There seems to be an orderly in
stinct in roots that cannot be accounted
for. When the seed sprouts and the
stem starts upward to make the trunk,
one bud pushes down into the earth to
form top root. What it is that gives
the order for one to push up and one to
push down is incomprehensible. But,
more than this, while the top root is de-
scending deep into the ground, as if to
anchor the tree securely against wind
and storm, other roots start to grow hori-
zontally just beneath the surface of the
ground. These surface roots are at first
but mere fbers. When the autumn ar
riyes, and the leaves fall, most Of these
fibers die also, leaving only a few to live
over, and these become permanent sur
face roots.
We know why some live to become
permanent roots, as against the thou
sands which die. We say they are gifted
with greater vital power. They were
able to get more nutrition than the 9TH
ers, and nutrition to some extent means
vigorous hfe-but in what way this or
dering Of some roots to go down as an

held the little timekeeper before the astonished
reporter. This is the smallest watch in the

fve-cent silver piece over the DIAL which COM

history very much out of proportion with its
size. 1t has been carried by some famous men
in its time and is now owned by Frank Gerhart,
a real estate dealer. The watch was made in
Geneva for Patti the famous singer at cost of
1000 francs, and was presented by her to Mrs.
Gen. Tom Thumb, the noted midget The

Mr.. Zerweck held up a miniature case studded
with diamonds, and made the plain case you
now see 1t in, as Mr.. Gerhart wishes to wear it
az a charm and is afraid of an accident to the
original case. Mr.. Gerhart bought the watch
in pawn shop in Chicago. How it came into
the pawnbroker's possession is a point in the
history OF the watch that is u little obscure and
is likely to remain So"

ern costume. The actress wishes first of all
to be beautiful and attractive. Therefore she
is not the slave of fantasy. The gown is made
for her to bring out all her grace and beauty"
This is only what we Americans have known
all along, but we will sacrifice our best beauty
to the modes, because we do not make them, 1
suppose. We will plunge into an 1880 gown
and wear it bravely over large hips and, alas
not over rounded neck, or wear ruffies galore
on skirt and shoulders if we are short and
plump.
There is no manner of doubt that the 1880
gown is peculiarly trying There is little
softness about its finish on the bodice. while
its round full skirt accents hip development
A young and slender girl. or a woman who
has carefully strengthened her tissues by
massage, are perhaps the two types which
can best wear the 1880 costumes. The ac-
companying cut shows a new and novel ar
rangement. The gown is Of rose bengaline,
fitted without seams closely to the figures.
Revers of rose velvet are folded back tightly
shoulders. The revers are edged with point
de Venice. A chemisette, cut round and
low and meeting the revers at the shoulder.
is magn'ticently embroidered with long ropes
Of pearl.
The skirt gathered to the waist has deep
founce Of lace caught with loops of pearls
around the bottom.
The couture is distinctly quaint. 1t is tiny
opeuwork cap, bordeSed with roses and set
closely upon the parted locks. The hair is
coied highly at the back of the head in fanci-
full knots.

Really, American women. that minority of
them which doesn't labor, seem to the vast
majority Of us who do to be playing little parts
in historical pageant, a series of tableaux
vivants, whose characters were chosen from the
portraits of danes long dead and gone. But it
Is not so. These daughters of the danes long
dead and gone have their gowns straight from
Poncet, Bonnet and Duboys. who, themselves,
have taken their creations from ''old por-
traits" Doubtless they are modernized and
retouched in a manner strange to us before the
couturiere in Now York puts one on madame
with triumphant uplifting of the eyes.
A gown which arrived last week is said to be
the replication of one which may have been
worn by royalist dame when royalist heads
were falling into the basket and the little
Corsican was coming to rule. 1t is of mirror
velvet and heavy sable trimmings. The JACKIE,
short in the back, slopes to long points in
front. 1t is not fitted to the figure, but hangs
loosely. turning into revers faced with ciel blue
faille. broad girdle from waist to bosom Of
the faille, embroidered with gold threads, is
finished with band of sable. The tight sleeves
are capped with detached puffs sable edged.
There is chemisette Of old point de Venice

bunch of tips.

stuff to make little bands for collars and cuffs
and perhaps belt. Now that the elegance Of

With these slipped over the sleeves OF your
white brocade short-waisted bodice and a gold
girdle you make another dress out Of your white
SIX gown Or thus you may make the white
brocade bodice do for two dresses: The one
with a heavy brocade skirt. perhaps beaded
with gold, with which, OF course YOU
would wear the bodice fixed with the
gold sleeves. The other lust q very full

without the gold over the sleeves. You see the
two gowns would be of so different character
that no one would suspect your economy. Be
sides. remember how short a time Compare
lively fashions last, and how little after ali YOU
are able TO show for the amount Of money
spent Common wisdom dictates following the
fashion with as little outlay as possible. Thus
II Is wise now to take up the empire because in
this Held we can use up the materials of our
out-of-fashion dresses. After the wear is had
from those materials 1t will do to take UP crino-
lines. We would by then have to get new stun
anyhow, and at least the crinoline style will
give US p eaty of goods, and, if we are wise and
have learned not to be too proud we will be
well equipped for remodeling for the next
change.
