PRESSING AUTUMN LEAVES.
Care Should he Taken That They Are
Quite Dry.

Dry.
Every third woman you meet now, and
good many Of the men, carry autumn
leaves. The leaves are just. In the height
of their beauty, and are very attractive
They may be made quite decorative If prop
erly treated. Select the leaves carefully,
taking the clusters from tie tip end Of
branches, and see that the branches are not
thick. When you have gathered all you
want of ferns and leaves get, them home as
soon as possible. so that stheW will not have
time to wilt. Get pile Of newspapers, and
do your work on the floor right where you
intend to press them, s0ithaf you will not
have to disturb them for "a week.
Open paper and lay the leaves down,
spreading them out carefullygin a graceful
positions Having filled one page, lay two
or three folds Of paper over IT. and then dis
pose of more leaves in the, same way. You
can make as many layeryas you like. When
you have finished. lay over the whole q
board cover that will hide the whole from
view, and then place aiCheavy weight on
top of that. 1t should be something that
weighs nearly a hundred pounds to hold all
firmly. Arrange the ferns in the same way,
but on different pile Of papers. In the
course OF week or two they will be press
ed and dry, but just as brilliant as when
pulled.
A pretty way to arrange them is to tack
print to the wall, and with pins fasten
the leaves In graceful clusters around 1t.
The ferns are particularly graceful for such
an arrangement. Be sure that they are
quite dry, for they will curl after being put
up If they are not. Autumn leaves will keep
their brilliancy for months IL they are treat
ed to a coating-very thin, Of course-of
white wax before putting them up. You
can press single leaves in books but 1t
would be a sorry sight for a book lover to
see his books ruined that way. The general
choice Is the dictionary. Patent Office re-
ports and government reports in general are
heavy enough for the purpose, but not large
enough to press clusters.

The Stylish Stationery.

FROM the New York Times
Legal blue stationery is much affected by
smart women, that, with pale gray or
cream white, being oftenest seen at their
well-equipped davenports. The correspond
ence card of two or three years ago has
wholly disappeared-why, no one can tell,
as 1t had its uses certainly Tiny sheets
of paper. with envelopes to fit, like that
which supplies the desks of little girls, serve
for short notes; or, ii 1t is only a line
milady would send, she takes one of her
visiting cards, and scrawls 1t on that This
Is occasionally a pitfall to the ignorant
woman. who forgets that the formal Mrs.
or Miss engraved there is not the proper
signature to a message to a friend and
equal. The woman who knows never for
gets to draw a line through the title writ
ing her Christian name In ink there or put
ting her message on the plain side of the
card, and regularly signs her name.
Mourning stationery no longer takes on
inches of black to advertise the woe Of its
sender. A narrow black margin Is con-
sidered sufficient for even first use in
mourning.

Number of Women Doctors.
From the New York Times.

According to recent statistics there are
about 1000 women in this country who are
practicing medicine. OF these only 100 are
homeopathists. Most Of these medical
women are ordinary practitioners; there
are, however, 70 hospital physicians or
surgeons, " professors in the schools. $40
specialists for the diseases of women, 70
alienists, IS orthopedists. 40 ocullsts and
aurists, and finally, 30 electro-therapeutists
There are ten medical schools devoted ex.
clusively to the training Of women.

cially pretty for dressy occasions. On this
collar besides the frill Of lace. is band of
fine lace insertion, to the edge of which the
lace ruffle Is carefully stitched. The yoke
is slightly pulled. with heading of the
lace insertion. The skirt has two clusters
of tucks-two in each-and rather deep
hem. Should a more elaborate effect be de-
sired, insertion may be very effectively
placed between the tucks, or more and finer
tucks be made.

Lack of Appetite and Headaches.

''She never has any appetite for break
fast" Bene's mother went on, land usually
swallows a cup of coffee, and sometimes a
hot roll but oftenest, declares she can't eat
a mouthful, and goes off without any lunch.
If she gets hungry, she buys piece of pie
or a doughnut or two. Then, she either has
no appetite for her dinner, or else eats
ravenously. She complains all the time of
headache, and back ache and side ache-I
declare 1t seems to me that the girls of to-
day are a bundle of aches. Bene wants to
stop school this year, and the doctor says
she ought to, but 1 won't listen to that.
She's got to graduate, then she can rest as
long as she wants to-.

For Wee Tots.
From birth to two years of age white
lawns, dimities, nainsooks and cambrics are
used almost exclusively, although after
eighteen months very light-colored ging-
hams, daintily striped hannels and henriet-
tas are quite frequently worn. White
guimpes are made of tucked, feather-stltched
or lace-st-iped nainsook, and even for deli
cate children are sufficiently warm, IL all
wool undergarments are used. Every mother
should understand the Importance, even
necessity. of clothing her little ones, as well
as herself, in pure wool underwear. AL Two
years of age the skirts begin to shorten,
having up TO this time reached to the IN
step, or barely escaped the ground AT
three they reach quite up to the knee, where
they remain until the prospective woman
has reached the mature age of nine; then
they are heightened an inch or so for each
year until, at about fifteen, they are down
to the boot tops.
The very fashionable touch of black" Is
given to many of the tiny dresses, while
others are of bright cOlors only. All should
be made so that they can be worn with
Euimpe. When this is done the appearance
Of the gown may be so altered that 1t seems
like quite another dress.
Many mothers adopt the very charming
but equally expensive fashion of gowning
their little daughters in white until they are
five or six years old; but such course Is
not always satisfactory, as II necessitates
many changes and an almost endless
amount of washing.
