To break the monotony of black lace evening gowns frill of pompa- dour ribbon is being used, just under the lace at the front.

In contrast to the simplicity of Eng fish royalty at the table, are the feasts of the Austrian court. The menus are nearly yard long and everything else in proportion. An army of tlunkies bear rare gold and silver dishes which they deftly balance on three fingers. The dish placed before one, however, is scarcely tasted before the court marshal has tapped his golden cane on the marble floor and the dish Is re- moved to make room for the next. This is a state dinner.

Two or more linen dresses are a ne- cessity, and it is yet too early to say exactly how these will be made. How ever, all those made in Paris are striped and trimmed with bands of the same with the stripes running at right angles to the length. Then, too, they are all made in one piece, with body pleats from shoulder'to hem, and some have the waist outlined with linen of a solid color to match the stripes in the dress.

THE LATEST PADS
Stunning Sleeveless Coats That Are Very Heavily
 Braided.

One of the most charming novelties for the coming spring will be coats heavily braided, but without sleeves. They hang loosely in pleats from the shoulder, where they run into point and are fastened by button. These are made of linen, pique or silk, as the occasion may require, and usually are Eton length. A few are of br pad cloth, in three quarter length. The latter are used to wear over evening dresses or for garden parties.
 They are best, however, when W ,rn Over light blouse of net or lace, for then the yoke and sleeves may be seen and give to the coat finished ap- pearance which in itself it lacks.

CHOICE RECEIPTS
Attractive, Inexpensive Menu For Mid Winter.
 Luncheon.

The luncheon menu must be regu- lated not only by the purse of the hostess, but by the amount of help she can command. It is foolish for the woman who has but one maid, or who calls in a convenient neighbor- hood helper to give an elaborate course luncheon. It is far better to choose dishes which can be partially prepared by the hostess before she dresses to receive her guests, whom she faces, happy in the thought that her single assistant can put on the few finishing touches.
 Here is a menu which will not try the abilities of the average cook, and whose items will be found in the aver age market:
 Grape fruit.
 Boullon. Toasted crackers. Olives. scallops Newburgh. Celery.
 Grown of lamb Peas.
 Saratoga potatoes.
 Green and gold salad with cream
 cheese sandwiches.
 Bavatian cream. Sponge cakes.
 Coffee
 To properly prepare grape fruit II should be placed on the ice or in some very cold place for at least "A hours before eating Cut 1t through the center with a sharp, pointed knife. Run the knife around the edges next to the skin. leosening the fruit from the outer skin. Remove all pits and, with the same sharp knife, cut out the core of the fruit so that nothing re. mains but the luscious pulp. Cover with powdered sugar and set on ice for another half-hour IL Is then ready to serve. The addition of q tablespoon of rum and three mar schino cherries is very tasty if you dc not disapprove of liquors.

ITO say that the use of cold cream as a face cleaner makes the hair grow is an exploded fallacy," says a noted skin specialist. There is no reason to leave the cream on the face over night Five minutes is plenty of time. Then rub 1t off with a soft cloth and wash in warm water, using dash of cold before drying. This method keeps the skin smooth and clean without enlarging the pores and cul- tivating blackheads. Nor does 1t make the face delicate for winter winds. If grease made the hair grow so easily as some people believe, woul- there be any baldheaded men or would women use so much false hair? Think about that and all your fears will be set at rest"

SIX CANDIDATES
FOR MAYOR
MAYOR MOORE, r. A. HUTCH
iNSON, j. T. ONO ON ONE
SIDE, N. s. PRATT, L. C..
BROWN, A. L. RITTER ON THE
OTHER.

There promises to be merry
struggle this coming city campaign
between James T. ONO, Mayor
Moore and r. A. Hutchinson, re.
publicans, who in all likelihood
will enter the primaries for the
mayoralty nomination. i
Among the democrats it is said
that N. S. Pratt, l.. c. Brown and
A. l.. Ritter will enter the lists.
Each man has his particular fol
lowing. Dick" Hutchinson is
state senator from this district
and an aggressive campaigner.
Mayor Moore is reluctant to an
nounce his candidacy and refuses
to do so at this time. James T.
Ommo announced his candidacy
several months ago. Mr.. Pratt is a
former president of the council.
Mr.. Brown also has a councilmanic
record.
Against these two old politicians
the candidacy of Mr.. Ritter is be-
ing doomed. Mr.. Ritter has not
been in politics to any great ex-
tent but will have a stronger fol-
lowing among business men. He
has not yet announced himself, but
no doubt will. as prominent demo
Gratis are heralding him as their
Moses already.
The Moore-Omo fight will be par
ticularly bitter. Soon after Moore
took Office he began campaign to

missioners. ONO fought back and
it was months before the mayor
could accomplish the proper frame
up to eliminate ONO. The fight
has been carried on ever since, in

DUE TO IRRITATION

The violent expulsion of air from
the lungs, through the mouth, the
result of an irritation in the air
passages. is what is commonly
known as coughing. This In turn
irritates the mucous membrane of
the breathing apparatus, causing
discomfort and sometimes pain,
and weakening the natural power
of resistance to attack which these
organs should possess.
To relieve a cough and at the
same time soothe and heal the ir-
ritated membrane, the following
simple formula will be found most
effective. Take half ounce OF
Virgin Oil off Pine compound pure,
two ounces of glycerine and a half
pint of good whisky. Mix thor
oughly and use in doses of a tea
spoonful every four hours. This
mixture makes a quantity sufficient
to last the average family an en-
tire year, and Is said to break UP
a cold in "a hours. Purchase the
ingredients separately and mix
them yourself.
Virgin Oil of Pine compound
pure is combination of the active
principles of the pine and santal-
wood trees, and retains the heal
ing. health giving properties for
which these trees are famous. 1t
Is put up for dispensing only in
half ounce Walls. each vial securely
sealed in a round wooden case.

a way. Omom soon began a quiet
campaign to feather his political
nest for next spring. 1t was sew
eral weeks before the fact that his
ambitions lay in that direction be-
came generally known. He has al
ready started an aggressive cam
paign and is enlisting leading
politicians in his cause. ONO will
probably make his fight ON lib
eral platform.
A contention is that although
Mayor Moore was elected on a
r.rfform" ticket the town is not re-
formed to any great extent. re-
forms that have been instituted re-
sulting in conditions as bad as be-
fore. Browns campaign will be on
liberal lines, while Pratt and
Ritter will be reformers.
