The Fan Bag.

No longer does the small fancy fan
flaunt its presence in ballroom and opera
house. When not actually in use it is
hidden in a narrow, oblong, and perfectly
fiat bag, suspended from one wrist by
long hangers, which prevent it from get
ting in the way of the hand. By it's tex
ture, it is easy to determine the charac-
ter of the bags contents, for IL of white,
mauve, green, MAIZE or Pompadour-
tinted brocaded silk or satin with a
'shirred top drawn taunt with white satin
narrow ribbon, the fan has spread of
matching hue, and ivory, mother-of-pearl,
or celluloid sticks.
A bag of pearl, crystal, rhinestone, or
coral-beaded net yelling of white or COL
ored satin is likely to conceal a fan
having a beaded bauze spread. For the
very costly small fans with gold or silver
mounts and spreaos of rose point or
duchess lace, there are no ready-made
bags. But it is easy to trim one of the
plain receptacles with a narrow frilling
of real lace, and for its ribbon hangers
substituting a gold or silver link chain.

HOW TO BE FRIENDS"
WITH THE SMALL TOTS

Children have a natural aversion to be-
ing bounced upon,' but the shyest OF
them can be won if you will wait little.
Talk to some one else in the room or
speak to the child about something of
interest to 1t, and soon you will find
that the little one will steal to your knee
and offer it's confidence.
The people who succeed with children
are those who respect the child's indi-
viduality and do not take its friendship
for granted until they have won it. A
child is quick to perceive your interest
when it is real, and is quick to re-
spond; but it is confused and repealed
by the sudden onslaught with which so
many elders greet these little pilgrims
of the beginning.

Rhubarb Gives Test TO
the Appetite in Spring

After the heavy diet of winter, rhubarb
while the almost innumerable methods
of preparing it give plenty of change to
avoid sameness. Unless the rhubarb, or
pie plant, is very young and tender, it
is better to pour boiling water over it
after Ii is ready for cooking, letting 1t
stand a few minutes. then draining 1t off
and adding fresh water for cooking, for
which these recipes are given:
JeIIied Rhubarb.
Cut fine one pound of rhubarb, put in
a granite dish with one cupful of sugar,
the grated rind of lemon, and small
piece of ginger root: cover and bake until
tender Add one-half ounce of gelatin
softened in cold water, and stir over hot
water till thoroughly dissolved; then add
one tablespoonful OF lemon juice and
pour into a fancy mold which has been
dipped in cold water. Keep in refrigera-
tor until time to serve. then turn out on
a glass dish, fill the center with whipped
cream and put small mounds of it around
the jelly.
Rhubarb Pudding.
Wash red rhubarb and cut into inch
pieces without peeling; to three pints
add three cupfuls of sugar mixed with
half a grated nutmeg. Line a well-but-

INSOMNIA SHOULD
ACT AS WARNING
The Cause May Be Simple and the
Remedy Easy to Find.
Avoid Druxs.

Sufferers from insomnia are usually ex-
tremely sorry for themselves. yet, as a
well-known physician recently remarked.
there are many worse things than lying
awake In a comfortable room, alone
with ones thoughts. Insomnia itself,
even in this neurotic age, is rarely
dangerous but is usually a symptom of
some disorder which should be seen to
at once.
III you cannot sleep, night after night,
the cause may be overexertion, mental
or physical Immediately before going to
bed, or 1t may be that you go to bed
too near being hungry. A glass of hot
milk and a biscuit taken quietly after
getting into bed may help matters.
Warmth Induces sleep.
Another method of inducing sleep is
by warmth. Many women. from hygienic
reasons. have only the lightest possible
bed coverings This of course, is ad-
mirable II one sleeps well, but 1t is much
better to be a little too warm than to
be sleepless. A good plan is to keep
an extra quilt at the bottom of the bed
and to draw it up when you wake with
that 'won't-go-to-sleep-ag feeling.
The pillow is an important matter to
the sleepless woman. She may have It
too low, or. more probably, too high.
charm for some.
Out OF Favor.
The old method of counting sheep does
not find much favor nowadays. better
way of firing ones self out physically
is to stare hard at the brightest thing
you can see, but the-best method of all
is to make a light and read an interest
ing (yet not sensationaD book for a
while. Even a very few minutes of
reading in bed helps to induce calm
sleep. because it drives away the worries
of the day and gives one that sense OF
detachment necessary to healthy repose.
Drugs should be avoided. except in the
most extreme cases. but there are GER
tain articles of food which act as mild
opiates on certain constitutions. One
woman will be sent to sleep by nibbling
the root parts of a lettuce. another by
a roasted onion. Each has to find out
what food soothes her nerves.

File Your shopping Checks.

A woman of methodical habits always
preserves her shop cheques in a letter
file case of the convenient and easily
handled blankbook type. Every time
she returns from a shopping expedition
she collects the shop receipts for all
purchases and files them alphabetically
according to the name of the emporium
which furnished them. In this way she
knows precisely what she has paid for
everything, where she bought it, and be-
cause Of being able to produce the
cheque, can usually exchange whatever
she wishes to.

STEEL TRUST CASE
SHOWS WEAKNESS
Corporation Not so Successful
in Proving There is Plenty
of Iron Ore for the indie

Direct Testimony of Witness
in Government Suit Favor
able but Counsel Throws
New Light on Subject by
Cross Examination

NEW YORK. Oct 2.-The United
States Steel corporation was not so
successful today in It's attempt TO show
that there is plenty of iron ere in this
country which can be purchased at a
reasonable figure. TO start other large
steel corporations.
The direct testimony of the witness
was favorable to that assumption, but
Judge Dickinson. for the government,
was able to show in his cross
examination that the steel corporation
geologist, William Merriam. was
founding at least a part of his testi-
mony on evidence he had heard dur
ing the antitrust. suit the government
is bringing against the steel corpora
ton.
Merriam's Testimony.
Merriam said: There has never
been a time when il was not possible
to buy up large ore reserves and a
company purchasing at the present
in competing with the concerns which
bought their mines years ago"
The steel corporation sent Mr. Mer-
RAM to Birmingham, Ala. in Novem-
Der. 1907, to investigate ore lands that
the corporation had bought from the
Tennessee Coal Mine company
What were your instructions from
the steel corporation? he was asked.
They said, We want you to go 70

gold brick -
Witness told of trip through
Brazil for the steel corporation in
quest of ore and had found it in
large quantities.
Not Good For Centuries.
Judge Dickinson, for the govern
ment, brought out that a large part
of this Brazilian ore was 35 per cent
ore and would not be in commercial
demand for two hundred years or
more.
The witness was asked whether
there was enough available iron ore
in the Lake Superior obtainable at q
fair price to start new steel cor
poration requiring 100000 tons OF
ore yearly for fifty years. The witness
thought there was. He based his
opinion on evidence he had heard In
this case on printed reports and or
his own investigation He was, how
ever, unable to estimate. the amount
OF the deposits in this section Of his
own knowledge
