YELLED EFFECTS IN DRAPERIES

are placed two white roses which make a most pleasing contrast.
 Of turquoise blue panne velvet is another gown. Its otherwise plain waist is trimmed with Chantilly of the material fastened with French flower. The wide velvet girdle is beautifully set off by a huge yellow flower with black center The skirt is attractively draped on the left side and has a short train, which instead of be ing in the back is also on the left side. The lines and color schemes of this gown are lovely.
 For the nonce, the amount of satin needed for a lace or chiffon yelled evening gown has not noticeably in creased But more of the transpar ent material is necessary than was used a few seasons ago. As case in point. take a very successful model of white satin. white maline cream and silver lace and bow. The dark fur edges an overdress of maline which. crossed near front center of the satin skirt wells it to the knees At the sides. the fur edged transparency drops in cascades which have a fetching way of hold ing themselves out from the figure
 At the back the drapery is short CT, broad and very indefinite box pleats. and falls in two rows of ir- regular, very broad and very indefin
 ite box pleats. From half way be tween the knees to the waist the foy-edsed maline veils the lower portion of a cream and silver lace bodice, partly covered by a white satin waistcoat, whose fronts-run- ming to broad points over the hips cross at the belt line There they fasten under an elaborate ornament of white and silver cordage.
 The elbow sleeves of lace flounc- ing loosely veil the arms. and the same meshine outlines and partly fills in the front of the satin waist coat, whose back makes a straight high line across the shoulders.
 In another evening gown is seen an unstintted use of maline, for edging and lace as we'll as will ingness to repeat the satin of the skirt in the bodice
 Beaded gowns are always lovely for evening wear, and a frock that is particularly attractive is bengsdis- | played by a good shop It is an all-over beaded dress made over an accordion pleated un- derskirt. About the knees is a large band of corn-colored satin fin ished at the side by bow.
 Suitable for afternoon wear or for the evening is a long-waisted frock of white crepe de chine. The waist is made on long loose lines and en- circling the hips are two rows of cording. from which a flounce of gold and silver net falls over an accordion pleated underskirt. The long set-in sleeves are finished with deep button trimmed cuffs. An at tractive Roman striped collar of silk golfine smartly finished the waist while row of gold buttons which extends below the waistline fastens the dress in the direct front

UNUSUAL ACTION.

It hardly seems possible but yet we are cited an instance of a man holding a good federal position who contemplates throwing it to the birds. And he is from Alaska, and he comes from the Fourth division and he is on vacation to the great Outside, and he contemplates settling in Seattle to practice law, and his name in Judge Frederic l.. Fuller. and he has nearly two years of an unfinished term, and the people of his division are content to have him stay. The perversity of man. -Chitina Leader

Roth Denied More
 Than One Assistant

District Attorney Roth has receiv- ed notice from Washington that he will be permitted to have but one assistant. This will prevent the appointment at least for the time being, of Harry Pratt and Reed Heilig as assistant district attorneys here.
 Soon after he took office MT. Roth was asked if he could get along with one assistant, and a little after this came the notifica- tion that he would be permitted to have but one. The excuse given for this is that this division has been one of the most expensive the government maintains.
 MT. Roth has written to the at torney-general explaining the situa- tion here, and is hoping that he will be permitted to appoint the two as sistants as planned.

perfect ventilation the glass house is the ideal structure.
 And a. they make plate glass stronger. as they study the possibli- ties of interior decorations of glass and vitrified paneling, the new apartment house will be a marvel of cleanliness. light and heauty. Think of a house wherein the sun daily shines and where the stars at night trace patterns on the Crys- tai floors. and yet a house made with hands, house strong to withstand the elements, warm in winter and cool in summer.
 Recently a factory was establish ed in Ohio to turn out glass bricks, which being hollow, might admit light and yet regulate the heat and so to speak, insulate the building. This same theory will be followed out in the roofing of the future glass house. There will be an inner roof of glass. not heavy or thick and then with about three inches space between, there is another roof, heav- fer, and more capable of withstand ing the weather. This air space be tween the roofs prevents the trans mission of either heat or cold and neutralizes the whole top of the building.
 If man building a house desires one room a pale blue or a sunny yellow he can have his bricks made of colored glass and suffuse his room with any desired color or he can have his whole house of one color with daylight coming in only through the windows and the color of the room eliminating the neCes- sity of inner glass panelng or pas teled tiling.
 There are great possibilities in the glass house, and the economy of the scheme is not the least. At present glass is expensive on ac- count of the loss through breakage, but the materials themselves of which it is made are the cheapest and the easiest to procure. Since ma ctinery has taken the place of hand blowing the expense of production has been minimized and now the initial cost of glass building eX- ceeds that of concrete or wood by only to per cent and, of hourse, the upkeep and repairs are practical ly nothing

