Memory of Blizzard

Memories of the great blizzard OF
1888 in South Dakota are still vivid in
the mind of James B. Lazear of
Omaha, Neb., who was a national
bank examiner ct that time. according
to the Kansas City Star. He had
stopped at Pukwana, S. D., on his re-
turn from examining bank in a
neighboring town and was warned by
hotel proprietor that a blizzard was
on the way. III.
"For eight days and nights, with
the mercury from 10 to 40 below zero,
l acted as fireman in my ROOM" re-
lated LaZear. "The snow was packed
solid to the second story. Toward the
last all had to eat was dried apples.
People in the town were enabled to
make visits to one another by tunnel
ing under the snow next to the side
walk. Snow was packed 40 feet deep
and so solid in some of the cuts that
trains were run by tunneling under
the snow. For 80 days trains were
run like this. After the storm drove
from Pukwana to Mitchell over the
top of the snow. The crust held the
two horses, the sleigh and its load
with ease. l made the trip of nearly
100 miles safely"

Easement windows, either single or
in groups, are picturesque and appro-
pirate in both large and small houses.
If well made they are charming and
convenient, but they must be cur
tanned so as not to interfere with
their opening.
The material of which the case
ment curtains are made is the same
as that used for any other windows
in the room, unless some special eff
feet is desired. In a hall or alcove
a easement may sometimes be treated
as an entirely separate decorative
feature. If the living room has both
easements and double sash windows
the material chosen for curtains must
be adapted to both types of window,
and to the atmosphere of the living
room, whether formal and dignifed,
or informally gay and cheerful. The
bureau of home economics suggests
that plain fabrics, such as poplin, pom
gee, habutai silk, rayon, silk and cot
ton mixtures, monks cloth, are good.
Richly patterned cretonnes suit some
living rooms if the walls are plain.

Books in 1926

In spite of the economic upheaval,
12,799 bOOks-Only 403 fewer than in
1925-were published last year in the
British Isles. According to the Pub
fishers Circular, the effect of the
general strike was to reduce the
number of books issued in May to
$50, as compared with 1902 in May,
1925. But in June a part Of the
pent-up flood was released. If the
last six months of each year are COM
pared, it will be found that 6,706
were issued in 1926, as compared
with 6,740 in 1925. This increase
suggests" says the Circular, "that,
given the economic peace that seems
probable, the year 1927 will prove to
be a bumper year."

less chance Of the curtains being in
the way of the sash. Draw curtains
can be pulled back to the extreme
edge of the window frame when the
easement is opened. If glass curtains
must be used they should be hung
from the upper casing so that they
remain inside the room when the case
ment is unfastened. Otherwise they
would soon be spoiled by rain and out
door air. Side draperies and draw
curtains should end on line with the
apron or sill.
If the easement opens in, glass cur
tains may be shirred on rods at the
top and bottom of the sash, or hung
with rings from the top of it, so that
they swing with the window. If a
valance and side draperies are used
with the opening-in easement, the
valance must clear the top of the sash
as it swings in. On the whole. draw
curtains will be found best for case
ments. They are generally arranged
in clusters of plaits on rings to be
drawn back and forth on q solid rod
by means of double cords passing over
small pulleys. The illustration shows
easement curtains of plain colored
pongee for the living room.

Evening Gowns are Classy

feathers" For the daughter of the
household who is "going away" to COL
lege or finishing school, the subject of
party frocks is a vital one. Selection
of an evening dress modelled after the
style of the one illustrated will pro-
claim the discriminating taste of its
wearer. M
If not of satin, then choose velvet
for the making of this frock, for a
"velvet season" Is surely upon us. The
new velvets are marvelously textured,
being supple and almost as sheer as
chiffon. In fact they are variously
called sheer velvet, transparent vel
vet, also georgette velvet.
Black velvet fashioned along youth
full lines is the mode Of the hour for
the debutante and her younger sister.
However, for those who are inclined
to color, the new autumn satins and
velvets are a revelation of color
beauty.
There Is a whole range of leaf
browns brought out this season which
are unusually attractive. There is a
tendency toward wine tones, too, and
many delightful shades of blue. Beige
and green are also included in the
list of favored colors.
An exception to the rule Of no trim
ming for the fashionable classic
drape silk and velvet evening frock,
is the presence Of sparkling rhine
stone buckle or ornament, placed
either at the girdle or at the hipline.

Popularity Foe to Brains

The reason that popular college
youths do not get as high marks as
the boOkworms is not, as commonly
believed, just that they do not care
to work as hard, but that they are

made at the University of Chicago.
However, brains and outstanding
leadership seemed to go together. The
notion that large-bodied men rank
higher in sociability than thin men,

Sour Cream VIII Add

If you have on hand some sour
cream, you may prefer to make
cooked dressing. A good method is as
follows: Beat an egg very light, and
add to it quarter teaspoonful of
mustard, half teaspoonful of salt,
quarter teaspoonful of paprika pepper,
half tablespoonful of sugar, quarter
cupful of vinegar, and one cupful of
sour cream. Mix well and cook in
