Service Plates.

Service plates" are those used on
luncheon and dinner tables between
courses.
The old-fashioned way was when a
person had finished eating from a
plate it was removed and the place
before them left empty until another,
containing the next course, was put
before them.
Service plates fill the gap, and it
is nc, considered good form ever to
leave a place without a plate. The
butler or maid, as he or she takes
away the plate with which one is fin
ished, puts down an empty one, usual
ly of very fancy kind. This remains
until the next course is served to each
person. The service plate is then
taken up and returned at the next in
terval.
Service plates are on the table at
the beginning of luncheon or dinner,
and at that time the napkin is folded
on them.
They may be of medium size or
large, preferably the latter.

Exercise Is Necessary.

The body which is not exercised gets
fiabby and weak and degenerates in
any number of bad ways. Double and
triple chins, horribly misshapen busts
and abdomens, fiat chests, lank waists,
and other unlovely features of many
unfortunate women's frames are the
creatures of no exercise. Exercise rids
the body OF many shortcomings which
might be retained as deformities for.

and the beautifully proportioned-in
fact, every woman-.need it if face or
figure are to develop or preserve
beauty.

Grenadlne again the Fashion

Grenadne after years and years of
absence has returned. 1t is the
greatest novelty of the. season and is
treated like the shantungs, twills and
satins with flowered borders-made to
resemble insertions bordered on each
side with garlands of flowers. Others
with borders of satin and large dots.
Others again, striped. The flower de.
signs are evidently taken from de-
signs for silks in fashion in the early
SOS Of the last century, and some
too, from the Louis XIV. epoch.

Oranges are the latest cure ad-
vanced for obesity. The diet is:
On waking, the juice of one fruit is
drunk, and this should be cold A
second meal taken about an hour later
than the first should be composed Of
the juice of two oranges, and musa
be slipped slowly. If one is Tavenous-
ly hungry there is no objection to
taking at the same time one piece of
very thin and crusty toast. No but
ter is permitted.
At intervals of two hours through
out the day juice may be slipped. One
orange at a time is usually enough,
for it is not to be expected that quarts
of the fruit would allay real pangs of
hunger. Another bit of toast is per
missible during the afternoon, but if
flesh reduction is the object of the
cure the toast must be crusty and
dry.
AT dinner one is supposed to eat
a hearty meal. No sweet or greasy
dishes should be INDUCED in.

To Clean a Fan.

To clean fan place it in dish and
cover with gasoline. Do not attempt
50 rub the material, or the chiffon or
lace will, in all probability, tear apart.
Press tightly until the dirt comes out,
and fan certainly collects a great
deal of dust. After freeing it from dust
and all blemishes put it into clean gas
oline in which there is a drop of
bluing. Spread the fan out on a piece
of white cloth, pin the two points to
stretch the material, and let it dry,
After 1t has thoroughly dried, cover
with talcum powder, highly scented,
and leave for one day. This destroys
the odor of gasoline and makes the
fan as beautiful as new. If the edges
are the least worn, bind with chiffon
ribbon, lace beading or a soft frill OF
lace or chiffon to match the cover,

Laying the Cloth.

A table ought first to have a pro-
tective covering of thick felt or baize
fastened securely at the corners by
tapes-to prevent hot dishes damaging
the woodwork, and also to help to
deaden the sound of plates and other
items being placed upon it. 1t is not
wise to choose a material of bright
coloring for this purpose, as, when
children are present and any liquid
gets spilled thereon, the dye from the
baize is apt to discolor the white lin
en- cloth. In such cases it may be
necessary to have piece of oilcloth
placed between the baize cover and
the linen. Spread the linen cloth even
Iy on the table.

MUST SUIT THE FACE.
Time Well Spent Over Arrangement
of Proper Couture.

There are no hard-and-fast rules
governing hair dressing save the great
fundamental one which so few profes
sional coiffeurs ObserVe-namely, that
the outline must be neither stiff nor
conventional The hair must be ar
ranged to suit the face, which, if it
chance to be of the fashionable Greek
type, may be somewhat drawn back
from the brow, preserving the
straight line of the profile. That same
profile line governs the position of the
knot at the back of the head and
should be carefully studied with the
aid of the hand glass. But if the nose
be short and the face rather broad,
the coiifure must be arranged in diff,
ferent manner on the top of the head,
although not necessarily in the eXtrav-
agant form of pompadour which has
absolutely gone out of date. The hair
may be pulfcd above the brow so as
to meet the big coil at the crown,
and If there are vacant spaces, the
ribbon may be arranged to fill them.
The thin-Chceked woman whose pro-
file lacks the straight Greek line re.
quires fluffy locks to soften her feat
ures, and the crown braid to give the
desired breadth. She would better
wear the ribbon to show at the sides
and the back.

