FUN IN THE GLASSES.
Simple Way for n Hostess 10 Make Her
Guests Forget the Hours.

A Simple Way for n Hostess TO Make Her
Guests Forget the Hours.
A popular amusement in the East says
the Detroit Free Press, is the production Of
melodious sounds from water-flled glass
vessels. The simplicity OF the outfit needed
and the requirement of each person to do
his share in the entertainment contributes
largely. no doubt, to the popularity of the
amusement.
When conversation flags, as it Is some
times prone to do, or even when it does not,
the hostess leaves the room to re-enter with
a tray bearing sufficient number of cham
payne glasses and finger bowls to equip the
company. The glasses are filled at different
heights with water, some to the top and
others perhaps quarter or three parts full.
They are placed on table or on some other
firm support, and each guest molstens a
finger and proceeds to run it quickly round
and round the rim of the glass. The sounds
produced in this manner are simply won
dertul and startling, too, to one hearing
them for the first time. The larger the
number of players the greater the variety OF
sounds, and the thinner the rims OF the
glass the greater the number of the vibra-
tions.
The finger bowls filled with varying
depths of water produce the deep sounds and
the champagne glasses the higher sounds.
Thus party OF tour, with a little practice
in the quantity OF water used, may with the
bowls initiate the cello and viola, and with
the glasses the first aud second violins.

THE STEAM LIFEBoAT.

Great Hopes for. 1ts Success OF Stormy
Consis of the Sea.
A lively discussion took place be ore the
British Association on the advantages and
drawbacks of the first steam lifeboat which
has been constructed in England. Sir
James Douglas was of opinion that the new
boat would fulfill its promise. In spite of
the necessary sacrifice of speed caused by
the hydraulic system Of propulsion, the
boat was fast and powerful enough to deal
with heavy sea and an adverse gale. Be-
sides this, she had stability and self-right-
in. qualities which were OF the utmost
value. Another important feature, Sir
James said. was the maneuvering proper
ties when alongside wreck. Liiebnat
men were of the opinion that no steam YES
sci could be success 'ul in this respect, but
according to his view the two jets employed
woulu solve the problem. Another speaker
said that during some trials at Harwich the
boat had been run in a rough sea, although
not so rough as it would have to contend
with in ordinary winter work. They had
tested, as lar as possible, the properties of
the boat in maneuvering alongside a wreck.
The results had been salts aetory, but the
test OF actual work alone would be conciG-

An Eastern Scheme Which Only Costs q
Postal Gard to Ones Self.
The Holyoke Transcript says two well
knawn citizens were Standing together in
the corridor of the posseffice. One hap
pened to notice that postal card held in the
fingers of the other was directed to the
holder. "Why, how does this Gomez" was
asked; edo you write letters to yourself?"
I'm this case, yes" was the answer.
''That's funny"
well, not so very. See the other side
He held it up and the other read:
"Bro. Blank-There will be a meeting of
the /. o. o. S. B.. No. 387, at the hall, the
evening OF June 20, to transact special busi-
ness. Members not present will be fined

"Yes; but don't exactly catch on" pro-
tested the innocent.

rect one of these postals to my house. When

sigh. I offer to stay at home and stand the

That's all, my friend, except that the scheme
is worked BY hundreds of others and our
poor, deluded wives haven't tumbled to the
racket yet"
1t is too bad to give this away, but it is too
good to keep.

COLD WEATHER FASHIONS.

Shirley Dare Tells How Women of Sense
Are Fixing Their Observation-Disclosures
Fapctes in Furs aud Robes-Shoes for
IneIa.tic Pavemrnt< and Floors.
WRITTEN FOR THR DIsrA1tHl
A welcome GOODNESS in the wind promises
frost-the blessed frost whose touch exor-
cises from the air foulness and disease,
which destroys odors of swamp and street
and sends a thrill of life into weakened
frames. Two things the world would be very
Ill off without-the east wind and frost-the
the two angels of health which counteract
malaria and plague.
They bring out tbe fur capes early and
sensiblv, for when is cold more felt than
when it first comes? The stylish, reserved
wearers like the coats in the softest thick
wool, light as elder flannel, with dull, fine
finish. Simply fitted in the back, the mar
row, single fronts look slender without darts,
and thick cloth looks bun .lingly fitted to
the bust ANYHOW at best. A princess or 4
woman of exclusive taste would choose one
of these fine coats, with long revers, braided
with the cord that is not much more than
coarse sewing silk on revers, collar and mar
row cuff, leaving the braided sleeveto popu-
larity which will Immediately vulgarize 1t.
HATS AND BoAs THIS AUTUMN.
To this coat the fair wearer will add the
boa of thickly curled or sheared feathers, or
the glossy cooks plumage, which is rather
the choice for its effect in throwing up the
whiteness of the complexion above it Alasl
these pretty feather boas are forbidden to
round faces and short throats, which remind
one OF a Christmas pudding-round and

