Idaho Springs, Dec. I9, 1912
To the Editor Siftings:
This locality has such an
abundance of tunnels into the
different mountains and so few of
the veins already cut have ever
been prospected that ii seems to
me that if our people would take
more interest in prospecting these
veins much good ore will be found
Take for instance the Lucania
tunnel which is into the Bellevue
mountain a little over a mile.
Several promising veins were en-
countered and | understand Tom
Johnson is opening some fine ore
on Vein IS. Other veins in the
sa me tunnel are showing up good
and with a little work would un-
dou btedly pay handsomely. There
are many other tunnels with equal
ly good showing We want a
local mining association devoted
exclusively to mining and we will
double the output of ore.

NEW NOTIONS IN
BATHING SUTT CAPS

What Is the novelty OF the moment
in bathing dresses?' many women are
anxious to know.
The bathing season is to be an early
one this year. and the watering places
Will be crowded with bathers garbed In
the dainty and piquant manner that
American women know how to achieve
to such absolute perfection. The prin-
cess dress Is the fancy OF the hour, -
says an authority on the subject Made
Of cotton Turkish towellinR, or eponge,
as the French call Il: OF taffetas. OF
washing satin or OF gloria, a beautl-
full edition of alpaca, II does not cling
closely to the wearer, but by the aid

has 1t.
Dainty trimmings are given to the
suits and the favOrite freak OF lopsided
effects Is noticeable. It is secured by a
single rever or envelope nap, arranged
half way across the corsage part OF
the dress, and. quantity enough, the
shoes are ornamented in like manner
with one-sided flaps. brought over and

COLORS POPULAR WITH
THE SUMMER BRIDE

a bride who. to use the old-fashioned
parlance Of the past, is to be Ted to the
altar" this month has chosen pink as
the predominating color Of her trousseau.
Pink is one of the most fashionable
and certainly the most assertive dyes in
the category Of summer colors. It is
intensely vivid and of various shades.
One is called geranium and another cab
bage rose. and there is a third known
as strawberry, which is alsC to be ex-
cessively modish.
The bride Of old chose blue in some
form or another for her bridal array.
Perhaps it was merely as a threading
upon her underskirt or lingerie. maybe
just as the silken sheath Of her garters
She wore IL to bring her good luck.
But the bride whose trousseau is to
be Of the blushing pink shade will have
no blue about her. Even her wedding
dress is TO be built upon a pink founda-
ton, which will shine through the outer
draperies of chiffon and lace most be-
comingly.
There is a new pink that is useful for
the purpose Of foundations. The dress
makers call It flesh color. and it is
really a wonderful copy Of the human
flesh ttnts 1t is used for stockings and
shoes very freely, and in the trousseau
under discussion there are arrays of
nesh colored fOotgear made OF suede
kid, satin and even velvet

Freshening a White Hat.

An easy way to freshen a white hal
that has been discolored with sunburn
or the ravages of weather is to crush a
yard square of white or colored NOUS
seline de sole upon the crown, allowing
plenty Of It to fan over the brim.
The crushing must be done lightly
and then caught down to the crown,
using long straw needle and fine cot
ton. Have the thread long enough TO
catch every place without rethreading
the needle, and work without letting the
fingers touch the mousseIine any more
than is possible. iDrape the material
around the crown on to the brim to-
ward the left side and finish with a
flat bow or soft knot
Mousseline de sole is much better than
chiffon or tulle to use for this purpose
as It will wear and keep its freshness
longer.

BY FRANCES sHAFFER.

