WHEN MEN WORE LACE.
That ssHappy Period" Was the Famous
Nt Res k0ra tSou Ern.

That "Happy PERIOD was the Famous
Restoration Era.
The restoration era being essentially
the age of 'the dangling knee fringe
and the bib cravat," IL was only natur-
al that the stiff band and falling collar,
which had been worn under the tyran-
ny of Puritan ascendancy, should have
given place to neckcloths or cravats OF
Brussels or Flanders lace, tiedwith rib
bons beneath the chin and with the
ends hanging down square In this
age of Puritan sobriety in dress it is
I difficult to comprehend the mania which
seized the breasts of fine gentlemen OF
the Caroline age for lace.
We find Pepys in 1862 putting on his
''new lace band" and recording in his
''Diary" his complete satisfaction with
his appearance in it. So neat it is"
wrote he, ''that am resolved my great
expenses shall be lace bands, and it will
set off anything else the more" Charles
II. in the last year of his reign actually
expended $40 12s for a new cravat to be
worn on the birthday of his dear
BROTHER" and james III. expended al
most as much as $50 upon cravat of
w
the anniversary of the birthday of his
consort
King William ILL.,, notwithstanding
his iron, phlegmatic constitution, en-
tertained genuine Dutch taste for
lace, so much SO, indeed, that his bills
for that article in 1896 amounted to the
modest sum of e2, $50 19s. fad which
would have served admirably to point
the moral of the political reformer or
to adorn the tale of the mob dema-
gogue, had such people then existed.
Among the more astounding items of
this bill appears the following: ''One
hundred and seventeen yards of 'scissae
tam@,' cut work for trimming twelve
sevcnty-eight yards for twcnty-fcur
cravats, at IS los, g663" The expendi-
ture for six new lace razor cloths
amounted to e27o, and on twenty -four

not quite reach, her husband in lace eK-
penditure, seeing that ia 1894 her lace
bill attained the respectable total Of
e1,91s. II will not surprise any one to
learn that lace had one OF its sunniest
epoehs in the eyes of all from the resto-
ration to the revolution. From the
King to the plebeian all retained deep
seated affection for It. These were tho
days when all young military men wore
lace and prepared their eravats with
far greater pains than the three Rraces

HOW TO CARE FOR THE HANDS.
Gloves Worn at Night Not SO Beneficial as
Generally supposed.

Gloves Worn at Night Not SO Beneficial as
Generally supposed.
Those who long for smooth, soft
white hands are, often advised to wear
gloves at night, and many % woman
who are careless about glowing their
hands for street wear will be elabor'
ately cautious about the same cere.
mony just before she goes to bed. Now.
that is as it may be; the discussion OF
how, when. where and what kind OF
is about doctor-a man who an.
nounces that this practice, which we
women believe to be So beneficial, is
otherwise. He says it fades the hands,
giving them dead look. He further
says wear gloves on the strect--ihat is,
wear them on the hands on the street
but never in bed. Wash anil wipe the
hands before putting on the gloves. and
when you take the gloves off turn them
inside out and let them air. While out
in the sun, wind or rain wear gloves,
but not while sleeping. <
Now, all girls are not the happy pos
SCISSORS of soft white hands, but. on the
contrary. some have brown harfds-
shapely, perhaps-but not of that ez-
ceeding fairness so much coveted.
Neither do lemon juice. gloves,
nor oatmeal seem to help the
matter much. But the b.own-
handed girl can wear. as no one
else can wear, the quaint stones quAiy't-
ly set, and the dark canoes deeply i'm
bedded in gold 1t is true that the or
dinary rings in the ordinary settings =
emeralds, turquoises. pearls and So on
do show to better advantage on white
fingers, but the curious silver rings so
dear to the stylish hearts never show
off so well as when on slender, brown
fingers.
Have neat-looking, smooth hand~ A
lemon, some oatmeal. palin-,,il soap and
tepid water. and a few ounces of gi yc-
crime, will be all-sufficient to accom-
plish the desired result After the
hands are washed clean in the water. to
which has been added a tablespoonful
of oatmeal and teaspoonful of glycer-
inc, and the palm-oil soap freely used,
rub over the wet hands, the lemon juice:
apply it especially well about the nails.
for it hardens the skin and prevents
the formation Of hang nails. II the
hands are rough and scaly or bleed. be-
fore beginning this treatment freely

a mixture of glycerine and compound
tincture of benzoin Zone ounce of the
benzoin to four of tho glycerine) until
all soreness and rawness have been re-

A SHIPS HISTORY.
WANT The NOTED FRIGATE, PRESIDENT, Al
THE WORLDS FAIR.
Cap.ursd BY the British in 1915 and Now Used by
Them-h Will Probably be Found Imprac-
teal 10 Bring Her Across
the Atlantic.

New YORK, January 1.-The propo-
sit.on 10 have the old ship President,
which was captured fiom the United
States by the British in the war Of 1912,
transferred 10 Chicago for the Column
bian exhibition, is very generally APP
proved by the officers OF the Navy so far
as its sentiment goes, but the idea Is
hardly practical. The old ship now lies
in the West India dock near London,
and although she makes an excellent
ship for the nominal headquarters Of
British naval officers who are assigned
To duty in London, and an excellent drill
ship as well, she is totally unable, be-
cause OF her advanced age, TO cross the
Atlantic. IL has been urged that the
President could be boxed by some means
not vet described, and sent across in
something like the way the Central
Park obelisk was shipped from Egypt,
but this done, she is far too large to be
sent through the Welland Canal, so,
then, on the whole the scheme, although
a graceful and becoming one, is thought
to be impracticable.
The idea, in a general way, meets
with the approval Of British officers,
who see in il a fitting opportunity TO
recognize the generous conduct or the
Americans in returning to the English
government the Resolute, which was
recovered by the American officers after
England had lost her in the Arctic.
But the obstacles mentioned are re-
garded as well nigh insuperable, so 1t is
probable that the nameSake OF this one
of Americas most famous ships OF war
will remain where she now lies.
SHE MADE HISTORY.
The old ship President had history
second 10 none IN her days. Even the
Con stitution cannot lay claim to as
MANY captures as those made by the
President In the war OF 1912, until
her capture in 1915, she went every
where and performed feats OF the most
extraordinary valor. There was lots OF
fighting then, and the President, with
her fOrty-fOur guns and 400 men, was
the terror Of the seas.
The old frigate was built in this city
in 800 at the cost OF S22O,0l0 Her
tonnage was 1876. From the day she
went into commission until that I'M
fortunate battle of January 10, 1915,
when a whole British squadron forced
her to lower her colors right off the
scene of her launching, the President
was engaged in active service. Com
modore Stephen Decatur was In COM
mand when the ship was captured.
She had been cruising upward from the
BermudaS when the British squadron
sighted and bore down upon him.
There was running hght OF
six hours, during which her
Britannia Majesty'S ship Endymion,
forty-gun craft, was obliged
70 drop out Of action. The gallant De-
