The local land office is flooded
with letters inquiries concerning the
opening of the Occur d'Alene Indian
reservation. Today the local depart
ment sent out over 400 replies
through the mail, which Ashley states
Is nothing uncommon. These letters
come from every state In the union,
British Columbia and Canada. Many
are from cities but more usually
little towns and villages are repre-
sented. The individuals making the
inquiries represent usually the middle
class: however, many plead poverty
and endeavor to make friends with the
local land department by enlistinR
sympathy. For example, ga man who
had just landed in Spokane, coming
from an extreme eastern point, clos
es long letter by saying: 81 have
nothing in this world except wife
and seven children and must have a
home for them at once. !"

writers are women, and while the
men often tell their ages, In not
single instance hasa woman been so
indiscreet. They tell nearly every
thing else about themselves and their
homes aud make every conceivable
inquiry about the lands, but not one
has told her age In one instance,
several women united in writing q
letter TO the land office. After relat.
ing many home conditions and maxi
ing numerous Inquiries, the letter
closed with the significant words,

cHEMIsETTE is HERE TO STAY.
Garment Much Too Pretty to Be
Lightly Cast Aside.

Chemisettes are much too lovely to
become passe in a hurry.
Some of them are exquisite bits of
hand work in the shape of embroid-
cred motifs and seams rolled to meet
the edges of lace insertions, with both,
perhaps, set off by delicate framing
of baby briar stitching. And, in bold
contradiction, there are prim, mannish
ones of linen and pique, tucked or
trimmed with bit of sturdy embroid-
cry.
The prettiest of all are put together
in involved fashion. Perhaps bit Of
cobwebby linen makes one, divided
and crossed by tiny bands of veining.
Lace and embroidery strips whipped
together make up another-the en-
broidery sometimes light, sometimes
heavy, or used in alternate strips, like
the combinations of heavy and light
laces brought out last winter.
Irish lace makes some stunning
chemisettes, either crocheted in the
right shape, or made up of three or
four wide strips, caught together, with
another strip used for collar.
Broderie Anglaise, done on handker-
chief linen, wears splendidly and is
exquisite, as the woman who handles
needle easily should remember.
Sprays of fine vines, interrupted at ir-
regular intervals by eyelets, is the
prettiest way of applying it; too
studied a design spells it.
A new French trick is the adding Of
tiny Pompadour balls to both lace and
embroidery. Valenciennes lace, in a
| design of dots, has every dot made
conspicuous by the addition of ball,
done, in some mysterious way, with
embroidery cotton. The flowers in
the embroidery have such wee ball
directly in the center
Another French trick is the use Of
Swiss embroidery-edg not inser-
tion-and the laying of two pieces to-
gether over a bit of lace insertion,
making it look like tiny vest.

FABRICS FOR THE SPRING.
Striped and Figured Silks Are Stylish
Materials.

Advance spring fashions shown at
this time of the year may not decide
definitely the styles that are to prevail
two months from now, but they are at
any rate fairly sure forecast OF what
is to come. Especially is this so in
materials, for while from month to
month there are always some slight
changes made in the width of the
sleeve, the height of the girdle or
some minor detail the material can
with safety be counted upon to re-
main in vogue throughout at least one
season and will not go wholly out in
side of a year.
Already the new silks and veilings
are being shown, and the majority OF
these are so attractive in both pattern
and coloring that there is every reason
to expect a season noted for its ERECT
i've costumes. Foulard, from all Ires-
ent indications, will be extremely
smart this year, although it has been
rather out of favor for some time. so
many of the newest models call for
material that is rather soft and cling
ing and easily draped that stiff silks
will be in nearly as great demand as
was the case last year. Foulard is
only appropriate for a rather severe
style of dress-that is, one rarely uses
foulard in reception or luncheon cos
tune. For a rough and ready shirt
waist dress this goods is excellent, as
even the less expensive quality wears
admirably and the silk is generally de-
lightfully light and cool.
AS yet there have been compare
lively few models made up in either
rajah or pongee, but of course there
is nothing new about this material, SO
it will not be displayed until later on,
although there is no reason to sup
pose that both mixtures will not re
ceive their full share of popularity In
the spring and early summer
Voiles and veilings are already be-
ing made up for the south, and this is
a fairly good sign that they are des-
tined to be fashionable for another sea
son. There are few plain voiles; all
have stripes, checks or figures of some
sort. For a coat and skirt costume
voile is delightfully."- light and COOL
and. besides, makes a smart-looklng
costume. Wolfe must always be made
I'D over silk, and therefore is not SO
good for a morning dress as foulard
or real silk.

A Dainty Party Frock.

