BUTTONS A FEATURE
New Modes Show Them Used in A.
most Every Conceivable Form
Mushroom the Latest Fancy.

Buttons are certainly a feature of
sleeve trimmings and they are used
SO conspicuously upon the new models
as to be considered an advance au-
tumn mode. They are not only placed
upon the sleeve, but in every conceiv-
able place upon a gown. Many are
the cabochon shape made of soutache,
braided round and round like tiny bee
hives. The very latest fancy in the
way of buttons, however, is the mush-
room, which stands up about an inch
in height, like a veritable miniature
mushroom. 1t is made of molds cover
ed with fancy braid and quite hand
some decoration can be worked out
simply with these mushroom buttons
and little braid passementerie.
Another costume in plain, satin-fin-
ished cloth is striking in the new
shade of purple. This color in all its
shades is one of the leaders in popu-
larity for fall and will be greatly in
evidence as lavender, heliotrope, lilac,
plastique, amethyst, etc, the lighter
shades being used FOR street as well
as home frocks.
The dress in question is trimmed
with long narrow pieces of plaid panne
velvet, set into the goods. so that the
cloth forms heading and is stitched
down closely over the velvet These
appliques, however. appear above a
four-inch hem and constitute the prin-
cipal trim ming for the skirt. The long
semi-ftting coat is stitched with scroll
shaped pieces of panne and the front
fastens with loops of purple silk braid
The full. loose sleeves have the arm
holes outlined with bias folds of
panne.

TO PAPER A PAINTED WALL.
Homemade Solution Will Complete ,
Remove the Paint.

Occasionally a housekeeper wants
to paper a room that has previously
had the walls painted.
This is not easily done, nor one that
is by any means cheap, if men must
be hired by the day or hour to do it.
Any enterprising woman who is will
ing to take the time and trouble can
get the paint off herself.
Mix in a bucket of hot water enough
potash to make a strong solution, and
scrub the walls with a stiff brush dip
ped in It, Wash off in cold water and
finish with dry flannel.
If the paint is very old it should be
covered with a wash of three parts
quicklime slaked in water to which
has been added one part of potash. AL
low this coating to remain on over
night and the paint may be easily
scraped off.

COMBINATION SUITS
Arrangement of Lingerie That in
Many Ways Is the Best That
Has Yet Beer Devised.

Combination suits of lingerie are as
much liked by girls as by women
whose figures require this arrange
ment Of material around the waist
and hips. The two piece garment has
been practically succeeded by the
smart French conceit which gives one
the minimum of folds and creases un-
der princess frock or a blouse and
skirt set together with insertion. The
combination made on princess lines
with cores running from top to bot
tom is the favorite, and even in the
shops where these are sold ready to
wear the price is more than for more
elaborately trimmed ones made with
skirt and chemise sewn together.
The princess combination is the es-
sence of simplicity. 1t buttons in the
back and is SO well cut and fitted that
very little alteration is required for
the average figure. The five or seven
lengthwise sections are broader at
the top and slope at the waist line,
where the extra fulness is disposed of
in horizontal dart. Then the section
continues on down, widening to form
either short petticoat or drawers. A
narrow seam beading holds the sec
tions together, and the hem may be
finished in any desirable way, the end
being to arrive at an undergarment
which provides perfect comfort and
fit.
Other combinations are made with
very dainty corset cover, which
forms point in front to give the
length required, and full circular pet
ticoat, either divided or all in one
piece, These petticoat parts are ex-
quisitely trimmed with two rows of
wide bands Of valenciennes and a frill
to match.
Many young girls like to make their
own lingerie, or at least some of it,
and after they find a combination
which suits them they have the maid
cut pattern from it, and then they
never have to bother about having
/ The suit fitted. French embroidery
and eyelet work are the favorite trim
, mlngs when fine needlework is de
sired, and this launders better, as a
rule, than lace. If lace it put on it
should be whipped to the linen or
nainsook after each edge has been
carefully rolled.

