GEORGIA IS BETTER
THAN ARID ARIZONA

Mr.. Robert r. Bren is well
known in Georgia, over which he
has travelled many years. He is
now living in Arizona for the
benefit of his health. Recently
he discovered the following com
munication in the Arizona Repub-
lican from Fitzgerald, Ca:
Dear Sir: We expect to
leave here, perhaps for Arizona,
and would like to know some
thing of your county. We wish
to take up a homestead. Will
you kindly inform me if there is
land in the county subject to
entry? Is it good land? Does
it need irrigation or fertilizing?
How high is the temperature in
summer and how low is the tenn
perature in winter? Do you
have storms? Are there any
nomadic Indians in the county?
Is DR.. William Duf6e1d living in
your city? Any information you
may think of in regard to the
county would be gratefully re.
ceived, Respectfully. A. HI
Mr.. Bren in a letter to the
Telegraph says:

London, April 23.-Rumors of
severe fighting on the Yalu river
are repeated in various forms
and from various points. For
instance, the Shanghi correspon-
dent of the Morning Post says
he hears that the first Japanese
army had crossed the Yalu al
NEST without opposition, and the
Daily Chronicles correspondent
at Seoul says that heavy fighting
has occurred but that for strate-
gic reasons it is impossible to
to send particulars. No anthem
tic news, however, has reached
London showing that anything
has happened beyond skirmish-
ing.
According to the Daily Tele-
graphs St. Petersburg cores

gists are reluctantly arriving at
the conviction that Gen. Kuroki
s:sis engaged in the adventurous

sbowIno III. Comma Mode.


One new gown in advance OF the
resents the coming mode in dress
toilets. Intended for blonde young
woman, 1t is of the loveliest shade Of
rose pink silk of weave closely re-
sembling Louisiene. The skirt Is dane
fng length and is made on a founda-
tion OF white taffeta. The rufIles,
which are deep. are shirred on in
fancy design. making scallops and
small rosette effects. There are two
of these rufIies, which run into a
straight panel in front. The bodice
has a yoke of cream, snowdrop-pattern
lace and a deep fall of the same over
the shoulders; the sleeves are elbow
in length and consist Of an upper
sleeve in three deep scallops of silk.
shirred on the edges and bordered
with lace. under which is a full puffed
sleeve of rose pink chiffon with a lace
fall. The high girdle is of silk and
lace with Jet nailheads set in the CEN
ter of each of the six small rosettes
which form the front as well as the
back decoration. About the bottom of
the short bodice is a deep flounce of
lace. which falls over the hips and
forms a ruffle. The stock and the front
of the yoke show a narrow trace of
gold and black. which. together with
the jet nailheads, gives the requisite
touch of black which is almost indis-
pensable IL the costume is to have the
best style.

ExerXthinn Tucked.

Everything is shirred or tucked this
summer. Shirt waists are tucked,
and whole frocks arc tucked, and
smart little coats are tucked or plait-
ed all over Gowns of soft materials
are shirred. and 1t is the prettiest pos
sible way to make them. The one
illustrated this week is charming
example. 1t is of white dimity. dotted
with pink. The waist las shirred
yoke. and then blouses over a girdle
of pink silk. The skirt is shirred in
four places. and finished with little
rufie at the foot. A hat of white
shirred lawn is worn with this frock.
the only trimming being a big soft
bow of pale pink ribbon. The shirt
waist illustrated this week is of de-
sign suitable for silk linen, or any
wash goods. The fiat little box plaits
are very smart. and the lace or en-
broidery used down the front and
around the neck gives very pretty
finish.

Currant jelly,

To make currant jelly that will keep
almost any length of time: Weigh
one pound of sugar to each pound OF
fruit; after weighing. put the currants
in a patent wine press or in fine
sieve that the seeds will not go
through; 1t is not necessary to strip
the ourrants from the stems; press
the Juice all out; then strain it
through very fine sieve or through
a cheese cloth; pour the juice after
straining into preserving kettle. and
stand 1t over slow fire. When the
juice is quite hot. stir in the sugar.
and keep stirring until 1t is dissolved.
Let the whole simmer gently till it
drops as thick as jelly from the
spoon; then pour the jelly into glasses
and stand 1t in the sun until 1t Is
quite stiffened; then paste paper over
the tops of the glasses.

Neckwear Novelties.

Novelties in neckwear are to be met
with everywhere. and SO long as the

Just few women-they are always
English and as a rule of the rag and
bone and hank of hair persuasion
still denude themselves of collar
and wear string of pearls to supply
its loss, but they are hopelessly out
of style. For an afternoon or semi
evening blouse the transparent collar
of lace or embroidery is necessary
but for morning wear fancy runs riot
in the way of little linen jabots and
cravats. The narrow turnover collar
of linen or lawn is still chic. and SO
neat and becoming that 1t will not cas-
lily be ousted from the fashionable re.

Care Of the Hair.

Eau de quinine has no effect upon
the color of the hair and is excellent
to make 1t grow. Sprinkle 1t on the
scalp three times a week before re-
firing and massage 1t in with the Il. s
of the ten fingers. then divide the hair
into small proportions and brush we'll.
Whenever possible, let the hair fall
loose. This will add to its growth.
Pure vaseline also massaged into the
scalp once a week is very good.
Never touch the hair with a curling
iron. but II 1t needs fiuffiness. rough it
underneath with the comb as the hair
dressers do. This should be carefully
brushed at night.

Velvet Hat Trimming.

new and simple method of using
wide ribbon velvet on a large hat was
exemplified by a woman lunching at
Sherry's. The hat was dull green. 1t
had wide brim and low round crown,
the latter very small in proportion to
the brim. The straw was fine chip
A band of dark green velvet encircled
the crown. and from it. at irregular
intervals. extended plain fiat widths of
the velvet ribbon. the ends cut in two
points-that is. a V-shaoed section was
cut out of the centre at each eni.
These pointed sections were of differ
ent lengths. and one extended nearly
to the edge of the brim. Two or three
similar sections we're fastened to the
underbrim, which flared up a little at
one side.-New York Tribune.

st. Petersburg society is brilliant.

and beauty of its women, but also
owing to the splendid uniforms and
blazing decorations of It's men. The
ladies wear such diamonds as are only
seen on exhibitions or in the windows

mands OF st. Petersburg are famous,
