be cut round in shape at the lower
ends. A little ribbon and some chains
made of artificial daisies make dainty
finish to this little dress. Next comes
Miss Buttercup. and her dress first
takes form in pale yellow mercerized
lawn cut kimono style and trimmed at
the neck, sleeves and bottom of skirt
with some pretty lace. For the petals
use deeper yellow sateen and some
green sateen for the sepals Of the calyx
above the waist. The small flowers on
the bodice and shoes can be made of
yellow and green ribbons.
A periwinkle, primrose or harebell
can be carried out much i'll the same
way.
For boy a dandelion suit works out
we'll, and for this should first be pro
cured a green jersey and knickerbock
ers. The leaves can be cut in sateen,
and some wire covered with green can
be used to give little necessary firm
ness to these and to the stalks. The
cap and dandeions hanging down can
be made of yellow and green ribbons
and some artificial blowaWays added
also in front. The large blowaway cal.
be ineXpensiyely made by covering an
india rubber ball with a circular piece
of green sateen into which have first
been stuck, at intervals. some little
twisted tufts of coarse muslin cut like
a ham frill. This can then be tied Sc
curely over the ball and the latter at
tached to a stick covered with green
paper. Wild arum or thistle would
do also for boys and could be similarly
carried out

and this can be made in pale pink mer-
cerized lawn, with the bodice gathered
at the shoulders and waist and full
gathered skirt added to it. Some arti-
f1cial sprays Of roses and leaves held in
place by satin ribbon can then be at
tached to the gown. A pliable cane
covered in green makes the garland
to which some rose sprays can also
be attached. Flowers like the forget
menot, wild hyacinth or pink may lend
themselves to this design, and when
once the idea Of these floral schemes
has taken form 1t will be found that 1t
only needs a little thought and tnge-
nuity to evolve some very charming
ideas.

empire SHADES
ARE POPULAR
New and Striking Novelties For
Lamps Shown In the Shops,
Many of Which Feature Elab-
crate Beaded Trimmings.

H chief characteristic of tie
q neweSt shades is a marked
b empire influence. Not oElT
IL the shades where it is
most pronounced, is this seen, but III
the lamps themselves. The urn shaped
base, ornate with flaming torch and
floral garland designs, recurs in most
of the decorations. One of the most
exquisite examples of the fashionable
electrolier lamp was combination or
empire gold leafed metal and royal
blue glazed pottery. The gold base
was fashioned like loosely wrought
basket, garlanded and scrolled, in
which the urn shaped pottery lamp
bowl rested A gold lid topped the
urn in slightly roughened form such
as earth might have, and from this the
cluster of lights sprouted like blooming
plants on foliaged stems. The lamp
shade of yellow silk covered with gold
lace and fringe was of empire style.
Among the shades shown in the shops
are two novel shapes. The soft silks
Of which they are made must be of the
same tone when not precisely of the
exact shade as the rooms color scheme.
This silk, shallowly fluted, is fitted
about the foundation Of finest wire in
a rounded or distinctly pointed oblong,
None of the newest shades are per-
feet circles, and in this respect their
shapes differ radically from those for
merly fashionable. Another marked
difference is that the top opening is not
materially narrower than is the bottom
opening. Consequently the shade has
rather tall appearance, sometimes
oddly at variance with the ba Sc of the
lamp which it surmounts.
On these new shades there are no
frills or ballet dancer skirt effects.
Their outlines are kept sharp and dis

- ANCY dress at this season is al

z none enters into the spirit Of
the idea more than children
whose imagination often makes them
act the characters they assume with
delightful spontaneity and charm.
The graceful movements Of the
dances they trip through 50 prettily

offer themselves for this purpose prob
ably wild flower selection would
most greatly appeal to children and be
also simple to carry out. No great eX-

elementary book on botany will give

Frinqed Cloths.

Fringed cloths are often quite ruined
in appearance at the laundry. They
may be made to look like new for an
indefinite period if when they are
starched little care be taken not to
starch the fringe Fold each cloth In
four like handkerchief and then gath
er the fringe of each Part into the
hand and hold it firmly while you dip
the middle into the starch. When the
cloth is dry shake the fringe well and
comb it with specially kept toilet
comb, and it will fall as softly and
prettily as when new.

Chops En- Casserole.

A nice way of cooking chops is this:
Take six lamb chops, saute In butter
until slightly Drowned on both sides.
Law an onion, a carrot and a turnip
which have been cut into small pieces
in a casserole dish. Place the chops
on the vegetables and saute until gold
on. Add water or broth enough to just
cover the vegetables and sprinkle with
salt and pepper! Cover the disn ana
cook until tender, which will be In a
connie OF hours. Dried mushrooms
soaked over night may be used to give
special favor.

POLISHING THE STOVE.
Ways Of Making This Process Easy
and Effective.


