JOSLYN A HEAVY INVESTOR
Million Dollars or More Put Into
Real Estate Around Corner Of
Sixteenth and Farnam.
SPECULATION AS TO BUILDINGS

The sale OF the Schlitz hotel corner
Sixteenth and Harvey streets, during tho
week to George A. Joslyn for 500. 900.
coming as Il did within two months OF
the last transfer OF the same property.
Is said TO be another evidence Of the al
most feverish activity that is being mani
tested In the downtown property in
Omaha. Also It is asserted that II has
shown investors that $6OoH0O was by no
means too much money for the corner
when the First National bank bought 1t
two months ago. since It Immediately had
the offer of an equal amount of money If
it cared TO turn the property, and that
offer has now been made good in the
closing deal with Mr.. Joslyn.
Another thing significant about the
sale Of this corner is that II makes Mr.
Joslyns investments in real estate in that
block in the last thirty or forty days run
we'll over 100000. 1t was scarcely that
long ago that he bought the Patterson
block in the same square, but at the
corner OF Seventeenth and Farnam
streets. for $4,000 Now he paid $500, 900
for the schlltz corner which makes a
total of S1,O40OOO he has invested in the
heart Of the city in month, practically.
JOslyn liz Not Talking.
Mr.. Joslyn will not say that he con-
templates any Improvement of either
corner at once However, 1t is under
stood that he would consider the con-
struction of some large buildings to suit
tenants il the right proposition came for
ward
While the sale Of the Schlitz corner TO
Mr.. Josyn means that the First National
bank which bought it a few months ago,
will not occupy that corner, but rather
will likely take space in the new Board
of Trade building at Sixteenth and Far
nam streets, nothing definite is given out
as to what is to be done with the Schlitz
corner.
There is still some talk Of the erection
of an insurance exchange building on that
corner that would be occupied by most
Of the large insurance companies of the
city. AZ the same time insurance men
are not especially enthusiastic about 1t,
as many of them are so well located
where they are in the best office build
ings in the city, and would hesitate to
move.
Another story is that one OF the banks
now pretty well down Farnam street
would consider taking quarters in q new
building on the Schlitz corner. While
officials of the bank say there Is little
truth to the story still the tendency Of
banks is rapidly to climb the Farnam
street hill and get as near Sixteenth as
possible.

OF Different DESIGN
FRENCH AND AMERICAN TAI
LORED SUITS VARY WIDELY.
Women Here Have Accepted Models
Popular IN France for Two Sea-
sons-Widtt Of the Skirt May
Be Moderated.

Everywhere among the best OF the
American tailored suits is shown the
tendency to elongate the sides of the
coat and place the fullness there.
There is no material In the front, and
in the back the circular part Is
smoothed out SO that the line is grace
full and not bunglesome. The French
coats. on the contrary, carry the full
peplum around the figure on a straight
line, and the only irregular line is
placed at the hem of the skirt The
latter idea was started by the house of
Premet among the first short wide
skirts shown, and it was greeted with
approval by the designers, but not by
the public over here; women thought
it savored of ragged robin effect.
Today it is generally accepted, a
year after it's inauguration, which is
the fate of most fashions, really. Rare
ly does a marked departure from the
prevailing thing have more than
lukewarm attention until two seasons
have passed. Over here we talk and
accentuate the wide Russian skirt as
novelty, whereas every house in
Paris showed it last August, and two
seasons have come since then. In
France, there is already talk of modi-
flying its width. When we do it here
suits will be far better to look at.
Women who brought home full
skirts from Paris year ago, and who
were persuaded to have them mar
rowed, are now wondering why they
listened to the advice of those who
did not look into the future and who
were convinced that the narrow skirt

The newest patchwork has a won

You take, say, for a childs cover

A brown basket design filled with

patchwork are endless. How glad
one is that fresh turn has been
given to the dear old handicraft.

panel conveys to the layman most

Atlantic placing the marriage ring
upon the finger of Pacific while Amer
lea sits enthroned above. Commerce

SUGAR Industry Thriving.

Sugar Industry Thriving.
Madison.-A report has been sub
mitted to the state board of agricul'
ture, showing that sugar beets worth
S370,943.60 were grown by farmers In
20 counties in Wisconsin. The report

| factory operated ip Wisconsin last
year, this being located at Menomonee
Falls. The factories at GAINESVILLE,
Madison and Chippewa Falls were
closed.
The marked increase in acreage this
year is explained by the report as be-
ing due to the European war cutting
off the foreign supply and the two fac
tories at Madison and Chippewa Falls

DOING UP THE DAINTY FRoCK
Work May Be Successfully Done at
Home If One Is Willing to Take
a Little Trouble.

Now the art of the "BlanchisseuseI
de f1n," as the French call their very
cleverest washerwomen, is not a SCI
cret process at all, but it well within
the comprehension of anybody who is
willing to take little trouble, so why
not save a considerable sum of money
by doing up" the best frocks at
home?
The secret lies in first carefully
washing delicate frock in the ordi-
nary manner and then rinsing it
through water in which little gum
arabic has been dissolved in proper
ton of a piece about half the size OF
a nutmeg to a gallon and half of
water. If you come across any spots
and you do not know what caused
them, dip an old, clean toothbrush or
nailbrush in kerosene and scrub the
spot lightly with this, and nine times
out of ten the kerosene will remove
the spot without further effort, and
the odor always evaporates when the
dress is washed.
To keep delicately tinted wash
dresses from fading, little care must
be used They should never be hung
in the sun, but must be dried in the
shade or in the house. You can keep
green cottons or linens from fading by
adding half cupful of vinegar to 21a
gallons of water and dipping the frock
in this and letting it drip dry in the
shade Half cupful of salt used in
the same way will fix the color of pale
blue dresses or washable mourning
