SLEEVE PROTECTORS.

sleeve protection must be worn by the

THE rNv1NcIBLE ARMY MULE.

From the Atlanta Coustitutiou-
The army can't get along without its
mules and fits mule stories"
The Chicago Post thus emphatically
comments on a recent order which sub
stitutes the gentle mule for the automo-
bile IN several important army posts.
And we hasten TO add our Endorsement
to the sentiment Of our contemporary.
Imagine any group Of war survivors,
wherever situated. endeavoring these
days to wax enthusiastically reminiscent
while recalling the exploits Of the auto
mobile under fire.
Il Is a self-evident impossibility.
To the 'benzine buggy Il Is, OF course
given to cover ground with celerity and
to aid in rapid movements for provision
ing and mobilization.
But whoever heard OF q mule skipping
explosions while yanl1ing an ammunition
wagon through three feet OF mud. or OF
his gasoline tank running dry al q criti-
cal moment Of the battle?
Likewise, it is possible to put an auto
mobile ''out OF business" with a single,
well-directed rife ball
II the regulation army mule succumbs
to anything short OF a cataclysm, we
have yet to hear the accusation authen-
ticated.

THE INVENTOR OF ICE CREAM.

From the Baltimcre Sun.
Dolly Madison was famous for her
beauty, grace and social charm, but she
has never been given due credit for her
greatest achievement-the invention Of fee
cream. For the chroniclers tell US that
she was the first TO serve this national
delicacy- The wife Of the President must
have been a wonderful woman. gifted IN
everything from diplomacy 20 cooking.
The men have long suspected that some
woman invented both ice cream and mat
rimony, for men for generations have
been inveigIed into both Let a boy and
a girl go out walking. just anywhere.
and suddenly the boy will find himself
face to face with soda fountain or an
Ice cream parlOr. It's just like a man
who starts along courting aimlessly who
suddenly finds himself engaged. He
doesn't understand just how it happened.
But he usually marches up bravely and
finds that he enjoys b6tn maJrimony and
ice cream.
If every girl who eats a saucer Of ice
cream or q "sundae" would put a penny
in the plate TO erect Q monument 20 the
inventress Of ice cream. they could build
a tower so tall that IL would make the
Washington Monument look like a fence
post. While Il was Dolly Madison who
first made ice cream, they tell US Il was
the wife Of a young naval officer, Nancy
Johnson. who invented the ice cream
freezer. She deserves as much credit as
the Presidents wife. They were one In
achievement; they should be one in fame
and immortality.

coFFURE DETAILS.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin
The wearing Of the large hats means
great care in the arrangement OF the
hair.
What little hair is to be seen must be
seen at its best
Most satisfactory is the French method
OF twisting a thick roll Of hair down
around the head near the nape OF the
neck.
In lieu Of this plain roll. a thick pIait
Of hair is used in the same manner.
For those whose appearance is improved
by a high hair ornament. the upstand-
ing Colonial plume is a favorite choice.
a piquant effect is often attained by
this plume. worn with the hair dressed
quite fiat on the top Of the head.
The new muslin flowers, which made
so brave and uncommon a showing on
the summer hats, are being taken up for
hair ornaments.
From one side Of the flower bunch there
often falls a feather, floating down to
the shoulder
Others OF the flowers are sprinkled with
cewdrops, in the form Of tiny Jewels or
spangles

SHINY LEATHER BELTS.

From the philadelphia North American.

with her frocks Of linen. gingham and
even Of foulard and although the com
bination sounds perhaps a little outre,
the effect IS very good.
Speaking generally, these belts are
black and all widths are worn from
one TO five inches. The French figure
includes usually an extremely small
waist, OF which the owner is very proud.
This may account for the popularity of
the shiny belt.

DETAILS OF DRESS.