What to Wear.

Fair women who flush easily should
avoid light blue, more especially for
evening gowns, and the woman of in
definite coloring should never wear
black velvet, while she of brilliant
complexion and decided features will
probably look splendid in it. Then,
again, the dullness of chiffon is try,
ing to some and the sheen of satin to
others. The only way to come to a
decision in these matters (and once
learned one should bear it in mind)
is to hold the various Materials up be-
fore you and study the effect in the
glass.

Fine damask deliberately inset with
Irish and Cluny lace is now very
smart for the luncheon and dinner
table. Embroidered dinner cloths have
been attempted from time to time, but
have never found much favor, but a
luncheon cloth or large center piece,
stretching just to the border of the
table and heavily embroidered In all
white with deep border of Irish lace
all round is most effective By some,
however, the very finest of linen, quite
plain, is preferred to the more effec-
tive but scarcely more costly cloths
heavily embroidered and trimmed with
bands of lace
The so-called bare luncheon tables
are still more fashionable than those
covered with a long cloth, no matter
how costly the linen may be. The CEN
ter piece may be sufficiently large to
stretch almost to the edge of the round
table, but it is laid directly over the
mahogany or oak, so as to show to
best advantage the beauties of the lace
and embroidery. Colored satin and
silk foundations are frequently seen,
but just as often the center piece is
placed directly upon the wood.
Ribbon is used but seldom nowadays
for table decorations, and, in fact, the
desire seems to be to get away from
any crowded appearance. Even on q
fairly large dinner table the only flow
ers will be in the huge silver or gold
basket in the center of the table,
while the shades on the candle sticks
and candelabra may bear out the color
of the flowers, although plain silver
and gold shades are also frequently
used.
The large silver flower baskets are
comparatively new, being shaped like
the regular fiat wicker basket with the
rack inside, through which each flower
is inserted separately and kept in
place. For an unusually large table
high, slender basket, with long han
dies, makes a charming flower vase,
grating or rack being, of course.

latter raised in rose effect and applied

Colfax in due time will have new
play house, larger, finer and more costly
than the one destroyed by fire several
weeks ago. The plan Of organizing a
stock company has proved a success,
stock at this writing being all taken
but $1,000, and parties who know a good
thing when they see it standing ready to
take what is left. A meeting OF the
stockholders was held last Friday night.
| was decided to incorporate at once,
and papers with that end in view have
been prepared. Edward Johnson was
elected president; William Lippitt, vice
president; Charles L. Mach enzie, secre-
tary, +. Il. Stravens, treasurer. Various
committees were appointed The build
ing committee consists of Roland Reid,
William Lippitt. Oliver Hall, p. B.

johnson and W. j. Hamilton.
While the plans are not all complete
The Gazette is safe in making announce
ment that work will begin on the new
structure right away. The site will be
that of the old theater. The stone
foundation left from the old structure
cannot be used again, save the relaying
OF the rock, as the plans for the new
building will be larger and quite different
from the old. Keith & WhitehOuse,
architects of Spokane, presented plans,
which were approved in main by the
committee, showing a handsome struct-
ure OF mission architecture, truly an
ornament to the city. The roof will be
oval in shape, covered with vucanite.
The main auditorium will have a seating
capacity OF 400; the balcony will accom-
modate $50 Seats will occupy a space
Of 32 inches, two inches more than given

springs TO get water TO drink and for
cooking purposes.
1t was the report OF the water superin
tendent that the pipes had given out
that caused the council to let the con-
tract for the big well or cistern at the
pumping station, az well as to erect
tanks at each end Of Main street to re-
ceive water pumped from the South Pa
louise for street sprinkling purposes All
this has cost money.
But 10 an examination Of the pipe
line last week revealed the fact that it is
all right, and when the leaka due to
poor coupling were plugged, we witness
an abundant flow OF water into the res
ervoir, giving plenty OF the life giving
fluid Of the purest and best for the use OF
our people.
The people Of Colfax are Justly indig-
nant over this matter. 1t was the pre-
diction Of every physician in town that
unless q change came soon an epidemic
Of disease would follow. But why mul-
tiply words There should he no loop
hole given FOR the recurrence of all this.
The mayor and council are expected to
act.