For the little girls party frocks the
best makers are displaying delightful
" fine and sheer linens and cotton
goods. That they are all of the wash
able variety goes without saying, for
in the modern nursery anything that
cannot be cleansed by soap and water
is not acceptable. The charming little
frock that is pictured herewith is in a
fine Irish handkerchief linen, although
a good India linen or a fine Persian
lawn would develop it fully as well.
The long-waisted French blouse style
is adhered to, bringing the waistline
down to somewhere in the region OF
the hips, and ceinture of twisted
satin ribbon conceals the seam where
the full skirt is set on. Bandings and
frillings of convent embroidery are
used with excellent results. The neck
is cut down slightly in square open
ing. the short sleeve has its frill bare
ly covering the elbow, and the fasten-
ing is effected invisibly in the center
back.

CLEANING Lace Wells.

Chantilly lace wells, which are so
much used as millinery trimmings
nowadays, may be cleaned satisfac-
torily by means of ordinary soap and
water if they are soaked well before
they are washed. This is necessary
in order to extract the dust and
smoke, and if they are very much
soiled they should be allowed to soak
for as long as "a hours. Before doing
this the veil should be rubbed all over
with soap and then laid in basin
with sufficient water to cover it. After
it has soaked for the allotted time it
should be rinsed in fresh soapsuds and
then dipped in weak starch. The lace
should then be gently pulled into
shape, rolled in cloth till almost dry,
and then ironed with warm but not
hot iron.

very stiff and sore. AS he watched
some one parted the door of the tent
and let in broad pathway of blazing
white sunbeams from outside.
Denis heard a clear, decided voice
say, softly:
"One moment, Dale, | want to see
how the boy u.s." and then a shadow
fell across the strip of sunlight on
the bed, and tall man stood beside It,
A strange, bewildered recollection
came back to Denis and a certain mill
tary tournament, years ago, and a
great commander for whose sake the
audience had risen to its feet and
cheered, and a little brown-faced boy
who had said, eagerly: 'My goodness!
I'd like to shake hands with him;
only, of course, he wouldn't shake
hands with a little chap like me-"
Getting on, my boy?" clear, de-
cided voice said in curiously softened
tone. ''This is the first time you have
known me-"
II knew you-long agO-sir," he
whispered, when [ was-a little chap
Il wanted to shake hands-with you
-I-never thought should
His eyes closed. The great general
looked at him closely. He fancied the
boy was wandering, and beckoned to
the doctor who had entered the tent
quietly.
How is he?" the general asked. Il
thought at first he was better, but he
seems to be wandering. We can't af-
ford to lose him."
Il hope we shan't do that, sir" the
doctor said, cheerily. Hes had a
hard fight, and so have we, for his
life; but ne and we have won. He'll
do now"
And the next morning, when the
general again entered the tent, Denis
brown eye met his in full recognition,
and a flush crept over the boys face
as again the strong mans hand
grasped his.
"Ah! you really know me this time,
my boy" the great man said, gently
you've got to get well quickly now.
We want men like YOU"
1--WE want men like you" The
words brought flush to Denis face
once more, rang in his ears day and
night afterwards, echoed and reechoed
in his brain when, a few weeks later
he was invaded home to recruit his
strength.
"He seemed to mean it, too, moth
err" he said, simply. mot that I did
anything, you know; but he was jolly
good to me, and tell you, I never
was so surprised at anything in my
life as l was when l looked up and
saw him by my bed. Shaking hands
with me, too, as if l had done some
thing!"
Perhaps his mother viewed the mat
ter differently. Mothers do some
times! Perhaps her pride in him was
iustified-for there came a day when
he laid in her lap the small bronze
cross which Her Majesty gave to her
soldiers "for valor,' a day when his
mother knew that others beside her
self recognized as a hero her little
brown boy"

When Fittino chiId's Skirt,

To get a child's skirt perfectly even
at the bottom let the child kneel on
the table, then turn the skirt up and
pin; or mark the exact length with a
piece of tailor's chalk. Another way
which will be found to simplify the
dreaded ordeal of hanging skirt, but
which should not be depended on as
final, is 70 haste the waist band of a
finished skirt aud that of the one be-
ing made together and hang the skirt

easy to make any little alteration that
may be found necessary.

together it is problem to get the
chaff into them through the opening at
the sides. I managed mine in the fol-
lowing way, explains a correspondent
of Bee Culture: First, nail narrow
strip of wood over the opening on one
side. Then, with little trough made
to fit the mouth of the cover, proceed
to sift in the chaff; and as it chokes
in the narrow opening press it through
with a thin board, A, about 24x6x7s

trough along and fill the other parti-
ton. Nail strip of wood over the
