There are no ends of the collarbone ex- cept at each side of the back, and here the ends are turned under three-eighths of an inch, so no sharp points can pro- ject The collarbone is stitched by ma chine to the mousseline collar When one of these prepared foundations is used 1t Is fitted to the neck of the guinpe, then covered with lace matching that of the chemisette.

THE LATEST GUIMPE

run length of tape through all the loops and tie 1t around the waist
 The guinpe is usually cut long enough to extend few inches below the bust, and continue, on a corresponding line on the figure, across the sides and back, but even if it be cut shorter, the loops will hold 1t down. The greater length is, of course, preferable when sleeves are included, though in any case 1t will be more satisfactory to have the guimpe ex- tend at least two inches below the un- der-asn.

and pin the trimming, in the same posi- tions, to the other side.
 At the second illustration is shown the method of insetting solid piece of lace, avoiding a seam at the shoulder. All-over lace may be used, though in this case it was an odd piece of ten-inch deep lace founcing, the edges being joined at the shoulders by tapping the back DOT ton over the front, and appliqueing the lace design on the latter to the net top of the lace used for the front portion. It is an easy matter. after the guirnpe is fitted and the shoulder-seams completed.

STEAMED FRUIT PUDDING

Sift together one and three-quarter cupfuls of flour, half level teaspoonfu1 each of soda and cinnamon. and fourth of teaspoonful each of cloves and nut meg; add one and half cupfuls fruit raisins, entrants and citron mixed-and mix thoroughly. Melt a fourth of cup full of butter in half a cupful of hot mo- lasses, add half a cupful of milk, and stir gradually into the flour mixture Tura into well-buttered half-pound cocoa or baking powder cans, and steam about an hour and half. Serve with hard sauce. Dates or figs chopped fine make an agree able change in place of the fruits given
 ENTIRE WHEAT PUDDING

Mold and steam. Serve with hard or lemon sauce. This very excel lent pudding. and a most pa1atab1e one, requires no eggs, which is a desirable ad- vantage when eggs are scarce and high.

which our people are not to be blamed
for wanting to relieve, if it is possible
to do it.
But, back to the subject, we want
short line to Denver. Our people seek
it and we have a field which not only
demands it. but which will make it re-
numerative to the railroad company
building it. And we're going to try to
get it,
The INDEPENDENT proposes to keep

an invitation is extended to people who
wish, to write their opinions on the
matter in short articles which will be

Quite a bit of favorable comment
reached this office since last week S

accompanying map sketch.
1t is the purpose of the INDEPENDENT
to make this subject department each
week until it snail have the desired
efrect-to attract attention to the field
and its railroad needs-or until there
shall be a good reason for disseminating
it
In the Denver newspaper dispatches
the first of this week was one to the
effect that the Colorado Southern now
had millions TO turn loose in Colorado
for improvements.
Ii will no doubt be part of the plans
of the c. & S. If it undertakes to make
these very extensive improvements. to
broad guage its narrow-guage track ge
extending from Denver to Leadville and
from Denver to Gunnison.
In doing this it will not be unlikely
that new fields like this could tempt it
TO build into them.
That the entrance into this valley
by the C. & 5. would be matter of
great Importance to Delta county, as
well as highly profitable investment
for the company. there does not seem
a reason to doubt.
As n reward to the road we have
countless train loads of fruit, live
stock, coal and produce. aside from
passenger travel To our own advan-
tagcs we would gain n line about one
third shorter to Denver than that over
which we now have to ship.
The fact cannot be emphasized too
strongly that we need the connection
which the building of just little road
bed seems to promise. as shown by
glance at the accompanying map.
The ID. & II. G.. Colorado Southern
or Colorado Midland are. either one OF
them. able to give it to us without
great expense.
That the shippers Of this county and
those of all the territory to be bene-
fitted. would be helped by cheaper
freight rates, is no small consld grafton
in their appeal. And it is high time
they were getting some such benefits.

Nicotine.

III excessive smoking alone could
cause heart degeneration, writes cor
respondent of the London Mail, such
cases would he common instead cf eN-
tremely rare. The fact is that only an
almost intinitcsimal amount of nicotine
Is absorbed IN smoking. An ordinary
sized cigar or an ounce Of smoking to-
bacco contains enough of this virulcnt
poison to kill two men. The only rea-
son all smokers src not killed at once
is that the nicotine is destroyed In the