Surely this is the day of the wo- man who las a prejudice against scissors and any heirlooms in the way of shawls. scarfs etc. which she refuses to have cut says our New York cores pondent. The vogue for yelled effects and draperies gives her q splendid opportunity Tor using such possessions in the most adyantageous manner possible. The India shawls with handsome borders of hand embroidery are as valuable to the home dTessmaker as are the old-fashioned lace scaTts.
 Here is a suggestion for develop ing a stunning grown of white satin by using Chantilly scarfs for the trimming. The upper portion of the frock-the covering for the figure be tween the armpits and waist-is of white satin. while the lower is of black satin. Straight across the col lar bone and shoulders is draped the center of one scarf. it's border being caught against tle waist line with a single jewelled cabuchon. The ends fall in long. loose folds over the arms and hands and beyond them to the krees. At the back the white satin foundation of the bodice is yelled by two lengths of narrow lace and chiffon. The sec ond scarf forms the straiehtly ap- piled flounce of bordering for a black chiffon skirt. which as mat ter of fact is merely a length of that material plaited to the waist band It falls in full folds under a length of broadest sash ribbon of an adorable shade of green, which gives to the creation it's single note of color.
 IL is remarkable what a wonderful change has been wrought in the fashionable silhouette of the femin- inc figure Those happy days of deception are past when the pain fully slight woman could appear graceful and willoy in light, airy folds. while her sister laden with avoirdupois felt comfortably hidden although not actually reduced in size, beneath the loose-fitting garments of the day. Now there can be no secrets; the basque attire of the moment with it's snug-close fitting lines is almost cruel in it's veracity, The fact that there are shirrines here and puckerings there. does not alter the fact that the models fol low the lines of the figure with some degree of certainty; yet the woman who wishes to be in fashion must try them and take the conse- quences. Some charming frocks are exploited just now for evening use,
 The charm of many Of the leveliest evening gowns lies in their simplc- ity. One whose bodice and long sleeves of black net are finished with narrow jet beads. has long Russian tunic of jet-edged net which falls over a deep flounce of black velvet.

MOTHERS IGNORANCE.

A recent dispatch from New York says The latest provision of the State of New York for saving it's babies is consulting expert on motherhood. The state department of health has just appointed Dr. Lydia Allen DeNilbiss as special lecturer on race hygiene, with par ticular attention to infant welfare work Dr. Vilbiss says:
 "The three R's for bringing up a baby are Right Method Routine and Regularity.
 "The mother must first learn the proper ways of feeding, clothing, bathing the baby, and of giving it rest. Then she must set aside spe- cial hours for each necessary pro- cess And finally she must adhere with clocklike regularity to the nor nal routine which she has laid down. I am tremendously interest ed in the campaign for saving ba- bies which New York has under way, It seems to me one of the most progressive steps taken by any state, and I am full of hope that others may follow the lead of New York IL SeeIlS so opNlouo lhdl llatedu LII urging people to have more children we should teach them to take care of those they have. Motherhood is the only life work for which we haven't considered knowledge neces- sary. Whenever boy wants to take up any line of work there is al ways some one to tell him of the duties and difficulties he must face Yet we have expected our girls to grow up and become wives and mothers without any understanding of what lies before them. I hope to have share in educating the mothers of the future as well as the mothers of the present"

THE VOICE..

q q . . o . (, q q . . . T
 Who has not seen the woman. nicely dressed, of good appearance, etc, but when she started to speak oh, dear, But on the other hand, a good voice will often atone for what is lacking in face and figure in woman.
 So many, when singing. exercise care in the formation of their words and the expression, but absolutely lose it in ordinary conversation. The strident harsh tone, and care lessness of speech. very soon grow on one if care is not taken.
 Have you ever heard person speaking, out of sight, and some in flection, something hardly definable in the voice, has aroused your curi- osity in the owner?
 Speaking on this subject reminds me of the romance of telephone girl. who owes her present high position in New York so- ciety to the charm of her voice. Daily on matters of business she had occasion to speak to great financier. The girls sweet refined voice so attracted him that he de- cided to see the owner of so rare a quality. The result was a happy ending to the clash of wedding bells
 It is remarkable how few women realize that, next to the eyes, the voice is woman's most expressive possession. and a valuable asset in any walk of life. Humor, pathos, sympathy-all the emotions can throb through its tones. and, with a little care as to expression and pronuncia- tion, every woman can acquire the hallmark of 1efinement-a soft, cul tivated voice, without the bane of af- fectatiOn

BELIEFS ABOUT GEMS.

Superstition clusters round precious stones somewhat thickly. Emeralds, some say, spur up ambition, and help their wearer to succeed. Oth- CTS hold that jade, worn in jewelry, will drive bad luck away better than the horseshoe, Again, it is held that the wearer of the moon stone possesses charm of beauty and the gift of pleasing. Under this stones influence she sees, so it Is said, everybody and everything about her in the best aspect. Some an cient writers believed the moon stone cured epilepsy, others that it's power waxed and waned with the moon.
 Some still cherish the belief that the topaz banishes melancholy and imparts serenity and contented mind If woman wears an ame thyst. she has an amulet against flightiness and folly. If she wears a sapphire, she will be proof against deceitful suitors, no matter how art full their wooing may be.

FOR THE HAIR
 AFTER AN ILLNESS.

