not suspicious, 1t is glad to be ca

gent as the tiger-striped cat, but 1t is
quicker to lend itself to the ways of
kind master or mistress.
French men are even greater anna

resemble them in so many things. A
cat was suffered by Richelieu to nurse
its kittens in his cardinals hat.
Mazarin (but he was an Italian) used

Old Fort Bridge at Leavenworth.

The federal government has ordered
the removal of famous landmark of
the Missouri valley, the "Old Fort
bridge" the iron structure that
spanned the Missouri at FIT. Leaven-
worth, completed with much rejoicing
in the West almost half a century ago.
The bridge was one of the first to be
built in the valley, and the question
of its location was bitterly fought over
by the towns of that section, for a
bridge and the railway lines it brought
were strongly deciding factors in the
making of future metropolis. 1t was
the best built bridge in the West in
its day, and its span was high enough
to permit the passage of the steam
boats that then piled on the river. In
its strange career of usefulness and
neglect, it had many owners, until it
finally passed entirely into the pos
session of European capitalists. They
have lost their interest in 1t; army
engineers will dismantle this former
pride of the West, dynamite its piers
and sell the superstructure for old
iron.

ECONOMY IN THE LAUNDRY
Savings May Seem Small, but Amount
to a Lot in the Course of
Year.

Soft water for use in laundry work,
saves soap, clothing, time, energy and
money.
Buying soap by the box is more eco
nomical than buying it by the quar-
ter's worth.
Removing the soap from the box,
and piling it in such way that it
will dry, causes it to wash away less
rapidly, and therefore to last longer,
than If not dried.
Having a firm, substantial wash
bench, of a height suited to the
worker, SO constructed as to hold the
tubs securely in position, saves time
and energy.
A good stationary wringer, or one
which is so made as to be clamped
securely to the tub, is a necessity.
When through using the wringer,
loosen the screws to relieve the pres
sure on the rubber rollers; wash
clean, wipe dry and put it away
where it will keep clean until needed.
Occasionally cleaning the wringer
with kerosene, and the washing
with soapsuds, rinsing and drying,
tends to keep it in good condition.

One of the most curious stories of
this kind is that of the mysterious

SALMON WITH BOILED EGG
Delicious TrIfe for Hostess to Serve
to Guests at Formal or In
formal Luncheon.

A salmon sandwich is tempting ar
ticle of food, and should be half mixed
with chopped boiled egg and very thin
slices of olives and pickles. The wise
hostess will make two different kinds
of sandwiches, some with the mix
ture moistened with vinegar or lemon
juice, others without, for many per-
sons cannot eat acids. Practically all
meat sandwiches are extremely rich,
and strong condiments are used in the
filling, especially mustard and catchup.
While white meat makes a delicate
sandwich, darker meats mixed with
mayonnaise and other relishes are
more appetizing in every way. When
hot sandwiches are served at noon
day luncheon at home, the contents
of the sandwich should be placed be-
tween the layers of bread and fried,
or the bread toasted and covered with
a cooked meat filing, then covered
with buttered toast and served hot.

River of Tragedy

Just as nc other river has quite
the same wonder as belongs to the
Thames, so no other river is wrapped
in mystery, so surrounded with stories
of tragedy and crime, London An
swers says.
Many Of the old waterside ncuses,
which rise sheer with the river, con-
tain rooms in which the floor is built
directly over the water-hoors upon
which one could stand in apparently
perfect safety while someone IN an
3adjecent room worked a lever which
caused the floor to open and their
victim to drop into the river.
A gambling club is said to have met
in such room once a year to play
for tremendous stakes. The party
played on until one OF their members
was ruined. Then the rest OF the
men went away in silence, while the
ruireG mar went down into the dark
waters.

Grandfather Moore has always had
the hatit of violently rocking his rock
Ing chair On the porch. First Grand.
son Moore invented a rocker silencer.
SO that the old ran could rock away
to his hearts content and never get
on anybodys nerves. The elder Mr..
Moore did not seem to take as much
pleasure in rocking as formerly, but
nobody commented on the fact at the
time.
A few days ago Grandson Moore.
while Grandfather Moore was down at
the post office, attached small motor
TO the rocking chair in such way
that by connecting the wires the chair
could be set going like seasaw.
When the elder Mr.. Moore returned
and took his favorite seat the chair
began to pitch him back and forth
without an ounce of effort on his part.

he left the chair, kicked the motor

what he thought of it.

rocking myself?" he cried.

