WAYS TO ARRANGE FLOWERS.
Good Idea Is to Follow Nature as
Closely as Possible.

1t is well to remember that all
flowers look better for loosening up a
trifie and few look we'll packed tightly
together. One of the safe rules to fol-
low is to heed the natural growth of
the flower whenever possible. Flowers
that grow in thick clusters are GER
tain to look well in masses, while
those that grow singly and far apart
should not be crowded. The object
should always be to bring out the
whole beauty of the flowers and to let
everything else be secondary to that.
Chrysanthemums and sweet peas
are examples of the few flowers that
do not need foliage as a relief. Nearly
all others look far better amid green
leaves. A trailing green vine is often
Just the touch that is needed to soften
stiff arrangement. Asparagus fern
is an airy, feathery green, suitable
only for fragile and delicate flowers in
loose arrangement. Wood sorrel has
delicate leaves that look well with
sweet peas and other small flowers,
but as a rule a flowers own foliage
suits it best.
The vases used play an important
part in the success of flower arrange
ment. Colorless, transparent vases
are always safe and sometimes abso-
lutely necessary. Bowls are beautiful
for short-stemmed flowers, and the
cheaper variety are sometimes the
best. An ordinary glass fish globe dis
plays the full beauty of the stems to
far greater advantage than cut-glass
rose bowl. The colorless glass olive
bottle, going straight up and down, is
more to be desired than opaque
vases, which hide decorative stems.
Tall, slender vases are suitable for
long gstemmed flowers. 1t is said that
the height of long-stemmed flowers
should be / "a times the height of the
vase.
Yellow flowers in a dark blue jar
are effective, and brilliant red flowers
look we'll in the neutral gray jars of
some of the Japanese ware. The pur-
pie violet finds its richness intensified
In pale yellow jar Pansies and
violets both look their best in heavy
lar, preferably of cylindrical shape.
1t is well not to mix flowers of diff
ferent kinds and different colors. A
cluster of blossoms all presenting the
same hue is usually the most eff
fective arrangement. Some flowers
such as a chrysanthemum or rose
when long-stemmed and handsome
are set off to advantage when sin
gle flower alone occupies the vase.

Easily Cooked Dinner.

Take two gallon butter jar, one
that is as wide as it is high Wash
the roast, season to taste, place into
the jar dry" with no water what
ever. Have a good cover, weighted
heavily, to keep the steam in. Place
the jar on an asbestos mat over a
slow coal fire or gas burner at $50
a. m. without second thought about
your roast until noon, and you will
find it beautifully done. The gravy
juice is golden brown and ready for
thickening while the potatoes are boil
ing.
No gravies compare in flavor and
smoothness to this kind. Even the
cheapest cuts of meats become tender
and delicious with this treatment aid
the process needs no watching" or
blasting" at any time.
The estimates for cooking are as
follows: Beef, 80 to 40 minutes; pork,
20 to 80; lamb, 20 to 25; chicken, 30
to 35; tame duck, 40 to 60; wild duck,
80 to 40.

For the Drinkers.

Did you know that there is a cor
rect and incorrect way to hold the
saucer in which your teacup rests ?
The correctness consists in whether or
not it is held gracefully. Watch the
women at an afternoon tea and you
will see that not all, indeed few, han
die the cup and saucer in the most en-
gaging way. Here is the secret: In
stead of holding the saucer with the
four fingers placed beneath 1t and the
thumb above the rim-as nearly every
woman does-form a half circle with
the thumb and first finger, clasping
the saucer in it, and giving a slight
support with the third and fourth fin
gers.

Tallor.Made Accessories.

Much of the smart effect of any
tailor-made suit depends upon its ac-
cessories. Needless to say, anything
savoring of the directoire should not be
accompanied by linen collar and a
stiff little tie. These belong to what
is known as the English type of street
suit, meaning the severely tailored
box or semi-fitting coat and gored or
plated skirt, minus trimming. With
the French model there should be a
high lace collar or chiffon stock
giving the desired soft effect about the
chin-and the frilly lacey front, in ad-
dition OF the wrist ruffies. which
should be of finest hand-weave or
hand embroidery. Immediately white

NEW TOUCHES FOR GIRDLEs.
Small Details That Will Be Found t
Prove Charming Additions.

