Tuscarora, including the 10-stamp
mill and cyanide plant. Electric power
will be installed and the mill capac-

OUTDOOR LUXuRIES.
All the Things the Modern Woman
Uses

| Written for The Evening Star
Never has there been n time when the
| woman who goes out to shop" or to
amuse herself was as well treated the
| present. Her commercial value is recog-
| nized and everything is done to make her
! as comfortable as possible. That this is but
| a recent innovation may be seen by the diff
| ferent arrangements in the old and new
shops. In the latter she shopped and left.
| Tn the modern shops every effort is made
| to induce her to lnger. There are large
and luxurious parlors where she rest,
| lie down if she likes or write her letters on
| stationery engraved with the name of the
firm.
1t is not only because women have been
! remiss in the care of their shoes that shoe
backing chairs have been put into many
of the shops. If the shoes mlady wears
have been purchased in that place she
have them polished free of charge. If not.
she will pay five cents, and pretty little
colored girl gives them a shine she can see
her face in.
In one shop there is a patent weighing;
machine in the dressing room. Mill.ly pats
a penny IN the slot and her weight, printed
on a card comes out to her through an
other opening. In the same room there are
electric curling irons with which She can
arrange her disheveed locks.
One large shop has a big wheeled chair.
If a customer anywhere in the establish
ment is suddenly taken ill the chair is
taken to her. She is carried in it to the
dressing room. where a comfortable couch
and an attentive maid await her.
If the woman wishes to invest in tea she
goes to big oriental shop. There is the
prettiest little tea room imaginable. She
can call for cup of OOlong. orange peiloe.
English breakfast, or any desired variety.
1t is served in dainty cups, with plate of
fancy biscuits and all at nominal price.
Milady frequently makes this her only
luncheon. if she Is absorbed in shopping.
Indeed the place Is attractive that a
stray man is often seen slipping his after
noon tea with keen appreciation Proba-
forts offered to woman shoppers are evil
IDENTIFY to his taste.
After her tea the woman may retire 10 a
shaded parlor. furnished in wicker with
blue rugs and hangingS, and blue Canton
china for decoration. Resting in a reclin-
ing chair she will consider how she may
furnish her country home in a similarly
cool and inexpensive way.
Theaters now have parlors for women,
where all the toilet requisites may be
found not emitting the powder pot Sim
liar conveniences may be found in the big
hotels where women drop in for luncheon.
In one much pa troni4ed by women a special
parlor has recently been arranged. It has
cOuches. easy chairs and a desk. and the
private elevator to it Is run by a woman. Il
Even the babies are considered in the
general attention paid to the comfort Of
women. A popular-priced theater has a
nursery. Mothers may attend the daily
matinee and leave their babies asleep In
neat little beds. under the charge OF the
attendant nuzDo. Il

and silken and each individual hair made
to shine. 1T is treatment which certainly
gives bloom to the hair.
If d maiden has only a brief ten min
utes in which to dry her dripping hair after
a bath it may be restored to beauty and
fiuttness in short order by the use of a
nickel plated harbrush with hollow back
and teeth. g..
The brush is so constructed that it sepa-
rates at the handle and into the hollow
back hot water can. be poured. The handle
is then adjusted and the hair can be dried
in very few moments.
An excellent drying lotion for damp hair
is made of half ounce each of powdered BIZ
carbonate of soda and borate of soda and
three ounces each OF bay rum and rose
water.
After moistening cthe hair with this mix
ture it can be curled easily if put up on
kids Or the tongs may be used if dis
patch is necessary. The use of tongs once
twice a day IS not harmful. Heat the
tongs just enough so they will not scorch
paper. An atomizer is convenient to use in
moistening the hair, and either the lotion
recommended or a perfume can be used
Then You Count.
After twisting each lock about the tongs,
hold them until you can count sixty. The
tongs are not too hot. the hair is damp, and
the pressure Is steady and hard
The hair dries under this firm treatment
and the result is a nice, even wave that
will stand a good deal of weather, even
that damp kind which abounds at the sea-
shore. to the vexation of the summer girl
who delights in curls.
The densest sea fogs and the humid
summer air Of the mountains may alike be
indifferent to the girl who possesses an
other secret about making the little sugar
curls that Barrie so likes to write about.
1t is simple and prosaic receipt. Take
the white of an egg. dilute 1t one-thirtl
with water. beat 1t little and put it in an
alright bottle. At night xaturate a comb
with the mixture and pass It through the
