Dark Gowns in Favor.

AS is always the case when light
colors have been fashionable for some
time. there is revolution in favor
OF dark ones, so this year there will
be many dark costumes worn. But
there are some charming browns and
green's and purples, and one shade of
red in the American Beauty rose color
and all of these are thought very
smart.
The black cloth or black velvet cos
tune however, or the very dark
brown, will be the most popular Of
any, and the same cCloring is carried
out in the afternoon and evening
wraps. But in these days so many
gowns are requisite. and also so many
wraps, that it would seem possible to

different colors in winter outfit

Winter on the plains was season of
severity for the early settlers. whose
resources alike in fuel and food were
not too extensive. Franklin's fore
thought had provided the houses of
himself and Battersleigh with proper
fuel, and he was quite ready to listen
to Curly when the latter suggested
that it might be good thing for
them to follow the usual custom and
go out on hunt for the buffalo herd.
in order to supply themselves with
their winters meat.
Franklin, Battersleigh and Curly set
out These three had a wagon and
riding horses. and they were accom-
panied by second wagon. owned by
Sam. the liveryman. WHO took with
him Curly's mozo. the giant Mexican
Juan. The latter drove the team, a
task which Curly scornfully refused
when it was offered him, his cowboy
creed rating any conveyance other
than the saddle as far beneath his
station.
At night they slept beneath the
stars. uncovered by any tent. and
saluted constantly by the whining coy
broken by the hoarser, roaring note
of the great gray buffalo wolf. At
morn they awoke to an air surcharged
with some keen elixir which gave de-
light in sense of living. All around
lay new world. wild world. virgin

day of their journey the travellers
noted that the plain began to rise

ahead. so that when there came an
exclamation from the half-witted
Mexican. whose stolid silence under
most circumstances had become a
proverb among them, each face was
at once turned toward him.

In starching doilios with fringed
edges it is well to dip the fringe or
lace into salt water before starching.
In buying canned vegetables or
fruits considerable saving may be
effected by purchasing by the dozen
cans.
II is generally thought that a little
starch in pillow slips and handker-
chiefs keeps them clean longer than if
not starched.
White velvet, or broadcloth. can be
cleaned by rubbing with flour or corn
meal. brushing it off and renewing it
as often as needed to remove the
dirt.
When making boiled starch add to
it a small quantity of gum arabic (pre-
viously dissolved) and salt. Clothes
starched with this will not stick to
