How to Clean SILK.

Dear Miss Lee:- Could you give mo
a recipe for washing silk. read some
thing on the subject some time ago in
The Journal, but have forgotten
Just how it was done. Gould you please
let me know7 1 -C. y.
If you refer to the dry cleaning proc
ess, as it is known, solution is made
from teacupful of soapsuds and suffi-
cient gasolene to immerse the garment
to be cleaned.
Rub any very soiled places much in
the same way as you would when wash
ing in water, then rinse in clean gaso-
lene and hang UP to dry. No ironing is
required. You do not say whether the
silk is black or colored, or Of what kind.
The Indias, Chinas and the pongees,
may all be safely washed in suds Of
warm water and CASTLE soap, then
rinsed in clear warm water, to which q
little pure borax has been added, hung
up to dry and ironed on the wrong side
with warm (not hot) iron. Silks like
peau de soie.and taffeta, which show q
shiny look from wear, can be made to
look like new by sponging with ordin-
ary bluing water, Of about the shade
used in the general wash. This is for
black silks, only, of course, and black
taffeta very much soiled, can be great.
ly improved by washing with soap and
warm water in the ordinary way, as
one would gingham OF any other cot.

the silk will take q new lease of life.

DEBUT OF INDIAN GIRL

Nearly 1000 citizens Of Lawton,
Okla, witnessed the debut of the Wichi-
ia maid, Miss Eloise Perico, the 14-year-
old daughter of Senor Perico, who was
given her debut into society at very
secluded spot in the Wichitas, half
way between Fort Sill and Medicine
Bluff. It was by far the most elabor-
ate society event ever participated in
by the Apache Indians. They were
there to the number Of 257, the full
membership Of their tribe.
Senor Perico, who is a. half brother to
old Geronimo, was the proudest Indian
present. He entered the arena early in
the evening in company with his daugh-
ter, who was the society belle of the
evening. A large campfire was kept
glowing during the dancing, and around
this the old warriors and their children
gathered.
The dancing was for the most part
the regular war dances Of olden time,
but there were few modern dances.
In these the white-faced brethren were
allowed to enter If they SO de.
sired. At the midnight hour the
Indians were entering upon their
most highly priced mode Of en-
tertainment. On r. but one occasion
are the young Apache bucks allowed tc
"spoon' the maidens they 50 much ad
mire. And this was the opportunity.
The "lovers dance was opened by
Geronimo, who. was dressed in his In
dian regalia, and the hghtness with
| which he stepped was surprising fea
ture. The bucks had gathered around
the outside of the dancing ring await
ing the decision Of the squaws. The
maidens are allowed to choose thei1
| sweethearts, but, unlike the American
girl, who may choose number Of low
ers during a "leap year dance,' thu
Apache maiden is allowed but one
choice, and he is the big man during
the entire evening. These dances come
but very seldom, and the young Indian.
make use Of the limited time.
On other occasions, when the bucl
desires to court his lady friend, he il
permitted to come to the house, but h,

HOLD UP SALOON
RObber Disconcerted by Having
a Cuspidor Hurled at
His Head.

An attempt was made to hold up the
Court saloon, 800 South State street,
at few minutes after midnight this
morning, when man with blue hand
kerchief tied over his face entered the
place, drove several persons who were
present into corner and proceeded to
take charge. He walked behind the
bar and with the butt end Of his six
shooter smashed half the keys of the
cash register The keys were SO bent
that they locked the drawer instead of
bursting it open, and before the fellow
could 60 any further with his work
one of the patrons of the place hurled
cuspldor at his head.
This seemed to disconcert him, and,
abandoning his original plan, he rushed
from behind the bar and backed
through the side door into the street.
The men who had been IN the place
at the time Of the attempted robbery
gave chase, but the robber disappeared
quickly in the darkness and has not
since been seen

MOSCOW, Sept. 9.-In the course OF

TO the general tone OF the ministerial

M. GutchkoT compared the conditions
existing In Russia with those at San

there, when looters were killed without
even the formality OF a trial. He said
the pillaging here was on a similar ba-
