most OF the ernpirss negligees are
made over carefully fitted Innings,
beautiful, shapeiy lines.
on course, materials must be light

ness, ,or they Will bo almost impossi-
Bile to adjust
One empire negligee. which was as
adorable bit of extravaganza as
ever a girl exceeded her allowance
for. was made of sheer linen, EN-
broidered in all-over eyelet design.
Over close-fittlng robe fell jacket.
In long, loose lines. which reached
almost to the knees-the empire In
its loveliest guise.
Everything, this time of year, Ia OF
the lingerie class, OF course. silks,
even crepe de chimes, seem somehow,
all at once, out of place, and result
ing robes and sacques of sheer white
or delicately co)ored stuffs are be-
wiIdering In their dainty variety.
For sacques, too, are built on en-
pire lines, finished with great
.'choux" right In front from which
the ribbon twists and turns away
from the nigh belt. The prettest
of them all are made over fitted Linz
ines, usually OF the same material as
| the outside.
Sleeves are short in both sacques
and long robes-and that almost
without exception--the favorite
sleeve of all being one that hangs
from the shoulder in the form OF a
deep flounce, or Of several narrower
ones, without sign OF cuff or coniin-
ing band.
That word chiffon" has attached 1t
self to any and every sort of ma.
terial this season, from the airy
diaphanous stun which first bore Its
name down to such prosiac things as
serges, and even to dignified broad
| cloths.
Wolfe has come out In chiffon
| quality, velvet and tafreta alike bow
| to its influence. and, newest of all
| handkerchief linen has come out II
a new form-sheerer. finer, loveliel
than the old--which goes by the namt
| of chiffon linen.
Embroidered buttons find a place
on some linen suits, the suit left nm
trimmed except for them.

ETIQUETTE.

In the matter of table manners
there should be a decided stand as
to the proper thing to do" under any
and all circumstances.
Etiquette demands that certain
forms Of good breeding be observed;
without their observance 1t is very
easy to descend the scale until meal
time becomes simply the time when
appetite is satisfied without any of
the really social enjoyment that
should distinguish its satisfying in
the human race from the beast.
A well-bred hostess should be on
the alert to make the proper use OF
anything new tangled in the line
Of table ware or belongings, with
which she thinks her guests may not
be entirely familiar. AT the same
time It must be noted that nothing
can betoken lack of breeding more
than to openly notice any breach,
when 1t may only concern this proper
using. There are always many new
articles and many well-bred and per-
fectly correct people may not know
A woman should wait until her
chair is placed for her; this is usual
ly done by servant, especially at a
hotel or restaurant table. In the
family 1t is right and very pretty
courtesy for the head of the family
TO place his wife's chair and see her
seated before taking his own. In
uh ha
tains, both father and sons always
stand until the ladies are seated.
The gloves, at formal dinner, are
removed, or, IL long, the hands re-
moved and tucked into the wrists un-
til dinner Is over II wine is not
wished, 1t is better to simply place
the hand over the glass without any
word when the butler stands ready
to fill 1t. and not call attention to the
matter in any way. Also, II there Is
any course that one does not care to
cat. 1t Is proper to accept It and
make slight pretense of partaking
rather than refuse and make the
hostess uncomfortable by sitting
through that course with nothing be-
fore one.
woman should try to be agree
able TO the men on either side, and
not devote time and attention to only
one man should be equally
thoughtful. 1t is never necessary to
say thank you" to waiter for table
services; should one restore drop
ped handkerchief or article OF any
kind. it is always proper to utter the
word OF thanks.

WILL PORTLAND AND SEATTLE
GAIN7

Oregon's earthquake may or may
not affect Portland's chances to profit
at the expense of San Francisco's
San Francisco will be inclined to To-
cate at Portland or Seattle on ac-
count of the earthquake. Some OF
the business men who had contem-
plated settling in San Francisco will
probably be affected In the same way.
They will go to one or the other of
these big Pacific coast ports instead.
This is the usual experience in great
catastrophes. Pestilences, fires, cy-
clones and other scourges have driv-
en- some people permanently out OF
the afflicted points, and have kept
others out who had intended to enter
But the Oregon earthquake may
operate against Portland's attractions
for the persons repealed by San
Francisco. Portland. too, is on tne
which is farther removed from the
Pacific, may or may not be in that
danger girdle. Thus far there have
been no tremors Of any consequence
felt In Seattle's vicinity, though in
the present perturbations under the
earth's crust nobody can guess where
the quake will strike next
Portland and Seattle rank next to
San Francisco in Importance among
the ports of the Pacific coast of the
United States. In 1900. when San
Francisco had 343,000 inhabitants,
Portland had 10000 and Seattle had
$4,000. Each of these towns was
growing much faster than the Califor.
MIA metropolis. While San Francis
cos population increase in the ten
years ending with 1900 was only lag
per cent, Portland's was 95 per cent
and Seattle's was 8S per cent. The
increase in each of those two cities
In the past six years has been rapid,
that in Seattle being probably the
greater. Seattle is likely to be ahead
OF Portland in population now. 1t
has better harbor and, being OH the
shorter parallels, is nearer to Japan
and China than is Portland, and is
much nearer than is San Francisco
These points will count in the. race
of those ports for supremacy on their
side of the continent San Francisco
had more inhabitants on the eve of
the earthquake than Portland and
Seattle combined, but the margin be-
tween each OF those towns and Cali
fornia's big city is rapidly narrow
ing. The city at the Golden Gate
will, few years hence, be bigger and
better than 1t was when the earth
quake struck 1t, but that calamity is
bound to give new impulse to the
growth of the great town on Puget

SIMPLE FACTS.

Just short list OF very simple
facts for the housewife to remember:
When the water bottles are stain
ed, clean them with raw potatoes,
peeled and cut fine, in a little water;
or put tablespoonful of salt in each.
pour little vinegar and let them
stand an hour or two rince well and
they will be clear and bright.
To keep insects from blankets and
bedding saturate some brown paper
with turpentine and put it among
them; the pests will not come again.
Always wipe the glass chmneys of
kerosene lamps quite dry with soft
paper: the least dampness will crack
the glass the moment the lamp is
lighted.
Keep all scraps of the coarse
butchers" paper; when frying frit-
ters, crullers and the like, put a sheet
on a pie plate and set In the mouth
OF the oven to lay the fried things
on; 1t absorbs the grease that may
be left.
When ready to turn out boiled
pudding, set the mold in nan of
cold water a moment; the pudding
VIII slip out easily without breaking.
Dip your wet dish cloth in salt to
remove tea stains from cups or mugs.
A bonbon dish is of cut glass, but
the handle rises from the center in
place of the side, or sides, and is ex-
actiy the shape of a big question
mark This is quite novelty, and
should make attractive wedding pres
ents.
The woman who makes delicious
sandwiches will be glad to find an
olive pitter. 1t has a strong spiral
spring, with circular knife below
which makes clean cut directly
through the olive. taking out the
stone neatly and perfectly. Along
with this is a cabbage corer. also a
great convenience.

There is much consolation In know
ing that in week or two the Den
yer election will take place and then,
maybe, the Denver papers will have
something in their columns besides
Patterson. Evans, Moffat and general

voters should declare against each

ton. On the surface we say vote
everything down.
