When the war first started in Eu-
rope it was freely predicted that the
picture shows would have to close up,
because all the carbons that were
used to make the lights were import
ed from Germany, and the supply
would soon give out. The Palace
has used it's last shipment from Ger

know we had a birthday until the

Ten or twelve miles south of Stems

is a steady producer of silver-lead
ore.
The Oaks Company is arranging for
another shipment of ore obtained
from development work on the Clifton
mine, part of the Mother Lode group
at Mogollon.
The Pacific aerial tramway of the
Socorro mill has been placed in regu-

The new shaft on Johnson mine,
Mogollon district, is down about 270
feet, with sinking still in progress.
Most of this work has yielded mill
ore which is awaiting burros for pack
ing to custom mill.
The Cleveland mining camp, north
of Silver City, is assuming extensive
proportions. An additional mill is
nearing completion which will use the
flotation process for handling ores,
while a new unit is being added to
the large power plant.

Weekend Travelling Bag.

A new bag for a lady's toilet arti-
cles, when she goes travelling, is very
clever. 1t is a made-at-home affair Of
heavy silk, plain or figured, lined with
silk or cloth in contrasting color. 1t
is circular and draws upon silk cord.
Upon opening it, all the toilet requiS-
ties are discovered very tidily and coz
lily arranged. This particular bag may
be made in miniature, with complete
fittings, like an amplified vanity bag,
and it is treasure for the overnight
visit.
A round powder box, enclosed in
small bag, is attached to the center of
the circular piece of silk. This small
bag closes with a silk cord and pro-
vides support for several cOmpart-
ments that are ranged about it. These
compartments contain all those things
which are necessary to milady's toilet,
including a small hairbrush and comb,
hand mirror, toothbrush and paste in
a glass holder, toilet powder, clothes
brush, scissors, and needlecase.
The arrangement is so complete and
compact that there is still room for
soft nightdress of batiste or silk, ex-
ira handkerchiefs, etc. The smaller
bags will not carry these, but are mar
vels in space arrangement. All the fit
tings are little, but everything that is
really needed finds place. Even
when brought down to the ''irreducible
minimum there are quite a number
of things that the weekend or over
night visitor can't do without.
The weekend bag can be made of
other fabrics than silk. CretOnne and

The One-Piece Gown for Afternoon.

If you are looking about for pretty
model for an afternoon gown it almost
goes without saying that you want
smart one-piece straight-hanging frock.
There are many materials that provide
a choice for making it, but satin or
chiffon velvet, or both combined, lie up
permost in the mind, if the dress is to
be elegant rather than practical.
The one-piece dress offers the de-
signer the best of opportunities for
making effective combinations of ma
terials. Serge and satin, and other
cloths with satin or velvet, crepe with
velvet, or fur and cloths with fur-fab-
RIGS, are few that have been made so
successfully that they pave the way to
many more.
A lovely combination Of satin and
chiffon velvet is shown in the picture.
In this the chiffon velvet is cut in
redingote style over satin that has the
effect of an underdress. A panel of
satin, from collar to hem, is defined
on the edges, with small velvet-covered

of the year, says the Washington Star.
Then came the war, cruel, de-
vastating and ever-spreading. With
Wizardlike swiftness Switzerland
modified her army and ever since
the ancient Helvetian republic has
been described as "an island of peace
in a sea of war;"
To those who know her, Switzerland
in summer represents a master study
in artistic color combinations; Switz-
erland in winter, however, is totally
different vision, radiant in dazzling,
spOtless white. Jack Frost has i'm
printed a silencing kiss upon the bab-
bling lips of every tiny brook and
mountain stream, and glistening
sheets of the smoothest ice cover also
the limipid blue eyes of ponds and
Alpine lakes. While mother earth is
thus wrapped in a wonderful mantle
of ice and snow, the sky above has
assumed the matchless hue of a pre-
cious sapphire, and the always deli
ciOuS mountain air seems to have ac-
quired some additional qualities which
rejuvenate and strengthen the whole
human system and which instill into
every being, young or old, an inexpli-
cable feeling of light-hearted happi-
ness. Very shortly. one finds every
body interested and engaged in some
form of winter sport.
There is skating, of course. but
many games compete now with this
oldest of sports on the ice, which has,
however, been developed into an art
which charms the Onlooker by the
gracefulness of it's movements, and
again astonishes by the cool daring of
it's swift rushes.
AS in summer over the lawn, so flies
the tennis ball over the ice in the
game of hockey. Curriers' are frantical-
ly sweeping their 'stanes" toward the
coveted goal, and the unlimited di-
versity Of gymkhana stunts offers con-
stant amusement for the players as
we'll as for the OnloOkers.

