above to form a full ruching when they
are drawn together. II is therefore In
the choice of material and manner Of
decorating them that taste and ingenuity
can chiefly be displayed, The Ladies

be borne in mind that a bag thus carried

which are most conveniently carried

The design here given in simple in
character. but most effective, while very
refined in style, if carried out in suitable
coloring. 1t looks particularly well
when intended to be used with a black
costume to execute the design in two

Care Of the Hands.

Here is sure cure for rough. red, hard
hands. II comes from a woman who
spent last summer at Warrenpoint, a fa-
NOUS watering place 30 miles from Bel
fast:
"During the season Irish girls leave
their chickens and cows and come to
Warrenpoint to mind children for the
guests. They are big. strong. merry
hearted creatures, green as the country
grows. with pink and cream complex
ions and the most beautiful hands i'm
agipable. couldn't account for them
because they were frequently misshapen
and disGgured 10y ugly, often clawlike
nails. The texture was superb. and
made up my mind to get at the secret.
Here it Is; In every farmyard there
are two bins-one containing bran for
the cattle and the other oatmeal for the
chickens. When the girls 20 TO milk.
they wash their hands at the pump and
dry them in the chicken feed. The re-
suit Is superb hands--smooth, soft and
white. When l left the village. took
away as much Irish meal as could carry.
Now buy tho stuff in the feed store.
and ! use it. keep II In bowl In the
bathroom. Iwash my bony hands with
CASTLE soap and pinch Of meal, mop
them with towel and dry them In the
bowl. Ny hands are not soft-bones
never are-but look at theml"
They were beautiful-smooth. warm,
fins slinned and as white as bread.

A Splendid Deodorixer.

One Of the simplest disinfectants of
the sickroom is ground coffee burned on
q shovel, 80 as to fill the atmosphere OF
the room with it's pungent aromatic
odor. If two redhot Goals are placed on
q fire shovel, and teaspoonful of ground
coffee is sprinkled over them at a time,
using three teaspoonfuls in all. it will fill
the room with it's aroma and is said to
have the hygienic effect Of preventing
the spread of various epidemic diseases.
The odor is very agreeable and soothing
to sick person, where other disinfect-
ants prove disagreeable. Physicians who
doubt the power of coffee as q disinfect-
ant frequently recommend 1t as q de-
odorizer, and it is certainly one OF the
very best and most agreeable.

bon in the three tints of the gown-first
the bronze, then the rose, and over these,
almost covering them. is the frill OF
green. The waist is of green satin. with
a peculiar arrangement of the goods
draping from the shoulder to the belt,
and bold epaulets of the green not ruff
fed, but cut with a great flare cap, and
the full mutton leg sleeve. which finishes
at the wrist with a broad cuff of satin.
A little gimp combining the colors of
the gown edges the folds OF the waist
and drapes across the bust. The collar
and belt are Of satin.
Another very simple gown is OF a ten
der shade of gray green, suggestive OF the
tints in a coast landscape. The skirt is
trimmed in a quaint old fashion with
rows on rows of narrow fringe of the
same color scarcely half yard in width
and put on in vandykes several rows in
a group and covering the skirt nearly to
the top. The waist is of satin, with mar
row pelerine of the cloth edged with
fringe, but the tint of the satin is deeper
and more shadowy than the gown be-
cause it is shot with lines of color, rose
and blue and pale yellow. These lines are
30 mixed in together that the individual
effect of each is lost in sheen of softly
iridescent color.
Palmer and smarter than either OF
these gowns is dress that promises to
do duty at the fair. 1t is of the new
hopsacking. whose name 80 aptly de-
scribes the peculiar canvaslike material,
with its uneven threads. Very light and
cool is this fabric and particularly suited
to summer wear. Three black satin
folds, with passementeries of black cord
above like braiding. trim the skirt The
waist has three black satin capes cross
ing the shoulders, to be lost under revers
of the satin. and in the space between Is
a vest of clear yellow cloth braided with
black. The waist is Joined to the skirt
with cord of black satin.

can drink lemonade. When tart. 1t Is
prime. Eat fruit after every meal. Ba-

Strawberries are excellent for the CON-

4 Publishers Rejection OF Manu-
script Often the Exact Opposite.

If Il MAJ wanted to be cynical he
might easily be led to the statement
that to have Il manuscript refused by
Il publisher is becoming to be a sure
indication that it has merit And ac-
cording to the Fl ;ladclphia Times lat
tc1-day cXpcrcn rs would, in meas
ure, give color to such Il belief. The
author of THE Heavenly Twins" is
the latest author to acknowledge that
her book was refused by every pub
fishing house of in portarce in London.
She sent it from one to another until
the manuscript became so soilcd that
she was compelled to reco2y it. Only
last winter was she able to find pub
Usher daring enough to issue it. Now
that the book has sold over 10000
copies ill the publishers are bidding
for Nine. Grand's next novel Rud-
yard Kipling recently told the same
story Of his SOLDIERS Three" which
no publisher would undertake. Five
publishing houses turned Conan Doyle
away with his Micah Clarke" although
now one Of those Self-same publishers
pays Doyle the highest copyrights on
his books. Clark. Russell recently said
in print, too, that he could not induce
either an editor or publisher to look
at his Wreck Of the Grosvenor," which
made his fame six months after it was
published. Rider Haggard's Dawn
also went the rounds Of the publishing
world. Robert Louis Stevenson could
not get a hearing at first, and now
wreaks his vengeance on the three
houses which refused him by never
allowing them to have a book by him
on their lists. Walt Whitman told me
of the refusals of his Leaves Of Grass"
by the publishers. Prof. John Bach
McAIaster's History" was refused by
three New York houses. Mrs. Stan.
nard's Boobies Baby" Endorsed even
by John Ruskin, was rejected by six
editors. Richard Harding Davis short
stories were sent back by three newspa-
per editors. Justin Mccarthy printed
his first book himself because no pub
Usher would do it for him. And so it
goes, and one might prolong the list
with similar instances Of Longfellow
and Browning, who both printed their
first books Of verse; Of Mr. Howells,
Of Austey's "Vica Versa" Of Jerome X.
Jerome, whose idle Thoughts was
pronounced rubbish" by leading En-
glish publisher, although 125, 1000 copies
of it have now been sold.