Just how the bachelor Of to-day takes
the woman OF forty, Just what he thinks
Of her in the far recesses OF his mind
or how he feels in the depth Of his heart,
one would not like to venture on opinion.
But one thing is rather certain
He does not call her an old, old lady,
to be relegated to the fireside with her
peaceful knitting, as did that gentle phil
osopher, Ike Marvel, something like fifty
years ago, in his "Reveries Of a Bach
elor."
In those beautiful days of long ago,
that some folk dream about with a sigh
cf regret. women did not have a chance
tc linger by the mld-posts of life, but
were ingioriOusly hustled on to the cor
ners, where they quietly faded away, be-
cause they thought they must.
And 50 this old aunt Of forty, sitting
there away from the storm and stress
Of life. laid down her knitting to lis
ten to her bachelor-nephew as he thought
aloud upon the subject nearest to his
heart-love: then she smiled, brushed
the dimness from her old eyes, said,
Yes, Issac,' and having scratched the
hack of her head with the disengaged
needle, resumed her knitting"
And to-day We indulgently. hopefully
say. only forty"
Surely. the modern woman is beauti-
fully emancipated from some hard Gus
toms OF early times; and this is not the
least Of them, for that habit OF taking
old age for granted long before Nature
put out its betTaying signs sent TO the
solitude OF corner knitting many a woman
young in physique and heart. old only
because relentless custom made her so.
Present More ToIerRbIe Period.
WheE the woman OF to-day wants to
coax back the spirit Of other days. she
will bind her hair in a ruthless knot. slip
It under a snowy cap, buy some brand
new knitting needles. slowly pick out her
place by the fireside. where the shiny
needles Will ply back and forth until the
dimness Of her old eyes steals over her
and she falls peacefully asleep
But when the Old-time browse Is all
gone and she brushes the age cobwebs
away. she will be mighty thankful that
she lives in this tolerant period when

ing point while others fritter away al
the precious time OF their lives" she
exclaimed.
But" objected e-woman-of-LeIs-
ure, ''all women are not fitted to follow
a profession as you do. All women are
not ftted to earn money In the world
of business"
The-Woman-w who-works smiled.
Suppose we go down for a little visit
to Mrs. Blank at the end OF the block,
she suggested with apparent irrelevance.
''She will be putting her children to
bed" objected The-Woman-of-Leisure.
Just the time to 60" replied her COM
panion.
It was the hour of dusk-that hour
4, which is so sacred to the mothers Of
little cildren; that one hour of all the
day whose influence goes on in the lives
Of little boys and girls when they have
become men and women. And IL was as
The e-Woman-of-Leisure had said. Mrs.
Blank was putting her children TO bed.
The two callers sent her a message that
she was not to hurry, and they sat on
the broad vine covered porch, watching
the purple shadows of twilight grow into
the darkness Of night, and as they sat
there came to them through the open
window above the porch the low and ten
der voice Of the mother who was telling
the youngest OF her flock a wonderful
tale Of ten little toes which were once
so many fairies frolicking, In the long
ago, over hill and dale.
Each of Us Has own Mission.
Then there came 10 the silent callers
the mother-voice in song, first a lullaby
and then-because the youngest Of the
flock demanded it-that little hymn we
have all sung
Jesus bids US shine with clear. pure
light,
Like a little candle burning in the night.
Like little candle Jesus bids us shine,
You in your little corner. and in mine"
And when the Sand Man finally came
the mother came down to her callers
and invited them into her house, that
was clean and also sweet with the frag-
rance Of flowers her older boy had
brought that day from the woods. Mrs
Bank was never a pretty woman, but
there shOne in her face a peculiar radI-
anCe-the lingering light OF her twilight
hour in the nursery, perhaps. Anyway
he-WOman-Of-Leisure thought to her
self for the first time in her life. that
her hostess was a lovely woman, and
never before had she known how con-
tented an atmosphere II was possible
for one woman to create in a house by
the work Of her hands and the love OF
her heart.
And when Mrs. Blank asked The-wom-
an-Who-WOrks how the world went with
her in her downtown ONCE, The Woman
WhO-Works answered:
Well in my little corner"
And well in mine said the home
maker. with her gentle smile.
And straightaway The Woman-of-Leis- !
ure understood how wasted a thing is |
the life she leads.

The-Woman-w who-works saw, and gave
her a smile that invited her to speak
her thoughts
Il was just thinking" said The-wo-
man-of-Leisure, that It must be sim

expressed was so filed with sympathy
that It might have touched the heart of
