j. II. Morrow Sounds Note of
Warning to Commercial
Club Members.
SAYS WALLA WALLA
MUST KEEP AWAKE
Spokane and Seattle Are in
Field for New
Building.

j. H Morrow sounded a note OF
warning at the weekly luncheon of
the Commercial club in the Dacres
hotel this afternoon by saying it was
high time the club took some action
looking to the establishment in Walla
Walla of the knights of Pythias home,
for which the local order is working.
Mr.. Morrow said it was such institu-
tions that went to form a great city,
and that Walla Walla was in line for
just such things. Seattle and Spo-
kane are casting their glances upon
the proposed home but as this city
was first in the field, it is the feeling
of local Pythians and business men
in general that the claim should be
recognized.
A committee was appointed last
fall from Columbia lodge. No s,
knights of Pythias, and members have
since been working in the endeavor
TO interest Pythians in other parts
of the state in giving this city some
consideration. The question of where
the home shall be located will be de-
cided by a vote of the grand lodge at
it's meeting to be held in Seattle this
summer, and through the campaign
work being done in favor of this city,
tit is not improbable that Walla Walla
will be the location of the new in
stitution.
A 20 per cent per capita tax was
levied last year by the Knights or
Pythias grand lodge, the proceeds to
revert to a builying and maintenance
fund. Since the committee from CO.
lumbia lodge was appointed. Seattle
and Spokane have become aspirants
for the honor of securing the new
home. and present indications give
rise to the belief that there will be
something of a contest when the
question is put to the vote of the
grand lodge.
May Donate Site.
Now that the matter has been called
to theattention of the Commercial
club the board of trustees will PROB
ably act upon it, if only to give the
moral support of the organization. II
Is nrohable. however, in the face OF
the efforts being expended by Seattle
and Spokane. that a site VIII pc
chosen here. and some concessions
Granted in order that the Garden City
NAV he first in the consideration or
the grand body at its 1909 session.
Climatic conditions in the Walla
Walla valley are being advanced as
one of the strongest arguments IN
favor of giving Southeastern Wash
ington and this county the honor, as
il is held the wet and cloudy weather
of the west side of the state would be
UNPLEASANT for the aged Pythians who
will spen d their declining days in the
home Members of the local order
NAV cooperate with the Commercial
club in working for the home, which
will be a source of mutual beneft.

OUR CORNER
BALANCED HANDKERCHIEF.

- HIS trick Is so simple that the
yeriest amateur will be able to
perform 1t quite easily, while 1t
is effective enough to be presented on
any stage. A large cambria handker-
chief is borrowed and rolled ropewise;
then one end is rested upon the top
of the finger and balanced. That Is the
effect, and this Is the secret of the per-
Torrance. First obtain a piece of
whalcbone, or, failing that, a piece of
stout wire, about twenty inches long.
To The cnd of this fix a ishhooK, and
then push this piece of apparatus up
the left sleeve. Take the borrowed
handkerchief by the corners d~iagonally,
and twist it round in the form of a
rope; then attempt to balance it upon
the fret finger of the left hand. The
first attempt will, of course, be unsuc-
Nessfub and the handkerchief will drop
(pwn. Now take the top corner of the
handkerchief between the thumb and
first finger of the right hand, n hook
IT to the top of the piece of whale
bone protruding from the top of your
sleeve; drag this through your left
hand SO that the handkerchief hides
the apparatus. Directly the whole
lengthNof the support has been pulled
OUT of the sleeve, the handkerchief
must again be twisted into a rope.
which readily. forms round the whale
hone. In this cordition, If the hand
kerchief is placed upon your fnger-tip,,
IT will be found quite easy to balance.
The corner liked to the book must be
at the top, thereby preventing the
handkerchief from slipping down. The
handkerchief can be balanced upon
your nose equally well, and in fac a
variety of suggestions will occur to the
performer now that he knows the secret
Of stiffening the square OF cambria.
Even when the whalebone Is in posi-
tor and everything ready to perform
the trick. 1t Is always advisable to
make one or two attempts before allow
ing the HANDKERCHIEF to sand upright.
An additional effect may be obtained by
passing our hand round the side and
top, SO as to prove the absence of any
strings or wires.

SUMMER BEDDING.

inexpensive as ordinary cheesecloth
is. it makes excellent summer bed COM
forts if lined with split cotton and
baby ribbons. True. these comforts
will not wash without color fading,
but they are so very inexpensive that
one could afford new ones when Old
ones were too badly soiled for use
Pale blue cloth, knotted with pink,
yellow or blue. is very pretty; lavender
knotted with white is equally attrac-
tive and white knotted with green is
cool looking for summer.

DARK LINEN SUITS.

The shops have fortunately
gotten far away from the cheap,
glazed linen suit of some seasons
ago. The usefulness of the
coarse, undressed linen that does
not crack and wrinkle has been
found out.
This material will take the
highest place. for the ordinary
coat suits and one-plece frocks
of the day. The new colors are
quite enchanting in it. The
fashionable ones are purple,
mulberry. Copenhagen blue,
bronze and dull green.
These make serviceable suits
and serve better than one apiece
frocks for street and train wear
They give the chance to renew
and freshen ones blouses. which
cannot be done in a one-piece
frock.
The styles in these dull linen
suits are quite simple. When
they become ornate they lose
their effectiveness. They should
be severely plain and tailored
with s%even-gored OF circular
skirt. The tight-itting yoke cut
round or in points may be used
If ones figure can stand 1t.
The coat Is cut to the knees or
half way between knees and
hips. is single-breasted. fastened
with colored bone buttons and
has fiat pockets On each side.

! FLAT POCKETS AT HIPS.

One of the Directoire fashions that
has not died Is the long fiat pocket al
the hips. They are used as trimming
although the prudent and sensible
woman has them as flaps for real
pockets, for she is not the kin to
carry everything in a dangling purse.
These flaps are quantity shaped,
quite conspicuous in size n trimmed
with soutache, wide braid and buttons.
They are used on linen. pongee, sum-
mer cheviot and any of the new a b
RIGS that go to make coat suits.
One must be careful to get them at
the right spot on the figure, so they
will not increase the size of the hips.
No woman wants to confess that she
has hips these days, and therefore 1t is
a g~rievous error to put a piece of trim
ming over the spot where the hips have
vanished.

Relaxing is an art not dificult

Relaxing is an art not difficult
to acquire.
Just hop, limbering every joint
in your body, as a baby does.
Don't allow any stiffness to re-
main anywhere in your anatomy
Begin with your neck and
think about every joint from
there down to your toes, until
they are loose.
Then try to think of nothing
whatever or of something trivial
and pleasant.
Fifteen minutes passed in this

hours of restless, troubled sleep.
Your nerves will regain their

Asparagus salad.

This is made of the cooked and
drained asparagus. Chill thoroughly,
put in the salad bowl and cover with q
French dressing made to suit the taste
OF the family. A good proportion for
most people is a Tablespoonful salt,
a tablespoonful white pepper or pap
rika, foul tablespoonfuls olive oil and
one tablespoonful vinegar or lemon
juice. Mix well-and the easiest way to
do this at the table is to put in a bottle
and shake to an emulsion-then dress
the salad, which should be served on
tender lettuce leaves.
