She laughed. "Of course, you couldn't be ex.

than that, I'll bet you never heard of cold cream

mo, never did," he confessed. "Please tell
me what it is for"
"You don't deserve to know after making such

vaguely. "Why aren't there any,"
Because, silly, Pm too good looking to need
them"

see any cologne, either"
"Of course you don't. Cologne is a senseless
extravaganza. Besides, there may be somebody
who does not care for the particular kind you
use, and any number of people to whom the odor
of cologne is really sickening"
'You do seem to be wise about some things -
he conceded. "But l must say that when it
comes to a question of economy women very sell
dom are wise"
"And neither are men," she retorted. "Why
don't you cut out smokingH just think how much
money you could save"
False economy" he replied, pompously. "a
good cigar is very soothing after hard days

'Well, that's so, tOo," the foorwalker was

"And it really is a sacrifice to girl to deny

herself five cents worth of chocolates just as a
man buys himself drink"

foorwalker, thoughtfully. Let's see what else
is in the book One hatpin, nineteen cents; one

LENTEN SERMONS

fN0 NE gains courage by showing herself
~ poor; in that manner robs poverty
PSggNH of its sharpest sting.
Be not disturbed about the future,
for if you ever come to it, you will have the
same reason for your guide which preserves you
at present
Always think twice before you speak once, and
remember, word of sander may do your
neighbor irreparable injury.
The time many people give to worry over the
depravity of the world might be given to self
analysis and meditation.
The friends that wealth makes are as the quick
sands, but the friends of poverty like the
fixed stars in heaven.
The world admires those who speak to it of
virtue eloquently, but those who know how to
practice it with courage and perseverance deserve
greater praise.
One secret act of self-denial one sacrifice Of
inclination to duty, is worth all the mere good
thoughts, warm feelings. passionate prayers, in
which some people indulge themselves.
1 hold not with the pessimist that all things
are i'll, nor with the optimist that all things are
well. All things are not ILL., and all things are
not well, but all things shall be well, because this
is Gods world.
Some of your griefs you have cured,
And the sharpest you still have survived,
But what torments of pain you endured
From evils that never arrived.
The habit of blaming Others when things go
wrong is an insidious and dangerous one Far
more is it TO the purpose to inquire within
whether the fault, or much of it, may not lie at
home.
Live not for selfish aims. Live to shed Joy
on Others. Thus best shall your own happiness
be secured for no JOY is ever given that does not
have quick echo in the gver's own heart.
Courage! Courage is everythingl It is insep-
arabic from all real worth Of any kind The
average woman needs it not less than does the
deep sea diver. 1t takes more courage to live
and it takes still more courage to enjoy living

I summer frocks will surely afford her a half
dozen aprons at least.
Many aprons especially in the barred muslins
and floral patterns, only finished with a ruff
| fe of self material. Others are bordered with
lace and insertion. Other aprons are made of
alover laces and embroideries.
| Linen aprons of the blousing quality are espe-
cially desirable when made rather plain, having
a scalloped edge, buttonholed with white or col
ored cottons. Either padded eyelet work
swings in harmoniously with the severity of the
scalloped edge.
SKETCHES DESCRIBED
The first sketch shows a pointed apron with
floral pattern yoked in shadow embroidery, eye
| let or French embroidery. Princess aprons are
newer than those with belts. This design may
be easily copied in Princess lines by running
tical tucks through the centre and omitting the
band.
| The border may be of contrasting color, novel
touch, by the way.
The same design recently made in white
embroidered swiss, tied with pompadour ribbon.

ts&sEfaI ''Sales?" she repeated vaguely. "Oh,

them. Here, I'll do it right away"
And she hastily reached for her book in the
pocket of her coquettish black apron.
But what's this you were counting when
came up?' asked the foorwalker, curiously, pick
ing up the little leather book which she had left
lying on the counter. SIS this your engagement
book? Let's see what's doing for tonight"
SILLY! That's my expense book" she cried,
snatching it away from him. "Im learning how
to practice economy now" she added, with self
righteous air.
"Oh you arc are you? Please let me see it.
I'm making an investigation of feminine economy
just now"
She looked at him suspiciously, but there was
not the shadow of a smile even in his eyes.
''Wen," she said hestatingy, eff you're real
good" But he had it in his possession before
the words were well out of her mouth.
''You count up those sales now, and I'll look
over this he said, devotng his whole attention
to the mysterious little book whats this?" he
cried after bit. Hot chocolate, ten cents; one
pound of candy, twenty-five cents"
Yes she chimed in. Isn't that ridiculous?
That's just what l got the book for, SO that

down | wouldn't buy them. Anyway" she added
demurely, seeing that l am a girl, it oughtn't
to be hard for me to economic on that line"
"No, suppose it won't be hard to find some
easy mark
"oh, you horrid thing" she cried? Gust sup
pose You hand that book back to me-"
But he held it safely out of her reach, laughing
mockingly Don't you know that possession is
nine points of the law" She pouted, but made
no reply. Gas matter of fact though" he add
ed more seriously "all girls are grafters. That's
their profession"
Really, you are positively insufferable today
Pm really very busy now, and"
"Oh, no, you're not. It's almost time to close
up now, and you can just talk to me for awhile
The way girls economic is TO save on small
treats, and then deplete the poeketbooks of theil

