colored satin ribbon, 9 narrower width of which finishes stock and forms rosette at left side.
 No. 19 is made of mil1iner's folds of satin tackled to light foundation. For those who admire the oriental colors and trimmings, so much in vogue, this, is a pretty model. It is of heavy ecru linen embroidered in green, black, orange and touches of faded red. The square is of orange, the next square with four little tri- angles of green and the cross of red. The little lines that divide them are of black.
 No. 20, stock, apron front and un- der sleeve is of tucked batiste.s The triangular apron bib has an inch hem and tucks in groups of two, being mitered through the center, finished with satin gird1e. The stock is of valenciennes lace finished with fril1 at the top and small silk cord with two loops held to stock by two enam- eled buttons; the sleeves are finished in the same way.
 Dangling flowers, tasse1s, beads and jeweled ornaments are attached a1- most anywhere on a gown. One of the sanest of these is a little fiat, preferably black velvet ribbon about

with Duchess lace yoke piece, over 8 lace edge that finishes with knife p1eated frills and chou of ribbon like sleeve ruffies. Made of ecru lace with cream ruf11es and ribbon, this quite makes an elaborate little house. gown. A simple frock could be worn with it of brown, light blue, rose, black. or sage green. A most econom- ical way to ensure perfectly fresh afternoon gown is to make several plain little Empire frocks of silk and wool voile, which can be picked up in remnant lengths for a mere song. These wash very easily and require no particular dexterity to make, the skirt being gathered on to the waist and finished with tucks or a deep hem.
 Of still less trouble both in mak- ing and cleaning, are those of Jap anese crepe. This requiring no iron ing; merely soaking in warm soap studs and washing lightly, rinsing and snapping well, hanging out to dry in a current of air. These are to be had in lovely old blues, yellows, delicate pinks and greens. Of this same crepe, the childs bertha, No. 15, is made with medallions and inser- tions of lace. It is very simple of

 No. 40 shows an undressed kid, with a pair of beaded butterflies which, by the way, should not be alike. The one on the left boot has outspread wings while that on the right is apparently flying away.
 For afternoon wear No. 43 is an example of the dead black shoe which is made of black satin that will super cede all other colors and styles this season.
 As for purses, my lady now goes forth with her wealth dangling at the end of a long silver chain in a dainty little bag. If she be fortunate enough not to catch it in passing doors or Instructions, tearing it from it's chain, she stands an excellent chance of being relieved of that wearing responsibility by those gen- t1emen who entertain themselves by collecting purses.
 These bags should match the gown in color, and are embroidered or beaded as one's taste, purse or clev- erness dictates. The designs for the most part are quite simple and easily permit of home manufacture.
 No. 60 is of lavender suede, beaded in purple and mauve beads, and sus= pended on a twenty-four inch chain of silver links.

light inter1ining pasted loosely in. Its chief charm lies in it's natural, soft, unsewed folds. The ends are knotted with tarnished gold military braid and tassels of tarnished bullion or black silk with a few outer strings of cut steel or jet. This is a very chic and durable accessory.
 Parasols this season are literally square when open, being made in seven sections. Others are in eight sections. The sticks are moderately long, of the same color of the eyes or some neutral tone that compile ments the color in the face, in which case chou or smart bow, the color of the eyes, is tied to the handle. A very pretty idea is to match the eyes with flower which is fastened to the handle with bit of tulle.
 The tops are either of shirred chff- fon over silk or plain silk, embroid- cred, or painted, but always with the inevitable fril1 which adorns every thing from the top of one's stockings to the rim of ones paraso1. The lit tic chiffon affairs, No. 22, are finish ed with softly knotted bit of chiffon on the top and a tiny inch ruff1e of liberty ribbon of a contrasting tone or color yelled in the chiffon.

WILL KEEP YOUR
 COOK STOVE FREE FROM RUST
Open the Oven Door Frequently in Order to Prevent
 Inside from Getting Foul

Every woman when she gets a new cook stove thinks she will keep it like that'' But few know the best way, and soon get discouraged. Here are some bits from my own exper- fence and the instruction of stove dealer: The outside is to be kept clean by rubbing it with newspaper daily, occasionally with a few drops of kerosene on a soft cloth. This cuts off any grime and prevents rust, so once in six months say, try a coat ing of linseed oil and benzine in equal quantities. As this is inf1am- mable, the stove must be cold when it is applied. Rub on but little at time, following this immediately with a soft cloth.
 This mixture of linseed oil and benzine is inexpensive, and will be

new CITY HALL
TO help MARKET
WhitcOmb Estate Will Erect Six
Story Concrete Building to
Cost 100000

The location of the new city hall in
Market street. between Eighth and
Ninth, is expected to materially i'm
prove existing conditions in that sec
tion.
James Otis, trustee for the A. c..
Whitcomb estate, who will build for
the city's occupancy. says that the
structure will be of reinforced con-
crete, six stories in height, 200 feet in
Market street and extending back 165
feet. In the rear, occupying the rest
of the lot back to Mission, will be two
one story buildings for the emergency
hospital and a garage and stable.
Stevenson street, which comes in
from Ninth, has never been cut through
to Eighth, and this space Is owned by
the Whitcomb estate
The new buildings will cost In the
neighborhood of 100000. The real es-
tate is estimated to be worth 800, 900,
or $4,000 a foot for the frontage in
Market and $500 in Mission. This brings
the total investment up to $1,100,000 or
over. At the rental to the city of
$3.50 a month it will yield slightly
more than 5, per cent to the estate.
The william EIDE company, which
owns lot so by 100 with an L 5 by rs
in Ninth and Stevenson streets, for
merly the Majestic theater site, In the
same block as the Whitcomb property,
is expecting to build now that the new
city hall is to be located there.
