SNOW and Wind
STORM COMING
EXPECTED THAT THIS CITY
WILL BE IN MIDST OF HEAVY
STORMS THIS EvENlNG--oRIFT.
ING BADLY TODAY AT DEVILS
LAKE AND GRAND FORKS.

The snow storm which began dur
ing the night, according to Observer
erase of the Moorhead weather
bureau. is general all over the state,
and South Dakota and Canada. It
is particularly severe in the northern
part of the state about Devils Lake.
The snow there is accompanied by
blizzard, the wind reaching velocity
of thirty six miles an hour at Z
o'clock this morning, and at one Tune
during the night it had velocity OF
forty-two miles an hour. The snow
was drifting to great extent about
Devils Lake and other points In the
north and the railroads will be troubled
somewhat on this account.
The storm was headed southwark
and it's full force is expected to reach
this city this evening.
Mr.. Grasse stated that his reports
showed that there had ben fall OF
two inches of snow, but he added that
it was pretty hard to judge the exac'
fall when the wind was so high.
There was report that there was
fall of four feet Of snow at Devlis
Lake. This is erroneous. There may
be four foot drifts, but there Is only
about tive inches of snow on the level

The title to the property in ques-
ton has been perfected, and there is
now nothing in the way Of building
operations. Plans for the station
have been prepared and it is said that
active construction work will be
started early in the spring.
It is understood that the building
will be one of the finest along the
line Of the 500 railroad between Min
neapolis and the coast. The officials
of the 500 believe that Minot is des-
tined to be great distributing point

that the situation justifes the expen-

LETTERS PROVE THE

NATION Is PROUD
Of Beautiful Children of the
Capital City.

This is the last call, dear mothers, to
the Borden Baby Contest.
The great gate that has been open
for now a month to the field of won
derful prizes will be closed Thursday.
No pictures Of babies received after that
day will be eligible for any one of the
30 prizes, so that the mother who has
procrastinated has little time left to her
now.
Just two more days, remember!
Then the men selected to decide the
most beautiful baby in Washington and
its vicinity and the next prettiest, and
the next, until 90 children have been Sc
Iected for the prize awards, will spend
their time studying the dear little codgers
sent to the contest.
Every baby will be given the most
careful consideration. The judges have
been instructed not to hurry their deci-
sions in the least in spite Of the hundreds
of eager mothers who await them with
breathIess suspense.
And it is not alone the mothers OF
Washington. and it's vicinity who are
looking forward to the verdict with in

every state to say that they have never
seen so many wonderfully healthful.

published in The Herald since the con-
test began.

week" writes one interested reader,
land took up the Sundays Washington
Herald and became very much interest
ed in the photographs Of the children,
and studing the faces and characters of
the kids from their photographs.
IT note that you have quite a contest
on in a baby show, and out Of the
hundred faces, after studying them over
about an hour or so, I was trying to
figure what a time somebody would have
in deciding which one was entitled to
the first prize.
1T interested me very much that out
Of a hundred there was only one Of
them that was taken with the mouth
wide open, and underneath this picture
was Jack Everett. If you people keep
these photographs 1 want to come by
there and see this one. 1 think it one
of the most remarkable child's face l
have ever seen, and to think the photog-
rapher could make such a complete pic
ture of a face Of this kind. The child
is evidently crying and still has pleas
ant look on its face"
This is a portion of a letter written to

part of the baby contest by Mr.. Frank P.

den Baby Contest began.
have been told by folks who have
babies of their own, as well as by those
who have none, that they have spent
hours studying the interesting faces of
the children, which only goes to prove
the first statement 1 made in the very
beginning of the baby show, which was
to the effect that everybody loves a
baby.
And it seems, in addition to this, that
the whole nation is proud of the beauti-
:ul children of the Capital City.

PERSONAL TOUCHIN
WOMAN'S COSTUME
Marks Her individuality and
Adds to Her Charm.

