HAVE PINS ALWAYS AT HAND
osefui Holder to Hang on the Wall
Provides Receptacle for Small
Convenlences.

In our sketch may be seen a dainty
and ornamental holder for hat nins
Tor hanging upon the wall by the side
of the dressing table. 1t is. of course
necessary to keep hat pins where
they are easily accessible, but at the
same time, If they are placed in a
holder or stuck in a cushion unon
the dressing table, they are generally
greatly in the way, so that, perhans.
there Is nothing better than can he
prepared for them than a holder of
the nature shown, which may be hung
on the wall
1t merely consists OF long pocket.
into which the hat pins may be slin-
ped, and at the base of 1t a little wood
is placed to receive the points of the
pins. In making 1t, a piece of fairly
stiff cardboard is cut out in the shane
shown in diagram A, and scored
across with sharp penknife at the
point indicated by the dotted line. This
board is then covered on both SIDES
with some pretty remnant of silk, and
the two little side pieces diagram b
can next be made.
For them two pieces OF cardboard
are cut out in the wadge-shape Illus
trated and covered with silk. The
lower portion of the holder is best up
wards and the side pieces sewn In
their places. and 1t is afterwards I'm
ished on at the edges throughout with
a fine silk cord
The conventional floral design that
appears upon the front should be en-
broidered in silk OF some contrasting
shade Of color. and can quite well be
worked from our sketch.

Dark Furs Becoming.

It seems odd that SO few should
realize that dark furs are much more
becoming than light, that is, to the
average woman. Sable. mink, black

contrary effect
The newest way of wearing the
stole is to put the middle of 1t on In
front, pass the ends over the shout
ders, crossing them at the hack and
bringing them forward uDder the
arms. Even fur capes with their
rounded or pointed back are worn
in this fashion. certainly very warm
and comfortable. though slightly un-
orthodox

A good deal OF tine gossamer-like
lace enters into these youthful eve
| ming frocks, appearing in scant or
perfectly fat fiounces, in slightly re-
vealed petticoat, in little fichus, etc.
Silver lace plays an important role,
being far more popular for youthful
toilettes than gold lace. Where the
tunic is of some soft silk instead of
chiffon or white it is quite likely to
fall over a lace fiounce petticoat of
sheer material
A delightful model of pale green
chiffon was trimmed with sprays Of
chiffon roses. The upper part of the
bodice was made of maline lace and
the joining line of the lace and chit
fon was hidden by a line of pink
roses. The looped-up part of the
panier skirt at the front was held in
place by trailing vine of pink roses.
Often small silken roses, foliage and
trailing vines are made into buckles,
wreaths, rosettes and clasps of all
kinds. One froek of pale blue silk
muslin showed the tunic caught up
at the right side by a large round
circle of pink roses. A cluster of
pink roses also ornamented the girdle
at the left side.
Especially worthy of mention was
a frock worn recently by a debutante
Of this city. 1t was Of pink char
meuse and shadow lace The bodice
was fashioned of the lace and there
were two deep fiounces of the lace.
The decolletage was bordered by a
line of small roses
Flowers are not confined to the
girls evening dress. They figure, WV
idly or demurely. upon her visiting
costume. her furs and her hats. and
the importers show a charming as
sortment of floral clusters or nose
gays suitable for such purposes. The
rich browns and yellows and orange
tones Of velvety wallfiowers are stun
ming, with certain dark furs or vel
vets. Larkspur and old-fashioned
groups, effectively combined in a
nosegay were tucked among the fluff
finess of whitel fox furs worn by a
smartly dressed girl at a recent tea.
A cluster of small but glowing coral
or scarlet poppies. made of velvet and
satin. is beautiful against a fur back
ground. Lovely large velvet roses of
the American Beauty shade are
among the favorite flowers fancied by
young girls. MARY DEAN.

BEST SCENTS FOR THE BATH
Much Choice Is Possible, and a Wo-
man May Use Any Particular Per-
fume Which She May Prefer.

