GOSSIP AND ADVICE FOR THE
WORLD OF WOMEN.

The couture Is more simple this
winter than 1t has ben for some sea-
sons, and for that reason headdresses
have been invented that are strongly
suggestive OF the Byzantine period.
One can pay any price for such a head
dress in the shops or make 1t at home
of dull metal braid and large colored
crystals. The problem is how to
make 1t rather than OF what to make
1t. The materials are plentiful when
one knows where to find them, hut ev.
cry woman has not the correct idea
about what is becoming to her face.
The scarf ornament promises to be
popular all winter. This is wide,
folded band of metal cloth or of metal
brocade or of the new thin tapestry
which is being used as trimming. This
is edged with a band of crystals. as
rule.
1t is sometimes made OF heavy col.
ored tulle woven with crystals, and
again of velvet in some Oriental tone
bordered with narrow gold braid.
Other ornaments are made in lat
tice. work Of metal braid, the braid
held together with crystals or gold
beads. Smaller head dresses are OF
dull metal braid, the kind used on
chairs and curtains. This Is made
with one strap around Ethe head kand
one across it, the ends Joined With
large pink stones. Y

before well.lighted mirror. On some
coiffures the one-piece ornament is a
single band, and this cannot always be
continued to the nape of the neck.
Again, one can only use a rose at the
side of bandeau.
Women who cannot wear bands at

Polishing Wood Floors.

The workmen who lay the floor usu.
ally finish it ready for the polisher.
This Is the case with all fine floors,
but in many old houses and in apart
ments where floors originally fairly
good have been neglected or unwise-
ly treated by careless former tenants.
the floor question becomes q burden
as well as problem. A good floor is
easy to care for and keep In condition.
a rough, uneven floor disgures any
room, puts the most expensive rugs
TO shame and makes more work for
the servants than all the other win
dows and woodwork in the house.
The kind and quality of sood deter.
mines the treatment TO be given the
floor. A hard, close-grained wood does
not require filler. and 1t will take a
higher polish than the soft woods. II
the floor is very rough it should be
rubbed smooth with steel wool or steel
shavings OF medium coarseness. When
the whole floor has been gone over,
brush up the dust, and II the wood be
open grained go oSer 1t with the filler,

Most of the grain in the Johns

the average. A few OF the bitches
are In better shape than some closer
to Greeley and all grain has been
watered once.
The "hoppers' caused more dam
age than the drought and would have
taken everything had 1t not been for
the systematic warfare waged by the
growers. Bran was used by the ton
and Paris green by the hundred
pounds. This mixture was spread
along the laterals. fences and every
vacant space where the "hoppers''

NO BLAME PROBABLY TO
BE ATTACHED FOR DEATH

1t is said to be probable that no
blame will be attached for the death.
The Barnett home is on what Is
known as the Clayton farm about
one-half mile north of Greeley. The
crossing where the child was killed
is a private crossing. The mother
turned her back for but a second
when the youngster toddled out of
the house and going to the fence
crawled beneath it. The father was
in the field working.
When the mother saw the train
crew coming back she rushed out
of the house to see the child. bleed
ing and dead at the side of the
track. The left side of the head was
crushed. The Barnetts are a young
married couple and Leola was their
only child. They had lived on the
Clayton place for the past five years.
The mother had always taken ex-
treme care to see that the child kept
away from the tracks and this morn
ing her back was turned but for a
minute when the accident occurred.
