THE LATEST FAD

Is cute Little Watch Pocket in
the Cloak Collar.
Chicago Press.
"Have you any collar watcheS?" The
querist was one of pair of very pretty
girls, accompanied by an elderly gentle
man of pOrtly presence, and the ques-
ton was addressed to the proprietor of
a leading jewelry store.
Mr.. p, i'll due course, produced about
a hundred tiny little tickers of the odd
est shapes and the Quaintest styles of
decoration.
the old gentleman CORRESPONDENCE
glum. and with reason, for within a
quarter of an hour he had parted with
crisp greenbackS to the tune of $3.50,
and two of the prettiest of the tiny
tickers were safely nSconced-where
do you think?-in two cunning little
pockets in the collar of the chic cloth
coats of the two overiOyed young ladies.
The fair plunderers and the plum
dered having departed, Mr. p. was re-
queSted to give pedigree of the newest
feminine fad.
"There is but little pedigree to give,'
he replied. The fancy has come eX-
press from London, and seems to have
SIruck q SOU spot III the susceptible te-
male heart. In a lew weeks we have
sold more than fifty of the little watch
es, and, as the range from S35 to $50
each, you may gauge the extent of the
fad.
Small watches have, anyway. been
coming more and more in vogue, and
when some aristocratic London charmer
bethOught herself of watch pocket in
the coat collar she soon found host of
followers.
Il will show you neater device than
that, and the idea originated with one of
the bellies of Chicago"
And going to one of the safes Mr.. P.
produced set of handsome buttons, a
little larger than silver quarter.
There were set of seven buttons,
beautifully designed and executed. In
appearance they reSembled natty little
watches of the cOIlarette CONFEDERATION,
and in one of them was imbedded a
fetching little timepiece OF fine finish.
''These were designed by my young
lady herself" said Mr.. p, ''for her
street ulster, and were manufactured
right here in Chicago. Their cost?
$500. If this sort OF thing keeps up l
expect the young ladies will soon be
wearing watches in their collar-but-
tons.

of chess after check in three moves
has been announced. Of course the
pocket must not be seen, and that's the
end of it.
"But perhaps, after all, the world
would continue to wag if pockets were
visible to the naked eye. They might
be made ornamental. There are certain
points and lines about a gown, as about
a building, which present themselves to
the eye of the artist as proper for orna-
mentation. The collar, the cuffs. tine
junction Of the sleeve with the bodice,
the vest, the belt, the edge of the skirt

termined effort the pocket could be
made to assert itself boldly as having
come to stay, here would be immedi-
ately fertile field for garniture. Pock-
ct flaps would give breadth to lank
figure and jauntineSS to a slim one, and
lengthwise folds or panels break the
eXpanse of skirt on stout woman, and
make good covers for pockets.
American women are not generally
troubled with conservatism, and moth
ing else stands in the way"
Perhaps you are right" said the
other women, each mentally resolving
to try the experiment. So look out Tor

