BEAUTY DRESS FOR CHANDELIERS.

How many women know that there is
one little tell-tale in her drawing room
that will number her years as accurately
as the family Bible? Let her light the
gas in the upper chandeliers and, stand
ing directly under it, look into the mir
ror. She will see every sharp line in her
face accentuated, every hollow in her
checks, every line under her eyes craven
deeper. The unshaded light from the
chandelier falling directly upon her face
is what does it. When women design
and build their homes, as well as live
and suffer in them, there will be no upper
lights to make them old before their
years do. But until that time comes they
will have TO compromise with the evil,
but still endure it with what mitigatons
they can devise, Not long ago an in
genious woman put the globes in her
drawing room in what she called petit
coats of pale pink silk, and saw ten
years slip away as she stood under them
for the first trial. This is the
way she fashioned these beauty
petticoats. Sewing the ends of a
long straight piece of the silk together
she ran narrow pink ribbon through it
at top and bottom, leaving n tiny rufiie
at the top. Putting the silk upon the
globe she drew it closely above (fortu-
nately the globe had slight faring edge
at the top, making neck about which to
tie the ribbon) and then gathering it
smoothly she brought the lower part
down not only to the lower part of the
globe but clear down to the brass bracket

Artificial Gems.

The progress of chemistry bids fair to
lower the value of nearly every article of
iewelry, elementary substances not al
ways excepted, if it is true that diamonds
consist of pure carbon. Rubies have
been produced in way that can no
longer be called imitation, being an al
most perfect equivalent of Natures
handiwork. Emeralds, too, have been
compounded by variety of artificial
methods, and several European special
lists appear to be on the close track of a
secret for the artificial production of
pearls. A jeweller of Berne, Switzer-
land, tells his experience with two stran-
gers who asked the favor of private in
terview, and then handed him three good
sized pearls, with u request to point out
the one they had reason TO consider a
counterfeit. After q close and careful
inspection, the expert admitted his in
ability to distinguish the three specimens,
except by slight difference in shape.
One of his visitors then produced an
electric pocket apparatus emitting a
brilliant light, and by means of micro
scopic test convinced the lapidary that
one of the pearls was really nothing but
a clever imtation-not glass bulb with
a pearly lining, but small ball of some
unknown, but apparently homogeneous,
substance. The strangers then left
without explaining the ultimate purpose
of their visit The glass variety of arti-
fetal pearls, too, have been marvellous ly
improved by process which removes the
vitreous appearance and consists in ex-
posing the glass bulbs for short time to
the vapor of hydrohuoric acid New
York Voice.

Silver cornucopas with perforated

White satin ribbon is great deal used
on elaborate hats and bonnets of black
or colored velvet. 1t forms rosette clus-
ters, square bows, torsade around the
crown, high loops and strings that lap
under the chin and are pinned high at
the back.
Now does the wise virgin freshen up
her last years silk skirts with exquisite
millinery in the way of dinner bodices or
concert waist. They may be made of
any rich cleaning stuff and decorated ac-
cording to the yagaries of the most fan
tastic caprice.
The newest evening gowns for young
women are black chiffon or mousseline
de sole, embroidered with color and
trimmed with velvet the shade of the
color. These dresses may be lined with
black or tint, according to the fancy of
the purchaser.
| There are still some dresses made with
foundation skirts, in spite of the popu-
larity of the fin-de-siecle or bell skirt.
Many of the bell skirts, however, are ar
ranged over foundation skirt, though
this is not the orthodox manner of max
ing them. Some dressmakers fancy they
hang better mounted in this way, rather
than when simply lined.
Black satin bonnets are among the re.
cent importations. They are faced with
white, edged with jet, and trimmed with
white applique lace, Russian sable anC
feather aigrettes. They come in small
shapes, and also in the new flaring direc-
toire bonnets, with rosettes of almond
green satin inside The brim, or with trim
mings of white satin ribbon.
Charmingly effective is black lace over
white. Dresses of this description are,
as rule, dem- trained and much mar
rover than formerly. They are made
without draping and so arranged that the
skirt and bodice are separate. Some of
them have the founcing on the front and
sides put on as double skirt with one
hounce much deeper than the other.
The latest Sheath" skirt is several de-
grees more absurd and uncomfortable
looking than any of the models that have
yet appeared, banding the figure tightly
with not an inch to spare. A gored seam
goes up the front, and there are cores at
the sides, which remove every particle of
fullness in the skirt front. At the ex-
treme back few inches of fullness ter
mates in short train This skirt has
even narrower cores than the bell-skirt,
favored of Dame Fashion.

" CORN CUTTIN' -
A Character Sketch from the Back.
woods of Eastern Kentucky.

A few weeks ago l was travelling on
horseback through Elliot County, East
ern kentucky, when emerging from a
long stretch of unbroken forest, sud
uenly came upon field of weeds and
corn at the left of the road. Riding on
a little distance, | observed, sitting on
the TOP rail OF the badly crippled fence,
an ola man. He had long beard, which
would have been white had not constant
bath OF amber kept it colored brown
ish yellow. His nose was long and
bumped itself into a high thin position,
separating his small eyes that seemed
trying persistently to get together. He
mad an old white wool hat that rested its
rear section on the occipital division of
his Uranium, while the right side of it
sank down and took rest on his fan like
ear. From numerous mouth-li like rents in
all departments of his old hat, the brstly
hair protruded like the brushes Of a sign
painter. His heels rested on the third
rail from the top, thus throwing his knees
up to the neighborhood of his chest. On
his knee rested his elbow, and in his long,
bony palm, hung his chin. Two hounds
sat beneath him, and gazed up at their
lord and master with worshipful eyes.
Chow do you do, old gentleman" was
my greeting, delivered in tone of smil-
ing suavity.
"Do jis' about az 1 please this ere

Don't you do as you please all the

A Hen Twelve Days Without Food.