When cleaning, If the range is cold.
the black lead should be moistened
with a little wood alcohol instead Of
with water. Polishing will then be
done more quickly.
Women generally work twice as hard
as necessary over blackening stove.
A quick, easy and clean way is this:
Have a stout leather glove to fit
the right hand. Use shoe brush.
Apply the blaeking with the round
part Of the brush. The other side of
the brush use in polishing. The shoe
brush is lighter and therefore much
easier welded than the usual stove
brueh.
Keep soft paper bags from the gro
GERS tucked in a box nailed up near
the stove. and every day slip one or
two over the gloved hand and give the
stove a rub. Wipe the dust from it
thoroughly before you apply the polish.

The Jewel Box.

This season brown and gray are fash
ionable colors. and accompanying jew
els are considered smart. In brown
Jewels we have the topaz, which is
beautiful and blends well with all
shades of brown. In gray stones there
is nothing more beautiful than the star
sapphire, with its blue and gray shad-
ings. There are very good limitations
of these stones which come in very ar
tisic settings.

Soap Economy.

Bits Of soap melted into jelly and
mixed with fuller's earth make a
mild securing soap for removing the
stains from light colored garments and
carpets.
Any odd pieces Of soap-even a
small quantity-would make a cake,
that would come in very handy.
Cleansers are usually needed in hur-
ry, and it isvery nice to have them
on hand.

FOR GIRLS TO KNOW.

People are really as grateful
for a pleasant smile and word as

A girl often knows better than
a boy, but II she is wise she will
not tell him so.
A, young head need not be an
empty one.
Giggles are more trying than
tears.
Goodness and 'frumpiness'
are not bound to go together. A

emergency provided for when light

size of match box, and the press but
ton is of an artificial jewel, ruby or
turquoise, which adds to the general
appearance of the article. Many peo-
pie who live in country houses where
there is no electricity use an inexpen-

by their bedside so that they can see

Nome. Alaska, Oct Cold time
miners who have had years Of eNpe-
rience in the far north We're of the
opinion today that the storm which
wrought havoc here six weeks ago,
swept enough gold bearings upon the
beach 10 more than pay tor the dam
age done by the elements. The loss
was estimated at over $LOoo,ooo.
After every storm here the miners
pan the new sand cast mp and find
it highly profitable. Although the
bottom of the sea in the vicinity Of
Nome is rich in gold bearing sand,
no method has ever bee ndeyised
by which it could be brought to the
surface.

GHOSTS WILL

HIGH JlNkS ARE DUE, COLLINS
WILL GET YOU IF YOU DON'T
WATCH OUT.

If you find your front gate on a
neighbors lot a few blocks away, and
that old buggy of yours that you were
thinking of trading toward an automo-
bile some day gracefully draped over
the comb of your neighbor's barn roof
in the morning, don't raise up like a
big ignoramus and begin using pro-
tame language. Just stop for a moment
and figure how tame that is to what
YOU did on a Halloween night several
years ago, before you began using a
razor, when the least of your depre-
datiOns was transferring your neigh
bor's chicken house, chickens and all,
to the far side of town, and blowing
mp the town pump with Joint pow
der, and then an all-peryading spirit
of charity and commiseration will fill
your heart, and you will actually feel
sorry for that bunch of amateurs who
were trying their best to initiate your
past deeds, and falling short of their
object in a vain endeavor to cele-
brate in proper manner the eve Of
All Hallows. There are several en-
tertainments planned for tonight an !
some of them are novel if not actually
astonishing. If some staid member of
society while vending his way from
a vestry meeting or a meeting Of the
Civic Beauty League tonight, shoulc
happen to be waylaid by a bIacn OF
pretty girls in grotesque costumes.
and told to disgorge under penalty OF
dire things, the best thing for said
staid citizen to do will be to dig up SGe
price of a box of chocolates, and big
box at that The inevitable Nd will
be on hand in all his glory and If mere

in the morning, it will be oYct his
earnest protest and desire. All togeth-

is THERE NO PEACE?

In the approaching trial of the
chief Of police it would do well at
this time to count the cost and then
TO take into consideration the re
suit Ardmore people who are push
ing the charges ought to be cOnvinc-
ed that the results will justify the
cost before they determine to pro-
cced with the prosecution.
The first cost will be much very
unfavorable advertising for the town.
That is serious cost al this time,
when Arimore is fast filling up with
people and at the best time Ardmorc
ever had to grow into a city and
TO make property values Justify the
tax rate,
The second cost is to divide neigh .
Dor against neighbor and to create
a disruption of friendships that will
last for all time to come. That dis
ruption eliminates Christian spirit,
destroys the Christian sentiment
aroused by the revival and implants
feeling of resentment in the heart
of one man against another. That
cost is serious one in any town.
Another threatened cost is the I'LL
ing of libel suits against the men
who have made the charges against
