MAKING THE WEDDING PAY

One Saturday night on Whisky row,
from a hall up over a Pollsh saloon
cafe, came such shouts and laughter
and suueaking of fiddles that | went
up the steep stairs and entered.
"Just weddin'," said the stout
Irish policeman, who stood in one cor
ner complacently taking it in. Around
the walls stood and sat some 200 OF
all ages, from the white-headed old
woman across the room to the wee,
chubby grandchild that stolidly slept
in her lap. On the floor were a dozen
couples whirling and stamping, some
laughing, others as though their very
lives depended on the power OF each
stamp. From the platform the little
orchestra was playing fast and hard,
repeating the same short. rhythmic
squeak over and over.
The weeks long grind in the stock
yards, the worries, the anxious plan
ming to save up for cottage nome
all were forgotten. Each time the nd
dies resumed their frenzy the whirling
and stamping and laughing began as
though it were o'clock instead of IL.
Only the babies were silent and dig
nified-sound asleep.
Over in one corner stood the bride, a
husky young girl of perhaps IS, dressed
in traditional white with a meager
veil cheerfully doing its best to tlutter
and flow in the breeze from the WIN
dow. She sat by her mother. Her
broad, rather full face was rosy now
and glowing She breathed deep smil-
ing to herself, now g1ancing at the
coarse white roses in her lap, now at
the dancers, now at her brand-neW
husband. a tall, thin Pole who stood
stiff and awkward, but grinning with
delight. When a man came over and
seized her hand she bounced up with
a quick laugh. And then came new
excitement.
For every male guest is expected to
ask the bride to dance; and, to defray
wedding expenses, the price of each
dance is a dollar. On the floor is
thick white plate upon which the
guest may throw his coin with all his
force, and if he breaks it his money
is returned. But whether from the
generous caution of the guests or the
thickness of the plate provided by the
brides discreet mamma, this accident
rarely happens. And often, if the
bride be a belle and the groom a good
fellow, the sum amounts to 5000 or
even $300-with enough left over to
furnish the new American home which
is to begin on the morrow.
New homes, new music and dancing,
new energy, new vital hopes are here.
For it is the lustiest youth, the very
bone and sinew of Poland, that is now
crowding in, to help make the new
race of the future.-Ernest Poole in
EVerybody's.

WHITE SHOES

Don't discard your white shoes after
they have become badly soiled and
allow them to fall into discoloration
by long disuse.
Take them in hand when they are
first muddied, and after a thorough
brushing with stiff brush wash all
mud from the soles, heels and edges.
OF all the bottled preparations on
the market Chinese white is one of the
most efficacious cleansers.
Better than this, however, is a
homemade whitener consisting of one
half an ounce of gum arabic dissolved
in forty ounces of water, an ounce Of
white vinegar and twenty ounces of
powdered chalk. Two coatings of the
liquid should be applied.
For dainty white kid and buckskin
ties pipe clay is the best cleanser
When the heels and soles of white
shoes are brown such details will be
improved with a coating of the white
of an egg.
To keep the shoes in shape after
cleaning, lace them up the front and
place them on shoe trees or stuff them
with tissue paper.

CoRsETs AND UNDERWEAR


lI6 neWeSI COISGlS are lONCl III bAS
bust and have more fullness above the
waist line to improve the appearance
of full bodlces and surplice and peas
ant bodices, such as fashion smiles
upon. We no longer need tight con-
stricting stays, so they are looser and
give plenty of scope to the waist. We
are flying away from the pouter-
pigeon effect, that had no beauty in
it: instead, the aim of the good cor
seteire is to roduce the long, straight
line from the shoulder to the bust
Where the figure is very full nat
urally, the thing is to fall back on
the brassiere, which is much more
comfortable than the stiff stay with
tea gowns and the like. The new stays
are Just as long as ever below the
waist line, but very much shorter
above. For evening wear some are
cut heart-shaped, so as to suit the
V form of many of the bodices
Bones on the hips are shorter, the
wearers trusting to strong coutil for
the necessary compression; at all
events the freedom of movement Is
greater. Tricot cloth is newer than
elastic webbing, and is admirable for
keeping the hips within bounds.
We are wearing scanty gowns, which
necessitate scanty underwear; in fact,

