GirIs and Low.Cut Gowns.

The question of when to wear low-cut
gowns can have but one answer, "Neyer
in the daylight, :" writes Mrs. Burton
Harrison in the LADIES' Home Journal.
The rule that obtains for the assumption
OF mems evening dress from dusk to
iiawn"-is adjustable to both. For every
junction OF society held from midday to a
late dinner hour a girls dress should be
worn higi, with long sleeves. Ii on any
gala occasion it be desirable to relax the
stringency OF this ordinance, it should be
only to cut the dress open little below
the throat and to wear elbow sleeves, q
pretty girlish fashion, in which her
youthful beauty loses naught. A few
years ago the experiment was made OF
hostesses receiving at large afternoon teas
in low-cut dresses, but the contrast be-
tween them and their guests IN every va
mety of outdoor garb, including tailor
made gowns, soon brought the fashion to
an end. At dinners, evening parties and
balls it is SO universal modern custom to
equip young girls in decollete gowns that
there can only be the question OF individ-
ual Judgment in the matter to combat it.
The cut of such dresses is, however, al
ways modest.

economy. Almost anything that hangs
to hall length from yoke may be called a
tea Jacket and our illustration shows a
charming jacket after this manner.
Another type is made upof a silk waist;
a sleeveless jacket OF velvet over it; a lace
fiounce side plated on at the belt line; a
velvet belt and lace ruffies overlapping
down the front. The neck band
is of the velvet fastened behind
with a rosette, and the sleeves
are what you will say silk puff to the
elbow covered with overlapping lace
ruffles, the first one plated in at the
arm-hole. The jacket may be richened
with a passementerie OF colored beads.
A suggestion in color for this CONNECTION
is rose silk, cream lace and green velvet,
the velvet to have jeweled trimming Of
rose color and emerald.
Simple, loose hanging blouses, if of
rich material, are always elegant for
demi-neglige. l have seen one of scarlet
silk checked with black velvet, that was
worn with a black silk, or it might have
been a cashmere skirt, and was very effec-
tive. Such a garment can be easily made
by anybody and it needs no trimming.
It's character is dependent on its SIM
plicIty. ADA BACHE-C CONE.

Dad From Fright.

ST have interested myself somewhat in
looking up unusual causes ofdeath, - said
DR.. Elder, "and have met several well au-
thenticated instances where fright was the
cause. The English surgeon general
Francis, tells of q drummer in India
across whose legs a harmless lizard
crawled while he was half asleep. He was
sure that cobra had bitten him, and it
was too much for his nerves and he died.
Frederick l. of Prussia, was killed by fear.
His wife was insane, and one day she es-
caDed from her keepers, and, daboling
husband while he was doing in mis- chair.
King Frederick imagined her to be the
white lady, whose ghost was believed to
invariably appear whenever the death of q
member of the royal family was to occur.
and he was thrown into fever and died
in six weeks. But perhaps the most re-
markable death from fear was that of the
Dutch painter, Pentman, who lived in
the seventeenth century. One day he
went into room full OF anatomical sub
iects to sketch some DEATHS heads and
skeletons for a picture he intended to
paint The weather was very Sultry, and
while sketching he fell asleep. He was
aroused by bones dancing around him and
the skeletons suspended from the ceiling
clasning together. In a fit of terror he
threw himself from the window, and.
though he sustained no serious injury.
and was informed thata slight earthquake
had caused the commotion among his
ghostly surroundings, he died in few
DAVIS in a nervous tremor. / could cite
many other cases where the shock to the
nervous system which we know as fright
has produced death. y Washington Post.

Don't you worry about the little
woman! Just analyze her bit before
you waste any great amount of sympathy
upon her. That baby mouth wasn't made
in vain. Ever see one of these little
women stand up in street car, or carry
her own parcels home, or get in or out OF
a carriage without having half dozen
men run to assist her? And all just be-
cause she is little woman, and has that
helpless, imploring look, as if she couldn't
stand the least bit of trouble in the world.
And every man feela sorry for her, and is
ready to extend his sympathy and assist
ance. I've watched her-I've made a
study of her tricks and her ways. She
lust locks at man out of those appealing
eyes, and he would walk over redhot
plowshares to assist her. When l am

On reading DR.. James Cummings ad-
dress at an annual meeting of the British
Medical Association, now being held at
Nottingham, says writer in Public Opin-
ION, noted one particular part in which
he advances the theory held by Herbert
Spencer, that the quickening of the cir
culation in the brain causes rush of un-
usually vivid ideas, and makes the mem
DRY more distinct than usual. As prac-
teal illustration of this fact may men
ton story which / have often heard nv
father relate.
when serving as an army doctor on the
west coast of Africa, some thirty years
ago, he was ordered 20 a station named
McCarthy's island, on the river Gambia,
about 200 miles inland. The only white
men IN the place were Captain K and Dr.
F.. the rest OF the small population being
composed of the black inhabitants and a
body of native soldiers. My fathers IA
vorlte-indeed his oniy-amusement by
world forgotten spot was reading.
Toward the end OF the first few weeks
he was interesting himself very much in
AlIisOn's History OF Europe" and
while reading it was struch down with
remittent fever. During his illness he
was nursed by Captain K. and DR.. F.
The attack was a severe one, but when he
was fairly convalesent Captain Z. told
him that one night, when the deIirium
was at its height, he heard him make an
extraordinarily powerful and eloquent
speech OF some considerable length, in
perfectly connected and concise manner.
On hearing this my father asked him if he
would recognize the speech on hearing it
again; he answered; certainly he would,
as it had made a great impression on him.
Among some books on a table at the
bedside was Allison's History Of
Europe which my father took uD, and,
opening it, began to read the chapter on
which he was occupied when the fever
overlook him. Captain K and the doctor
at once recognized it, and stated that, as
far as their memories would serve them,
not one single word of the many pages
which the speech occupied was omitted
during its repetition by my father in his
deliium. thought this fact would per-
haps interest some Of your readers, as it
bears so directly upon the remark made
by DR.. Cunning in his address on the 9th
OF last month.

full plisses of the gauze. Three or four
plisses are sometimes used, but if It is a
question of the economy of time two are
sufficient and pretty.

gowns, magenta, dark reds and grey

these is simple; two or three plaits at the
neck, back and front, and the fuilness
combined at the waist by cord and tassels

These are convenient; are more easily put