The commonest form OF the bath
as beautifier is the bran bath. This
particular bath has the advantage of
being inexpensive and efficient at the
same time. The bran should be sewn
into a neat little square sack Of
cheesecloth covering, and dropped into
the bath when the water is run in,
The water must not be too hot, or the
bran will be cooked and thus rendered
useless, but IL warm water is poured
on 1t creamy mass is formed, which
viii render the skin delightfully."- soft.
For those who wish to be little more
elaborate there are sold at chemists
and stores little sacks OF bran mixed
with various perfumed herbs. accord
ing to taste. such as violets. orris root
and sunflower seed.
The milk bath Is not unusual and
is Is claimed that It has no rival In
identifying the skin. One well known
beauty in Paris is understood to use
milk for her bath always, and the skin
OF her throat and shoulders is as
creamy white as the liquid she is
supposed to battle them with. OF
COURSE one would not actually get
right into a milk bath as one does
with water. The milk is applied on
Wads OF antiseptic cotton. Then, to
prevent any sickness, it Is rubbed
gently with eau de cologne.
French women are also very partial
to the use of alcohol in the bath.
1t Is perfumed in some way with such
scents as lavender or violet, and those
who indulge in these baths or the
bran ones use soap only once or twice
a week.
Sea bathing is probably the most
bracing and the best form for the
robust. but In climate such as ours
1t cannot be recommended except in
the hot months. unless the bather is
very strong. Those who are unfor.
tunate enough to possess very irrita-
bic skins will do well to eschew sea
baths altogether.
For ordinary bathing purposes most
people use ammonia or borax, which
not only softens the water. bat is inval-
liable for cleaning the skin 1t is nee
essary. however, to exercise caution
in the use of these two articles, for an
overdose in the bath, instead of max
Ing the skin soft and supple, will
harden it and make 1t much too dry. |

EVERY DAY FOOD.

The following are some of the COM
mon dishes which we like to know
how to prepare well. When a piece
of round steak seems to be hopeless,
use the edge Of a saucer and pound 1t
until well cut, sprinkle with flour,
season with salt and pepper and bit
OF onion. and saute In a little butter
until well Drowned, then cover with
boiling water and just simmer on
the back Of the stove or, better, cook
an hour or two in a 1reless cooker.
Doughnuts. - During the winter
there is nothing that tastes quite so
good for breakfast as a good dough
nut. The following is well tested
recipe: Beat together two eggs and a
cup and three-fourths of sugar; beat
until the sugar is dissolved, then add
a half teaspoonful of salt. cup and
a fourth of sour milk and a fourth Of
a cup of sour cream, q teaspoonful of
soda and nutmeg for flavoring. Use
as little -four as possible for rolling
and cutting, and chill the dough be-
fore rolling out.
Graham Gems.-To a cup of sifted
graham -four add cup of sour milk.
an egg, half teaspoon of salt, tea
spoonful of soda, two tablespoonfuls of
sugar and three tablespoonfuls of
shortening. Bake in gem pans.
Coffee cake.-Warm three-fourths of

and cup of raisins with the other in
gradients into five cupfuls of bread
sponge. Mix well, add -four and set

When light, spread with butter
sprinkle well with sugar and CHINA
mon and bake
Popovers[Sift together a cup of
flour and teaspoonful of salt; mix
with a cup of milk and when smooth
add two well beaten eggs. Bake in
hot creased pans. Too hot an oven
will keep them from rising.
Rice GriddIe Cakes.-Mix and sift a
tablespoonful of baking powder, half
teaspoonful of salt, with two and a
half cups of flour; add two tablespoon
fuls of melted butter. an egg and a

