When he returned life was extinct.

PRICE FIVE CENTS.
COMMON SENSE HINTS ON DRESS
Christine Terhune Herrict ciyes Some Sensible
Advice the Woman Who Would Dress
Well and Keep Within Her Means.

Simple styles should also be chosen
by the woman who can have only
limited wardrobe. Extremes In fash
ion should be avoided. There lis the h
same objection to these that there is
to the startling effects Of which / re-
ferred q moment ago. More than
this, such woman should study what H
suits her. Because certain garment
looks well in a fashion plate or on a u
figure in a show window. it does not
follow that it will do as much on every Il
woman. One would not believe the
4blunders which women will make, did
not one see illustrations of such
breaks on every side. The stout wo-
men who wear light fabrics Of large
and faring patterns, the slim aslanky''.
woman who adopt styles with long.
severe lines, the short dumpy figures
that cut themselves in two in the
middle by conspicuous belts or by
glazing contrast between the hues of
the stuff Of the skirt and the waist,
encompass US about on every side.
The tailor is the best friend Of the
woman who must be economical about
her clothes. A tailor made gown. il
the style in which it is fashioned is
carefully chosen, is likely to suit all
most any figure. Its simplicity dis
arms criticism and renders it appro-
pirate for nearly any occasion except
one where full dress is required. The
woman who has tailor make skirt
and jacket of good cut can let her fan
cy go bit in the matter of shirt
waists. She may have them plain and
serviceable for morning wear. dressy
and frilly for calling or the theatre or
small social affairs, and she may seek
compromise between the two for a
waist to wear to church or to lectures.
And with each and all Of them there
may be worn the same skirt and no
one will comment upon the persis-
tency with which it appears, so long
as the waist is what it should be and
the skirt itself is not startling in color
or in style.
Black is boon to the woman who
can afford only one or two new Co.'S
tunes a year. She must buy good

black in the first place and then, if
she takes tolerable care of it, it will
look we'll always. For the woman
who objects to black, (and there are
such women) there are dark blue,
dark green, dark brown and the other
indeterminate shades or mixtures that
are plentiful. With one good tailor

ter wear, another of lighter material
for spring and fall, and shirt waists,
plain and dressy, at discretion, wo-
man may feel provided for. even If
she goes out a good deal. .-..t*f@
One sensible woman of my acquain-
lance makes it rule not to have
more than two ordinary gowns on
hand at one time. AS soon as the
first one begins to lose its original
freshness, she buys another and takes
number one into service for second
best. By the time this Ia wholly past
worthy the second gown Is ready to
retreat to more retired position ana
to yield the field to i new costume.
The only objection to this IN tailor
made frocks is that the Jackets are
likely to accumulate until there IRE
more on hand than one can wear out.
So It is as well to break the sequence
by an occasional skirt.
All this Is for the plain house IL 81

MIKE MEETS THE PRESIDENT.
The Sheldon Editor Hats in Washington a
Few Days Before Sailing for England.

Mike de la Bere's letters on his
travels promise to be as interesting
as those Of Editor Tuttle on the &C.
casion Of his visit abroad, which is
paying the Sheldon editor quite a

Washington. The following are ex-
cerpts therefrom: ...

that Mr.. Bartlett has indeed his eye

HANSBROUGH. AGAINST REPEAL
Senator Hansbrough Charges that Lobbies
Exist in Washington in the Interest Of
Large Holders Of Land Scrip.

Washington, March 2S:- Senator
Hansbrough charged in the senate
that the movement to secure the re-
peal Of the desert land law, the TIM
Der and stone law and the commute
ton clause Of the homestead act were
due to the efforts Of q lobby composed
mainly Of the holders who bought in
large tracts from railway companies,
and who desire thereby to increase
the demand for their property.
u He agreed with Senator Gibson Of
Montana in the contention that the
timber and stone act and the forest
reserve lieu land law should be dis
posed Of to advantage Speaking Of
I the desert land law, Mr.. Hansbrough
said that It practically was the only
statute under which private entryman
could secure land for irrigation in
the arid states, He also spoke II sup
port Of the Communication clause Of the
I homestead act.
MI. Hansbrongh intimated that there
\ was an Interior motive In the move
ment for the repeal Of the laws In
question, saying that there was in
washington an organization preparing
the way for the repeal Of the desert
land. timber and stone and commute

as she pleases, but must please to
dress like the majority of women. It
is blessed dispensation that she u.s.
ually likes to be in the fashion, or
somewhere near it, and feels it no
hardship to conform to prevailing
modes. In fact, she usually likes it.
Her chief difficulty is how to manage
to conform when she has not enough
money to do it on.
Appropriate dressing should be an
easy matter for the woman who has
generous allowance for her ward
robe. Then is is her own fault If she
does not have suitable costumes for
every emergency. Appropriate Dress
ing is also without complications for
the women who never go anywhere
except to church, and whose needs are
supplied by working frocks and one
gown for best. Even such an one
doubtless thinks she has her troubles,
but they are as nothing to those of the
woman who must, so to speak, serve
two masters.-or who, in other words,
must fill more functions than those of
the housekeeper and church goer. and
must dress for these other things
without exceeding comparatively
small sum. Such a woman finds dress
ing we'll more or less of problem
usually more rather than less.
To women like this the fashion of
separate skirts and waists have come
as a positive boon. In the days when
one must have whole gown Of one
material dressing was more complex
even than it is now. Every one whose
memory goes back to those times can
recall how the waists gave out before
the skirts and left one with supply
of the latter in tolerable order and a
painful dearth of the former. Now,
when one has skirt of which the
body part is past worthy, shirt waist
can be made to take the place of the
outworn garment.
Even with this expedient it is still
possible for women to make mistakes
in their dressing. One Of the chief of
these they commit when they buy
conspicuous clothing. Il am speaking
now of the woman who must wear one
gown a long time) The striking ef-
feet may be charming at first, but be-
fore the frock or the hat or the coat Is
half worn out the woman who wears it
and the friends who see her wear it
are tired to death of it.
Another blunder that women make
sometimes is in buying articles of ap-
parel which will not go together well.
We all know the woman who has
bought q snuff colored gown and a
drab jacket, or a dark green gown and
q hat trimmed with a blue that makes
q discord of tints that set the teeth on
edge. The woman who must econo-
mize on her clothing must buy things
that 60 together well and every piece
OF her attire must Be selected, not for
It's beauty alone. but because It Will
