Plating Aluminium,

One great drawback to the use OF
aluminium is the rapidity with which it's
surface becomes dull and leaden. 1t has
been tried to overcome this by cleo
troplating, but so far without success.
A process has now been discovered by
which q thin coat of zinc may be spread
over the aluminium so as to take a
plating of any other metal.

A Prediction About the 1904
Summer Girl

The summer girl of 1904 will be
diaphanous Dolly Warden creature, in
her printed mouSseline, bobbinet or
fish net gown. The mousselines are,
OF course, silk, and the figures printed
OIL them look like panne velvet. When
made over contrasting shade of silk,
the effect is beautiful.
A lavender printed mousseline in an
orchid pattern had cream ground.
1t was made over the lightest lavender
to match the blossoms.
The bobbinets have always come in
plain white, but the newest fancy is
for printed ones. These will be great
favorites, as the material is not only
dainty and artistic, but exceedingly
durable.
Fish net also comes i'll printed col
ors. much to the JOY Of the lover Of
thin gowns. One of white with a sea
green figure will be striking made
over sea green silk.

for the upper part of the top edge,
with curve out for the under one, as
illustrated. 1t is better to curve out
too little than too much, as it is an
easy matter to slip the pattern on the
arm and pare any superf1uous edge off.
In order to cut the collar pattern, it
IS only necessary to follow the upper
portion of the back and front of the
jacket, as marked on the diagram by
stars, afterward cutting it without a
seam on the shoulder.
For economy's sake, the jacket is
shown in the diagram with a seam
down the middle, which is not strictly
orthodox in a collar. But when one
cuts ones garment according to the
cloth, such DEPRESSION is better than
stinting the actual garment, and there
is generally way to make up for it.
The seam can be pressed we'll
enough to be all but invisible, or large
turnings may be allowed When
these are pressed open, row of
stitching may be worked at a quarter
and half an inch from the seam, as
we'll as in the seam Itself from the
outside, thus making it appear to be
simply five rows of stitching The
back seam may be made to match.
AS an alternative, the edges may be
finished off separately, as. if the col
lar were to be in two separate halves,
and then fagoted together.
To make the jacket as illustrated,
eight and half yards of lace are re-

The Charm Of Dainty After.
noon Tea Tables

Afternoon tea is a positive delight
with all the modern paraphernalia used
in the brewing and serving. Samo-
vars and brass tea kettles are both
used, but the favorite way is to en-
ploy the tea ball, filed with choicest
leaves. Each guest is given an indi-
vidual ball, which she places in her
cup. The maid pours boiling water
over the ball, and the guest does the
rest. Sliced lemon gives the needed
flavor to the beverage.
Some of the tea tables are pretty
enough to grace the best room in the
house, but after the reception or after
noon affair they are folded and put
away until the next time. Many of
these tables are of rosewood, inlaid
handsomely, and with an adjustable
lift.

A Useful Sewing Screen.

A useful device has been invented
by woman VINO lives in cramped
apartment quarters. It IS sewing
screen, the front of which is orna-
mental, and the back OF which has
pockets fitted I'D with everything used
in doing the family sewing The
screen sets in front of the machine
when in use, and when not needed it
is folded together and set away in a
closet.
The pockets on the back are made
of denim or some strong material, and
have casing at the top in which
elastic is run, so that they are kept
tight and snug These pockets are
handy for unfinished work, mending,

ing materials In addition to buttons.

When the sleeves are made they
should be set into the armholes with

when stitched, should be neatly bound.
If the worker desires to be very ex-
peditious, the edges may be stitched in

The collar edge may be turned I'M

stitches being carried through the
Jacket as well. Then the stitching
may also be done through both collar
and jacket
When making the jacket for in
valid use, this is much the better way,
as the effect of broad collar is pre-
served, without the discomfort which
a loose one causes by rolling up.

has not precluded the introduction of

rooms. This opening has a latticed
grille eighteen inches deep, which adds

The shoulder and back seams may

Becoming Hats of Rubber.

The gossamer rubber silk lined au-

especially to the piquant faced woman.
These hoods are gathered full in front
over the hat and fall long and straight
around the face under the chin to the
back.
A hat is also made Of this rubber

A Broom Petticoat.

One of the most useful devices for
the careful housewife is what is called
"a broom petticoat" 1t is used to
brush down the walls, and is a pre-
ventive against cobwebs. 1t is made
of cream canton flannel, and looks
much like a petticoat with its double
frill and raw strings of tape. 1t opens
at the side, and has tapes to secure it.
Including the frill, it is twenty-three
inches long.

