Empire frocks are always pretty for
the wee children. This one is trimmed
most becomingly and, as the skirt is
made with a straight lower edge. it can
be utilized for ~houncing and bordarcd
material as well as for plain. The body
portion. or deep yoke, is tucked in groups
and. between these groups. trimming Is
arranged. The skirt is simply straight
and gathered at the upper edge; conse-
quently. very little labor is required
for the making while the result is charm

CUPBOARD FOR SILVER
PROPER RECEPTAcLH HOUSE
WIFE WILL APPRECIATE.
A~dornments Of the Table Must BY
No Means Be Kept "Anywhere"-
Should Have Most Regular
Care and Attention,

There Is not the slightest doubt that
a wonderful charm to the appearance
of a table-a charm which can be I'M
parted In no other way. At the same
time there Is equal certainty that the
possession Of any quantity Of silver
means a very real addition to the DO
nestle labors of the housewife. Few
housewives. though, are there who do
not prefer the additional labor rather
than forego the pleasure OF counting
more or less silver among their
their household treasures.
Whenever there LIS the possible
choice always buy silver goods as
plain as possible-they are more cost
ly than when deliberately chased and
engraved. but they are also far less
trouble to keep in order and look In
hnitely worth the extra value.
Because there is not enough silver.
perhaps, to warrant the adoption OF a
silver pantry or great canteen. do not
fall into the error Of keeping silver
anywhere" If there Is no small cup
board fixed in the house which can
be used for the purpose. have a silver
cupboard made-a good strong cup
board lined right through with green
baize. With larger things-cake and
bread baskets, cream-Jugs. and so on
just stand them on the shelves OF
such a cupboard. Small cutlery things
are better II kept in baize rolls. which
are quite easily made, Take two
strips of baize, one wider than the
other. Join them together In en-
velop fashion. and stitch across In a
succession of pockets. Slip a fork or
spoon into each of the pockets. fasten
the flap over with a couple OF patent
clips. and the result is a thing which
will keep the silver much better than
any baize-lined baskets. 1t is not wise
as a rule to keep silver goods In satin
or velvet-lined jewelers. cases. as fire.
q%uently In time the color or friction
of the lining affects the color of the
silver.
Silver must be attended to regular
ly-not once In three months. Keep
a special china or e~arthenware bowl
for washing the silver in each time 1t
Is used. Simply make a good soap
iather with boiling water. adding a
tablespoonful of broken soda for every
quart OF water.

the right kind for each gown. when

pearl and rhinestone effects are es-
pecially good, and there are cleaning
pendants, little bowknots and other
ornaments with which to deck our
ears and fill our trinket boxes.

SMALLPOX IN THE COUNTRY
By ELIZABETH MrLNEa

In the cities children In school learn the
danger of contagious diseases and the
duty of obedience to the commands OF
the health officers, but how can we
reach the people in the country Two
miles from Blocton Is small settlement
called Lowery Town. The carelessness
OF one family recently menaced not only
tnls little community, but also Bloeton
and the surrounding country.
IN little two-roomed house lived
widow and her daughter. There was an
other daughter married and living In
Tuscaloosa; recently this daughter came
nome on a visit. She had been home sew
erai days when one morning the younger
sister appeared al a house some distance
beyond Lowery Town, asking If she could
puy milk for her sister who was Ill. The
lady agreed to let them have quart
every day while 1t was needed II they
could send for 1t. As the girl was leaving
she asked If the family would not come
to the buryin' of her sisters baby that
afternoon. They did not go fortunately.
The next morning the girl came again
marked I'VE think maybe she's got
smallpox The county health officer was
summoned and pronounced II smallpox
and bad case at that. He vaccinated
the family and as many of the neighhoss
as would admit to having been exposcu
and placed the house under quarantine.
1t was several days later, however, that
he discovered that the teacher of a school
nearby had taken a number of the pupils
to look at the dead baby.

ATLANTA ATHLETIC
CLUB EASILY WINS
FROM AUBURN FIVE

Atlanta, January 11.-tSpecial -
Playing mostly substitutes throughout,
the Atlanta Athletic club basketball
team defeated Auburn here tonight by
the score of So to 30.
Superior passing and the excellent
goal shooting of Smith and Dubard
told the tale. The former made t2
field goals and the latter IL. Clements
played a great game for Auburn and
was mixed up ether in passing or in
shooting every goal Auburn made. The
two field goals that Major made were
the most spectacular ever seen here.
The first half vas the fastest, but
this was because the guards of the two
teams played better ball in the second
period.
Auburn ran the club mighty close in
this half The game was devoid of
the usual rough features attendant
upon games here and both the Auburn
and local teams we're congratulated
for their pretty game by several of the
SPECTATORS.
