By proving to your merchant
That Label now is king"

Ye should not stoop to less

The souls Oppressed plead strong,

Business Houses Burglarized.

Five Of our business houses were
visited by burglars last Saturday
night. The drug store of Doris,
Cheek & Co.. the 7. G. |. & r. Il.
Co, store, W. B. Hollis store, the
City Meat Market and Anderegg
Bros Meat Market were entered by
the burglars an robbed of the con-
tents of their cash drawers. In the
main the amounts OF cash thus OBJ
tanned was small. The heaviest loss
was perhaps sustained by w. B.
Holt, whose cash register was de-
molished. The clews left by the
burglars leave strong hope for an
early capture. That no stones will
be left unturned to apprehend them
goes without saying.

is the announcement that mittens have
come to pay US an extended visit dur
ing the summer, and so alluring are
the new hand coverings that / am sure
la mode decreed the wearing of elbow
sleeves only to introduce the nitten.
The most approved mitten is of chan

lite shades are in black, white and the

long suede gloves reaching to the elbow
adorned with an edging of flowers to
match the gown with which they are
worn Another eccentricity in the
glove line which in my opinion is to be
avoided are the giants having designs
worked out in white chain stitch on
the backs These gloves transform
ones hand for the time being into a
sort of second rate machine made dolly.
Along with the mitten and the elbow
sleeve comes the revival of the bracelet
of OLD fashioned design. notably beauti-
full miniatures worn on velvet bands
around the wrist. AS a perfect wrist
is a rare possession, we welcome as a
saving grace the bracelet fad, which
so charmingly conceals this defect.

in the street it is waved in salutation
or greeting. The successful japanese
generals are today directing the move
ments of their troops with long han
died fans. On important occasions
such as at present exist in this little is
land, upon which all eyes are turned,
libels and political caricatures are
transmitted on them, and in the nurs-
cry the nurse watts the fan to and fro
to keep off the insects and luu her
charge to sleep. The clever little Jap
anese have the honor of inventing the
first collapsible or folding fans in
about $50 A. D.
Who, though, can WELD the fascinat-
ing fan so successfully as the Spanish
donna? Disraeli says in the land of
Spain the fan speaks a particular Ian
guage, and gallantry requires no other
mode to express its most subtle con-
ceits than through this delicate ma
chine. Stin the Spanish beauty's fan
does not compare in artistic merit with
the fans of France and England. The
distinctively American fan is yet to be
evolved.
German fans are brilliant in coloring.
though somewhat heavy in technique.
The genius of the art of Holland re-
fleets itself in fan painting. The sub
jects are generally miniature sea views
or quaint little bits showing blue ca
nals. with fishing boats and old world
vessels.

when artist and artisan labored for
love and not for gain alone. We're things
of elegance and beauty. bur the ma
chine made sticks of today are in most
cases very good limitations.
Miniature fan painting is an art that
is being revived, and a number of wo-
men are making a speciality of it The
fan, which has held its sway for many
centuries, is likely to continue indefi-
nitely in vogue among women Of fash
ion, both as a useful and coquettish
weapon and as a dainty object for the
collectors cabinet.

For the Face.

Too much soap and water is not good
for the face; it has a tendency to
coarsen the skin and to make it rough.
1t should be thoroughly washed at
night before retiring to rest with
good complexion soap and warm water
All skins cannot stand the same soap
SO one or two kinds should be tried
and when a satisfactory make of soap
is found it should be continued to be
used. In the morning it viii be sufh-
Gent to battle the face in cold water.
using no soap whatever. If liked, a.
little oatmeal may be used. After the
nightly wash little emoIlient may be
rubbed into the skin to prevent rough
ness, and during the day to cleanse the
face rub it with the emollient, which
should be removed by rubbing the face
with dry oatmeal of the finest quality.

