About half of the new voile gowns
have transparent rufiies at the cuffs.
and many of the more elaborate tailor
gowns are furnished with them. AS a
rule, they are made of batlste and fine
lace. even when heavy lace is used on
the rest Of the gown. Chiffon, lace and
net undersleeyes are also seen.
Drop skirts are simply made as q
rule, five-gore model being preferred
as fitting well over the hips. A deep
circular 1ounce Is added, with cable
run through the hem TO hold it out.
Accordion-pleated rutiles are no longer
used on drop skirts. They wore very
badly and We're fussy. Pinked ruch-

places.

ABOUT LAMPS.

The common kerosene lamp which
Is used In almost every household will
give a bright even light and be
source of comfort to the family If
properly cared for.
The bowl of the lamp should be kept
full of oil, but when not in use, the
wick should be turned low TO keep the
oil from oozing out upon the burner.
If the wick Is soaked in vinegar, then
dried before 1t is put in the lamp 1t is
not likely to smoke. The wick should
be trimmed evenly with pair Of
sharp scissors that the flame may al.
ways be even.
Use none but the best burners. In.
ferior burners are cheaper at first but
soon get out of order. This prevents
the wicks from turning up or down
and the lamps do not give a good
light.
Wash the burners frequently and
scour the discolored parts. \ clean
lamp gives no disagreeable odor while
burning.
Lamp chimneys are not as liable &c
break upon exposure to changes OF
temperature If they are put in pan
of cold water and allowed to heat
gradually till the water is boiling and
left in the water till cold again.
When you wish to clean the chin
neys wash them In suds, rinse in clear
water and wipe dry on towel that
is soft and free from lint; polish with
an old newspaper. Brown spots may
be removed by rubbing them with
coarse salt.
If you have china or colored glasi
lamp shades they should be polished
every day. See that the chlmncys III
closely that there be no danger of theiI
falling Off when the lamp is removed.

WASHING DISHES.

A careless dlshwasher can soon Dc
q great deal of damage. The china
is disagured' by having the glazing
cracked and chips broken from the
edges. Ivory and rubber handled
knives and forks are ruined by being
washed in water that is greasy or too
hot; glasses are broken by pouring
water over them; such things are done
every day. yet they are entirely un-
necessary.
A good dlshwasher needs q bright
tin or porcelain dlshpan and drainer.
supply of water. and tea towels that
leave no lint. Do not dump the dishes
into the pan promiscuously. thereby
running the risk of breaking half OF
them. When the food is removed
from the table scrape the plates and
drain out any coffee or tea that is left
in the cups. Pile the plates together,
then the saucers, cups and small
dishes. Have the pan half full of wa.
ter that is as hot us you can bear your
hands in, put in enough wash
ing powder to make a good suds,
and wash the glasses first, then the
sllverware, and after that the china.
Put them in the drainer, pour warm
water over them to rinse them, and
dry with clean dish towel. Care Is
required at every step of the process.
A dish mop may he used If one does
not wish to keep the hands in the hot
water so long. Pudding dishes or
other cooking utensils should soak
awhile before washing. The wire dish.
cloth is excellent for cleaning iron
kettles, but should not be used on tin

A ROSE IN THE HAIR.

$50 long as a woman cllngs to the
rose or the bow In her hair she has not
lost her sense Of poetry, and so long
as woman keeps her sense of poetry.
just so long does she hold man in the
hollow of her hand"
1t was gentleman of the old school
who said this. He understands the
fair sex from A to z. He began his
study Of women In the days. when they
wore hoop-slSirts. and he has pursued
his studies along the line Of years
reaching to tailored chevlots.
"The laws have not changed" he
says to-day. "a rose in the hair means
now what 1t meant fifty years ago
and will mean fifty years hence"
A sense Of poetry is sense of
beauty. There is nothing In a woman
which has more attraction for the
other sex than this. 1t is so closely
akin to beauty itself that it is often
mistaken for the much-desired gift.
Few of the worlds greatest actresses
have regular features. but they have q
sense of beauty which prompts them
to graceful motions. artistic dressing.
and the fascinating daintiness which
is SO potent charm. Little touches
of coquetry In a. woman's dress are
more dangerous to man than a flaw
less Grecian nose; and the old gentle
man was right In claiming what he did
for a rose or bow in the hair.

WHEN RARY COMES.

To announce the birth of q son or
daughter have white cards two and
one-fourth inches wide, bearing the
little ones full name and date of birth.
Engraved cards are the best form. At
tach this card to larger one bearing
your own name and address and day
at home. A small hole through both
cards is made at the upper left hand
corner, through which is run and tied
q dainty little bow of white satin baby
ribbon. The mothers name on tho
card should be visible below the lower
edge of the small card. Enclose in a
heavy white envelope TIE exact size
Of the large card and send by mail to
those you desire to receive.
When your callers come you need not
feel under any obligations to serve tea,
although such refreshments would be
perfectly correct, accompanied by some
dainty dry biscuit only, and would
afford variation from strictly baby
talk. Baby. however, is the main
theme. and he is considered sufficiently
attractive TO insure pleasant call. AS

