BATHROOM NOVELTIES.

The up-to date beauty is always on the lookout for still more ingenious fittings for her bathroom-which, in a sense, is the workshop wherein the foundation of her good looks are laid
 Decidedly new this spring are glass twisted towel rods. The twisted glass prevents the towels from slipping off the rods, as so often happens with plain glass rods.
 Another new fixture which will be found useful in a small bathroom where it is impossible to have a sta tionary washstand is a basin and soap holder of rather heavy wire, white enameled This holder is made to span the bathtub from one side to the other by means of a heavy wire ex- tending on each side.
 4 white enameled manicure table with a glass top over oak will be found convenient for either dressing room or bathroom.

USEFUL BROOCH.

One of the new bowknot pins, set in a jeweled rim, has a feature that makes it useful. It is apparently a black moire ribbon framed in small dia- monds. but this ribbon instead of be- ing stationary, may be removed and other colors substituted to match any costume.
 One pin of this sort is nearly three inches long and is worn to catch up laces or drapery on the corsage or as hair ornament. Buckles for watch fobs can be found in the same style. so the ribbon of the fob may be chang ed to match different gowns.

An excellent scheme for working buttonsholes which will prevent their stretching is this: After cutting but tonholes the desired length. take a coarse thread and tie knot in the end; bring it through the goods close to the end where you begin to work the buttonhole. Then work the but - tonhole as usual with another thread, always working over the coarser one. Fasten the thread when the buttonhole is finished; draw the coarse thread tight and fasten 1t underneath.

TO CLEAN BRoADcLoTH.

While white broadcloth is one of the most effective materials used for dressy gowns, it is unfortunately per ishable and will show soil more easily than almost any other cloth. To keep it looking fresh it should be sponged with gasoline. This work should be done out in the open on a bright day, as gasoline is highly in hammable Another way to clean white broadcloth is to apply powdered French chalk. Let 1t remain for two or three days. then brush off.

Nature has made the eyes as bright as she intended them to be, and if we try to increase their brilliancy by an artificial method we may impair the sight, says a writer. Let them have all the rest they require. Do not strain them by reading when lying down or when sitting in a poor light. Bathe them frequently in cold water and once in a while give them an extra bath with a teaspoonful of boracic acid dissolved in a teacupful of dis
 titled water An eye cup which you may purchase at a drug store for 10 or 15 cents is the best method of bathing the eyes. Cold water strengthens and brightens the eyes wonGerfully and children should be taught the habit of bathing them once or twice daily.

':oLIVER TWIST IN FILM FORM
COMING HERE.

Remarkably dramatic and telling is
the motion picture play of Dickens
novel, "Oliver Twist which will be
seen at the Rhode next Monday and
Tuesday nights and Tuesday matinee
with Nat G. Goodwin as the sinister
Fagin. The production is noteworthy
for its completeness, and highly i'm
portant incidents, such as the magis-
terial viciousness of Justice Fang and
the death Of Agnes, are filmed with
resultant clearness as to plot.
The atmosphere of low brutality and
petty eriminality is admirably convey
ed and the characters are for the most
part, enacted picturesquely and in such
a manner as to make them stand out
most wildly.
SSOliver Twist has very compli-
Gated plot, but there are no points
which do not, so to speak, get
across the footlights Mr.. Goodwin S
representation of the fawning old vam-
pire is a superb and congruous piece
of acting. The technical requirements
OF the motion picture art are general
~ observed and the photography
throughout is beautiful and clear.

Flower Shop" Opened by
Peter Obertin Attracts
Wide Attention in City.
is MODEL FOR OTHER CITIES

''The Flower Shop the down town
store of the Obertin greenhouses, was
opened this morning and it certainly is
a credit to the town. The shop is the
most modern store for the handling of
the dainty floral offerings as can be
found any where in the country and
it is certain that no city of $4,000 peo-
pie in the United States has anything
any better. The whole building was
built expressly for flower store and
the plans were carried out to nicely
The shop is not only beautiful to look
at with its spotless white enamel walls
and fixtures and it's English tile floor,
but it is especially equipped to show
the flowers and plants. The salesroom
is fitted with an ice box which has it's
own refrigerating machine while in the
rear of the main salesroom is fern
cry in which has been set out all sorts
of ferns and palms. Over the fernery
IS a conservatory and here the potted
plants, in great variety, are kept grow
ing for the prospective customers.
The furnishings of the salesroom are
particularly elaborate and they lend
a charm that is hard to get away FROM
The opening day brought q large
number of visitors to the shop and the
display of plants and flowers was a
notable one. Every thing was on dis
play from the beautiful orchids of the
southland to the hardy American
beauties. Dainty souvenirs were Civ
en- away to the visitors during the day.
The shop will be maintained as a part
of the business OF the Obertin green
houses on South Chicago street.

HILL COMPANY HAS LOSS.
Floor in Steam Ship Company's Ware
house at Waukegan Fell.

About $500 worth of dana ges were
done when the northeast portion of the
floor of the Hill Boat Co. warehouse at
the docks caved and sunk fully a foot
into the ground Tuesday morning in
Waukegan with load of freight which
was badly damaged. The freight house
was unusually full and the freight had
to be piled UP high. A pile of iron
pipes which wrere quite heavy added
considerable to the pressure on the
floor. Had the warehouse been nearer
the lake, it is thought part of it would
have gone into the water.
The floor broke down and the heavy
timbers that hold it up were cracked
into splinters. The timbers under the
building are so rotten that it is be-
lieved other portions of the warehouse
will break down and sink shortly be-
cause the amount of freight coming in
every day is increasing continually and
will make the weight on the floor much
greater than it can bear.
