here are some worth noting, which are compiled from a reliable exchange:
 WASHING WINDOWS.
 One of the best solutions ever used for washing windows is composed of two quarts of strong soapsuds and one-quarter of cup of kerosene Go over the glass thoroughly and you will not be able to find the shadow of a streak. but you will have obtained the most desirable polish. KITCHEN FLOOR COVERING.
 Anyone possessing an old rag or in grain carpet may make an excellent floor covering for their kitchen if they wash the carpet, tack 1t smoothly to the floor, then give it a couple of coats of varnish. It will be as attractive as linoleum cov- ering purchased from the store.
 IDEAS FOR WASH DAY.
 Wash day is bound to disclose grass stains, large or small, on children's s dresses, which, in some cases, are diff ficult of removal. Before wetting always rub the stain with common molasses, then wash the usual way. Delicate shades of colored goods can be handled in this way. with no danger of fading.
 On ironing day time may be economized by placing the clothes in two piles. Those that need mending in a pile by them selves on one side of the clothes-bars and all of the others by themselves. When the
 
 quiring any mending without having to sort them again. It saves many minutes. HELPS FOR THE KITCHEN.
 A table on well-oiled rollers stands ua- covered in the middle of the room imme- t:iately under the chandelier. The oilcloth, used to cover it, when needed for use, is cut into four squares, placed so that they may lap each other about an inch. Each square has a metal ring fastened on one corner, that 1t may be hung on con- venient nail, when not in use, to save folding and prevent cracking. Ordinarily. where one piece of oilcloth is used to cover the whole table, 1t wears or cracks around the edge, and if any portion be comes torn or badly worn 1t is thrown away. Another "help is the long rollet dish towel in place of small towels Ou towels are about eight feet long, thus hanging down about four feet from tho roller proper which Is suspended iron, the gas jet, by means of a couple of wire hooks, and from which 1t may be quickly ond easily removed when not in use It is so adjusted that the bottom of the towel Is a half inch from the table. Ordf- rarily there are a lot of small towels, very wet in the middle, and dry on tn }

full Is made by peeling and shcing number of large tomatoes; lay two slices together with thin slice of Amer ican cheese between spread with may onnaise; on top put a spoonful of stiff mayonnaise and add bit of green, either a tiny lettuce heart or sprig of parsley. Another tomato salad may be made after the plan of this one by putting a layer of cream cheese mixed with chopped pep pers between the two slices of tomato, spreading with French dressing instead of mayonnase and sprnkling the top with additional dressing when it is ready to serve.
 Asparagus may be used for an attractive salad by cooking some nice stalks and when they are cold slip five or six of them into a ring made by cutting a green pepper; cool well, lay on lettuce and serve; French or mayonnaise dressing is good with this.
 MIXED ICES
 For dessert of ices the mousse or ice cream, is most palatable served with fruit sherbet.
 Fruit sherbets are easy to prepare and very refreshing; heat and crush the fruit till you have a pint of juice; strain this, add the juice of a lemon to bring out the udNOT, SWtelei WILL SuSdT anu water, mix with the unbeaten whites of two more eggs and freeze. Any fruit will do for a sherbet or mixture of fruits The simplest sort of ice cream Is especially nice served with an ice or sherbet. The cream may be a mousse, so that it need not go into the freezer at all, leaving that for the ice. Boil a cup of sugar with a cup of water till 1t threads; pour very slowly over the stiff whites of three eggs; beat till cold fold in a half pint of whipped cream flavor and put In a small covered pail set this in a larger one with ice and salt between, or bury 1t in a deep pan of the ice and salt; it must stand at least four hours before it is opened. Meanwhile the sherbet may be made and frozen, and at luncheon the two may be laid side by side on plates in round ed spoonfuls; vanilla mousse with rasp berry sherbet or orange ice Is very nice; or pineapple sherbet and the mousse; or a sherbet made of mixed fruits.

