desire to dodge the duh catalogue of COM

The Yulettde present sometimes takes the
form of Venetian glass, sometimes that of
sunshade handles. while still another de-
velopment is the elaborate and oddly snap
ed lamp We have passed through all
these. Now the craze is for bibelots the

pensable to the comfort and beauty of our
homes. The searchers after these novelties
are vending their way to Taburets in the

Weddings, too, have been claiming much
OF our time and attention these busy days
Perhaps the most notable was that of Mile
de Trevise with the Vicomte de Guebriant
The Church of ST. Philip du Roule was
beautifully decorated for the occasion with
lilies and palms, and the bride, as she
walked up the aisle the arm of her
father. was regally lovely in a gown or
thick oyster white satin. with a separate
train OF tulle covered with alencon lace.
This idea of a tulle train is a decided in
novation in the bridal toilet and one which,
1t is hoped. will be adopted, as 1t is de-
iightfully graceful and soft looking.
A Stunning Dozen.
The gowns OF the twelve bridesmaids were

How to Wash Blankets.

First make some soap jelly by heating
and simmering one pound of soap in one
quart of water until the former is dis
solved When cold it will be jelly.
Allow heaped tablespoonful of this jelly
and a teaspoonful of liquid ammonia for
each gallon of washing water, which should
be just hot enough to bear the hand in
comfortably. When the soap is dissolved
put the blankets into the suds pressing
them well down
Leave for quarter of an hour Wiring
with a wringer If possible and put into an
other similar lot of suds. Souse up and
down in this and wiring again, and IL the
blankets do not look clean put them through

such is the estimation of the men critics
concerning the contrariness of the feminine
m nd on this subject.
Dislikes Small Headgear
At the beginning of the season a very SEN
sible modiste designed a really charming
theater capote. consisting of three bands of
jeweled galloon forming a kind of diadem
in front with an upright plume or osprey
as trimming. a co.ffure of this descrip-
ton recalls the days of the Empress Joseph
inc and is exceedingly becoming, but the
modern beauty will have nothing to do with
1t and prefers her large chiffon, lace, sable,
velvet or erm:ne chapeau or a combination
OF all these materials to anything as con-
venient a diadem. There is one objec-
ton against the Josephine headdress which
recommends the large hat to favor and
that is the former demands the carriage,
and in the latter, being more democratic,
the wearer may walk or go in the subway
or cab.
Still the large hat is an added burden to
the already well-flled lap piled up with
opera glasses, boas and dozen or so more
trifes OF the new theater hats there are
the Gainsboroughs. in chiffon velvet, heavy
lace maline and tulle; the poke bonnet,
with it's picturesque strings that tie under
the chin and also nclose the young man
heart. These are fashioned shapes for
framing a pretty face. but be sure that the
face is pretty one before it goes into the
searching depths of an affair of this kind.
Then there is also the Charlotte Corday,
which is generally of lace and trimmed with
a wreath of flowers. Indeed, glimpse at
an audience before the large hats are re-
moved is like looking down on a garden of
roses. A clever little wrinkle of the girl in
the know is to buy a lovely silky beaver
of white or some evening shade and twist it
into smart shape. The next step is to look

THE QUEST OF BEAUTY
What the Exercises in Dumb

CIRCULATION rs AIM
NOT THE BUILDING UP OF ROCK
LIKE MUSCLE ALTOGETHER.
A Series of Movements Which is Per-
sisted in Will Reduce Flesh and
Aid Agility.

