1--WE all did until we learned by ex-
perience" the older woman assured
her. II hate to think how many years
il took me to learn to administer my
little personal allowance like a bud
get'-to make appropriations for GER
tain things and keep within the appro-
priations; to plan my outlay as
whole. and maintain proportions in my
expense.
Il try now to plan my wardrobe on
a certain SCALE so that nay rather
shabby tailored suit does not shame my
fine furs, and my hat from which the
glory has departed, does not shame
my irish lace waist, which, had ii been
linen, would have left money enough
for one more hat. And you should
see me calculate before / spend money
on a distinctively evening gown! They
cost so much, are so perishable, and
after a dozen appearances become such
an old story to ones friends So for
evening wear I try to manage with
one handsome black-which can be
made over for an afternoon gown an
other season-and a white lingerie
which 1 can wear good deal in the
following summer
81 remember that once. when / was
young, l bought a new frock for
party for twenty-five dollars, and
wore it four times IN a WnOle season,
during which | had often to wear hat
and shoes and gloves and wells far be-
yond the shabby point. Dozens of times
when / wanted to look pretty for
nice, happy hearty little occasion
among my intimates, / glared resent
fully at that pink lansdowne hanging
useless in my closet, and remembered
how less than half satisfactory had
been my evening at the party for
which it was bought, and how. each
of the other times l had worn it, a
pretty, serviceable summer silk that
could have worn fifty times would have
been quite as appropriate"
"I've done things like that" the girl
admitted, "but I'm learning by ex-
perience, too. It's dear way to learn,
though, and I'm going to try to learn
some by your experience as WELL"
Within a year nearly every girl who
knew her was remarking the excellence
of her dress. She had not spent a
penny more than formerly; only laid
out her allowance more judiciously-
and learned to compute the cost of
wearing a pair of white kid Gloves

omies?"
"Oh, indeed l should"
"Well, about color, for one thing. In
these days, when gowns and wraps and
hats and wells and shoes and parasols
and handbags and even jewelry are
supposed to match or harmonize-to
belong in groups that must not be
broken--I find 1 can manage only by
sticking to a few carefully chosen
Colors.
This season 1 had four new dresses,
all in blue green tones or combinations.
One is a morning dress for marketing
or shopping: one is a quite dressy
gown for afternoon wear, and two
are in between gowns. But all the
things that go with one of these gowns
go with all the others. I have street
hat 1 can wear with any of them
even the dressiest on a dark day-and
one dress hat that is equally suitable
to any of the three I might wear a
good hat with. One wrap serves for

blue and green changeable silk petit
coat serves as drop skirt for the lot
and so on.
II love brown. But I mustn't think
of having anything brown until sea-
son comes when 1 can go in for
browns and tans exclusively. For
nothing goes with brown but more
brown, and that means complete
outfit in one color no part of which
it is possible to use apart from it's own
combination"
"I'm afraid" said the young girl,
ruefully, that when I have a blue
dress and can get a new one, I usually
get brown because it's so different

Only tasteless women spend money

25 cents; they may be cleaned about
six times. That is fourteen wearings,

The girl looked guilty for she had a

and if she were to keep it fresh and

Institutes will be held in the Range
Cities, four in Duluth and one in
Two HarborS.
The Institute at Ely will be held
on Nov. %.
The State Sunday School Associa-

fortunate in being able to secure
the services such State field workers

COUNTY.

Mckinney interests a deal by
which it is proposed that it shall
take over thesfurnaces of the latter
and its mines and material property
in the Lake Superior region. If
such a deal is in process of being
arranged and should be carried
out, it will be the largest transac-
ton for several years in the Lake
Superior region, and would retire
one of the few remaining large
companies operating in the iron
fields. The ~Corrigan-McKinne
company has extensive interests on
the Minnesota and Michigan
ranges, with the exception of the
Marquette range, and has been a
large outputter of ore. 1t lately
closed down important mines at
Bessemer and in the Crystal Falls
district, causing local bushes
furriest in both places, because of
over production of certain gradesof
ore, on which the market was slow.
At the Colby mine in Bessemer,
it is stated, there is 500, 900 tons
of ore in stock. If the proposed
deal should be carried through it is
said that it would involve over
$40, 900, 900 of mine values alone,
and the other interests of the Cor
company are also
considerable.

