SOME IDEAS AS TO FURNISHINGS
AND DECORATION.
Albert A. Small, president of the
Consolidated Electric Railways, says
construction of an interurban line
from Tulsa to Sapulpa will be com-
menced within thirty days.
Miss Mary Troy and H. B. McAlester
were married at McAlester at th^
home of the bride's parents, Dr. and
Mrs. E. H. Troy. Mr. McAlester is
the youngest son of Lieutenant Gov-
ernor and Mrs. J. J. McAlester.
W. R. Saunders of the Seminole
nation was in police court at Okla-
homa City on a charge of plain
and inoffensive drunkenness. He was
released when he declared it was his
first drink in twenty years.
Although his relatives did not know
exactly what was his age. it is be-
lieved that R. P. Haws, who died at
McLoud last week, was 108 years old.
It is believed he was the oldest white
man in Oklahoma.
Proper Preparations for Rest, Amid
Cheerful Surroundings, Must Be
Looked To, and Simplicity
Be an Object.
Every house takes on the personal-
ity of the dominating individuality
dwelling within it, with chameleon-
like rapidity. It is inevitable that
the household ruler expresses himself
or herself unmistakably, in endless lit>
tie ways, to be discovered on every
side. Whether illiterate or a scholar,
rich or poor, that influence is evident
everywhere throughout the house,
with the possible exception of the dif-
ferent bedrooms. One's individual
bedroom is or should be one's king-
dom, and cannot be invaded by any
influence save that of its occupant.
It should mean more than merely a
place to sleep; it is "your room," and
that expresses something very per-
sonal.
Aside from the question of person-
ality there are certain elemental
things to be done with a bedroom to
bedroom where there is a space for
it.
The growing inclination to keep the
living room and library more imper-
sonal than they were a few years ago
has made the writing desk or writidg
table almost as regularly a bedroom
article as is the dressing table. Ta-
bles are probably used more generally
than desks. They are furnished with
attractive little sets of drawers, filing
cabinets and various similar acces- j
sories, that make them good to look j
at and of practical use. Such a table
may be provided with a large table
lamp, set near one end, or with two
small table lamps of duplicate de-
signs, one being placed at either end
of the table. Of course the table
should be placed as near a window as
possible.
In a very large room the idea of us-
ing chintz and wall paper of the same
design may result most attractively.
This may even be done in a small
room if a small design on rather pale
coloring Is used. But ordinarily the
rule of plain paper and figured hang-
ings and vice versa Is the safest thing
to follow. It is a rule that one can-
not go far wrong on at least.—New
York Tribune.
After Dinner Joke.
In the great Pecos valley apple
country of New Mexico the latest ar-
rival is always asked:
"What is worse than biting into an
apple and finding a worm?"
He is stumped. They tell him,
"Finding half a worm."
His Mistake.
After the services were over, one
of the congregation turned to his wife
and said:
"On my way to church I picked up
a button and put It in my change
pocket, where I had a quarter."
"Gracious, my dear!" anticipated
his wife, very much horrified. "And
you dropped It Into the collection bss-
ket by mistake?"
"No, confound it!" replied her hus-
band, "I put in the quarter."—Judge.
Oklahoma City will on December
3, 4, 5 and 6 entertain the State
Implement Dealers' association in its
regular convention, and arrangements
are being made now by the local com-
mittees to make the visit of the deal-
ers Interesting.
More voters cast ballots south of
the Choctaw line of the Rock Island
railroad in Oklahoma than ever before
in Oklahoma's history, and to this fact
is credited the big increased vote of
the state which will reat^h nearly
270,000.
Attorney General West has formally
presented an application to the cor-
poration commission for an order re-
quiring the Pioneer Telephone Co. to
make an accounting preliminary to a
refund to Oklahoma City subscribers
of excessive charges for service ap-
proximating $60,000.

NEW FABRIC IS DELIGHTFUL
Nothing Prettier Than the Brocaded
Velvet Has Been Introduced for
Many Seasons.
Almost regal In their loveliness are
the new evening fabrics for the com-
ing winter season. And particularly
true Is this of the new brocaded vel-
vets. For splendor of coloring and
richness of designs and variety they
are unequaled.
One feature is their lightness of
weight—a whole gown Is not cumber-
some, for the velvet is chiffon wTeight
and woven of very light silk.