Nearly every modiste has ideas of
her own with reference to girdles and
belts, which she develops as occasion
offers, and while there is no very great
latitude possible with the ordinary
frock, still many small details may be
used that give original touches to
the costume and prove charming ad.
ditions.
For example, one clever foreign
modiste takes two or three rings GOV.
cred with heavy silk, buttonholed
around the edges, and through these
the ribbons or folds of the material
are drawn in various combinations.
Another girdle of ribbon by the
same modiste has for flowered mus
lin or silk frocks cluster of blossoms
matching some of those in the dress
drawn loosely through a knot in the
girdle. In this case the knot should
be at the center front or to one side
of it.

maker made an organdie lawn party
frock in white with blackberry bios
SONS and leaves in lavender and pink,
had cluster of white berry blossoms
and cluster of unripe berries pulled
through the white silk sash drawn
high at the left side, and her large
white leghorn hat was trimmed with
trails of berry vines showing the
white flowers and also now and then
unripe green berries and an occa-
sional purple one.
The Colorado statesman., 1908-09-12
Cleaning White Paint.

Hot water and soap give yellowfsh
tinge to white paint. To avoid this
make lather of hot water and a mild
pure white soap, and use it after 1t be-
comes lukewarm. 1t is also a bene-
fit to the paint to go over it again
with perfectly clear water and a
clean cloth, removing any suggestion
of soapiness, as all soap is more or
less yellowing if allowed to remain on
either paint or clothes.
The Colorado statesman., 1908-09-12
Flavor of Canned Goods.

Canned fruits and vegetables should
be removed from their tins or glasses
several hours before using and left in
a large fat dish where the air can
reach them freely. This is said to do
away with a certain peculiar flavor.
or rather to restore the natural flavo
to the canned goods.
The Colorado statesman., 1908-09-12
Glove Mendinn.

Use silk or cotton thread as nearly
as possible the color of glove. Sew
all around the torn place buttonhole
stitch, not too fine, then put needle
through each stitch on opposite side
and draw together. The glove will
look well and torn places will last till
glove is worn out.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
FOR MUDDY skin.

An effective treatment for a muddy
skin Is as follows: Wash the face thor
oughly with lather Of good soap and
a tine camel's hair brush. Then spray
with quite hot water. Now gently pat
1t dry with a soft towel and gently
rub in skin food. Spray the face
again with bath spray. this time using
cold water. Spray with the cold water
until the face glows and then ill a
basin with cold water to which a tea
spoonful OF benzoIn has been added
aud dash on the face.
Before going to bed wash the face
thoroughly again and apply buttermllk
until the skin seems to refuse to abb
sorb more or else crush a few lettuce
leaves and apply the milk from them
to the face until there is no moisture
left. Benzoln should not be used on
the face oftener than once a week.

CIRCULATING FALSE REPORTS
Bonds are For City Hall and not for
Court House.

Bonds are For City Hall and not for
Court House.
City Clerk Main is In receipt OF a
letter from the Union Trust company
of Spokane. making inquiries with
relation to the $4,000 bonds issued
for the purpose of erecting a city
hall, and for which they are now adj
vertising for bids.
The company asks to be advised by
the city clerk as to the truth OF a
current reT51t that the public build
ing for which the bonds have been
issued is to be erected for the pur-
pose of supplying a court house for
the county as an inducement to
transfer the county seat from Rath-
drum to Occur d'Alene.
The letter has been the subject Of
considerable comment and the opin-
ion prevails as the letter itself clear
ly shows. that some person, who is
opposed to this city being the county
seat, has taken the above method to
void. II possible, the sale Of the
bonds.

No Reasons Given for His Leaving
the Police Force.

NNN A0AAN@ AN&@Ne
Night ofieer e. S. jackson yester-
day afternoon rendered his resigna-
tion to Mayor scailon and the same
was immediately accepted and James
Bolton appointed in his stead.
Jackson assigned no reason for
rendering his resignation. and his
action in this respect came as sur
prise to many. The rumor was cur
rent among those in position to
know. that his resignation was de-
manded by the mayor, because of his
action in the trouble occurring at the
Crittendon home the other evening.
Mayor Scallon was communicated
with for the purpose of ascertaining
the cause of his resignation. but he
declined to discuss the matter as to
whether he asked Jackson to re-
sign or not, saying it was sufficient to
state that he had rendered his resig-
nation yesterday afternoon, and that
he had no desire to say anything
whereby he might insinuate or re-
fleet upon any persons character.
