This very modest little turban Is converted Into a dashing and coquet tish creation by the clever adjustment of the two wings on the right. The brim is of white satin piped with blue, and rolls back snugly against the crown of black satin. The en tire hat has a jaunty tilt to the right side and two white wings are daring ly placed on the right of the crown. For those contemplating southern so journs this is a good model to fol low, copying the design exactly in all save the brim which may be made of white straw. VALUE OF OLD LACE.

Trading Stamps COUPOW I ; MINIMUM WAGE BILL IS UP TO GOVERNOR Salem, Ore., Feb. 13. It took the house just 12 minutes to pass the Ma larkey minimum wage bill, which now becomes a law unless vetoed by the governor. Only four votes were cast against the measure on Its final passage. The dissenters were He'.tzel, Hill, Johnson and Massey, and Massey later chang ed his vote to aye. Stated briefly, the Malarkey mini mum wage bill provides for a com mission of three to oe appointed by the governor, consisting of one em ployer, one employe and a third unbi ased person. On the commission is conferred power to fiv a reasonable minimum wage for women and child workers, hours of employment and conditions of labor. The law carries an appropriation of $3500 a year. The law applies only to women and children. A feature of the law is that it requires a conference between employer and employe when com plaints are made. Five Years to Make Use of Vatr. H.

How Grants Pass has gone ahead and taken Into its own hands the building of a railroad from there to the sea coast because private capital would not take up the enterprise, was told the house by Blanchard of Jo m hlne in an appeal for the passage of H. B. 304. conferring on municipal corporations the right to build, oper ate and control public utilities. He explained that the first issue of bonds for the proposed railroad will be put on sale and that the purpose of this bill Is to give these bonds a clear le gal status and increase their chances for sale. spring, according to an official an nouncement from Ottawa. The duch ess, who Is recovering from a severe attack of peritonitis, is coming to England for further medical advice, and the duke and Princess Patricia will come with her. In Canadian of ficial circles the announcement is ta ken as an indication that the gover nor general will not return. William Lygon, seventh Earl Beau champ, who is spoken of as the Duke of Connaught'a successor, was born February 20, 1872, and succeeded his father in 1891. He married in 1902 Lady Lettice Grosvenor and sister of the second Duke of Westminister. He has two sons and four daughters. He was mayor of Worcester in 1895 and governor of New Touth Wales from 1899 to 1900. He was lord steward of the household to King Edward. USE GOLD FOR MEDICINE. DUKE MAY LEAVE CANADA. (V.rmauchfs Taking III Duohew to England Relieved to Mean New Gowrnor General. London. Rumor has It that Earl Eeauchamp, one of the few Liberal peers, will succeed the Duke of Con naught as governor general of Can ada. Both the Duke and Duchess of Con naught will return to England this Thin Leaves Taken by People of In- dia Hugo Sam i Burled Annually London. There Is burifd in India every year a sum of gold to the am ount taken yearly from the mines of South Africa. The African miners extract this treasure from the grip of the earth to put it in circulation; the natives of India seize it fith avid ity, hoard it and hide it, save it anJ lay it away. They guard It for the future and effectively remove it from circulation. Thus is the work of the South African miner largely nullified. These facts are derived from sta tistics Issued lately by a firm of In dian bankers, and the amount of wealth in gold. Jewels and precious stones stored away and buried in In dia today Is practically Incalculable. Gold Is put also to some queer uses in India. In some parts of the coun. try thin gold leaves are taken by the people for medicinal purposes, and thousands of dollars' worth is con sumed In regilding the domes of re ligious buildings. A brisk demand having recently been noticed for sov ereigns with a shield on the obverse side, an inquiry was made, and it was found that a certain rajah had im ported them to form a center to each tiny pane In the windows of his palace. suspension of the rules last week Then letters and telegrams of protest by the score began to pour in. The Protestants declared the Owen bill was Intended to put the allopathic school of medicine in control. Assert ing that'the resolution had been "railroaded" through the house and that they didn't know what it was when they passed it, the members hr.tened to