Clouds Have Solid Globules of Water.

M. Van de- Mensbrugghe, member OF
the Academic des Sciences, Brussels has
been investigating the true nature of
clouds. 1t is supposed that clouds are an
assemblage of little hollow vesicles, or of
little full globules of water, but there is a
doubt as to which, and NJ. Van der Mems
brugghe is in favor of the latter hypoth-
esis. Ii the globules are very small, they
float in the air, but if relatively large they
fall, and in traversing warmer layers of
the atmosphere are evaporated to smaller
size until they are able to float at lower
level 1t is, in fact, unnecessary to sup
pose their interior to be filled with air.

Harmony In Furniture,

ionable or pretty in itself, without q
thought Of how 1t is going to harmonic
with its old fashioned relatives. In add
ing to partly furnished rooms, unless q

colors in her eye" it is often hardly safe
to buy a rug until it has been tried in the
room where it Is to go, while in buying
draperles, furniture coverings, etc., a SAM
pie Is generally safest, though 1t may
make more shopping necessary. In select
ing colors for such rooms avoid contrasts
that are striking and select those that are

Fashions That Didn't Fit.

Some years ago the empress Of Japan,
who Is a very charming person without
being extremely good looking, was seized
with desire to introduce European fash

Berlin. This was very unfortunate, as the
dresses, while material and cost were all
that could be desired, totally lacked that
undelnable something called chic, style
or whatever you please. The empress
struggled heroically in her resolution to
think the imported denominations beautl-
ful and becoming, and the ladies Of the
court had, of course, to take their cue
from her. The result was that former

Protty Verpus sensible Boots.

Girls learn at an early age to prefer
"pretty" boots to sensible ones, and it lS
the duty Of every mother who values the
real beauty Of her children g feet to restrain
this tendency toward pointed toes, narrow
lasts and high heels. Until girl reaches
tho age Of 10 she should wear spring heeled
boots, and between that age and the time
when she becomes her own mistress In
dressing she should wear low heels. If she
cares to deform herself, then that is mat
ter which concerns only herself.
Growing ankles need the support Of
high shoes. Low shoes and slippers should
therefore be tabooed. Lace boots are bet
ter than buttoned ones because they exert
a more even pressure on the ankles Soles
should be quite thick, and the projecting
variety Is better than the other because Of
the additional support 1t gives. Soft leath-
or, hand seWed, should be used, as ma
chine seams are apt TO press unpleasantly
on tender young flesh.
Round garters should never be placed on
growing limbs. The pressure and retard-
ing of the circulation are injurious.
Scanned stockings are also injurious. Ev-
erything for young feet should be as soft
as is compatible with Warmth.-Shoe and
