APOLOGY and KETRIC TON.

AHOLOGl AND KETRiC1lON.
In the columns of The Virgin
ia Enterprise, there appeared on
the 9th day of December, 1899,
an article, written by tie under
signed, scurrilously and malic>
iausly attacking the personal
and private character of 2. E..
Bowling. editor of the Eveleth
Star.
In this attack on Mr.. Bowling,
which We now confess was false
and malicious and gathered from
sources wholly unreliable, we
accused the said P. e. Downing
of being hated GU. Of the city
Of Tower, a. neighboring town
on vhe Verm:;io range, and Of
stealing and taking away with
him printing outfit and also
attempting to steal away a soda
fountain with a chatlel mortgage
attachments. We further ac>
cused Mr.. Bowling Of failing to
turn over to the village treasury
Of Eveleth the sum of $4,000 un~
til threatened by a grand jury
Indictment. For each and every
one of the Sc false accusations
and statements we now extend
to MIR. bowling d full and abso
lutte apology and feel that ip the
publication Of. the same on .Dec>
ember 9Th, 1899, ADD later, their
reproduction IN another range
paper, we have done P. E.
Downing a great injury: that we
reflected upon his good name
and by our malice endeavored to
place a stigma upon his charac
ter that nothing less than a full
and retraction can
amend.

box couch, made with a cavernous,
hollow inside, is the best place in which
to keep much trimmed gowns. The size
of the big box inside the couch is such
that dresses may be spread out fiat.
When the upper part of the couch,
which forms the cover, is shut down,
they are protected from dust. Other
clothes cases may be improvised from
packing boxes, cut low to admit of
their being transformed into window
seats or other ornamental pieces of
furniture All that is needed is some
pretty cretonne or denim covers, some
brass headed tacks and a fitted mat
tress for the top.
Shirt waist boxes may be made from
wooden soap boxes These, covered
smoothly with cretonne, the lids ad
justed with brass hinges and the ends
of the box ornamented with fanciful
brass hinges, are useful for a score of
purposes and ornamental in a bedroom
as well. If the box is rough one. it
is good plan to tack over its surface
very heavy, smooth paper, taking care
to have no ridges either at the corners
or elsewhere.
A combined clothes press and cabinet
may be put up in any room where there
is need of a closet and no space for one.
A carpenter should build the frame
and the drawers. One-ha1f should be a
WARDROBE maze OF SuCn 40l&nLs as Will
suit the convenience. and the other
portion should be fitted with drawers
half the height of the wardrobe. Up
one side of the portion fitted with
drawers a series of small shelves may
ascend. bringing the height of that side
little above that of the wardrobe
The upper portion may be ornamented
with one of the decorative ratings
sometimes used as a finish over door
shelves. All the woodwork should be
carefully planed Off and sand papered
by the carpenter. Then it should be
enameled and the drawers each fitted
with brass handles A tiny rail should
be glued around each of the shelves.
The wardrobe and open spaces not to
be fitted with ornamental doors or
drawers should be supplied with brass
rods and hanging draperies-
In the wardrobes a great many gowns
can be hung away If wire hangers are
used for skirts and Jackets. These
hatten out the skirts so that quite a
number may be successfully disposed
of in one place. When waists and jack
cts are laid away in chests, they should
be stuffed with paper to keep them
from crushing.

THE LATEST IN BL0USES-

In spite of rumors of the early part
of the season, bIouses of every. kind are
more popular than ever. During the
earlier part of the day they are Of the
simplest character, but for afternoon
or evening wear it is just the contrary
as the materials employed in their con-
struction are very expensive and, If or
dered to be made in the usual way, cost
great deal of money on account Of
the high prices that have to be paid by
the dressmakers for skilled machinists
and embroideresses-
The demand for fine needlework and
artistic silk embroidery for decorating
the fronts and collars of blouse boo1ces
is unprecedented. Real lace forms the
upper half of some of the most expen-
siye blouses. and the Jokes are worn
next to the skim. e., without foun-
dalton of any kind. The effect is very
beautiful and more suitable than 1eay-
ing the throat and shoulders exposed.
Below the fullness of the figure the
silk or crepe de chine is gathered up
into narrow tucks, and some of them
are so fine that it makes one wonder
how hands and eyesight could be so ac-
curate as to turn out such stitching
and SO regularly gauge the space be-
tween each tiny fold.
Satin merv and china silks can now
be purchased already plated and tuck
ed, or the material might be bought in
the usual way and the plating or the
embroidery could be done for a small
outlay at almost any sewing machine
shop BY this means stylish looking
blouse can be acquired by any one who
has the time to spare and the inclina-
ton to make it herself, as the construc-
ton Of the blouse is a very simple mat
ter.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1900-09-15

garnished is a very agreeable accom-
paniment to cold roast beef; with cold
mutton serve tomato salad; with cold
chicken a Russian salad favored with
celery seed. The ordinary manufac-
tured vinegars are just little too
strong for the average salad; they
should be diluted, or lemon juice may
be used instead. A good rule to re-
member is that salads made from I'M
cooked vegetables, such as cress or let
tuce, are better served with lemon
juice, while those cooked, as French
beans, cauliflower and asparagus, are
better with tarragon vinegar.
1t is easier in mixing a salad dressing
to mix the OIL salt and pepper together,
and then at last add the vinegar, giving
few rapid beats to make the emulsion
perfect. When the dressing is put over
the salad, it should be served at once,
or the green's will wither and become
tough and indigestible.
