A Novel Shower.

A dozen girls who lived for years
as neighborhood friends showered one
Of their number, who is to be De-
cember bride, in this unusual manner:
The hostess asked them all to meet
at her house informally at two
o'clock, the bride-elect was asked to
come at three. In this way the host
ess explained her scheme, which was
as follows. She had material for each
one to make the following articles:
"A busting cap, three busters, a broom
bag, ironing holder, laundry bag, kitch-
en- apron, clothespin bag, roller towel
and a case to wind linen dOilies on.
The entire cost was added and divided
equally and then each article was
wrapped in tissue paper, tied with rib
bon and hidden throughout the rooms.
chatted awhile, then the hostess an
nounced that fairy godmother had
conf1ded to her that there were pack
ages of value concealed within the
portals of the room, to be discovered
only by bride-elect and to the tune
of bridal music. Whereupon the host
ess sat down to the piano and played
wedding marches while the merry lit
tie bride hunted the hidden treasures,
guided by the loud or soft tones on
the piano. All the packages being dis
covered, they were opened and the
girls all set to work on which ever
piece they chose. They pronounced
this utility Shower" and it certain
ly was practical, for the guest of honor
said her mind was so in the clouds
that she had never even dreamed of
the articles presented. Besides it was
jolly afternoon. Refreshments were
English toasted mullins, orange mar
malade, preserved ginger and delicious
tea, brewed by the hostess.

CARE OF THE TABLE LINEN
Best Quality Will Quickly Spoil II Not
Handled In the Proper.
Manner.

The careful keeping of table linen
will mean more toward perfect ta-
BILE than perhaps the quality of
the linen itself. The most ex-
quisite table linen will look no better
than the poorest quality if it be
thrown into a too small drawer or
closet.
Just a pair of tablecloths will go
further If they are kept we'll flattened
or, better still, rolled on pasteboard
or wooden roller than a dozen ill-kept
ones.
All centerpieces, If not rolled,
should be spread fiat, in a full-sized
box or a linen-covered portfolio. The
portfolio is a reliable addition to the
dining room or pantry, and it may be
made at home by covering two pieces
of pasteboard with tan-colored linen
or crash, Ringing them together with
coarse linen thread or with narrow
ribbon strips an inch in length, so
that the portfolio will hold more fiat
linen pieces. This, when filled, is
tied together with ribbons and kept in
a napkin drawer, where even the sud-
den rush for napkins can no longer
wrinkle the embroidered linens.

Waste of Oak Trees

There is no more striking example
on the Pacific coast of the ruthless
destruction of timber than that which
follows the gathering of oak tanbark.
In the counties of Humboldt and Men.
docino in California the industry of
securing oak tanbark has attained
considerable proportions. Oak trees
IS inches to'3 IL feet in diameter up
to 40 feet to the limbs, are not uncom.
mon. To secure this bark the trees
are felled and the bark is stripped.
The timber is left untouched on the
ground to rot. Until railroad trans.
portation can be furnished this waste
will probably continue. The bark in
many instances is secured from indi.
vidual claims, taken up by homestead.

ORCHARD NOTES.

Stop cultivation now to allow the
wood to harden for winter.
Trim the apple trees just enough to
let the air and sunlight in to rlpen
the fruit.
On tree that is properly pruned
most of the fruit will be found on the
inside branches.
A tree that is infested with insects
will not thrive any better than a pig
covered with lice.
In breaking up the orchard sod ii
you cannot use disk use a pillow with
a narrow shear and use a short single
tree.
Barnyard manure is the best fer
tilizer for an orchard, but on old neg
lected soils the ground should first
be plowed before the manure is ap-
piled.
A dust mulch would prevent the
evaporation of the moisture in the
orchard just the same as in the open
field. Then why not use it? Some
men do not put knife or saw into
their orchard for four or five years,
then in a fit OF enthusiasm they cut
and slash, doing more harm than good.

most beautiful affair. The invitations
are lettered in gold engraving and
ask you to arrive between the hours
of eight and ten. The decorations
throughout the rooms are to be in
yellow, consisting of showers of gilt
wedding bells. which are to swing

pended by yellow tulle and yellow
satin ribbon over the heads of the
couple where they will stand to re.
ceive congratulations. This corner is
to be made perfect bower of greens
studded with yellow chysanthemu,ns
Brass candlesticks holding yellow can
dies are to stand on piano, mantel
bookcases, etc. The honored bride will
carry bouquet composed of so vel
low roses, and the refreshments are tc
be orange ice, New York ice cream

the bonbons are to be wrapped in gill
paper. Gilt bell-shaped boxes are tc
be given as souvenirs, bearing the

And not the least agreeable of the

he queried.
Langford colored, but made no re-
ply. He had taken the southern trip
principally for his health, and from
the first time that his eyes had rested
upon Dora Manton the girls soft
dreamy eyes, sweet face and gentle
manner had made a deep impression
upon him. Stairway had noticed this
and was we'll pleased. He liked the
