WOMAN'S CHIEF CHARM.
Demands Exquisite Attention
and Care.

Woman's chief charm is her hair,
demanding the most exquisite atten-
ton. 1t is well to lay the founda-
ton of a good head of hair in in
fancy, keeping the ends clipped, hair
thoroughly brushed every day and
the roots carefully washed with tepid
water. One of the best recipes to
prevent the hair from turning gray
is moderation IN living and fire.
quent washings in cold water. Con-
slant worry and prolonged grief
hasten gray hairs. The use of curl
ing-irons, long kept up, also hastens
the ravages of time. Many persons
make the sad mistake of using prep
arations for softening the hair con-
tanning oils or greasy substances.
This is a great error, as they only
obstruct the pores, preventing its
growth, the oils gathering every par
ticle of dust, thereby clogging the
pores of the scalp. Too frequent
shampooing the hair or washing it
with soap and water is very destruc-
tive. Soap, if often used, changes the
color and tends to fade it, although
ordinary yellow kitchen soap keeps
blonde hair from having the usual
dingy appearance. A fine way to
remove dust or oil from the hair is
to dissolve small quantity of white
soap in spirits of wine, rinsing well
with tepid water. The hair, should
always be perfectly dried and well
brushed. Tanning thoroughly sep,
arates the hair, rendering it soft and
pliable.-Pilgrim.

SOME GOOD EGG DISHES.
Anew of the Rest Ways of Preparing
the Everyday Article
of Diet.

The good cook knows that eggs
ent ways as there are days in the
month; consequently those house
holds in which one hears complaints
of monotony of service are not CO..
tered to by intelligent cooks, says
the Washington Star. The following
novel methods of using eggs are
worth trying:
To make eggs salad for party of
six take six hard-boiled eggs, two
ounces of butter, three level tea
spoonfUls of curry pate, two level
teaspoonfuls of essence of anchovy,
pepper and salt if needed, and wa
tercress and lettuce. Boil the eggs
for Is minutes, then crack and place
for five minutes in cold water. This
will prevent them discoloring. Shell
and cut in halves the round way of
the eggs. Take out the yolks care
fully, so as not to break the cases
formed by the whites. Put the yolks
and butter in a basin, work well to-
gether with wooden spoon. Add
curry powder and anchovy essence to
taste (the full amount given here
would be too much for some and too
little for others. Season very care
fully. Pack this mixture evenly into
the whites and then place the two
halves together again, making the
eggs look as if they had not been
opened, When the eggs are ready
cut a small piece of white off I'M
derneath so that they will stand
steadily. Arrange prettily on a dish
with carefully washed and picked
watercress or lettuce.
Deviled poached eggs requireeight
tablespoonfuls of gravy or stock, one
of worcestshire sauce, one of mush-
room catsup, teaspoonful of red
currant jelly or chutney, a table
spoonful of lemon juice, cayenne and
salt to taste. Thicker these ingredi-
ents with small dessertspoonful of
ground rice, bring to the boil, stir
thoroughly and keep warm In a basin
over a saucepan of boiling water till
wanted. Poach as many eggs as you
wish to serve in boiling gravy. When
done, set on q hot dish and cover
with sauce. To improve the dish
each egg may set on piece of toast
or piece of bacon, being covered
with sauce.
Egg pie is useful when meat is not
required. For it thin, short crust is
necessary. Line baking dish with
short crust, then break eggs into it,
taking care to keep the yolks whole.
Add two tablespoonfuls of cream, an
ounce of butter, season to taste,
cover with pastry and cut Sits
across. When the pastry is done,
serve the pie, dressed salad with it.

Miss O'Bryan came to Cripple Creek
with her father, who was also interest
ed in mining in the early SOS, when
Cripple Creek was yet mere tented
village. The trip was then made by
stage coach. Miss O'Bryan, who was
then an expert stenographer, did not
abandon her work on coming to Grip
pie Creek, but at once set up an Of
flee, and with the advent Of the gold
excitement came such a flood of work
as to overwhelm less industrious
woman.
''The very air of Cripple Creek sug-
gested mining" said Miss O'Bryan, in
describing her initiation into the camp,
''the atmosphere breathed it, every
body talked mining, the air was con-
tagious with it. When the excitement
first started invested my meager saw
ings in a small way. The excitement
grew with the hours, and l soon saw

ties"
Miss O'Bryan has an Office in one
of the prominent downtown business
buildings, but spends most of her time
"over the hills" looking after pros
pective and operative claims. She is
regarded as one of the best judges of
gold ore in the district, and on ac-
count of her accurate and honest judg-
ment in quickly analyzing newly dis
covered ore or still newer mining
projects she is usually confronted by
a flood of appeals from all sources,
asking for her opinion,
Miss O'Bryan has charming person
ality, which is in quite refreshing con-
trast to the prosaic surroundings of
a grim mining camp. She is one of the
leading spirits in matters concerning
the welfare and development of the
town, and has always been one of the
first to suggest and carry out merited
improvements, which have made Grip
pie Creek something little better than
mere western mining camp.

HOW TO GET IN.
Some Suggestions for the Use of Any
Person Who Wants to Break
Into Swell Society.

Make ten or twenty millions.
Marry anybody. There is no wom-
an on earth who can't get In with from
ten to twenty millions back of her.
Buy a house on Fifth avenue; also
one at Newport, Mount Desert, Florida,
North Carolina and any other place,
advises the New York Herald.
Buy steam yacht. Have it made
to order. Have the biggest one yet.
Wait.
Go to Europe and thresh around for
awhile. In a year or so you will get
talked about.
Do big things. Quarrel with your
wife occasionally at space rates.
Be snubbed as much as possible at
first. 1t pays in the long run.
Get an automobile and run over some
one. It's fashionable.
Buy hotel and name it after your
self. Charge ten times what any one
else has ever dreamed of.
Wait.
Marry off your daughters, if pos
sible, to foreigners, no matter how
decrepit, immoral or despicable they
are, if they have titles. 1t pays.
Never let, scandal occur in your
own family while there is scandal
anywhere else. Wait for dull period
and then spring it on the public.
Be friend to every newspaper man,
big. little, rich, poor, good, bad and
Indifferent. 1t pays.
Buy diamonds and pearls by the
peck. Your wife will do the rest.
Wait.
Never live with your family long
enough in one place to contract home
atmosphere. Home is death to So
ciety.
Be dull at dinners; they all do it.
Begin and snub those beneath you
as early in the game as possible; your
progress upward will be indicated by
the number you can snub.
Rally around the divorce court.
Cultivate your enemies; they, will
help you along.
Don't be afraid of being too vulgar;
it's good "ad."
Don't stint your women; they need
the money.
Feed everybody. To do this collect
cooks. A good cook is the corner stone
of social success.
Wait.
Buy up church or so; it's good me-
dunn. Many woman has entered the
kingdom of society through a pew.

brief but exciting skirmish between
Senator Quay and those senators opposed
to the admission of the territories aspiring
to statehood. The Pennsylvania Senator
frankly stated that it had been common
talk in committee room and lob y that
the bill was to be killed by dilatory tao
tics, but that he was prepared to ''stand
pat" on the proposition that statehood
had been promised by the platform of the
last national convention, aud he added,
IF the republican party can lie to the
people about one plank it can lie about
all" The opposition. while avoiding the
direct implications OF Senator Quay,
spared for tiuie aud the matter was post
poned, TO be taken up at O'Clock Mon

the republicans are opposed to it, is evil
dent, but there is considerable likelihood
that the opposition will gain its point aud
