QUEER FAD IN JEWELRY.
Ornaments Are Made to Initiate Wom-
ems Pet Aversions.


A spirit OF daring has infected the
modern woman. She still shrinks
from a caterpillar or an earwig. but
her jewelry must be made to initiate
them, though they are among her
deadliest foes. The most up-to-date
brooch is such a clever replica of a
moth that careful housewife might
be excused for peppering her furs and
hannels. Lace pins. which used to be
set with pearls and diamonds. are now
decorated with a fearsome wasp or .
gigantic daddy long legs.
Creepy" sets are offered by some
West end jewelers.. They comprise a
spiders web necklet made of ine
gold wire in the center of which a
hungry spider waits for the fly hever-
ing ON the outskirts. A spider brooch
and a fly bangle complete the set.
Caterpillar" hatpins are effective
IN a hat trimmed with flowers and
foliage, but the spirit Of daring has
been best exempliaed In the cock
roach" safety pin. The cockroach
ranks as the "creepiest" in woman's
category of insects, and the jeweled
representation is SO accurate that
even its owner Is calculated to ~ais-
take her latest purchase for the orig
tnel and scream.

OF course, the metal which needs

soft cloth. In case the silver is tarn-

HOW TO CHAT WELL.
Subject 10 Well Worthy Of Importan.
Confederation.

How comparatively few there are
who can chat well. who can practice
the art pleasantly. easily and enter
teiningly.
Chatting is not conversational IL
not mere talking, 1t is not speaking
to person on any special subject, II
is not talking with a purpose, and YET
1t is not purpose.ess.
1t is simply acquiring the art Of
touching lightly on a variety of every
day topics.
There must be an element Of the
unexpected in chatting, slight uncer
tainty as to what will come next
and not firm conviction that be
fore the speaker quits there will be a
dissertation on health or a special
hobby.
Those who would chat well must
have sense of proportion; they must
learn not to spend too much time
over a mass of details that are really
unimportant, and yet they must moi
ignore those details, however small
which serve to give realistic touches.
The essence Of chatting, the most
delightful form of conversation. is to
pass lightly and naturally from one
subject to another.

New French Shoe.

Fashionable Paris wears new
shoe. French shoes are not adven.
lures for American feet to rush rash
IL into, and these new ones least OF
all.
They are very long-three or four
sizes longer than the size Of the foot

square toe.
Except that they have heels. they
are like nothing so much as the old
fashioned straight. long, shapeless
shoes ladies' in this country wore sew
eral generations ago, before we had
learned to make shoes to fit our feet.
Paris may know all about hats. but

ers that neither she nor England
knows very much about shoes--at
least the kind Of shoes American feet
demand.

How to Launder Curtains.

Carefully fold each curtain Into a
small square and keep 1t folded until
ready to pin down on sheet. Spread
on carpeted floor. Do not use frames
for old curtains. Put to soak in luke
warm water, using good soap, and
pressing them down under the water
with the hands,. Change water every
ten or Is minutes or as often as 1t
becomes dirty, being careful not to
rub or wiring but squeeze the water
out, and when clean rinse in two wat
ers. II the curtains are white put
little bluing into the last water. Then
starch and pin down. If you have
several pairs to do up, divide your
starch into two or more dishes, so the
Curtains will be equally stiff.

EUCALYPTUS GROVE
WILL BE PLANTED
SANTA FE OFFICIALS AND 9TH
ERs FORM CORPORATION
Plan Is to Make San Diego County
Ranch the Biggest Thing of
Its Kind in the
Country

A 219-acre ranch near Carlsbad, Saa
Diego county, was purchased Thursday
by the Eucalyptus Plantation company, a
recently formed organization, which will
file articles of incorporation within the
next few days, and work will commence
Immediately on the plowing up of tho
ground preparatory to the planting of the
eucalyptus trees.
The company, which will be capitalized
at 100000 and will number among it's
directors and stockholders some of the
most prominent officials of the Santa Fe
railroad as well as w. B. Magee and F..
T. Hosp the we'll known gardener of
Oceanside, proposes to conduct the plant
ing of the trees in most systematic
manner, similar to the methods employed
on the San Dieguito ranch, which is also
set out to hundreds of these trees. A GER
tain number of trees will be set out each
year, as more property is to be purchased
ir the near future and the ranch will ultt-
mately be one of the biggest of its kind
in the entire country.
The organizing of this company shows
the amount of interest that is being
taken in this new industry. The great
scarcity of suitable timber for railroad
ties and fence posts has served to attract
attention to- the possibilities of the euca-
lyptus tree. The tree makes the finest
kind of railroad ties and can also be used
for variety of purposes.
