PASSING Of ParIor.

Another sign Of the times is the
passing of the parlor and the making

was like a new suit of clothes, only to
be used on special occasions. It was
usually furnished with uncomfortable
chairs that were covered up during the
week and used on Sunday.
Times have changed, however, and
people are furnishing living rooms in
stead of parlors. Here we find the
piano and big, comfortable chairs that
are ready for business all the time,

living room has taken the place Of the

people are realizing the necessity OF
having a house furnished in real home.

One Of the great French dressmakers,
known at the capital as the instigator
of weird effects in dress, stands as
sponsor for this winter costume, which
is called the zebra gown because of its
odd and striking arrangement Of strip
ed material.
Black and white velvet is draped
over black satin in the bodice, and the
skirt has an interesting adaptation of
stripes. A panel of black satin weight
ed with gray silk fringe and embroid-
cred in gray brings into harmony the
color scheme. Black satin boots and
a chic black hat complete the picture.

shops are showing. The dainty things
In the big stores are all but absolute

breadths being used to form a sort Of
jaunty kimono sack, with pointed back
and front. The two lengths have the
ends cut bias, this shaping making the
front and rear points, and the sleeves
are made by catching the breadth edge
to edge under the arm. White flannel
combing jackets are pretty with blue
or pink satin ribbon bindings.

New Paper For Bedroom.

There is a strong tendency just now
to the soft effects in French gray, pink
and blue. A new design in this artistic
combination has alternating half inch
strips Of softest gray and white, topped
with a very deep border showing
graceful baskets Of brownish gold
filed with pink and gold flowers and
suspended from large bowknots Of

The blending admits of plain blue or

Some Existing Difficulties.

Saturday:
1.-THE establishment OF the value OF
lead at the port OF entry would be one
OF tho hardest tasks imaginable. for as
a matter OF fact the shipper of load ore
when he sends his ore TO market what
the value OF his metal is,
THE difficulty In Utah and elsewhere
mainly Is due to. The complication Of
smelling treatment charges. There Is
more OF psychology than science In the
smelling companies. Considerable stress
Is placed upon the great variety OF lead
ores and tho equally excessive differences
in treatment charges, but smelling ar
rangements between the smelter and the
producer partalSes more OF a mental than
student OF human nature. and smelling
contracts are largely based upon suit
Ing the whims of Individual shippers
Each Smelter has a large assortment OF
terms to suit any given ore. while the
systems OF the various smelters differ
widely.
THE smelter pays, for the sake Of IL
lustration for 80 per cent OF the assay
value OF the ore. less or OF more cents
per pound Of the New York lead quota
ton. The fellow who grieveS that he is
paving more off per pound than come
other shipper may be meeting with prac-
tically the same net results as the other
by a clever Encouragement Of treatment
charges to suit the mental calloer or the
particular man involved.

lection purposes OF metal lead value at
the various ports OF entry will not prove
a picnic for the government any more
than the average western lead producer

value upon ore shipment.

is composed Of two units Of thirty stamps
each, and two tube mills. having total
capacity OF 800 tons or ore. For SOW
eral days past only one unit has heeD
operating and as there has been a MIN
imum OF trouble experienced. II is rea-
sonable to assume that the management
will not be called upon FOR any drastic
repair or readjustment measures and in"
reference with production.
