There is one thing that the Republican party Of Ramsey county
may we'll feel proud of and that is the fact that they have nominal
ed a ticket this year composed of some Of: the best citizens
bottom, and not one will you find undeserving: the confidence and
respect Of everyone: It Is probably one of the most representative
tickets ever placed in nomination by the party in this county, and
there is not a question but that every one of them will be elected
in November; this being the case the taxpayers of Ramsey county
may rest assured that every county office is in competent hands.

Patronize the merchants who advertise their goods and wares
in the local papers. When you see a merchant who never advertis-
es locally, you can rest assured that he is a good man, to steer
shy of. He may have shoddy goods or for some other reason he
is afraid to tell the people openly about his goods. = When yl

there is no compromise is that concerned
with sports coats for summer wear. Colors
here are boldly crude, and range from

after all the world was doing it. she has
been looking about for something new
with which to begin new fashion.
The Ruf1ed Skirt of This Summer
The ruft1ed skirt of 1870 just suits her
kind of figure. but not exactly her face,
but here she is wearing it, in addition to
a short little sacque that lives in our
memories through pictures in the family
albums. One of those insignificant af-
fairs that do not fit the figure, which
, have ruching at the edges, are finished
with turnover collar of white muslin,
are tea tinted. and tied with cravat of
narrow black velvet ribbon.
That presents the picture of the day be-
fore yesterday and the day after tomor-
row.. for rest assured all the women will
not accept this silhouette tomorrow How
ever. such skirt attached to tight
bodice, cut square at the neck and with
long sleeves, which was worn at a supper
dance the other night, had the malicious
ness to make the tight skirts of the other
women look a trifie out of it.
This gown was of pleatings let in at the
side. There were six ruff1es. each edged
with taffeta on the bias, beginning at the
waist and ending at the hem.
The tight bodice was entirely of the
net over a low lining OF silver lace
There was Pierrot ruff of the blue net
at back and sides of the neck, and long,
tight. transparent sleeves. Every woman
asked of the other if this was the style
Each shifted at first and treated the new
gown with contempt but toward the end
of the evening women were looking un-
certain and when a new fashion makes

maybe, look out for the acceptance

wishes to copy it for lovely summer
evening frock.
These many ruffled skirts are extremely
modlsh just now, and are most becoming
to the type they suit, for, naturally, the
design lends fullness to a slight figure
and cuts the height as well.
In this instance dawn-pink chiffon was
used throughout though if something a
little more substantial is preferred the
skirt may be of taffeta and the bodice
of chiffon to match. The little bow knots
set at the top of each founce down the
left side Of the skirt were in azure-blue
velvet ribbon, and lent a delightfully."-
quaint touch to the costume. The sleeves
were similarly trimmed.
Don't get the idea that such a skirt is
hard to make 1t isn't--but it will require
some time and care to arrange the
f1ounces evenly. They are simply straight

The girdle was rather broad and topped
by an outstanding ruffle of the skirt ma

end and loop caught under a natural

The same dress would be delightful in
taffeta and chiffon of that lovely cream
shade that suggests 1t might have lain
for years in some old attic chest, and the
girdle could be of turquoise blue velvet
caught with silver gauze rose. while the
small bowknots in the skirt could be made
of very narrow silver gauze ribbon.

You will probably be able to guess from
designs such as this that fuller skirts are
really on the way.

Secret of Good Croquettes.

A good croquette Is a credit to the best
, of cooks. A poor croquette is an abomi-
nation. Nowadays. when the price of
meat daily scars higher, it is clearly the
duty of every cook and housewife to
learn the possibilities of croquettes. for
there is no better way of making little
meat go long way or making yester-
days roast or joint take on new and
interesting possibilities than through this
dainty known as the croquette.
To the Frenchman the mere word cro-
quette suggests the most essential quail
flcation of the good croquette, for the
word croquette means a crisp cake. The
good croquette is always crisp, the soggy
article that reeks of lard and lays on
deserve the name.
Here are some of the don't and rules
for croquette making:
The meat used in croquettes must be
finely chopped. If you use a meat chop
per run it through two or three times to
make sure it is thoroughly cut up.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly and have
the final mixture as soft as it can be
handled.
Use only a little mixture in each GRO
quette ball. One tablespoonful is enough.
If You use more the center is not thor
oughlE heated when 1t is dipped into the
hot fat
The crackercrumbs used to roll on the
outside of croquettes should be rolled
very fine. Instead of dipping the GRO
quettes into the beaten egg paint them
with the egg mixture by means of a
paint brush. This applies the egg evenly
and mnimiZes the possibility of having
the croquette fall to pieces in the process
After the croquettes have been dipped
in the boiling fat they should be drained
on a sheet of brown paper and placed
in a warm over to drain till needed. If
possible croquettes should be cooked JUS
| quettes are sometimes served they are
| not in the same class as far as taste
| goes with the freshly cooked ones.
