We
American women have much to learn
In the matter of raising the skirt, and
the lesson could be best taught by their
French cousins. To begin with, the
French woman wears short petticoats,
hardly below the boot tops. American
skirts barely escape the floor, and are
bound to catch whatever dust and dirt
are lying about, and, Of course. deposit
It upon the shoes.
French women grasp. firmly and cas-
lily, the folds of the skirt at the back in
such fashion that the drapery is grace
fully lifted at the sides as we'll as at
the back. and without calling undue
attention to the lines of the figure. In
this way skirt, petticoat and shoes are
all kept clean, and furnish a strong
reason for the unkindness bestowed by
French women upon the short walking
skirt. When they need the effect of
draperies. they can have it by merely
dropping the folds Of the skirt.

Good Advice to Young Mothers.
1t Is often serious detail to find q
quiet amusement that will keep little
invalid happy and contented. It is es-
pecially difficult to amuse a GONZALES
cent child. who Is naturally active and
restless and who requires quiet and rest
for rapid recovery. For the little ones
who are too young for the enjoyment
of books or who are not allowed to
strain the eyes by looking at bright pic
lures. amusement may be furnished by
the manufacture OF animals. Make lit
tie turtles Of large raisins with cloves
stuck In for feet, hands and tail. To-
make such turtle. hatten large
raisin, stick Glove with the blossom
on In one end for the head; remove the
bud from four cloves and stick them
at the four corners for feet, and cut the
end off of one Glove to make the tail.
A still more fascinating process OF
manufacture can be enjoyed from firm
apples or white potatoes. as there is a
chance for allowing the imagination
full sway. A knife and well-washed
potatoes will afford amusement for
many hours, when combined with box
of toothpicks. The potatoes may be-
cut in slices and from these slices all
sorts Of animals fashioned, using long
and short lengths of toothpicks for feet
and tails, and for the legs the toothpicks
may be partly broken and bent into nat
ural-looking shapes, and still remain
firm enough to support the small potato.

YELLOWSTONE PARK EXCURSION
American Tourist Association VIII
Travel In the West This
Year.

An extended tour to the Yellow
stone Park has been arranged by the
American Tourist Association, of
which Reau Campbell is general man
ager. Many people of this vicinity
are going, as the itinerary is leisurely
and there are such long stops at all
points of interest that the travellers
will be able to make extended explora-
tions of such places as Pixies Peak
and Garden of the Gods, in Colorado.
The itinerary of the tour includes
a visit to unique Salt Lake City and a
long ride in sight of the Rocky Noun
tains. The same features that have
hitherto made these tours so popular
will be prominent this year. There
will be utmost privacy for small par
ties in the Pullman sleeping and din
ing cars, and all the coaches used on
the drives will be for the exclusive
use of the tourists.
The American Tourist Association
has also arranged tour of Alaska,
and if individual members of the
Yellowstone party desire to continue
further north, the trip will be incor-
porated in the itinerary. The cost
of tickets for these tours includes all
expenses everywhere.
Full particulars will be furnished
upon application to

Remembered the Printers.

Mr.. ]. 7. Hoyt, the champion straw
berry raiser of Lincoln Park, remem-
bered the printers of the RECORD Of
fee last Saturday by leaving for each
member of the force two boxes of
luscious fruit. 1t is needless to say
they were enjoyed by the recipients.
Mr.. Hoyt has about three acres in
the choicest varieties, and up to and
including his Tuesdays picking had
delivered to trade in this city not less
than 500 crates of strawberries which
brought him the highest market
price. His Tuesdays picking was
from a new half-acre patch, and ~
crates was the result.
