Adolph Krakauer Was opposed to the
new telephone. He objected to having
to use two, and this, he contended,
would be necessary in Case of q new
one being put in.
@. w. Browne said that he had had
experience with two telephone systems
In Las Vegas, where the rate was cut
one half by the advent of the new
one, although two were now used, and
the service was improved.
AdOlph Krakauer DISPUTED this and
was answered by Mr.. Browne.
Felix Martinez said that the ques-
ton of the new telephone was the same
as that OF the new electric light or the
electric car. Mr.. Kraksuer interrupt
ed, saying it was altogether differ
ent matter and was greeted with
laughter.
Mr.. Martinez went Oh to speak of the
conditions in Las Vegas. He said
there were'two systems there and the
price was $3.50 month for business
houses and Sl.66 for residences, and
good service was given. He went on
70 explain what he meant by this.
Good service, he said, meant that

without avail. In the meantime the cou-
pie prospered, and moved to a more pre-
tentious dwelling on Diamond Street.
During these years the yard at 1921 Dick
inson Street had been sodden and resOd-
edd. then it was bricked, and finally an
asphalt pavement was put down. A cou-
pie of weeks ago the present tenant,
while planting an ivy vine, removed part
of the asphalt, and in digging with her
trowel, turned up the ring. She knew by
the initials whom it belonged to, but
while en- her way uptown to return 1t to
the owner she lost it in a restaurant
where she stopped to take lunch. 1t was
given to the cashier by a waiter who
found it, was advertised, and finally found
its way back to the delighted owner.

VIENNA, Oct. 29.-It seems as if fashion
would scatter the wealth Of the Klondike
over her creations this year, such is the
glitter Of gold that meets the eye every
where. This is particularly evident in the
up to date evening gowns where gold fairly
covers the soft nets and Is woven into
every delicate embroidery. Transparencies
are the prominent feature in every toilette,
and yellow is the newest color. every shade
of that warm color being employed, from
faintest maize to velvety masturtium. The
very latest fad-and a successful one it is
is the combination of two distinct
shades of yellow with touch of black to
soften the effect and give that incompara-
BILE chic which distinguishes the wellmade
costume. One of the most admired crea
tons of the season shows these latest nov
elites and other failures well worthy of

She was now warmed up to the sport

a counter where a cooked cereal was be-

THE FIRST COOK BOOK.
Happily, We Do Not Do az til,
Romans Did.

The honor of having produced the first
cook book in the world belongs to the
Romans. Its authorship has been attrib-
uted TO Cactus Apicius, gastronome
who lived ia years before the Carts ian
era under the Emperor Trajan. Here are
two recipes taken from its pages: First,
for sauce TO be eaten with boiled fowl

cover them with vinegar. add dates. and

thrushes boiled and mixed with he
chopped-up yolk CT egg, Gil. vim 4 ar. pep
per, and wine. Mix and pour these to-
gether and stew them steadily and slow
ly till the perfume is developed
The Romans were very fond Of surprise
dishes, such as pigs stuffed with live
thrushes. and, to anticipate little. this
taste descended SO near cur own Zines as
the reign of Charles II. as witness a
recipe of that date for making two pies
which were to be served together-one
continuing live birds and the her live
frogs. When the latter was open>d out

shrek and skip while the BIRDS WHEN

A Contrast in Cooks.

In an article contributed to a London
paper. John Strange Winter, who has been
living for many months past in Dieppe,
compares the French to the English cook,
rather to the detriment OF the latter I'm
the French kitchen" she says, there is
no waste. 1t would seem that the French
mind does not run to waste or revel in
1t, as the lower class English mind in
variably does"
The French cook will not only do a bit of
the housework but she will do 1t cheer
fully and as matter of course. You can
not buy your French cook too many pans,
and her soul loves copper in her kitchen.
Certainly an English cook would grumble
OF she was expected to keep a kitchen
full OF copper pans bright and clean; but
q French one has them in a condition akin
TO FURNISHED gold. Her pride is gratified
II her kitchen walls are hung with these
ornaments. and even if she does the great
er part Of her small cooking in little enam-
eled pans she will daily rub up the copper
ones which hang on the wall"

Some Household Hints.

To war successfully with spots and
stains one needs a simple armament and
a little knowledge.
This is some part of the knowledge:
Fruit stains of every sort will do no
harm to things washable IL they are wet
through and through with alcohol before
going in the wash. Very big stains, as
those of wines upon table linens, will
come out IL they are first wet with cold
water poured through them for two or
three minutes Stains upon silk or stuff,
or fancy frock beyond laundry posi-
bilities. may be got rid OF thus: Fc |
cheesecloth square thickly and lay it
smooth upon the board. Over that stretch
the stained stuff smoothly right side
down. II there is lining. rip it SO as
to get at the under side. But first brush
not only the stain. but the whole garment
thoroughly. SO as to remove all the in
visible dust and prevent the cleansing
from leaving an ugly circle. worse than
the spot itself. Pour little alcohol
through the spot and dab the place hard
with soft, clean rag. Shift the spot
over a fresh place on the cheese clolh,
and pour on more alcohol, using just
enough the drench the spot itself without
spreading Do this two or three time S,
then look on the right side.
All Stdlu iilOSt out
the color Most times it may be brought
back by sponging the right side very deli
cately with ammonia spirit. But it is well
to try the ammonia first on a scrap of the
stuff, as it may change the inspected sur
face. and thus do more harm than good.
Greens in wash stuff may be renewed with
weak alum water, but here, as with the
ammonia, try it first upon scrap.
Grease sbpots pure and simple upon deli
cate colored silks are best treated with
either French chalk or corn starch Pow
der the chalk fine and fill two little cheese
cloth bags loosely with it. Lay one bag
upon the boad,, stretch the grease spot
right side down, over 1t, and cover the spot
with the second bag, patting 1t out flat. The
chalk ought to be only quarter of an inch
thick. Set heavy. hot iron on top of the
upper bag and leave it there for several
minutes. of course takirg care that it does
not scorch the uncovered silk. Remove
the iron and the chalk bags; then, il the
spot has not wholly disappeared, shake up
the bags SO as to bring fresh chalk TO the
surface and repeat the whole process until
the last speck OF grease has vanished.

The French woman is rarely conceited
about her natural good points. She is
quite willing to admit that they are gone
or going and is much more apt to plume
herself on her skill in making the best Of
what she has than on the recollections Of
what she was or thought she was. 1t is
rare thing TO hear French woman mis-
stating her age or showing any sensitive
ness regarding 1t. vet she gladly welcomes
any aids to her toilet. observes an East
ern writer.
II one has lost her hair 1t is certainly
better to admit the fact and supply The de-
ficiency with false and. although a lost
complexion is less easily restored. a
French woman would tell you that It was
duty to make the attempt.
IF Adele would only do something to
her lips said a worldly French woman
of her daughter-in law. What is the use
of telling the world your digestion Is
weak"
Does it not again argue a certain form
Of conceit to assume that one is indepen-
dent of the external aids to which the
great majority OF women resort? Why
are certain women so proud of the fact
that they never wear corsets or have new
er used powder? In ninety-nine cases out
Of hundred corsets and powder pun
would greatly improve the appearance of
those who pretend to despise them. is 1t
not true that women who care nothing
for dress care a great deal about getting
full credit for their Independent attitude?

men in France to understand