reduce the lingerie worn to a mini
num- Undergarments are often skin
tight and are fitted to the hips with
scrupulous care. Combination gar
ments include drawers, short petticoats
and corset covers all in one, united
below the waist line, stout figures fall-
ing back on the princess woven Isle
thread garments, fitting like gloves
leaving no crease nor bulginess any
where.
Vests are made with shoulder straps
that button, SO that they can be dis
pensed with when desired. Irish GRO
chet and filet lace figure on many of
the new models.
Nightgowns grow more and more
gossamer in weight. are cut low, with
elbow sleeves, and are trimmed with
pretty ribbons, but these are destined
for the young; older women have them
higher in the neck and of firmer sub
stance. Bishop sleeves are worn by
older matrons, and surplice effects in
trimming. Empire shapes with bell
sleeves are prevailing mode.
The drawers are cut on the bias over
the hips, thus doing away with any
fullness above but it makes them full
er below the knees. Two materials are
often introduced in the lingerie petit
coats, the upper portion plain and the
lower checked with lines or inserted,
some of the flouncings being embroid-
cred. Hens of colored lawn find
place in much of the lingerie and col
ored musins for nightgowns and day
underwear have many followers.
The new petticoats. with eyelet-ho1e
embroidery have flounces with hardly
any fullness at all. Still, pipings of
color and bands of color wear better for
underlinen than lace and embroidery,
and are therefore in favor. Many are
having a combination garment that
goes over the corset, with no bands or
strings at the waist, silk or Isle thread
tights under the stays, corset covers
and pantalons are favorite garments.
On the whole people are relying for
warmth more on furs and overcoats
than underwear in the cold weather.

TO KEEP NEEDLES

A soda mint bottle with a little screw
top makes an excellent holder for nee
dies, to keep in the workbag. 1t is es-
pecially good for damp climates, as the
needles will not rust. 1t can be made
a thing of beauty by covering it with
a bit of the material of which the bag
is made preferably silk, as this will
work up better) and a workbag given
for a present is doubly acceptable if
some such little thing as this is added
to give distinctive touch.

BLEACH FADED GOWN

Here is a hint which may be of use
toward the end of the summer.
When the hot sun and strong air
have faded a pretty muslin or cambria
frock beyond remedy, bleach it white
by boiling it for a considerable time
in soda and water to which a little
chloride of lime has been added. This
will draw cut the remaining color and
the frOck will appear in pubic as a
new ole. This has been done To cotton
.lelaine with great satisfaction.

ESCALLOPED HAM

This is a good way to use the left
overs of the fried or the cold boiled
ham. Run one cup of cold ham through
the grinder, add to it one cup of cream
sauce made by melting one tablespoon
butter and stirring into it one table
spoon flour until thick. Add to the
ham and cream sauce three hard-boiled
eggs which have been chopped fine
and one-half cup bread crumbs. Put
in a buttered dish and bake until
brown.

distinguished, because throughout its
history Wedgwood was noted for the
diversity of material used in its COM
position. No pottery can compete with
the Wedgwood in the wide range and
variety of output. Jasper, basalt,
crystalline, porphyries, marble, clay
and feldspar are some of the materials
used in the composition, and the pro-
ducts include inlaid and relief work,
hand painted and printed ware, hand
sculptured and machinery modelled. If
you would like to get hold of some OF
the old pieces of Wedgwood the only
way to do is to take a review of the
modern types and note the peculiariti IS
of tie shapes and curves and the blend
ing of colors
The modern Worcester resembles the
old Grown Derby" much in that the
designs are intricate and spread all
over the surface. Spode is said to be
the nearest kin to Lowestoft, in that
it will always boast minimum m
stead of a maximum of design and
colOring.

REMOVING STUBBORN SCREWS

To remove a stubborn wood screw
from a piece of wood states the
American Machinist, heat any sound
piece of iron red hot and hold it against
the screw head for a little while. Wait
for the screw to cool down, when it
will be found that the screw can be
removed quite easily with the same
screw driver that just previously would
not bulge it.

FOR VARNIsHED FLOORS

When the vanished floor begins to
look shabby wax it, but do not wash
it with soap and water, as that will
dull the finish.

WHAT FEDERAL CONSERVATION
MEANS.

Dishonest or incompetent judges
of the t-Pinchot-Garfield pol
icy of federal conservation of the ma
tion's natural resources never weary
of charging it with failure to devel-
op them and with holding back the
growth of the west.
Will they sit up, open their eyes
TO the truth, and observe this fact ?
The Taft administration has grant
ed a water power permit for 80
600, horsepower plant in the Duluth
district.
The permit makes possible the de-
velopment of the power. 1t also con-
serves the rights of the people and
preserves the control by the govern
ment, their trustee. 1t is not abb
solute, but conditional. The power
remains the property of the public,
instead of becoming a private pos
session. The permit may be revoked
if necessary. The users of the power
must pay rent, and must not charge
others unreasonably 1t must be en-
ployed, not for monopolistic profit,
but for the development of the neigh
borhood and the common veal.
This is conservation that con-
serves. This is the conservation that
is coming for Alaskan resources and
other public property. 1t will not
enrich would-ce monopolists. 1t Will
add vast wealth to the nation

URGE EXHIBIT FOR
COUNCIL BLUFFS
Apple Show at Iowa City
Dependent on Western
Fruit Display.