faces with cheeks that have lost their full

holding the muzzle OF small silvet-mounted
smelling bottle close against his face.
"You drop my dog, you scoundrel, or I'll
shoot you," said the girl through her tight
clenched teeth.
The young fellow pesred out of his small
eyes into the angry, determined face before
him, and as he attempted to shake the girls
hand from his collar, said:
Jaw, wot yer given me, anyway. Don't
yeu see, we're der dog catchers an you amt
got no right ter have yer purp out widout a
muzzle. Der dog goes along wild us, see?"
The girls face took on still fercer and
more ominous look. The dog. still in the
grasp of the man, was twisting to get away
and yelping with pain.
IF you do not drop my dog this instant"
said the girl, 81 will fire ball square into
your ugly face. Do you hear me?"
With these words she gave the dog-catcher
sharp shake, and he dropped the dog, who
scampered away to q safe distance and So
his mistress. BY this time people were COM
ing up to see what the disturbance was, but
it was the discounted dog-catcher who had
to explain matters.
SHE TESTED HIS NOSTRUMS.
A mystery has finally been solved. Mrs.
La Blanque was one of large family of
children. 1 think there were five daugh-
tiers, and each has always been famous for
her peachy complexion. Mrs. La Blanque,
however, has for years been the victim Of
some cutaneous disorder. Last month La
Blanque died and at once the widows COM
plexion began to clear. ''The Eeartless
thing" think 1 hear you exclaim, "her
secret Joy made her roseaIe." Nay, not so.
She is grieving for La Blanque deeply, for
she was sincerely attached to him. "Ah,"
you burst out ''the bleaching effects of
grief, no doubt" Wrong again. "Well,
in goodness name," you reply, spappishly,
what did do the business for her?"
Don't get excited and you shall hear. 1t
seems that La Blanque-a fact which the
pretty Madge was ignorant of-was for
years silent partner in firm OF soap and
face powder manufacturers. and that La
Blanque, this fend in later, grease and dust,
has been, since his marriage to the pink and
pearl damsel, secretly experimenting upon
her once matchless skin with the various
lotions, powders, unguents, balms, creams,
soaps, washes, vinegars, tinctures, pastes,
deplatories, enamels ointments and cos
metics produced by his firm. The question
which am now revolving in my mind is
whether that man who tickled his wife to
death for the simple pleasure of hearing her
laugh or La Blanque. who, in his mad desire
to test the efficacy OF his nostrums, came so
near destroying his wife's complexion is de-
serving of my greater resentment. 1 incline
to regard La Blanque as the villain of the
deeper dye. CLARA BELLE.

to he close economists find nothing so we'll
worth the money, hardly more for the safety
than the spinal relief in walking.
DR.. Bowditch. OF Boston, as widely and
well known as any physician in this coun-
try, is quoted as saying half the spine dis
ease he meets is caused or aggravated by
high, hard heels, aud has given the rubber
heel his emphatic commendstion. With
all possible respect to the doctor, however,
those who try the rubber attachment to
shoes need no other commendat1on than
their own much relieved spines.
COLD WEATHER GARMENTS.
From feet to head is bat at step in shop
ping, and the last eontinenal styles re-
ceived since this letter show opened
figures in one illustration which have the
chenille embroidered felts untrimmed. and
two really graceful trimmed ones beside the
sailor, to which wearers cling in felt.
The long cloak, figured in rich lampas
with velvet stripes and ostrich bordering
for theater, is an excellent model for cold
weather, in thick camels' hair or the silky
winter cheviot in chevron weaving, that Is,
with reversed stripes. The border is not in
dispensable, still for the cape it may be a
narrow edge of astrakhan or fur, with foot
border OF deep astrakhan or fluffy beaver.
The little ostrich collar is Very pretty, and
bright girls will quickly see use for their
spare bits of ostrich feathers sewn on satin
foundation. The huge trimmed felt bonnet
shows the long velvet strings to be worn.
Observe, too. the neat dressing of the throats
in these bonneted heads-the straight or
nearly straight velvet collars, surmounted by
a finish of white; either fold of silk on the
narrow linen collar with points or in cleri-
cal round shape, and the brooch worn eff
fectively on the velvet. The close bodice of
the bonneted figure shows the best style of
shoulder for the winter sleeves, the Princess
style, as that lady of sovereign good taste,
the Princess of Wales prefers them.

