TURN SQUARE CORNERS, and always
keep to the right, is rule which all
vehicle drivers should observe
whenever in a city or village, no
matter how small the place may be.
Some drivers in River Falls totally
disregard this rule on Main street,
and it is a wonder that there are
not more accidents resulting from
this neglect. The only occasion for
the reverse of this rule is in the in
stance of passing a vehicle which is
going in the same direction, then
pass on the left-hand side of the
vehicle ahead. A strict adherance
to these rules will eliminate ninety
per cent of the road accidents.
Don't turn your car around in the
middle of the block-go to the cor
ner, and KEEP TO THE RIGHT!

DO you think Frear's fight on
pork at Washington will help him
to secure an appropriation for the
much needed postofice building in
this city? Not in a thousand ye 4rs!
Send Democrat to take his place,
like Sutherland of Eau Claire, and
Rice Lake will soon have a Federal
building. Rice Lake Times. A
few more "boosts" like this for
Sutherland and he wont even dare
TO run. Frear's fight against the
pork barrel measure is commended
all over the country, and is winning
the Senator staunch and hearty
support and earnest friendship
everywhere except. of course
among those who expected a big
share of the annual hold-up.

GIRDLES ARE LEGION
CHOICE OF DESIGN is LEFT TO
THE INDIVIDUAL.
Many Are So Voluminous That They
Might Almost Be Termed Bodices-
Worn With Every Kind
of Gown.

A girdle leads this year as excit-
ing life as Dumas novel, and 1t
is surprising to see how many ad-
ventures it runs through in the course
of trip up Fifth avenue, writes cor
respondent. In one window you see
a gown whose skirt, composed Of
flounces Of lace, is topped by taffeta
panniers joined to girdle, reaching
up high under the armholes, and in
this way dismissing any anxiety about
bodice In the next you see a lin
gerie gown whose girdle is divided
in the center by cord, which division
results in a half-bodice and whole
peplum
Going down a few doors you find a
suit of white serge whose bolero jack.
ct is extended into ends which cross
in front and meet behind with jaunti-
est effect Of real girdle. Right be-
hind it there Is white crepe gown
whose hustle drapery of Roman
striped silk is effected frankly by ty-
ing the ends of the silk material in
front in such way that its loops fall
over the hips.
There is strong tendency toward
the girdle which extends both above
and below the hips in picoted scallops,
and there is an even more pronounced
impulse toward the taffeta tunic fall
ing from ceinture expanded into full
est use Of a bodice.
Everywhere red suit and
lingerie frock and ming gown, the
girdle is pre-eminent. Blouses, for in
stance, achieve distinction, perhaps,
merely through the agency of a deep
Roman striped girdle, and there come
the smartest centuries of black MORE
with ruching both above and below.
Nor does this item of the toilet re-
fuse the role Of waistcoat. Sometimes,
indeed, the belt has two jaunty little
points and a double row of buttons
which puts the suit at once into
Waistcoat mood.
In evening gowns this once restrict
ed area has expanded both above and
below, until, as in the case of one
evening gown seen recently, it tight
ly swathed the hips and made the two
deep flounces of the skirt seem like
mere postscript to the original
thought.
With such license as this it is easy
to dwell upon the prospect of a day
when we shall say: What kind Of a
skirt and sleeves am | going to wear
with my silk girdle?"

SMART COATEE BLOUSE
LATEST NOVELTY THAT HAS
BEEN BROUGHT OUT.
In Design II Resembles a Modified
BoIero Intellectually Clever Com
bination, and Is Bound to
Be Popular.

When the king apd queen Of Eng
land were in Paris all the streets and
avenues took on a gala appearance.
The sun was royalty generous to
this royal meeting, as it has been
throughout every hour Of each day Of
their majesties' visit, and on all sides
the advent of warm weather was her
aided by lovely gowns and suits that
shone as q veritable rainbow Of brill
liant colors.
An interested spectator in the grand
stand wore the extremely smart coatee
blouse that have sketched for today.
This style of blouse, that rather re-
sembles a modified bolero jacket, Is
quite the latest novelty, and it is
bound to find favor In the eye Of those
who dislike the appearance of a blouse
and skirt on the street without a
jacket, for both blouse and jacket
were cleverly combined In the general
effect Of this design.
In this case the blouse was OF geor-
gette crepe, a delightful new material
for dainty waists, and 1t was made on
exceptionally good lines.
Except in front, where it ran off,
curving up to the bust, the lower edge
was even all round, and hung over and
below the belt about two inches, then,

minated In scroll at either end held
IN line Of gathering about the sides
and across the back The back of the
blouse was slightly gathered to a
square shallow shoulder yoke, with a
similar cording. Long sleeves, pref
lily finished with double-ruftled cuffs,
were set into straight extended arm
holes. A flaring medici collar of fine
white batiste finished the neck and Is
run under by narrow tie of the waist
material outlining the edges of the
blouse fronts and crossed under the
bust, hooking in place beneath. Mar.
row lapels with square cutout border
and an outline of French knots lent
the necessary finish at either side.
AS the front Of the blouse was very
open to its lower edge, hung free over
the girdle, it was necessary to wear
little net of batiste sleeveless guimpe
underneath, and this was merely
shirred about the top and bloused over
sash girdle whose ends hung out

