~ NE of the reasons for the peren-
~ NAL return of taffeta to feminine
favor, for spring and summer frocks,
is its durability. 1t is manufactured
now in soft qualities that still retain
its crispness and no one need hesitate
to include tatfeta in planning a sum-
mer wardrobe. 1t is the ideal mate
rial for the present mode of the long
WaiStline and the full skirt, sponsored
by many models from the spring open
ings in Paris that show the low waist
lines, longer skirts, with a little more
fuIIness and bOuffant in outline. The
models illustrated include all these
authentic style points. The one with
the short straight skirt depends al
most entirely upon the material for
Adornment, but taffeta is in itself an
invitation to ribbons to come and be
at home with it; therefore the skirt
has trimming of self cOrding and
two rows and bows of narrow MORE
ribbon in a contrasting color. Puff
inGS Of the silk over the hips give it
the desired bouffant effect. Having

A LWAYS there are pretty new fur
"A bellows at the ribbon counter with
which to tempt a frail, feminine love
of finery. Many of these are too
small to be well represented by photo
graphs, but they coax as many dol
lars out of fair admirers as their
larger rivals, and are entitled to hon
orable mention. They include an end
less variety in lingerie bows and ros-
cites, ribbon flowers, sachets, pow
der bags, corsage flowers, garters,
sleeve bands, and other little accessOr-
les. The new feature in these famil-
lar luXuries for this season is the in
PRODUCTION of very narrow ribbon in
the making of flowers, fiowerlike ros-
cites, bows and ornaments.
Bags and sashes or girdles still oc-
cupy the places Of first importance at
the ribbon counter. Boudoir caps have
always depended upon ribbons to do
their cheerful part in their making,
and few examples of these have been
selected from late arrivals, for Illus
tration here. Two very handsome
bags, shaped to harmonic with their
mountings. show rich brocaded ribbons
in graceful developments. One of
them employs plain satin ribbon with
the brocade, and both have plain satin

INDUCED in this little frivoIity, the
frock preserves its dignity by a waist
which is plain, except for two corded
seams. A quaint, youthful touch APP
pears in the gathered ruffle at the
neck, in lieu Of a collar, and finished
at the throat with a prim bow of rib
bon.
The other frock pictured, of grey
taffeta, seeks the company of rutlles,
lace and ribbons, to send it on its
frOlicsOme way. The straight, narrow
skirt is topped by gathered over
skirt, which is edged in scallOps with
a anticipated ruffie. A similar ruff
tle, set on a little higher, gives the
effect of a double OverSkirt. The
basque waist is shirred in the under
arm seams and extends over the skirt
in two points in front. The square
neck is finished with a collar suggest
ing a bertha of filet lace or of imita-
ton filet, for the shops show such
good imitation one can use it with a
feeling of assurance. Cuffs are of
the lace.

log at the points of crossing, so the
ends will interlock. At the doorway
fill in thin piece of wood bent to ex-
tend around the opening for jambs to
butt the short logs against, and tack
through this frame into the short-log

Cover the roof with pieces of bark
and fasten branch along the peak for
a ridgepole. The bird cabin should

The rules for table tennis are al

One of the new sashes with loops
at each side and simple knot at the
back is made of heavy satin, two
toned ribbon. Little flowers of mar
row ribbons at the base of the loops are
the straws that show the direction of
the wind in ribbon sashes. Nearly all
of them are elaborated with ribbon
flowers far more lavishly than In the
example pictured.
Two new boudoir caps reveal that
there is still something new under the
sun in these flattering pieces of head

and gay ribbon substituting for a
couture. One Of them is the anus
ing stocking cap model of lace. with
three narrow ribbon frills about the
face and tassel, made of baby rib
bon, dangling from its point. The
other employs wide, soft satin rib
bon and lace to make it and has hang
ing loops and little flowers of baby
ribbon Mt each side for ornaments.

