivened the evening with ~instru-
mental and vocal selections of a late and
inspiriting sort.
Dainty refreshments were cleverly and
tastefully served, climaxing one of the
charming social events of the season.

Republican Ticket Wins.

The result of Tuesdays city election
must be most gratifying and satisfactory
TO h Republicans of McCook i'll the
most decisive victory achieved Tor the
entire ticket. While success was ex-
pected the pluralities in some instances
are unexpectedly large. This victory
emphasizes the fact hat McCook is Re
publican and Republican from center to
circumference, and that when a clean
ticket of good, competent men is placed
in the field by fair and open and perfect
ly regular means, it only remains to
make out the certificates Of election of
the nominees. The city ticket, this
year, was happily chosen; was Clearly
and ably constituted; the campaign for
its election was conducted in a fair and
manly way; and its success is a source of
great satisfaction and no little comfort
The vote is as follows:

A Princely Entertainer.

At his appearance in the opera hall,
Wednesday evening. under auspices OF
the McCook athletic club, William
Hawley Smith again satisfactorily proved
himself a princely entertainer, before a
splendid audience. His subject was,
Life and Literature" His r~ecitations
were chiefly from James Whitcomb Riley
and Mark Twain, as best illustrating
his ideas about literature that was worth
while and true to life. 1t was through
out a fine treat and left a good taste in
your mouth afterwards. The athletic
club realized quite nicely from the enter
tainment, besides giving the people of
McCook something worth while in the
line of entertainment.
