Lucas VIII Soon Be Here.

President Lucas writes from Spokane
that he will shortly visit Salt Lake at
which time he hopes to bring good news
regarding next years circuit. He will
stop at Boise and Butte on his way
here, consult with the franchise owners
and perhaps visit n couple of other
towns on the way down that look like
good towns in which to plant a team
for next year. As soon as he has made
this trip he viii call a meetIng(of the
various towns already in the league and
ask for representatives from those
wishing TO join. and a league will be
formed that ought to do the business.

Russ Hall After Reilly.

From the coast comes the story that
Russ Hall. manager of the Seattle
team, is trying to sign Charley Reilly
to play third base for him next year
He has made Reilly several good offers
and says he still hopes to land the crack
third baseman. If Hall would only put
his ear to the ground for moment and
listen to the sounds of JOY coming from
Salt Lake over the signing of the same
Charley Reilly he would probably see
the uselessness of all his dickering.

Grim's Got a Job Again.

Jack Grim is heard from again. Grim

Pretty Girls Pose

There is an air of conscious superiority
about the girl whom nature favors by
the bestowal of a pretty face. She Is
never shy. oh. dear. no! Her beauty
commands. I'm it's owners estimation,
the most prominent position in every
assembly. She assumes a popularity
that is not rightly her heritage, for
while all men admire a pretty face, they
do not necessarily fall in love with its
possessor. who fondly deludes herself
that every man is her devoted slavei
In the home the pretty girl can be
depended on for nothing, She IS al
ways 10 be found posing before her
looking glass. always Occupied' with her
self and her own concerns.
Among other girls the pretty girl is
generally conspicuous. not so much for
her beauty as for her antics. She can't
even smile without design. walk across
the room without posing for effect,
speak without wondering IL her mouth
Is assuming the correct curves to eX-
cite envy and admiration.
In short. her entire life is one huge
sham. And I'm this striving after eff
feet the power OF her natural beauty
is so marred that sooner or later Il gets
lost to sight altogether. for be It whis-
pered that time in its flight has scant
mercy with a pretty face!

Filny Negliges in Style

Negliges have never been so entranc-
ingly pretty. They go on getting love
lier and lovelier, until womankind will
soon be tempted to spend most of the
day lOunging about the house for the
sake Of wearing the adorable creations.
Graceful clinging. dainty. fluffy, friv-
olous, filmy, frothy, foamy-there is no
light and delicate adjective that would
not apply TO them. Some are so fine
they might almost be drawn through

There is lovely empire tea gown

THEHOME: ITS PROBLEMS AND INTERESTS
Gentle Art of Daring

one of the arts that is not easy TO
pick up and one Of the first things that
should be taught TO the young girl bud
ding into womanhood, as an essential
part of her home training, is the art OF
darning An expert darner will make
rent I'm wooden cloth practically invis-
ible by weaving together the torn
edges. matching them as carefully as
possible and afterward pressing the
rent In darning wooden cloth a fine
sewing silk is used in preference TO
wool. which would not be strong enough
unless the thread or ravellng was TOO
coarse.
Some years back hair was used for
darning cashmeres or dress goods.
Some neat. almost invisible. darns were
made In this way. the hair being me,
strong, and invisible Where the cloth
to conce;i, the thread between the face
and the back OF the C,Oth-in other
words. use a blind stitch Begin about
half an inch from the edge OF one SD i
of the rent and run the needle the
same distance from the outer edge
Conceal the thread carefully ana Draw
the edges closely together, nut not SO
thew overlap If the cloth has a nap
brush II back when you ars darning
aud afterward brush IL down again
Pressed Firmly Afterward.
A damp cotton cloth should be laid
over the Darn on the NipiiS 9ANN "a ~
cloth. Press It down once, then remove
the cotton cloth and press next the
woollen surface. being careful that you
do not press IL perfectly dry. but that
a very little steam arises from the spot
after the iron is removed. Remember
that If the cloth Is pressed perfectly dry
the mark of the iron will show through
on the right side OF the cloth.
Usually expert daTnerS use the Nefucal
and diagonal stitchss running with the
threads of the cloth in filing up a rent
ia a garment. For Inending a bias darn
the 'sup-and-down' thread will usually
be found the best. Unless the material
darned Is very thin use no piece OF
cloth under the darn. In case II Is nee
essary to use piece of cloth under
meath choose silk Of the color. This Will
be less clumsy as a backing than wool,
unless the wool Is very sheer.
For Table Linen.
Generally IL will be found that table
cloths first wear out In the folds. True,
these are not always made in the same
place even by the same iaundress. but
invariably there is a fold in the center.
BY cutting off a few inches from one
end and one side the fold will be altered.
and thus the cloth viii be given new
start.
Sheets generally wear thin in the CEN
ter I'm the same manner as tablecloths.
The same means NAV be used. or the
sheets cut in two. and the outside edges
sewn overland together forming a CEN
ter seam. The best thread for mending
and darning bed linen and towels Is
white embroidery cotton. or darning cot
ton which comes I'm balls.