TO KEEP HANDS IN CONDITION
Important, After Cleansing, to Rub
: lather Well In Until 1t is
Absorbed,

Use soap rich in oil and contain
ing no alkali to crack and harden the
skin. CASTLE soap is good, but there
are other good soaps that are just as
suitable. After the hands have been
cleaneed and thoroughly rinsed. a
lather made from the soap should be
rubbed into the hands and wrists. Con-
tinue the rubbing until all the lather
has been absorbed or there is very lit
tie to wipe away. The oil feeds the
skin, keeps it soft and prevents the
shriveled appearance and feeling
which comes especially to hands that
are kept for long periods In hot water.
Hands thus treated are soft and white.
1t is important to remember that the
lather which is rubbed in is not the
lather with which the hands are
cleansed, but a fresh lather, made aft.

little fulness over the forehead, which

Boudoir Telephone.

Women of fashion who can afford
to be luxurious like to have a tele-
phone In the boudoir, but since it is
an inartistic bit of mechanism in spite
Of its usefulness, some people prefer
to hide it when it is not in use The
dainty china ladies in voluminous silk
skirts may be utilized as telephone ex-
tinguishers if the skirts are long
enough, and they may also shade an
electric light bulb in their translucent
folds.

praped skirts.

Feminine fashions are really femi-
nine just now; we've grown tired of
trying to look mannish, and have
turned to frills and drapings with
relief. The skirts are somewhat long
or than for some time past, yet the
draped ones give an effect Of short
ness. though this is from the manner
of their looping rather than from their
actual cut. One can have her skirt
draped anyhow just now, looped front
or back as one prefers tie Oriental or
the brand new hustle effect.

NEEDLESS WASTING OF TIME
Man Who HeedIessly Interrupts Busy
Worker May Properly Be
Termed Thief.

There are in this great world OF
peculiar contradictions many men who
would never fitch another mans prop
erty, but have no moral scruples
against stealing his time.
To the busy worker time is a valu-
able commodity, minutes are reck.
oned in terms of dollars and cents.
Needless interruption of their work
therefore steals from them dollars and
cents.
Who steals another mans time, by
lounging around and engaging him
in conversation foreign to the work
in hand-often foreign to any. work
that concerns either of them-is self
branded as more than "time thief"
He is stamped as man whose own
time is without value; drone who
has come idly buzzing into a hive Of
workers.
When young man needlessly dis
tracts the attention of his fellow
workers when those fellow workers
are "ears over" in work that must be
done he steals time, not only from
the fellow workers, but from his en-
ployer as we'll. That time is being
paid for by his employer.
Furthermore he is stealing from his
fellow workers a measurable amount
Of their efficiency by hampering them
in turning out their work.
And it reacts upon himself. His
employer, observing, says: "This
young man not only frivols instead Of
trying to keep busy, but interferes
with the work of others. cannot af-
ford to keep him in my employ. He is
stealing from me-doubly stealing!"
If a young man is not worker with
those whose time he steals, but mere
ly an idle visitor, he is an industrial
porch climber, none the less time
thief.
GO to the ant, thou sluggard," but
to observe his industry-not to dis.
tract his attention from work-Suc.

SEASON FOR HUNTING

THIS MORNING AT BREAK

CONDITIONS ALMOST IDEAL
Rain Yesterday Made the Earth Soft,
the Dogs Could Get the Scent Bet

Kinds of Seed Were Beaten Down.
Mondays Daily.)

This was the day of all days of the
year for the sportsman and the true
over of nature. Yesterday was the
18th, but as it was Sunday, the quail
season did not open until this morn
ing.
The huntsmen were out at first
light hunting for the Bob Whites and
the Molly Hares. 1t was an ideal
day. The rain Sunday wet the earth,
the leaves and the grass so that they
would not crackle, SO loudly under
DOT. The dogs, too, could get the
scent better. The skies were fair,
and there was just enough of a cool
tinge about the atmosphere, that In
describable tang which is felt only on
real fall day, to make a man glad
that he could get out in the open.
The rain Sunday was a great thing
for the hunters. It beat down the
weed and other kinds of seeds upon
the ground, it made the walking soft
and easy, it purified the air of all
dust, so that birds could be seen for
a hundred yards or more. No hunts
man could have asked for more ideal
conditions under which to hunt birds.
Some of them could hardly wait for
the time to come. Some were chafing
Sunday afternoon and night under
the restraints and all night long they
saw visions Of quail and dogs. Their
alarm clocks were set for the first
crack Of day, and they were in the
field or on the way this morning be-
fore many in the city turned out from
their warm beds.
There is no doubt that the quail
supply of the county has been very
materially lessened during the day.
There is not an unusually large num-
Der of them, but they are fat this
year. Fortunate is the man who was
able to get out for the day in the
open with good dog and a good gun.

England as "a nation half awake,
Since then England has become fully

All the restaurants close at 10

strictly tabooed as is carrying golf

pear at dinner in public, when they
appear at all, in khaki or old clothes,
and drink whiskey and soda instead
of their favorite vintages.
