To Hold Child in Bed.
A bedclothes fastener is the latest
household device of general interest.
The purpose of that appliance is to
hold restless children in bed and to
keep the covers snug about their
shoulders on cold nights. The device
likewise stops the little sleepers from
lying on their backs and thus prevents
snoring and nightmare.
Here is A description of the device:
"A band is arranged. to extend
across and be ATTACHED at or near it's
ends and middle to, the upper end OF
the under side of the top sheet or
| cover.
'"The attachment is made by cords
fastened to the band and secured by a.
whip grip around balls of rubber, cork
or wood, incased by the sheet.
10 each end of the main band are
attached elastic extensions, to be Sc
| cured by eyeholes on screw-hooks on
the bedstead, q branch band also ex-
! tending to a similar fastening on the
| head OF the bedstead, there being more
than one branch band if more than
| two persons sleep in the same bed.
upon the under side of the trans
verse looplike body band are band
slldes on which slide loops, to each OF
| which is attached u double shoulder
| strap, adapted to fit comfortably
| over the shoulders of a child or other
person, and partly made up OF elastic
webbing"
Fashionable Precious Stones.
Two varieties of precious stones
have grown rapidly more precious
within the last few months. One is
the divine, a green chrysudolite,
much in vogue for the formation of
lizard, scorpion and bug brooches in
general. Though the value OF each
stone is comparatively small, it is
double what it was year ago, and as
it is often as beautiful in color as an
emerald, is bound to still increase.
The turquoise, on the other hand,
was not cheap a year ago, and is get
ting to set an enormous price upon it.
self. Mrs. Langtry's famous fetish
would probably fetch a thousand dol
lars more in the American market to-
| day than it would have done. had she
| offered it for sale the day she became
angry and sailed for the paradoxical
country that she thinks is without a
peer and yet is full of peers. The most
ordinary little turquoise that you
would pop into the head of a silver
snake ring costs the manufacturing
leweler $l2 to SIS. While, as for a
fawless one, the size OF a good fat
grain Of rice, it can value itself at any
amount from $50 to $lOO, according

George Gould's Domestic Wife.
Mrs. George J. Gould, who was a
Miss Edith Kingdom, is a famous
young housekeeper, says The Ladies
Home Journal. She cares nothingf for
society-none of the Goulds do, no
matter what is said to the contrary
but devotes all her time to her hus-
band, her children and her home.
She does all her own marketing,
knows how to select a good joint,
and, better still, knows how to cook
it. Mrs. Gould is the wife OF the
Prospectively richest man in America.
She has millions at her command,
yet she does not squander penny.
Her husband gives her a fixed income
for household expences, and liberal
allowance each year for clothing. She
keeps a little book in which is set
down the sums OF money she receives
and spends; and once each month she
balances it, pays all bills, and begins
a new account. She purchases every
piece Of clothing worn by her children,
and often makes a special article OF
wear TOR them herself. Mrs. Gould is
a firm believer that all wives should
have a fixed allowance from their
husbands for household and clothing
expenses. It may be much or little,
just as the husband can afford.
