silk stockings are the smartest foot cover
iugs for such suits. which are worn by
boys from six to ten. After this age Mas
ter Tommy's dancing suit Is much on ,ne
order of his street garments. His best pip
and tucker are worn at the soiree, but IL
he is a Beau Brummel in embryo there is q
special evening get-up in plain or diagonal
black cloth, consisting OF Knockers ana
Tuxedo coat. Patent pumps likewise go
with this suit. but timer boys are OFTEN
permitted the girlish strap slipper which
is easier to keep on.
From Eight to Sixteen.
Most charming are the dancing gowns
shown for girls from eight to sixteen, es-
pecially those for soiree wear. for here the
party quality is given full play. Challies
as fine as silk are herring-boned in colors
to match the pattern, and made up with
silk or velvet ribbons for the smaller girls.
Organizes, Swisses and dotted muslins
figure largely in the models for the teen
ages, wide and magnificently Powered rib
bon sashes giving the white and creams
gay touch. Hairbows standing up in high
butterfly fashion go with these, In colors
to match the sash or pure white.
A charming blouse dress shown by one
shop was Of all-over batiste embroidery In
a rich cream. White Valenciennes lace,
fully quilted, formed an under-edge for the
deep collar of this, and deeper lace arrang-
ed the same way lent fuiinesS 10 the DOT
tom Of the skirt The harlow and sash
were of blue velvet ribbon and pure white
was advised for the kid shoes and stock
ings.
In the same shop, for a boy of ten,
very handsome velvet suit In deep blue
was displayed. The accompanying shirt
was of fine lawn, with knife-pleated
frills, and without the babyish cuffs to
turn over those of the coat The coat was
in sack shape and frogged handsomely
at the front with black, a narrow silk
braid giving the same note at the outside
seam of the Knockers.
Quantities of ribbons are used to orna-
ment some of the dance frocks for misses
who have come to the dignity of French
heels, which, however must not be too

Home Dressmaking.

The Diet Of "La Bernhardt. {"

To know the daily diet of distinguished
people is information peculiarly interesting
to many persons. Nine. Sarah Bernhard
has herself raised the domestic curtain and
disclosed to view the diet she affects
Breakfast is entirely ''out Of the bill." but
she finds compensation for this abstinence
in a luncheon consisting of a bouillabaise
and roast beef. For dinner the divine
Sarah" contents herself with an egg beaten
up in beer-a singular, somewhat unsatis-
flying and certainly not fascinating feast
But, marvel of marvels, her supper some-
times consists wholly OF mussels. 1t is said
that no man Is hero to his valet. In the
case of Nine. Bernhardt 1t may be supposed
that she is no heroine to her chef.

Japanese Ladies Smoke.

Smoking is almost a universal custom
among Japanese ladies' The empress uses
a silver pipe with a stem ten inches long.
The bowl is very small-in fact, only
quantity OF tobacco sufficient to give the
smoker two or three whiffs can be put Into
1t. Then the ashes are knocked out, and
the pipe Is carefully cleaned before 1t is re-
filled. To an American this form of smok-
ing seems to involve too much work. A
pipe is cleaned many times in the course OF
an afternoon. The Japanese word for smok-
ing means, literally, drinking tobacco"

With the short skirt the short jacket Is
most often seen, although be it understood
that long coats viii be extremely fashion
able this winter. The Jackets are either
shcrt-only to the waist line-or have the
position effect. In front they give as long
WASTED an effect as possible but are close
fitting. showing only a narrow line OF
waistcoat. the blouse and the loose fronts
being no longer thought SO smart. There
are a few short sacque coats among the
rev styles. but they lack the up-to-date
lcok and seem almost like remodeled gar
ments. For afternoon the cloth costumes
with longer coats are extremely attractive.
and the gown with waist and skirt to
match and a smart long coat is becoming
to all figures. The coats are made closer
fitting than last year.

For the Wee Folk.

The latest fashion in millinery for wee
girls is the large white felt or beaver hat
trimmed with big clusters of velvet and silk
roses to match the color of the little cloth
or silk pelisse or coat. This particular fash
ion possesses definite advantage, the roses
being infinitely easier to match than the
headgear itself, while a single hat can be
made to do duty for two or three different
toilets. Brown is, besides, much worn by
the nursery folk, and in the case of little
boys the brown hats are frequently trimmed
with wide tartan ribbon.

The Rev. Edward E. Knapp, who
has resigned the pastorate of the
Central Baptist church of Brooklyn,
says that one of his reasons for doing
SO was his inability to preach sensa-
tional sermons. He believes that in
nearly all the city churches the only
ministers who can fill the pews are
those who are somewhat sensational.
when 1 handed in my resignation,
said DR.. Knapp, 81 told the trustees
that hoped they would find a man
who, without being a clown or a
mountebank, would have little of
the sensational about him. I am en-
tirely lacking in that, and feel have
not the qualities to attract crowds of
people to church. There is nothing
left except to be sensational" Pas
tor Knapp does not believe there is
anything peculiar about the Central
Baptist church, but he thinks the
same conditions exists practically in
all city churches. DIR. Knapp spent
several years in work among railroad
men and other workingmen, and likes
that labor. He expects to come to
Colorado to recuperate, and after a
time will take up some form Of evan
gellcal work among the workingmen.

The Water Works Question.

AS announced in last weeks HER
AID, Messrs. O'Brian Il Rhoades, of
Denver, who are putting in water
works systems in several Western
Slope towns, arrived here Saturday
and looked over the water works
proposition.
Several meetings were held with
the town council, which We're at
tended by some of our heaviest tax
payers, and the ground between
Meeker and the mouth OF the canon
was examined. Messrs. O'Brian &
Rhoades explained various systems
to the council, as to cost and working
advantages. The system recon-
mended, however, would cost up
wards of $50, 900; and needless to say,
this is beyond the reach of Meeker
ut present or in the near future.
The question is up for discussion
at the hands of the public, and every
one having an idea or suggestion,
pro or con, to advance in the matter,
is invited to send the same to THE
HERALD office.
1t is'evidently the general opinion
that we need water works and need
them badly, but no steps will be
taken to supply our needs in this di-
rection until the matter is thoroughly
canvassed by the taxpayers in all its
bearings.
Enlightenment all along the line is
what we want first, and this we are
likely to receive during the next few
weeks.

head and killed himself. The dead

Triumphs Of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be removed
entirely; bones are spliced; pipes
take the place of diseased sections of
veins; antiseptic dressings are APP
piled /, wounds, bruises, burns and
like injuries before Inflammation sets
in, which causes them to heal with
out matruatlon and in one-third the
time required by the old treatment.
Chainbsrlain's Pain Balm acts on
this same principle. 1t is an antisep-
tic and when applied to such injuries,
causes them to heal quickly. 1t also
allays the pain and soreness. Keep
u bottle of Pain Balm in your home
and it will save you time and money,
not to mention the inconvience and
suffering which such injuries entail.
