eyes upon the snow crested sum-
mits of the Sierra, lovely Reno IS
- dreaming Of future greatness-of
a boom, in fact. Down from
mountains ribbed and scanned
with precious ores comes the
Truckee sparkling, flashing, ever
u q singing; now flecked with white
as it is whirled into eddies, now
dropping with sheer weight, as water
falls in masses Of foam. Strong as a
multitude of giants to turn wheels and to
awaken the cadences Of falling stamps,
its hurrying flood also promises fruitful
ness to thousands Of arid acres and makes
lands that not long ago produced only
sagebrush blossom as the rose.
On the northern heights Of Reno the
Nevada State University, commanding
view Of the eternal mountains that rim
the fortunate Washoe Valley, also sur
veys remarkably pleasing vista of roofs
and spires that nestle amid rows of pop
lar and cork elms, whose LEAKAGE, touched
by the season and the frost, flames yellow
against the blue background of the far
mountains flame of pure gold.
Here are the three sources Of Reno's
present prosperity and the basis of her
reasona BILE dream of development-the
wealth giving mountains, the wealth Civ
ing river and the institution of learning
which draws 10 IUlS C6uleI nSu VI oil
classes who seek education for their chill
dren. The agriculture and stock and
sheep raising. that are important factors
in the development of Washoe County,
depend upon the caters of the Truckee
and its many tributary streams. This
trinity of favoring causes have made
Reno thriving and charming, but the
growth of the community has been steady
rather than rapid until within the last
few months.
Wedekind Appears.
Now there appears upon the scene
little old man who is sitting on over
used blackboard and who treads the
Reno streets daily, driving a sway-backed
and flea bitten old white horse that only
Just moves when goaded by a green
switch from a Lombardy poplar. Day
after day. month after month. year after
year, this little old man has Travelled the
same road in the morning and has re-
turned the same way every night, the
weather permitting. His clothes are rag
geo. His old white hat has long been
overdue in the refuse pile. But stop
minute and peer under that white hat.
There you shall see frank blue, German
eyes, a little faded, but with the CLINT OF
courage in them. The lower part Of the

shorter than the curved back combs and
has high fancy top, usually carved. The
sets include three in number two curved
ones for the sides and one longer and
broader for the back.
Putting these combs in place is not
simple matter in itself. Hairpins must lie
so adjusted that there is no danger Of
breaking either the combs or the pins, for
tortoise shell is extremely fragile. The
side combs are put in place first, close TO
the knot, if the hair is worn on top of the
head, and well toward the front: the large
curved back comb fits across, overlapping
the ends of its side partners. The hair
should be ftuffed out around the combs and,
If desired, clasp or smaller comb may be
placed quite low.
This additional bit of shell serves to keep
In place those unruly "scolding locks" that
are the bane of all women. With this set
of three combs may be worn a fourth,
curved in shape, and fitting across the
front to keep the pompadour or roll prop
erly arranged.
When roses aigrettes or any other made
up ornaments are worn the combs may be
placed in the hair in the usual way, though
generally fewer are required.
Among the fancy decorations for the hair
quite the smartest and newest one is the
chaplet of bay leaves glistening with sill
yer or bright with red paillettes. The rich
red leaves wreathing head of pale yellow
hair is decidedly chic in effect. Another,
chaplet of deep yellow roses and overlap
ping green leaves, spangled with rhine
stones. is also very pretty. Black velvet
and silver, with a full white aigrette, Is
still another new and pretty ornament.
These ornaments come In great variety Of
STYLES and colors, and it remains with the
individual to select-frst, what is becoming
then the smartest of the fads and fancies.
Whatever the combs may be the essential
point is to have them fit the head and feed
comfortable. If they do not fit are put
in the hair wrong, it means headache and
nervousness for the wearer.

seems that there is a specially designed
one for each unruly lock of hair. They ap-
pear in the form of blessings on windy
days when the added protection of two
wells is scarcely sufficient in preserving the
well-groomed appearance always desired.
Beside being very useful, these bits of tor
toise shell really add much to the smart
ness of ones toilet, for at present they are
considered quite the thing. No matter how
simply or elaborately the hair may be
dressed q circlet of these combs surrounds
the coil or knot with sometimes clasp
or smaller comb placed low in the back or
directly on top.
Hair that is fluffy and blows about is a
trial to the Smartly gowned women in
town though this very perverseness of her
locks may be decidedly picturesque in ef-
feet when golfing or sailing. So she con-
fines her refractory curls under jeweled or
daintily carved tortoise shell combs. Some
of these combs are exquisite In design and
elaborately decorated, and even when now
ers or other ornaments are worn the comb
still reigns supreme. In fact, combs have
grown to be quite as necessary a part OF
the toilet as hat pins or gloves.
One that is very pretty and is to be worn
in the back has spray of jewels across
the top, punches of grapes made of tiny
pearls and leaves of gold. Others have
solid rims of gold or silver, or are set with
pearls and brilliants. Those with heavy
polished tops are also considered very
smart Then there is another which is

To form an enjoyable acquaintance with
the birds it is best not to depend on such
chance encounters as are derived from a
ramble through their haunts The passer-
by is usually in the midst of a calm that
Tadiates from his presence as the little
area of light radiates from and surrounds
one who carries a lantern on dark night
and comparatively distant forms and songs
will be nearly all that can be noted. Nor
can a very thorough acquaintance arise
from such casual observation. 1t is neces-
sary, in order to secure really valuable
results, that We should go to some favor
able spot and there quietly remain allow
ing the inhabitants of the place to become
TedSSIred and TO resume their interrupted
aVocations without shyness or other re-
straint. and the early morning is the best
time for observation. for then the birds
are always most numerous most active and
most tuneful.

When Mr.. Korber and the bookkeep.

checks scattered on the Office floor

was at once aroused that some person

that the counter cash drawer had
