TIRE CONVENTION COMPLETES ITS WORK.

their work on Thursday and will be at home in few days to give an account of their stewardship. We publish this morning the first in. staIlment of the constitution as def initely agreed to. The entire con stitution will now be passed on section by section and during this process amendments will still be in order but it is not likely that any further changes will be made now. though the convention durin it's session has reversed itself on many propositions. It will be ab- served on reading the completed document that many socialistic fads and isms proposed are missing, many Of them having been turned down after being tentatively agreed to by the co=vention.
 The only thing remaining in the constitution which we regard as fatal and believe will be the cause of loss of statehood by disapproval in Washington, is the recall which includes the judiciary as well as all other elective officers. While other propositions were eliminated after they had been agreed to because, as stated by members on the floor, they would endanger- the success of the constitution. notably one of these wSs the qualification of voters, bar ring; from the polls all who could no, read English, it Is to be re- gretted that the same cause did not lead to the elimination of the re cal which We regard as infinitely more Dangerous than the qualifica ticr section. But the recall was tenaciously held to on the false theory that the people of Arizona had demanded it. Such theory cer- tainly was false as 10 Cochise coun- ty where one of the delegates during the campaign specifically announced his opposition to a recall which would apply to the judiciary and on that declaration received the second highest vote of the ten candidates.
 This paper has done what it re- sarded as its duty in trying to save statehood by pointing out the danger of incorporating many of the proposed socia,istic measures into the constitution. Certainly the press of the territory accomplished much good by criticising the socialistic trend, apparent at times in the convention, with the result that such measures as the one Iegalizing boycotting and picketing. the one which would prevent courts from protecting the rights of citizens and their enterprises by the use e the injunction; the one preventing the executive having the full use oi the military in the protection oi property and individual rights. ana the one allowing non-taxpayers tC vote On propositions for ineu-rins bond issues are now to be found i. the constitution.

She spent sixpence on the dress. and
Squandered the rest Of the large sum on

the evening. With burnt cork on her

towels from her bathroom and draped
her little body with them. twisting one
around her head into a fine turban. With
these and her Own clever skill, she pre-
sented an Arab boy OF immaculate ap-

Some New Neckwear.

/ From the Philadelphia Press.
/ At a Paris showing OF neckwear, ex-
/ quisite novelties appeared TO ensnare the
/ feminine heart There were combinations

and delicate, jabots of thin laces. at
taehed to stocks Of the same, finished at
the throat with filmy bows or twisted
/ knots of ribbon.
An enticing new note was struck in
| introducing COlOred embroidery in sets Of
collars ana cuffs. These were not OF one
| tone. but delicate shadings of Oriental
hues, which would blend with and vet
brighten ones tailored suit or give dis
tinction TO a blouse. Some were straight
tabs. trimmed with tiny buttons. with
frills OF Valenciennes lace down one side.
Others showed an irregularity in design
according to the outline Of the en-
broidery.
A bit of real lace gives 2 touch Of rich
ness 10 a costume that cannot be gained
in any other way. and many of these
held first rank. Duchess, Point, Rosaline.
and the fascinating Carrick-ma-Cros
gladdened the eye But the girl who is
handy with the needle can do wonders in
the way Of initiating these imported nov
elites with small lengths of laces picked
up at odd times in her shopping expedi-
tons. These can be deity pleated or
draped or whipped around a strip Of

neckwear. Almost any sort OF lace is
used this season from fine mesh TO the
heavy Irish, so that old pieces of lace
that have been laid away can once more
be brought forth with the knowledge that
they are again in vogue.

Mince Meat.

From the Philadelphia Star.
This will keep all winter without boil
ing or being alright Take two pounds
beef. near the neck: one peck of pie ap-
pies, one pound seeded raisins, o1se pound
cleaned currants. one pound of citron,
chopped fine; the peel Of three lemons
and the peel of three oranges, chopped
fine; three and a half pounds of sugar.
one tablespoon each Of ground cinnamon
and cloves. one half tablespoon of
ground allspice, one cup brandy one
cup Of good wine Boil beef very tender;
when cold chop very fine. Now mix
meat, apples, fruit, spice, brandy and
wine all together, and salt to taste.
Pack in a stone crock or any jars you
have on hand. Wet a cloth in brandy
and put on top of mincemeat before you
put on cover. or tie a paper over If
you have no cover. Now. when you want
to use it, take out two cupfuls for one
pie add cider and one tablespoonful mo-
lasses. This makes about fourteen large
pies, and will keep until late spring
Every time you use some to make a pie,
wet the cloth in brandy and replace.

Of the Fair Sex.

From the Boston Transcript
A girls heart is naturally light when
she strikes a match.
Leading a woman to the altar is usually
mans last act of leadership
a fiance in the hand is better than an
ideal in the bush.
Odd that a girls entry into society
should be called her coming out.
A good deal depends upon the dressing
when il comes TO salads and girls.

builds you will never find any washtubs.
If girl finds out that her lover is COM

The reason a girl so readily believes

The New Furs.

ProEz the Philadelphia star.
IN the good old days our ancestors
would have been horror stricken at the
mere idea Of the tailor even glancing
at their furs. Then the Lending furriers
stocked three sides in sealskin coats. and
no one ever had the temerity to suggest
that any alterations should be made.
Seal was dyed quite different color from
the rich brown, almost black. OF to-day.
Bismarck brown was the accepted shade
forty years ago When a coat became
lighter and rubbed through wear the signs
OF use were considered in no way 10 de-
tract from its value. In fact, it was after
twenty OF thirty years wear looked upon
as an heirloom 10 figure in the posses
sor's will.
Women to-day make a fetish Of the
harmonious blending OF colors, and il
Is impossible now 10 wear a chinchilla
stole and nun with a brown suit. Con-
sequently, a sable, or as near sable as
the pocketbook win allow, is a neces-
sity, and so on down the scale OF col
ors. AS a result smart women never
consider their wardrobes complete with
out a set of ermine chinchilla, and sable
white fox and skunk. moleskin and black
fox, in order that one Of the sets may
be worn with any color scheme.
There is an erroneous impression that
silver fox is more valuable than black
Indeed, the natural black fox is really
regarded as the prerogative Of those en-
dOwed with the riches of Croesus. A
characteristic detail Of the latest fur
fashions is the reversing OF the natural
flow OF the fur, producing Greek key,
oblique. and vertical designs. This idea
is seen on stoles. scarfs. NUTS. and coats.
Fisher tails are used for the adornment
of plush and seal coats. They are ar
ranged to form f1ounceS. reVers, and cuffs.
In fact the coats are reminiscent OF
those worn by the leaders Of fashion a
quarter Of a century ago.

have thought of buying such a present

large French plumes, which shaded
from pale rose TO a coral pink color.
The price OF the hat was $50, but ac-

only $3.50 for it Christmas Eve. Other