Creole Stew.-Take one pound of
lean beef or medium-sized fowl, two
cupfuls of tomatoes, one cupful of car
rots, one cupful of chopped sweet pep
pers, one-half cupful of rice, one
fourth of a cupful of chopped onion,
one teaSpOOnful of salt and one table

sOapstones or two hours with them.
With chicken and Okra instead of tine
meat and carrots, this is a favorite
southern dish.
Dried beef prepared by scalding and
draining and used as the chicken with
macaroni, makes another good hot dish
for supper or luncheon.
Apple GeIatin.-SOak two table
spoonfuls of gelatin in one-half cup
full of cold water. Cook six tart ap-
pies with half lemon rind, or use a
like amount of seasoned apple sauce.

nail short board to it for a roof. This
house may be strapped to a tree trunk.
The rustic ark in Fig. is built
upon foundation made as shown, in
Fig. 8. Round the tops of the uprights
and fasten these pieces to the base
board an inch from the ends. The roof
is made of bark. If possible, strip this
from log in one piece. If you cannot
do this, roof over the framework with
thin wood from berry be IS, then
fasten pieces of bark upon it. The
ends and the bottom should also be
covered with bark Bore the entrance
hole through one end. Screw a pair of
screweyes into the uprights to fasten
wire hangers to.
The bird temple in Fig. 9 has a
Dashboard and rOofboard each about
eight inches square Gig. 10). Connect
these with four corner posts set into
holes bored in both pieces. Set the
base holes an inch in from the corners
and the roof holes two inches in from
the corners. With the posts driven
into their holes, cut short pieces of
branches, notch their ends and pile
them up log-cabin fashion to inclose
the walls. You will notice that the
logs of each tier are shorter than
those of the tier beneath.

prepare a pair of stick posts 6 inches
long "a, Fig. 81, screw a pair of small
screweyes into each, one near each
end, and with cord bind the posts to
the clamp as shown in Fig. 4. Sew
short pieces of cord to the ends Of
the net, and tie these to the screweyes
in post A.
To make long enough court, it is
best to extend the dining-table, and
put in several extra table leaves. If
it is a circular table, this will give
you a court of about the proportions
shown in Figs. l and 2. Use cloth
tape or cotton-twine for marking off
the inner left and right-hand courts.
Twelve inches or so each side of the
net, pass piece of tape or Irvine en-
tirely around the table, as shown at B
Gig. 81, then connect these pieces at
their centers with piece c. If the
joints between the table boards come
as they do in Fig. 5, you can pass the
ends of strip G through the joints,
pull them tight, and tie underneath
the table. Strips B and c will make
the four courts marked L (left) and
r (right) in Fig. 2.

from burning. Drain from the fat,
leaving four tablespoonfuls of fat in
the pan; add one-half cupful of hot
milk and one cupful of corn; cook I'M
til soft; if cooked corn is used it will
not need as long cooking. Season with
salt, pepper and paprika and serve on
hot platter around the bacon.
Prune Puddine.-Take one cupful of
ground uncooked prunes one-half cup
full of sugar and when well mixed add
two well beaten eggs, three cupfuls of
milk, one-half teaspoonful of orange
extract and one thick slice of buttered
bread. Cut the bread in small dice and

TWO c. f. AND !. MINES.
CLOSE INDEFINITELY

Reports from the office OF Il. ii.
wcitzel. manager OF the fuel depart
ment OF the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company here Thursday evening ad-
visod OF the closing Tuesday night OF
tho company's mino at Starkvilic,
Colo, in the Trinidad district. This
mine had n daily coal output of be-
tween $50 and 300 tons, and employed
on an average OF 235 men within each
at-hour period.
How long this shutdown may con-
tinuc the office was unable to state.
Tho cause was said to be shortage OF
orders at the Minnepua plant, and the
shutdown was stated to be for an in
definite period.
The company is still working twenty
ono mines in all tributary districts.
The Englc mine, in the Trinidad
sector, closed down at the end of tho
shift on February 1. This mine had
an output of 500 tons of coal a day,
and employed 100 men. Order short
age is stated as the reason for this
move, also.
Mr. wsitzcl is at present in Trinidad