IN THE LUNCH BASKET.
Care in Preparation Of Contents Is
Well Worth While.

II the child goes to school so far
from home that basket lunch is nec-
essary no less care should be taken
in preparing this makeshift for meal.
1t should be put up daintily, the vari-
GUS kinds Of food being neatly wrap
ped in oiled paper. To send child to
school with lunch composed of any
old thing" arranged in a haphazal d
manner is to invite all kinds of ills
to take possession of the little stom-
ach.
The first thing, of course, is to be
sure that the lunchbox or basket is alb
solutely clean. Then cut several pieces
of oiled paper. In one you may put a
number of small sandwiches. Thinly
sliced whole-wheat bread, with some
sensible filling makes the best sand
wiches, but there should be enough of
them to assauge the cravings Of
hunger
In another packet place some tasty
sweet. Avoid pie assiduously, but any
cake that is not too rich and that
has only a plain icing will answer the
purpose nicely. Fruit, too, should be
added, with some crisp cookies or
ginger waters, but do not be tempted
to insert any candy unless you chance
to have a supply of absolutely pure
maple sugar.

Grecian Rairdressino.

For some time there has been :
Greclan tendency noticeable in the
dressing of some smart women's hair.
The hair is drawn back softly from
the forehead and fastened in the back
Wen below the crown of the head.
Here Grecian knot with softly fall
ing curls completes the coiffure
AT recent dinner one head boasted
real Grecian iillet of slender gold
The hair was golden, softly waved
and drawn down to the back OF the
mead. A really new touch was given
in a butterfly of diamonds, which or
namented the fillet at one SIDE at the
back.
II was most effective and certainly
had the v.rtne Of novelty.

fumes could not overlook the real use
fulness of cologne or some good toilet

who reveled in aromatic baths, knew,
better than many moderns, the re
freshment to tired nerves to be found

THE NEW GIRDLES
Garments Demand Care in Their Sc
lection and Proper Attention
to the Fit.

The rule of colors applies equally
well to girdles. Every woman may at
tempt girdle if she but know which
one Is possible to her figure and then
see that 1t is carefully boned and
fitted. The secret of trim figure lies
principally in studying the waist lines
and correctly lengthening or shorten
ing the space between the bust and
the hips. Tall women take kindly to
the draped girdles which terminate in
a modified point just below the bust
in front. slope slightly beneath the
arm size and curve upward toward the
middle of the back. These are the
most difficult of all girdles to under
take, as everything depends upon their
fit and the ability to determine pre-
cisely how much draping they re-
quire.
A narrow girdle that is exceedingly
pretty with the fichu draped waists
has rounded points back and front and
slopes very slightly beneath the arms
ihaped. undraped girdles that disap-
Iear beneath the waist trimmings may
be made to lend almost princesse eff
feet to a gown, and these are greatly
liked with the long, smoothly fitting
sheathlike skirts now being made up
in velvet, mohair and other fashion
able fabrics for autumn and early win
ter wear.

Nut Brown Bread,

Recently a recipe was given me for
a most delicious and easily prepared
brown bread. Mix together three
quarters cup each of white -four and
graham with one teaspoon of baking
powder and one-eighth of teaspoon
of salt. Then add one-quarter cup
each of molasses and chopped English
walnut meats. Mix to a batter with
milk-it will require about three-quar.
ters of a cup-and bake in a moderate
oven. The nut meats add an indie
scribable richness of flavor.-Good

TEDDY BEAR PARTY
Description Of Entertainment That
Greatly Pleased a Number Of
Small Children.