Furthermore desirous of giving more
religious Importance to two important
Roman festivals which also fell due in
the same period. With the observation
of Christmas day the Christkindli, de-
scribed "as lovely angel with WINGS"
gradually started to take old Santa'S
place in many sections of Switzerland.
Christkindli, the Christ Child is said
to come from the far North and always
brings q wonderful Christmas tree,
decorated with all the glittering things
associated with fairyland and heavily
laden with manifold gifts.
A pretty legend about the origin or
the Christmas tree tells us that in the
beginning of the ninth century GER
| tain st. Winfried went to preach
Christianity to the people in Scandi-
navia and northern Germany. One
Christmas eve these people were gath
cred round a huge oak to offer hu-
man sacrifice, according to the Druid
priests, but st. Winfried hewed down
the great tree, and as it fell there ap-
peared in it's place a tall young mr..
| When st. Winfried saw it he cried to
the people that here was come new
tree, unstained by blood, which, in
pointing to the sky, showed them what
they were to worship.
"It is the Christ Child" he said.
"Carry it to the castle of your ch1ef,
and in future instead of the bloody
| rites of the Druids, your worship shall
| be in your own homes, with cere-
monies that speak the message OF
peace and good will to all. A day
will come when there shall not be a
house in the North wherein on the
birthday of Christ the whole family
shall not gather together round the
fir tree in memory of this day and to
the glory of the only God"
In many parts of Switzerland the
peasants are still fervent believers In
mystic powers and supernatural occur
rences which ancient traditions have
reported to be prevalent during Christ
mastime.
And when the happy Christmas days
are over, there comes New Years eve,
with it's jolly social and family gather
ings and it's marvelously effective ring
ing-in of the New Year, when all the
church bells throughout the land are
lifting up their voices for half an
hour.
While Christmas of 1916 will hardly
be a general day Of rejoicing in many
a great country in Europe, Switzer-
land is preparing to celebrate it in her
usual way. There will be less laugh
ter in the valleys and fewer brilliant
festivities in the fashionable winter
| resorts above the clouds. Brotherly
love and sympathy for her bleeding
neighbOrs could not will it otherwise,
but Switzerland is grateful to the
fate which has so far, in spite Of
everything, been kind to her, and with
gratitude and love she will think and
take care of her soldiers watching at
the 'front.' and she will open wide her
already generous heart to the many
refugees whom she is sheltering and
to the destitute, homeless wanderers
passing through the country, to make
them feel that Christmas is after all
the most wonderful day Of the year.

ly crowded team bend themselves, so
guiding the sleigh to the right or left;
they apply a brake by letting them
selves drop on the snow, or drive to
greater swiftness by bending forward
like jockeys. Strong iron spikes which
are driven by lever into the ice en-
able the leader to stop the vehicle al
most instantly, but a sudden applica-
tion of these brakes whirls up the ice
and snow in clouds.
Skiing has taken root to an extraOr-
binary extent in Switzerland; even the
poorest youth does not want to do
without skis, though they might con-
sist of only couple of crudely adjust
ed barrel slaves. Thanks to the ski,
the boys and girls living on remotely
situated farms are now able to attend
school every day; their parents are no
longer isolated for the best part of the
long winter months, and, thanks also
to the wooden wings of Norway" the
mail and newspapers can be delivered
regularly.
Sport is furthermore made easier by
the different mountain railways, which
in winter run tObOggan trains. Thus
one can travel a couple of stations up
ward and arrive at a starting point on
a mountain road without exertion
and without waste of time. Then one
descends to the valley on toboggan,
ski or skates, or vice versa, goes
down first and returns by train to
winter quarters.
Races, competitions, ski excursions,
sleigh drives, ice carnivals and an
equal variety of fascinating indoor en-
tertainments transplant the happy
winter visitor into a totally different
world where sorrow and care seem to
be banished and where every human
being seems to realize that the best
life after all is found right next to
natures heart.
But Christmas in Switzerland does
not only indicate the time when winter
sports are beginning to be at their
best; it signifies for the natives a Pc
riod full of sacred mystery and the
anniversary Of many a day particular
ly specified in ancient legends.
In many parts of the country the
Yuletide customs and festivities still
have their beginning on December 6,
which is the anniversary of st. Mich
Olas Markets and fairs are then held
in villages and cities, and seeing that
the old traditions prescribe for this
day the purchasing of presents for the
children, it is an event of utmost i'm
pOrtance to all youngsters. In some
districts st. Nicholas parades around
in person, in an attire very similar to
that of our American Santa Claus, gen
orally carrying bag filled with ap-
pies. prunes, nuts and homemade
cookies which he distributes among
the children who have been obedient
during the year.
The next and in modern days the
most important festive day of the
Whole Yule season is Christmas. His
tory relates that it was only in the
year 354 that the Roman Bishop IL
berius designated December 25 as the
birthday of Christ, as the Romans re-
garded this particular day as, the

belt terminates at each side of the
front panel, where it is fastened to
the dress with a large velvet button.
A small plated cape of velvet, fin
ished with narrow banding of fur,
falls to the shoulders. This is a feature
which marks this dress a design for
the slender figure. The straight satin
sleeves have deep cuffs of tucked chif-
fon, which come far down over the
hands, and the high satin collar is
edged with the same material. This
model is better for the very slender
figure than those that have no defini-
ton of the waistline.
