course, elbow length and finished with
the insertion and lace. Made in a
pretty soft blue, or delicate pink, it
is as pretty as anything l could sug-
gest. One more this same girl had,
and 1t was pretty also. The color was
flesh and the fabric surah, soft and
heavy. The back fitted snugly and
the fare commenced below the waist
line. The front was full and soft and
was finished with double cascade of
lace down the front that fell to the
floor. The trimming was set in a
fanciful design and very effective 1t
was, too. II you can afford to, 1t
would be a good idea TO have one

JENNIE (About the New Blankets).
There are fashions in blankets nova
days Just as there are in table linen
and curtains and bed fittings One
used to have blankets and comfort
ables just for warmth. There was
never much question of art effects or
emDrOlQerY OF DecOullHenccS- Iott -
some time before this season 1t has
been decided that aln ones outfit de
mutt must be attractive and becom-
ing. The American girl is making a
fad of dressing for herself. Back many
centuries ago women dressed to please
men; later in a higher state of civiliza-
ton. as women grew cleverer and
more to be feared, they dressed Tor
each other, not so much to gain nat
terry as to avoid criticism. But to-day
it is herself that the American girl
dresses for, and she cares as much
about the fittings of her own room
her lounging gowns, her pretty night
robes and bed furnishings as she does
her dancing frocks and street suits. She
wants to please her own good taste
Her fad about blankets and comfort
ables is to have them all in one color
scheme, the one that is most becoming
to her and should dominate her bed
room.
Each winter bed is outftted with one
pair of blankets, one silk or sateer
comfortable and with a single blanket
or throwover, which is used In place
of former crochet spread and crazy
quilts for q nap or for an invalid's
chair. Usually the blankets are white
with e striped border in the colol
chosen, say pale blue, which is YER,
fashionable this year. The ends art
bound with wide Liberty satin ribbor

but as you discovered there Is very apt
to be something radically wrong with
them. You say you are going to a

you will need the coolest fabric made
in a pretty way for afternoons. Wool
is too warm and wash materials not
quite nice enough, so why not get
heavy china silk. One of the pref

pies must be chopped the last thing
or they will discolor. This salad Is
delicious with real Italian mayonnaise
or a cream dressing. And oranges
are delicious with celery, and apples
with pineapples, or an entire salad OF
celery and mixed nuts. but this would
be a shade richer than dyspepric
would require. The most economical
of all winter salads is cabbage. and
one of the most delicious 1t should
be chopped fine just before serving
and tablespoonful Of fine chopped
onion and two Of green peppers
should be added to a quart. then a
French or cream dressing, and all at
the expense of a few cents.
An excellent variation from the plain
French dressing of oil, vinegar and salt
is as follows: Half a teaspoonful OF
salt, a pinch of sugar, eighth OF
teaspoonful of paprika. a few drops or
tobasco sauce. add quarter or cup
of vinegar and slowly drop IN oil until
it thickens, beating all the time A
simple cream dressing where oil Is not

a lemon, mix with half a teaspoonfut
of sugar and salt. and the white or a

cold.
One reason possibly that Americans
were slow to acquire a real relish OF
salads may have been because OF the
fear of devouring insects and microbes
along with green leaves. 1t seems so
difficult to get anything that Is un-
cooked thoroughly, hygienically whole
some. But the London doctors seem to
have solved the difficulty by ordering
all greens, eaten in hospitals or by
their patients anywhere, to be washed
In a weak solution OF borax water.
OF course the purest borax must be
used and the solution must be al
ways fresh. Half a teaspoonful or
bOrax powder to a basin Of fresh water
is about the right proportion Each
leaf should be separately dipped up
and down several times to insure per-
feet cleanness and rinsed in clear
water If convenient. Though II the
greens were not rinsed no harm
would be done, as the borax solution
is absolutely without injurious prop
critics, and would. in fact, be a whole
some wash for mouth and throat
Well prepared and artisticaily
served salads have threefold value
to the wise housekeepers. They are
the most wholesome of foods. the
most economical, the easiest to pre-
pare and the most appetizing in ap-
pearance. AS a rule children are very
fond Of them and they tempt the ap-
petite of weary jaded workers as no
other dish can think OF. Surely
nothing for the same money can or
fer so many epicurean virtues.

A Ida Optimist.

Thomas P. Rigney, a well known min
ing engineer, has returned from an ex-
tended visit to Ida. He says notwith-
standing the temporary setback this
district has owing to the failure of the
Goldfield Bank and Trust company-the
officials OF said institution being largely
interested in Lida-the future of the
district is most promising and the pres
ent physical conditions OF the different
properties are better than they ever
were. On seven different properties,
namely, Florida, Wisconsin, Blue Dick,
Centennial, Brown Hope, Thanksgiving
and Copper Queen, ore is being saved
and on some of these properties the
showing is such as would move the
phlegmatic. 1t is stated that on the
Centennial a streak of ore was found in
the breast of a drift at Il depth of 80 feet
that showed assay values OF over LOO
ounces silver per ton.

Murder at Jumbo

Michael Ward, a miner about As
years Of age, employed at the Red Top
mine, was fatally stabbed last Sunday
afternoon in a saloon in Jumbo town
bv Eugene Harris, q fellow miner work
ing IN the Velvet mine. A fight in
which Harris was the aggressor started
in the saloon and while both men were
on the floor with Ward holding Has
down, Harris drew a pearl-h@rdied
stilletto from inside his vest and
stabbed Ward in the chest, t4e blade
penetrating the heart. Ward rose to
his feet but in a second fell on the floor
dead. The two men had known each
other 10 Randsburg, Calf, and both
came here almost at the same time.
Although no motive for the crime is
known, men who were acquainted with
both are Of the opinion that the trouble
dates hack to the time they We're to-
gether at Randsburg. Harris, immed-
lately after the death of Ward, ac-
companied by his brother James Harris,
came over 10 Goldfeld and surrendered
himself TO Sheriff Bradley. Justice
Bell, after investigating the ease, held
Harris without bail on the charge of
wilful murder.

secretary of Judge Lindsey's Juvenilei
court, and relating the incidents Of the
