During the war great number OF
women inventors came forward with
many designs in canteens, military
caps, ambulances and all kinds OF
hospital appliances. Prior to the
war the number OF women applicants
for patents was small. Only three
patents to women were issued in 1850;
in 1860 there were only four, in 1870
there were sixty, in 1880, ninety. In
1887 the number rose to 1877 and has
been increasing steadily ever since.

Airs Almost identical Doing Service IL
Very Different Capacities.
There are many songs which were
composed in the time of Charles II.
whose music is in vogue to-day whose
words were of the most UNANIMOUSLY
indecent description originally, says
the Boston Musical Herald. Henry
Purcell. to the shame of that epoch
be it said, brought forth many of these.
But since even Shakespeare at times
descended to the level of his age we
need not too bitterly blame the musical
genius Cthe greatest that England ever
produced) for trying to earn an oc-
casional shilling by turning out such
wicked musical compositions Some
of the early English ballads tell of
times OF persecution, of bigotry and
of intolerance. Naturally these music
al works have undergone transforma-
tion in modern times; but one. The
Jews Daughter has remained intact.
and tells of the murder of Hugh of
Lincoln, which took place A. d. 1855.
and was charged upon the Jews Of
Lincoln, of whom over 200 were
brought to London and tried with tor
ture, for a mythical crucitixion of the
unfortunate lad.
The tale of ancient jealousy has
come down TO our times in the song
%. Wally Wally Up the Bank,
which refers to the separation of Lord
Jamie Douglas from his wife. The
original tale reads much like the plot
OF Shakespeare's "Othello." for there
was an Iago in the shape of a certain
Lowrie of Blackwood. secretary to
Douglas. and in default of the fatal
handkerchief which plays so important
part in the Shakespearean tragedy
this wicked man placed q pair of boots
in such wise that the jealousy of the
marquis was aroused, and pathetic
separation followed, of which few who
sing the song know anything.
Some of the odd transformations of
songs are due to what must originally
have been something very like theft

New Silks for Summer Gowns.

Changeable twilled silks more finely
twilled than surahs, with designs of
dots, stripes, waving ribbons, and
baskets OF flowers, in ecruor white,
promise to rival the smoothly woven
India silks as summer dresses. They
are made into charming dresses by
Paris modistes, who delight in color
this season, and add silk OF a bright
contrasting hue for their trimming.
Thus a green and red changeable silk
etrewn with ecru baskets of flowers is
trimmed with pale blue surah facings,
and has collar, plastron, and point
ed belt of Louis Seize embroidery of
rose-buds and gold done on pale blue
cloth. The seamless bodice with coat
skirts is favorite model. The fronts
gathered on the shoulders cross dia-
gonally to lap under the blue belt and
the changeable silk laid over pale blue
surah, each frill cut with selvage
finish The wide back is shirred
at the waist line. The coat skirts are
three loops, ten inches deep when
doubled, OF the material showing fac
ings of pale blue. They are slightly
full, and are gathered to the bodice
back OF the pointed belt under Il twist
or scarf of the twilled silk. The muo-
ton leg sleeves are very long and
without trimming The skirt OF five
breadths has the front breadth
turned under at the foot, and faced
with blue to match the coat skirts,
then falling open on each side on a
founce OF pale blue silk. This design
lsnot confirmed to changeabe silks,
but is beautifully carried out in foul
ards, as one with gray ground strewn
with large white leaves, made up with
a collar and belt OF gold embroidery,
and facings of yellow India silk in the
frill and coat skirts.
Chameleon silks, as the changeable
silks are called, are imported in glossy
tatfeta with tiny dots and figures, to
be used for sleeves, vests, and tlounces
OF wool dresses, and also in heavier
faille, with chine flowers and ribbon
stripes for entire gown. Alovely house
dress of yellow silk shading to pink
has chine bouquets of violets, roses,
and carnations. 1t is made all in one
piece, the skirt sewed to the round
waist, which fastens invisibly in the
back under a plastron OF olive green
velvet that extends the length OF the
bodice in front also. The silk is pleat
ed full on the high shoulders, and
drawn without darts next the velvet
pieces. A single under-arm form is on
the side. A standing frill OF velvet
edges the low rounded throat. Sleeves
full to the elbow have a gathered frill
below. The skirt OF six breadths has
three breadths for the front and sides,
extending around to meet at the back,
where three other demi-trained
breadths are massed in pleats in
scarcely an inch of space at the waist,
and spread out widely below. White
embroidery in uptluned points is set
at the foot OF the skirt.