BECOMING
 Neck wear is one of the most nec- essary adjuncts to the toilet of My Lady Modish, and too much time and care cannot be expended upon 1t. With the tailored shirt waist the hand en- broidered collar manifests itself in various styles, and the smart ties are exquisite in workmanship and design. The small bow, the fluffy ruffies jabot, and the mannish Ascot, bid for high favor with the smartly tailored gown or waist, for morning wear. With lingerie blouses, more elaborate crea- tions are seen, frequently the lace and hand embroidery being deftly wrought in attractive manner.

,JEWELRY-

JEWELRY-
 Has made many new depArtures re- gently and while diamonds and pearls will always hold their Qwn> there is quite fad for the unusual. The dull metals have almost superseded gold and silver as settings for various stones Ivory and even horn is used extensively, showing the artists master hand in the work manship. Heavy Byzantine effects in necklaces and bracelets are fashionable as well as the more elaborate Renais- sance. Translucent emeralds (brilliant and fiashing); baroque pearls and various semi-precious stones, like agate, topaz and chrys-opsae are very popular.
 CRETONNE HATS
 Are the dernier cri of Modsh es. The hat is fashioned of brightly lowered materials, finished with the softest of lace, straw braidS, which are ap- pliqued both on the crown and on the brim of the chapeau. The crowns are high and built on graceful lines, while the brims are of the Merry Widow pro- portions, narrowing at the front and back and tilting on the left side. A large, soft ribbon bow, harmonizing in color with the main motif of the de- sign, is used extensively as a trim ming. These hats are very smart for garden parties, fetes and all sorts of al fresco functions.

BATHING SUITS

This season are almost as elaborate as any other article of feminine wear
 ing apparel. Tres chic are the models, fashioned En Princesse of soft taffetas, and trimmed with the white polka dotted silks, the tie, collar and the, broad band on the skirt, being the smartest arrangement. Tn the shades of brown, blue or red, with silk stockings of the same color and jaunty headgear My Lady looks for all the world like an Edition de Luxe of naughty French novel. .....

 AT CONVENT GARDEN.
 Blythe Walker Is reappearing after sev- eral years absence The critics are com menting upon the great change in her voice, saying that Madam Walkers voice. formerly a contralto. or mezzo soprano. is now keeping entirely to soprano roles and with complete success" In the same connection it may be recalled that Jean I.e Reszke was originally baritone.
 
 THE ENGLISH PIANISTE,
 Miss Katherine Goodson, will make concert tour under the direction of Mi Lowden Charlton next season. She is at present in Australia. The London critics have been most kind to Miss Goodson, speaking in high term of her 'impeccable technique" mastery of tone,' and "bril- liancy of interpretation.
 MRS. CORINNE RIDER-KELSEY,
 Who Is a New York woman, and quite famous as an oratorio and coneert singer, has recently appeared at CoYent Garden, making a splendid impression in her debut as Michaela in Carmen. In the early spring Mrs. Kelsey was the solost at the Each musical festival in Summit N. j., and her singing attracted a, great amount of attention by it's beauty and charm. It .s hinted that Mrs. Kelsey may be heard at an early date at the Metropolitan opera house.

HAT PINS

f1A1 ElNS-
 Are more elaborate than ever be- fore, and 1t Is not surprising to see a modish, near eight or 10 of these pretty jeweled conceits in her chapeau. The irridescent butterflies, 1rehies and beetles are beautifully done in a multi tude of colored stones, and ensconced in background of wild flowers, or' foliage, they are most realistic. The large amber, jet and coral hat pins arc very smart and when one is car rying out color scheme in dress, they harmonize prettily with the various shades.

