Homecoming week" in Kentucky
is proving most successful. Thous-
ands of Kentuckians residing in all
parts of the United States have return
ed to their native state to participate
in the celebration and ceremonies in
honor of Lincoln, Foster, Boone and
other Kentuckians, which have been
conducted on a most elaborate scale.
The Homecoming" idea was a happy
thought and the week should be one of
pleasure and profit to all the partici-
pants.

Harry O'Briant's eagle is dead. Six
fancy, highbred, game chickens have
also gone over the dead line. The

on the chickens all the time. He was
allowed certain liberty with one foot
tied to a rope. Until his untimely
death the eagle had been cock OF the

had the dogs blufed. The other dsy,

Mrs. Peters In the Shop.

her husband, J. H. Peters, Is manager
and proprietor. She can fire the boil

she can run the kitchen range and

a difficult piece of work, requiring az
curacy and speed at the same time, IS
no more to her than threading need
le. Mrs. Peters went ;Hto the shop be-
cause she wanted to be with her hus-
band and had no children at home.
She began trying her hand at few,
easy things, just for fun, and went on
to more difficult ones, until now there
is nothing in the shop that she can
not do. At the same time she does
all her own housework, and has not
outgrown a fondness for fancy work.
The muscles stand out conspicuously
on her arms as a result Of her violent
exercise in the machine shop, but her
husband, who IS inordinately proud of
her, declares that her heart is still rs
full of womanly tenderness as on the
day when she first became his bride.

walls of small tables covered with
mignonette-green silk, and on which
are artistically displayed the bridal
treasures, 60 each Of which is at

draped at the sides with large choux

climbers, while through the whole
suite of rooms are distributed in profu-

STUDIED DANCES OF INDIANS.
M. Gabrielle Spent Years in Effort to
Trace Oriqin of Gyrations.

Trace Origin Of Gyrations.
M. Gabrielle spent nearly two
years among the Indians of America
studying their dances to see if ne
could discover from their gyratlons
a clew to their origin.
He found among the Pueblcs forms
which convince him that their re-
ligious dances were of Chinese, or at
least of Oriental origin, while he firm
ly was convinced that the Apaches de-
rived their war dances, their sun
dances and other ceremonial dances
from Asiatic forms.
Among the northern Indians he de-
clares he found semblance to Ice
landic-and therefore Norge dances
and traces of old Jewish ceremonial
dances, especially in their council
lodge dances.
The ancient dance Of the Eskimos
was a chief feature Of their festivals.
The natives formed in a group, in
the center of which stood the chief
performer.
He sang a weird song, beating time
on a drum, gesticulating and dancing
like a madman.
Sometimes the song was meant
merely for the entertainment of the
company, who held hands and circled
around him like children do when they
play Frog in the Meadow"
But generally the song and dance
had a ceremonial, if ro+ religious
significance. The man in the center
ehanted satirical NTH song against
another Eskimo, who made slgnlh
cant responses.
/. Perhaps the stralgest of dances is
that Of the wild Hairy Alnu, the
mountain savages of Japan. In one
Of their few public semi-religious fes'
tivals the girls put on long yellow
gowns painted with rude splotcnes
of white and red, and with a motrleo
blue cloth slung over their backs. The
Significance of this peculiar garment
has not been revealed to travellers
who have seen their dances.
Two little children are placed II
the center of a cleared circle, ano
the oddly dressed Ainu girls &C
around and around, calling out Ger
tain words repeatedly and hopping al
ways on one foot.
The. dance in a slight way is saac
to resemble the "Sir Roger de Cover
ley" and, though it is uncouth ana
barbarous to degree, it is not WIN
out a certain wild beauty.-Calcage

Butterfly Designs for Gowns.

It is to the butterfly that certain
dressmakers owe their inspirations for
frocks. The fiutterer of the garden IS
unsurpassed for variety and delicacy
of color. A French constructor of fem
inine garb was the first who went to
the winged creature for suggestions.
He did so at the instance Of an artist
friend, who said that Of all the har-
monious designs in nature those OF
the butterfly were the finest. So the
dressmaker has been sending orders TO
a Boston naturalist who gets choice
specimens from tropical countries.
Only last week Is butterflies were sent
across the sea to serve as suggestions
for gowns.-New York Press.

Appropriately Gloved.

There is nothing so conducive to \
woman's self-respect as to be neatly
and appropriately gloved. "A lady Is
known by her shoes and by her
gloves" 1t is an aphorism that has
stood the test of years.
It is poor economy to buy bargain
sale gloves, except on rare occasions
when you are sure of their quality.
Many women make the mistake OF
thinking that tight-f1tting glove
causes the hand to look small. Moth
ing is farther from the truth. A tight
fitting glove makes the hand bulge in
places, so that it looks illporportioned.
On the other hand, the glove that IS
too large gives a slovenly appearance
to the hand.
Everything depends on the way the
glove is put on the first time. The
glove which is PUT on crooked can
never be Strengthened.
No one but the woman who is by ma
ture tidy, realizes how much longer
gloves will last if they are carefully
removed, and cleaned and mended.
One girl, who prides herself upon
keeping all her gloves in perfect or
der, always removes a slight stain On
her gloves Immediately with benzine,
not putting the glove away soiled, SO
that the stain will become set and i'm:
movable.
Gloves should always be pulled out
fat by the finger tips and wrist, and
put away in tissue paper.
With ordinary care, any woman can
clean her own gloves. She must have
on hand some of the pest grade Of gas
olene, soft tooth brush and a COW
cred ironing board. Pour some OF the
gasolene into bowl. If the glove fits
you it is better to put it on your hand
and dip the tooth brush in gasolene,
rub the glove until it is clean, rubbing
it with piece of flannel or bath tow.
ell until it dries.
A white glove should never be worn
more than once without cleaning. II
it is cleaned properly after each wear
ing, it can be worn Indefinitely, as the
spots do not become set.-New Haven
Register.