Written for The Evening Star by Katherine Morton.
Circulation is the end and aim of the
new school of dumbbell exercises. Not
the building up of rock-like muscles as
in the crude days of physical training for
women, the days when enthusiasm ran so
high that the purpose OF the work was
often defeated by the OVERRIDING of the
good work.
Health and beauty are the two things
which physical training intended to give
to women" say the up-to-date instruct
ors. IF girls are overworked in their
gymnasiums it stands to reason that
health and beauty won't be achieved. A
certain amount of muscle building rounds
out the form and makes it lovely; but the
main object is to get up good circula-
ton"

Useful Suggestions.
Wrinkles must be massaged away with
skin food. In addition to systematic mas
sage, always rub the face up when wash
ing and drying it. In general the motions
for face massage are upward and outward.
To reduce the hips ride a bicycle and
take mat exercises There are also many
other exercises which will produce the de-
sired result.
For parasites. apply to the scalp mix
ture of 100 grammes glycerine and
grammes bichlorlde Of mercury. Wash out
in half an hour with tar soap.
Depilatory: Twenty grammes sulphydrate
of quicklime made by passing current or
sulphureted hydrogen through layer or
Quicklime; 10 grammes pulverized starch;
10 grammes glycerinated starch; 10 drops
essence of lemon. Apply to the downy part
OF the skin, wash off in half an hour with
warm water, or sooner if il smarts. Vase
line will cool the smarting. The mixture Is
poisonous and must be kept from children.
Have your druggist make the compound.
Hard massage with a skin food will re-
duce fieshy face.

Relic of Indian Uprising.

A telegram from Pierre, S. D., says
that the historical society of that city
has secured relic in the shape of an
old iron-cased, cathedral-shaped clock,
which was stolen from the cabin of
one of the settlers who was murdered
in the New Ulm massacre in 1862. The
clock was taken by Black Eagle, an
Indian. who was in the massacre, and
who now lives on the Cheyenne river.
In 1885, Axel Lindquist, of this city,
was conducting clock repair shop at
Fairbank, and this clock was brought
by Black Eagle for repair, and its his
tory told. Linquist traded new clock
for the old relic, and it has now been
turned into the State Historical society
for keeping as part of it's exhibit.

COUNTY BOARDS APPROVE
Believe in Bill to Increase Pay of
Commissioners.

A bill providing for increased pay
for county commissioners will be pre-
sented to the state legislature at it's
next session and the measure will have
the solid support of nearly all the
county boards in Minnesota. Andrew
j. Eckstein of this city, chairman of
the committee on legislation, appoint
ed at the last meeting of the Minneso-
ia State County Commissioners asso-
citation, has received many replies
from the circular which he sent out
recently and the outlook is most en-
couraging.
Mr.. Eckstein's circular, which was
published in full in the Review two
weeks ago, asked the cooperation of
the commissioners of the state and
they are responding in great shape.

ed committees to take the matter up

tives but in more instances they in

will not be transferable.
Missouri's forestry, fish and game
exhibit at the World s Fair will cover
nearly two acres of ground and will
be situated west of the Forestry, Fish

DON CAESAR DE BAZAN
Dixon Stock Company at Opera House
Tonight.

The theatrical season of 1904 is
chiefly marked by the activity mani
tested by managers In the direction of
the better class of drama. Managers
and stars have, for several seasons,
shesitated about bringing to the public
classic drama when interest in such
productions had apparently ceased.
Happily, change is at last taking
place, and once more the public taste
is turning toward what is best in the
line of dramatic endeavor. An am
bilious and praiseworthy production
of this kind is that of Mr.. Leland
Webb, supported by Leila G. Hill and
the Dixson Stock Co. in "Don Caesar
de Bazan:' which will appear at our
local playhouse. OF Mr.. Webb and
Miss Hill advance reports have moth
ing to say but the best, and their por-
trayal of the leading roles is certain
to meet with the most gracious favor.
of the theatre goer.
The supporting company has the
record of being exceptionally strong
and the lavishness Of costumes, seen
cry and stage effects provided for the
attraction add no small amount to the
well deserved success of the presenta-
ton. The play itself needs no encom-
ium, but suffice it to say that it stands
at the head of all similar dramas.
Mr.. Webb and his supporting troupe
will appear at the New Ulm opera
house this evening.