How to Make Simple, Pretty Sacque.

~ EMNANTS Of pretty materials
r. that are just insufficient for
n ~ full-Size waist may often be
purchased very cheaply. They
may be put to excellent advantage BY
converting them into dressing or neg
ligee jackets.
The illustration shows one which,
although of full medium size and in
every way ample, does not call for
more than two and three-quarter yards
of thirtylnch material Even two
and half will cut it if the mate
rial is of kind that will permit Of the
jacket and sleeves being cut across in
stead of down,
1t sets exceedingly well, and per-
haps its chief recommendation is that
it is practically seamless, and there
tore requires only a short time for
the making, if done by machine.
There are only shoulder seams, and
one down the middle of the back The
latter may be dispensed with if the
jacket IS cut the wrong way of the ma
terial, when the back may be placed
to the fold made by placing both ends
of it together Anyone possessing an
old fitting foundation or plain bodice
pattern can readily cut one of the
jackets from it in the following man
ner:
Take the half of the old pattern and
pin all the seams together at the top
points. Then lay them on a sheet of
newspaper, SO that the seams will meet
again at about five inches below the
waist. excepting the darts in the front,
and the middle and side-back seams,
which require little more fulness.

sents the. parts of the fitting bodice so
placed. and shows how the back for

edge for few inches and then sloped
out, making pretty empire effect

Pillars Which Look Solid
Without Being Heavy
Z The pillars which support the roof
are of just the proportions which give
an effect of solidity without heaviness.
Thus they look neither cheap nor out
of taste, their slight taper towards the
roof adding much to the grace of the
design. The gertle curve of the roof
line, the broad caves affording
glimpse of well-fnished supporting
beams, and the graceful brackets up
holding the roof of the gable extern
sion, all add a certain elegance to the
architecture which should not be over
looked. These curved beams and
brackets, together with slight irregu-
larity of line in the front of gable, are
the only bits of ornamentation which
the designer has permitted himself.

Only Seventeen Tax Deeds to be
Given by the County for Un-
Redeemed Tax Certificates
WINTHRoP'S TAX UNPAID.
Many of the Towns in the County Fail to
Show Single Piece of Property for n
Which Tax Deeds Will be Issued.

The County Clerk this morning
completed the work of making up the
list of unredeened tax titles for Keno.
sha county and the list shows that
Kenosha county is one of the most
remarkable counties in the state for
the payment of taxes. There are but
seventeen pieces of property in the
county on which the taxes remained
unpaid for 1902 and the people still
have almost a year in which to redeem
these small pieces of land. The total
amount of unpaid taxes to which has
been added the usual per cent for
non-payment amounts to S565. 40. Of
this amount S203.50 is assessed against
small parcels of property in the coun-
ty and S361.91 is against city property.
The towns of Salem, Paris, Wheat1and
and Brighton present clean sheet on
the books of the county and there is
not single piece of property in the
fourth or eight wards of the city which
has not been relieved of ali tax titles.
For the most part the amount due
on the properties is small and in sew
eral cases the owners of the property
have moved from the city and cannot
be located. The largest amount as
sessed against any one piece of pro-
perty in the city is assessed against a
small piece of property owned by the
North Western Railway Company and
It is safe to say that the property will
not be sold by tax title. The cues
ton of the payment of the tax has
been disputed by the railway company
and suit has been instituted in the
circuit court to force the county and
city officials to redeem the tax deed
alleging that the property was wrong
fully assessed.
The largest charge made against
any property in the county is made
against the property of the Winthrop
Land Association at Winthrop Har-
Dor and the title to this property is so
badly tangled that a tax deed will
probably not be of the greatest value.
However, it is expected that this will
be settled up in a short time nd it is
more than probable that this piece of
property will be stricken from the list
before the tax titles are issued.
The tax titles to these pieces of prop
erty are held at present by specu1a-
tors in land titles in Racine, Keno
sha and Waukegan, but the harvest
of these men for the present year
will be decidedly small one.
1t is interesting to note that these
lists of unredeemed property have
been growing shorter every year and
the list for next year will be even
smaller than the list for the present
year.

EVERY voter will have to decide on
the sewer question for himself, and
every man who intends to vote on it
should, in Justice to the city, make
the most thorough investigation pos
sible before making up his mind how
he is going to vote. The matter is
important enough to be given the
fullest consideration, and if the plan
is a good one it can surely stand the
test of publicity. A majority of the
aldermen favor the plan. They are
convinced that it is the only way for
the city to get out of it's present diff
culties, and believe that if the people
will only investigate for themselves,
they will decide to carry it out.
