METAL DESK SETS POPULAR
silver, Brass and Copper Used in
Large and Ornate De-
signs.

Large and ornate are the new desk sets
for women and men. For the latter they
are elaboraely executed and of bright ma
terials that a few years ago would have
been considered unsuitable.
A combination of metals, or metal and
glass, is the characteristic OF these new
designs. One beautiful desk equipment for
a library seen recently was of green
shaded glass overset with a filigree of
brass so fine it looks like gold. Most of
the work is done by hand, and so the cost
is considerable.
Rarely does one see a small set for what
was known a few years ago as a 'lady's"
desk. Writing" and kidney shaped tables
having taken the place to a large extent
of the sloping top desks formerly affected,
greater space is given for display, and GER
tainly it is utilized more. Inkwells are
we'll indeed, the smallest holding at least
a gill of liquid. In many sets there are
two pots, they being on a tray Of notice
ably large dimensions, which serves also
to hold pens. AS a rule there seems to
be a preference for square rather than
round effects, the corners OF all the articles
shown following the same angles.
A lacquered brass, entirely plain, but ex-
tremely large, is shown among the newest
sets. Brass. indeed. is the favorite metal,
although for mems business desks there
are some striking effects in copper, hand
wrought. .
A serviceable and artistic design is plain,
highly polished brass with inlay OF copper,
the two metals combining admirably. All
metal sets have the advantage OF not stain
ing with ink which falls. and are easily
cleaned.
Leather throughout a set has almost en-
tirely disappeared. Except In portfolios
and corners done for pads; silver. too. is
passe, perhaps because the size OF the
articles makes the price almost prohibi-
tive.
II an entire set is purchased the cost
amounts to an extraordinary sum-, for the
articles are many. They include an ink
well, desk blotter and pen tray, a hand
blotter. stamp box, clip or case for letters.
a paper knife, letter opener, pen and pencil,
as we'll as a case for holding paper and en-
velopes. Not infrequently clocks are
mounted to match. The first three articles.
however, may be called a set, and given as
a present.

Soiled Gloves Injure

ANY kind Of cold cream-indced,
grease Of any sort-will have a bene-
fetal effect, the object being to sup
ply the oils that cold and water ex-
tract. Wearing gloves at night is one
Of the best means Of softening n
whitening the hands, care being taken
that the gloves are large enough not
to interfere with circulation, and holes
punched through the palms will admit
air and make the hands more COM
Portable. The gloves should be white
or gray, as a dark color may be in
furious.
There is no simpler and at the same
time better method for healing and
whitening chapped hands than the APP
plication of sweet almond OIL and pow
dered magnesia or French chalk be-
fore retiring.
After washing and wIping the fin
gers thoroughly they should be soaked
in warm almond oil for five minutes.
The larger quantity Of the oil is
gently patted off, leaving an apprecia-
BILE amount. The hands are then
dipped into the white powder and later
large gloves are drawn on.
This method repeated nightly for a
week will cure obstinate cases of
chapping. Glycerine and rose water
should be used throughout the day
after washing the hands when they
chap easily.

Society to Spend Summer
at Home and Enjoy Clubs

Prospects have never been brighter for
Omaha's country clubs than they are this
season; IN fact, not since the year the Coun-
try club was opened has society manifested
such interest or planned to enjoy its
privileges as It is doing this spring. And
there Is good reason for this. Scores OF
people are building this year or have re-
Gently completed new homes and they will
remain In town to superlntend construction
or enjoy the reward Of recent vexations.
This Is one reason that so many have
taken their vacations early this season, al
though man. Omahans, especially those
who have summer places near by. prefer
doing their travelling I'm the winter or dur
ing Lent and remaining at home during
the heated term.
Several members OF the dcbutante and
younger sets who usually go to tho lakes
will be at home this season and the clubs
will be the more attractive for the presence
OF these young people, who contribute SO
much to society.

@0IRLS who complain that their
y hands always look dirty
- should inspect the inside OF
SFN their gloves, for IL the latter
e. are pulled on when Tho
hands are not entirely clean and the
kid becomes soiled, every time the
gloves are worn afterward they rub
dirt on the skin. So care should be
taken to prevent this, or II such con-
dition exists the gloves must either be
cleansed professionally or not worn
again.
In cold weather some preparation to
rub on the kin each time the hands
are washed should be kept on the
dressing table, for a low temperature
has the effect Of drying the skin, n
II there is the least hardness in the
water the roughness is intensified i'm
measurably.
OF using a mixture OF glycerine and
rose water, or glycerine n even
plain water, I am a strong advocate.
The proportion for either Is one-third
glycerine to two-thirds water, plain or
perfumed, ten drops of carbolic acid
being added to a half pint Of the mix
ture. This acid is healing. The prep
ration is wiped over the hands after
they have been washed and dried, and
any excess Of the lotion is wiped off.

larly.

To prevent the inroads of moths, which
often attack the felt which surrounds the
notes at the back Of the keyboard OF a
piano, tie small bags of camphor into the
corners Of the instrument. The board in
front should be removed occasionally and
the felt examined, as great damage can
be done once the moths attack the felt.

Robert Parks Poisoned

Ambrose Parks received a tele-
gram Friday afternoon from Kan
sas City telling of his brothers
death. He made quick race for
the train from his home five miles
north of town and arrived at the
depot just in time to catch the
evening passenger. Arriving at
his brothers. home he found them
very much worked up over the
the sudden death and the fact
that the coroner had taken the
remains away. The coroner's ver-
dict was that death resulted from
ptomaine poisoning caused by
eating a chocolate pie, and this
report has gone out through the
daily press. Mr.. Parks made a
careful inquiry of his own and
does not agree with the verdict.
His brother, he says worked very
hard and Thursday it will be re-
membered was an unusually hot
day. At dinner that day he and
his family ate a chocolate pie
bought at the grocery, but which
did not affect the rest of the fam
lily. After dinner he was suddenly
seized with terrible pains in the
stomach. A physician was called
and did what he could for him but
he died in great pain Friday at
p. m. Mr.. Parks says his brother
undoubtedly became over heated
and the poison generated in his
system.
Robert Parks was 81 years old
and leaves his wife and three chill

thinking what to do to pass the
time away. Boys generally find
the way and they were not excep-
tions to the rule. Going up stairs
they found a box of ammunition,
shells, powder, caps, ETC., they
thinking it would be nice to un-
load one of the shells and get the
shot 50 they could use them in
their bean shooter. Taking a
brass shell they examined it care
fully to find out how to get the
desired result and noticing that
the shells having no load in them
that the cap had depression in
the center so they took the shell
and placed it on the floor with the
cap up, one of the boys holding il
in position while the other placed
a punch on the cap and hit il
with the hammer. The first lick
made slight depression and they
tried a second time. An explosion
occurred tearing the shell into
parts some of which cut small
gashes in ,Linn's hand and arm
and some cutting Carl's hand. Nc
damage was done but the lesson
was taught which they are not liza
BILE to forget.
