CARNIVAL OPENS
TO GOOD BUSINESS


The Winnemucca Baseball Club IS
Carnival opened on schedule time last
night and, although the advance men
for Narder's Greater Shows had
promised much, the magnitude and
" class OF the many shows and con
cesions was a revelation to the hun
dreds who were ON hand to give the
Ball club the proper sendoff.
The feature attraction was of
course, the well advertised and recon-
mended troupe of colored artists,
- Alexander's Ragtime Band and
Minstrels. - This attraction gave
two performances during the evening
turning away many at both shows.
The big circus siseshow and ."Con
gress of Living Wonders came next
in public favor, and the big tent was
taxed to capacity all evening.
Altogether there were eight paid
attractions, with concessions by the
score, a review of which wIll be given
later.
Every afternoon and evening Alex
ander's Ragtime Band will give free
concerts, and the famed Baker, who
sings to beat the band. will also
be heard. Twice nightly the Albino
Wonder will give free exhibitions
on the flying trapeze.

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS
= FOR THE CUSHION MAKER

What is so indispensable toward the
luxurious comfort of room as soft
cushions, or so enhancing toward the
decorative beauty OF it as their covers?
, The chief mission of the cushion lies in
it's ability to soothe tired or aching heads.
but to a great extent this-and SO it is
with many useful articles-has been over
ruled and forgotten in the general es-
thetic cry for the beautiful.
Some gift cushions are so gorseously
handsome that guest shuns them.
Thus a woman finds herself with two
alternatives-she must either Danish cush-
ions altogether from the rooms or make
her own covers. ..g.
Should, perhaps, the color scheme of
her room be vivid and high. so that the
slightest disagreement in shade strikes a
Earring discordant note which confronts

look better than plain black satin cover

full effect among colors, while, IL little
decoration is required, the satin can be
embr .lered in silks. but this is D matter
for personal choice.
And here is an outlet for crochet work
ers. A very fine, delicate crochet pattern