Fashions FancieS.

Cloth-like fabrics are very popular
this season
The Louis Quinze coat basqueis one
OF the leading styles for house and
street wear,
Effective trimmings for an evening
dress are the ieweed buttehes that
are sold in sets, to be used for the
hair, shoulders, front of corsage, and
amid the drapery OF the skirt.
Gilt and black passementeries and
gimps are used for new costumes,
while gilt frog ornaments are used on
the front of basques and there are
fat, open-interlace insertions OF gilt,
and also gilt cord OF twisted strands,
that are used on the edge OF seams
and basQues.
Green is the favorte color for fancy
articles, and pretty little purses for
young ladies are OF green leather,
ornamented with a silver monogram.
Silk is more used than it has been
for many seasons, and panels, waist
coats, and sleeves OF silk in most of
the wooden stuffs are now seen.
Bengaline is the particular choice
OF the season, both plain and figured,
because it is soft in drapery, lustrous,
rich looking, and not expensive.
Light shades prevail for wooden
materials. while cheviot, diagonal and
serge willie be employed for travelling
and street gowns.
The hair band, or small coronet, has
been received for hair dressing, and it
is set with jewels, just like the old
fashioned article, and is equally secom-
ing with high or low coitfures.
A new Partisan fancy is to have
small jewels sewed upon the material
of the dress, and in some cases even
knitted into the stockings.
Yellow is the favorite color of the
season for dressy toilets, and for the
decoration of palmer gowns, while
white strewn with tiny sprays OF pink
roses and forget-me- nots is most ef-
fective combination for wastcoats.
Women as Inventors.
Statistics which has been prepared
at New York for the approaching
centennial anniversary Of the Patent
Office prove that inventive genius has
no sex. 1t will be encouraging to
female wage-workers to learn that
women inventors have made record
in the Patent Office of which they may
well be proud. Application for patents
of their own invention have been
made by over 5000 women since the
Patent Office was organized. These
inventions, while covering a wide held
of articles for women's use, include
such unexpected inventions as SUBJ
marine telescopes, processes for hard
ening copper, foot stoves, refrigera-
tors, and even locomotive driving
wheels. As early as 1890 Il patent
was granted to Mary Kies, OF Con-
necticut, for an improved method OF
straw weaving with silk or thread.

To eXtcrminate carpet moths:
Saturate u large cloth with water
strongly impregnated with ammonia.
After wrinsing it as dry as possible,
spread upon the carpet, and iron until
thoroughly dry. 1t is not advisable
to press hard as that flattens the nap
Of the carpet. Go over the entire
carpet in this manner. The hot
steam not only kills the little pests
and destroys their eggs, but with the
addition OF the ammonia freshens and
brightens the carpet also.
To avoid carpet moths: Ii you find
no appearance OF moths in your carpets,
use an "ounce OF prevention. In
other words. after your carpet has
been laid sponge thoroughly in a
strong solution OF salt and water. 1t
is well, also, to sprinkle salt under
Meath the carpet, in dark corners,
under bookcases, couches, etc, where
the carpet is least used. Above all,
keep your rooms sufficiently light, re-
membering that moths should be
numbered among those wicked
creatures who ''prefer darkness rather
than light, because their deeds are
evil. "-Good Housekeeping.
