WASHING WINDOWS
IN WINTER TINE
A SIMPLE TASK

Persons who prefer TO have the win
dows washed with water viii obtain the
best results by using only a small guam
tity OF water, adding one or two tea
spoonfuls Of alcohol. The water should
be warm. and a small channels wrunS
out OF the solution and applied to the
windows VIII remove any dust. mark,
or stain. The pane should then be wiped
with a dry. soft rag. and finally polished
with a dry chamois. or, better still, old
newspapers.
Indeed, there is nothing better for a
finish for either process than good rub
with a newspaper. Both chamOis and
rags may possibly be in a condition 10
leave a streak or smear. but newspapers
can be perfectly clean besides. the
printers ink makes an excellent polish.
Moreover, they have the merit OF cheap
ness and are always available
If one is pre- pared for window clean
ing on a damp day when Just q mist
appears upon the glass, then a dry rag
and lastly a newspaper IS ali that is
necessary, II vigorously applied. This is
the quickest process of all. but none IS
particularly formidable If gone about IN
a methodicaI way.
The main points TO be remembered are
never to clean windows with the sun
shining on them, TO have plenty OF dry
cotton cloths or a number of old news
papers on hand, and IN no case to use
700 much water.

Summer Styles

No woman will have any excuse for
appearing badly dressed this summer.
for fabrics and fashions are more
charming and varied than ever. afford

individual Taste; moreover. most Of the
fabrics are quite inexpensive, while
some OF the pretuiest and most becom-
ing styles are so simple that they ought

amateur dressmaker.
For instance. the ample Japanese

fabric as the skirt, and attached 10 bre-
telies or d ''piuafore" arrangement, are
worn over smart se-slip-obviatfDg

managed. 10 IS the plain tailor cos
tune nowadays that demands the per-
fection Of cut and fit supplemented

dressmakers and amateurs should not
attempt TO make costumes OF this kind.
but should condne their efforts TO less
formal garments.

The New HdtpinS

Very beautiful are the newest hat
pins, composed OF large balls OF plati-
mum. plentifully set with briIliants or
tiny rhinestone. These pins are SO
made that they can be unscrewed from
the pin and attached to q gold or en-
amel watch chain. with an exquisite
hat Of white lace and flowers this hat

ambers and tortoise she'll balls. which

delicate flowers, ribbons and laceS.

Best Lamp Shades

The shade of a lamp is Just as impor-
tant a the base, and must be selected
with care. Perforated brass and copper
gold wire cloth and loaded glass are de-
signed TO harmonize with the pottery
foundations. The glass shades are
transparent and are most satisfactory
for reading. Some OF the copper shades
have more DerfoTatiOns than others,
whclh provide actual light. The Jap
aneSe lamp shade Is one OF the best and
Is inexpensive. It must, however, har-
monte with the foundation For read
ing purposes It is one of the best. but
does not NJ every lamp. On many II is
distinctly out Of place. The frames are
Of wood. lacqUered black. and treated
ia such a way that they are not affected
by heat The paper is tough and OF
transparent quality. The decorations
are by native artists in simple but rich
tones. Many lamps are failures because
the shades are not properly proper

Special Costume

90 skating costume is no longer the
simple device OF old short skirt. sweater.

feet in its way as the travelling suit

princess cloth dress. worn with a short
fur jacket and small fur toque and muff

the skirt should be shorter than the or

of smoke experienced in the history
of this part of the country.
Old residents of Chicago have seen
nothing like 1t since the big fire OF
1871, which laid waste s20O.O00.000
worth of property in this city and
they confess that the smoke of those
days covered a limited territory COM
pared with that affected by the de-
structive forest fires in Minnesota,
Michigan and Wisconsin in the last
few days.
In Chicago the pail reached its
greatest density today after thicken-
ing perceptibly for nearly a week.
Added to the haze was the sharp
odor today of smoke from burning
trees and grass. There was no mis-
taking the smell. With Cn.cago sever

the advancing fires it may be imagin-
ed what must be the discomfort of
those in the immediate neighborhood.

state that the village of Norris, in the
eastern part of the county, is in dang

has been working like Trojans all day
to save the village. A large ditch has
been thrown up around the village.
All trains have been running sever

and run safely on account of the
dense smoke.
Railroad men say that the woods
are all afire between this city and

towns are in danger.
Some sections of the country have
been devastated, the fire burning
down into the roots of trees. allowing
them to fall as IL cyclone had struck

The loss in the county will be the
heaviest in years, not excepting the
