Reno Correspondence

Reno, January 26-Reno's street car system took In s9f'6so
last year, a total of 1853, 800 nickels. This means an expenditure
of over $4,000 a month and more than 1856 a day, OF over o'ooo
fares a day-not bad for a town the size Of Reno. The Reno street
car lines, exclusive of the lines to Sparks and Moana, now stretch
over six miles and in all probability will reach III miles by summer
time. The line which now runs to Burkeis Addition will likely be
swung around to connect with the line to Moana, thus forming a
belt line running completely around the city.

Unmatched Furnishings Injure Morals,
Woman Architect Says.
New York, Dec. 10.-"Any woman
who wears plaids would be rude to
her cook"
Now, you might feel bewildered at
this statement, made by Miss Elsie
DeWolfe. architect and interior deco.
rator, If you did not know what led
up to it, Also you might ask. reason.
ably enough, what have plaids and
cooks to do with architecture. but it
all came about through the impatient
exclamation of Nine. Byrn, wife of
the Norwegian minister in Washing
ton.
"Oh, why do not men build houses
to suit women?" said Nine. Byrn. "The
houses designed by men make women
forever miserable. This is true, not
only of America, where houses go up
over night, but it also is true of the
so-called conservative countries. All
modern houses are defective in some
way, and the perfect home must be
evolved by the woman architect. Nor.
way has given women full civil rights
with men, and for a quarter of a cen.
fury women have been on equal intel
lectual terms with, men. Now, I would
like to see them take up this theme
and solve the, problem"
And Nine. Byrn is right" agreed
Miss DeWolfe. CAS- she says, women
particularly are fitted to take up in
terror decoration and architecture as
vocation. Practicability is femi-
nine quality. People who think wo-
men are not practical make a great
mistake.
"And I will tell you something that
perhaps you never have realized"
Miss DeWolfe continued. "A person
who has good taste is fine all the way
through. I mean they are moral, hon.
est, kind A person with good taste
never would make vulgar scandal.
They never would gossip or say un.
pleasant or unkind things. Can you
imagine anyone of really good taste
so far forgetting himself as to be
rude?"
"Then ones morals crop out in the
parlor upholstery"
Exactly" agreed Miss DeWolfe.

Hailed With Delioht.

Fremont Tribune; The five inches
of snow covering practically the whole
of the state is of great value to the
farmers. To be sure there is still
some of the corn crop uncribbed, but
the superb weather of November was
such as to see it well under cover.
The chief benefit that will come from
the snow blanket will be its effect
upon the crop of winter wheat. There
is a larger acreage of this than ever
before and growers are rejoicing that
it is so well protected by a uniform
covering, beside which the moisture
which will eventually come from it
will be of great value. The winter
wheat crop has risen to one of great

TO MARK OREGON TRAIL.
Huge Boulder at Fort Calhoun, Neb.,
Upon Historic Spot.


Lincoln, Dec. 10.-Special to The
News: A gift of plot of land at the
junction of two county roads, in the
village of Fort Calhoun, has recently
been donated by Mrs. Edward Peck of
Omaha to the Nebraska Daughters of
the American Revolution. This ground
will be used as a permanent resting
place for the huge boulder which was
placed and dedicated August 8, 1904,
by the Daughters and Sons of the
American Revolution. This was the
first monument erected in the state
OF Nebraska to mark a historic spot.
1t was placed in commemoration of
the hundredth anniversary of the first
peace conference held by Lewis and
Clark, representing the government,
and the chiefs of the Otos and other
Missouri river Indian tribes.
An important work is being accomp-
lished by the Daughters of the Ameri.
can Revolution in the west in stimu.
lating interest in the marking of his
toric spots. In Kansas, Colorado and
New Mexico, the Daughters have al
ready completed the work of mark
ing the old Santa Fe trail, working in
cooperation with the state commits
sions created by their various state
legislatures. Liberal appropriations
have been made by those states to
cover the expense of the work.
Through Nebraska runs what is I'M
doubtedly the most important of the
great trans-continental roads-the ia
nous Old Oregon Trail which opened
up to settlement by homeseekers what
is now perhaps the richest section of
the United States. The brave men
and women who underwent privations
and horrors undreamed of by present
generations in blazing this trail from
border to border of Nebraska, added
more stars to our flag than did any
war In which the men of the United
States have fought.

ing more nor less than teaching girls
how to have $40 hats for 81. Also it
teaches how to dress and look pretty.
Miss Tobey believes that college girls
and school teachers are lax in the mat
ter of dress.
"Of course" the professor said,
dowed with a genius for looking pref
ty and up-to-date in the 'raggedest'
frock and the oldest bonnet. But there
are other women who are devoid of
the sense of adornment. Woman's
greatest faults, when she starts in to
make her own frocks and hats, is her
propensity for loading her hats up with
feathers and flowers and furbelows
out of all sense of proportion.
THE first thing to do when my in.
spection and criticism are invited is to
see how much can eliminate from a
creation. Often one flower is more
becoming than wreath-one flower
prettier than a cluster of waving
plumes and so on. / start the girls in

women haven't any intuition about
their clothes and then one has to help
them out. l think after the physical
culture course the are of identifying
yourself is the next most important.
II wish l could impress upon the
girls who intend to go out into the
world the necessity of appearing at
their best. OF course, l don't believe
in willow plumes before breakfast and
chiffons and lace at IL o'clock, but
there is such a thing as looking too
plain.

but they are not college girls. The
college girls and school teachers are
most remiss in this respect, but the
bonnet course at Columbia will, l trust,
inculcate proper respect for beauty,
the most desirable of all feminine at
tributes.
"A girl can dress very well on
slender salary if she only knows the
trick of refurbishing velvet and of
cleaning flowers and satins. Here's a
hat that's seven years old. l made it
myself"
She placed jaunty black fur turban
on her black hair to illustrate her
theory. She advised the girls who
make their own hats against buying a
lot of material at time, but suggest
ed that ornaments could be added from
time to time.