The number OF pretty accessories to the
toilette that a clever needleWoman can
make is almost limitless.
From the crown of her head to the tip
Of her dainty satin slipper, every addi-
ton to her costume can show the per-
sonal touch, the mark Of individuality
by the application of a bit OF lace 'or
embroidery. So, then, let US begin with
ornaments for the couture and consider
in detail the frills and furbelows.
On half a yard of gold ribbon four
inches wide sew a wreath OF tiny olos-
SONS made of vari-colored ribbon and
Join at the side with a rose or rosette
of yellow ribbon. This makes an at
tractive bandeau for the hair. A bow
made of five or six loops of fine lace
wired so that 1t will stand erect and
fastened to a band of satin or metal rib
bon is also a pretty couture ornament;
while a wreath of ribbon roses attached
to a ribbon-covered wire and Joined with
a large artificial rose is just the daintiest
kind Of hair decoration for the young
girl.
Ribbon roses are not difficult to make.
You simply fold a strip Of satin ribbon
through the center, using two-inch-wide
for large ones. Beginning at one end,
roll the ribbon around on itself until the
desired size is obtained, sewing 1t fast
at the selvage edge.
How Roses Are Made.
Large satin roses are made by cutting
oval-shaped petals OF waved sizes, lining
them and threading a very fine wire
around the edge Of the seam. Sew all
to a small circular foundation, using the
smaller petals in the center, the larger
on the outer edge and placing small
ball Of cotton, satin covered, directly In
the center. One large satin rose, with a
few dark-green velvet leaves attached to
the stem, makes dainty couture deco
ration.
Now for the frilly collars and jabots.
Fine net and maline are to be much in
evidence this season made up into dainty
neckfixings. Lace, Of course, will always
be extensively used, and you can fashion
any number of very beautiful jabots and
collars by combining these materials.
Make q high stock collar OF tucked net,
having jabot made by edging a half
yard Of plain net with narrow lace. Lay
the jabot In narrow folds and attach II
to the center front OF the collar.
Rufus Of maline are made by sewing a
two-inch pleating Of double maline to
both edges Of a two-inch band OF ribbon
that Is cut to 1T the neck and fastened
over with hooks and eyes.
Black and white are the favorite colors
for these runs. but you may have one TO
match any colored gown you choose.
They are decidedly chic.
Embroidered belts are dainty and fash
ionable A little handiwork on the belt
worn with the tailored suit improves
It's looks wonderfully. Stockings en-
broIdered In self-toned floss, when you
do the work yourself, are exquisitely
dainty and Inexpensive. And plain satin
slippers embroidered or beaded In a pretty
conventional design add greatly to the
beauty Of the entire costume.
Every woman who enjoys needleworlC
should provide herself with as many
handmade dress accessories as she can.

If MEN KEPT HOUSE FAMILIES

not have, and the woman struggling to
keep down her household labors would
do we'll to consider some of them.
He would, for instance, keep things
in their places by the simple expedl-
ment of leaving them wherever they
were to be used. If the cushions wers
required on the floor, as they most
ly are, on the floor he would leave
them. and the sight of them there
would give him no irritating sense of
everything being out of order, as Il
does to a woman. Her almost invaria-
BILE habit is to keep her cushions on her
choicest chairs and sofas, where there
is no need of them.
Washing is another matter which
would be seriously overhauled IL men
had to do 1t with only the simple ma
chinery of the middle-class home to
help them. Certainly they would abol-
ish much of the frills and starching
which women encourage.
Washing Would BE simpIihed.
Children's garments would probably
be fewer and Of some material-such
as cotton crepe-which could simply be
washed out and dried without any fin-
ishing processes. White clothes, with
their demands for boiling end bleach
ing, would probably be banished for
ever.
Women are forever saving. Even the
woman who dresses extravagantly in
most cases saves the wherewithal from
some other department of expenditure,
and often she gives too freely of her
time and labor, Understanding their
value according to a mans standard.
1t is safe to argue that IL men took
up the indoor management of the home
every family in the country would come
down a few degrees in the social scale
at least, so far as little ceremonious
observances, and surroundings went.
For no man would find sufficient COM
pensation for his lack OF leisure and
the rigid watching of expenditures in
the knowledge that he was living in a
better style than his income would COM
fortabIy allow.
