Before the War"

Last Friday night the West
minister orchestra and grange
presented the interesting play
entitled Before the War" to a
large and appreciative audience.
The play was not only enjoyed
by those present, but the special
music was also thoroughly en-
joyed and received many hearty
encores. All the characters took
their parts without hesitation
and deserve C"cGt credit for the
ease of manner displayed on
the stage. Mrs. w. f. Stuckey.
as Aunt Suckey, deserves special
mention for the manner in which
she took the part of the old negro
'mammie, as does DR.. Jack
Waterhouse for his black-faced
work. The picaninny quartet
and duet were heartily encored
and Mr.. jim Nicoll as black-faced
Lew also brought forth hearty
applause. The entire affair was

Demand for Capons.

There is a market for capons in all
large cities, where they find sale at
much higher prices than common
fowls. The season for them is from
the holidays TIL young broilcrs come
in early summer. The commission men
are anxious to get them, because they
are ready sale and move quickly.
Every farmer and poultryman could
add much to his income from poultry
each year by caponizing all of the
male birds and feeding and holding
them for the winters trade The same
method is always used with hogs and
beef cattle, which sell for only five
to eight cents pound, while capons
sell at from ten to twenty cents a
pound which is very large profit on
even high priced grain.

The legislature has recently
been considering senate bill No.
40, which provides that town
trustees and city councils shall
publish their proceedings relative
to payment of bills, awarding
contracts and expenditures of
moneys generally. This is a
step in the right direction and
should pass both houses without
delay. At present the citizens
of a town have no more idea
what is done with the town S
money than a complete stranger,
unless they attend every session

Miss Pearl Nicholson, Arvada's s
candidate in the Denver News
contest, remains third in this dis
trict, and is working steadily to
win. The Commercial club would
do well to take this matter up
and boost for Miss Nicholson.
As we have said before it would
be a great advertising card for
our city to have our candidate
win. Every large paper in the
country will, of course, print a
great deal about the tourists
while they are on their trip, and
Arvada would receive consider
able advertising from this source
alone. Speak to your friends,
also, about the matter and see if
we can't help our candidate to be
the successful one.

PLENTY or CHEAP TRIMMINGS
Many Effective Varieties This Sea-
son Which a Woman Can Fix Up
for Herself.

Of inexpensive trimmings that a
woman can manage for herself there
is almost no end this season. The old
fashioned cross-stitch mas entered the
lists against the more elaborate embroi-
deries and has won a place Of it's own
in its first season. 1t is effective, in
expensive and very easy, says the De-
lineator. You can work in bright col
ored wool on chiffon and other trans
parencies, or in ordinary embroidery
floss on your cotton blouses 1t works
up in no time even in inexperienced
hands, and it has all the best houses
in Paris to vouch for its good charac-
ter from the fashion standpoint. It
makes very good looking trimming
for the bottom Of tunics and founces,
and for the edges of surplice waists
and oversleeves. A wool cross-stitch
answers the same purpose as bead en-
broidery, giving a little weight to
sheer materials, and it costs even less
than the porcelain beads.

and other fabrics with chiffon and
the wonderful colors and embroid-
cries! They make possible effects
that are enticing, and pretty brides
maids may we'll rejoice at their op-
portunities.
But gown makers have not excelled
the milliners, and hats are a fitting
climax to the beauty of gowns. Be
sides hats, there are any number of
hair bands. beaded caps. jeweled or
naments and quaint arrangements Of
the couture for those who prefer
them. Little lace bonnets and short
wells have been recently used by
brides looking for the quaint and pic
turesque in the costuming of their
maids.

Flowers for the Bride

Made bouquets, the flowers used ar
ranged In the most formal manner
and set in rim of lace, are far
smarter for the bride than the loose
clusters of flowers once carried. Sew
eral sorts of flowers are combined
to give a feathery look to the nose
gay, ferns, lilies of the valley and
gauZy ribbons combining with orchids
and bride roses and other white flow
ers. The narrow ribbons, tied In
charming butterfly knots, fall in show
ers from the bouquet, and with this
lovely notion the posies are sometimes
set in a nest of gathered gauze RIB
bon in a wider width One exquisite
bridal bouquet seen recently was
massed in the folds of an old lace
handkerchief, whose yellowed border
framed it in the needed edge of lace.
The handkerchief was a family pos
session of course. Another heirloom,
a shawl of Chinese Grape magnificent
ly embroidered, was used as tunic
over a plain satin dress, one corner
of this covering the left shoulder of
the bodice.

of white bread with creamed butter
and place slice of graham bread on

butter and place on a slice of white.
Repeat this process, beginning with

GirdIes of Flowers Popular.

Girdles of flowers are coming into
popularity. Isabel May of New York
and Washington, who is tall, dark and
slender, wore at a recent ball dress
of pale yellow filet net over yellow
satin, and her belt was a double row
of brilliant scarlet peoples in soft
silk, with tiny fringe of leaves.
}elts Of rosebuds with white gowns
have made their appearance In Lon
don in bridesmaids pageants, and
now, in addition to the belt, certain
girls have their dancing skirts adorned
two inches or so above the hem with
alternate clusters of rosebuds and
leaves. They serve the double pur
pose Of adornment and of keeping
diaphanous gowns in decorous trim
during waltzes.

shops, was in a checked silk of a red
