FANCY BUREAU SCARFS.

Written for The Star.
Cleanliness is the watchword for all
boudoir fittings, and the very latest cover
ing for the bureau top is fancy towellng,
that can be sent to the laundry and come
out looking as fresh and immaculate as
new scarf However, the patterned towel
ings, both In huckabuck and satin damask
are quite as irresistible as any elaborate
scarf could possibly be, and, in fact, many
of them show equally as fine embroderles
and lace insets.
AS an example of the latter variety,
satin damask towel splendid with duh
rosebud patternings, has either hem finished
at Its head by row of coarse linen-colored
cluny lace the latter carrying out the rose
bud idea in its design. Alencon and linen
crochet lace also adorn handsome pieces or
toweling The latter, with It's delicate,
scraggy thread traceries, is employed in an
ecru coloring an edging for the bottom
OF a rather thin quality of damask. ana
each towel is as choice a bit or linen as any
housewife could ask for
For practical hard service, the towels
having borders of close Russian drawn
work are most desirable. They are rather
plain in comparison with lace trimmed
toweling. but their simple elegance COM
mends itself more strongly to the woman
of quiet tastes, and when spread over
daintily colored sateen lining they show OH
TO remarkable advantage. The drawnwork
loose, frayed effects of the cheap variety
of towel. and. while ii resembles the lacey
appearance of the Mexican drawnwork, u
has much more body and f1rmness.
In the realm of huckabuck toweling. the
yard lengths finished with handwrought
scaIloped ends continue to hold first place
among brides linen, and when ornamented
with wide initials or a monogram, they
serve admirably te, cover polished dressing
tables. Broad monograms that extend
nearly across the end of the towel are es-
sential to all up-to,iate bridal linen, and are
a stunning ornamentation in themselves
Huckabuck toweling that is finished with
hemstitched ends not infrequently displays
a row or two of hand-embroidered discs
above the hemstitching. These are usually
the size of a nickel, and are worked in mer-
cerized cotton. Should lace insertion also
trim the towel the cotton matches the tint
of the lace.
Finest of all fancy toweling which can De
made to serve as table and bureau cover
ings are the thin damaslSs. with or without
inwoven designs of satin finish and having
at the ends ten-inch fringe OF linen
thread in the natural color. A pattern
worked in a pale shade OF coiored cotton
often adorns the head of the fringe and
lace braids In crisscross designs form an
insertion above the embroidery.

How TO Dress.

No woman is well dressed whose clothes
attract such attention that her personality
IS overshadowed. They should be as a
frame to a picture-always secondary in
Importance, The same feeling should lead
one to adapt the prevailing mode to ones
own style, age, face and figure. One writer
has wittily observed: "a woman should
no more accept a bonnet that is unbecom-
ing because 1t Is the fashion than she would
accept husband of certain type because
that is the style OF man women are marry
ing"
Neither should the same models be worn
at sixteen and at sixty. An old face never
looks so old as under youthful hat, and
age Is less emphasized by manufacturing
garments that are yet becoming which Of
ten lend a serious. sweet dignity which~is
the coauetry of age.

A GREAT RUSH
TO WHITE PINE
A New Find Near YeringtOn and Many
Claims Have Been Staked.

New strikes are constantly being made
in different parts of the state and the
latest rush is in White Pine district, at
a point a few miles from the old town
of Yerington where a big gold discovery
was made a few days ago and great ex-
excitement prevails. A dispatch says
a big rush is on and the hills are already
full Of prospectors. The new camp is
located in the Pine Nut range, Douglass
county, and covers an area six by two
miles from the original strike. At al
most any place colors can be found at
grass roots. There are about 400 peo-
ple in the new district. Every lot in
the Buckskin townsite is sold, and al
ready ten stores, three saloons and one
big boarding house are doing business.
From Wabuska to Yerington on the
railroad, is fourteen miles. Yerington
is the nearest Quitting point. To
Buckskin, in the heart Of the district,
the distance is eighteen miles.
The Red Top, commonly known as the
Kennedy strike, looks like a big thing.
Nothing like it has been discovered in
this part of the state, which is in the
region of the old Comstock mines, for
many years.
w. H. Knickerbocker, one of the
earliest miners in Goldfeld, has made a
discovery on a fraction adjoining the
Kennedy strike that pans $4,000 at grass
roots.
Hank Summers in the Woodhouse
group, has ore on top of a 4-foot ledge
that shows free coarse gold that will
run into the hundreds.
M. l.. Morris has opened up placer
ground on the fiat east of the Kennedy
strike that pans coarse gold in paying
quantities.
Pierce and son, one-half mile north of
the Red Top, have also struck pay ore.

the Montana mine, a position which he
held at the time he was taken sick.

Very Rich Ore.

Some very rich values have been en-
countered in the Jones and Higginson
lease on the Gold Wedge claim of the
Jumbo Extension company's property
during the past week. In running the
crosscut through the main ledge, which
at present shows a width of 48 feet,
several stringers varying in width from
a to 6 feet, have been cut. In one of
these stringers, which is fully A feet in
width, values as high as $500 are found
and in the center of the pay streak
there is a 6 inch vein which shows
values running into the thousands of
dollars. About Is tons that will aver
age better than 5000 to the ton have
been taken out and it is thought by the
middle of next week a consignment can
be shipped. -Goldfeld Review.

a game of baseball was played between
the printers of Tonopah and a nine COM

c. M. A. The game was called about
noon and lasted two hours. The latter
were victorious by a score of 10 to Z.
Shortly after the above game another
was called-the brokersvs the doctors.
This was watched with interest by a
large crowd. The brokers won out by a
score of 25 to 6. AS to the merits of
the players we are not informed but if
a big score shows good playing then
the brokers did play a remarkable game.

YOUNG NOBLEMAN WHOSE WIFE

LIKES THIS COUNTRY.
Publishers Pre.s.l

London, Dec. 16-The family OF
the Earl of Portsmouth have receiv-
ed direct confirmation of the report
published a month ago that the bro
ther of the Earl. Oliver Henry Wal
lop and the second heir to the Earl
dom, has become naturalized citi-
zen of the State of Wyoming. In a
letter received today Mr.. Wallop alb
solutely renounces his right of sue
cession and takes the step also on
behalf of his young son.
Wallops action has greatly grieved
his relatives here who blame his wife
who was a daughter of Judge Waller
of Chicago for the steps her husband
has taken. Wallop himself is one OF
the most prosperous ranchmen in
Wyoming.
The Earl of Portsmouth himself is
well known character in and about
Westminster. He stands over six
feet, wears his hair-a brilliant red
in color-very long, has written a
volume or two of verse. and is some
times given the sobriquet of The
Red Earl" He is withal very
menial fellow and his intrusion into
debates in the Lords is invariably re-
ceived with marked attention.
