LIKE ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS
Women Of Fashion Prefer Them to
tho Real Thing In the Way
Of Posles.

Chrysanthemums, violets, carna.
lions, poinsettia, all the lovely flowers
favored by fashion, are reproduced
this season in artificial form. Not
only are they perfect in appearance.
but they are scented. Thus, the wom-
an who has all her gowns, laces, furs,
ETC., fragrant Of violets may wear her
favorite flower Of a much more lasting
nature than those nature offers her,
redolent, too, Of sweet perfume.
This custom Of reproducing the
beauties Of natures flowers by artif.
cial means is no modern one. In the
tombs of the Egyptians artificial flow.
ers were discovered, made out of dyed
linen. Although they had lain for
5000 years, they kept some semblance
Of their original appearance.
In the Rocco days, when all lux
ury was carried to a pitch of extrava-
gance, elegant ladies preferred imita-
ton flowers to real ones. A famous
artist In artificial flower making was
engaged to give Marie Antoinette and
her ladies lessons in his art.

about 1000, he had little extra cash.
But he was willing to help his sons,
so they found a mill near Harper,
Kan, reputed to be worth $4,000.
Schneider did not know the actual
worth Of the property, but he bought
an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Of the mill,
giving in exchange his farm and notes
for $4,000 for the minority interest.
Schneider and his sons were ready
to take charge of the mill, when It
was burned. One insurance company
has absolutely refused to pay any In
surance and the other three insurance
companies, which carried policies on
the property, will not pay more than
one-half the face value Of the policies
because of evidence of incendiary
origin of the fire which the insurance
agents have found.
Schreiber's farm is gone. His mill
is gone and he cannot collect more
than $4,000 as ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
of the insurance money. The ground
and salvage has been seized by the
creditors of the mill. Schneider can
pay whatever he received on the notes
he signed, but that will leave about

be able to compel a return Of notes
given by Schneider on account Of al

MAKE GUEST ROOM PLEASANT
Easily Done II a Little Thought ls De-
voted to Its Appearance and
Furnishings.

Now, when weekend visits are so
universal, even the most retiring fam.
lilies are apt to find frequent use for
their guest room.
Fortunately, the old-fashioned
spare" room is a thing of the past.
And we'll 1t is so. Guests are no long.
er left TO SILVER in IT'S closed and I'M
friendly shadows, nor to gaze in dis
tress upon the horrors Of Photographic
art which haunted its walls, nor to toss
in despair upon its more or less fur
rowed bed.
The metamorphosis of the spare"
room into the guest room is only an.
other Of the delightful improvements
of modern life. The modern room has
now become thing Of Joy. A clever
hostess, instead Of making 1t re-
ceiving room for every family horror,
now strives to fill 1t with all that Is
soothing and artistic.
A charming scheme for such room
Is in mauve and gray. The paint
should be of ivory and the family pat
termed paper have a frieze of drowsy
mauve peoples and the rug have cream
and mauve tones.
This scheme is not so expensive as
one might think. for good mauve and
green pottery can be had at low prices,
while mauve and green-patterned
chintZes are easy to get.
Little landscapes, which tone in with
the color scheme, should be hung on
the walls in narrow or silver frames.
A well.appointed writing desk. with
dainty stationery. is a necessity Of
every guest room, as we'll as a little
framed card stating post and meal
hours.
There should be plenty Of room I'm.
Uttered with the household bric-a-brac,
so that a guest may place her own
belongings about her and feel instant
ly at home. Then food the room with
sunshine, and you have guest room
full Of enticement and charm, instead
Of the bleakness of the old-fashioned
spare room, where ones friendship
was sorely strained If one stopped
longer than a night.

Red to Be Worn.

