SIX-POINTED LUNCH CLOTH
New Idea Bids Fair to Be Popular
With the Woman Who Does
Much Entertaining.

Our eyes have long been accus-
toned % seeing the two-pointed and
the four-pointed luncheon cloth, but
the cloth having six points is some
thing new. Don't let the word point
mislead you. The six extensions do
not run off to points. Instead they
are rectangular in shape. The cen.
ter cloth on display was ~ornamented
with three punches of daisies. the
group being connected with a line of
tiny dots which called for French
knots. On each rectangular shape a
spray of a few knots were embroid-
cred. The centers Of the flowers were
also filled in with French knots. The
tiny petals were padded and worked
in the satin stitch. The stems Of the
flowers were outlined while the seal
lops around the points were worked
solid in the ~buttonhole stitch. Be.
tween the six points were placed six
tumbler doilies, each ornamented
with a spray Of flowers and q crescent
of French knots.

NEW IDEAS IN HANDKERCHIEF
One Is to Make Them of Chiffon, With
White or Coiored Cord
Decorations.

The newest thing in h~andkerchiefs
is made Of chiffon with a white or
colored cord decoration. Some in col

hens in black. Then there are crepe

ors with a self or contrasting border.

The rage for color has also reached
the domain of handkerchiefs in linen
and cotton. They are seen in large
quantities. Some have colored centers
with white polka dots and others have
colored cord decoration. Some in col.
q very narrow border in color. Hand
kerchiefs of Madeira embroidery are
dainty. They are embroidered in col
ors as we'll as white. Some have tiny
scallops edged in blue, pink. lavender
or green. Others have a sprig of flow

as the scalloped edge. The shops are

Skunks Kill Army Worms.

The skunk is the best known NAM
NAL enemy of army worms. The com
mon army worm, the wheat head army
worm and the fall army worm are all
very destructive to small grains, corr
and grasses, and their invasions entail
heavy losses among farmers. The good
work of skunks in destroying army
worms has frequently been noticed.
In a report of this insect in Penn
~sylvania, published in 1896, DR.. B. II
Warren brought forward much testi,
mon of farmers as to the usefulness
of skunks in the work of extermina-
ton. Also he had examined some
skunk stomachs which contained chief
ly beetles and army worms. Professor
Lugger of Minnesota also mentioned
the skunk as one Of the principal enc
mics of the army worms in that state.

ishes from any vegetables. A wire
basket is convenient to hold greens,
string beans, OF ever potatoes, while
cooking, as thus they are less likely
to adhere to the bottom of the ket-
the basket than to drain off the water.
A potato masher of strong. continu-
u wire, the two ends inserted in n
wooden handle, is inexpensive and
fully as satisfactory as a more cost
ly style.
Cooking Terms From France.
A few of the terms indicating the
use Of vegetables nay be of service
in studying books arranged by chefs:
A la-According to, or in the
style of.
Au Gratin-With Drowned crumbs,
as of bread; sometimes with cheese.
Bouquet of Herbs-A sprig each OF
several kinds, as ~marjoram, parsley,
celery leaf, savory, thyme.
Creole or West Indian-With to-
matoes, often also with peppers,
onions and mushrooms.
Jardiniere-MiXed vegetables.
Macedoine-A medley or mixture OF
vegetables. often with meat.
Maigre-Without meat, as vege'
table soup.
Printainiere-A garnish of spring
vegetables.
Puree-Material mashed through a
strainer.
RouX-Flour Drowned in butter.
Soufne-A puff; something inflated
or swollen, as by beaten white OF egg,
Suggestions for Serving.
Soups-One of the best ways to use
leftover vegetables is in soups. A
cupful of cooked cauliflower with some
and an equal amount Of milk and a
Slight thickening of butter and flour
will provide a cream of caullt1OWef
soup. If the vegetable already has
white sauce with it, reduce 1t with
milk to the right consistency, season
and strain, and the soup is ready.
A good tasting soup can be made
with an onion, the trimmings OF a
bunch of celery Inc the outside leave
Of a head of lettuce, all cut up fine
and cooked in a little water and but

with a little flour or some one of the
granular breakfast cereals which
cook quickly. season and serve. If pre-
ferred. the milk INT cereal nay be
cooked separately, added to the vege-
tables, and all boiled. up together.
A PURGE is half way between a cream
soup and mashed vegetables; it is
sometimes a thick soup, but oftener
strained vegetables made soft with
milk or stock and butter, and served
with meats, for instance, a PURGE of
split peas, dried lima beans or COW

USE OF DETACHABLE LINING
Careful Dresser Will See the Advan.
tages That Come From This
Simple Precaution.

The careful woman will find 1t ad.
visable to instruct her seamstress to
make a detachable lining of fine net
or habutai silk to wear beneath the
blouse, of georgette crepe, of radi'
um or of some one of the new striped
silks. Such a foundation should have
sleeves rather loosely shaped and
terminating just above the elbow. In
warm weather the perspiration across
the back and on the arms is apt to
stain or fade the fine material of the
outer garment.
The lining should be made separate
ly and then loosely tackled to the in
side OF the blouse about the neck and
shoulders. 1t will then be easily re-
moved for a visit to the laundry or
for other renovation. Two Innings
for a fine waist are better than one,
because this insures a greater preser.

Allowance should be made for
shrinkage when making up a new

blouse inches should be extended be-

skirt the material may be turned
back so that after it comes from the
first Tubing it may be let down with
out serious inconvenience.

Radicals and Censorship.

