Among the most delightful and in
formal of social gatherings are the after
noon teas which. for their lack Of con-
ventionality. are becoming more and
more popular in this country
There is no particular rule to be OBJ
served as 10 what should be served at
this function. Provided the viands ana
beverages are Iirht and easily digested
the hostess may serve an almost endless
variety Of good things.
First Of all. and most important. Of
course, Is the tea Chocolate should
also be served. and if a number Of Ger
mans are TO attend, coffee should ne
served, as Germans rarely drink tea.
and the cafe ClatCh' is a fixed soc'Fl
custom with all Germans. Light
punches. coffee frappe, and fruit punches
are among the beverages always accept
able at afternoon teas
At afternoon teas there should be one
large table in the center Of the room.
on which the tea urn. tea service. and
most of the refreshments are placed.
Place small tables about the room. one
for coffee. one for punch. and so on If
salads are a part Of the refreshments
l.
Some delicious sandwiches for after
noon teas are ham, tongue. chicken,
cream cheese. nut, and plain bread and
butter sandwiches, of alternate slices OF
brown and white bread.
For all sandwiches the bread must be
cut as thin as a wafer and all crust re-
moved Their shapes should be tri-
angular. For ham, tongue. chicken, and
nut sandwiches. put the meat or nuts
a grinder, season paIa;abIy.
and, after the bread is slightly buttered
and sliced, spread the filling on one
slice with a thin, broad-bladed knife
Put on the upper slice of bread. trim
nicely, lay each sort of sandwich on a
different plate, on which "a napkin is
spread. and. after the sandwiches are
piled up TO an artistic height. fold the
ends of the napkin over them and stand
them in the refrigerator till ready to
serve.

HoO TO Tell a Bushes,
Woman.

That woman in the trailing gray
gown IS a business woman. She soIicits
life insurance policies or buys for some
big firm" said a man AT a reception
given by club women.
How do you know asked his COM
panion.
Because she is both conscious and
uncomfortable Her consciousness is
not due TO RirHsh embarrassment. be
cause she Will never be thirty again.
and she's uncomfortable because she
constantly catches herself doing little
mannish tricks. Just a moment ago
she was resting both hands on her knee,
talking very earnestly as a man would,
and she actually bushed Then I've
seen her clasp her hands behind her
back, and then suddenly drop them
apart again.
THE average successful woman be-
comes absorbed in her business. and
then is furious because she discovers
she IS losing some OF her little feminine
tricks"

Do not try to hang by your hands
from pole or from any object above
your head. This, too, strains the mus
cles OF the waist and belt line. and Is
none too good for ones health.
Causes Headache.
Do not try to stand on your head. This
may seem an unnecessary admonition.
Yet II is fact that a certain enthusi-
astic physical culture director had all
his pupils lined up in that manner. The
result was a series Of headaches and the
abnormal development of certain wa 81
and back muscles while the lungs e.
ceived no benefit whatever Moreover

knotty.
Do not make the muscles rigid II YOU
are going to reduce the size Of YOUR
waist. Try no strenuous movements
Let your every exercise be marked bv
sUppleness and grace.
The very act Of standing erect viii
decrease the size Of your waist. If you
doubt this try an experiment TO convince
yourself. It is easily done.
Lesson in Expansion.
Take the stoutest. strongest. biRFest
woman you know. Select one whose
waist line measures no less than thirty
Inches. Let her stand in the middle OF
the floor. Place her hands upon her
hips. Let her throw her shoulders back
and lower them as much as possible. Let
her take a deep, long breath. Let her
expand, as pugilists will say.
Now, while the figure is expanded take
and measure the waist line It VIII be
found several inches smaller than before
The very act OF raising the chest and
taking long, full breath will. somehow
make the waist line less. II seems for
the moment to develop the figure as II
should be developed. But as soon as a
woman takes the next breath she is
back again to her old baggy. sagey con-
dition.
Now. eating IS an important factor in
reducing the size of the waist. The
woman who eats everything and drinks
everything will never have a nice little

There are excellent whole wheat and

Bread Recipes.
The bread can be baked, put away for
day. brought out and rsheated, Or
steamed. or served hot in slices, Just as
one may choose. 1t can then be eaten
in quantities without injury TO anyone.
II is one Of the best developers known.
The woman with thin arms can eat
fresh warm bread spread with a great
deal of good sweet butter with the very
best results. Her figure will soon feel
the benefit Of this diet.
A great many persons think they can
not eat warm bread. On the contrary,
II is good for them But It must be
well baked II must be a kind Of bread

whose digestion is out Of order must
look after the green things Of diet.
Unless she supplies her stomach with
green food she will continue TO have
indigestion She positively cannot rid
herself OF that disagreeable feeling IN
the stomach unless she will supply her
interior with a sufficient amount OF
green foods.
Don't Drink.