There are indications that con-
siderable red of bright hue will be
worn during the coming spring, par
ticularly in connection with black and
white. This gay note is in evidence
In the new neckwear. Windsors and
four-in-hands, to be worn with en-
broidered linen collars. are shown in
scarlet silk with a border Of black
and white. Sometimes the border
consists Of a narrow frill which fin
ishes the bias ends of a natty fourth
hand, again It is q broad band on a
Windsor scarf that is tied In dou-
BILE bow.
A parasol to match this combina-
ton is one Of the new productions,
alternate panels being Of the plain

USEFUL AND PRETTY SCARFS
Most Charming New Effects Are
Those Made Of Chiffon, Finished
With Ruffle.

There are few girls who do not re-
gard their collections Of fine scarfs
as among the most treasured Of their
possession, and there are so many
occasions when these scarfs are useful,
not to mention the mere Joy Of pos
session, that girl can always be sure
Of pleasing her young friends by gifts
Of attractive scarfs, especially II they
are unique or in the very latest
fashion.
Among the most charming new
scarfs which a girl who is a good
needlewomen may make are those Of
chiffon, finished with narrow rufile
of the same, which is set on with
hemstitching. The scarfs are Of rain
bow chiffon In the loveliest shades,
ranging from white to quite deep
tints. They are long and wide and
are so picturesque as to prove an ad-
dition to any toilette. One Of Amer
ican Beauty tints, shading to the faint
est pink, was especially lovely. The
rufle which edged the scarf was not
more than five inches wide. While
hemstitching around the edges makes
the scarf more valuable as gift, II
does not add to its picturesqueness
and a girl who is an adept at hem
stitching but who can do fine plain
sewing may omit the hemstitching and
still produce highly attractive scarf.
Another style Of scarf which is
much admired at the moment. and
which has genuine beauty that will
keep it popular among persons Of
taste for a long time is the beaded
chiffon scarf with gathered ends.
These scarfs are made of chiffon, but
In the plain colors. and they are
beaded or in the colored crystal beads.
Some Of them have quite heavy de-
signs carried out IN subtle shades Of
color on backgrounds of white or pale
toned chlftons. The ends are gather
ed to point and finished with tas-
sells Of knotted silk and beads. Some
times larger beads are used for these
tassels than those employed on the
scarf, while on other scarfs a great
many Of the strands Of small beads
are gathered together to make the
heavier strands for the tAssel.

BIoodhounds for Cincinnati Police

streets of Cincinnati and finally round
ed him up at police headquarters In
the city hall. The trail Of the re-
porter had been walked over by pc
destrians, yet the hounds picked out
his path and landed the prisoner. An
other test over q crOss-country chase
giving three men a two hours start,
resulted In the capture Of the men
after travelling almost i've miles
across rough country, suburban
streets, across brooks and through
woods. The dogs found all three men,
took the trail readily and followed It
without trouble over the entire
course.
The success Of these dogs in Gin.
cinnad has resulted in other large
cities becoming interested and police
bloodhounds may soon be added to
the departments Of other large cities.
According to the history of the
bloodhound he practically went out Of
business in England when districts
established police forces. Prior to
that bloodhounds we're the police, or
ct least the people were dependent on
them IN tracing criminals.

City of Portland a Bower of Beauty

state, is fittingly named the Rose
City" The title is fairly descriptive,
for everywhere in Portland one finds
early in the spring until very late In
the fall these nature beautifiers
blooming in great profusion. They
prove not only the fertility Of the soil
in this part of the state, but demon
strate also the salubrity Of the cli-
mate. Washington's birthday is rose
planting day in Oregon. While on
Christmas day one frequently sees
beauties In bloom out Of doors I'M
touched by frost or harmed by chilly
weather.
The festival of the roses held in
June is the great gala occasion Of the
year. The city is literally smothered
in fragrant blossoms and the daily pa
rades far surpass in beauty any Of the
pageants, famous In history, held in
ancient times.
But the Rose Festival is only one
of the beautiful scenes to be met in
the Rose City, with its wide well-kept
streets, stately trees, artistic lawns,
elegant residences and pleasant pub
lie parks.
When water courses were the only
trails followed by commerce, Portland
was born and since that day, but
without blare or buster, has steadily
kept pace with the progress Of the
times. A quarter Of a million people
is a fair estimate Of the inhabitants
living in and around the city.
