ebb according as his teachings are

like the Christmas tree festivities. is
always strictly family affair.

New York, Dec. 22-Now that the
winter season is fairly on and the wild
whirl of Christmas holiday festivities
looms close at hand, the problem of
evening frOcks is absorbing much FEM
mime attention, and the dressmakers'
workrooms are piled high with deli
cate silk mousselines, chiffcns, gauzes,
laces, nets, and with velvets and satins
all delicate in color if more substantial
in texture.
The variety in such materials Is pos
itive!y bewildering: and though on
every side there is IA temptation to
extravaganza, the planning of an even
ing frock which will be inexpensive
and practical as we'll as attractive
Is this season, a simpler matter than
usual.
For the young girl, there Is, of
course, no evening frock so charming
as the silken sheer stuff, and the fash
ionable debutante Is going in more
strongly than ever for chiffon and
mousseline and tulle, etc.; but she
will dance through miles of this SHIN
mering, vaporous stuff before the
season ends, and her evening frcck
expenses will be far in excess of those
of her mother or her older sister, who
go clad in clinging satin and velvets.
Some of the host of soft cleaning
silks, the always popular crepe or a
genuine liberty satin will prove a
wise choice, the last named wearing
far better than the lighter satin finish
silks, which are newer and more defin-
itely modish. There are many novel,
ties among these practical stufts, and
for the loveliest of these novelties
high prices are asked.
Crepes, too, have in many cases
taken on satiny surface, though the
old reliable crepe de Chine in good
quality is as good as ever. Chiffon
crepe having the crepe waves with
the extreme ightness of weight are
made, but are hardly to be recon-
mended. for they are not so beautiful
as some of the other stuffs of equal
body and yet they have not the prac-
teal virtues of the heavier crepes.
| Powered and brocaded materials OF
SURPRISING beauty are displayed at all
the counters devoted to the evening
frock materials. But after all, it is
the one-tone material which is the
favorite for evening wear, though the
subtle color harmonies may enter into
the trimming scheme or may be eff
fected by making up transparent
over several layers of chiffon in graded
shades of one color. This last idea
is much like the Partisan dressmakers,
but demands skilfull treatment and
unerring color sense.
One tone material in which contrast
in texture and finish gives variety
are the striped stuffs which have
found instant favor-striped satin and

case had the grain been carried for
ward to market with a fair degree of
expedition, the situation is unfavor-
able only by comparison with what
might have been" and not by COM
parison with former years.
Bank deposits in many sections of
the five states considered are at re-
cord figures. Demand for money in
most sections seems to be of excep-
tionally large proportions, but several
of the bankers writing take pains to
emphasize the fact that the demand is
the natural outcome of almost un-
precedented prosperity and business
activity.

During the past week Judge Nc

Yes" replied the Judge.
Il want to see you at your office at

Gould YOU not wait till morning?"
NO sir; this matter must be at

"All right; l will he at my office
in fifteen minutes"
Where is your office?"
1T is over Stanchfields store. Do
YOU know where that is?"
/. NO, l do not"
We'll, that is strange. Now will tell
you: Stanchfields is the leading cloth
Ter Of the city and is selling goods at

crates the front of the building on the
corner of Third street and Demers

and the lady was waiting.

and was obliged to return on account
of the storm. After supper he went
down town and went to unpack the
telescope, and here are the contents.

The judge opened the telescope and
out came lady's corset, night dress,
pair of lady's hose and a pair of
lady's slippers.

She gave the name.

After apologizing to Mclaughlin the
lady started away, but she had gone

called her back, she having left her
muff on the table.
There will be no divorce action.

Sets Cases.

Judge Watts set number of cases
for trial at the next meeting of the
grand jury which will re-convene in
Crookston on January z. The cases
are set for every day between Jan
uary and January 16. The first
case which will be taken up is that
of H. l.. Gaylord against the Great
Northern railway company over the
shipments of some grain.

chiffOns. satin and crepe, satin ami
gauze. crepe and chiffon, etc. These
materials are to be had in all the even
ing tints, and are considered extreme
ly chic. One sees, too. the Peking
stripes (white and black or white and
color) in all these combinations, but
save for trimming the Picking stripes
have not won on this side of the water
the success which was predicted for
them, and even the Parisians have laid
them aside in favor of one-tone stripes.
ColOred mesh wells to match the hat
or gown have quite gone out, so that
again we have the black veil in all its
glory in innumerable cobweb designs
adorned with chenille and velvet dots
Of all possible-and many impossible
sizes. The only colored wells which
have survived are the brown single
thread mesh with tiny velvet dot
on every cross thread. These brown
wells are always worn with brown,
with most shades of red, with the ma
jority of ldght colored felt and velvet
shades, and with few of the darkest
shades IL the brown Is especially be-
coming.
Irish lace trims many of the new
white lynx sets. On the muff the lace
is most attractive, but 1t is not seen
on many of the round boas. White
lynx gives an amazing amount Of wear
If we'll taken care of and cleaned reg
ularly before it becomes too soiled,
SO that 1t is no more expensive than
any other sort of fur. The majority
of collars are worn quite long this
year, especially the wide ones, for
nothing SO cuts the figure as a short,
wide fur collar The deep V-shaped
stole with narrow ends in front are
smart, and then in lynx are seen many
new shapes, among them the stole
shaped in black much like square
sailor collar which gives breadth across
the shoulders without falling down.
over the arms and thus cutting off
from the length of the waist.
There is new lace whose pattern
is worked in gold yellow thread and
which is being substituted for the
cream or white lace with metallic
gold threads in many cases. The new
lace gives much the same effect as
that into which gold thread is intro
duced,and, of course, has the advan-
tage of being free from the furnishing
which is the distressing feature of
all metallic trimming. Upon some COL
ors, however, only the metallic gold
will give the best results, and this IS
true of almost all of the yellows, al
though the yellow thread looks we'll
upon yellow of exactly the same
shade seen in the lace.

A Lakota correspondent writes that
your readers may be interested in
this prognostication: That the pres
ent winter is going to be the hardest
one for the past twenty years, there
is an abundance of signs to show, and
among them it may be mentioned
that: The corn husks are foot and
half thick, and all the stalks lean
to the west. The geese, ducks and
chickens are growing coat of fur
under their feathers, and are rubbing
borax on their feet to harden them
up. All the one-eyed owls are leaving
