The silk or gauze material which is
to be made into a gown, is stretched
upon a frame, exactly as If it were
canvas. The cutting and fitting are
done before the painting. In this way
the marine scenes and landscapes are
made as if the material were in one
piece.
There is no hope of painted gowns
for those of us not blessed with a
good deal of money. A moderately
economical hand painted gown costs
$500 Gowns have been produced
for $4,000.

in wrap similarly treated, while in
her hat she carried a number of real

Dawson White Horse winter trail In
condition for service during the
coming winter.
If the White Horse placer diggings
warrant it, trail will be cut from
White Horse to the principal center,
or distributing point. But if condi-
lions in the new camps do not seem
encouraging nothing will be done.
The comptroller of the Yukon coun-
Gil said in his budget speech that
sufficient money is on hand for MAX
ing new trail or new road if neces-
sary, but none will be made until it
is demonstrated that the diggings are
good enough to warrant such service.
A crew of men and team were
taken by Mr.. McFarlane to Yukon
crossing, whence they will work back
over the road to Dawson, repairing
bridges and removing slides and do
ing other such work.

STUNNING FRENCH GOWNS.

Hand painted gowns are the rage
in Paris. Like the old fashioned wall
paper the gowns represent scenes,
bouquets and clusters of fruits. The
effect is both pleasing and artistic.
These exquisite gowns are, not to
be seen in the shops. They are not
sold at retail or wholesale. The Gre
ations are produced upon special or
der by artists who have taken up this
line of work. Careful and conscien-
tious study is necessary to give sat-
isfactory results. There are no du-
plicates. There is but one pattern of
its kind. A woman especially fond
of roses gives the order for roses,
and after sufficient length of time
for the conception and execution of
the design, behold, the gown is a
mass of bloom! 1t is the same with
fruit, the same with forest effects.
and marine suggestions.
1t is not upon gowns alone that
this decorative work is being done.
The hand painting appears upon car
riage wraps, opera coats and party
bags, slippers and fans.
OF course the material of the gown
is painted before it is put together.

The tank will stand across the
grounds from the old wooden water
tower, which is to be removed. It will
be partly. hidden by trees. The top will
be 113 feet above the level of Lake
Calhoun and the tower will give a sew.

AZ HOURS ON DUTY
LONG STRETCH OF SORTING MAIL
PUT IN BY MINNEAPOLIS RAIL
WAY POSTAL CLERK.

Owing to a combination of accidents,
James E. Doran, a postal clerk on the
Great Northern railroad, was not re-
lieved for forty-two hours, but stuck
to his post and made the trip between
Minneapolis and Minot, n. D., and re-
turn without demur and reported his
car 0. X. as if nothing had hap
pened.
Mr.. Doran reported at the Mime
apolis yards about 2 pm. Thursday
afternoon and left on the sos train.
Everything was as usual during the
night and when the train pulled into
Enderlin, n. D., the next noon, he ex-
pected to be relieved. But the reliev-
ing postal clerk did not appear It
was found out afterwards that he had
not been notified. Nevertheless, the car
had to 90 on with Uncle Sans mail
and Doran was the man that had to go
with it. When the train arrived at
Minot it was found that there was no
one there to take the responsibility,
and Doran, racked from loss of sleep,
started on his return to Enderlin
When he reached Enderlin he had
vertically to hold his eyes open,, but the
hitch had not been solved and as it
was his run back to Minneapolis on the
schedule, he was of necessity forced to
begin the long Journey. ~
During the long night there was nc
chance to close~his eyes. At every sta
ton the mail bags were taken on board
and had to be assorted. By this time
the necessity for sleep had become al
most mania, but Doran stuck to his
work until he handed in his report and
sought his bunk.
