SOME USEFUL HINTS FOR
HOME DRESSMAkE

When making buttonholes in mater
ial always choose a thread twenty mum
bers coarser than that which you
would naturally use in that material.
For instance if you are sewing piece
o" material with No. so cotton, you
can work the buttonholes with No. 60.
To prevent the threat from knotting
when doing hand sewing always make
a knot in the end last broken from the
spool. This done, stretch the thread by
taking the ends and giving several
quick pulls.
A little tin ruler is much easier to use
than the tape measure for the measure
ment of little things, such as bands,
hens and tuCkS.
If YOU sew a waistbone up the back
of a tape measure for the first ten
inches you will have a means at hand
to rapidly measure skirt lengths and
lines for trimming.
In cutting garments it is sometimes
more rapid to fasten the pattern in
place by means of weights than by
pins.
A few paper clips are invaluable in
the sewing basket, for they may hold
together scraps, pieces of patterns and
bits of lace.
Some thumb tacks such as artists
and draughtsmen use, will be found an
invaluable help in the sewing room.

Mr.. Thaw's mental machinery will be
resumed. During the interval, all the
attorneys concerned have been bus
lily ingaged on the evidence to be Of

According to program, the sad, SOL

Thaw on the witness stand. He will

subjects, including art, arson, music

In the opinion of many, the be&

vided only by his release. If he

UttIIIS NUOfN'
MANS COMPLEXION

From London Town comes the newest
sensation-that mans complexion is
clearer and more healthy in appearance
than a woman's. There is no doubt
but that a mans complexion possesses
more durable texture that woman's.
1t does not show the burrows and lines
as quickly and it is smoother and more
juvenile.
Nothing more quickly blemishes the
skin than illness, and woman's skin is
more apt to take on a deadly wnIre
color than that of a man. A mere
headache will cause a woman's COM
plextion to turn white, whereas, the
mans does not change as quickly on
so slight a provocation.
A woman's complexion is more sensa :
tive than q mans. 1t shows blood dis
orders more quickly. 1t speedily indi-
Gates the health. 1t is said that wells
injure a woman's complexion. They
hold dust, which works great injury to
a sensitive skin. The treatment which
a man takes for his face, only a shave
in most cases is said to be more health
full than the routine messages of the
woman.

Heavy Wind.

The different fire companies over
the city had a busy day Sunday-in
fact during the whole time that the

manner.
The first fire to start with the up

This was a bonfire.
Saturday night a box call came
from the Union Pacific hotel in North
Topeka. The wind at this time was
blowing at a high rate and as the
companies from No. 2 turned on Kan
sas avenue the sky for miles could be
seen in a flare. But on arrival at the
hotel nothing unusual was apparent
and the companies kept the horses on
dead run to the end of the city
limits. Is seems that a prairie fire
north of the city caused the scare.
Right after this came an alarm for

That the raising of the tracks north
of the river bridge has been finished, it
has been deemed wise by the company
to raise the tracks at the point where
the bikes cross the Santa Fe to the
height of four feet. This will mean a
raise of two feet in front of the Santa
Fe Junction depot, and this will cause
the raising of the depot, a very old
structure which has stood the test of
two floods. The floors are sinking and
the sides of the building have given out
in many places. 1t is simply a she'll of
a building and fire trap. 1t has caught
fire several times from sparks of en-
gines passing. The building has stood
for many years and is not worth re-
pairing or raising. When the tracks
are raised, it is likely that If a new
building is erected it will be a stone
structure.
]. NJ Meade assistant chief engineer
of the Santa Fe, visited North Topeka
last Friday and says in order to create
a track of greater capacity for holding
switch north of the depot ought to be
yards further north About twenty cars
are the largest number that can be
handled between the switches, and
troubles has always been caused in
getting started up the south grade. The
same trouble will prevail, say the
switchmen, after the tracks across the
bikes have been raised but when the
several hundred feet of tracks have
been raised between the river and Sol
der creek, the road will be in first
class condition for the handling of the
heavy freight trains.