The apple show held at Council
success. 1t will be held again this
year, Notwithstanding the fact that
the crop of apples in the middle west
ern states was short this season.
J. T. Tedford represented this dis
trict and he reports excellent treat
ment. The opportunity this season
will be greatly superior for publicity
than ever before. The farmers of
Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri
and Minnesota will see a very prac-
tical Illustration of the superior ad-
vantages of district which is proof
against frosts and winter-kill.
Dr.. Miller, of this city, has. received
a letter from the president of the
Bloomer Ice & Cold Storage company
OF Council Bluffs, setting forth the
orchard conditions of his section, the
opportunity of getting good results
from exhibiting at the apple show
there this year, and other interest
ing details.
The letter follows:
81 have your favor of the 18th at
hand, and will say that our rates on
box apples are 15c for the season to
April 1st. Short term rate is sc for
the first month or fraction thereof.
These are the standard rates charged
by all first class storage houses. You
might find a few antiquated plants
who would make you a little lower
price than those quoted above. These
rates are on carloads, but of course.
if you were to come to us with a pro-
position for several cars, we might
be able to do little better than this.
Il expect to be out your way with
in the next two or three weeks and
will take pleasure in calling on you
and getting acquainted. You are
probably aware that we have no ap-
pies in this vicinity this year. The
freeze we had in the fore part OF May
completely wiped the crop Off the
face of the earth, and today Iowa and
South Dakota are without any apples
whatever, and Nebraska has none
with the exception of four counties
in the southeastern corner. Missouri
and Kansas have a very light crop.
and that only in sections. This Will
be a dandy place to store your ap-
pies this year and ship them out later
as you see fit and the market
calls for them. We had a great many
cars stored here last year which were
shipped out during the winter and
spring to nearly every market In the
United States.

friends entirely for our apple snow

single bushel of apples could be
fought in this territory at present.

In the light of this sudden turn of
affairs, it will be recalled by the peo-
pie of the state of Washington that
Miles Poindexter, true to his cam
paign promises, was the only MEM
Der of the Washington delegation
who helped to rid the nation of the
incubus of Cannonism. He yielded
neither to threats nor intimidation,
he was ostracised by his colleagues
from this state, he had his patron
age ruthlessly taken away from him
simply because he was the unyielding
foe of this despotic machine, but
through it all he maintained his
course as true as the experienced
navigator on unknown seas.
1t is now up to the people of this
state to determine whether Poindex-
ter, whose course in opposing Can
nonism has been indicated, shall be
rewarded for meritorious service or
whether the rewards shall go to men
who gave this movement no assist
ance or word of encouragement.
Every day brings new proof that the
people in increasing numbers are
giving their support to this man who
has convictions and who has demon
strated that neither threats, intimi-
dation, nor loot can swerve him from
the path of duty. Poindexter rep
resents the people in their efforts to
make congress responsive to public
opinion and to the public interest.

POINDEXTER AND CANNONISM

Coincident with the coming of Vic
for Murdoch of Kansas to Washing
ton. Congressman Humphrey of Sc
attic announces that he Will not
again support Joseph @. Cannon for
Sneaker of the house of representa-
tives. This change of front on the
mart of Congressman Humphrey is a
tacit admission that he got a wrong
steer in the Tacoma convention.
There, amid the enthusiasm of the
cohorts of standpatism, he praised
Cannon as the iron duke and gave
his unqualified endorsement to Can
nonism. This kind of shifting and
'shuffling may be the correct thing
over in the First district, but over
here in the Third it doesn't set we'll
with an Independent and thinking
constituency.
Victor Murdoch has been in the
thick of the fight against Cannonism,
and like others he has felt the mailed
fist of the speaker and the sting and
the insults and the ostracism of
supposedly invincible machine acting
under the dictation of Congressman
Dalzell and Sibley of Pennsylvania,
the hirelings of the big interests, and
he is now touring the state telling
the people the story of the inner
workings of this oligarchy, the stink
of which smells to high heaven.
Since the word has gone out from
Beverly that Cannon is to be drop
ped, even republican standpat con-
gressmen in Illinois are now declar-
ing that if elected they will not again
support Cannon for the speakership.
No other Interpretation can be given
to this striking change of attitude
than that the men who fought Can
uonism have been indicated before
the bar of public opinion.
