Well it's just struck Fargo, and
Thanksgiving night q man applying
for a room az one or the local hotels
was overheard to use 1t in his CONVEX
sation with the clerk at the desk. All
the rooms with baths were taken and
he was that disappointed he could
simply have cut his wisdom teeth. But
he didn't and he took an inside room
on the inner court with only station
airy wasbEtand. No wonder he was
vexed.
"Methinks they would build these
hotels with enough baths 20 accom-
modate the travelling public" he said
petulantIy. The telephone girl in the
corner heard him and she got fright
aned. When he was gone she laughed.
She is one of the politest girls I'm the
Fargo hotels anyway, and always the
most obliging whenever anybody wants
to use the phone. SO she wouldn't
have laughed IN the mans presence
for anything in the world

get 1t, yourself? Methinks? Well,
she stored chat word away into con-

ly busy just then,

How long have you lived in Fargo?"
asked the reporter upon being intro
duced to Mr.. Powell.
"Ok not a great length OF time"
languidly answered the rod man.
Il suppose you know John Burke?~
inquired the pencil pusher.

while the beak is painted brown. A
bright bead forms the eye and a fine
fringe Of felt encircles the neck TO

How to Make Wew Dog Collars

n attractive wedding gift for an
n intimate girl friend is one of the
new rhinestone studded velvet dog
collars. AS these collars are made
with the stones sunk in the velvet they
are most expensive but fortunately Gan
be copied at astonishingly small cost
and no great difficulty, and they are
quite the latest thing from Paris.
The wider dog collars are always
smartest. but If two and half or
two inch band of velvet is unbecoming,
then the narrower widths are permis-
sible. A band of velvet the correct
length for the neck is first cut, and
then to this piece the rhinestones are
sewed, either in even rows of equal dis
tance, apart or in some conventional
pattern, which must first be stamped on
the velvet AS one becomes more ex-
pert the pattern can be made more
elaborate. stones of different size being
used to make the design more effective.
The design may be copied from some
piece of jewelry or from some artists

be sufficiently clever to work out
pretty pattern of her own Large
rhinestones should never be employ ed
since they SAVIOR too much of imitation

Pouder Boxes for TrdDeling

- HE inconvenience of carrying toilet
powder in travelling IS known to
every one feminine. The puff
always manages in some way to turn
upside down or at any rate change to
the bottom instead of the top of the
box, where it started. so that quite half
the powder is spilled when the pun
must be removed. Not only is 1T an
noying to lose so much of the powder.
but 1T is also most unpleasant to have
everything within radius of several
feet covered with fine white dust
when the puff is pulled out of its box.
The. result of all this is that
for travelling powder that is to be
had put up In small tin bottles with
perforated lids is now generally used.
but not every one likes to have to use
willy nilly a certain kind of toilet pow
der just because it chances to be pur-
chasable In a convenient kind of bottle.
There is only one way out of all this
difficulty and that is to make powder
box with two partitions, in one side of
which shall be kept the powder, in the
other the puff Any small oblong box
can.be used for this purpose. an average
sized soap box being very good and
especially if it chances to be fitted with
one or two compartments. Compart-
ments or slides can always be-nade,
however, by simply gluing into the
box at the desired place pieces OF white
The San Francisco call., 1910-01-09

cardboard cut the right size and COW
cred like the rest OF the box. When
the box is covered inside and out with
silk or cretonne or perhaps soft
leather, powder placed in one re-
ceptacle and puff in the other, the box
is ready for either gift or personal use.
In lining and covering a box sewing
is generally more satisfactory than
glue, but the latter is OF course quick
est, and IL done neatly with glue
which will not mark the silk is all
right.
Instead of two compartments of equal
size there may be made two compart-
ments at each end of the box and the
center space be also subdivided to be
used for another kind of powder and
puff, the toilet powder and puff kept,
for example. in the outer compartments
and In the center the nose or face
powder.
When finished there should be at
tached to the powder box a ribbon to
prevent any possibility of the lid open
ing and the powder spilling. This rib
bon should be stitched to the under part
or the box so as not to interfere with,
the lid being taken off, For further
safety there may be two ribbons, one
to each end of the box or else crossing
each other, one tied about the. length,
the other about the width Of the case.
Whichever way the ribbon is placed it
will add considerably to the charm of
the powder box

jewelry. and by far the most attractive
of these necklaces are made entirely
with the tiniest stones, about the size
of brilliants.
To sew on the stones the velvet
should first be marked with white bast-
ing thread in order that the lines may
be kept absolutely straight. and IL
there is a definite pattern in the center
of the collar this should be defined in
the same way after being first drawn in
with white crayon. The collar is fas-
tened in back with tiny hooks and silk
loops. the velvet being kept from creas-
ing by regular collar bones. As the
boning will not show through the vel
vet. any number of these bones may be
used as near together as necessary.
There should be one directly i'm the CEN
ter, two in the back and at least two
at each side. All these bones should be
put in straight up and down. not slant
ed, as in a higher collar. The thin
celluloid boning is best for the pur-
pose.
Black velvet is generally employed
for this style of collar. but white and
all different colors are also to be seen
with gowns of corresponding shade
Black is, of course. most widely becom-
ing and also shows off to best advan-
tage the brillianey of the stones.