some tea gown. and need not rise to
greet them unless you wish to do so.
INDIAN GIRLS AS HOUSEMAIDS.
The question has often been asked
Is 1t possible to take girls from the
wild, free life of the prairie and train
them for domestic service? A prac-
tical answer to the question has been
returned by the management of the
Lincoln Institution, of Philadelphia, q
training home for Indian girls and
boys under the wing of the Protest
ant Episcopal church, Among the pu-
pills at this institution are girls from
the Winnebago, Mohawk, Chippewa,
Oneida, Seneca, Ononda9S Menom-
inee, Tuscarora, Cheyenne and Sioux
nations. A thorough training is given
the girls in cooking, sewing, washing
and ironing, and the general work OF
a domestic. Most OF the girls arrive
at the institution with tendency to
act like little Indians, and when pun
ished for fault become sulky and un-
manageable. These Objectionable
traits, however, speedily yield to kind
but firm treatment. and once the girls
become interested in the dates they
are tractable and easily tauFht.
Strange TO say, the sewing school Is
presided over by woman who has
been blind nearly all her life, and for
, nearly quarter of century has
taught sewing without being able to
sec one of her pupils or the work they
do. She is able to tell by the sense of
touch alone whether or not girl is
doing her work properly. She knows
the sound Of each girls voice. The
girls are taught to sing together. and
they sing exceedingly well.-Leslie's S

An Honest Opinion.

Mineral, Idaho, Nov. l4th (Special).-
That a sure cure has been discovered for
those sciatic pains that make so many
lives miserable, is the firm opinion of Mr.:
y. S. Colson, q well-known resident of
this place, and he does not hesitate to
say that cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
The reason Mr.. Colson is 30 firm in his
opinion is that he had those terrible
pains and is cured. Speaking Of the mat
ter he says:
Il am only too happy to say Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me lots of good.
! had awful pains in my hip so l could
hardly walk. Dodd's Kidney Pills stopped
it entirely. l think they are . grand
medicine"
All Sciatic and Rheumatic pains are
caused by Uric Acid in the blood. Dodd's
Kidney Pills make healthy kidneys and
healthy kidneys strain all the Uric Acid
out of the blood. With the cause re-
moved there can be no Rheumatism or
Sciatica.

WHAT HE GOT THEM WITH

Fakir Had Something That
Sold Quickly.

Gentlemen" began the fakir as he ar
ranged numerous bottles on a little table
al a downtown street corner and prepared
for business, has anyone in this crowd
got a toothache?"
No one answered, relates the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
Has anyone an earachs or . head
ache"
Not a man had anything to say.
Very WELL then; but are you troubled
with insomnia? Are you low spirited,
and do you find yourself thinking of sui
cide?"
The appeal was like the other-in vain.
The crowd elbowed each other, but no
one advanced.
Very well, gentlemen; very well. Now,
Is there anyone here who INDUCES in in
toxicants and wishes to conceal the fact
from the women folks? If SO, guaran-
tee that one drop of this marvellous
preparation placed on the tongue will in

tances. All of human history seemed
marching, ghostlike, through the pale

What little question in such big

then, Thanksgiving! | wonder If

Her mood did not please him, be-

Spirit Of Thanksgiving
"It Is More Blessed to Give
Than to ReceiVe.v 81 II S
\ PHILOSOPHERS and philanthro-

W. pists not only indorse the famil-
Ii lar and beloved aphorism, 1T Is
more blessed to give than to receive"
but go step further and claim that the
capacity to receive is absolutely depend
ent on capacity to spend; that to main
tain a receptive attitude towards all the
good and enjoyable things Of this world
one must spend. The same truth is ex-
pressed again in the statement He that
loseth his life shall find it" We have
come to interpret this paradox as mean
ing that true happiness is attained only
when the seeker gets as far from his
own personality as possible and inter-
ests himself in the life of the world or
of the individuals around him. In pro-
portion as we give spontaneously will
we receive freely. The gift need not al
ways be tangible and material: it may
be the more valuable because of its spir-
itual quality, but into whatever we be-
stow some part Of ourselves should en-
ter. AS Lowell puts 1t:
"a 'Tis not what we give. but what we share,
For the gift without the glver is bare"
Thanksgiving Is the festival of the
family and for that reason is a sad ami
versary to the exiles from home. or to
those who, lacking home ties, are alone
in the world. 1t offers an especial occa-
sion therefore for the bestowal of hap
piness. There is a certain embarrass-
ment about inviting the stranger to
Christmas feast because custom calls for
an exchange of gifts, but no such obli-
cation rests upon the Thanksgiving
guest and the poorest may accept with
out loss of dignity or pride. The Farm
ers Voice is right-unless we can truly
feel that we have occasion to rejoice over
our own or some one else's good fortune.
we would do better not to mock honest
sentiment by going through the form Of
an observation of the day. but il the
Thanksgiving spirit is ours, wherever II
is possible let us take down the bars OF
consanguinity and open our hearts to
the family of the world, instead of
spreading the spiritual and material
feast for me and my wife, my son John
and his wife; us four and no more"
