informal purposes of dress, but the

CLEANING onCLoTH.

The careful housewife avoids the
use of either soap or ammonia in
the water with which her oilcloth is
cleaned. She knows that their use
will injure the material and render
the colors dull and lifeless, She also
avoids a brush unless she owns a very
soft one, and relies upon clear, clean
water and soft flannel cloths for her
cleaning work.

The kings are married men of your

Hearts,. bundle; 2, a kiss; 8,

Diamonds and hearts are good
cards so when your wish card 60 of
hearts) is surrounded by them, you
will get your wish. IL surrounded
by spades, you won't get your wish,
but If by clubs, it's doubtful.
The one whose fortune is to be told
must shuttle the cards-first making
a wish (secretly) y)-tken let some one
lcut the cards twice (faces DOWN.
Now you have piles. The fortune
teller now turns up the face side ol
each pile, telling what the top card
on each means-for instance, If OF
the first pile there is the ace or ont
of diamonds, on the second o
ihearts, and on the third 6 of spades
lit will be read thus: "You will re
ceive a letter containing an offer o
marriage from across the water"
Now proceed to read the first pile
placing face up, one after the othe
on the table. Tim read second pill
and lastly the third.
Some go through this times, 9th

YOU do expect; 9Th what you don

HOW TO WEAR SILKS EVERYDAY

embroidered, some of the latter be.
ing especially suited to elaborate
costumes for casino wear. Fine black
and white checks trimmed with plain
white silk are admirable, being af-
fected by women In second mourn
ing to a great extent. Touched with
a bit of color about the neck and
sleeves they are quite as much in
demand by women free from the OBJ
legation of donning habiliments Of
woe. Many of the black and white
checks are reminiscent of the nous
selines seen in this combination in
some of the chiffon velvets which
figured so prominently among the
luxuries of winter.
Silks in plain color come in more
delicious tints than ever, the most
sought shades being tapestry blue,
famingo pink, ophelia mauve and
the yellows from cowslip to honey.
With these are used the daintiest of
embroidered guimpes and delicate
laces of all kinds, Irish lace being a
prime favorite. 1t Is closely rivaled
by the filets, cluny and tho Vavarish
mesh laces with darned design.

FANCY HAT PINS in FAVOR

fashioned of gold and amethyst or
gold and topaz. Another odd hat pin
of that country is made from a num-
Der of Scotch pebbles inlaid in old
silver. A conspicuous detail of the
British pin is the strength and firm
ness Of the pin itself; it is veritable
stiletto.
One ingenious woman who has re-
turned from trip through various
parts of Canada, has had two souve-
Mrs which were given her during
her travels, set on hat pins. One
was a small gold dog and the other
was pin with the Canadian arms
in gold enamel. They are not as
pretty as some of the pins in the shop
windows or the jewelers. show cases,
but they are odd and interesting,
and 1t is one method of disposing,
usefully, of the souvenir.
] Some of the imitation stones or
amber or coral tops are so heavily
set as to be almost top-heavy, but
worn with the right hat they add a
very effective touch to the trimming.
A large cameo pin was made over
into a hat pin and used In hat OF
gray soft felt trimmed with slate
colored ostrich feathers and velvet
ribbon in two tones of gray. The
cameo in its delicate pink tints was
the only color on the chapeau and
I the effect was dainty and quaint, YET
| entirely up-to-date.

TEACH CHILDREN HOW TO WORK

All children should be given some
work to do, some trivial duty to per-
form regularly, and they should be
taught to do 1t willingly and with
out whimpering. Train your chill
dren to wait upon themselves, and
TO keep their toys and playthtpgs
tidy and In their proper places.
1t is a good plan to teach them to
play with one toy at a time, and
when that is tired of, to replace it
before a fresh one is taken. Then,
instead OF litter of things to be
tidied, and put away at bed time. or
when the little one has tired OF
playing, there is simply one toy that
ran be quickly cleared away,
When a child returns from a walk,
teach him to put his outdoor gar
ments neatly away In the place al
Iotted to them. This early training
will be of great use TO him as he
grows older, and help to form and
strengthen his character.

LEATHER SHOES

Don't forget, in addition to warm
ing a pair of patents before wearing,
that they should be gently kneaded

Care should be taken to have the
feet warm, too, for many such leath-
ers that are we'll heated before be-
ing placed on the feet crack after

THE LAW OF THE TRADING STAMP

One-quarter of the states of the
country adopted last year some ne'y
Legislation or amended some former
legislation in reference to trading
stamps. But the states have ap-
preached the trading stamp problem
by different methods.
New Yorw regulates the issuance
and redemption of trading stamps by
providing that the value of the
stamp in lawful money shall be
printed on the face of each and that
they shall be redeemable in mer-
chandise or money on demand. Mary
land prohibits the sale or issuance of
trading stamps except for stated
value in money. such value to be
printed on the face of each. Louis

OEs MONIES LOST TWO coon
MEN.

Last week our city lost two of her
real successful business men and de-
Vout Christian workers in the persons
OF Chas. H. Morris and Harry West
lwhite), both last week at their usual
Vocatlons, each apparently well. Both
We're successful business men well to
40. Both were active Christian work
ers and Y. M. G. A. men. Each lover
OF humanity and always aided every
good cause. The former was mur.
dered by a wretched bootlegger, who
was selling liquor contrary to law at
MIR. Morris mines, and Mr.. Morris
was trying to stop the sale and was
over to his saloon to buy him out so
he would leave the mining camp of
Enterprise, when the william slipped
up and shot him, also Mr.. johnson,
who was with him. Mr.. West died
very suddenly of heart trouble. He
was part owner of the largest furni-
ture house in our city. Our race loses
two loyal good friends, especially was
MI. Morris, the mine owner, who en-
ployed about one-half colored miners,
and all of his miners speak so we'll
of him. He died a martyr to the cause
of trying to free his employees from
the greatest evil of this age, liquor.
