Gus.
White pima cloth, or fine batiste,
simply hemstitched, or embroidered,
or boasting bands of lovely lace are
always in good taste, especially for
the older, more conservative person.
China Sets
Are Delightful.
In all of the china shops one may
find an almost bewildering array
of fascinating sets for breakfast
trays. These come in some of the
finest bone china; in pottery and
earthenware, and in tinted crystal.
Many are plain, or lovely pastel
colors, and only ornamented by
tiny fruit or flower knob or handle.
There are novelty sets, in plaids
and polka dots, embellished with
pictures, or giddy with posies, hunt
ing scenes or hobby" motifs. These
are all right If you are purchasing
the set for yourself, or for some one
whom you know very well-but for
the guest room tray, or slight ac-
quaintance, the plain, formal sets
are the safer choice.
Occasionally, if you have in mind
some one whose breakfast is dis
tinctly on the small" side, you will
do better to select odd pieces of one
kind of china, thus assembling just
what is needed-instead of taking
up closet space with unused plates,
cups, cereal bowls, and so on.
Glassware Always
Interesting.
With the charming glasses en-
anemeled in oranges, grapefruit, to-
matoes, pineapples and so on, it is
easy to select tumblers for the
morning fruit juice. A nice present
would consist of a set of several
types. Thus the beverage could be
varied and still be contained in
proper glass. Water tumblerS have
rings or bands that may be matched
to the color accent in the china set
chosen.
feppeT ana SalC SnakerS, ASH trays
and so on can be bought to match
the breakfast set or maybe nov
city items, small and amusing, such
as china chicks, silver ducklings,
cherries lying on their sides, a bit
of old Sandwich glass or anything
diminutive and dainty. There is
plenty of scope for the housekeep-
er's imagination in the breakfast
tray-and any woman will feel the
better able to face a hard day if
she has broken her fast over a
charmingly appointed little table
placed across her knees in bed!
And if you possibly can, do add
just the perfect touch to the ar
rangement with fresh rosebud in
a tiny vase or a single velvety
pansy floating in a tiny bowl!

Let Husband Be Dictator Rather
Than Break Up Your Marriage

DEAR MISS DIX am married
to fine young man, but he is so
different from me that sometimes
despair. am ambitious. He is
inclined to rest on his laurels. I am
thrifty. He Is eXtravagant. I am
immaculate both in my dress and in
the appearance Of my home. He
likes to throw things around. He
loves good times. crowds. people,
vacations. am not too strong and
cannot keep up with him. I have
an uncanny ability for business and
every one agrees that my pushing
and planning has helped immeasur-
ably in his financial success, to-
gether with his own ability and
efforts, of course. We have gone far
financially in the last 10 years de-
spite the depression, yet he now tells
me not to attempt to interest my
self in his business. Why I am
writing this is because he has said
he would be happier without me;
that I repress him too much, but
I shudder to think what would hap
pen to him without me. OF course,
I realize that may lack diplomacy,
may even be little domineering
and perhaps shrewish, but unless
there is some shouting done duties
are left undone. If he wants to
leave me and the children so he can
no longer be repressed, should I
give him the chance? I feel that
he loves me as love him. 1t is
just this clash of personalities.
Please show me the way to preserve
my marriage. ANXIOUS WIFE.

Ask Lorna what she's going to wear
so that the corsage you send her will

Here's How You
Call for Lorna.
You'll arrive on time at Lorna S
house, and Lorna will be ready-or
almost ready. Of course, you won't
honk the horn for her. You'll walk
up to the door, greet the family
and ask Mr.. Lastchance how his
radishes are doing, or something else
that will please him. When Lorna
comes downstairs, you'll tell her by
word or admiring glance how mar
velous she looks. Then you'll escort
her proudly to the car, saying good
bye to her parents, and listening
attentively to any warnings about
late hours or careless driving.
When you reach the scene of the
party, you'll let Lorna out at the
door and park the car. Then you'll
return, pick her up outside the
ladies powder room and greet any
hostesses, patronesses, chaperones
committee members, or other people
in authority. No lodging around

