SEEK INDIVIDUALITY
Distinctive and Original Dress
More Successful Than Mere
Fashion.

The province of the fashion writer,
thinks the New York Sun, is to suggest
every phase Of mode as quickly as it ap-
pears; to sound the note of warning
when the passing of dress phase is immi-
nent; to study the evolution and history
of fashion, and prophesy and warn; to
reproduce the successes of n woman
for the inspiration of all women.
The first great mistake made by the
average woman is that in this one thing
she eliminates the personal equation too
decidedly. She copies a gown drawn in
a cut or worn by a shapely woman. AS
it comes home fresh from the dress
makers hands, with all its faultless APP
purtenances complete, it is divine. But
"Oh, what a difference In the morningv'
when she puts it on herself. One easy
way of acquiring distinction in dress, if
this grace be not among your natural
endowments, is to wear some n dis
tinctive color or style.
One woman the New York Suns
fashion writer knows always years a
rose in her hat, just one big loose pet

Immense deportation.
We should be sorry to be obliged
to compute exactly the number of
bottles of Johann Hof's Malt Ex-
tract which have been sold since
its first appearance in 1847. Aeon
signmentof rs, 700 bottles is a mat
ter of very small significance. This
is usually the number in a single
expectation to foreign countries.
If there be one thing more than
another that has been pleasing to
the discoveries of this worldwide
remedy, it is that Johann Hoh's
Malt Extract is recognized by the
entire faculty Of the United
States as a bona fde tonic and
nutrient-a compliment accorded
to no other extract. While others
have been weighed in the bal
ance and found wanting" Jo-
ham Hof's Extract has stood
the test of over forty years, and
is the standard tonic nutritive of
to-day. Beware of limitations.
The genuine has the signature of
Johann Hofs on the neck of
every bottle. Eisner & Mendcl-
son Go, sole agents, New York.

yers for the defense have brought out an
entirely new claimant, or rather a claimant
so old that he had been forgotten. His
name is Henry Goebel; he is "a years old;
| he is a native of Hanover, Germany, and he
is O pauperl That is what it amounts to,
for be is an inmate of the German Masonic
home in Tappan, n. Y, and has been for
two years.
His history is a romance in applied
science. In boyhood he was apprenticed
to the wat Makers trade and for many
| years worked only enough to secure a
meager support and devoted all the rest of
his time to experimenting. He invented
an entirely new set of tools in his trade
and many other improvements, but was SO
ignorant of or Indifferent to business that
he patented none of them. The troubles of
| 1913 drove him to the United States, where
he begun to experiment In electricity and
soon had an arc light in operation on top of
his house. He insists that the fire depart
ment was called out. OF his i~ncandescent
lamp he says:

in winter they are heavy with fur and
plumes, but the rose mods contentedly

If a woman would dress well, let her
learn by dressing. And for experiment.
ing this is a most excellent season, when
the shops are crowded with bargains and
ones old gowns are being ripped and re-
modelled.
If the dress is not particularly nice,
put full founces about the bottom to give
it an approach to the fashionable fare.
If the material is handsome, cut one-half
a yard off the top Of the skirt. Then use
some prettily contrasting material for
the bottom of the skirt, as in the first
illustration, where a gown Of striped
satin in a flower pattern is made up with
the lower part of the skirt in mirror vel
vet shadowing on a soft ground all the
tints in the pattern Of the satin. Oddly
enough, this quaint old gown has chem
isette and sleeves of dotted silk muslin
gathered modestly about the shoulders.
The revers are Of velvet, the border and
band of trimming all of fur. However,
a last years china silk might be easily
pieced out in this way by using a pl
silk the color of thesfowers and a plaiteu
satin ribbon ruche for q trimming.
An excellent model for the bargain
lengths we buy in the stores now at
such reduced rates, and which, alas!
shrink SO alarmingly when we try to cut
out the gowns at home, is the second cut,
which shows q full skirt of one of the
beautiful woods as soft and fine and rich

round with three bands of the silky,

The fact is just the reverse. Snow
shoes or as they are called the ski"
used in Sweden and Norway, are long,
narrow strips Of wood from three to
four inches in breadth and eight to
twelve feet long, sometimes even long
err. They ought to be one inch in thick
ness at the center under the foot and
gradually beveled off to about quar-
ter of an inch at either end In front
they are curved upward and pointed
and they are often little turned up at
the back end too. About the center of
the 'ski" is loop for the toe made of
leather or other suitable substance, and
band which passes from this around
behind the heel of the shoe. The OBJ
ject of this fastening is to make the
ski and the foot as rigid as possible
for steering purposes, while the heel is
always to rise freely from the "ski' at
all times.
There is no reason why any Ameri-
can boy should not be able to make
himself pair Of first-class 'ski." The
material used is Scotch fir, birch as
well as elm, ash, oak, aspen and
maple.
DR.. hansen, the arctic explorer, is
very skillful ''ski'' runner and an en-
thusiast for this kind of sport. "Of
