For the Rusiness Woman.

The up-to- date business woman is
an expert in the art of quick and ef-
fectiye toilet transformations. With
perhaps miles of subway between her
down-town Office and her uptown
home she knows the necessity of keep
ing on hand means of turning busi-
ness costume into evening dress on
short notice.
The box which holds these emer-
gency supplies may be hardly larger
than a long envelope box. She pre-
fers length to depth or width, as from
experience it has been found that a
lingerie waist or a fresh guimpe
should be rolled into a small space
rather than folded. The rolling pro-
cess does not bring so many creases
as does folding. Gloves of white silk
and white kid of suitable length are
always found in this box, a crisp veil
rolled on a cylinder of stiff paper.

fan.

One girl in a down town Office has a

her simple business hat. The same
girl knows the secret Of stabbing a
hatpin through the center of a single
big rose and securing it to her other
wise plain hat. A band of heavy lace
and a couple of loops are also easily
applied as a hat transformation. The
loops may be securely sewed to the
band and the band firmly fastened to
the hat with ornamental hatpins.

RECORD OF INDIAN SONGS.
Woman's Work of Research Among
Northwestern Tribes,

Woman's Work of Research Among
Northwestern Tribes.
That the songs. dances, traditions,
secret work and many other interest
ing features regarding the famous and
once powerful tribes of Mandan, Gros
Ventre and Ojtbway Indians may be
perpetuated for coming generations
long after these aborigines have passed
ed to their happy hunting grounds
become extinct and are known only in
history, the United States government
is now taking steps to record these
mysteries through the use of the
camera and the phonograph, according
to a story printed in The Bismarck
Tribune.
This task, which would appear to be
all but impossible, is being accomplish
ed by the bureau Of ethnology at
Washington through the aid of the
North Dakota State Historical soci-
ETY.. The person to whom this task
has been assigned by the government
is Miss Frances Densmore of the
bureau of ethnology and who arriv-
ed from Washington a few days ago.
Miss Denmore's services have been
given to the historical society for six
weeks, and she has gone to Elbow
woods, on the Berthold reservation,
accompanied by DR.. Libby where they
have begun their work. 1t is intended
to take the songs and stories on a
phonograph. BY this process they will
record the rhythm and notes Of the
songs, together with data on the parts
which these songs take in the various
dances. Photographs of the Indians
while performing also are to be taken.
These songs are sacred to the Indians
and have a great deal to do In their
worship. This work has been carried
out very successfully among the Sioux
at Fort Yates.
1t may not be generally known, but
the Indians have secret societies, and
probably the greatest accomplishment
in this work has been the inducing of
the Indians to give the secret work to
the paleface. This has been accom-
plished with the Ojtbways
All this data is to be used by Miss
Densmore in her report to the bureau
of ethnology, and these records are to
be deposited with the state historical
society in this city. .r...

CIV Dance 1aII Thrives.

Cleveland Leader: Cleveland's first
municipal dance hall paid its first
weeks expenses the first day, besides
yielding surplus of $50. The sale of
tickets at 8 cents each was 1850 for
the Saturday opening, making the re-
ceipts for the day, $34S.9O. The esti-
mated outside expenses for one week
are $500. Park Secretary Sindelar, as
volunteer ticket seller during the rush
sold 2,7O0 in one hour.
1t required the services of six young
men in duck trousers and coats to
shoe the dancers off the floor and coll
lect tickets from those who crowded in
for the next dance.
The electric sign announces only the
two -step, Cuban waltz and schottische.

were held, forty bands, perfectly re-

Saul, by Handel, and to this accom-

marched behind a wheeled catafalque
on which rested the massive oak coffin
containing the body. The effect of
such a rendition of this one Of Han
ders masterpieces must have been
wonderful. The hall was too large for
speakers in subdued tones to be heard,
so the service was mainly of choral

Pure From Start to Finish.

There is perhaps, nothing in daily use
In the home in which purity is so i'm
portant as it Is in baking powder. on
It's purity depends the purity of the ma
terlals used, the success OF the bakings,
etc. And possibly the one thing that
has served to make Calumet Baking
Powder so much OF a favorite with the
critical cooks Of the country, Is the fact
that Calumet is pure from start to finish.
You can rely on Calumet's purity for
the simple reason that every ounce of
the materials used is first tested by ex-
perienced chemists and then mixed with
the utmost care to insure its uniformity.
And standing in the can or changes of
weather ETC., cannot alter 1t in any re-
spect.
But perhaps the best thing of all, is
the fact that Calumet never fails. Every
baking in which Calumet is used. is sure
to come from tho oven as light and as
fluffy as you can wish. This not only
means wholesome, tasty foods-but a
big economy as well. Try Calumet next