Something very new and captivat-
ing in flowers for the corsage has been
launched for the holidays. The cor
sage flower or bouquet is as often
worn on the muff as on the corsage,
by the way. This new idea is called
by several nanes-the vanity flow
er, the beauty flower, or the van
ity" ccrsage. So far roses, dahlias,
poppies and orchids have appeared
that do not differ from those we are
accustomed to see worn On the cor
sage. But, in the heart of each flower,
concealed by petals or stamens or the
shape of the flower, is hidden a little
powder box containing powder in a
small cake. A tiny powder puff is lifted
out by means of small ring, and
milady robs the heart of a flower for
the sake of vanity or beauty.
These flowers are set in millinery
foliage, and in some of the bouquets
the stems are tied with green satin
ribbon matching the foliage in shade.
One end of the ribbon is turned up in
a small fat bag which contains little
mirror.

Refreshingly plain and smart, and
embellished with several clever new
ideas in the details of it's finishing,
this tailored suit will appeal to wom-
en- who appreciate these desirable
qualities. It is to the credit of Ameri-
cans that the best tailored suits are
made in this country, and they are
typical of the thoroughbred American
woman. A suit must first be practical
to find favor with her; 1t must also
be trim in appearance, well cut and
faultlessly tailored American design
ers and manufacturers have met these
demands of the discriminating, and
the popular taste has been benefited
by their products.
Serge, gaberdine, broadcloth, whip
cord, or any of the strong well-woven
wool goods used for suits are chosen
for the tailor-made. Before they are
tailored they are to be shrunk,
sponged and pressed, SO that they will
stand stormy weather. Certain of
the cravenetted cloths, as serge or
covert, will repay little extra outlay
in money by their power to resist wet
weather.
The skirt in the suit shown is only
of moderate width, with slight flare

Change From Year to Year.
The Dolomites are not the same
from year to year. The rock of which
they are composed is not as durable
as that which enters into the compo-
sition of our Rocky mountains and the
Alps. Each year the thousands of fam
tastic modelings. are carved anew. The

ably from year to year. Scattered
throughout their area are great fields
of broken stones, and deep streams of
eroded matter slope against their
higher walls.
Titan, the great master of colors,
was born in this mountain region. His
birthplace was Campo di Soto or
Pieve di Galore. At least, he spent
his boyhood in the latter village, once
the capital of a sturdy Dolomite re-
public, the republic of Galore, which
was founded 500 years before Amer
lea was discovered and which existed
for 500 years, losing it's liberty to no
less conqueror than Napoleon, who,
at the peace of Campo Formio in
1897, rearranged this part of Europe.
The Latins and the Germans have
fought from time immemorial on the
Dolomites' cyclopean battle-ground. A
race of warriors grew up in this bor-
der land, and also, one might say, a
race of peasant aristocrats. There are
humble people here who can trace the
family parentage back unbroken
through centuries and who treasure
ancient family documents signed by
popes and emperors, doges and great
mobiles. Some of our sturdiest immi-
grants, Italian, German and Slav,
come from these mountain Businesses.
Few of them remain. however, for
their wonderful mountain homeland
calls them irresistibly after they have
made their stakes.

important little village, Cortina has
borrowed from the popularity of the
magnificent Dolomite region surround
ing 1t, and its picturesque cluster OF
houses upon the great mountain thor
oughfare that winds through it is well
known to many Americans who have
spent vacations scrambling through
the lesser mountains of the eastern
Alps.
The village shelters 1000 inhabi-
1000 feet above the level of the sea.
In summer it has regularly been
crowded with visitors, coming from all
parts of the western hemisphere, and
so, though isolated from the world
about, it has considerable cosmopoli-
tanism in its makeup. In the immedi-
ate neighborhood of Cortina some of
the finest paths in the Dolomites can
be pursued. On the northeast of the
town rises the Cristallo group; to the
east is the Ire Croci saddle and Crepe
del; and to the north are Col Rosa,
Lavinores, Seekofel and Croda DELI

Cortina is a knot in the wonderful

Italan-speaking part of Austrian Ty-
rol, not far from the Italian border.
Besides being host to many visitors,

for itself in an art which was brought
