the garment the length of the trunk
but before the fold is laid a thick soft
twist OF tissue paper is to be put on the
line of the fold. and between it. so that
when the skirt Is packed it viii not

the cloth is folded over and firmly pin

OF the trunk IS ready to pack.
Packing Waists.
The waist takes more time TO arrange.
for if it has loops of elaborate fluffy
trimming all the tissue paper that can
be tucked in should be used TO prevent
its flattening. Bows should be separat-
ed with paper twisted and padded in.
Wide lace ruffles should be raised to
have a wad of paper put under, so that
when taken from the trunk the iiounce
viii not be crushed. The sleeves should
have whole sheets OF paper WrinkIed
and then stuffed in and the body of the
waist should be partially filled with the
same soft stuff. A waist thus stuffed
Will not be absolutely fiattened, no mat
ter how great a weight it sustans, and
so VIII be fresh.
If one has not a special trunk for hats
the best possible way OF transporting
them is to tack them firmly TO the bot
tom of the top tray. No hat box Is
necessary and fine wire tacks should be
used. Put these through the br:m under
otherwise near the crown. Fine tack
holes almost never show, and If the
fastening Is hammered in the hat is
held firm and so is not jammed. Wray
each feather or flower in piece Of tfs-
sue paper and twist it hard, so it viii
not be undone, Then cover with a
whole sheet of paper. Two or three
hats may be put in a tray this way
and then soft things, such as scarfs, thin
waists, stockings, boas and the like
may ge all around without being boxed
and each VIII come forth like new at the
end of q long journey. Anything heavy,
OF course would ruin the hats
It is better TO begin to pack by put
ting large objects, such as coats or
wrappers a the bottom. Immediately
corners and holes are left vacant into
which should be stuffed small things,
such as underwear. boots, slippers,
stockings or anything else of Il like
kind. When an even surface is built

Of tapes is tied across, and on this the
gown rests. The next layer is then
khotted and another gown goes on.
These strings should be tied as taut as
they can be pulled, in order To make
real support for the frocks. In the cor
ners about them may be tucked away
small things or soft lingerie.

OUR LETTER BOX.


SOUTH OMAHA, Nov. s.-To the Editor
of The Bee: The defeat of the sewerage
bonds in South Omaha on Tuesday was an
open, honest expression OF the taxpayers,
many of whom are strenuously opposed to
increasing the present heavy Indebtedness
of the city, while many others sincerely
believe the construction Of a main sewer
should be done by the stock yards company.
No doubt many took advantage of the OPP
portunity to display their malice and preju-
dice against a rich corporation; on the
other hand. great many who have no
property interests in the city worked and
voted In favor of the bonds.
The business men and fair-minded citi-
zens of the municipality justly thought they
were voting for their own interests in
dividually and collectively by opposing the
stupendous issue of S250,OOO for the special
benefit of the packing houses and stock
yards company. Let the opposing factions.
the citizens and stock yards company get
together and effect conciliating compro-
mise and have the whole city seweraged
next season. Every one desires to have a
complete sewerage system established and
rest assured the enterprising citizens of
the Magic City will meet the corporations
at least half way on this question.

BACK STRIKES A NEW POSE
Now Thinks Fourth Ward Can DO
without Councilman Until
Next Spring.

Councilman Pete Back seems to have
struck another attitude in the Fourth ward
vacancy matter. In a conversatio with
a reporter he said:
Whats the need of electing anybody to
MI this vacancy. anyhow? Can't we get
along without a Fourth ward councilman
until next spring? All the important things
are over with and / don't see why the
place should be filled at all. The law SAYS
we may elect to MI vacancies Perhaps
we have 10 do It. but II l should vote with
the minority. it would be a four to four
vote and how could anybody be elected ?"
Mr. Back did not say so, but the infer
ence was easily drawn that the execution
Of this scheme will retain for him his old
power OF being the deciding factor in i'm
portant legislation. With a majority four
and a minority three his vote would mean
everything in certain contingencies.
Therefore he is urging letting the va
oancy remain wide open.

SELLING FARMS AT AUCTION
Large Farm i'm Eastern Nebraska
Knocked Down TO Highest.
Bidder.

That selling real estate and particularly
farm lands at public auction is not only
popular, but an entirely satisfactory
method as well, was fully demonstrated last
Saturday, when the Omaha Real Estate
Auction company sold for Charles
Schwager, manager of the Atlantic Sanitary
Dairy of this city, a choice eastern
Nebraska farm of 40 acres situated one
quarter of a mile southwest OF the town of
Calhoun Washington county, Nebraska.
The property had been advertised extern
sively for two weeks and as a result there
was large number of buyers on the
ground when the time came to call the sale,
and this in spite of the fact that there had
been a steady downpour of rain all day
Active bidding characterized the sale from
the start and when finally the land was
knocked down, it was the unanimous opin-
ion Of every man present that IL sold for
every dollar II was worth. II is safe "a
predict that a number Of farm sales, as
we'll as sales OF other classes Of real estate
will follow as a direct result of the sue
cessful outcome of this one.
The auction plan affords a quick means
of disposing of not only very good property
but also of certain kinds OF real estate thai
could not be handled in any other manner