The editor recently had load of hay
thrown into crib on top of some other
hay, and without knowing it a chicken
hen was caught and covered up by it,
supposed to have been on her nest. Just
twelve days later she was discovered in
there, softly singing some chicken melo-
dies. Her voice was low, and we imagine
had pathetic sadness about it, though
what the lines she was singing were will
never be known, as we have not studied
the chicken dialect. She was fine game
hen, however, and we could not dis
cover that there was anything in her
language or tone that indicated her will
lingness to "go back on" her blood. She
was rescued, and after drinking water
for about two hours she joined her
friends, and has since been as cheerful

AUTUM NJ LEAVES.
simply Chemical Change in tho OOlorina
Matter.


Donald Mitchell, in one of his de-
lightful essays, has characterized the
brilliant display which marks the
progress of fall as the "Autumn
miracle" Certainly there is much
about this transformation Of the
foliage, this lavish spread and swing
Of color, that stamps it as such. The
touches of this mysterical painter for
this year are already seen on the
neighboring hills and wood. The
pale green's. and yellows, usually the
first in order, have appeared, and the
flush OF the pinks in many places be-
gin to deepen to dead red. Science,
with its learned explanations, HAS
never been able to efIace all the ro-
nance which surrounds this change
There is something interesting, to be
sure, in the relations between the
fruit and the leaf. They are really
twin brothers, it seems, only the one
has been given better opportunities
than the other, and so makes the
earlier show in the world. Their
course in life, however, is the same.
They mature, change color, and then
fall, alike. This fancied touch of the
painter is only chemical change In
the coloring matter of the chloro-
phyl, and the flush on the cheek OF
the peach is not at all different from
that on the autumn leaf. This is
science, but it does not afford half
the pleasure that did the thought
that all was due to the sturdy breath
of the north wind. However, cold
weather has little to do with this
work of transformation. One of the
most brilliant autumnal displays in
the White Mountains was that Of
some dozen years ago. The whole
sides of many of the hills seemed to
have been converted into sheets of
flame. Heightening the effect was a
ground covered lightly with the fall
of first snow, the scarlet hues of the
foliage flashing within this chaste
setting. The explanation was that
the cold weather had set in unusually
early, while ne leaves had been late
in ripening. Leaves are attached to
their stems by series Of thickened
cells. AS these grow old and harden,
the leaf is released and thus falls
Oak leaves, however, are not subject
to this change of color or falling in
the autumn. They are like certain
kinds of apples; ripening has no effect
upon their appearance. Oak leaves
this season present a dead and de-
cayed appearance, while all theiI
neighbors are flashing in the brightest
raiment. Boston every year sends
delegations to New Hampshire to wit
ness the autumn miracle. Notable
in their devotions are many of the
members of the Appalachian Mountain
Club. Preparations are now being
made for the fall pilgrimage. Boston

People in general have an idea that
Turkish women absolutely do nothing
that is either useful or ornamental aside
from the decoration of their own persons,
but that is not altogether true, as my
residence of over u year in their country
taught me, for they are really dexterous
with the needle and do work which is as
fine as that done by the Sisters in the
converts or that of the wives of the feudal
noblemen of olden times.
The favorite pastime of the Turkish
women is the bath, which brings together
the wives and slaves of all the well-to-do
Turks, and is like picnic of school
children,
These wives, most of them very young
some, indeed, not overtwelve and four
te en- years old-take their lunch along,
and they eat and steam, plunge and
splash, and play pranks upon each other
in the widest glee the whole day long.
No fear of an angry husband haunts
their minds, for they are not expected to
do anything, and their husbands very
rarely enter the harems before o'clock

HOME FOR GIRL STUDENTS.

One of the wisest of late Boston en-
terprises, and one that meets long-felt
need, is the new home for girl students
which has just been fitted up on the cor
ner of Huntington avenue and Gainsboro
street by Mr.. Albert L. Murdock. The
home is called "The Bartol," after Bos-
tons eminent and widely popular clergy
man. The purpose of "The Bartop' is
to give to girl students who have no home
in Boston or vicinity all possible COM
forts, and even many luxuries, at an ex-
pense less than is necessary now to pro-
vide them uncomfortable and inadequate
quarters in private houses. Girls can
have rooms at an expense ranging from
Sl.50 to $3.50 per week, and wholesome,
substantial meals will be served at 194
cents. The dining IN is a cheerful
apartment overlooking Back Bay Park.
In the middle of the day lunches will be
served at 81 cents each, and luncheons
put up for girls, wishing to be away at
noontime, at the same price. Laundry
work will cost only three-fourths of the
usual rates. The Bartol will be cooper
alive for all who remain year. The
girls will have the use of an elegant par
lor, music room, reading room, sitting
rooms and spacious veranda on the
roof.-lNe Orleans Times-Democrat.
