making preparations for dash to IL

making preparations for a dash to the
north pole next July by means of bal
looms and aeroplanes. Undeterred by
the fate of Andre and the failure of
Wellman, Mr.. Nitzche will make the
attempt along novel lines. He will
carry to the island of Spitzbergen
three balloons, and probably in addi-
ton an aeroplane. Spitzbergen is
1,035 miles north of the arctic circle
and several hundred miles east of the
north coast of Greenland. If the
weather is good he will have a
straight course to travel until he
reaches his goal. The island of Spitz-
bergen was carefully inspected last
summer by Mr.. Nitzche, who with a
party of 80 made preliminary trip
on the steamship Kongharold. The
weather during the survey was so mild
that Mr.. Nitzche was encouraged to
believe that with good fortune the
coming summer would be also mod
crate one and he would not be com

WHAT WIFE SAYS "GoEs."
But It Sometimes Is Bad for the
Painting.

When a property-owner knows moth
ing about paint it is bad for the
property.owner, and bad for the paint
er. 1t would not be SO il the property
owner would always hire skilled
painter, and then really leave every
thing to him. But the house.owner so
often fools himself on one Or the other
of these things.
The skilled painter in every commu-
nifty has some of the most incompetent
competitors that ever veXed consci
entious workman or contractor, and
the incompetents get jobs generally by
working cheap. In the next place,
when the skilled painter is hired, they
do not leave everything to him, as so
many property-owners boast they do.
They interfere most ignorantly and
most fatally. They insist sometimes
on using paint materials without in
vestigating whether they are good or
not. Or perhaps they insist on the
painters hurrying the work.
I'm not going to have that painters
mess around my house a month"; the
wife says, and what wife says goes
at the cost of lot of wasted painting
money.
If the painter stays away few
days TO allow the paint to thoroughly
dry the owner says: THAT painters
neglecting this work-guess he's side
tracking me for Jones' work. l won't
stand it."
What chance does painterhave to do
good work for man who is continually
nagging at him and otherwise handi-
Gaping him without meaning it, of
course)? A poor job is the inevitable
result of such interference.
Poor painting costs the houseowner
money-don't forget that. 1t might
pay you to get the practical paint
book, painting specifications and in
strument for detecting paint adul-
terants, which National Lead Co. are
offering under the title of House
Owners Painting Outfit No. 40. Ad-

FATHER HAD A GRIEVANCE.
Some Excuse for His Violent Assault
on Managing Editor.

Lima Cavalieri. the beautiful Roman

beauty parlor' in New York:
Beauty is womans most important
attribute. She who increases beauty
is woman's greatest benefactor. Hus-

inmost hearts beauty is the thing they
desire most to see in their feminine
relations"
She laughed.

FOR AN ALL-BLACK COSTUME
Always Well to Have One for Genuine
Service, and Here is Splen-
did Model.

There is quite a return to the once
popular fashion of having black frock
for genuine service. Every woman,
even with an elaborate wardrobe,
knows there are some hours when
everything seems to be in need of
cleaning or mending.
For just such occasions she has
smart one-piece frock of black hang
ing in the closet. 1T is made of fine
silk wolfe, for there has been found
no better fabric for this purpose. 1t
fits the figure, has an added belt of
patent leather run through slides Of
watered silk, and is fastened down
the back with hooks and eyes.
The skirt clears the groun by two
inches and has a hem of black wa
tered silk The sleeves are elbow
or three-quarter length. Each woman
is in a go-as-you-please race concern
| ing sleeves, and knows she is in the
fashion as long as she keeps them
small.
The top of this frock is laid in
small folds from shoulder to belt, has
a round yoke of black chiffon cloth
in Egyptian design and shallow up
per yoke of that heavy Venetian lace
that wears SO well.
This lace is repeated in a marrow
pear-shaped armhole that runs hall
way to the waist, and the black sleeve
have a wide band of it around tn
middle.
With black, purple of grass-gree
hat and patent leather shoes, any won
an is smartly frocked.

ErijIs of FOOTING.

Plated frills of white tulle footing
are much in evidence on pretty blouses
of colored foulard. They are intend
ed, it is true, to be worn with the sep
arate skirt. but the colors should
match, thus making the dress at least
harmonious, if not a true example of
the one-piece frock.
The footing trill usually is edged
with little strip of straight or bias
silk like the blouse, and its covered
buttons and small bow tie are of plain
foulard to match the general color
| scheme.

Pettiooats for Babies.

Tiny little sleeves with tiny little
arms. but the latter always slipping
out of the former, make the petticoat
a great nuisance to the mother, and
for this reason the princess, which
simnly slips over the head and but
tons at the shoulders, is preferred by
many. The only opening in the GO :
ment is at the shoulders, where lit
tie button and buttonhole are all that
is needed to keep the narrow straps
together. The new baby's petticoat
affords no elusive armhole for the
struggling arms, which are almost
bound to go the wrong way.

In Pastel coIors.

Plain materials are much easier OF
construction than are those of striped,
barred and Powered material. Per
haps it is this that has made the deli
cate pastel-colored batiste a favorite
with the home dressmaker
The fact remains that many of the
more expensive sheer linen models in
these delicate tones are copied by the
amateur in the less expensive ba
tiste.
A favored method of finishing the
batiste frock is the basting togethel
of its various parts and the holding
of them in place by very close ant
even Misunderstanding.