PAINTER PROVES
GREAT FIREDUG
COnfeSSGS to Firing 200
Buildings

New York, Jan. LILY" the paint
er, head of the New York under
worlds arson trust, came from Sing
Sing prison today to confess to put
ting the torch to 200 houses within
the past few months. TIE unbosomed
himself to District Attorney Whit
man and two stenographers.
The confession is said to bristle with
names of ''Izzys" lieutenants. Some
are said to be notorious characters of
the tenderloin and the East Side.
Some insurance agents who worked
with the trust" and divided the
spoils, others adjusters of the big fire
insurance companies.
"Izzy, the painter" was convicted
of arson recently, under the name Of
Isadore Stein, and sentenced to serve
not less than IL years in prison. Since
then he has been indicted again for
arson. While on his way to plead to
the last indictment, he concluded TO
turn states evidence and throw him
self on the district attorneys mercy.
Mr.. Whitman was amazed at the
enormous extent of the trusts" ope-
rations. He now believes that more
than 1000 fires kindled in New York
within the past few years can be
traced to the gang.

steady at a decline of 1 to points
and sold about to s points net lower

early trading. Demand was readily
supplied by Southern selling and the
market was unsettled during the
morning. Leading trade interests pur-
chased March, but appeared to be sell
ing July.
After some irregularity during the
middle of the morning the market
weakened under liquidation and ag-
gressive local pressure.
After showing a net loss of about
FL to 81 points on the old crop posi-
tions under continued liquidation and
more or less general scattered sell
ng, the market became steader on
short covering, but there seemed to
be plenty of cotton for sale.

BANKER FLAYS
MONEY TRUST
Head Of Chicago Bank on
Stand

Washington, D. c., Jan. 16.-That
the present concentration of money
and credit is a potential menace to
the country" was asserted before the
house money trust committee today
by George NJ Reynolds, president of
the Continental and Commercial bank
of Chicago. President Reynolds said
he knew of the trend toward con
centration of money and credits" and
that he thought it a dangerous thing.
81 am opposed to the concentra-
ton of any sort of power" he said.
81 believe that concentration to the
point it has already gone is menace.
in saying that l do not wish to sit i'll
judgment on the men who hold that
power"
Mr.. Reynolds said he was opposed
to the principle of interlocking direc-
tors in potentially competing con-
Germs and that he had adhered to that
principle throughout his banking ca
reer.
Mr.. Reynolds couldn't make any
specific recommendation as to rem
edying the concentration of money
and did not, but was sure the proven
ton of interlocking directors in
competing concerns would have a
good effect. In conclusion Mr.. Rey-
nolds said that he believed "compe-
tition was not dead" but he believed
banking would be improved by re-
turn to competitive conditions.
Mr.. Reynolds said he would APP
prove a law giving minority stock
holders in national banks the right of
representation on the board of di-
rectors, and would approve law in
cooperating clearing houses so long
as it did not interfere with their con-
duct of business.
II am in favor of the utmost regu-
lating and publicity" said MIR. Rey-
nolds.

SEAB WRIGHT has new
PLAN TO GUST LIQUOR
Says its Fate Depends Upon
Definition Of Blind Tiger"

Atlanta, Jan. 16.-Upon the def
milton of the term blind tiger by
the supreme court of Georgia depenss
in the opinion of Seaborn Wright, he
well known prohibition advocate of
Rome, the fate of the liquor traffic In
the state
Mr.. Wright, who is a special attor-
ney in case brought up from the
Chatham county superior court and
argued before the supreme court yes
terday which involves the interpreta-
ton of the term blind tiger" holds
that if the supreme court will define
blind tiger" as any place where
intoxicating liqors are illegally sold,
the law abiding people of the state
will make short shrift of the near
beer saloons, locker clubs and other
places where malt and spirituous Ii
quors are dispensed
On the other hand, if the supreme
court upholds the Chatham county SUI
perior court in defining blind tiger"
as a place where intoxicating liquors
are secretly and slyly sold, then there
is no immediate help for present con-
ditiins, which Mr. Wright declares to
be deplorable, and responsibility for
which he charges to the governor and
the solicitors general, whom he says
are openly disregarding their duties
and oaths of office.
The case which is being used to
make the test and draw from the SUI
preme court a definition of the term
blind tiger" is that of w. E. Thomp-
son, ct. al, versus H. H. Simmons &
Co., of Savannah, and considerable in
terest is being evidenced in the final
disposition that will be made of it.