Sewing Cases

y ROME leather is now being used
n for the most charming little sew
ing cases and boxes. These are OF
the same sort that were made 40 or so
years ago. and many such little sewing
cases were carried through the civil
war by soldiers on both sides. The art
OF making these cases has been revived
by the Shakers. but any girl who sews
neatly will find il quite possible to
make them satisfactorily.

Social amenities for the Schoolgirl

sounds encouraging, but curiously this
is generally heard from one known to
be unreliable.
Among girls the undependable and
the always reliable ones stand out, es-
pecially when il comes TO a question Of
fun and entertainments planned long
ahead. 1t is irritating to accept two
weeks in advance an invitation to a
girls luncheon on a Saturday and then
al the last moment to receive a fas-
cinating invitation for a weekend out
Of town. The unreliable girl will
yield to temptation, send an excuse to
her hostess. who viii forgive, perhaps
but never forget sufficiently to ask her
again, and go off to her house party
The girl with a conscience, however,
would never be willing to cause her
hostess the inconvenience of striving
a the eleventh hour to fill a vacant
place, but will wait over until Sat
urday afternoon and then join her
friends in the country. with the re-
suit Of frequent parties at the same
house, which more than make up for
the few hours Of pleasure forfeited by
the original luncheon.
The unreliable girl is always break
ing engagements. always putting off
appointments, forever at her wits end
TO invent new and plausible excuse
At first there is no harm in this girl;
she is simply trying to take all the
pleasure that she can. and is too self
absorbed to let others come into con-
sideration. But the difficulty is that
the longer this tendency is fostered
the stronger will it become and the
more impossible will 1t grow for its
possessor to be depended upon even for
social engagements Soon this girl will
let everything slide, not even answer
ing notes or writing the even more i'm
portant letters of coincidence and con-
graduation. She Will put off doing the
little kindnesses and courtesies from
hour to hour, from day to day. until It
is too late, and another friendship is
lost. How attractive and what a re-
lief. on the other hand, is the girl who
always puts through what she UNDER
takes, or the girl OF whom It is GER
tain that If she accepts for even a stu
pid dinner she will let nothing inter-
fere with that engagement. These are
the girls who will later on stand at the
heads of committees and accomplish
far reaching good in the world and
they are also the girls who, when they
come out. will be showered with more
invitations than they can possibly at
tend to in one short season. Having
made friends with all with whom they
came in contact during schoolgirl days,
they will then be eagerly claimed for
all the most formal as well as for the
sweller and often gayer festivities of
the year

Covering the Telephone Directory

- NE of the necessary things in
1 modern household, but most un-
- ornamental one. is the telephone
directory. We must have it, and have
it IN q convenient place and in plain
view, but it has a dreadful tendency
to get it's leaves turned back and a
general mussy appearance. Even
when 1t is new and in order it is not
an attractive book: but it can be made
to look really attractive by making
cover for 1t. Then the book will not
be rumpled up, and the cover. once
made. can be used for a long time, as
the directory is always the same shape.
The cover Is made like an ordinary
book cover that slips on and off, but
must be carefully measured to fit this
especial book. 1t can be made of any
MATERIAL simple cotton goods or a
handsome brocade. If the telephone is
in the living room 1t is worth while to
make the cover of some really pretty
The San Francisco call., 1910-01-09

material If the telephone is on a
table where the directory can be beside
1t the cover will last longer than
where there is a wall telephone and
the directory must be hung up. In the
latter case the best material to use is
strong cretonne. with some flower de-
sign that matches the coloring of the
room.
The cover is made with an inner
pocket on each side, into which are
slipped the outside pages of the dfrec-
tory. The piece of material must be
cut as long as three times the width OF
the book and as wide as the length OF
the book. with an extra margin to turn
over on the inside. First turn this
margin on both sides and then turn
over the pockets on the ends, overland
ing them in place. Trim all around the
front and back with gimp. and the
gimp can also be used on the edge Of
the pockets If the directory is to be
hung up sew loop OF the gimp in the
middle of each upper edge of the cover
