The Matinee-Jacket Girl

The matinee girl and the matinee
jacket girl need not be at all alike;
one loves to spend sentimental hours
with a stage hero, one loves to lounge
in budoir privacy and comfort.
But in summer there are days when
we are all matineeIjacket inclined,
when even the most energetic is glad
to take to comfortable loose negligee
and comfortable pillowed couch;
wherefore it is well to present little
talk on present-day styles in negligee
costume.
One may spend a small fortune on
tea-jacket and tea-gown, and one may
attain very attractive ones for only
a small outlay. Imported, handmade
lingerie affairs cost way up, are i'm
possible for the average purse; but
one may throw together oneself, if at
all capable, some filmy stuff and feel
quite content with results. There are
figured swisses that that need but
little trimming and are inexpensive
and very appropriate for summer
lounging robe and sack; there are
wash silks that are likewise inexpen-
sive and pretty mulls, lawns, handker-
chief linen-any number Of materials.
Empire styles are liked, the short
wasted girdle made of insertion and
lace like that with which the garment
is trimmed. The loose sack. loose
from short yoke down, is still in IA
vor, and the other day we saw nov
city in the way of one meant to slip
on over the head. This had a square
neck, the opening large enough to go
over the head easily, and there was
avoided the usual problem of how to

always unfastening at the most awk-
ward moment.
Of course, sleeves are all short, for
GOODNESS, and to give the dressy look
desired. Sometimes the sleeve will
be a mere ruffie, deep frill. The
lowered dimities and organizes are
preferred by some, for the reason that

rosebud patterns, are we'll suited to
these dainty negligees.

BLANKETS AND WOOLENS.
How to Cleanse Blankets the Right
Way and How to Put Away
Woolens.

Washing Blankets.-When my lit
tie neighbor washes blankets, it is
a pleasure just to sit by and watch
the pretty, soft, fluffy things blow
ing on the line. The process is so
simple that I have learned to do it
myself. Choose a warm, sunny, but
windy day. This is important, if the
best results are wished. While dry,
look over them carefully, and put a
safety pin in the center of the
spoiled spots. For one pair of blan-
kets, prepare suds with half cake
Of any good white soap, with one
tablespoonful each of borax and am
monia. The suds must be as hot as
you can bear the hand in. Let the
blankets stand in this for an hour,
and If the water is too cold, add
more hot water. Then look up the
places where the pins are, remove
these and rub between the hands
until the spots disappear. Do not rub
on the board, and do not soap on the
blanket direct; have ready a second
tub Of suds, and paddle them around
in this, squeezing and pressing be-
tween the hands; rinse in not less
than three waters of the same tenn
perature, running them through the
wringer each time. Fasten with at
least a dozen pins to the line, and
shake frequently while drying.
Storing Woolens.-This is the sea-
son for putting away wooden clothes
and furs. No moth balls or other
vile-smelling substance will be needed
If the garments are hung on the line
in the sun, whipped with a light
switch, and in the case of clothes all
the soil spots carefully cleaned. Then
tie up in clean pillow cases or, better
still, fold over the hens and run
along on the machine. A chain-stitch
machine is best for this purpose, as it
is easily ripped; but If a lock-stitch
is used, have the bottom thread loose.

Moth in Carpets.

If the moths have got into a carpe!
it must be taken up, thoroughly

Then literally sprinkle the floor where

Keep for this purpose piece Of

clean off all spots; then dust over ii
powdered blue tied IN muslin, rub i.
lightly and quickly off with the cloth
and finish by rubbing with the silk
handkerchief. Be careful not to rub
the edges of the frame.

DISASTROUS FIRE Ar OGDEN.
Business Center In Ruins-Loss Is
timated at $4,000.

The most disastrous fire in the
history of ogden and which for time
threatened the business center of the
city, broke out in the Burton lmple-
ment store Twenty third street and
Washington avenue, shortly after l
o'clock this morning. Despite the
combined efforts of the entire fire
department and hundreds of citizens,
it was not until after a. m. before
the fire was gotten under control.
When the losses we're totaled at
noon today, it was found that 1888,
$50 worth of property had gone up
in smoke, with total insurance OF
s117, 400.
The heaviest loser is the George A.
Lowe company, whose losses amount
to nearly 5000, 900, which is partially
covered by insurance.
Almost the entire east side Of
Washington avenue from Twenty
third to Twenty fourth street is il
ruins.
ALL FIRE SERVICE CALLED OUT,
AS soon as the alarm was giver
every piece of the local fire depart
ment was called into service, but tn'
flames had gained such heauway tina
they were unable to check thei
spread. From the Burton building
they quickly reached the Lowe build
ing. The south half of the Low
building was occupied as gun stor
with half carload of ammunition
stored therein. AS soon as the flame
reached this Part of the store the seen
resembled an army at battle, hun
dreds and thousands of shells explod
ing within a few minutes, causin
those who we're fighting the fire t
seek places of safety.
From time to time during tn
course of the fire the sparks ignite
across the street and other building
in the vicinity. These, however
we're quickly extinguished by th
bucket brigade.

RESOURCES.
Southern California's greatest re-
source is its climate, on which al
most everything else hinges. VI
course, there are valuable mines but
these are now a minor consideration.
The beautiful golden orange crop
is a perpetual source of wealth, which
insures permanency to the settle
ments and justifies improvements OF
substantial nature, in striking con-
trast to the mushroom growth which
attaches to the tickle mining indus
try. Then the tourist traffic, which
also hinges on the climate, is an I'M
dying source of revenue; for while
many people may visit the country
but once, there are new generations
constantly growing up who will want
to see the beauties of the locality ;
while the residences there of numer-
GUS millionaires and wealthy people
insures an assessed valuation on which
1t Is easy TO raise ample revenue for
any needed improvements.
RAPID GROWTH.
A feature worthy of notice is the
rapidity with which the country ia
developing and building. Millions
of dollars are each year being invested
in new buildings. and the population
in all the towns Is rapidly increasing,
1t is confidently expected by the resi-
dents of the locality that Los Angeles
will shortly extend until it embraces
the settlements on the coast and mos
of the suburban towns in an opposit,
direction. And judging from thu
growth of recent years it does no
appear at all impossi BILE.
The only obstacle in the way of th
development of the country is
shortage of water. Contrary to i'm
pressions which appear to prevail quit
generally, California has little IL an,
more rainfall than this country has
and without irrigation the who'll
country would be desert. Their
are now plans afoot, however, TO
greatly increasing the supply of thi
vital fluid, and when this is done
greater area of country will be brough
under cultivation. In a climat
which places value on irrigate
land of from $500 to 50, O0o per acre
feats in engineering for the procur
ing of water are justified which woul,
be insurmountable obstacles In les
favored regions. California has
great future before it.
