So far, at least, as Paris is con-
cerned the lola legend has gone the
way of most others. 1t may now be
written down as dead. This is clearly
proved by the results of the sales Of
his furniture and personal belongings,
which is usually the enthusiasts OPP
portunity. Though working for his
literary effects in social strata not con-
genial to many, M. lola had his own
notions of artistic and refined environ
ment, which found expression in his
home. 1t is just these personal re-
Elections of the late novelist's mind,
drawn from the house where many

that the result was disappointing

USEFUL HINTS

Tired feet should be well bathed in
warm water; to which little sea-salt
has been added. Dry thoroughly, and
rub with a little lemon juice. 1t is won

them
Alcohol sometimes causes blush
stains to appear on the lamp of a chat
ing dish or tea kettle. Simply rubbing
with a cloth moistened with ammonia
is said to remove the discolorations.
When long hair becomes so matted
that it is difficult to comb the tangled
locks, they should be saturated with
alcohol. This done, they will become
amenable to the brush and comb as II
by magic.
Powdered alum and borax mixed to-
gether have been found very effectuaI
as moth preventives. AS the
usual moth preventives have an
intensely disagreeable odor 1t is worth
while trying this mixture, which, OF
course, has no smell.
Medicine stains on silver should be
rubbed with little methylated spirit,
and the spoon then washed in warm
soapy water.
If a lamp smells unpleasantly ron
may be quite certain that some part OF

In order to keep silver tnat Is not

the silver is bright and dry when put
away it may be used at any time with

After this time the -four needs dry

1t should always be remembered
that in fumigating room by means
of burning. sulphur, water should be
kept boiling in the room at the same
time, as sulphur vapor is less effective
in a dry atmosphere than in moist
one.
Use a silver knife to peel apples,
and the hands will not be blackened
as when a steel knife is used. The
acid of the fruit (acetlc acluj acts On
the iron in the latter case, but does not
affect the silver.
One housekeeper says that she uses
only the red part of rhubarb for cook
ing, cutting it up without removing the
skin. Instead of stewing it, she bakes
it in the oven with sugar and little
water.
A sofa pillow filed with sweet clover
gives a delicious and refreshing odor.
Many prefer clover to pine filling.
Mating is greatly improved If gone
over with a damp cloth once a week.
Do not have the cloth wet, as water
rots the mating.
Salt sprinkled over low coal fire
will greatly aid in curling feathers
Shake the plumes constantly and do
not hold them too near the fire.

The Milliner.
I am wearied at sight Of the stir
painted flowers,
The lilac which never knew sunshine
or showers,
The mock yellow cowslips, the buds
of strange hue,
s-No streamlet eer kissed this for
get-me-not blue!
In this hot sitting city no winds ever
play
Ger pink and white clover fields,
sweet scented hay,
And I long for the westerly soft-fan-
ming breeze
Which stirs in light whispers tie
shady elm trees.
There's a lane with high banks,
where the trailing wild rose
Shyly opens and bushes its charms
to disclose;
Where the woodbine and ivy wreaths
lovingly cling,
And the thrush and the nightingale
pipe in the spring.
Far away DER the streets and tall
spires of the town
4 watch the red sun as it slowly sinks
down;
And know that the moonlight will
shine in that lane,
AS I turn with dim eyes to LIES

