.ELKO DEVELOPERS new ART

The giant intellects of Elko
county had a foregathering the
other day at which it was decided
an uprising of the masses was due
with sweeping popular demand for
demonstration of the lost science
ofitrimming visitors. Thereupon
the; good men of the county seat
concluded to fill the aching void.
They searched for an opportunity
and discovered one in the approach
OF lot of tenderfoot tourists who
knew nothing better of the Cum
forts of life than to travel acr oss
the continent in touring care that
cost them as much as $4,000 a
place. Such outward evidence of
opulence filled the souls OF the
citizens with sadness and repining.
They yearned Tor the days when
the elusive ivory sphere was wont
to caracole around the saucer
shaped disc and drop in front of
the number where the money was
not. About this time a bright
light penetrated the dense minds
of the multitude and a voice was
heard in the wilderness crying out
for restoration of the shell game.
A man who was wise in his own
generation said. forsooth, why
should they do this when the laws
of the land forbade and punished
those who ventured on games of
chance? Then a solon in the
assemblage arose and delivered
himself of wurds, honeyed with
wisdom and salved with the sure
thing. He had the visage of
highbrowed divorce.loving states
man. and the crowd hearker cd to
his flow of eloquence.
Give ear, o my People. to the
law" he implnred. Incline your
ears to the words of my mouth.
| will open my mouth in a parable
will utter dark sayings of old,
which we have heard of old and
our fathers have told us. We will
not hide thereirom the children
of the east, who dwell in dark
places and whose ignorance of the
ways that are dark and the tricks
that are vain is peculiar. We will
show to the benzine buggy drivers
and the-generation to come the
wondrous works of Pharaoh and
his kind"
4 Then 10, and behold, he unveiled
a scheme to inveigle the gentle
strangers to tarry with them on
their way to Reno and witness a
demonstration of the days on the
frontier. And It did come to pass
when the pilgrims paused to
refresh their stock Of bubble
water they fell into the hands of
the Philistines. who robbed them
OF much Of their ducats and caused
soreness in their hearts. AS the
sun went down the purses of the
strangers were empty and their
lives refreshed with experience.
Then the publicens with one
accord fell upon the victims of
their generosity aud hailed them to
the judgement seat, where they
were exhorted by the good
magistrate and relieved Of their
spare shekles by the janissaries of
Justice, after which they were
permitted to go their way. And
the men Of Elko county laughed
long and heartily at the soft snap
as they counted the forms of the
affable owners of the horseless
chariots. That is how it came to
pass.
The demons tration was az
satisfactory to the disciples Of the
Egyptian King that they grew
worthy, and their anger knew nc
bounds when the High Muck A
Muck in the capital at Carson
ordered them forthwith ia
dungeon cells. But the court
came to the relief of these high
binders with another suggestion

Renzine for the Puffs.

The elaborate false coiffure of the
day has caused much anxiety as to It's
healthfulness. and learned opinions
have been forthcoming as to Its dan
gers. Hideous things are told of rats
and their origin. yet for truths sake
all this hysteria about false hair must
be taken with more than a grain of
salt. But the woman whose doubts do
not prevent her from craving curls
and clusters may reassure herself by
giving them a benzine bath before us
ing. thus preparing them to rest side
by side with the scanty locks.

Wells THAT ARE IN FAVOR
Novelties Introduced During the Win
ter Have by No Means Lost
Their Attraction.


There are some novel wells that
have found favor in the realm of fash
lon, which, though they have been
worn to some extent during the past
winter. are still holding their popu-
larity and will continue to do SO dur
Ing the early summer months.
They are made OF Shetland wool.
woven in wide-mesh patterns, and
they neither crush nor tear easily.
They are also shown in heavy silk
and silkaline and are said 20 be a
great protection. both to hat and the
complexion In inclement weather.
They are particularly well liked for
automobile use and there is no end
to their durability. Black or white
are the most acceptable colors. al
though they can be had in variety OF
colors to match the hat and gown.
March and April winds cannot be
overlooked. They are disastrous to
ones appearance. If not properly
coped with, and. II one wishes to
reach ones destination in a proper
frame OF mind as well as in a neat
condition as to hair and skin. one
must be yelled.
The Colorado statesman., 1911-05-13
A Nav Silk.

Among the newest and elegant
silken fabrics which the season has
called into prominence is satin
feutre, a very lustrous weave, heavy
of weave, beautiful of finish, but soft
and graceful despite its heayiness.
1t is quite wide, as are the finer
silks. and is to be had in plain colors
in the new and fashionable tones, as
well as striped effects-the ground
one shade and a tiny hair line OF
contrasting color crossing 1t. The
stripes are single and not too far
apart to be unduly conspicuous.
For elegant afternoon or more sim
pie street dresses satin feutre Is very
effective and will make very striking
toilettes.

3 aby's Gloves.

You can make gloves for your baby
out of thick, fine canton flannel. First
lay the baby's hand. palm downward,
on a piece of paper. and trace around
it to get the size; cut out the usual
mitten-shape pattern in paper.
Then fold the material face to face,
place the pattern on it, and cut out.
Stitch each glove firmly rather near
the edge, and hem the gauntlet end,
which is to be worn outside the coat
sleeve. Turn and sew the ribbon to
tie around the little wrists.
These gloves may be lined with wash
silk or some fine woolen fabric.

Buttons In Favor.

Skirts, blouses and whole suits show
a plentiful decoration of buttons, al
though not with the old-time profu.

buttons are used and these for the
most part at the bottom OF the
front and back panels or wherever

When used as trimming on waists
they are generally quite small and
one can use almost any number OF
them. Sometimes these are covered
with the dress material and sometimes
with the silk or satin that trims it.