JUMPER

Gowns seem to lose none of their vogue as the season progresses. They are seen In all the fashionable assemblages and on the best-gowned women. Especially fetching are the linen and wash poplin frocks made in this style. All colors pre- vail, but pink, Copenhagen blue, and law ender seem the most popular. The de- tached manner in which the gown proper is built over the dainty lace guimpe amounts almost to bagginess around the sleeves, yet fitting snugly at the neck and shoulders, giving the graceful lines over the bust and hips. An arabesque in white or self-toned soutache is used for trimming the front panel, sleeves and neck, while the more elaborate gowns have the design in bands on the skirt.

spending increase. The total enrolment
for this year, counting the summer stu
dents, is 1,2S0. In this enrolment every
county in the state is well represented.
There are besides students from Ger
many, Japan, Mexico and Canada, and
from twenty states outside of Utah. OF
the students of the college year only 10
are below college grade. In the gradu-
ating class last June were fifty-one
students, VINO received degrees.
The distinguishing spirit of a college
community is the product of various
student activities that grow up about
universities. In this direction, too, the
present year has been marked. There
are many clubs operating with success.
The glee club, numbering thirty ODD
men, sings college songs in a way that
makes the blood leap. A guitar and
mandolin club, comparatively new or
ganization, promises much for the fu-
ture. Two literary clubs, the Scrib-
blers' club for young men. and the Or
der of CLEAN for young women. meet
regularly to hear lectures by invited
guests or papers by their own mem
bers, and meanwhile, to enjoy the fell
loWship of a cOngenial group. The
Chronicle has been turned into a weekly
newspaper. Work on the junior year
book is already well under way, and
will surpass all similar documents The
Modern Language circle continues It's
interesting custom of frequently giving
little plays in French and German. IL
debating, there will be two iDtercollegI-
ate contests. one with Colorado at Boui-
der in February, and one with Nevacn

Dramatic club has selected 1.-THE Cabi-
net Minister" for its play this year.

nave been accompanied by d substan-
tial realization of the relation of stu
dent enterprise to the high purpose of
education Utah has taken defeats and
victories alike with spirit, and has had
no teams for many days which were
not made up of thoroughly representa-
tive students
Places on the university teams If,
these activities are competitive a
student secures his right to represent
the university by proving his superior
ity to others who are trying for the
same honor. No more striking evidence
of the recent growth of the university
can be cited than the keen rivalry that
has come to exist for places in stu
dent activities. The result is a healthy
spirit in student activities which makes

of the university into modern college

In my judgment the citizens Of Salt
Lake City have it in their power to con-
fer a great and lasting benefit upon the
whole state by cooperating heartily in
promoting the interests of the Utah state
fair. 1 know of no better means of ad-
vertising to the world the limitless re-
sources and opportunities of this state.
The Legislature, soon to assemble, will
be asked to make provision for a suit
able educational building for the fair
grounds in order that the magnificent ed
ucationai work of the state may be ex-
hibited and illustrated. Another crying
need of the fair association is a distinc-
tive poultry building; and still another
is coliseum where the live stock can be
exhibited by electric light in the even
ings. when most men and women have an
opportunity to visit the fair.
These are some of the things the as
ISOLATION is now working for. 1t has
become a member of the Western Fair
association: has been placed on the best
circuit in the country, and henceforth will
be in a position to secure the best fair
attractions to be had in the country. The
secretary of the association is now trav-
cling in the east to get pointers to be
worked out in the improvement OF the
fair.
trates the possibilities open for the fu-
ture, and to the end that the state may
secure all the benefit possible from this
agency | solicit the earnest cooperation
of all public-spirited citizens. Money ex-
pended in this way at this time will
bring forth good fruit for very many
years to come.

