E.A. SHORT, EXCLUSIVE JEwtLER.

[. A. ShUkl, tAGlUSIVt JtWtltk.
 Prescott has special occasion to congratulate itself upon the possession of this exclusive store, which in appointment and de- signs, compare favorably with cities many times it's size.
 About sixteen months ago, its proprietor, MT. E. A. Short, moved to this city from Forrest City, Ark, and embarked in the jewelry business, and is now ! enjoying a lucrative patronage, being located on East Elm street.
 He carries a complete line of all the latest designs in watches, clocks, silverware, umbrellas, etc., in fact this establishment is complete in every detail. Among the numerous novelties to attract are the beautiful na- tural roses, preserved by the old Egyptian art, until late years considered lost, which in point of beauty and substantially, are truly an ornament of the highest degree. They also carry the Prescott souvenir spoon of the latest designs. and are retailing them at almost cost.
 He also carries a line of silk umbrellas with detachable ham, dies, one of which is a pretty ornamented gold, the other plain handle, the idea being when in rains, sleets and snows, or some one borrows the umbrella, you can remove the gold handle and replace the plain one.
 ! Among the substantial wares his beautiful line of watches, cut glass sets and pieces, hand painted China, silverware, rings, of every description, bric-a-brac, table cutlery, toilet sets, um- brellas, etc., are surpassed by none and equaled by few. and if you contemplate purchasing a present, or for yourself, there is no need of patronizing mail or der houses in other cities. as the Short jewelry establishment have the same wares as cheap, or cheaper and equally as good. Call and see the many useful and ornamental wares and you will be delighted and surprised at the price and quality, and which they will take great pleas ure in showing you.
 Being a watch, clock and opti- clan expert also, MT. Short has an up-to-date department for fitting glasses, repairing your watch or clock. or repairing any thing in metal form, and abso- lutely guarantees satisfaction.
 Miss Chessie Buchanan, one of Prescott's most amiable and ac- complished young ladies, is as- sisting in accommodating the many patrons of this firm, and would take pleasure in showing you the many articles of the store.
 MT. Short is a consistent mem- Der of the Presbyterian church, and is a Mason and Odd Fellow, thoroughly interested in the ad- vancement and prosperity of

FRocks TO BE TyssEo.
Blue and Brown eaIatea Will Be Found
Most ServiceabIe.

Among the cheapest of the good
looking tub jumper frocks are those
made Of blue and brown galatea. The
material sells at a very small price
everywhere and washes like a collar.
1t comes in good tones that do not
show soil and comes out of the tub
without being faded.
Linen makes charming ones, but
every woman does not care to afford
many linen frocks. The good quality
is the only one worth buying. and a
frock Of 1t amounts up.
When a girl feels she can afford
only one, she should get it in rose pink
or nile green in order that 1t may be
dressy enough for afternoon wear.
This Is the ideal costume for church
this summer, at home or on vacation.

Next to this come combinations Of
cream and brown or ecru and brown.
Lovely lavenders and white are
shown, also some dainty shades of
pink. Very little scarlet and white is
used in shirt waists. as red is always
warm shade in summer.
AS rule these finely-striped waists
have matching collars and cuffs, and
either very small, natty ties in white
or the plain color to match the colored
stripe, or for the slender girl fluffy
jabot of plain white lawn, the edges
scalloped and dotted in mercerized
floss to match the colored stripes in
the fabric.
The stout woman should avoid thief
gathered or fluffy jabot. but she can
wear the narrow, fiat, plated jabots
which are pinned to the turnover col.
lar and show scarcely ripple. so
smoothly are the plaits laid.
Another stunning midsummer model
in the tailored shirt waist is developed
in white lawn, batiste or nainsook, en-
broidered in colored dots the size of
nickel, all in rich colorings. These
coins or dots are not embroidered or
spattered all over the material, but
give the effect of being arranged in
strips, a line of coins about an inch
and half or two inches apart running
from shoulder seam to belt line down

HOW TO BRUSH THE SCALP.
Doing This Properly Really is Of Much
Importance.

To begin the brushing after the pins
are taken out, the hair should be part
ed in the middle and one-half fastened
tightly to the head, to get 1t out of the
way until needed. Then, with a comb,
part close to the forehead from one
ear to the middle must be made. This
one strand is. of course, separated
from the rest, and with the brush
firmly grasped, the bristles at the tip
resting on the part, the cleansing is
commenced. All of this work is done
with the few bristles at the end. and
these, beginning on the scalp, are
drawn down firmly and evenly to the
very tip of the lock. This should be
done several times, being sure that the
scalp is busted, as it were, each time.
This strand is then put by and an
other taken, the process being repeat
ed until all one side of the head has
been treated.
It is not work that can be hurried,
and the whole secret of success lies in
reaching the scalp with each stroke
and keeping the bristles in the hair
until the tips pass through. In this
way the dust is dragged out. 1t is
most important that the brush SO used
shall be cleansed with the comb every
few minutes, else the soil that is re-
moved will simply be put back again.
Knocking the brush, bristles down.
against hard surface is good way
of beating the dust from them.

ONE POINT IN OUR FAVOR

ly did 80. During the slow, steep

Az to Stockings.

In these days Of low shoes and thin
Isle and silk stockings 1t Is disheart-
ening to the woman of limited means
to find that her hose supporters have
ruined a dainty pair of stockings at
first wearing because hole has been
started and thread has slipped half
way down the stocking. When the
stockings are being marked an old
stocking should be cut into little inch
squares and these sewed to the top Of
the stocking, both on the right and
the wrong side, where the garters are
to be fastened. This Is a sure pre-
ventive for the holes which are other
wise bound to appear.

The most pronounced feature of the
midsummer shirt waists is their strik-

After two years of almost solid
white, the shirt-waist world has sud

the rainbow. Particularly are the
striped effects stunning and becoming

The stout woman can wear them

To Gather Sleeves.

When you wish to gather the sleeves
of waist or dress do not stop to ad-
just the gatherer to the machine, but
stitch two rows Of stitching around
the sleeves where you wish 1t to be
gathered. having first made the stitch
large. Then pull the threads up to
make the required fullness. This is
preferable to using the gatherer, as
the fullness can be adjusted exactly.