From the Philadelphia North American.
It is said at the watering places mittens
will be much worn. and this seems Iogi-
cal, because they accord with the Louis
fashions-they do not hide the gorgeous
rings and they are cool and comfortable.
There has even been a change in the
artificial flowers worn this season;
where formerly they were OF muslin
they are now Of etamine. Plumetia has
even been used edged with valenciennes.
but. while novel, the result is not very
pretty.
Although the Frenchwoman has
adopted the coIlarless gown and revels
in it's comfort. she is nevertheless un-
willing TO appear in public places with
the neck quite unadorned- She. there
fore. relies upon her veil to fill all dis
crepancies. and she ties II UP high on the
brim Of her hat. leaving many wrinkles
under her chin. Such wells must be
very wide. but when they are bought IN
Paris they always are.

Juice of the Melon.

Here is a new one on us. The
other day an Abba man was going
down an alley and was interested in
watching three young men carrying
a watermelon. They went to the
rear of one of the stores, put the
melon carefully on the back step and
then sat down to "open it," For the
latter process knife was not neces-
sary for one of the men merely tap
ped the melon lightly and it came in
two pieces and there reposing in the
heart of the melon was pint bottle
of whiskey. If it becomes known
where the brand of melons was rails
ed there will be fearful demand for
them. If peddling whiskey in the
heart of a watermelon is not going

Remand Recital.

The piano recital given by Mon
sieur Emiliano Renaud at the Grand
Opera House Monday evening, failed
to draw a very large crowd, whether
it was the fact that Monsieur Renaud
was not known to the people of De-
corah or whether it was due to the
unappreciativeness of a piano re-
cital. The latter seems more prob
abe. However, the small audience
was greatly pleased with Monsieur
Renaud and his recital was truly a
musical treat.
Monsieur Renaud possesses thor
oughly musical temperament and a
marvellous technique. His quality of
tone is beautiful, both in sustained
and bravura passage. Having as
founding power, he Yields it with be-
.wildering ease and holds his audience
at closest marked attention. Re-
naud's efforts seemed directed to-
ward realizing for his audience and
himself all that was expected of him
and his auditors were certainly well
satisfied.
The program was much too
short and the desire of every one was
to have heard more, for his playing
seemd to create establishment as
well as admiration.
Great credit is due Miss Rosetta
Olson for securing Monsieur Re-
maud here. 1t is seldom indeed that
one has an opportunity in a town of
this size to hear such an artist But
still the people of DEBORAH did not
take advantage of the opportunity
and it goes without saying that even
in DEBORAH good classical music is
unappreciated.

FORMAL OPENING.
1.-THE Red MILL" q Great Play, De-
cOrah's First Theatrical At
traction for the Season.

Martin & Emery Co.'S production,
1.-The Red Mill" the musical novelty
of the year, with book and lyrics by
Henry Blossom and music by Vic
tor Herbert, will be the opening bill
at the Grand opera house on Tues
day night, October 9Th.
"The Red Mill" comes with per-
haps the most thorough endorse
ment ever accorded a comic opera,
having been presented for an en-
tire season at the Knickerbocker
Theatre, New York City, during
which time 379 performances were
given, with engagements in Chicago,
Boston and Philadelphia, of three
months each. The play is conceded
to be the best musical Offering of
many seasons, having a consistent
and we'll written story, with a melo-
dramatic thrill" which fairly took
New York off its feet-the escape
from the mill.
Mr.. Herbert has provided score
of musical gems, and Mr.. Dilling-
ham has given a production in his
well known, princely style. The
scenes being laid in Holland, ample
opportunity is given for the most
picturesque scenery while the cos
tunes are decidedly quaint and ar
tistic.
The company which has been care
fully organized, includes Bert O..
Swor as Con Kidder, Franker Woods
as Kid Conner, Otto Koerner, Alvin
Laughlin, Carl Hartberg, S. W..
Stoott, Harry r. McClain, Cecil Sum-
mers and the Misses Agnes Major,
Vernice Martyr, Adeline Stern,
Georgia Harvey and a chorus of fif-
ty, including the six little Dutch Kid
dies, also an augmented orchestra.
Among Victor Herbert's song hits
heard in 1.-The Red Mill" perhaps
the most popular are Every Day is
Ladies' Day With Me-" You Never
Can Tell About A Woman" GO,
While the Coins Good" 1.-THE
Streets of New York. Because
