Mr.. Van Der Zee's address on Fur
Trade Among the Indians Of the Iowa
Country, 4.Rs7yS
Mr.. Van Der Zee told how the Diff
ferent fur companies Of England and
this country had established trading
posts in the Iowa country. He described
the life and work Of the different posts.
and told how the Industry brought
the white man to Iowa, which was then
known as the Iowa country. The
traders helped the Indians and did
much TO stop their wars When the
Indians were at peace they would hunt
and furnish the traders with furs,
which brought the latter fully 100 per
cent profit. Mr.. Van Der Zee gave
the fur trade much credit in helping
to bring the white man to Iowa.

OConnor Sisters, who were one Of the
big acts carried by Eva Tanguay and
her company last season, and the Mo-
rette Sisters, two girls who play all
kinds Of instruments.
1.-The Whirl of Mirth" is built along
lines entirely at variance with the
usual run Of tabloids. The show boasts
Of having no mediocre cinging, listless

ing, dancing, music, and a variety of
entertainment of .he superior sort.
The Whirl Of Mirtn'. is told in song
and story by fifteen people in all. There
is no chorus but the ensembles are all
worked out by the principals; such
harmonious unison proves they are
working for one end, perfect per-
Torrance, which is indeed given.

| over lavish on it with scenery and
costumes. The prices at the Orpheum
are the same for this show, adults IL

Stimulating fleet Of Beautiful Clothes

The ancient proverb assures us
half-contemptuously that Fine Feath-
ers Don't Make Fine Birds" Why there
should be any suggestion Of contempt
attached to the saying is a mystery!
For every woman at heart likes fine
feathers, and fine feathers are becom-
ing to every woman. The trouble is
that we cannot all afford their pos
session.
Yes, it is perfectly true that nice
clothes do make a tremendous diff
ference in woman's appearance. II
she is pretty, they enhance her beauty
ten-fold, and if she is homely, they
will turn hef into quite good-looking,
attractive parsonage.
Many women imagine that if they
happen to be born with fair share of
good looks, the. choice of attractive
clothes is more or less immaterial to
them I'VE don't really depend on
our clothes for our beauty" is their
inward thought. And so they grow
untidy and slipshod in their dress.
Nothing could be more foolish OF
ill-advised. For large proportion Of
people are firmly convinced that a
homely woman, well dressed and care
fully groomed in every detail of toi-
lette, is infinitely more attractive and
pleasing to the eye than pretty
woman badly dressed and untidy.
The moral effect of pretty clothes
upon their wearer is really remark.
able. For not only do they shed a
pleasing effect on others, but they i'm
part stimulating effect to the woman
who wears them.
1T is perfectly true that our clothes
do affect us in different ways" said
one matron the other day to another
when I was in mourning my black
garments really doubled my sorrows.
They filled me with melancholy
thoughts. Every time l was just
beginning to forget my troubles,
would catch sight of myself in some
mirror, arrayed in these sombre
clothes, and the day would be darkened
for me again. l think the custom Of

| in that huge package? Two perfectly
stunning hats! You can't imagine
anything prettier! l was SO delighted
that felt better at once, and spent
quite half an hour trying them on.
Nurse said that no tonic or medicine
could have done me as much good as
these two hats did"
BY the way, fine feathers" do not
necessarily mean extravaganza or fool
ish dressing, as is SO often the inter
probation of the term The woman who
buys her clothes extravagantly, indis
criminately, and without proper plan
ming will never be we'll dressed. For
the well-dressed woman is not the
woman who spends great deal on
clothes. The average Frenchwoman,
for instance, is always smartly gowned
yet she does not devote overmucb
money to her toilette. She spends
what is more essential than money,
and that is time and thought. Great
care is bestowed by her on all the
little accessories that go to the making
or marring of the toilette.
The woman who puts up a bluff" In
the matter of dress, and out of a di-
minutive income always appears
smart and well gowned, has frequent
ly been censured. How can tha,
woman dress so smartly?" her init
mates will ask. "She is as poor as TT :
proverbial church mouse! Why she
must often go actually hungry in order
to put up good appearance!
, But this putting up of bluff" is
sometimes an excellent policy. The
woman who is seeking employment
must appear well gowned. Prospec
tive employers are always impressed
by the smart-looking woman. Con
versely, the shabbily clad woman has
infinitely less chance of employment
than her better-gowned sister. All
honor to the woman who has sufficient
strength of mind and resources to
make a good appearance, however
poor she may be. She has the true
fighting spirit and is bound to sue
ceed.

Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks
AGATHA 6ElLE,

Agatha Belle was a doll stuffed with
sawdust and her head was unbreak-
able, her eyes were blue and her
cheeks were pink, her lips red and
her hair was brown.
But 1t was her hair that caused all
the trouble when she came to live in
q corner where all the toys were kept.
She came at Christmas time. SO her
clothes were new and clean, and am
sure her dress of pink and white
checked gingham, trimmed with white
braid, was very pretty.
She wore shoes, too, and white
stockings, and little straw hat with
a white ribbon around the crown.
So you see it was not Agatha Bellies
dress that caused the trouble; not at
all. it was that brown hair that could
not be brushed.
That was what the little girl said to
whom Agatha Belle was given al
Christmas. "She is a nice doll, but
wish could brush her hair; my othe'
doll had real hair"
When the little girl put Agatha
Belle in her chair in the corner the
night after Christmas the other toys
heard the remark about the hair. and
when all was still in the house a lit
tie clock upon the wall began the treu