"Well, why shouldn't they?" she cried. "Ad

course The men don't kick; it's pleasure 10
man to spend money on a girl he likes"

cut, and trimmed with lace and insertion. The

WEDDING WHIWS

Fifty years ago great percentage of middle
class brides married in colored gowns, which
were considered so much more "useful' for after
wear. To aspire to white was regarded as the
privilege of the high-class and fashionable. Now
adays the humbest little maiden dons a white
gown a matter of course at her marriage, and
the fashion of wearing white much in summer
makes the modern wedding gown just useful
as a eolored one would be-
ANTENUPTIAL PROMISES.
Some rather silly brides try to show their pow
er over their new husbands by making them
promise before the ceremony to abandon cigars
forever, to resign from a club, or shave off a
mustache, and good many grooms regard such
promises rather the proverbial pie-crust-
to be broken. Consequently there are breakers
ahead for brides of the promise me darling"
type once the honeymoon is safely over.
FANCY DRESS WEDDINGS.
A few smart people are setting the fashion OF
fancy dress weddings. The bride is dressed like
some celebrated picture by an old master, while
the costumes Of the attendant bridesmaids arc
copied from other equally wellknown paintings
of another period.
There is no doubt that the effect is most quaint
and picturesque, but some older-fashioned people
consider that the introduction of fancy dress gives

HOUSEHOLD NOTES
To remove fish bone from the throat, swal-
low a raw egg as quickly as possible.
CARE OF RITTER
CARE OF BUTTER.

CARE OF BUTTER.
In warm weather, without ice, invert large
crock of unglazed earthenware over the dish
on which the butter is. The porousness of the
earthenware will keep the butter cool and hard
and all the so if the pot is wrapped in a
wet cloth and little water in the dish with
the butter.
NUTS AND FRUIT
The best food for growing children is nuts and
fruit You can raise young monkey from youth
to old age on nuts and fruits, and nuts and fruits
are Just as good for boy as they are for a
monkey How boy will travel to find a nut
tree, and what laborious efforts he will make
to get few nuts These foods contain every
thing that is required in the right proportions.
Sweets good for children, but they should
be sweet fruits, not candies.
THE USES OF AN EDGE BONE.
Purchase an edge bone, varying from II to
10 pounds at from 4 to 6 cents a pound. the
larger it is, the more steak on it, / have the
butcher break the bone twice, but not cut the
meat Slice off good meal of steak then cut
fine pot roast from the thick part Next trim
off all the surplus fat and try it out for drip
pings. The remainder may be cut off for a
smothered beef and use the bone for vegetable
soup. This makes five good dinners, with the
addition of a vegetable and a salad for five in
family at total cost of from 80 to so cents

DARK AND FAIR BRIDESMAIDS.
A good many brides lately have chosen
an equal number of fair and dark bridesmaids
1t makes rather pretty contrast. But, at the
same time, it complicates the choice of colors in
frocks and hats
The "diviney fair" girl may look lovely in light
blue, but this color will not set off the dark
brunette.
At a good many fashionable weddings lately
the bridesmaids have been dressed entirely in
white, with trimmings of gold or silver gauze,
Just to make a little distinction between their
gowns and the brides "all-white" frock.
SWEETHEARTS BEQUEATHED BY WILL.
1t is embarrassing to have sweetheart be
queathed to one by will, like piece of china or

content with interfering during their lifetime with
everybody's love affairs, will a considerable sum

The Norris & Rowe Circus "

The Norris & Rowe Circus which
visited Ritzville last week was a
success in more than one particular.
There was no dust, and it being an
ideal day, more people were out to see
the performance than was anticipated.
The circus itself was good one and
was marked by smooth performance
in which we'll trained acrobats, cap
able clowns, beautiful horses and
TRAINED ANIMALS took place. The aero
bats had their act down perfectly.
One of the most remarkable features
was slack wire performance by two
athlets, who introduced several new
acts to the spectators. Much interest
was taken in the litter of baby lions.
These were between three and four
weeks old. The mother of the foul
little fellows is beautiful beast.
The male lion and two tigers consti-
tuted the handsome beasts in the ami
NAL tent. Besides these there were
three elephants, camels and Other
beasts of the forest and jungles.
Everything passed off very smoothly
and quietly, and the people were well
pleased with the circus, and Norris
Rowe will be welcomed to return
next year.

The Tacoma Ledger says:

Inc Tacoma Ledger says:
"A committee of twenty five citizens
has been appointed by the mayor of
New Orleans to consider the advisa-
bility of holding a great exposition in
1915 to celebrate the opening of the
Panama canal. The people of New
Orleans feel that the opening of the
Panama canal will mean vast amount
of additional business, and they are
probably right. There is no reason why
the products of the Central and most
of the Southern states should go to New
York or Philadelphia or Boston before
being shipped. New Orleans will be
the large city of the United States
nearest to the Panama canal unless
Galveston, which has been growing at a
rapid rate ever since the tidal wave,
ovrtaks her. The development of
traffic on the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers and the opening of the Ohio to
larger vessels will mean additional
business for New Orleans. 1t has been
suggested that while commemorating
the completion of the canal in 1915
New Orleans could also commemorate
the 2OOth anniversary of the founding
of the Gift and the Tooth anniversary
of Jackson's victory. The people of
New Orleans feel that they missed an
opportunity when they let St. Louis
get ahead in the matter of the Louisi-
ana Purchase exposition"
If It keeps on at this rate, every
desirable date for expositions will be
taken for this century and dates will
have to be fixed for POOL, etc.