reconsider it ami on Mmday voted unanimously to post pone it indefinitely. In the meantime, Secretary of State Olcott had notified congress that the i( dcement had been adoptel. He refmed to send another telegram withe ut authority. The reso utit.n, in troduced by Abbott of Multnomah, di rected him to act at once. KING A BANJO ENTHUSIAST. London. The present court is not a musical one. Queen Mary has little love for music, and neither has Princess Mary; while the king has boldly confessed that his favorite mu sical instrument is the banjo an in strument that Prince Albert plays Just a little, and on which the king and his sisters used to perform quite a lot in days gone by. One or two of the princes have tak en lessons on the violin, but the re suit has not been great. There is a kind of reaction against the tyranny of music that existed in the latter days of Queen Victoria and during the brief period in which Queen Alexandra was supreme. Queen Victoria herself was not really mu slcal, in the sense that enthusiasts use the word. Queen Alexandra's devotion to mu sic Is well known, and she Is always ready to hear prodigies, and to give struggling musicians a hearing. Sev eral talented performers have owed their first engagements to Queen Al exandra's recommendations. INDORSEMENT OF OWEN BILL WITHDRAWN TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tablet. Druggist refund money if It falls U cure. B. W. GROVE'S !--Sttwre to m . m. Salern, Or., Feb. 13. The house added emphasis to Its disapproval of the effort to put the Oregon legisla ture on record and as indorsing the Owen bill to create a national de partment of public health when It adopted by unanimous vote a resolu tion directing the secretary of state to telegraph congress that the reso lutlon of indorsement had been voted down. This indorsement has had a stormy career In the house, after passing the senate. It wm voted through under CHEAP 'BRONZE" VASE IS FOUND TO BE GOLD Lbndon. Purchased in an auction room as bronze, a vase is reported to have proved to be composed of gold and silver. The purchaser was a resident of Bala, Merionethshire, North Wales. He gave a few pounds for the vase, which examination has established had been bronzed over, probably, it ) suggested, many years ago. In order to hide Its real value. Made of gold and silver, the vase Is believed to be of great antiquity and to possess a romantic history, Photographs and descriptions of it have been examined by the Liverpool museum authorities, who are of the opinion that the vase may turn out to be worth thousands of pounds. Thot ornamentation la of Grecian design, and the wormaaship French. Valuable pieces of old lace are more than many people think. Even bridal veils "250 years in the family" have histories that all the world does t know. A woman who had Inher ited from ancestors on the other side sump very beautiful lace, and who was a connolseur, was surprised at the very b 'utiful bridal veils she saw from tirre to time In the rooms of her dressmaker. "I had no Idea," she said to the latter, "that there were so many peo pie who had cuch exquisite lace. The veils are magni'icent and worth any amount of money." There are stores In the poorer sec tions of the city In which appear the radiant figures of brides in full re galia, many of them accompanied by bridegrooms also clad in the somberly festive garments in which a man be comes a benedict. Brides' or bride grooms' clothes can be hired for very small sums so much for the wedding ceremony. It Is a comfort able and economical method of pro cedure. "Those beautiful lace veils do not belong to the brides who wear them," the dressmaker, in a moment of con fidence, confided to her customer. "I hire them at a lace store for $10 for the evening, and the '250 years in one family' goes with them." But it is not everywhere that a fine lace veil could be found at short notice. The best department stores do not keep on hand quantities of the finest old lace. The demand is ne cessarily small and the laces too val uable to have much money tied up in them. They are also .perishable, subject to wear and theft. A woman who keeps about as many fine laces as there are to be found In one store knows to her sorrow that there are lace thieves. A handsome ly dressed woman who drove up to her store In an automobile saw some of the finest and most expensive laces one day. She wished the best and looked at several pieces. While these were on the counter she saw a pret ty, less expensive piece in a case, which she asked to see. "I know it is not as good a lace," she said, "but the design is pretty. However, I think I will wait before taking any, and you may have some