In spite of the protestations against
the TEDDY" bears, they seem to be
just as popular as ever. At party
for small children between the ages of
six and ten that was given recently,
the girls were asked to bring their
dolls and the boys their Teddy bears.
And such a merry crowd. All the
dolls had on their best bibs and tuck
ers and the bears were adorned by
huge neck ribbons, and In some in
stances were dressed IN funny little
coats and trousers.
1t was only the other day that | dis
covered some funny diminutive gar
ments at a shop and exclaimed
What cute pajamas for dollies,
when the salesman said. Madam,
those are clothes for Teddy bears"
| thought to myself, Madame Merri
you'll have to get UP much earlier in
the morning if you are going to keep
up with this generation of children. -
Well, to go back to the party. The
children played house" come tC
see" and store" The hostess was
wise in asking two young misses
about l5 to assist at this affair, their
childhood not being so very far back
in the dim, distant past; they were
"up" on childish games and entered
enthusiastically into make believe"
and lust pretending" The refresh
ments were served at small tables,
there was a chair for each dolly and
bear, much to the delight of the re,
spective owners. Tiny round moulds
of jelied chicken were served with
round sandwiches cut out with the
cover of a baking powder box. There
were salted nuts and vanilla ice cream
with hot chocolate sauce and delicious
sunshine cakes ornamented with
blanched almonds and cherries.
The souvenirs were candy boxes In
shape of various fruits filled with
sugar peppermints.
The dolls and bears had small bask-
cts filled with opera sticks and each
had a quaint cap of tissue paper The
folded Japanese napkins were used.

Each season brings forth something
new in seude articles. either gloves,
shoes. belts or handbags. Just now the
belts attract considerable attention,
for they are deserving of it. since they
are neatly made, not too wide. and are
finished with beautiful oval buckles,
rather tiashy, it is true, yet nicely
adapted for shirtwaist costume. The
colors are numerous, so one has no diff
fioulty in selecting a shade TO match
exactly or harmonic nicely with the

In purchasing a rock crusher,
which will require a considerable
amount of money, it will be we'll for
the city council to require a strict
guarantee that the machine will do
the work it is represented to do, and
that it will have the proper wearing
qualities. There are many grades of
crushers on the market, selling at
widely varying prices, and as none of
the city officers are machinery experts,
the interests of the people can be safe
guarded only by requiring a strict
guarantee of efficiency and lasting
quality. If this is done, no loss can
result The council owes this duty to
the taxpayers, and as the members
are all practical business men, it is
only fair to assume that proper pre-
caution will be exercised in the draw
ing of the contract for the purchase of
the machine.

Well, let him getin and rustic for them

ought not to find the job difficult one,
since Ben Jones took half of the work
off his hands at the last session Of the
Legislature. Here, also, is a chance
for Br'er Hawley to rise and shine. It
will be remembered that Hawley
worked against the Jones bill, giving
as his reason that he wanted to get the
entire appropriation from Congress,
but Jones evidently considered the job
a little too hefty for raw Congress-

with him. 1t is now up to the Oregon

DALLAS POINTS THE WAY.

1t has remained for Dallas to leaC
the way in the work Of permanent roaC
improvement in Polk county. With
the spirit Of progressiveness that has
developed the town from a crossroads
village to a thriving manufacturing
and Industrial center in the space OF q
few brief years, the latest move in the
direction Of greater progress is the pur-
chase OF a rock crusher, to be used in
building streets that will withstand the
constantly increasing traffic. The
action of the council is Of immeasur-
able Importance, as good streets are all
that is lacking to make Dallas a
strictly modern city in every respect.
All the other conveniences we have
lights, water, sewerage, modern fire
apparatus, good sidewalks, and sub
stantial public buildings. Now, with
clean macadam streets, Dallas will cas-
lily take first rank among the beautiful
and attractive towns of the Willamette
Valley. And after our streets are
improved, may it not be that we will
lend helping hand to our farmer
friends in building good roads into
Dallas from every direction? In con-
sideration of the loyalty Of these neigh
bors in wading through bottomless
roads all these years to trade with our
merchants, and in view of the greatly
increased business that good roads
would bring, Dallas can we'll afford
to aid these farmers in building per-
manent thoroughfares by placing her
road machinery at their disposal, or
by selling rock to the county at fig
ure SO low as to place the further use
Of worth less gravel out of the question.