VlctlOnS, and 1t is a rare thing to be
found In the world, any way, but men
possess it to much greater degree than
women.
To illustrate my meaning | will refer
TO an accident which occurred to a Wom-
an friend recently. She was struck on
the head by long iron rod which pro-
truded from the back of a wagon. The
scene was upper Broadway, New York:
the hour, near noon. No one was in
immediate proximity as she received
the blow. The cart ratified away aud
its reckless driver was wholly uncon-
SciOuS of the results OF his careleSsness.
The lady was knocked down, but she
did not lose consciousness. She
scrambled to her feet and found her
self covered with blood-hair di-
sheveled, her hat knocked out of shape,
and she was obliged to cling to an
iron lampp0st to collect her ideas and
prevent herself from swooning with the
pain. AS she stood there. faint, blood
stained and dusty, several ladies passed
her by. None Of them had seen the &C
cident, but all could see that she was
well-dressed and very pretty young
woman who was in some way wounded
and suffering and alone; but not one of
these ladies had the moral courage to
pause and offer her their assistance.
She might be drunk and diSurderly."
perhaps, and they hurried by with curl
Gus chances. The suffering young wom-
an hailed passing cab and was able to
get into it alone, just as the first male
pedestrian was about to approach and
offer his services.
This is but one instance in scores
which have come under my observation.
1t is always men. never women, who
rush to the rescue of a sister-woman i'll
any public place in the time Of an acct
dent. 1t Is not that women lack SYM
pathy, but because they lack independ-
ence of action. They have an over
whelming horror of doing anything I'M
usual which will attraction attention in
public places; and they permit this
deeply grounded idea of good conduct
to crowd out sympathy, kindness and
humanity in nine cases out OF ten.
1t often seems to me that the average
woman wears a mental straightforward,
which renders it impossible for her
ideas TO move from certain orbit.
In matters of dress this is particularly
noticeable. was once visiting at a
house into which came lady who pos
SeSsed some exquisite art gowns. They
were graceful and becoming and classic
in design. The hostess aud her friends
admired these gowns when they were
displayed one by one, but when their
pOsSessor spoke of wearing one of them
at an afternoon reception which was to
be given In her honor, they cried out:
"Oh, | would not think of it were | in
your place. You see. no one else will
be dressed like that, and it would not
be understood" The lady insisted,
however, and wore Greek gown, which
all the men raved over rnd admired to
such an extent that the mind of the
hostess was relieved. Bet the distress,
excitement and fear which this slight
departure from conventional idea had
caused this goSd woman and her friends
prior to the reception were both anus
ing and pathetic to me.

The artists discovered this long ago,
and many of the uptown studios have
theirs walls covered with the dainty,
cobweb-like seines which have been
cast aside by Long Island and Jersey
fishermen.
If you have an alcove off your room
which you have been surveying with a
Iack-luster eye and worrying over, be
at rest. A net is precisely what it
needs. Drape the seine against the
wall, from bamboo fishing rod instead
of pole, and against that background
hang lot of your marine sketches or
water calors. If you can swing ham,
mock across and make genuine nau-
teal corner of it so much the better.
A seine also makes an exceedingly
pretty frieZe. Cut the net as narrow as
you please, feStoon it from the ceiling
all around the room, and you will have
something which is unique and very
effective.

alluring, and the sketch of the lamp
is pretty. To make it you must save
all your empty spoolS. Get cherry
curtain pole four feet long Tor a
brass one if you prefer and four steel
or brass rods each thirty-two inches in
length. These can be bought in any of
the large stores for one or two cents a
foot.
A carpenter will make you two smooth
pieces of board eighteen inches square,
with four small holes in each corner
and one large one in the center for the
pole. Also piece of board eighteen by
six inches, with holes in each end, and
two pieces six inches square, with small
holes in the center. All the boards
should be bevel edged.
Put three spOols on each rod and one
large square, then five or six spools ac-
cording to size, and the two small
squares. Now comes the long piece. six
more spoOls and the other squares. Glue
two SpOOlS to the top of each rod.
1t sounds rather intricate. doesn't it.
but the cut will give you a better idea
of the process.
A brass cup with three or four holes
in the bottom is the next requirement,
the holes being for the long screws
which fasten it to the pole. A funnel
to ut, burner and chimney cOmOieto
finish the lamp. Buy a pretty wire
shade, shirr yellow China silk into a
standing frill at the top, gather in to
the bottom wire, finish with ruffle of
fine cream lace and small bows to match
the silk. and you have your lamp. The
wood and spools should, of course, be
stained cherry and vanished, or gilded
if you prefer. The cost of this will be
precisely S2.15.
You have moved into a new fiat, and
your rugs are not large enough, are
they? There's a hideous margin be-
tween them and the walls, too wide to
paint. You've thought it all over and
decided that you will have to buy larger
rugs.
Well, you won't. Do what a clever
New York woman did the other day.
II looked at those rugs and margins
until my soul was SICK" she said, "but
they didn't come any nearer together,
until an inspiration came to me. Then
hied me downtown and guess what /
bought? l bought blue jean. Just the
common. ordinary, everyday blue jean
that workmen wear. My rugs were
delicately gray. put that stuff down
carefully. smoothly, tightly, made a
border of it, and the effect is charming.
Everybody who comes in admires it"
