Things Grecian.

The vogue for the Grecian filet makes one pause and wonder whether we will, ere long, be adopting another custom of these beautiful women of southern Eu- rope. It is that of wearing a tiny patch of gold on the face much as the tiny pieces of black were worn in the days of long ago. To be sure, the Grecian woman wears it only when she is a bride, but that would in no way deter Americans from adopting the style if they saw fit.
 Speaking of these patches. the black ones which were. worn in the days of Elizabeth possessed special names ae- cording to the position on ones face. If the patch was on the forehead it was termed the majestic" if on the nose if was spoken of as the 'saucy;" on the lips it was always called the "roguish, D while on the middle of the cheek the
 gallant was it's name. Nearer the eve itself 1t bore the direful name, the "mur- derous''

Peacock Feathers In Fashion

It doesn't necessarily follow that one must follow the old adage and be as vain as a peacock to be interested in the decoration of her house for somewhere within its recesses she must boast some of the beautiful feathers of the proud and naughty bird
 Many years ago when the arrangement of interiorf decorations were simple, the peacock feathers were largely used
 The era of the over-crowded room with it's rococo ornamentation with endless cushions, bric-a-brac and i'll assorted pie lures was fearful era in house arrange ment
 Perhaps the genius of the great William Morris did more to submerge it and bring back elegant simplicity than the work of any one else
 In those simple days, three or four long, beautiful. peacock feathers in colonial or East Indian vase were con sidered decoration enough for center table mantel, or the top of a book case.
 This fashion has now returned and among the best class of people and the most artistic simplicity and elegance, outelass everything else.
 Of course in the room which is still oVercrowded, the peacock feathers are out of place. They lend themselves only to the Japanese treatment.

The fact evil dently aroused the suspicious of the de- fense for a lengthy conference followed Then to the surprise of everyone they challenged him peremptorily.
 William flows. aged 55. farmer. was accepted as the twelfth juror. Tmme- diately after he was chosen Attorney General McCarn objected to the jury being sworn and said Information has come to the state which we have not had time to investigate concerning two men already chosen on the jury. I sup- gest that the balance of the present venre be retained until we can investi- gate the charge and decide upon our course''
 Acting upon this information Judge Hart adjourned court until g o'clock Sat urday.

The Grooming of the Debu-
 tante.

Said the beauty specialist few days ago.
 "The first need of the debutante as indeed of any woman who values her good looks, is to learn to look young. My work is to prescribe long walks to keep her slim, and to teach her how to make her grooming absolutely perfect. The face, the hands, the feet, must be kept in the pink of condition and of course it requires a sacrifice of time but after all isn't it worth while?' well what is the difference between the things requisite for the older wo- men and those for the debutante?" asked the mother. of one of the prettiest Of this seasons buds.
 Precisely this,' said the beauty doc tor. "An older woman requires more sleep in the first place than the girl fresh from school and regular hours and good, plain, wholesome food. The debutante may jump out of bed in the early hours of the morning and go out for 8 brisk five mile walk before breakfast or a can ter across country while the woman on the fatal side of thirty must be getting her beauty sleep at this time" Continuing she said: "Then it is the debutante's duty to look slender. Moth ing is so awkward or unpretty as a fat debutante. The matronly air she has Is very undesirable and she looks years older than she really is, and that can all be avoided by the proper exercise and diet Then, too, the debutante must look fresh, and that is one of the very hardest things in all the wide world to attain. A box of chocolates eaten at the wrong time will make the most youth full girl look sallow. and years older. A Welsh rarebit in the wee small hours will wreck pretty complexion and ab- solute1y destroy an ugly one"
 To the interest of all concerned, the beauty doctor went on with her talk as follows:
 "If the debutante is of the delicate type.f she must have color and no self respecting debutante would resort to the rouge pot-besdes it is usually in use by her mother who has to resort to these artifces to make her young and pretty looking. Now let me tell you. that a five cent scrubbing brush of the va riety that one gets at the kitchen coun- ters in the big department stores, Is sufficient to bring the rosiest cheeks to the palest. The debutante must scrub her face with this brush vigorously-just short of removing the cuticle and soon she will see the blood coming and go- ing in the prettiest and most natural way'
 The interested group listened for hours and there were many older and wiser heads than those of the debutantes ben

T1dnQIui or dl6STncn.
 With scarcely a handful of the 519 venire men present of those summoned court opened this morning on the 23d day of the trial. The outlook for se- curing the 18th juror was not particu- larly bright. The state has three peremptory challenges left. but the de- fense has 39. Of the last venire of 800 only seven men qualified and six of these were challenged Should the same ratio of qualified jurors hold good In other venires and should both sides exercise their full challenge rights with the jury wheel empty, one can readily see how slim are the chances of com pleting the jury very soon.
 The state cannot ask change of venue. It cannot try a man unless 1t can get jury. If 1t cannot try him, he goes free.
 Theoretically that would be the re- suit of a failure to get a jury said Judge Hart. And while such a result Is possible, I consider it very improb able. l propose to get a jury if it takes another month. I shall make use of the list of tax payers in the assessors office for the next venire, should one be needed"

SUES FOR $500 DAMAGES.
Another Echo of Superior Company
Heard in Court.

There was a resounding echo of the
Superior Brick, Tile & Milling company
muddle in the district court yesterday.
when the Pioneer Land & Irrigation com
pany filed suit for damages against Ed
win T. Woolley asking for 500 damages.
Some time ago the brick and tile COM
pany was placed in the hands of a re-
CeiYer and sensational charges were made
against some OF the officers.
In the complaint filed yesterday the
Pioneer Land & Irrigation company al
leges that Dec. Il, 1908. Edwin T. WooIley
offered 1909 shares of the brick and tile
company stock, par value 81 Pc share.
in exchange for one 40-hOrsepoweT steam
boiler and one 39-hoTsepower stationary
steam engine. And this was done. the
complaint alleges, with intent to de-
ceive and defraud the plaintiff and fraud
ulently represented to il that said cor
poration was legally organized and &C
lively engaged in prosperous business.
that said stock was of the market val
ue of 800, and was fully paid Up, non
essessablc and legally issued"
Relying upon this, the plaintiff al
legeS that it was deceived. finding the
stock to be entirely worthless, and no
part of its par value paid for by the de-
fendant; that the corporation was not le-
Eally organized. and that the capital
stock was being issued by promoters to
defraud innocent stockholders, creditors
and the public"
The 1000 shares Of stock alleged to be
worthless is surrendered to the court and
damage in the sum of 500 asked.
