Exclusive for the Worlds
Series is Secured by the
Victoria Theater.

The exclusive agency for the
worlds series baseball games be-
tween the Boston American League
team and the New York National
League team has been secured by
the Victoria theater management
and the most complete and up-to-
date service ever received in this
city will be head.
The service secured for the series
this year is illustrative and de-
serfptive service for the reproduc-
ton of which an electric board is
used, and this will be the first board
or it's kind to be used in the city.
A private wire which will be in
stalled at the Victoria theater will
conduct the service straight from the
bail grounds in New York and Bos-
ton. scarcely three seconds behHHd
the actual playing of the two teams
Previous to the playing this wire
will AFFORD all matters concerning
the play, such as the lineup, UNI
pires. weather conditions ans the
crowd present.
The electric board to be used mas
been obtained from the Philadelphia
Record, Of Philadelphia, Pa, at
great expense to the local manage
ment. On this board will be dis
played to you a complete playing
field with all the players upon the
same. An electric light viii show
the movement of the ball all during
its course in the entire game. Add
tionaI to this also a complete black
board score will be presented which
will record and show the achieve
ments of each and every player dur
ing the game and series.
To local baseball lovers this prop
osition is being met with great APP
proval and the Victoria theater bids
fair to be crowded during the series
for it's just the same as being at the
game with the exception you do not
see the players.

How to Wash Lace Curtains.

rinse first in lukewarm water and then in
cold. Bluing may be used If necessary,
but few curtains nowadays are pure
white. If the curtains are to be treated
now is the time to do 1t.
Coffee and tea are the usual agents. 1t
is said the Indian teas make the clearest
liquid, hence they are preferred, but both
coffee and tea must be strained before
using Any sediment will be apt to spot
the curtains.
Some housekeepers prefer cold water
starch, others the boiled kind.
If the curtains are to be stretched, not
ironed, then the former is preferable. A
thin boiled starch is sufficient, using, say,
about eighteen parts of water to one OF
starch.
Put this in fiat pan and lay the folded
curtain in, squeezing 1T down to distribute
the starch evenly. The curtain may be
dried in it's folds, afterward removing the
basting threads and pulling into shape.
If a stretcher is available the curtains
can be washed open in the usual way-it
is unnecessary, l suppose. to say do not
use a board-when they will be ready for
the stretcher
A good substitute for the stretcher is a
large sheet laid over the floor, the cur
tain placed upon it smoothly and each
scallop held down with a pin. The large
pins such as are used in banks are the
best for the purpose, and as they will be
rather hard to press in with the fingers, a
small tack hammer will be handy
When one curtain is in place others may
be added, passing the ScallOpS over the
pin heads.
If curtains are hung on line to dry,
the line should first be covered with
sheet to prevent marks of any kind the
curtains may take up.
In the case of small curtains they can
be hung at the windows while still damp,
with rod passed through the hem to in
sure correct folds.

Collars and Sleeves for Elderly Women.

Othervise the collar will slip down. the
lower line being lost in the yoke. In nit
ting fat necks this line is the more I'M
portant of the two. The line must be
quite tight and snug fitting, or it VIII
spread and make the neck look thicker
than it really is.
Occasionally it is difficult to locate the
base of the neck. One has to experiment
and one of the most successful nave
ever accomplished was brought ABOUT
with a plain starched linen collar about
one inch wide and the correct length. This
placed around the neck was perfect
guide to the base. A lead pencil marked
the line, then the collar was taken away
and the upper line was drawn directly on
the neck
the neck and marked directly over the
tracings on the neck. The result was
collar measuring three-quarters OF an men
under the chin and two and one-halt
inches at the ears. Then it gracefully
curved to a little over an inch at the
back The collar finished was not only
stylish but it was comfortable. with
this pattern to go upon future fittings
were unnecessary.
The set-in sleeve is still very much
quite new will be found more becoming
generally than the conventional model
The waist is cut with a fair sized tab
on the shoulder under which the sleeve
passes Many women cannot stand the
straight line around the arm, and this
break of the tab is very agreeable.
The figure that Is short on the shoulder
but full under the arms will like this ar
rangement. 1t gives an even balance, but
without broadening the figure at all. Long
sleeves will be generally adopted during
the winter.

