looking for something novel IN the way
Of entertaining will find this oriental
idea attractive and not difficult to car

The first requisite for a Japanese af-
fair Is abundance OF flowers. There Is
not a month in the FIowery Kingdom
that does not have its own special blos-
som. To September are dedicated the
chrysanthemums. II these stately fiow-
ers do not grow in your garden it is
possible to substitute for the real thing
the almost perfect limitations in paper.
OF course the cherry blossom or wis

a decoration.

The Fall Wedding Veil

THE blushing bride of the fall viii

The orange wreath continues to be
worn but it is not really a wreath.
Sometimes it is an aigret of orange
flowers connected by a tiny chain of
buds with smaller cluster sometimes
chain or garland, sometimes BAN

pendent buds over each ear. The hair
is dressed deliberately. and the garland
may follow the outline of the hair. or
a trellis of buds like a Juliet cap may
keep the veil in place.

FLOWERS made from satin and silk
are expensive to buy, but that does
not mean that these dainty trimmings
are difficult to make, merely that the
charge is made for the handiwork.
Any woman who has plenty of time
at her disposal may make a variety Of
these blossoms to adorn her hats and
dresses. A wreath OF roses can be
used to great advantage in variety OF
ways To make the rose take Ave
pieces of two inch wide ribbon, each
piece two and half inches long. From
the same ribbon cut two circles. one
an inch in diameter and the other lit
tie larger. Take three inch length OF
millinery wire (silk covered). make a
little loop in the end and twist cotton
wool around to form tiny ball. Gather
the edge of the smaller circle Of ribbon,
slip this over the cotton wool. pull the
thread tight and twist 1t several times
around the base.
Now proceed to make the petals
Double the larger circle in half. gather
the edge and fold around the center

THE CORSET YOU WILL NEED
THIS SEASON.

BEFORE ordering the fall and winter
wardrobe II is well to have an au-
dience with ones corsetiere or, II one
has to depend upon the ready made
corset get the very best model ones
pocketbook will afford.
And II you do not have your corset
made to order be sure to have the ready
made affair fitted to your figure.
In choosing a corset consider these
points: The bust must be low. the
waist must be natural and not pulled
In. and the hips must be fairly closely
confined--that IL. as far az comfort
will admit
There is a style Of corset favored by
the thin woman. This comes only q
couple OF inches above the waist hnA
leaving the entire upper part of the
body free. The most OF the corset liz q
lightly honed affair, which goes over
the hips, giving them the soft natural
line which is SO attractive
The woman with slightly more de-
veloped figure will need a corset which
comes a little higher under the bust.

her corseting than any one else. She

the proper shape and confines IT into q
regular line. There is no garment thai

SOME CARELESS PEOPLE

On October 18th, Superintendent
Rowland had a check made of the
number Of persons and vehicles
crossing the Southern Pacific track
at the crossing just west of the
freight depot from a. m. to 6 y.
m. The figures given below show
the result of the check. They do
not speak very loudly of the care
exercised by those who crossed the
track at this dangerous crossing On
that day. bat this can be partly ex-
planned from the fact that the cleo
trio bell at the crossing warns peo-
pie of the approach of trains. Fol
lowing are the figures:
Fifty-two automobiles used the
crossing. 8 of whose drivers looked
for trains before crossing the
track; "a drivers Nailed to look or
reduce speed before crossing the
track and none uf them stopped and
looked before crossing. .
One hundred and ninety-oue
teams used the crossing, ID of
whose drivers looked in both direc-
tions for trains, and lat did not
look or leduce speed.
Ninety-one bicvcles used the
crossing, of whose riders locked
for trains. and So did not look in
either direction for trains.
Twelve hundred and fifty six
pedestrians used the crossing, 76 of
whom looked before crossing the
track and 1880 did not look in Ell
ther direction for trains.

NO BIsMUTR MINED

So far as known to the United
States geological survey no bis.
muth Was produced in this country
in 1912, although little ore taken
from a mine at Leadville, Colo,
in 1911, was sold in 1912. The
ore was rich in gold and carried
l5.47 per cent bismuth. A con-
siderable quantity of bismuth was
produced as by-product of smelt-
ers, and it appears entirely possible
that in time enough bismuth may
be produced from the various
smelters to supply the domestic
market. The Imports Of bismuth
in 1912 amounted to 1872, $40
pounds, valued at $316, 44O.
Metallic bismuth is employed in
making low fusing alloys or
chinche metals, which are used in
automatic fire sprinklers, fuses for
electric wiring and solder. Some
of the salts have smooth, unct-
uous feel and are used in face and
toilet powders and in medical pre-
parations. Bismuth is also en-
ployed to small extent in making
optical glasses.