Weather PrOgnOsticatOrs.

ABOUT this time of the year the
oldest inhabitants have something
to say about winter signs says one
of our valued exchanges. Some of
the newspaper reporters also in
terview Indians to get their pro-
gnostications about winter wealth
err. In the fall, according to these
reports nearly every winter is to be
a hard winter. Here is a bit of
philosophy about anticipating the
kind of winter we are likely to
have. Nature is supposed to take
care of its own. If the summer
does not provide enough of natural
food supplies for the wild creatures
that are to be taken care of, it is
natural to suppose that the follow
ing winter weather will be temper
ed to meet the conditions. If
there are plentiful weed seeds for
the birds, nuts and dry %provender
for the animals, the winter is not
likley to be severe enough to des-

Found A Mares Nest

The Two Harbors correspondent
of the Duluth Evening Herald
Saturday had the following to say:
The football game that was to
have been played today at Ely be-
tween the local and the Ely High
school eleven, was called off by the
Ely team at the last minute. Ten
minutes before leaving time yester-
day the local received a telephone
message from Ely that they could
notplay on account of the weather.
The local players claim the weather
had nothing to do with it and
allege the calling off of the game
was a case of cold feet. 1t is
claimed here that Ely has no valid
excuse for calling off the game and
the locals claim they are entitled to
an explanation that will explain
While we were aware that the
Two Harbors High Schools boys
are a bright and knowing lot of
young men, this is the first in
timation we ever had that they
could know weather conditions in
Ely from Two Harbors better than
could the Ely contingent.
The manager of the Ely team
notified them under agreement
with their manager at the time
set by the two, that the weather
was too bad for the game. AS the
expense to bring the Two Harbors
here Appropriated something
like SIS, the Ely manager felt that
the boys could not afford to fur
nish a junketing trip for the Two
boys and no game at the
end of it. Other games in the
range towns were called off Satur-
on account of the weather.
1t i'll BELTS Two Harbors to talk
of cold feet especially after

the tune of FL to 8 on their own
grounds. What would the score
have been here on the home
grounds is hard to determine.

THE Duluth Herald during the
entire campaign could see no good
in any of the Republican candid
ates. For a paper claiming itself
independent, this seems strange,
and bears out Our contention that
when a paper is Independent it
usually is strongly Democratic in
all its utterances. We all know
that James Gray was an avoned
tonnage taxer while OH the Mime
apolis Journal. w also know that
tonnage tax would ruin us is this
country, and yet the Herald was
for Gray. The DO it for the

Saturday. The proclamation is as
follows:
This year of 1910 is drawing to
a close. The records of population
and harvests which are the index
of progress show vigorous national
growth and the health and prosper
Gus well-being Of our communities
throughout this land and in our
possessions beyond the seas.
These blessings have not descend
ed upon us in restricted measures,
but overflow and abound. They
are the blessings and bounty of
God.
We continue to be at peace
with the rest of the world. In all
essential matters, our relations
with other peoples are harmonious
with an ever-growing friendliness
and depth of recognition of mutual
dependency. 1t is especially to be
noted that during the past year
great progress has been achieved in
the cause of arbitration and the
peaceful settlement of international
disputes.
Now, therefore, l., William
Howard Taft, president of the
United States of America, in &C
cardance with the wise custom of
the civil magistrate since the first
settlements in this land, and with
the rule established from the
foundation of this government, do
appoint Thursday, Nov. "a, 1910,
as a day of national thanksgiving
and prayer, enjoining the people
on that day to meet in their
churches for the praise of almighty
God and to return heartfelt thanks
for all his goodness and low
ing kindness ),

SENATOR CLAPP certainly put
his foot in it insofar as thenorthe1n
part of the state is concerned in
that tonnage tax argument made
by him at Willmar. We never
thought Senator Clapp would get
down to that kind of politics, and
it is plainly to be seen that he
needs retiring, a fact which will
be brought to the legislature in
due time. Dirty politics, especi-
ally this year, did not go, and
Senator Clapp will probably hear
something drop before long.

troy the living creatures that have
to be provided for. Dry years are
generally followed by mild winters.
The summer of 1894, which we all
have occasion to remember, was
followed by a mild winter so that
even our domestic animals were
able to do without shelter and get
their living in the open for almost
the whole of the winter months.
1t is best not to worry about the
winter before it comes.
