LTTTLE3NEEDFULS FOR WOMEN

VERY woman who is. the pos
- SCISSOR of a ''den," or has an
- idea of making one, is sure
to add certain conveniences
for her personal comfort. The femi-
nine nature Graves accessories of this
sort, and is always on the hunt for
them. Any decoration that is prac-
teal and useful is sure to find a place
somewhere.
Among pretty trifes there are a
variety of pinholders. A useful one
for ordinary pins is in the shape of a
book made of satin or silk, in either
dark or light colors. After the cover
is made, lined, and d tree-stitch given
to the edges, a paper of pins is fasten-
ed inside to the back of the cover
with ribbon, which then ties and
closes it.
A small pincushion may be made
of two squares of linen Around all
sides make half-inch hem, and above
it line of hemstitching. Between
these two squares slip in fiat cush-
ion, which is held in place by a No
ribbon, run in and out, terminal
ing with small bows at each corner
One of these covers may be decor
ated in an embroidery of floral effects,
or monogram may be set in with a
wreath of blossoms.
A convenient holder for hatpins is
soft cushion made long and narrow
of some pretty silk, either figured or
in solid tints. The top is slightly
ruffled, and loop of ribbon is attach
ed by which it can be hung. For
brooches and breastpins, the cushion
is of crescent shape made in a bro
cade figure silk, or, if preferred, in d
delicate solid tint. There is four
inch ruffle of point d'esprit or valen-
ciennes around each side, which is
slightly gathered. The cushion is
suspended to the toilet glass by long
ribbon, with bows attached to each
corner
Another little needful is the tomato
cushion SO generally used. 1t is hung

by narrow ribbon attached to the
lower frame of the glass by red
headed pin. This cushion, full of pins,
IS convenient when making the tot
lette.
Nothing is more needful than bags.
These are usually made of stout Gre
tonne, or s1lkoline in some pretty
floral pattern These roomy affairs
are drawn TIP or pulled out at will
by an inch-wide ribbon or tape. Small
bags are. attached to the longer ones
for the holding of needles, cottons,
ETC.
A pretty button bag is made of rib
bon about four inches in width, and of
any length preferred, connected by
stitches as in embroidery At the top
of the bag make deep frill, and run
at the opening casing of ribbon by
which it can be hung.
For waists or dresses which require
folding, covering is useful to keep
away the dust Have some soft pieces.
of muslin about yard square, either
of silkoline, lawn or thin sateen Bind
all edges with an inchwide ribbon or
a wide tape. Wrap or cover each
waist separately or, if need be, the
dress entire. Articles of this kind
should be washable, and will fast for
some time to come.
Other ''needfuls" appreciated by.
women of dainty tastes are veil cases;
of linen, trimmed with lace, with the
center embroidered or monogram
worked; handkerchief cases made OF
silk, covered with boiling cloth, and.
then painted or worked; glove boxes.
made on the same inviting plan; and
delightful sachets for the bureau and
for different garments. y

When David Kalakaua was King of
Hawaii he spent large sums of money
in organizing brass bands. He en-
ployed German musician who taught
the natives music. 1t is partly to his
credit that the Kanakas have become
so expert on brass instruments.
One day it was announced that a
new national march, composed by the
Kings German bandmaster, was to be
played that evening in the band stand
on the lawn of the Royal Palace.
King Kalakaua had his big cane chair
brought out on the broad veranda so
that he might listen in ecstasies of
patriotic pride.

HAWAu,s STOLEN MELODY

1t happened that wellknown Aus
trian vio1i11ist was in Honolulu at this
time. Being a friend. of the Kings
German composer, he attended.
How you like him?" the German
asked his friend when the concert was
over.
But l have heard him before some
where" said, the Austrian. He is not
new-yes, have heard him in Eng
land. He is. Two Lovely Black Eyes
made into march,
The German winked. "True," he
said, ''but it is just as good as any
national Hawaiian march | could
make, so what's the difference?"