its little life upon all kinds Of gar
ments, is not absent even from this
serviceable travelling coat and appears
in a wide AInanese variety upon the
cuffs of the kimono wrap and on the
opening at the neck
A light cloth both as to color and
weight is being used for the three
quarter length touring coats, and, en-
PEASANT, let me say that these shorter
wraps are really smarter than the long
ones.
Very stunning is a coat made with a
deep yoke. from which the skirt is hung
in few plaits back and front. Revers
and cuffs are of silk outlined with a
narrow galloon. All these coats are
lined with soft, changeable taffeta silk
and are exquisitely tailored and fin
ished.
A very swagger hat to wear with the
travelling coat has just made its ap-
pearance in an exclusive millinery
quarter. At first glance it looks like a
japanese basket, but upon further in
spection proves to be a fascinating lit
tie hat made of stitched oriental Grape.
The crown is boat shaped and keeps in
countenance a Triangular turned up
brim- The only trimming is a band of
stamped japanese leather. Speaking of
hats, the Parisienne affects those that
turn up sharply at the back and tilt far
over the face. Indeed, in the best mil
linery examples the silhouette is every
thing. the decorative detail counting for
nothing in comparison. A queer fan

The period at which Addison wrote
these charming lines was time of in
trigue, of powder, rouge and patches,
and no lady's toilet was really made
without her elegant fan, lace hand
kerchief and vinaigret The English
fans of the eighteenth century are of
exquisite workmanship. One favOrite
decoration is of medallions represent
ing classical groups of figures watch
ing doves. The coloring is after Angel
lea Kaufman, and much of the work
was doubtless done by this celebrated
artist.
The folding fan was introduced into
France by Catherine de Medici, and
this valuable auxiliary of woman
reached its height in the region of
Louis XIV. In the hands of the pow
dered duchesses and marquises of the
old regime it was a weapon and a
symbol. It had. like diplomats, a Ian
guage of its own. which was learned

some of Rebou1,s whim..

Caroline Reboux, the shining light of
the millinery world who dictates and
dominates all the other milliners. of
Paris. has a delightful new idea in a
hat with corners. The customary tri-
cOrne has its angles at the front and
sides, but this new notion gets its cor
ners placed diagonally, one to the right
of the front, the other one to the left
and the third to the right of the back
of the hat. 1t is quite a small shape,
and on the left side, where the brim is
very much raised and is wider, it is
massed with exquisitely shaded roses
and a manipulation of ribbon velvet,
which Reboux often chooses to use in
a soft shade of what we call electric
blue. For this shade she has a spe-
ciaI liking just now, and one of the
new models is a mushroom hat of chip
straw encircled with marvelously shad-
ed pink roses and hung with a very
quantity fashioned veil of brown chan
tilly ring net and lace. Another, a hat
of brown chip straw, was encircled
with a ruche formed of loops of finely
lowered and striped quaint old world
ribbon, with tucked round the hat in
the center of the ruche a twist of cleo
trio blue velvet ribbon.

The craze for military effects has in
vaded another branch of costume-that
of the rain and travelling coats. These
coats are now seen in all colors of wa
terproof tweed and in ordinary water
proof material severely tailored and
trimmed with straps, bands and epau-
let's touched with gold. On the blue
coats the military effect is gained with
gold buttons and braid or with straps
and buttons of new shade of red
called Cairo.

by every woman before she entered So
ciety. With it could be expressed a
wish, a promise, a refusal or a pardon.
In the fans of this period historical and
categorical subjects are mostly depict
ed. A charming fan gem represents
Nine. Valerie in a fantastic garden re-
ceiving the homage of Renown, Vic
tory and Poetry. The sticks of these
fans are long, usually of ivory or
mother-of- pearl, deliberately carved and
gilded, tapping each other so they make

The decoration of fans has always
proved fascinating to French artists,
and such masters as Fragonard, Bou-
cher, Watteau and Lancret did not
consider the painting of lovely figures
on the dainty weapons as beneath
their dignity. In the Louis XIV. period
they were beautifully finished by the
four Martin brothers with a bright
varnish which gave the painting an. ap-

The decadence of the fan begins with
the Louis XVI. reign, and the golden
age of this fragile toy ends in France
with the revolution. These elegant lit