excellent rule for the woman who wants

Do not think that any old kind OF
exercise viii make you little in the

IT. HERE is a new shirt waist and a
new shirt waist figure. This new
i figure is absolutely the most in
teresting thing in the world just
now.
The new waist Is narrow In its lines
around the belt and the new shirt waist
figure must be slender in its waist lines
and it must in all other ways conform TO
the new figure which Is coming in this
fall.
Dame Fashion has decided that she
will no longer pull down her waist in
front and that she will return to the
round, slender belt OF some years ago
and this is what has so absolutely
changed the figure.
During the past five years every
woman has been pulling down her stays
I'm front, hitching them fast TO her
stockings and the pulling down her
bands and belts and girdlcs TO make
them meet the low wasted require
ments. The result has been both good
and comfortable and Il is doubtful IL
the new figure will be One-half as salts
factory.
Figures Change.
But Dame Fashion says the figure
must change and, to support her word,
she brings over models and living
figures from Paris and exhibits them.
They are almost universally small in
the waist.
The new figure is higher in the bust;
II is higher in the waist and decidedly
higher in tho belt line. And what is

The NeI0 Color for autumn.

The importers are displaying the new
color which is expected to replace
green. the fad of the summer. It is
called "Coque de Roche. and is of a
reddish orange, deep and rich in tone,
but trying 10 the average complexion
1t is one of the shades worn in the
early part of the nineteenth century
during the direCtoire period. and Is
brought into vogue again by the revival
on that old Partisan style. In those
days blue and "Coque de Roche" were q
favorite combination.

shoulders call for a forty-inch waist oil
Il thiTty-eight-inCh will not be too well
developed for beauty. Nearly all of the
Gibson girls wear a fOrty-inCh shirt
waist. They need the fullness in the
shoulders. for very wide shoulders are
TO be the rage.
The new figure. as will be noted. is a
study in contrasts. Woman will have
the hour glass form again. The waist
will be little and the shoulders and hips
very broad. This calls for splendid ply
steal development and for a great deal
OF discretion in the manner of exer-
else. Haphazard work will not do at
all.
Just how she is going 10 get this new
figure, this small waist and these full
shoulders. is a question 10 the girl who
is exercising and who finds her figure
full and her waist large How shall
reduce my waist without reducing my
entire figure?'' Is something she fire.
quently asks herself And this IS one OF
the things which physical culture
teaches.
Exercise to Be Avoided.
She can reduce her waist by exercis-
ing IN the right way. Pugilists. wrest-
lers. and all highly developed athletes
have very small waists. though they
are full in the arms and in the chest
Full arms for the coming woman are
an absolute necessity. The new vol
luminous sleeves will hang like bags
unless the arms are full and round.
Stand erect and take your physical
culture exercises. Throw open your
lungs and take long, full breaths. Lie
down upon the floor and lift the feet
slowly until they are balanced over
your head. Lift them up and grad
ually let them swing over your head and
back Of you until they touch the floor.
This Is a sort OF inverted somersauIt.
which is Of the greatest benefit 20 tie
physical culturist
Here are physical culture exercises
10 avoid Do not lift heavy weights.
They increase the muscles around the
waist line and do a woman no good
from any standpoint.

the minute the digestive apparatus is
out Of order the waist will be big The
clothing is worn loose, the stomach puffs
out and the waist looks too large. You
will never find a nice trim waist where
there is indigestion.
Eating Important
The kind Of food plays an important
part in the reduction of the waist.
What shall eat?" inquiries the woman
who is reducing And what shall I
cat?" asks the woman who wants to
make her waist smaller but who doesn't
want 70 diet.
And no woman wants 70 diet. Dieting
is disa greeable. You cannot eat what
you want. You cannot cat what is on
the family table. You cannot pa-take
Of the food which is around you and YOU
feel Ike a culprit. You are forced to 20
without your food.
Yet dieting is not necessary. You can
eat anything and stiI reduce your waist.
But you must know how to select. The
woman who sits down to tie family
table and consumes several glasses Of
water, as so many women do. or who
buries herself in little oceans Of tea. o.
who takes two or three cups Of strong
coffee, Will never have a trim waist and
wide. we'll proportioned shoulders. Such
promiscuous drinking and goJd physical
development do not go together.
Wrong Foods to Eat.

who eats lavishly Of II will not have A

Dame Fashion Has About Decided That She
Will This Coming Fall Go Back to the
Round, Slender Belt of
Some Years Ago.
Some Years Ago.

