the sailor suit admits of infinite variety.
There are suits of flannel. Of cheviot, Of
serge of mohair. and of all the new silky
fabrics. Some are braid trimmed some are
strapped with cloth or hand embroidered: :
but all have the finishing touch Of the sail
or collar trimmed in some pretty way.

slightly above a pair of high shoes.
The sailor waist is loose fitting in the
back, and the pleated front blouses slight

rows of bright green silk braid and half
inch wide stitched bands of the same shade

cuff A finishing touch of color is given
by the green silk tie. which is loosely knot

broidered with the rings.
One of the blue and green mixture Scotch

with this suit. Il
Another sailor suit is of cheviot in one

The plain skirt is fitted into the band by
a succession of narrow pleats. 1t reaches
just below the knee of its eight-year-old
wearer, and has for its only trimming a
double band OF white silk running down
the middle of the front from the waist to
the bottom of the hem. These white silk
bands are really a sort Of passementerie

they are appliqued with circles Of a dark

"Oh. that was how it used to be-" was the

A canvass of the shops will prove her
statement. The childrens ready-to-wear de-

children. A growing child cannot have her

only difficult part is the selection of color

Even the gingham aprons which were the
bugbear of many a beauty-ioving child
have blossomcd out into prettiness. One
gingham apron Is ring-dotted in blue on a
white ground. The full skirt is gathered
into deep shaped yoke of all-over blue

aprons have the long French waists belted
in by a wide sash of the material or of rib

The headgear of the small school girl is
as simple as her frocks. Tam oShanters
are always correct. The bright red ones
look CHEEKY on a cold day. For the oider

with black in imitation of ermine. A wide
white silk corded ribbon bands the round
crown, and the ends hang a good six inches
down the back.
Wet Weather Hats.
Patent leather hats appear every au-

are serviceable for wet weather." the sales
man explains. Whether the children will
keep them long unmarried by scratches is
another question. This year they are in the

ways believe that no one else
knows that he paid to- have the
pretty little family biography in
serted; and perhaps he himself
does not realize that that is all
the book is issued for; and that
the family biography serves the
same purpose as does a worm on
a fishhook.
One of the amusing things is
that many of the people who
give up their $25 for this sort of
a thing would blush with indig-
nation at the thought of taking
five or six inches of newspaper
advertising columns and setting
forth the family history in the
same manner as the grocer does
the goods his shelves contain;
and yet it is exactly the same
thing, and the beauty of it is
that everybody will know it.
Probably $50 would secure the
insertion of a portrait or a pict-
ure of the house. Try it!

MAKE MONEY WITHOUT WORKING.
An Appeal to Vanity That Returns Big Profits.

DusincSS men OF this town and
several citizens of the valley were
bilked out of from $40 to $25I
each on afake advertising scheme
some two years ago, we publish
the following, from the Carson
News, to give warning that
another scheme is on foot to
again blk the unsuspecting:
Any scheme that will tickle the
vanity of the average CITIZEN will
accomplish the transfer of the
citizens cash to the hand of the
wise one without any difficulty.
Acting upon this well known
fact an eastern concern has hit
upon most happy way of sepa-
rating Nevadans from their
money. This company is issuing
a so-called History OF Nevada.
which of course will be a remark
able volume, ETC., and anyone
can determine by reading the
prospectus, if there be one, or by
listening to the agent if there be
not.
This agent catches the modest
and worldly citizen and at once
proceeds to apply his fattery
pump. He tells Mr.. Citizen how
prominent he is in the affairs of
the State, and he has such a con-
vincing manner of speech that
the Nevadan wonders that he
has not thought of his own
prominence in the community
before.
OF course no one will be men,
toned in such an important
work as a history, save those
who deserve to have their names
handed down to posterity. Any
one can understand that such a
volume could not be burdened
with the ordinary individuals
pedigree. About the time the lis
tener wonders how in thunder his
neighbors have overlooked him
for Congress, the gent begins
writing up a sketch of his now
ready victims life. 1t goes back
to the time of short clothes and
before, and contains all the thrill
ling events up to the time when
the subject was a delegate to a
county convention and was once
elected school trustee. There is
not so much solid substance in
the proposed write-up, but there
is pile of prominent citizen
leading spirit" substantial
citizen" etc, that makes Mr.. Citi-
zen swell up with pride again.
He is now ripe and ready for
plucking, which the agent for this
history does by informing him
that the write-up will appear in
the history, volume of which
he will sell the Nevadan at the
extremely low price of S25, and
of course the Nevadan bites like
an ice-locked trout. He puts up
his good, hard $25 for a two
dollar book, and in course OF
time he will be made happy by
its arrival, bound in dark colors
and stamped in gold, and it will
lie on the family center table or
other prominent place, and the
visitor will never listessly turn
the leaves that Mr.. Citizen or
some of his family will not cas-
ually, as it were, turn to the
place where the family story lat
S25 per volume) is told, and it
will continue to be the pride and
the JOY of Mr.. Citizen, although

Household Stores.

The proper storing of food is understood
By few housekeepers. Witness the dry
cheese and the damp crackers not infre
quently encountered.
Vegetables. if stored for any length Of
time. should be picked over once every
week Otherwise. decay starting in a sin
gle potato or carrot, will contaminate all
the Others in the same bin.
1t Is not generally known that coffee
loses strength and flavor when exposed to
the air. 1t should therefore. be kept in
a closed canister. The same rule applies
to tea, which Is apt to become mouldy.
Spice. pepper. dried herbs and baking
powder must also have the air excluded
from them if they are to be kept in good
condition. Dried fruit should be stored
in stone jars Apples and pears. if espe-
cially fine, should be wrapped separately
in soft tissue paper and covered with fine,
dry sand.
Glasses of jelly and marmalade Ought to
stand in dark place, as light is apt to
work a serious chemical change If no
other way can be found, wrap each jar in
thick paper.
Cheese should be swatted in tinfoil or in
soft paper. A clean rag dampened and
wrapped about it keeps it moist.
Be very careful to keep -four, pulverized
sugar. corn meal, oat meal and salt very
dry. Tin boxes with close fitting lids are
desirable for all these In damp weather
mix little corn starch with the salt served
on the table
The paper wrappings should be removed
from meat as soon as possible, and it should
be placed on dish near the ice, but not
upon it. Close contact with ice renders
meat fabby and viscid.
Bread and cake boxes need frequent
seedlings and airings, besides being set out
in the sunlight. 1t is a good plan to wrap
bread and biscuits in clean, dry cloths.
Another good example set by experience
ed housekeepers is to have clean cheese
cloth bags into which to put the lettuce,
spinach and so forth, which it is desirable
to store in the refrigerator.
Table butter, if wrapped in dampened
pieces of cheesecloth, will keep much more
sweet and firm than otherwise