| gait fostering a general ache of the muscles
which tends to anything but usefulness of
feeling. What is to be done? To wear rub
bers constantly is only another form of the
evil, for the feet cased in their own warm
moisture get dangerously chilled on taking
rubbers off.
The safe thing is to have a rubber soled
shoe, which leaves the upper part OF the
foo. dry and free to the air. ] never expect
to see again the eminently sensible walking
shoe which appeared in Boston shops six
years since, which had a rubber sole inlaid
on the tread, which was the most elastic,
com fortable shoe tor country walks, garden
ing aud snowy days one could ask. There
were no rheumatics from digging in flower
borders or pacing damp October walks with
those boots, I promise you. The trouble
was they were too good, for that one pair
ISM worn out to this day, and so they were
taken out Of sale for the benefit of poorer
stock. But one can have sole cut out OF
thin, pure rubber and cemented to a thin
boot for so or IS cents pai- and save end
less internal troubles from cold feet. Do
you know how much easier living is with
feet duly shod with elastic soles? The ease
of getting about on them took third ones
weight off. Who can estimate the relief to
back, sinews and leg muscles?
IMPORTANCE OF SOUND sHoEING.
All drivers know that city streets and
pavements wear out the feet and strength of
horses ar sooner than the country roads.
Are pavements and floors any kinder to
women? 1 don't believe any one who reads
ever thought about it, but the constant
stepping about non-elastic floors and side
walks must wear greatly on the limited
strength OF women. Earth gives, the
mountain sod is elastic, the woodland, the
grassy turf yield and save the foot which
treads them.
Tiles, marble, stone, cement, oilcloth do
not give way, and all the impact OF the
tread returns upon the muscles and nerves
in a cruel way. This constant jarring, un-
noticed at first, works strange mischief in
women's organisms. and the cause is seldom
suspected. Wood floors and sole leather
heels are elastic beside stone pavements and
metal heels, but not sufficiently so. One
feels the difference very soon in climbing
iron or stone stairways, which take the lie
out of the step strangely, and 1 pray never
will become common for the sake of human
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-10-05

ity, which wastes itself upon them. But to
know the luxury of footing, and how much
relief is possible to the strain of life never
dreamed of, one should put on the new shoes
with elastic seam. 1t is just little thing,
an eighth of an inch or less of pure rubber
let in at the ball of the foot, betv cen sole
and upper, invisible, detracting nothing
from the fit of as shapely shoes as are sold,
but making all the difference of ease and
springy step. and taking the strain of so
many painful muscles.
MUTE SUFFERING.
Housekeepers, clerks, car drivers and
floor walkers know what it is to feel that
every step drives the heel into a socket of
sore flesh about the ankle, and that again
sends the bone of the upper leg against the
hip socket with jar that tells painfully on
the sore and quivering flesh of the front and
back muscles of the trunk. I am not writ
ing anatomically so much as telling how
walking feels on unelastie floors and pave
ments, though OF inlaid woods, marble or
Minton tiles A great deal of suffering
goes on in our costly thoroughfares in mute
endurance. Mute, because no one can pity
who has not felt the pain. l know it, have
known it year after year, and can appre-
ciate the relief, the saving of muscle which
these rubber additions to the sole afford.

ticed the accidents which happen on the
marble and iniaid floors of shops as well as
on slippery ice? There is not day that
people do not measure their length on the
smooth marble, or slip and bring up with
strain that wrenches every ligament of their
bodies. Add TO this the dreadful slipping
of heels worn smooth on the edge of steps or
thresholds with shock and wrench, and you
have quite list of risks to run before the
ice sets in with its dangers to life and limb.
SAFETY FOR WALKERS.
There is a ladies' coffee room L know

from a back window and went home to
Gettysburg, where he remained for several
weeks.
When at last he did get over eating
humble pie, and came back penitently to
take the oath of Office, he was re used ad-
mission-his seat being declared vacant.
But this was in his earlier days before ne
had settled in Lancaster, or had taken a
prominent position in national politics.
AN EXTREMIST.
Like Sumner he put the abolition of
slavery before everything else. He had
little patience withthe conservatism o Lin
coin, whose main idea was to save the Union
either with or without slavery. Stevens
was in favor of confiscating Southern lands
for the benefit OF the slaves and the Union
soldiers. The amendments to the Constitu-
tion conferring the right of suffrage to the
ignorant eolored men atthe South were due
largely to his efforts. Had he not been
blinded by partisan zeal his political wis
dom would have told him that to put the
ballot in the hands OF illiteracy was a dan
gerous proceeding. But it seems there was
at that time a determination on the part of
some of the most radical Republican mem
bers to humiliate the white people of the
South.
If Thaddeus Stevens were in the House
bossing things as he did in the days OF re-
construction, it would not be surprising if
he should honestly reach the conclusion
that it would have been better for the former
slaves to have had the ballot as an incentive
to education-at least enough of it to under
stand what it all means.
However, those were stirring days. and
happily the animosities are dying out and
giving way 10 the nobler arts OF peace. The
conciliating policy of Lincoln is now ac-
knowledged to have been wiser than the
fiery passion of those whose zeal outran their
discretion. BESSIE BRAMBLE.

terms which combine deep, rich mist puppies
with gray and russet bars, or green an gold,
are so delightful in the shop windows one
regrets to think of them mismade, tumbled
and worn by the wrong woman. They are
TO be worn as drapery solely, in shoulder
plaids, which are their real purpose, and in
plain skirts with broad side pleats, dra ped

Mrs. T. Y. desires to know whether his,h
sleeves are in correct taste, as she has set.n
them criticised for making persons look
round backed. A moderate high shoulder
and sleeve are anatomically correct, as they
give natural play to the muscles OF the
shoulder, while broad shoulder cut brings
the seam directly across the curve of the
muscle. The high-topped sleeve is gro
tesque, and looks as ii it were striving to
give the ears flap, and when the fullness
is carried back at all it gives pitiful effect
of bow shoulders. A good form has the
shoulder blades fat as the wall, and back
Sat for its length, save an inward hollow at