A Special Woman's Queen

In Togo, in West Africa, there is
native town which bears the simple
and beautiful name of A1nedzowe.
But it is not its name that makes it
remarkable. 81.
sAmedzowe is place where the wo-
man question has been settled in a
queer way. The town, is ruled by
chiefs, like other African towns; but
there also is "Woman's Queen" who
rules the women only.
Whenever the women of Amedzowe
have quarrel, they must go to the
"Woman's Queen" If a man and
woman have dispute, they must
carry it before her.
The '..Woman's Queen" attends the
mems council meetings to represent
the women of Amedzowe, and she is
treated with immense respect by the
men.
The dignity of "Woman's Queen"
is hereditary, and is passed down from
mother to daughter.

While quite small girls take great
pride in their appearance, they are
Just as pleased over nicely re-
modelled frock as by new one. Here
in lies the opportunity of the puzzled
mother with. limited means. She has
only to make a serious study of the
recent styles, and she will find that a
clear adaptation of their salient points
will so transform an old garment that
it will take on jaunty and up-to-date
appearance.
For instance, box-pleated skirts are
in evidence on the greater number OF
the new model suits. It is a simple
matter to reconstruct a full shirred
skirt into box-pleats. l know case
where white cloth sailor suit, too
soiled to be of further use, was dyed
an off shade of crimson-a sort of
tulip red. The skirt was laid in box
p1eats reaching a trihe below the
knees.
The full blouse waist, with its deep
sailor collar closing high in the throat
for winter wear, was taken apart and
cut over according to the new spring
design, which is less full and more
shapely. The small blouse was fitted
over plastron of white pique on
which a green emblem was embroider-
ed. A narrow Follower edged with
green braid replaced the broad sailor
collar. 1t met in "V' at the front,
and was fastened with tie of sage
green taffeta silk. The odds and ends
of cloth were used as strap trimmings
on either side of the blouse. Green
emblems were used on the sleeves and
a big bow of green silk held back the
hair.
The new blouse waists for little
girls are more or less decorated with
either tuckings or straps. Any stray
pieces of silk or brightly colored
cloths can be used to freshen UP in
this way a waist that is a trihe anti
Hquated. A blouse, by the way, can
readily be reconstructed into an en-
tirely new design. The fullness can
be gathered ina sharply pointed yoke
of contrasting color and material,
and decorated with rows of braid fol-
lowing the lines of the yoke. Small
pointed sleeve capes, edged with braid,
start from either side of the yoke and
are fitted over the shoulder. The
gathers Of the blouse are caught into
a narrow pointed belt formed of two
rows of braid
The old gathered skirt was re-
modelled into a fan front, with mar
row pleats on each side, and was
freshened by three rows of braid laid
on in points
There is no prettier way to obtain
new effect than by adding collarettes
of some odd material discovered in the
family ragbag.
A blue and white check cheviot, of
which certain little girl declared her
self "quite tired, was made acceptable
by yard or so of plain blue cloth

Beautiful Backgrounds for
Beautiful Women

Unlike many millionaires, William
c. Whitney cared more for his city
home than his country residences. He
was especially particular about the fur
nishings and the beauty of his New
York home, and delighted in providing,
he said, beautiful backgrounds for
beautiful women" He remained for
good portion of each season in this
home in Fifth avenue. Then the spirit
Of unconventionality seized him and
those who received his notes a day or
two afterward were often surprised to
read the heading, ''The Joy Cottage
Oh Easy Street
This is the name of his quaint-look-
ing cottage at Aiken, S. c. With its
slanting roof and FIVE dormer win
.dows, this house has scarcely the look
of millionaire's mansion, but in it an
unexpectedly large number of guests
can be put up.

No Danger of Falling.

The Benson Press says there is nc truth whatever in the reports recently published to the effect that the reform school at that place is settling and threatening its destruction. The pa per says:
 There is one small strip of ground in Benson, about a block and a half wide, that settles more or less when thoroughly soaked with water. This settling is particularly noticeable at the depot, where one of the stand pipes is located from which consider able water is spilled daily.
 "The land on which the Industrial school is located is of a different character, and does not have the set ting qualities of the narrow strip of land through the central part nf town.
 "If the Industrial school has settled since its construction, it would take a very delicate instrument to demon strate the fact. There is no visible evidence that the big building has settled the fraction of an inch, and it's walls are not in danger of tumbling down ''

Robbed the Cash Box.

