Perfume.

A little perfume sometimes goes a
long way. If perfume is used at all it
should be of the best and used spar.
ingly. The first thought should be Of
cleanliness and desire for fresh lin.

be made and when this is sprinkled
among the articles of ones wardrobe

GRANGE. Following is simple formula
and good one: One pound Of rose
petals. one-half pound of tonka beans,
two pounds of orris root, one-fourth
pound of vanilla. two drains of musk.
fifteen grains of oil of bitter almonds.
Age improves all perfumes If they are
kept in a moderately cool atmosphere
and in a dark place. All mixtures
should stand three or four weeks in
order to blend and develop the full
odor.

Season Of Bows,

The news comes from an authorize.

to be used as fashionable details of
smart toilets. Even now these little
bits of color or black are making their

more of the form Of rosettes.

improvements that Are Planned at the
National Capital.

Two distinct movements are now un.
der way for the improvement of the
capital city of this republic. One Of
these is for the purpose of gradually
doing away with the slums and in.
sanitary conditions which are to be
found in Washington's back alleys.
While hardly more than a beginning
has been accomplished, the work of
removing dilapidated. unwholesome
shacks and novels seem at least to be
making some progress. It is to be
hoped that 1t can be pushed more
rapidly In the future.
The other scheme consists of a plan

chase outright and devote to govern
mental uses tract of some 1900, 900
square feet lying below Pennsylvania
avenue and between the capitol
grounds and the White House. It is
pointed out that many of the depart
ment buildings are overcrowded; that
the government is expanding large
Sums in rent for space in inadequate
and insecure structures, and that the
ground which 1t is desired to buy
would furnish abundant room on which
to erect stately public buildings in
architectural harmony. The execution
of this policy would undoubtedly add
signally to the impressiveness of the
capital. 1t is also asserted, apparently
with some reason, that it would be far
cheaper to buy it now than to wait
until it is imperativeV required, when
its present owners will be pretty sure
to put prices up.
In any event, congress, while it
should not sanction waste or extrava.
gance, should deal with the needs OF
Washington in spirit of judicious
liberality, says the Philadelphia Bull
letin. The historic community on the
Potomac has superb facilities for de.
velopment into q center worthy in all
respects of its political status. Mig
gardly economy regarding it's require

foolish.

States that does not carry some

think that what some little country
editor says does not amount to any,
thing, but 1t means great deal more
than most people realize. When the
country editor, who is looking after
nothing but the county printing, gives
expression to some rational idea about
national question, the man off here
in congress knows that it comes
from the grass roots. The lobby, the
big railroad lawyers and that class
of people realize the power of the
press, but they hate it. l have heard
them talk about 1t and shake their
heads and say: Too much power

than money"

that leader is. So the country editor
often exerts power of which he
