ORANGE Jelly In Baskets.

This makes a very pretty dessert:
Extract the juice of six oranges and
one lemon. Put two ounces of sugar
with it and let stand until the sugar
is dissolved. Soak half an ounce of
gelatin In a little cold water until soft.
Add sufficient water to the orange
Juice to make nearly a pint, and to
this add the gelatin. Warm the whole
mixture until the gelatin is fully dis
solved. stirring thoroughly. Pour into
your orange peel baskets and set away
In the cold to harden.
Orange Baskets.-Cut away part of
peel ON one side of orange to form n
handle, leaving lower half as bowl of
the basket. OF course the pulp has
got to be taken out very carefully so
as not to break the skin. An easier
way is to cut the orange in halves,
remove the pulp and fill with the
Jelly. A little of the jelly may be
saved out, and when ready to serve
chop it up quite fine and spread on top
of the baskets. Whipped cream may
also be used.

A Few Last Minute Offerings.

For the invalid e dainty bed Jacket
of nuns yelling in a pretty pale shade
is a gift that will be valued and a
be quickly made.
A simple model for it should be
chosen and all edges, neck, sleeves and
edge of sack buttonholed with silk, or
they may be hemmed and the stitches
covered with featherstitching.
Any piece Of hand needlework VIII
be acceptable, but without it a gift
will SAVIOR too much of the shops.
Neck muf1ers for evening wear can
be made from short lengths of-f1ower-
ed ribbon wadded and lined with soft
silk or quilted satin.
Leather napkin rings are pretty and
are easily made from a strip of leather
six or seven inches long and two and
one-half inches wide. In the center of
the strip the monogram is either stem
eiled or burnt on, and the band is SIM
narly decorated. To close the strip
bore holes at the ends and lace to-
gether with a thong of leather. These
Rre pretty and inexpensive gifts.

Years ago hats had trimmings. 4

lace and velvet, odd ornaments and
aigrets was in every woman's posses

or two each season with her own fair
fingers. The velvet draped the crown
The aigret was for height, and the
lace frightened it up a bit and lent a
dressy air, and the flowers nestled at
thing off. That was a hat. And it

were Just worrying along on a small
salary the same effect was arrived at
for about Sc. =
But now 1t is quite different. Hats
do not have trimmings or at the most
very little. A bare hat is chosen,
priced anywhere from, say, 81 to $25
in the nude, and then 1t is adorned
| perhaps with a single feather OF quill
or an odd looking ornament. 1t has a
positively naked appearance, but it is
chic. That's enough. But the marvel
GUS part about it is that 1t costs much
more than the one with lace and the
feather and buckle. Sometimes there
is nothing on the chapeau but q perky
little rose about as big as a baby's
fist, that's all, but the rose costs 81,
and the hat costs $14, and there you
are. The hats illustrated are charm.

ROCKY BOY INDIAN LANDS
OPEN FOR SETTLEMENT.

Secretary Ballinger has issued in
structions to throw open 100000
acres of land in Eastern Montana to
white settlers.
This land was withdrawn about two
years ago for the purpose of allotting
to the Rocky Boy Indians. The tract
contains the very choicest lands in
Valley County and wherever farming
has been carried on, it has produced
yields of from 20 to 80 bushels OF
wheat per acre, 40 to 70 bushels OF
oats and large crops of hay, alfalfa
and vegetables.
There are over 5000 16O-acre home
steads in this tract, which is con-
siderable more than the combined total
In the Flathead, Spokane and Occur
d'Alene Reservations, which were
opened to settlement last summer.

"In my new play" says the dramat-
ist, I'VE will have a real wine dinner

will be made to attain perfect realism.
The first rehearsal Of the play began
this morning at ten o'clock. 1t Is now
four p. m. and the rehearsal probably
ended at noon. I'll ask, though, and II
they are working yet we'll go over and
take look at the show as 1t stands"

LIVE STOCK RECEIPTS LESS
AT SEVEN LEADING MARKETS
LOWEST SINCE 1904.
Nearly 100000 Less Hogs Were
Slaughtered Than in 1908 While
Sheep and Cattle Were Short.

Washington, d. Cone contrib
uting cause to the high price OF
meat according to report of the
department of commerce and labor, is
the fact that live stock receipts for
1909 at seven leading interior markets
of the United States were the lowest
since 1904.
The total live stock receipts for
1909 in these markets aggregated 49,
545,725 head.
Particularly did the receipts of hogs
for the last year fall off. For each of
the four years previous to 1909 the
hog receipts had been in excess OF
100000 head, totaling more than 22,-
100000 in 1908, falling to 1S,S34,641
last year.
Cattle receipts in these markets for
1903, 1S9, 312-while comparing fav
orably with those of the previous
year, fell below the totals for the
three years before 1908. Sheep fell
below those in 1905 and to 1907 but
compared favorably with 1908.
