THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE LttA L. BAKE, Publlshor. TERMS, $1 25 IN ADVANCE! NOJITH PLATTE, NEDRA3KA HAPPINESS OF NATURE. soma or us nave uvea bo ions i!"j tne narrow anu preuy circica oi sen interest, and havo moved i along a course of life bo shut away from Na ture's cecreU and her suggestions, that we havo lost all powor to bo stirred by tho pictures and sounds 'of her rebuilding. If tho processes abroad In tho world at this season of tho year do not movo us to high sym pathy and profound hope we are In a pretty bad way. A Journey Into tho countryside and over tho hills, eveu at this early period In nature's re juvenation of tho earth, Is a panacea for tho restlessness and tho cynicism that our constant attention' to the Imperfections of common humanity entails. There Is no bitterness, no malice, no Jealousy, no vile suspicion and tainted friendship In tho work shop of tho earth during tho busy, preparatory springtime. Kvery living thing Is bent on making tho most o( ho opportunity that Nature calls II to. Long ago Ilttlo tufts of grass, hidden away In tho sheltered places, began to shod their coats of dead brown and to put on tho dollcatu green garb of spring. Tho past week of warm sunshine has started a veri table whirlwind of housccleaning out in thu woods nnd over tho pasturu Jields, says tho Pittsburgh Gazette Times. The fanner and the country folk are tho royal guests of tho earth these days. They have ub city folks at a serious disadvantage. Wo cam only make Ilttlo temporary runs out into tho edgo of Nature's busy work shop, but tho farmer folk can claim nil tho sweetest secrets of tho earth's rebuilding. Tho Imposition of British standards on tho United States Is strikingly ex emplified by tho final enactment at JIarrlBburg forbidding cither tho trap ping or shooting of foxes. In Groat Britain, whoro fox-hunting is an insti tution, much us baseball Is hero, ex cept that It Is within tho reach of none but tho wealthy, public opinion con- dcinna the shooting of foxes us an of fense against sport, Bays tho Pittsburgh Dispatch. Hut tho preservation of fox es for tho hunts to run nftor is sup ported In equity by tho hunting organ izations paying tho farmora tho depre dations of 'Reynard on their poultry yards. Wo hear of no provisions In thlH net now enforced In Pennsylvania. Simply because English sporting opin io condemns tho vulplcldo, tho legis lature of Pennsylvania enacts a law forbidding tho poultry ralBors of Penn sylvania from protecting tho means by which they llvo. Certainly It would be well to uso common souse and Dem ocratic principles In tho legislation of this state. Motor trucks aro said to bo displac ing tho army mulo. Thoy may con tinue 'to do so If tho enemy kindly confines his operations to smooth, bard roads. Rut when a pestiferous antagonist carries tho scene of war into mountalnouB country, and roads alternating from hillside to mud hole, tho army mulo will bo found to bo one of thoflo things thnt no well-supplied army can do without. Another girl who married a man to "rotorm" him has reason to regret her act. Prospective grooms should reform thoroughly before marriage, ns it takes u long time to acqulro tho habit. "Tho largest log ovor landed In northern California" camo Into Chlco tho other day. It .was clear HUgnr plno nnd It was more than six feet through at tho top and eight feet at tho butt. With two other logB from tho same treo it totaled 10,812 foot of lumber. It sold for oomcthlng ovor V300. Ono docs not huve to bo n fa natical conservationist to deem this sum absolutely Inadequate to repay tho world for tho loos It suffered in the cutting of so splendid a plno.. Money can never bo an oqulvulent for beauty and romance, anyway. Ono often hcarB this ndvico to tho fat man, "Work harder, oven to per forming violent manual labor and your fat will melt away." to come to tho aid of tho However, fat man, we would say that tho suggested plan 1b not ut all feaslblo for tho very rea son that tho more strenuously a fat man works, tho moro his appetite growo and in tho nppcaBlug thereof, his fatty sections maintain absoluto equilibrium.