If the hair is in very weakened state, as it is after illness or fever, brushing. clipping and vigorous sham DOGS are too severe treatment for it.
 Massage the scalp for five minutes every day or for half an hour twice a week, rubbing very little vase line into the roots of the hair
 Let the hair hang loose and free as often as possible, SO that much handling will not be necessary. Give it a rest. Its weak condition de mands that it be left alone instead of being fused over.

First Auto in Ruby
 Causes Excitement

Ruby Record-Citizen About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon there was some commotion on First street, and wild Apache yells beginning near the Ruby Commercial company's swelled down the street like a tidal wave till they lost themselves in the well-filled warehouses of the N c.
 The scurrying of dogs and the rubbering of the multitudes soon told the tale. It was Ruby's first auto mobile. actually running with Chaf Morton Adams at the wheel. With seven men in the car she swung around the corner at the N. c. bridge and was off on the govern ment road up the hill She flew like duck; she sang like hum- ming bird; she stopped like mothers cradle and ran like scared wolf
 This was the first offense for several of the sourdoughs aboard and they were troubled with chills along the spine and prickly heat everywhere else. bitches never looked so deep nor telephone poles so big, but as she showed no ten dency to take to either of them the passengers soon got "the thrill" and by the time they had run out three miles and returned they were speed fiends
 The maiden tryout was a success in every way. MT. Adams had per feet control of the machine at all times. He has rented the Cribb building, next to Mime Hoffman's, as a garage, and will Timber the machine up with a few joyrides be- fore leaving on the maiden trip to the creeks.

RABBIT PIE.
 One small rabbit eight thin slices of bacon or plckled pork, yolk of one egg one hard boiled egg, one chopped onion, one tablespoonful of finely-chopped parsley, pepper and salt, paste for crust and stock or water. Parboil the rabbit, cut it up into neat pieces and put them in a pudding dish with sufficient water or stock to cover them. Place the thin slices of bacon or pork in with the rabbit; season with salt. pepper and chopped parsley.
 Cut the hard boiled egg in rings and place them on the top. If the puddine-dish should not be full enough, you may cut up some scraps of cold veal and put it among the pieces of rabbit.
 Wet the edge of the dish. put on a strip of paste rolled out one-third of an inch thick, wet the edge again and cover with paste: press down the edge with your thumb. trim off the paste closely, make a hole in the center and ornament with fancy cut pieces of paste Brush over with the beaten yolk of egg and bake in hot oven for one and a half hours.
 FRIcAssEE OF RABBIT.
 Wash a fresh rabbit and wipe it thoroughly clean; cut it into small joints, and place the pieces in saucepan with four tablespoon fuls of butter. seasoning them with salt. pepper and grated nutmeg. Let this simmer gently, but be careful to shake the saucepan frequently as the meat must not be allowed to acquire any color. As soon as the rabbit begins to look cooked dredge in four tablespoonfuls of flour. and add one dozen small whole onions, one dozen mushrooms and two cupfuls of stock or water Continue stirring the fricassee till it boils: then draw it to one side and let it simmer gently for about forty minutes
 Skim carefully, and let the sauce reduce little in order to thicken it. Then add half teaspoonful of sugar a dust of red pepper and the strain ed juice of half lemon. Mix the yolks of two eggs with one cupful of cream; add this to the sauce let it get very hot without boiling dish up, and serve with plainly-boil- ed potatoes, or with potato puff The sauce is spoiled if allowed to boil after the cream and eggs have been added. They may both be omitted, and a glass of white wine used in their stead if the sauce is considered too rich.

BATHING BABY.
Q Q q c . . Q . Q Q .

To wear when bathing the baby have an apron long enough to cover your figure from waist to feet and wide enough to extend two-thirds around the skirt of your frock. The most practical sort of apron-because of it's warmth which it affords the little naked body that is placed upon it. is of white Canton flannel made with the furry side out. This may have several toilet pockets made by deeply folding backward the lower edge, finishing it with berring-bon- ing in pale pink or blue, facing the entire turn-back portion with rub Der cloth and finally defining the various compartments with several rows of fancy stitching. The sides of the apron may be cat-stitched with the same color as the other stitching and the belt may be of broad. washable ribbon.
 Double-faced eiderdown is a pret- ty material for bath apron, but quires more time in drying than does Canton flannel and it costs several times as much to buy. Never theless it has the advantage of be- ing much heavier and warmer than the cheaper material and this should be a consideration in cold weather.
 Worsted. closely crocheted, makes the most comfy" sort of bath apron for the baby and many mothers consider it we'll worth their while to crochet a forty by sixty-inch strip. turning back twenty inches of its lower end for pockets and running wide ribbon through it's upper end for a sash belt Undeniably it is bulky article to launder, but it makes the softest of resting places for a tender, tiny body.

the bowels are inclined to be slug g1sh. often the morning draught of hot water with a third of a tea spoonful of salt, will be productive of an easy, natural movement. The salts aid in the solution of various substances during digestion, and in other processes.
 Salt is purifier For washing out the large intestine two quarts of water are used at a temperature of 104 to 110 degd. F., teaspoonful of salt being added to each pint of water. This lavage removes rapidly large masses of decomposng mater ial, swarming with microbes and ptomaines, and the toxins produced by them. The portal circulation is also stimulated by this process.
