HAVE REGULAR MENDING DAY
Surprising Results VIII Be Effected II
q System" lis PUT Into
Operation.
JULIA BoTToMLEY

There Is nothing on earth like sys.
TEN, and nowhere do you realize this
more than IN matters OF dress. The
tiny hole in your stocking, that YOU
might have mended In two minutes.
grows into an undarnabIe rum" the
rip under the arm in your new blouse
extends alarmingly; nothing that must
be mended stays where it is put,
The remedy for all this is a regu-
lar mending day-or a regular mend
ing evening, il you are business
woman. AS soon as a garment needs
mend1ng--if 1t be only a button or a
hook that must be replaced-put it
aside, unless it Is SO necessary that
you must attend to the trouble at once.
and when mending day rolls around
do the required sewing. You will be
surprised to find out how much lighter
your work becomes when you can thus
catch rents and tears at their start
instead Of at their disastrous finish.
The other point to remember is Al.
ways to have your sewing implements
where you can get them and In perfect
order. Do not wait until the very mo
ment for mending to find that you are
out OF white thread or that YOU,
needles are rusty. When a thine
needs repairing, repair it; when il
needs replacing, replace it. 1t might
even be a good thing to have a regu
lar preparation day. to antedate the
mending one.

is shown here. 1t liz a crusher hat OF
black velvet, the brim lined with
white satin and edged with heavy
satin-covered Wire-the only wire In
the hat Such a hat, with the br1m
dented against the crown and orna-
mented with a smart aigrette or stiff,
fiat, cockade, may be seen at any OF
the cafes, completing very handsome
toilettes.
Odd effects in trimming are sought
for these odd hats, and many of them,
for the street, are untrimmed. They
need finishing touch, however, but 1t
must be just a touch. A single skele-
ton plume, in peculiar coiorings, or q
long feather from the pheasant tail,
or a narrow, gold quill, are favorites
and illustrate the character Of trim,
ming which is appropriate.
A soft turban of velvet and fur
with fur buckle, is partly flexible.
There are no wires except in the
brim, which Is very cleverly draped
with velvet. This Is a sensible hat
for midWinter With the dark fur
crowns one sees combined the most
vivid and beautiful colors In velvet,
mink and coral, black fox and bright
green, plush or broadtail, dark mole
skin with cerise or coral velvet and
very dark brown furs with cardinal
red, have the vigor and warmth OF
color needed for midwinter.

LAST week THE OASIS was in error in stating that New Mexico had got into the statehood fold. It was knocked out at the last mo- ment by filibuster in the Senate by Senator Owen of Oklahoma, who added an amendment to the resolution of admission which in- cluded Arizona, and then the reso- lution was voted down. Yet that was not a positive disapproval by Congress; and under the terms of the enabling act if the President construes the Congress just ad- iourned to be "the next regular session" stipulated in the enabling act, and certifies to the Governor of New Mexico accordingly, that functionary can call state election and set in motion the state ma chinery.

It seems Opportune to remark to you
 that my forecast of the Mexican revolu-
 ton was based on facts and everything has turned out as 1 stated it would. The fiasco at Juarez has shown that the re- volutionists are nothing but lot of giId guerrillas with very little courage and no organization. l don't think it should be hard for the public to realize the fact that these revoutionlsts are
 nothing but poor, discontented men of very tile intelligence and responsibility.
 In the business of the Universal
 Smelling and Refining Co.,, we get let ters from all over the world and have q very good opportunity for gauging the situation, both politically as we'll as commercially, in various countries. l am continually receiving letters from Chihuahua showing that there is no in- reference whatever with the mining in- dustry, and no attention whatever is paid to the revolution. My mail comes through without any delay and st;ictly according to Mexican railway schedule.
 The general feeling is that we are on the verge of mining boom and Mexico will get the lions share am going to take trip this coming week to the state Sonora on business connected with co m- pany and general mining.
