KEEPING THE LINEN IN ORDER
We'll Ordered Closet 10 a Joy and With
Little Care May Easily Be Pro:
vided for in Any House.

A well ordered linen closet is Joy
to every housewife who fortunately
possesses one. The really ideal linen
closet, Of course, is one that is big
enough to have window; but the
usual line closet is built into some
Granny of the upper hall, In a rather
dark, out-of-the-way corner. This sort
OF closet is, of course, just as useful as
the larger, airier one, and with little
attention can be made to look almost
as well.
Before the weeks laundry work is
put away it should be thoroughly aired
This rule applies to sheets, towels, pill
low slips and table linen, as well as to
clothes. If the day is bright and dry
the freshly-ironed clothes can be
spread on clothes horse on a sun
shiny plaza, or in an open window. If
the day is damp they should be aired
before stove, fireplace or radiator.
1t is good plan also to leave the linen
closet door open for an hour or so
every few days, when the windows
throughout the house are OPEN

of their hand quarters. but would die
from the effects Of the attack.
An attack would be telephoned from
one ranch at daybreak, and at the
same time fresh tracks Of the wolves
would be found at another ranch miles
away. This made it confusing and dis
couraging for the stockmen in pur~
suit. The services of Mr.. Elkins, a pro-
fessional hunter, and his pack of train
ed hounds were obtained, and since
then the wolves have been sighted re-
peatedly and shot at, but never over
taken until crowded back into the
Meadow Creek range
Great relief is felt and general re-
joicing prevails among rachmen
throughout the country over the fact
that the larger and more vicious one
of the pair of wolves has been killed.
He measures feet inches from tip
to tip, height 2 feet inches and
weighs $50 pounds.
The chase for the female is being
continued by the hunters, and it is be-
Ieved that she will be easily run
down, since her meat getter," as one
of the hunters called the big wolf, is
dead.

Few Yards Of Swansdown.

Swansdown is extremely popular
for decorating evening frocks, cloaks.
scarves, toques, and blouses. A most
becoming little toque of dark amethyst
plush was trimmed with waved
border of swansdown and a big white
marabou plume. The girl who wore
it had beautiful clear pink and white
complexion, to which the swansdown
seemed to give added beauty, but in
general way swansdown should not
be put too close to the face in the
daylight, as. like ermine, its white
ness is a little trying to the average
complexion.
