The paradise plume is as popular
In coiffure decoration as in milli-

is more easily adjusted in the hair
than are the little ostrich tips which
rival the paradise feathers in general
popularity.
The full straight aigret is much
worn in Paris-not the fine, small
aigret for many seasons past used in
association with knots of velvet or
tulle or with jeweled ornaments, but
such big aggressive aigret as has

DRESSING JACKET DAINTINEss.

The prettiest ideas in matinees
come from Japan, though they are
adapted to western figures; for in
stance, a soft, wine-coloreG silk,
with no shoulder seams, capelike
sleeves, trimmed with four-inch
squares of black satin, embroidered
in gay-toned silks, and at the throat
touch of soft cream lace. This act

uncommon little garments such as
Partisan air alone seems to inspire.
With very little expense she always
manages to look charming, whether
In her dressing room or in her draw
ing room, and, though she does spend
a great part of the day in her "robe
de chambre," It is always such a
pretty one that I do not believe the
strictest country housekeeper who
looks neatness itself IN a blouse and
shirt waist could find 1t in her heart
to quarrel with her.

CARE OF BATH ROOM.

The bathroom should have special
attention daily, and once a week a
thorough cleaning.
The floor should be of tiles. or Of
hard wood stained or painted. OF
course there should be a rug or two.
The japanese cotton rug is pretty and
cheap.
Every morning the wash basin
should be washed clean as we'll as
the bowl in the closet. Then the
bathtub should be washed and wiped
dry.
Dust the room and put the damp
towels in place where they will
dry before being put in the hamper
Once week give the room a thor
ough cleaning. Wash the toilet ar
ticles Wash all the marble with
soap and water, and If there be any
spots that are not easily removed,
pu little sandsoap on the wash
cloth and rub the spot we'll.
Rub the bathtub with whiting,
wet with ammonia, then wash with
plenty of hot water and wipe dry.
Never use for tho bathtub sand
soap or any substance that will
scratch, unless 1t is a porcelain tub,
in which case no harm will be done.
Clean the faucets with whiting.
Take a long-handled boot-buttoner
and draw from the waste pipe the
bits of lint that lave gathered there.

rather pleasing.
Fine white chip sailors for spring
show the broad low crown worn

velvet and wings of orange or flame

Polka-dots amount to a craze and
one French silk, not content with
small black dots sprinkled over the
white ground. has a deep border of
black spots that are huge as half
dollars.
There is no sign of abatement in
wearing short sleeves. In Paris
every sleeve is short except the very
severe tailor costumes and some of
these have sleeves which just cover
the elbow.
Long hat strings Of colored or

THE SEWING CIRCLE

The revived fashion of scallopCd
edges recalls an old-time device to
keep the corner from tearing. Run

twine--around the scallops, under
the buttonholing.
In making undersklrts where a

Making A Good Record

In speaking of Alfred Blaisdell, the
present secretary of state, the Grand
Forks Times says:
In these days of grand stand spectacu-
lar officials, it is gratifying to note that
the quiet, systematic manner in. which
Mr.. Blaisdell is conducting his office is
being appreciated by the conservative
business element of the state.
He is the youngest state official ever
elected in North Dakota, but during his
incumbency he has made an excellent
public servant, retiring from the active
management of his large business inter-
ests at Minot in order to devote his time
to the duties of his office.
When asked if he could afford to
neglect his personal affairs and as to
whether the salaries paid the state off.
GERS were large enough he characteris-
tically replied that while he thought the
acceptance of a public Office certainly
did generally involve personal sacri-
fee, yet no one was compelled to make
this sacrifice and that he was satisfied.
Mr.. Blaisdell is more widely known in
the western half of the state popularly
known as the "slope"'-but if he keeps
up his record in office he will not lack
for friends in any section of the state.

Baseball,

A good crowd was out Sunday to wit
ness the ball game between Glendive
and Dickinson, which was won by the
visitors by score of to !.
The game was very interesting and,
although there were no hair-raising feat
,ures, the lovers of the sport were given
good run for their money and have no
kicks to register.
1t was easy enough to see where our
boys fell shy at critical times and by
few mlsplays and poor plays allowed
Glendive two scores and robbed them
selves OF the opportunity of making two
more counts for Dickinson, but the visit
ors got nine pretty hits while the locals
I were only able to touch out six safe ones
! from Gregg's bunch of smoking spheres,
and If there was any luck the locals had
it. Not fielding the ball to the proper
place and poor base running were two
things that helped Dickinson to lose
Sundays game.
The one pleasing feature was the lack
of kicking, which has characterized sew
eral of the games this year, and more
gentlemanly game could not be played

HOWARD DEXTER DEAD
Engineer Is Killed in the
Yards at Forsyth, Mont.

News was received here early Wednes-
day morning of the death of Engineer
Howard Dexter, who had lost his life by
being hit by the engine on No. $ at
Forsyth, Mont.
1t is not known exactly how the acci-
dent happened, but according to the
most authentic report Mr.. Dexter arrived
in Forsyth at 6:35 p. nj. Tuesday, after
making his run, and spent the evening
visiting with his friend, Fred Jenness, and
a number of the railroad boys. About
2:1o a. m. Wednesday he went to the
station to see Mr.. Jenness off on No. d,
which left at 3:o7. He went back to the
lunch room in the station for cup of
coffee and sandwich and left for his
room about 3:15. Dexter was next seen
on the track by Engineer St. Clair on
No. 5, who reversed the engine, set the
brakes and stopped the train, but not
until the man had been ground under
the engine.
When the body was taken from under
the engine it was rigid and there were
clots of dried blood on the face. This,
coupled with the fact that the body was
lying on the track 425 yards in the oppo-
site direction from his room, leads peo-
pie to believe that he was victim of
foul play, and how his body happened to
be on the track is still mystery.
MIR. Dexter was 27 years old and had
made Dickinson his home for several
years. He was recently transferred to
the district west and was considered one
of the best engineers on the road. The
news of his death was a great shock to
his mother and sisters in this city and it
cast shadow of gloom over the entire
community. He was his mothers pride
and main support, his sisters chum and
everybodys friend.
The body reached this city on No. 4
Thursday, accompanied by Engineer
Shaw. A large delegation of the B. of
L. E. and B. of L. F. members were at
the station to pay their last tribute to
their brother, and Fred Jenness, dele
gate from the above orders, accom-
panied Mrs. Dexter and daughters,
Misses Edna and Eulalia, to Saginaw,
Mich, the former home of the Dexter
family, where the funeral will be held
from the Roman Catholic church.
Besides his mother, Mrs. Margaret
Dexter, and two sisters of this city, he is
survived by four sisters and brother,
Frank Dexter, who live in Saginaw The
bereaved family have the sincere
sympathy of the entire community and
railroad fraternity.
