One Bride.

A third set has Malines lace inset
upon 1t, and fine Irish crochet and
Valenciennes decorate a fourth.

The slips and blouses from the lin

show the simplicity of line and design
that is absolutely delightful when the
finest fabrics are used.

A City Cat in the Country.

I'VE took u cat to the country
with is this summer" said the fiat
dweller just back from vacation, "and
that cats education was expanded
thereby. Puss has never been any
where out of our apartment except
once when he fell from the fourth
story window to an awning below. Our
apartment is about 60 feet long over
all. For the first few days that he en-
joyed the unknown freedom OF a big
yard up in the country the cat puzzled
us by his antics. He would make a
short run of so feet or so and then
stop abruptly and look worriedly at
the lawn ahead of him. Finally we
guessed what was the matter. That
cat didn't care to run too far for fear
he would fall OF the lawn"

FOR THE DRESSING TABLE.
Decorated Hair Brush. Easy to FASH
ion, viii Add a Great Deal to
It's Appearance.

Often on a fastidiously decked dress
ing table the only article which Is
unattractive in appearance is the hair
brush with a plain wooden back. Many
women find that the usual silver
backed brush Is too soft bristled, and
h~abitually use a plain, inexpensive one
because il in sitter.
A good way to bring them into har-
mony with the surroundings is to
cover the backs Of such brushes with
brocade or broche silk.
S~andpaper the wood so that 1t will
hold gum or paste. Have the silk cut
the exact size and shape of the brush's
back and paste is on very smoothly.
Finish the edge, after the silk Is dry,
with a narrow border Of gimp or
galloon.
Flowered silk to match the other
toilet belongings has the prettiest eff.
feet.
A brush treated in this way makes
an attractive gift. Cretonne and small
figured chintz may take the place of
silk IL they are used elsewhere In the
bedroom furnishings.
Linen or plain silk with the mono
gram OF the owner embroidered on II
may also be used for these covers

The municipal electric light system

A number of the farmers and stock
raisers in the vicinity Of Onida will
in the spring construct large dams for
the storage of water, for use next sum-

Epidemic of Appendlcitls.

Sioux Falls.-The town of Clear
Lake appears to be afflicted with an
epidemic of appendicitis, the disease
becoming prevalent at that place to
an alarming degree. A Clear Lake
paper states that "a person apparent
ly well and heath will develope a
diseased appendix and progress SO rap
idly to the acute form or stage that an
operation becomes the only hope for
life within a few hours of the first at
tack" 1t is feared that if the cpl
demic does not abate it will not be
long until the person who has not had
his or her appendix cut out will be a
curiosity in the town. Some of the
wags are even said to be contemplate
ing changing the name of the town to
AppendIcitisville.