much more important from every stand
point is that the waist itself is smaller.
For many years past woman has re-
joiced In a big waist. She has con-
fessed to twenty-four inches and, II
plump, she has owned up to twenty-nine
or thirty. She did not care how big her
waist was as long as she succeeded in
pulling down her belt in front to give
her the fashionable shape.
Don't Pull in Waist.
But now the figure is changing back to
the small waist. II is a waist that IS
less by six inches than the waist OF last
winter. Women who measured twenty
nine around the belt must get ready 10
measure twenty-three And women
whose belt measurements were twenty
four inches must drop 10 about twenty.
The smaller the waist the better.
But there are laws and limitations and
they are very clearly defined.
The first one is that woman must
not lace herself. The second one is that
a woman must in no way compress her
diaphragm. She must so plan her figure
that IL will come under the new rules
without difficulty. Plan is the only word
10 use. She can do It by planning when
she cannot do II by lacing
The bust must be very full and very
high. The low-bust effects are going ont
and the high, full. well developed figure
is coming in. II will take a great
deal Of physical culture 10 develop the
figure properly. but it can be done.
Then the shoulders must be broad. In
deed, a study of the new figure Is a
study In breadth. The wider the should
ers the better. The woman whose

Married in Denver Yesterday.

When a marriage license is issued,
it is presumed that the man and the
maid to whom it is issued will be
married If not at once. later.
A marriage license was issued from
the office of the county clerk of Dem
yer county in the city of Denver on
last Wednesday afternoon. which will
doubtedly be a matter of much in
terest to large number of the young
people of this city to whom the par
ties in whose names the license was
issued are we'll known.
1t was merely line in the Denver
Republican this morning which gave
clue to a marriage which has un-
doubtedly been performed by this
time. The names were Mr. Romeyn
billiard, formerly of this city. now of
Denver. and Miss Made Van Buren,.
second daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. W.
NJ. Van Buren, of this city.
Last Wednesday night Miss Maidie
and her sister Miss Buelah. left Grand
Junction for visit to Denver. No
one hadtbeen informed that there was
marriage in prospect and evidently
no one was in the secret of the young
lady. An inquiry nc noon today at
the home of Miss vanRuren. felicited
the response that the wedding, il we'd
ding had occurred. was just as much
a surprise to them as to anyone, as
they had no knowledge whatever that
a marriage had taken place.
Miss VanBuren is one of the city's
most handsome young women. bright
and of most engaging disposition.
She was educated in the public schools
of the city and has taught in them
upon several occasions. She belongs
to the young social set of the city and
numbers large number of friends
and admirers. Lately she has been
teaching in the Allen district and has
taught at several points in the coun
try most successfully. For some time
she was assistant librarian Of the Oar
uegie library and was mos, efficient
there in the performance of her du-
ties.
Mr.. billiard was for a time in the
employ of the machine shops of the
Rio Grande road. but lately removed
to Denver. He is young man Of
fine qualities and a thorough gentle
man. coming from an old and distin-
guished family.
Later-A letter received at noon
today by the editor of this paper.
from the sister of Miss vanBuren,
Miss Beulah. announces the marriage
of Miss Made TO Mr.. billiard Thanks
giving afternoon at 4'l5 O'Clock in
the parlors of the Brown Palace, by
the Rev. j. l.. Countermine. Mrs.
billiard will return home Sunday
evening and finish her school term
and return to Denver at Christmas /
and take up her residence there.

Racing Matinee.

Yesterday was an ideal day for a
racing matinee, and an ideal racing
program had been prepared by the
fair management, but the people
seemed unwilling to leave their home
Thanksgiving entertainments to at
tend the entertainment offered at the
fair grounds.
The crowd that gathered to wit
ness the races contained less than
three hundred people. There were
very few in the grand stand but quite
number along the track.
The program was good one and
those who went out were well repaid.
The principal feature of the after
noon was the free for all pace. The
entries were Miss Williams, owned by
O. @. Price, and osmond. who is in
the charge of Guy Bedwell. Miss
Williams was the winner in the free
for all at the fair and is a very popu-
lar horse. Osmond was recently
brought to this city from Boise City.
and he is an unknown quantity to
the general public. However the odds
were heavily in favor of the latter.

adventures with the demons and other

made up the best part of the perform
ance.
The ballet was not very good
looking one. The costumes worn by
the young ladies were very pretty and
bright. The la danse fantastique
and the Chinese ballet were perhaps
the best features of the chorus. The
little French toe dancer was very
clever. The ballet did fairly good
work throughout and gave many
pretty stage pictures.
The Everett brothers in their bal
anning work on ladders were great.
A better act of this kind was never
seen here. Chaos, the demon is

dard as Carlos and Miss Hearndon as
Count Fortune were good and both
are very handsome women. Janet, the

and made hit with her specialties.