The newest silks have a chiffon
background, filmy and delicate, from
which the raised velvet figures stand
out In richness and beauty. The cor-
als, rose colors, soft amber shades
and greens are unusually beautiful and
are tyeing much used for the more ele-
gant toilettes.
Similarly Minded.
The village tailor only received oc-
casional orders from the vicar for
such articles as hats, collars, or hand-
kerchiefs. "You see," remarked the
vicar one day, having called with his
usual order, "when I want a suit I go
to London. They make them there."
Calling again a few days later, the
vicar remarked that he had not seen
the tailor at church lately.
"No," replied the tailor; "when I
want to hear a good sermon I go to
London; they preach them there."
SCOFFERS
Often Make the Stauncheet Converts.
The state committee of the Pro-
gressive party is called to meet at
Oklahoma City November 30, for the 1
purpose of preparng for a state cam
palgn two years from now. The call is
signed by Alva L. McDonald, chair-
man, and Orvel J. Johr^on, secre I
tary of the state committee
When cotton reached 12.5 cents a
pound at Mountain View It is believed
to be the highest in the state and the
highest for several years. The price
brought lots of the staple into the
city and farmers were pleased to got
the money. It is believed, however,
that the price will go higher before
the season is over . If the market re-
mains as It Is there will probably not
be much cotton stored In this part of
the state.
Utility Bed Table.
make It at once practical and attract
tive. A reasonable amount of hy-
giene does not interfere with either
beauty or Individuality, and should
be Introduced in every case, regard-
less of either. The furniture should
be simple and easily cleaned. The
draperies should preferably be of
washable materials and easily taken
down for an occasional airing. There
should be as few pictures on the walls
as possible.
A small night table by the bed has a
hundred constant uses, and Is an at-
tractive addition to the room. One
should always have a candle or a
night lamp conveniently at hand, as
well as drinking water. The old-fash-
ioned commode Is being used again in
the more elaborately furnished rooms,
but the night table Is adaptable to any
French Shoes Are Smart.
A critic of woman's dress wae
asked what first struck him about
French women, and his reply was the
smartness of their footgear, for they
are said to be the best shod women
in the world. Everywhere In Paris
he had noted the exquisite, shapely,
gay little shoes of the Parlslenne trip-
ping through the boulevard and ave-
nue. square and street. There Is a
good deal In this opinion, for the
French boot and shoe are Invariably
plegant even In their most utilitarian
form, and their practical purpose is
considered next to their charm.
Lingerie Ideaa.
Lingerie is Important in the world
of dress. Slips, petticoats, combina-
tions. and night dresses are made to
match the dainty wardrobe of the well
dressed woman. Matinees of Jap-
anese crepe are bought by every one.
One of smoke color with a lining of
blue chiffon is a model much favored.
The man who scoffs at an Idea or
doctrine which he does not fully un-
derstand has at least the courage to
show where be stands.
The gospel of Health has many con-
verts who formerly laughed at the
Idea that coffeo and tea, for example,
ever hurt anyone. Upon looking into
the matter seriously, often at the sug-
gestion of a friend, such persons
have found that Postum and a friend's
advice have been their salvation.
"My sister was employed in an east*
era city where she had to do calculat-
ing," writes an Okla. girl. "She suf-
fered with headache until she was al-
most unfitted for duty.
"Her landlady persuaded her to quit
coffee and use Postum and in a few
days she was entirely free from head-
ache." (Tea is just as Injurious as
coffee because it contains caffeine, the
same drug found in coffee.) "She told
her employer about it, and on trying
it, he had the same experience.
"My father and 1 have both suffered
much from nervous headache since I
can remember, but we scoffed at the
Idea advanced by my sister, that cof-
fee was the cause of our trouble.
"However, we finally quit coffee and'
began using Postum. Father has had
but one headache now In four jrears,
due to a severe cold, and I have lost
my headaches and sour stomach,
which I am now convinced came from
coffee.
"A cup of good, hot Postum is sat-
isfying to me when I do not care to
eat a meal. Circumstances caused
me to locate in a new country and 1
feared I would not be able to get my
favorite drink, Postum, but I was
relieved to find that a full supply is
kept here with a heavy demand for
it." Name given by Postum Co.,
