Continuation of the Bake Navajo blanket sale on Monday afternoon.

THE BALKE BLANKET SALE
The Big Auction Will be Resumed To-
 morrow Afternoon.

The Bake auction sale of Navajo In dian blankets, postponed last week on account of the illness and death of the auctioneer. will be resumed at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in the Gooding building, opposite Hotel Adams. There is an immense stock of the blankets to be disposed of yet, notwithstanding the great number sold at the previous sale And, moreover, all the best ones have been reserved for the last.
 All these blankets, constituting the biggest and most varied collection of Navajo blankets that was perhaps ever collected together in the south west, were personally selected by Mr. Bake, who took into account design and weave. Of the several hundreds of blankets which will be offered for sale, none is of a conventional design, but they are all of the original Indian design, no two alike.
 There are the various combinations of the Navajo and Swastika crosses, there is the lightning blanket and the famous blanket of the chief, which is seldom offered for sale.
 This entire collection of blankets must be shortly disposed of regardless of cost, and none of them will be re- served. The sale will begin at ?: 30 on Monday afternoon. Everybody is cor dially invited. There will be seats for the ladies.

ANNUAL DANCE.
Student Nurses at Columbia Hospital
as Hostesses.

The annual Christmas dance of the stu
dent nurses of Columbia Hospital for
Women was held last night at the nurses
home attached to the hospital. More than
a hundred dancers took advantage of the
invitation extended them to be present.
During the three years of their period
of training the women who have devoted
their lives to caring for the sick do not
get much opportunity to indulge in the
lighter pleasures. so that the annual dances
at the hospital are spots of the brightest
kind in their experience. The decorations
for the dance were in keeping with the
season. The assembly hall and retiring
rooms were mass of evergreen, holly and
gaily colored paper arranged by the deft
fingers of the young students. Festoons of
holly and mfstletoe tied with long stream
ers of red crepe paper were hung every
where. The floor was ideal and the music
exceptional.
The nurses discarded their sober garb of
blue and white for the daintier evening
gowns. Tie nurses of Columbia Hospital
come from every section of the United
States and Canada. They last night APP
peared at their best as hostesses at their
pretty home
The festivities continued until long past
the usual retiring hour. After the pro-
gram was concluded dainty supper
served Those present included the menu
bers of the hospital staff, representatives of
the board of directors and many friends
of the hostesses and of the hospital

The Pursuit of Beauty.
Paris Letter to the London Telegraph.

Paris Letter to the London Telegraph
You must suffer to be beautiful, according
to a French saying. There seems to be
some truth in the statement, If lady's
maid is to be believed She has revealed
the secrets of her mistress boudoir, or,
rather, torture chamber. The lady, herself,
is now beautiful, but one wonders that she
is still alive. For months she lay fiat on
her back on the floor, motionless. with her
arms close to her sides. during several hours
every day. This was, it appears, to improve
her figure. During the rest of the day. for
the same period of time, she sat on high
stool giving and rocking the upper part of
her body backward and forward and from
side to side increasingly. BY this process
she is said to have acquired statuesque
throat and sylph's waist. The lady's nose,
having soaring nature, was corrected
and made Grecian by the constant ap-
plication. day and night, for months of
spring bandage. One nostril was original
ly larger than the other, so she wore
small sponge in 1t for a year. Her cheeks
have been flied out and rounded by injec-
lions of paraffin Her ears for months were
compressed against the sides of her head by
springs, while heavy weights were attached
to the lobes to produce the required elon-
gated shape. which has been successfully
achieved. Having suffered this complicated
martyrdom for year, the lady. as already
stated. Is now beautiful.