1t is not to Kitchener nor the British
war department that credit should be
given for the rigid press censorship,
but to a physician, Rabelais. In his
.Pantagruslian Representations he
says: Since, then, they are so ready
to ask after news, and consequently
the more glibly swallow down every
himtIam story that is told them, were
it not %expedient that some people, on
whose faith we might depend, should
hold offices Of intelligence on the
frontiers of the kingdom, and have a
competent salary allowed them, for
nothing else but examine the news
that is brought. whether it is rue or
not?"

FOR A DAINTY PILLOW
EXCELLENT DESIGN THAT NEED
NOT BE COSTLY.
Required Filling About the Only Thing
That Must Be Bought-Cuttines
From Silk Frocks viii Sup
ply the Materials.

Designs have been given for pillows
that were practical and pillows hat
were dainty, but today an example of
a luxurious pillow is given. This is
one OF the very latest models, and
while l know only the few can afford
to buy anything SO elaborate, l also
feel sure that the cover could be made
up at home at little cost.
The filling is of the softest down, so
in most cases that must be bought, but
in regard to the slip, this being a
~colored-silk year. the cuttings left over
from the new frocks will furnish suf-
hcient material.
The shape of the pillow is round and
measures 20 inches in circumference.
To make the slip requires two rounds
OF silk, each measuring eight inches.
These form the centers back and front
and are connected by three strips of
silk, not necessarily of the same color
Two strips must be Of the same width
and length and must be cut a few
inches longer than the circumference
of the rounds. One edge is gathered to
fit the rounds and is sewed down, M
to the back and the other to the front
round. The next strip must be longer
than the first two and the same width
or not. Both edges are shirred and
are sewed down to the free edges of
the strips already secured to the
rounds. This creates a kind of round
ed, slightly puffy looking cover. OF
course if one has sufficient silk of one
color three strips of a uniform width
of four inches would cut all the
strips. If scraps on hand must be
used up it might happen that the cen
ter strip must be wider or narrower
than the two they connect. This is
immaterial. All hat is necessary is to
get a strip - inches wide after the
three are joined. In putting strips of
silk Of different color together they
should contrast or harmoniZe.
Next the decoration. This
may be anything the maker pleases. A

Dainty Chemisettes.

~High-colored blouses have by no
can ousted the soft, becoming chem
isettes from favor, and these are worn
particularly with house frocks and in
formal Inner gowns opening in a deep
V at the front. The daintiest chemi.
settles are c: net, shirrcd into length
wise puffings by rows of lace entire
deux or hemstitching, and usually a
frill or flare collar of one sort or an
other gives the fashionable height at
the back of the neck. A snap fastener
or dainty brooch holds the chemisette
at the top and the V opening may be
made high or low as desired.

Wired Lace Sleeves.

The silhouette of the crinoline is re-
peated again and again in dancing Co.'S
tune. and one OF its latest phases is
the wired lace sleeve. This is a tiny
wired lace rufle, perhaps three inches
wide and very full, stiff and spreading
around the lower edge, which is gath
ered into the armholes above a tiny
puff of chiffon or tulle.

Skirt Flounces.

The two and three-flounce skirts
continue in vogue, the change in style
being noted in the fullness of the
1ounces. especially the bottom one.
which is about o yards around. And
many of the flare skirts have two or
three bands stitched on the upper
edges only. These are sewed at about
knee depth and lower. This mode is
especially pretty when the bands of
plain colors are combined with striped
material.

Club Building Being
Converted Into Theater

j. B. Sparks has purchased the
Club building from Frank Gillian,
R. F.. Hynd and s. P. Garrigues and
is having the same converted into an
up-to-date theater. The entire front
of the building is being remodeled
and when completed will present
pleasing appearance. A lobby 10x
80 feet will be feature of the new
theater. There will be two entran-
ces through swinging doors into the
main auditorium. Balconies on both
sides will be reached by wide stairs
running up from the lobby. The
stage will be "a feet wide and 20 feet
deep. The curtain which Mr.. Sparks
has ordered and which will soon be

LOAN AND SAVINGS IS NAME
Of NEW BANKING INSTITUTION
w. o. Hill, Former County Clerk Is Cashier-Loca
Men Are StockhoIderS-O Open For Business Apri
First In the Fair Building.

The Heppner Loan & Savings Bank
will open for business April 1st, 1915.
In commenting on the new bank,
Mr.. Mahoncy, Cashier OF the First
National Bank, said, "In following
out the policy of giving Heppner and
this territory the banking service
that is not oxcelled by any similar
town in Oregon, the stockholders of
the First National Bank have or
ganized an institution to be known
at the Heppner Loan & Savings Bank.
Through this Bank we hope to be
able to take care of class Of bust
ness that we could not consistently
carry in National Bank.
THE new bank is organized under
the supervision of the State Banking
Department, and will do a general
banking business. We expect to give
great deal of attention to farm
loans and real estate generally, Farm
loans will be negotiated for the ac-
counts of customers and other invest
ors as well as for the banks account
Special attention will be given to
leases, rents, commercial collections
and the purchase of bankable paper
w. O. Hill has been elected cashier
and will assume his duties April 1st
1915. He will be in direct charge
of the bank. Mr.. Hill through his
experience as county clerk and ac
quaintance with the public, is, we
feel, especially qualified for this po
sition. He has had a broad exper
ience in the matter of titles and con
veyancing, and is well fitted to pass
upon land values.
In making this further invest
ment we have demonstrated our con
fidence in Heppner and this territory
in practical way, and we hope tC
have the approval and support of the
public"