By ELIZABETH LEE,

Collars and sleeves date the gown more
than any other detail, and if these can
be brought up-to-date then there is Ger.
tainly no reason why last winters frocks
may not pass muster, because the main
features remain very much as they were
a year ago. True, it is prophesied that
skirts will be wider and that pleats will
be introduced, but even this may be over
come, since It is not necessary the dress
shall be entirely of one material. In fact,
contrasting fabrics combined are pre-
ferred.
The Robespierre collar seems to have
taken hold of public fancy. While the
style is generally becoming. it is particu-
larly good as finish for the neck Of a
house dress to be worn by the elderly
woman of the plump type. 1t is obvious
it should be avoided by the woman whose
throat is unduly scrawny or thin, be she
twenty-eight or eighty.
The high collar exposing only the spot
under the chin is very comfortable one
for plump throats, but most uncharitable
to the thin one. This type should wear
the high transparent stock fitted to the
neck and lightly boned edging with a bit
of narrow ruching Swathe the neck in
soft folds as preferred.
1t is not an easy matter to fit a high
collar to a fat neck. especially when it
is no longer youthful. The head droops
as one gets older. making the neck very
short directly under the chin. 1t is the
general rule to make a stock collar one
inch longer at the base than at the top,
but this does not always answer. Some
times 1t is necessary to reverse this rule.

BY ELIZABETH LEE.

Soiled lace curtains should never be in
cluded in the family regular wash. but be
taken by themselves and preferably on a
sunny day not too windy.
OF course. If one possesses a curtain
stretcher the work is very much simpli-
fled. but even without this convenience
quite large curtains can be got up at
home If one only knows the proper way. 1t
is best to say at the start that no wash
ing powder of any kind should be used
for fear Of destroying the delicate fabric.
II the water Is hard it will be quite safe
to use borax, kerosene or ammonia as a
softener.
After taking the curtains from the win
dows they should be taken out of doors
and be well shaken to discharge as much
of the dust as possible. If the curtains
are put into water as they come from
the windows it will become SO dirty the
curtains will absorb the CRIME, and much
effort will be required to remove it.
Very large curtains should be folded
evenly into a large square, taking care
to have the edges meet. A strip of white
cloth basted around the square will keep
the edges together. Next catch stitches
here and there through all the thick
nesSes.
Lay the curtains in cold water to soak

hour wiring and wash in clean suds. then

A Familiar Type Of Bore.
By Ruth Cameron.

There are some people in this world
whose only interest in other folks re-
marks Is to use them as prologue to
introduce their own observations.
Surely you know this type, for it is as
common as life and dish washing and as
unavoidable as death and taxes.
Sometimes the vacant expression of
these people while others are talking
shows that they are far away on Elysian
Isles, where they always hold the center
of the stage and others always listen.
Again they appear to listen to you with
parted lips and bated breath. but you
need not feel fiattered. They are not real
ly listening to what YOU say at ALL In
reality they are watching for an oppor-
tunity to break in with Eyes, L" or
THAT reminds me" or some similar grab
at the center of the conversational stage.
These people never comment upon or
answer otner peoples remarks. They
simply cap them with remarks of their
own.
For instance, you see a picture of
Maude Adams and say that you saw her
in LAS You ike It," Whereupon it never
occurs to this type of person to ask If
you enjoyed tine play. Instead he volun-
teers the important information that he
never saw that. but that he once saw
Julia Marlowe in Romeo and Juliet"
Some clever conversationalist is telling
very interesting story of an unusual
vacation trip. The rest OF the company
listen with genuine attention. Being in
teiligent, open minded people, they like
to hear about new places and customs
But the that reminds me" lady has the
faraway look Of rapt self-communion un-
til the speaker happens to say the name
Of some place which is familiar to her.
At that she comes back to earth ana
breaks into the conversation with some
inspiring bit of information, such as
Did you say Grand Manan? l thought
Of going there last summer or Nan
tucket? Why, that's where my sister
in-law spent her vacation two years ago"
OF course. to this type of people other
folks anecdotes are never anything but
an introduction to their own. Sometimes
they pause long enough to say a word or
two of applause before they tell you the
heard. Sometimes they don't risk losing
their opportunity by indulging in that
courtesy.
Whenever I meet people like this and
feel irritated by them L always pause a
moment and remember Bishop Selwyns
definition of bore, which I think 1 have
previously quoted to you: "A bore is
person who insists upon talking about
himself when you want to talk about
yourself
ity that the person you are putting in
the that reminds me" class has just
about the same opinion OF you.
But there Is one sure way to avoid this
And that is to exert yourself to take
such q genuine interest in what other
people are saying that no one will think
of CHASING You with the that reminds
me" folks.