This morning between the hours of four and six o'clock, the Peo- ple's Hall saloon was broken into and the safe robbed of nearly $50 in cash and the cash register was so bad ly damaged that it will have to be sent to the factory for repairs.
 At four o'clock Mir. Fitz Maurice, one of the proprietors, put the money in the cash box in the safe, locked up the saloon and went home. At six o'clock MT. Burnett came down and found the back window had been forced down and investigation showed the above results. Nothing else was disturbed except a flask of whiskey and bottle of wine had been taken.
 The robber or robbers took the cash box out of the safe and carried it into the alley where they took the case, leaving 65 cents and certificate of deposit which was being kept for another party. They then locked the box again and left it in the alley where it was found this morning. Nc clue was left by the guilty parties.

THE INDUSTRY
 IS FLOURISHING
Manufacture of Sand
 Stone Brick.
The Plant Is Kept Running at Its Full CapaCity-Again Deliver
 ing at Whipple.

A force of six teams has again re- sumed the work of hauling brick from the sand stone brick plant to Wbipple where they are being used in the new buildings at the post The government will use between 1000. GOO and 3,000, GOO of these handsome sand stone brick, by the time the work now contemplated is completed. There was some difficulty over the color of the brick furnished a short time ago and the second story of the building which is now under construction, was con demned and the brick which had been put in the walls were taken out. There was no fault to find with the quality but the sand that was used had been taken from another locality and was shade darker. This fact alone caused the constructing quartermaster to refuse to allow the brick to refAain in the walls. This matter was salis- factorily adjusted and delivery was resumed yesterday. The brick which were condemned will be used for in side work, however, and will not be lost.
 The company which is manufactur- ing the sandstone brick is made up of our people and they are manufactur- ing a splendid article and one that for looks discounts even the high priced pressed brick, and at cost no more than the ordinary clay brick. Ever since the plant started up some months ago they have hardly been able to meet the demand and often teams were hauling the brick away before they were cool enough to handle. Several buildings have all ready been erected in this city of this product, besides the work at Whipple. They have given the best of satisac- tion and are the admiration of every one. The Raible block which is just being completed is one of the hand somest buildings in the city, and was built entirely of the sand stone brick MT Heyne, who did the handsome carving on the front of the building said he would prefer the use of these brick to stone in a building.
 Besides what have been used in Prescott and Whipple a large order was filled for the United Vede Copper company at Jerome for building an immense brick chimney for the big smelteI.
 The sand stone brick are the most popular article of that kind ever used in this section and the plant is having no difficulty iD selling all they can manufacture.

New Opera House.

Architect J. R. Minor has returned from Los Angeles where he went few days ago on business connected witt the construction of the new Elks hall and opera house. The plans for the opera house have been completed and are on exhibition at Dillon's cigar store.
 The new plan is beauty and should the proposition be carried out as con- templated Prescott will have an opera house that will be a credit not only to the city but the Elks and all who assist in making it possible for the lodge to give the city such handsome building.
 The new drawings show the opera house to occupy the rear part of the building, the front being occupied on the first floor by four store rooms while the Elks lodge room will occupy the front part of the second story.
 The entrance to the opera house will be in the center of the building and will be twenty one feet in width making an exit of sufficient size for any emergency. Besides the main ec- trance and exit there are nine other exits from the building which could be used as means of escape in case of fire or other accident.
 The seating capacity will be be- tween 800 and 1000 people. The stage will be twenty five by sixty feet in size, the front being thirty feet in the clear which is as large as any of the city stages. The scenery will be man. ipulated from the top and all will be raised and lowered instead of rolled and shifted.
 There will be eight private boxes and in fact everything that goes to make up first class opera house.
