TORCH LAKE BREvITiES.


Miss Agnes Mitchell of Calumet,
reader. will entertain at the Lake Kin
den high school assembly room this
evening. The entertainment will start
at o'clock.
When Joseph Chapman of Tamarack
undertook to remove the remains OF
his aged father from the old ceme-
terry to Maple Hill. the grave was
found to be empty. Only a portion
of the roughbox and a couple of the
casket handles were found there. The
conclusion is that some person moved
the body by mistake. Mr.. Chapman
is investigating.
Contractor Ernest Myers Is making
good progress with the new store
building for the Lake Mine store com
pany. He has several men employed
on the Job and will rush the work to
completion.
A large crowd from the Torch Lake
towns will go to the Calumet theatei
the evening of Nov 10, for the pur
pose of hearing the concert by Mrs
Carrie Jacobs Bond.

EASY TO FRESHEN UP SUIT
Touches Of Trimming With the Re-
quIsite Cleaning, viii Make II
az Good as New.

Perhaps you have a perfectly good
suit that was fresh from the tailors
hands last season and which you will
want to wear now. provided IL can
be freshened a bit and altered to
conform to the mode OF the present
Naturally. you viii. want this change
made with as little expense as pos
sible. for 1t Is not, after all. last
years costume?
At glance you see that the coat
is too short, the skirt too narrow
and the collar and cuffs quite differ
ent from the newest patterns. and
the question at once arises, How can
1t be remodeled?"
The coat, requiring the most atten-
ton, we will attend 20 lrst.
Taffeta silk. sr one OF the many
fancy linen braids. and new buttons
will be all the trimming required A
new collar, either of the shawl or
sailor variety, will do much to bring
the coat up to date. The addition
of : broad band around the bottom
will give the required length.
By mitering the corners, braid four
or six inches wide can easily be made
into square sailor collar and brought
in a broad band over the shoulders
and from there down the front Of the
| coat. Cuffs of braid finish the coat
| trimming.
If braid is used on the coat carry
out this effect on the skirt by opening
the side seam half way from hem
to waist line. and over this stitch
the wide braid. allowing it to con.
tnue to the waist over the skirt.
With a band OF braid around the
bottom of the skirt this makes an
effective trimming, especially if but
tons matching those used on the coat
are placed at intervals of four inches
on the side band of braid.
A belt of braid or soft girdle OF
silk completes the remodeled suit
which will be found satisfactory in
every way to the woman with lin
tied purse.

march OF fashion will be resumed and
the metropolis will speedily learn what
its most adored citizens will wear.
Much has been said of the imminent

Lawrence river. near Ogdensburg, n.
Y. Six pieces of silver flow from the

POOR MANS BRICK IN MEXICO

A crude but valuable art In Mexico
Is the making of adobe, sun-bsked
brick. II II were not for this crudely

came they denuded the forests to the
extent that vast tracts were left tree
less. Lumber IL thus one OF the rare
commodities of Mexico.
The implements used by a Mexican
mud-brick maker are OF the most
primitive kind: earthen jars to hold
the water needed in the mixing. a
wooden mold In which the mud
squares are shaped, and his own deft
palms. Some Mexican builders make
only the walls Of their homes OF the
adobe and thatch with straw, palm
fronds or banana stalks. Others,

the adobe. When this is the case the
adobe roof Is supported by beams. AS

well supported 1t is likely to collapse

ANAs1AsiA is GYPSY QUEEN
She Has Just Turned Twenty and 10
Beauty Of the First
Water.

Nikolai, the Gypsy king. Is dead,
and his queen, Anastasia, reigns in his
place in the world that amuses itself,
says a st. Petersburg correspondent.
For thirty years Nikolai was the hero
Of the variety and concert stage, OF
after dinner entertainments and pri-
vate cabaret shows. He was o COM
poser as well as a singer, a v~irtuoso
on the guitar and a graceful dancer.
His troupe usually consisted Of thirty
to forty Gypsies, whose gorgeous cos
tunes were the delight Of st. Peters
burg. He himself was always dressed
in red silk with plenty of gold lace,
his breast covered with medals, coins
and decorations. He wore a sword and
a sabretasche and in the latter he
stuffed the paper money, gold and sill
YER thrown at him during his perform
ances.
The Russian Gypsy has a musical
field Of his own. He doesn't use the
fiddle, but he plays the guitar and
sings better than any t%roubadour Of
old.
Anastasia was his third or fourth
queen. She has just turned twenty
and is a full-1edged Gypsy. She is a
beauty Of the first water. All st.
Petersburg calls her diva or queen,
but since she attained popularity and
wealth she has never appeared in the
national costume. The latest from
Paris is hardly good enough for her.
She has a high pitched mezzo soprano
voice and makes her hearers laugh
and cry at will.
And she sits there blazing with dia-
monds from the buckles Of her satin
slippers to the top of her head. hun
dred ruble notes, silver, gold and COP
per fly about her from boxes, stalls
and galleries. These volunteer contri-
buttons she calls her taxes" At the
end of her act her majesty collects
them with a broom and woe to the
Gypsy who dares sneak a single ko-
peck, for Anastasia has the eye of an
eagle n Is as suspicious as a Turk.