I am in receipt OF your communication
honoring me with an opportunity of writ
ing mot more than 200 words on ''how
the city may be improved in the years
to come" The subject which 1 feel in
clined to mention may not be just the
class of dope" you may be fishing for,
but. since you threw out your hook, you
will have to take the bite or convey ii
to the waste basket.
| am not a constant reader of the daily
Salt Lake City papers, but glance at all
of tlfem every day, including Sunday, and
have been surprised at the amount of
valuable space and publicity given to the
social evil of this city. We read that
the poor unfortunate features are driven
by the sheriff and his deputies, the next
ven of rest has been provided for them
in a locality, to which the people sur
rounding this stockade are obpecting.
A stranger reading these comments
would naturally conclude that Salt Lake
City was the most immoral city of its
size in the United States, when in fact
we know that the citizens of Salt Lake
have every reason TO be proud that the
social evil is less prominent here than in
many other cities throughout the country
of even lesser population.
/ suggest that whatever is done to solve
this problem be done before We enter
papers agree not to mention the subject
again. and thereby preserve the name OF
our city from any further criticism upon
this subject.
Besides. the children in our homes are
entitled to some consideration.

1t is always wise to exercise care and
conservatism in business. 1t is especially
wise at this time Emerging from the
shadow of the panic and depression of
the past year there is the danger of go
ing to the other extreme.
Local business is in good condition.
see no cloud in the sky except the low
price of silver. What the solution for the
problem is l am not prepared to say. We
must have a greater demand for silver
from abroad, from the far east. If not,
the outlook for silver mining is not es-
pecially bright.
There is one other factor that will have
a tendency to render local business men
nervous for time. This is the apparent
determination of congress to revise the
tariff If Philippine and Cuban cane sugar
should be admitted free of duty it would
have a marked effect on the beet sugar
interests of this and other western states.
And Il the duty should be removed from
wool and lead il would have a tendency
to unsettie business in this state for a
time at least. l am convinced that the
removal of the duty on these two COM
moditieS would prove disastrous and
am informed that there is a strong move
ment on foot to have wool placed on the
free list.
But the business of Salt Lake City, all
things considered, is in good condition.
The community came through the panic.
the depression and the presidential cam
paign with few scratches and no serious
injury. l see no reason TO think the COM
ing year should not be a satisfactory
one in every way, barring the bad eff
fects of a radical modification of the ia

Get together.

Get together
Here, it seems to me. is the secret for
success in this community. Get together
and pull for the upbuilding of Salt Lake
City, regardless of party or class or creed.
There is no reason why there should
not be built up here the greatest city
between Chicago and San Francisco. The
CRYING need Of the hour is the cutting
out Of bitterness and strife and hearty
cooperation upon the part of all good
citizens In all those things that make
for the development of bigger and bet
ter city.

that the citizens OF Salt Lake City had
~ "a eS-& - rrrnsiiDg among them
selves, that they had reached a determi-
nation to bury their differences and work
shoulder to shoulder for the common
good, an impetus would be given this city
such as II has not yet experienced.

ier to say Get together" than IL is 10

You ask me to contribute an article or
limited number of words suggestive
OF some Improvement that would tend to
better conditions in the city. This is diff
ficult, the field is being pretty well
covered at the present time along the
line of paved streets, water system, sewer
extension, etc, and additional improve
time, involving an increase in taxes, would
tend to work a hardship on the already
overburdened taxpayers of moderate
means.
But a very much needed improvement
can be inaugurated at comparatively
small cost and should be started at once.
At the breaking up of each winter our
streets in most of the residence portion
OF the city, streets that are not paved,
are in an almost impossible condition
owing to the depth of the mud This is
a disgrace to city the size of Salt Lake.
By a libe-al application of gravel a
and the winter season is the best time
TO do the work. as il would then give en-
ployment to men and teams. This would
help the men and benefit the whole COM
munity.
Arrangements might also be made with
the Utah Light & Railway company to
haul the gravel from nearby pits to con-
venient dumping grounds in the city,
from which places it could be distributed
over the streets. In addition to this, to
lessen the cost of crawling the wide
or parking on the sides, should be
adopted, leaving the cost OF maintenance
to be borne by property owners. This
parking would be source of beauty, at
the same time improving the streets and
holding taxes TO minimum.
