REVISION OF CURRENT RATES (Written for The Chronicle) In this > issue c of The Chronicle ap pears an advertisement of the city, showing revised electric current rates, classified under the three heads of lighting rates; coftkifig and heating rates, and manufacturing rates. The^ revision was found necessary by the fact that the recent revision mt the income from electric current about 40 per cent, whereas the saving in changing from Steam produced cur rent to hydro electric current nets only about 15 per cent. The new rates rep resent fractionally more than 15 per '"ert reduction fronv the old rates here tofore in effect, but are higher than the new rates published a mpnth or so ago. The loss resulting the new amounted to about $14,000 a Itp year, while the saving from hydro- - j electric current amounted to only FOR SALE—Bell pepper and hot pep- j about $6,000 a year, which would have per, and tomato plants. 3 dozen for ' produced a deficit of about $8,000 a 25c.

Things to Remember When Washing Silks Silk is the universal, fabric, for it adapts itself to elaborate of simple designs—tailored in tinish or berutiled and lace trimmed. But if one is not careful in wash ing her silk garments, says a corre spondent. they are apt to become faded and bedraggled ere half their days. Extremes of heat and cold are t>ud for both. Harsh soups ruin silk as they redden and roughen your face. \> hisk one tablespoonful of a re- iable washing powder Into a thick lUthcr in a wash bowl half full of very hot water. Add cold water till lukewarm. Dip the garment up and down. pressing suds repeatedly through soiled spots. Rinse in three lukewarm waters. Squeeze water out —do not wring. Roll in a towel; when nearly dry press with a warm iron— never a hot one. For colored silks, make* suds and rinsing waters almost cool. Wash very quickly to keep colors from run ning. Never wring or twist silks; It makes^ the smooth silk threads slip over on^f another and give a wavy appearance which is permanent. Water should be squeezed or shaken out. It is well to place a very delicate silk between, Hoths while squeezing. * Don’t sprinkle silks. It makes them look spotty and this appearance can only be overcome by relaundering. Pure white silk (not cream) may b« -slightly- blued. ' Press silks on the wrong side white they are still damp, or place a thin cloth over the right side of the silk and iron. The latter method Is often better for very thin silk. A hot Iron should never be used on silk. It will cause the silk to'split. It also makes It stiff and papery and will yellow It.

Bright Colors Favored J in AH Paris Fashions “High colors for street wear and anything but black for formal wear” is the impression gathered from a survey of the Paris fashions. Green In several new dull shades Is partic ularly good, and all of the beige (ones are receiving a great deal of favor. There is no doubt that there is more fullness In skirts, and flares from the knee down are more in evi dence than ever. Some plaited ef fects are Introduced to give fullness, but these are not as numerous as the flared lines, which give a great deal of charm to shorter skfrts.

Deep Fringes Graceful; Provide Nice Decoration There is something perennially fas cinating to women about the careless grace of silk fringes. Perhaps l{ is an Inheritance from primitive days, when wild grasses formed! the mate rial with which the /eternal feminine’ ■.'ratified. her desire for adornment. No doubt the South Sea Island craze has Influenced the mode for fringe, while the lovely Spanish shawls have taught American women the beauty of :he softly falling "fringe border. An especially lovely-Wnsemble was trimmed with fringe. The chic hut •dmple dress, and the accompanying roat were^ both bordered with silk fringes id two tiers. The dress was built on wrap-around or coat lines and showed the new surplice line, opening over a lame vest. The suppje coat followed exactly the jines of the dress, beneath and was lapped over and held, m the side.