SMART COSTUMES T IIK costumo nt tho loft would bo smart occasion. Tho skirt Is of ecru-colored lawn, embroidered at the edgo of ovcrsklrt, with two flounces of embroidery coming from under neath; a fold of silk tho same color la laid under foot of lower flounce. Tho Ilttlo coat 1b of black aatln, with a largo collar, edged In front with a fold which is continued round lower edgo of coat; buttons trim tho sleeves. Hat of black satin, trimmed with wings. Materials required: 2 yards wldo lawn flouncing for Bklrt, 36 yards narrowor for tho two other flounces, 2V6 yards satin 40 inches wldo for coat, 2 yards for lining. Ooldon brown Shantung is solccted for tho other suit. Tho skirt is made with a wldo right front, which slopeB to side of left, whero it is cut in scal lops, a button and loop being sown in each. Tho coat has a little basque;' a ribbon swathed round the waist hides tho Joining of basquo to bodico part; ninon frills trim tho front and sleeves; black satin la used for tho collar. Hat of goldon brown Tagel, trimmed with a feather. Materials required: 6 yards Shantung Si inches wide, 5 buttons, yard satin, C yardu silk or satin for lining coat CRUSH GIRDLES MATCH SUIT New Adornment, Has Many Advantages Over the Ordinary Belt, Which It Supplants. Crush girdles fully eight Inches broad, showing botween tho open fronts of tailored jackots, aro of satin matching tho Bhado of tho suit, em broidered with IIohb or Boutacho of tho sumo color ub tho waistcoat, collar and cuffs or of tho trimming on tho hat. Tho ombroldory, making an inch wido bordering defining both edges of tho belt and appearing as tiny motifs or medallions Bcattorod over tho rest of tho matorlal, draws attention to tho wulst lino whUo tho excosslvo width of belt helps to omphaslzo tho wldo walated, narrow-hlppod- offect of tho llgure. It is far more chic looking than la tho ordinary bolt, for it Indi cates tho waist lino without actually doflnlng It, and It is infinitely moro becoming to a stout woman than la tho raiBod Bkirt-belt. Moreover, it Is ono of thoBo minor details which mark tho Btrcqt costumo as unusual, and to look "different" which, being Interpre ted, moans "not llko tho mob," 1b tho aim of every faBhlonablo woman.

Ono Ilttlo bride, with more ingenuity than monoy, mado photograph frames from material llko' hor wdddlng droaa, placed therein her portrait and that of hor fiance, then had tho wholo thing mounted under glass with a small gilt rim of picture framo molding. Her maldB wore delighted with tho gifts. (HRflp; OF THE SEASON nlco for visiting or wearing on any VOGUE OF THE LOW COLLAR Almost Innumerable Are the Oeslgm Offered Now That Fashion Has Decreed the Style. Tho cult of tho low neck la being catered for with every kind of turn over collar feminlno Ingenuity and tnsto can dovlso. Thoro is tho sailor collqr with Its nautical tie, tho Peter Pan of finest, sheerest lawn, the col lar In Jagged points, tho square col lar, and a thousand and ono other collara, all fascinating nnd becoming It ono has a round, full neck and good skin. Many of tho new collars end in lit tlo Jabota not tho full Jabot, for its day has paased but tho perfectly flat Jabot of finest laco and hand embroid ery. Of courso, tills low nocked effect with a tailor-made coat is not really attractive. It 1b charming with house frocks und autnmor gowns, but when tho coat with heavy outsldo collar la worn thoro la a baro, unfinished sort of look. In tho winter tho heavy, wind ing furs obviate this, and In the sum mer tho scarfB and feather boas serve, but thoro aro also dainty Ilttlo ruffa designed for tho aamo purpose. They aro fashioned of tulle or mnllno, aro soft and fluffy, nnd vory becoming to old nnd young, nnd any girl who la clevor with hor needle cau make one at homo. For Instnnco, ono model, which it ono of tho flufllcst kind, Is coniposcd of four layers of do'ublo mallnt's, and each layor is finely plaited. Tho mallnoa Bhould be folded doublo so that tho upper edgo is a fold edge. Rosa, Dinner. When roaoa aro used for decorative purposes tho linen and china uhould bo of tho finest, while floweiB novor look aa beautiful as when carelessly yet artistically arranged. Dainty creams may bo Borved In tho hearts or rosoB, but these rosea must bo mado from tho whlto hearts of bleach ud lettuce. Uso roses to surround dishes, but not to touch fooda unles candled loaves are served with bon bons. Decorate tho chandelier, candelabra and candles with Bilk roses, prefer ably red for night, or pink and whlto when candles aro not lighted. Place a roso with oach dessert and float ono in each finger bawl. Do not uso n profusion of flowers to give a studied offect, but ubo a Mifllctent amount of real roses and artificial ones to look tasteful, simple and charming. How Milady Wears Her Belt.

WHAT SHALL WE EAT? At this Beason of tho year there Is ,such a wealth of fruita and vegeta bles that wo should havo bornething In salads and fruits at least once a day upon our tables. It would bo wise for those who blamo the salad for at tacks of indigestion to look into tho ,iilad dressing for much of tho trouble. Mustard in any quantity Is decidedly unwholesome, a mere suggestion la enough for those who will Insist upon Its addition. A simple French dress ing, with salt and popper for season ing, can hurt nobody. A sour cream dressing is also deli cious, made aa follows: Let a cup of cream Just turning Bour stand twenty four hours; then, before using, whip until thick; add one-half tablespoonful of sugar, a tablespoonful of lemon Juice. Beat well into tho cream, so .that It. will be well blended. If tho lemon Juice Is added to the sugar and dissolved before adding, it will mix better. Asparagus Salad. Tie a bunch of asparnguB llpB together und steam un til tender. Cut rings of red pepper or tomatoes, slip the stalks of aspara gus Into the rings and place on a let tuce leaf. Serve with any desired salad dressing. Lemon Salad Dressing. Take a third of a cup of lemon Juice and a half teaspoonful of salt, add slowly the well beaten yolkB of three eggs: cook in a double boiler until the egg is set, cool und beat into this a third of a cup of olive oil; boat until it be comes creamy. Uao a Dover egg beat er and three minutes will be sufllcient time. Nut Potato Salad. Mix two cups or rlced potatoes whjch have been cooled with a cupful of pecan meats broken in bits. Sprinkle with salt and marin ate with French dressing; arrange on n bed of water creas or lettuce and gurnlah with halvea of pecan meats. Rochester Soup. This is a rich din ner soup. Blanch two-thirds of a cup of almonds, chop and pound In a mor tar, add gradually, while pounding, four tablespoonfuls of water, a half teaspoonful of salt, then add three cupfuls of chicken stock, one sliced onion and three stalks of celery brok en in bits. Simmer un hour, rub through a sieve und bind with three tablespoonuria each of butter and flour cooked together.

