with like purpose and functions, might be a valuable aid to the members of the Alaska Legislature, for 1t is ob. vious that however skilled may be the individual members of any legislative body, none of them, when discharging the multifarlous duties of legisla. tor during the session, can find the time necessary and requisite to the careful and proper drafting of pro- posed laws or the examination of the bills proposed by their colleagues.
 Tt is a question if the combination of the functions and duties of the Com. mission on Uniform State Laws and the bureau or board of legislative drafting would be advisable as the du- ties of the latter would occupy the en- tire time of the members of the board during the session of the Legislature, and men qualified for these duties, however public spirited, could scarce ly be expected to devote all of that time to the work in addition to the work of gathering and analysing data and material throughout the interim between the sessions, unless they were fully compensated for their time.
 If such a board of statutory draft. ing were created provision should be made for compensating the members during the legislative session at least and providing for a paid office force for the entire year in order that the work of collecting and preparing data for reference at the next session might be kept up. This is made as a sug- gestion and though we do not make it as a recommendation we believe that such a bureau or board would be found to be most useful in many ways"

SERVICE AT AFTERNOON TEA
Flower Basket to Hold the Cakes Is
One of the Best Of the ldeas
Recently Evolved.

For the woman who loves a cup OF
tea in gthe afternoon and who also
likes small cookie or cheese cracker
or some such tid-bit to nibble while
slipping her tea, there is new sug-
gestion in the way Of serving the wa
fers and cakes.
Often even sandwich plate will be
too small to hold as many crackers
as are needed when three or four
friends drop In for cup of tea and
gossip. and for this a flower basket,
the style that is fat with tall handle,
generally used for the garden when
picking flowers, is just the thing, for
IL holds a most surprising number Of
cakes. and in this way one can easily
pass a large number of tid-bits at one
time without the least inconvenience,
and for crackers, decorated with jelly
and cheese and such edibles as cannot
be laid on top of each other, this fat
basket is unsurpassed.

pink Crepe skirts.

Negligees and petticoats matching
are everywhere to be had in pink
crepe de chine; one perfectly plain
one unlined, with very scant elbow
sleeves, is finished with the border
of white elder down; it is priced at
1895, and could be made more sue
cessfully for about half the amount at
home. Another model Is of pink char
meuse, draped with white chiffon and
trimmed with a rever effect in shadow
lace, which is caught in with ros-
cite of the chiffon at one side of the
skirt, but this gown is spoiled by a
lowered white satin girdle. For those
who care to dress a little out of the
ordinary run of apparel there is q
boudoir gown OF greenish yellow near
ly Of mustard tone. It's material is
crepe de chine. and, Of course, stock
ings of silk and garters Of satin, and
the petticoat 10 to be had matching.
Almost all the boudoir slips are OF
clear white lace. A woman may make
herself very charming In the present

introduced. White Grape is very
beautiful fabric and the process OF
water proofing to which English
Grape is subjected has made 1t prac-
tical.
A turban and veil are pictured
here developed in white. The turban
is of crepe Georgette with veil of rich
net bordered with white English
Grape. There is no trimming on the
turban but the Grape border on the
veil pinned to the front of the turban
and turned back provides a beautiful
decoration.
Almost q duplicate of this model is
shown in black. These serve to
demonstrate that it is now simply a
matter OF choice between black and
white mourning The Introduction of
Grape in the body Of the hat or in
the veil or trimming Is significant of
mourning and makes these models
appropriate for first or deep mourn
ing. Grape is the only fabric every
where acknowledged as correct for
this purpose.

Something more than a mere desire
for change has brought about the
use of white for those in mourning.
1t is the expression of changing at
titude of the mind toward this mat
ter of mourning apparel. White is
not somber or oppressive to others
and therefore will make the most I'M
obtrusive mourning. For the past
three seasons black hats of Grape Cor
other fabrics trimmed with crape)
have been duplicated in white and it
is probable that the idea has been
well received because the most au-
thoritative shops continue to show
white mourning.
For the summer season wells are
made of net bordered with Grape.
Those for first mourning are large
but cool and light, nevertheless. The
very large, coarse mesh with wide
Grape border, either in black or white,
can be worn without any incon-
venience. 1t Is probable that white
Grape and other mourning fabrics in
white will make rapid progress in
popular favor now that they are well

beautiful residence high on the hill
Fall River, Is the mecca of innumer-
able curious sightseers year after
year, Apparently the interest in the
Borden murders and the personality

HANDLING or COMPLAINTS
If Not Properly Attended to They
viii Often Result In Loss
Of Customers.

Every dealer bumps UP against the
question of complaints pretty fire.
quently.
4My order was not delivered on
time" "You substituted something
did not want for something wanted. :"
There was a mistake on my BILL you
charged me too much"
How many dealers are there who
have not heard these stories time and
time again.
Complaints If not properly attended
to breed Ill will and often result In
the loss of customer. The question
is how to remedg the i'll effects pro-
duced by causes for complaint.
Complaining customers can almost
be classified nuder four heads. The
customer whose demands on the deal
er are too severe. Secondly. the Gus
toner who is trifie too shrewd and
sometimes a little INSCRIPTIONS.
Thirdly, the customer who has just
cause for complaint and last, the GUS
toner who never complains but once,
then takes his trade elsewhere.
There are good many ways to SIM
plify the handling of complaints. defer
ence, tact, and courtesy must always
be shown even to the most irate COM
plainent.
Very often a complaint is made over
the telephone. In THIS case more tact
is necessary to calm down the custo-
mer than when one Is made at the
store because in telephone converse
ton you must remember that tia per-
son on the other end of the line can
never observe the facial expression,
which counts for so much in convey
ing the correct meaning to persons to
whom you speak.
Nothing so angers the average per-
son than an Overcharge. Careful at
tention in checking over the bills sent
out will make errors of this kind
.avoidable. In these days the well
advertised goods customer has be-
come very wary to substitutes. He
or she, as the case may be, wants the
article asked for If you haven't the
article in stock do not send another
one. Tell the customer when you can
get what has been asked for and put
the name of the article on your buy
ing list.
Many dealers meet the request for
the exchange of an article with
"well-you-bought-it-d air. In
u han nNH
ground or even no grounds at all to
exchange what they buy the exercise
of good business judgment will tell
you to make the exchange or to credit
them without argument.
Many dealers give their customers
cause for complaint They are in the
habit OF asking different prices for the
same article One customer compares
the price Of something that he has
bought. with another customer and
they discover discrepancies in the
price. Then they become your enc
mics.
In the selling of goods the biggest
factor Is keeping down the number Of
complaints. IL you unduly praise or
exaggerate the qualities OF anything
you sell, the goods you sell wouldn't
make good on your claim.
Avoid these comebacks. When you
tell the customer that you will deliver
the same day or at certain time. be
sure that it Is possible. A continually
disappointed customer soon becomes
no customer at all.