yards from the main forest. Sure
ly," thought /, those flames will spare
that one" But not SO. A great, red
flash leaped down from the seething
forest, caught this lone tree by the
lower branches, ran its full length,
jumped off at the top and spent its
fury in the air. IS
In almost a twinkIfng, the old tree
was a blackened trunk.
"Wuagh! Look"
At that moment moose tore his
way out of the burning forest He
sprang across the ravine in three
jumps, his long, sharp hoofs kicking
up clouds of sand and gravel at every
leap, and disappeared in the grove to
the left
Next came the three wolves, with
great, red tongues hanging out of
their mouths.
Then came five deer, with tails up
and antlers lying back upon their
necks and shoulders. They passed
so quickly that they might be de-
scribed as "a flash and vanish"
They were followed by an old uoe
and her fawn. The little fawn was
very much frightened. 1t kept rum
ming around its mother, beneath her,
and between her fore legs, again and
again. The mother seemed much
vexed, and kept pushing it with her
nose, meanwhile stamping her feet
viciously.
ugh! Me scare EN-" said the In
dian, jumping down from the rock.
AS he ran toward them, the old deer
lowered her head and uttered low
sound, which brought the fawn to its
the first time, what was expected of
it, and almost flew across the ravine,
disappearing in a thicket of hazel.
pussy willow and young birch, that
lay at the northern end of the grove.
The mother followed close after it
and went bounding through the
thicket like a dog chasing rabbit
through a wheat field.
waugh"
This exclamation from the Indian
caused me to turn my head in the
direction of the fire, and here camaf
three bears, two black ones and x
brown one. The brown one seemed
to be on fire. He came rolling and
tumbling, growing and snarling and
snatching at his furry coat with
tooth and nail Doubtless some burn
ing brands had fallen upon him.
as he rolled down the hill When
they reached the bottom of the ra-
vine, they all tumbled into one growl
ing, snarling mass of black and
brown fur.
The Indian suddenly threw his
head back and uttered a loud whoop
"a regular war whoop. This
startled the bears and they fell apart
as If by magic and sneaked up the
ridge
ugh! no more, all gone" said the
Indian.
There was nothing to watch now
but the fire. On it came in one
grand sweep of lurid destruction. 1
wondered whether it would leap
across the ravine and destroy the
grove on the other side.
When it reached the edge Of the
forest, one great sheet of fame leap
ed out but fell short. Another tried
1t but did not quite make it. A third
effort was successful, and the great
ocean of fire swept across and caught
in the branches on the other side.
The little grove was soon destroyed,
and the fire, for want of something to
feed upon, died out.
There was nothing to see now but
blackened trunks and branches, with
little wreaths of smoke curling up
here and there in the wake of the
fire, and great cloud of smoke being
driven before the wind toward the
northeast.-The Little Chronicle.

SEPARATE WAIST FULLNESS PER:
SONIFIED.

The separate waist, be it of the lin
gerie or silken variety, is fluffiness and
frilliness personified. While the lin
gerie waist certainly holds the center
of the stage, it has by no means showed
to the wall the waist of chiffon or thin
silks. Double chiffon particularly is
in high favor for these little separate
blouses, and by double chiffon is, not
meant the double cloth width in meas
ure, but rather a quality of unusual
strength in fact, this double chiffon
will stand nice suds bath and look
none the worse for it, The model
shown has deep square yoke, finished
with frill of lace and bretelle effect.
To this yoke the blouse bodice of the
chiffon is attached in full shirrings
and laid from the yoke to nearly the
waistline in deep shirred tucks. EN-
brcidery ornaments the bretelles and
yoke straps, and covers the bands on
the puff sleeve just above the elbow.
A frill of the chiffon, overlaid with
ruffie of the lace, finishes the sleeve.
The lace is a creamy tint, the chiffon
rose pink faint in it's single width,
but giving charming shade effects in
the double Washington Times.

THE SMALL ADoRNMENTs.

1t would be an excellent thing If all
women had the time and the attention
to attend to the details of their ward
robes. 1t is certainly the little things
that make the dress this season, and
the number of Titles which are pro-
vided for feminine adornment is very
great.
While speaking of the Titles why
not mention the bracelet which must
adorn every arm? 1t is made of bronze
green gold and it is in little links with
a colored stone set every so far. And
there is the Countess Cassini bracelet,
a Russian bracelet, with three jeweled
bands of gold set an inch apart and
held in place by gold bars. These
triple bracelets are beautiful with the
ruffled sleeves of the spring and sum-
mer.
The neck chains are also pretty,
and they are of great variety. Every
woman must wear two chains. One Is
the very long, slender one, made OF
links, upon which hangs her fan or
small vanity case. And the other is
the short necklace of beads, which ties
around her throat like dog collar

RAZING THE TEMPLE
Big Frame Taken Down for Audlto-
rum to Cost $5oo,oo0

Tourists and frequenters of Central
park have found new interest in watch
ing the work Of tearing down the old
Temple building on the northeast cor
ner Of Fifth and Olive streets, and 1t
is observed that even the historical
Tree of Wisdom in the park beyond
the band stand and many Of the bench
es in that locality are deserted. The
loungers either love to see other peo-
pie work or they are taking lessons
in what is regarded as the scientific
method Of razing a great frame struc-
ture in given time.
The contractors are progressing rap
idly with the work. Last week every
thing inside the building that could be
detached was removed, and the roof
will disappear.
The lot is to be the site of the Audi
torium building, a modern structure to
cost S5O0000. Store and office buildings
will front Fifth street, and at the rear
will be erected a mammoth auditorium
the largest in Southern California. Bap-
tist church services will be held in the
auditorium regularly and on great oc-
casions the auditorium will be rented.
While the old temple is being demol-
ished, Just two blocks east, corner of
Fifth and Spring streets, a ten-story
fire-proof hotel, to cost about $500 900,
is in course of erection.
These improvements alone in the bus
mess district is striking evidence to the
strangers in our midst of the solid de-
velopment of Los Angeles.
