Citizens Night at Grand Theatre.

once more the amateurs will tread
the boards of fame at the Grand thea
tire tonight and Prof. Bloomfield has
secured all new faces this week and
they are all girls, so 1t will be rather
hard to say who shall get first prize.
The first turn Is a very neat Spanish
rope dance; the next is novelty
flower act; and the next very neat
cowboy speciality. All are In connec-
ton with the big professional show
and three reels of pictures and illus
trated songs-all changed tonight.

The Climate Of Yuma.

The government is considerate OF
the homeseekers and is not going to
make them go to Yuma in the sum-
mer TO settle on the Indian lands
when they are opened. 1t is going
to wait for the cool weather and let
them get used to things before the
next heated term comes on. Uncle
Sam is wise; Yuma climate is fine
when you get used to 1t and 1t Is
never so bad as 1t has a reputation OF
being, but 1t would strike an eastern
er as being pretty mean II he hap
pened to settle down there abolt
June, July or August, and he might
get dissatisfied. With a winter spent
there, however, he would be ready
for the summer heat next year and
would stick, for Yuma winters have
few rivals for pleasantness.-El

Suggestions for Christmas Gifts

things are done with them that it is
well worth while to look the field over
before starting out to make up ones
Christmas list of gifts which are to
be made by hand. Fascinating desk
sets. photograph frames. lamp and
candle shades, waste baskets, sets of
boxes for the dressing room, ETC.. are
now made Of paper. which is quite as
beautiful in design and coloring and
not nearly so expensive or chintz 1t
has also the advantage of being much
easier to make up because. while the
chintz articles must be sewn. IL Is
only necessary to paste the paper
ones. 1t must be remembered. how
ever, that the utmost neatness is
necessary in making up these paper
things. The slightest mistake will show
and crooked edge or rumpled corner
make the article quite impossible as a
gift.
Any girl who is able to paint with
water co1ors has within her power the
possibility Of making every little girl
of her acquaintance excessively de-
lighted with her Christmas gift. There
are few little girls of doll age who are
not more interested in paper dolls than
I'm any other kind OF dolls. because 1t
is possible to have such large fam
lily OF them and for each one such
enormous wardrobes.
There is usually great rivalry among
little girls over the perfection and
beauty Of their paper dolls and their.
wardrobes, and any big girl, sister,
cousin or friend. who presents a hand
painted paper doll and her hand paint
ed wardrobe to small girl on Christ
mas will be pretty sure to find her
gift appreciated. The doll will have
the great advantage of not being dupli-

Making Ones ODn Portieres

M\ is an interesting occupation, and
no girl need despair of being able
to accomplish this design because she
happens to be neither an embroiderer
nor particularly skilled in other sorts
of needle work.
There are so many different styles
of portieres now considered fashionable
that any girl who is able to do ordinary
needle work will find that some one
of the designs is within her possibili-
ties.
Embroidered portieres Of course
come first, and those of satin, moire,
velvet or net are very handsome and
elaborate or simple and charming as
taste dictates, or the other furnishing
of the apartment for which they are
intended DEGREES. The embroidery may
be used alone or supplemented with
applique, which is generally the case
nowadays. Net curtains and portieres
are lined with silk. and the same silk
or satin is used as an applique, being
applied to the fabric with gold cord.
On the satin curtains the applique Is
frequently entirely OF heavy gold cord,
and the sewing of these motifs to
fine drapefy is a piece of work not to
be undertaken lightly.
There are. however. many much
simpler portieres which are more suit
able to the apartment of the average
girl. These are of dull, soft SILK, on
which there is an applique of flowers
cut from lowered silk or velvet, or
perhaps a trimming of gold thread
worked in simple outline stitch.