Molt two tableapoonful3 or butter, add n teaspoontul of salt, a few dashes or paprika, one-half a cup of milk, and a cup full of cold mashed baked beans. Stir until thoroughly hunted, and add one-hair cup or grated soft, mild cheese. As Boon as tho cheese i$ melt ed, serve on circular pieces of but tored toast The chafing dish may be nicely used for this dish. Minced Chicken With Grsen Pep pers. Cover a green popper with boil ing water ami cook for (en minutes, drain, remoxo the seeds und cut in nanow strips two Inches iong. iiBlng a pair of scissors. Melt two table spoonfuls of butter and add ono and a half tublespoonfuls or flour; stir until blended, then pour on two-thirds or a cup or tho liquor In which (ho chicken was cooked. Bring, to the boiling point, add a cup of diced chicken and tho peppers; again boll, and serve on pieces of toasted bread. Hashed Brown Potatoes. Cut fat salt pork Into cubes and fr out, re movo tho scraps und measure the fat, or which there should be two und a hair tablespoonfuls for every cupful of potatoes. Add n cup of flnelj chopped cold boiled potatoes to tho fat, season and cook three minutes, stirring constantly; then let stand to brown iinderneuth.

Keep candles for use for au evening on ice for a day or two, and thoy will burn clearer and longer. Wash the brush of the carpet sweep er and sun and air It. Just before using, moisten it well. Burns from acid Bhould have am monia applied at once; or, if that is not at hand, soda and water will do. Put rice Into plenty of boiling wa ter to start with, and remember that a damp, rainy day will cause a rapid evaporation of tho water. Pine apple Juice Is a good, pleasant cure for Indigestion. A plcco of the fresh fruit, if carefully masticated, ia also good. Grated horseradish mixed with lem on Juice, a bit of augnr and salt makes a most nppetizlng sauce to serve with fish or boiled steak. An old stocking leg slipped on over a whisk broom makes a fine brush to wipe, off the kitchen range. Soiled feathers may bo given an alcohol bath, then shaken until dry, and thoy will be quite fresh. Ugly cracks and splits in furniture may be filled with beeswax so that they will Hardly show. Save the old wash boiler for a garb n?e burner, using the back yard for the scene of action. Put a Ilttlo salt around the wick of a candfo under the flame; It will burn all night, giving a soft, steady flame. Swiss chard Is one of the vegetables that Bhould always be found In every garden. When very young It may be used as salad with French dressing, and later a-a greens. Obstinate coffee stains may be re moved with cold water and the yolk of an egg. When baking a cake, set the alarm clock so thut you will be sure to look at It. FF.ESH NEW VEGETABLES. For those fond or the fresh, crisp cabbage, there 1b no manner of- serv ing It more acceptable than the fol lowing: Shred thocabbago very fine, sprinkle with a dash of salt, sugar and sweet cream, adding enough vinegar fo ghe It tho desired anappy flavor. Cabbage, when coojfed, should bo dropped Into boiling water and cooked quickly; boll with the lid off, and If it !k fresh and green it will keep 1U color. Drain and press out tho wa ter. Serve with butter and vinegar, seasoning with salt and pepper, or ad'i a cream eauco well seasoned. Cauliflower Is a most delicious veg etable, and when well cooked and dressed Is truly "cabbage with a col lege education." Tomatoes. Tho tomato Is ono of our most delicious, vegetables when eaten raw, nnd it ia also most delight ful when cooked. To preserve the natural flavor, cut rather thick 'slices and try in butter on both sides, nel son lightly with salt afld pepper and sore with a rich dream sauce. Green tomatoes uro very good fried, cut In slices without peeling, sprinkle with augur, roll in flour or corn meal and fry in pure lard. When well browned season nnd servo as a garnish to mca:. When cooking greon peas add a tenspoonful of sugar to the water and a small bunch of mint. Stewed Lettuce. This Is not a dish uurticlently used to be very common: Wash and cook the vegetable until tender, thon dress It with butter, salt and pepper, and Berve it with vinegir ast greens, or cook It In a doublo bollr in milk, und when tender add buttvr and Reasonings. Cucumbers aro commonly served In tho uncooked state, though thoy are ery palatable when cooked and served with n sauce.