FadS and FancieS.

The new frill arrangement. which bids
fair to surpass the popularity of the side
frill styles, is the placing of the pleated
frill down both sides of the front. the
center being band of lace insertion or
embroidery. The frills should be about
three inches wide and extend down three
quarters OF the waist front.
Children's coats having the long
straight line are most favored. They
are made rather simply. many having
adjustable collars and cuffs, which can
be worn open or closed as the weather
demands. Serges. cheviots, boucles. dou-
ble-faced cloths, broadcloths. fancy mix
lures, wcol velours and ratines are the
materials most used.
Detachable coates of lace, which can
be effectively worn over almost any
kind OF blouse or bodice, are being made
in various shapes. some OF them stopping
short at the waist in bolero fashion. while
others reach almost TO the knees. They
are held in at the waist by draped
band and bow Of black satin ribbon
Blouses which match are no longer fash
ions demand. In fact, word comes of the
--latest cry being in coral and silver
changeabie chiffon taffeta. FriIIs furnish
the pleated elbow sleeves and the taffeta
collar in fchu shape is veiled with film
lest lace. The high draped girdle of black
satin is drawn through a silver buckle
at the front.
The evening dresses planned for the
debutante this season combine simplicity
with quaintness and are picturesque. One
very pretty dress is made of cream wolfe
de sole, hand-painted ninon and lace
The fichu. of ninon bordered with a deli
cate garland of shaded pink roses. was
caught together in front by a small twist
ed bow Of soft pink satin.
Some of the striking color combina-
tions in gowns are tomato red with
collar, buttons and
cuffs-of black, kings blue charmeuse.
with girdle of wide black satin and
black maline frills: purple velvet with a
large red velvet flower at the waist and
touches of red around the neck; flame
colored dress with taupe trimmings a
dress Of turquoise blue with gold all
over lace and black chiffon tunic en-
broidered in gold.

Many players fail to see the object
Of shifting from one suit to another
when there is no advance in the value
and therefore apparently nothing to be
gained. But there is always the neces-
sity of warning the partner when you
cannot support him in his original call
If he goes back, showing that he thinks
he is strong enough to play the hand
without your assistance, that is his af-
fair.
But to shift from one suit to another
when you are able to support the suit
first called is usually a mistake, as it
may mislead your partner into think
ing you have nothing in his suit, and it
runs the risk Of finding him short in
your suit. AS rule, with three or
more Of the suit he calls, it is better
to leave him alone unless you are very
strong. Here is case of injudicious
overcalling:
z deals and calls a heart, which A
passes. Although had three hearts.

call because it was worth more points,

trumps in his partners hand and three

the side, the chances for game were

For the Complexion.

Parsley water is excellent for bleach
ing the skin after a long summer
of exposure. 1t is specially useful after
yachting. and can be made quite easily
at home. Boil a handful Of parsley in a
quart of rain water, which must be fl
tered through a cheesecloth, and fifteen
grains of powdered alum should then
be added. Apply with a small sponge
night and morning.
Elder flower water is excellent for sum-
mer freckles. and a solution of it should
be applied to the affected parts several
times a day with a piece Of soft flannel.

for sunburn, and both cooling and pleas

The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1912-06-01

Not everybody knows that the
United States has a 2,000-mile mail
route operated by dog sleds during a
good part of the year. But such is
the fact, over the trail between Cor
dova and Nome, in Alaska. But for
these mail facilities those jewellers
in the bleak northern peninsula dur
ing the long winter months would
be without mail service, owing to
the close of navigation. Even as 1t
is. the accumulation of Alaskan mail
in the Seattle postofice, pending the
first steamers departure for Nome
this season, weighed an entire ton.
How soon the iron horse will take
the place of the sled is a question;
but Uncle Sam is looking seriously
in that direction.