Only word and a smile are neces-
sary, but this little act is in class

If it's program dance, you'll pro-
ceed to fill your partners program
avoiding whispered negotiations, ar
guments and snickering. Dancing a
straight program is out. Ordinarily
you'll take the first and last dances
the dance before refreshments, and
one or two others, depending on the
length of the program. And in
trading dances, try to get good part

the smooth dancers for yourself
without regard for the terpsichorean
talents of their escorts.
Conducting Yourself

AS for dancing itself, you'll re-

and it always is. You'll strive to

Eye eBeauty

Applying Makeup
At Wrong Time
Is Disastrous
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Numerous are the women who
could make their eyes more compell-

take of destroying their natural eye
beauty by using too much eye make
up and at the wrong times.
About the only eye glamour per-
mitted in the daytime is a light
touch Of lash darkening, feather
line of brow pencil and a bit of COL
orless lid sheen. OF course, for pink
tea parties" and late cocktail dates,
a woman may use an eyeshadoW

her eyes. But that is ALL Other
pencil lines and rougings should be
reserved for those nights when you
truly dress up for an important
party.
The first step in using eyeshadow
Is to select q shade which blends
with the color of your eyes. Here
are some general rules: For blue
eyes use blue iridescent eyeshadow;
hazel eyes use blue-green; brown
eyes use blue-green; black eyes use
blue-violet; green eyes use green OF
muted tone.
A prominent Fifth Avenue salon
also presents these rules in applying
the shadow:
For eyes too close together, carry
the shadow out toward the temples
omit inner corners of eyes.
To make the eyes seem longer and
more languorous, concentrate your
eyeshadow near the lashes, blending
very lightly over the rest of the eye
lid. Taper of to thin edge before
reaching the eyebrows Blend out
beyond the corners of the eyes to
give the eyes length.
For eyes too far apart, blend eye
shadow from the inner corner near
nose, carrying 1t only part way
across the lid.
For deep-set eyes, put eyeshadow
quite high near eyebroWs-soft color
such as violet applied near the
brows.

Fourth District Faces Big
Cut in Maintenance Work

cost.
The budget for this year allocated
$4,000 to the maintenance fund,
whereas last year there was $4,000 in
this fund, he stated, further cutting
maintenance activities in the district
over last year. The budget for 1899,
however, was made and approved be-
fore he became a board member, he
pointed out.
At the present time the Fourth dis
trict IS spending money that should be
used during the latter part of June in
maintenance work. At one time the
district was two months behind on
expenditures, but through careful
handling of funds, gained one month.
Curtailing of activities should make
the district even with the board by
this fall, Commissioners Pete states.
The condition of the Fourth dis
trict, however, is not as serious as in
several of the others, according to in
formation coming from the Office of
County Auditor Walter III. Bergen.
Two of them have been forced to spend
money that should have lasted until
August while two more are now using
July funds. Two are into their June
appropriation, while only one, the
Sixth district of Commissioner Joseph
Kraker, Virginia, was even up on May
/.
The years budget for maintenance
four months expenditure, and approx
mate date to which expended money
should have lasted under normal con-
ditions, are shown in the following
chart:

Cost of Snow Removal Drains
Half of Budget Funds
for Road Upkeep.

With nearly half of the mainten-
ance fund already gone, maintenance
work for the rest of the year will have
to be drastically curtailed within the
Fourth district in order to keep within
the budget, Commissioner Jacob l..
Pete has informed the Miner.
The cost of snow removal, over
ST. 600, was cited as the reason for the
unusually large drain on the mainten-
ance portion of the budget, Commits
Sioner Pete states. On the average
snow removal costs amount to about
$4,000, he said, but this year severe
storms late in the winter shot the
figure to nearly double this amount
Equipment broken in battling the
mountainous drifts also added to the
