POTATOES SCARCE,
PRICES ADVANCE
Also Slight Increase in To-
understanding Firm on
the Vegetable Market.

Continuation OF cooler weather had
the effect of maintaining the increased
strength recorded in yesterdays prices
on live stock. Veal calves brought ~
cents on top quality. Lambs met with
practically the same range of prices.
In the vegetable market, scarcity
Of potatoes advanced the price on that
vegetable to 81 and S2.25 per barrel.
Tomatoes also showed a slight increase
by reaching 80 cents maximum. Trad
ing on the vegetable market was firm

Sensible Fashion That Has Been We'll
coined as Relief from Burdens
Long Borne.

The popular tendency to fasten all
women's garments in front has caused
a general atmosphere of comfort that
is hard to overestimate. Blouses be-
gan to fasten in front last winter and
sensible women at once took advan-
tage of the fashion. Petticoats of all
kinds were made to hook or clamp
down the left front so there might
not be placket or plaits at back. Linen
and pongee outer skirts all fasten
down the left middle front with large
buttons and combination underwear,
which is taking the place of all others
to-day, buttons down the front.
With this convenient fastening of
all garments it is only natural that
women should go in strongly for the
corset that laces in front. 1t not only
gives excellent shape to the back and
permits the frock to fit without wrin-
kle, but it allows woman to get in
to it with ease and freedom.
1t has always been tiresome feat
to hold the arms back of the body
in order to lace the corsets with
nicely; no fatigue is caused by the
modern method.
1t is a matter of congratulation
that women have adopted all the SEN
sible garments that fasten in front. 1t
lifts much of the burden of dressing.
The Colorado statesman., 1909-06-12
FOR THE HOURS OF SLUMBER
Embroidered Silk Pajamas Have
Caught the Fancy of Up-to-Date
Matrons and Maids.

Woman has now become thoroughly
identified with pajamas, and particu-
larly in summer does she affect this
garment in which Robert Chambers
Iole and her sisters were wont to
haunt the environs of the House
Beautiful"
Indeed, for travelling and for wear
at the seashore and mountain the
masculine sleeping garb possesses
great advantage over the other gar
ment.
1t is but natural that the adoption
of pajamas by women would result in
the introduction of more esthetic and
colorful models, and consequently the
latest pajamas for women are so
sumptuous that the Princess Schehe--
azade herself would look quite at home
in them.
For they are now exploited in deli
cately colored silks in odd shades,
such as water blue, ashes or roses and
pale almond green.
Furthermore they are embroidered
in oriental tone in wash silk.
To reduce the cost of these delicate
garments many girls buy the plain
silk pajamas and then embroider them
at home.
The Colorado statesman., 1909-06-12
Sachets.

If you wish delicate odor on all
of your lingerie articles, make sachets
for the bureau and dresser drawers.
Get silkaleen or thin flowered materi-
al and purchase pound of dry hell
otrope flowers at any druggists. Any
fragrant flowers that give forth a
pleasant and lasting odor can be used.
Crush the flowers and put a handful
or two into the bag. Lay the bag in
the bottom of the drawer and put the
articles in, close drawer and when the
articles are taken out the next day,
or at any future time, the odor will
he noticeable. yet not strong like the
ordinary perfumes. The dried laven-
der is more lasting than the ordinary
sachet, unless sandalwood is used,
but that is too pungent unless mixed
with other powders.
The Colorado statesman., 1909-06-12

the woman who prefers to get this
part of her wardrobe ready made will
fud the spun silk petticoat with taf-
feta bottom an admirable choice. The
dust colors and sweet-gum browns are
the most serviceable colors for the
petticoat OF course every woman
knows that silk sheds the dust more
readily than cotton.
Petticoats which wash and yet al
ways look new, may be made of ging-
ham or calico, and if the gown and
coat colors are considered when the
petticoat color is selected. the effect
when the skirt is lifted is always
good.
The coat needs of the pretty maid
of ten summers or so are considered
in our illustration.
This neat little coat is one of the
trimmest and most sensible of the
seasons designs for girls, and while
of service at any time, it would be in
valuable for travelling. Blue serge,
trimmed with silk or wool braid, is a
good choice of materials, and if the
braid has a touch of red in the weave
it will be still smarter.
The broadly trimmed hat is excel
lent for little heads which still wear
the hair flowing; and though small
coats are often dark, the accompany
ing hat may be of light straw decked
with gay flowers.

sides with silk cord. Across the up
per part band of ribbon is sewn in
series of little loops through which
the hat-pins may be slipped, and then
pressed into the cushion.
At the extreme lower edge, four
large dress-hooks are sewn on, and
for appearance sake, should be bound
round with ribbon, and on which may
be hung keys, rings. bracelets, or a
watch, perhaps. The space above the
pincushion can be prettily embroi
dered with some little floral design
and there is loop of ribbon with
bow at the top, attached to the back
by which this useful little article may
be suspended from the wall.

Combined Key Rack, Pin Cuchion and
Hat-Pin Holder Designed to Hang

The ingenious little arrangement
shown in our sketch is intended for
hanging upon the wall by the side of

many ways. The back portion is COM
posed of square piece of stout card
board, and this is entirely covered,
both back and front, with silk, chosen
in some pretty shade of color and
edged all around with a silk cord of a
color to match or harmonize with the
material.

owed its original invention to some
accident, famine or emergency. 1t
comes in powder form.
The average table-d'hot idea of
curry is watery chicken stew with
little curry-powder thrown into it at
the last moment. The real thing is
quite different
Almost any flesh food can be cur
ried TO the queens taste, but chicken
is the most popular. For this dish
pfocure a good-sized stewing fowl;
3 also, if desired, couple of pounds of
veal outlet Skin the fowl and cut
the meat in pieces. Slice an onion
and fry III butter to which table,
spoonful of curry powder has been
added. Then put in the meat, pour in
some water, cover the kettle and let
simmer by the hour over slow fire.
1t may be well to reinforce the cur
ry flavor by adding another spoonful
of powder, as the boiling proceeds.
Keep it irrigated, so as not to burn
or scorch. Just before serving put on
a blanket of 'thickening," made with
either flour or cornstarch.
Rice is boiled in the eastern fashion
as follows: Throw half cupful of
rice into a large kettle two-thirds full
of salted boiling water; leave it to
boil 20 minutes, strain through a col
.ander, then steam five minutes over
a tea kettle, until the separate ker-
nels are light and dry Rice, thus
prepared, accompanies all curries.
The curry should be placed in the
center of large platter with the rice
piled around it as a border. Cut mar
. row stripes of sweet red Spanish pep
pers and place in crosses on the rice
as a garnish. Green peppers also can
be used to enhance the color scheme.
Serve also a dish of grated young
,cocoanut, dish of chutney, some
Madras pickles and possibly a scoop
of guava jelly.
Bombay duck (Which is no duck at
all, but small dried fish, is another
Hindoostanee hot relish, which doubt
less would be more popular with occi'
a Adentals if it did not smell to heaven
when warmed up in the oven.
In making beef curry the round Is
used, the process being the same as
with chicken, except that not-too
tart apple or two may be utilized for
the thickening, being stewed with the
meat after it has been boiling three
hours.