thing els in." Then she entered hen automobile and drove away, but she had taken with her the finest piece of lace, worth hundreds of dollars. She had slipped It Into her muff when the proprietor of the shop had stooped for the less expensive piece. Then she had driven away, and there was no trace of her or of the lace. silk crepes In white, sprinkled over with pink cherry blossoms and In blue or rose printed with graceful sprays of white wistaria. To wear the kimono there should be a cling ing loose slip of satin In a solid tone matching either the grounding or the figuring of the robe. Many women, however, prefer to wear the ordinary princess garment of Seco silk trim med with lace ruffles or the one in white lingerie carrying muslin em broidery Van Dyck point Insertions, and edgings of Valenciennes lace. Fikt Tea Cake Covers. Of the same dimensions as the old- fashioned glass layer cake covers, are very dainty shields for afternoon tea of a half dozen squares of embroid ered edges and Joined to form a six' sided upright section which is top ped by a flat six-sided piece of em broidered filet. The contrivance per fectly protects the contents of ( sandwich plate from germs and fur nace dust without concealing the "goodies." Hasty Note Stationery. When you don't want to say much nor yet to seem abrupt in replying to a note, the correspondence card la your friend. You may have it In cream or pure white daintily initialed with gold or with the address engrav ed across the top or in a pale color with the monogram done In a dark er shade, both styles, of course, fit ting into envelopes of a match hue, Quite as little writing goes upon th hasty line sheet which, when once folded, forms an envelope and carries as well as any letter. These sheets sheets come in tablets and if needed for a prize or for favors, may be had encased in black leather lined with brlght-hued moire overlying sachet wadding. Novel Place Cards. Something new in place cards Is always of Interest to those who fre quently entertain. A quaint design seen recently was a card about one Inch wide and three Inches long. At the top was a picture of a pretty girl whose hat, when tilted back, showed the guest's name beneath. Another card showed a small messenger boy carrying a small grip. When the grip was lifted the name was found beneath. A lady with a little fan would be another clever Idea, or pan sies with attached leaves. For a stag dinner the cards could be made with each one to represent the guest's oc cupation. Cards for the banker, tail or, editor, merchant, etc., could be made at home with white cards and cartridge paper, and If one can sketch the pictures may be made very at tractive. A tiny silk bag in which are tucked a few sprays of artificial flowers, such as lilies of the valley, or small rose buds, and a small name card, Is a de- black oyrii GOWN. Today's drawing shows a (owi which la an excellent model to be followed by the ederly matron. Dull black cloth was made up Into this dignified gown. The bodice Is almost completely hidden beneath a wide fichu of black luce with an Inner band of gilt lace following the fichu lines and giving a touch of brightness to the otherwise sombre gown. The neck below the chemisette of all-over black net Is outlined by a fold of blue satin. The sleeves are finished at the hand by a band of the gilt lace and a frill of black moussellne. The skirt Is only slightly draped on the left near the bottom. Into the plain Jpnt portion which laps over it and is held by two black cloth-covered buttons.

A German scientist who has been conducting a series of experiments for the purpose of determining the rela tive values of hard and soft water for cooking purposes ha discovered that the water Is very often to blame when the tea, coffee or soup doesn't taste Just right For Instance, if cocoa is made of soft water a pleasant and rich drink is obtained, which, after a short boil ing, deposits the cocoa powder. Even If the cocoa is made into a past with a little water, and the cup then filled with hot water, the larger part of the powder will precipitate and the beverage will still be rich and pleas ant. If, however, hard water is used, flakes will at once appear and the oil In the cocoa will be seen floating on the surface of the drink. The flakes will soon ssttle and the bever age Is far less tp.sty than the me ob tained with soft water. Similar observations may be notic ed In the preparation of soups or oat meal, which remain flaky even after long boiling. In the preparation of tea the hard water causes the forma tion of a thin film. SYNOPSIS OF TUB ANNUAL STATEMENT OP THE BANKERS PRESERVE LIFE COMPANY OF OMAHA IN THE STATE OF NEBRASKA.
