Fashion Notes.

There are tiny silk capes with long
tabs edged with blue rufiles bound with
the material. These are a revival of an
old style. The cape portion fits the
shoulders and extends to the tops of
the sleeves. 1t is a little longer than a
yoke at the back and the fronts are
made pointed and cross over the bust.
They pass under the belt and have tabs
that extend almost to the hem of the
skirt. Around the entire edge of this is
a bias ruffie about finger wide. This
may be bound as referred to. or the
edge may be bound with narrow
feather-edge ribbon. In any event. the
rutfie must be quite full and bias. One
cape has the edge finished with lace
about half an inch wide. The edge of
the material is turned up under the lace.

machine stitching.
Eccentric combinations in color are

The Struggle WIN English.

A writer in the London Truth says
''In Italy no question can arise as to
the spelling of a word, and children
learn to read and write in few
months. while with us many are often
unable to spell after devoting to the
subject long years of labor and tears,
which might have sufficed for the
acquisition of really useful informa-
tion. For this reason, when | meet a
grown-up Englishman who cannot
spell correctly am always preiudiced
in his favor. 1t may be, of course,
that he is a fool, or mere Ounce, but
the chances are that in his reading
he has given his attention to some
thing better than the conventional
mode of selecting and arranging the
letters

A Question ofInIs.

Massachusetts, is struggling with a
novel question relating to the durabil-
lty of the ink recently furnished the
various state departments. The best
Ink was contracted for, but the arti-
Gle furnished is found to ferment in
the inkstand and to evaporate rapidly,
leaving a sediment. One report is
that the ink has been tampered with
by a disappointed firm of contractors.
The state chemist has been called on
to make an analysis, and the manu-
facturers also have employed an an
alyst, so battle of the experts is the
next thing in order.

lined with any of the new shades of
silk. This will give a charming touch
of color to a black bodice. 1t may also
be made effective by turning it with
ribbons. as shown in the illustration,
having the loops stand up high on the
shoulders and the longest ends reach
ing below the waist line. These ribbons
should appear to be fastened to the
collar by small punches of flowers. I'M
agine a cream white lace collar trim
med with heliotrope ribbons in this
manner and fastened with dainty clus-
ters of forget-me-nots. This collar
crowned with forget-me-not blue chif-
fon stock would be an addition to any
costume.
After a lace collar has been treated
in these various ways, as a last resort
1t may have the design outlined in jets,
gold threads or tiny colored beads.
Then again it will appear like new and
fulfill its economical mission.

Eating and Drinking to the Dead.

A strange custom in the Valois,
Switzerland, is to make a cheese when
child is born, which is left untouched
during his lifetime, and is often cut
into the first time at his funeral feast.
A rich man stores up wine as well as
cheese for his own funeral, and when
the event takes place a goblet of this
''dead wine," as it is called, is placed
on the coffin. the mourners approach,
take the goblet it their hands, touch
the coffin with in, and drink the con-
tents to u future meeting with tn cir
departed friend.

of them for the rest of their lives. Ac-
cording to public opinion, Laura was
a giddy, idle, fun-loving girl, who
knew nothing of taking care of a
house, or husband either; and Har-
low-well, he hadn't wit enough to
earn his salt, much less porridge for
two. Pretty housekeeping there
would be with such pair at the head!
Besides Laura was a spendthrift, just
as her father had been before her.
Look how she had squandered the
little he had left, in fine gowns to get
married in, instead of investing it in
something useful, or putting it out at
interest. And then the dear pub
lie washed its hands of the young
couple altogether, and lookup some-
thing else for charitable comment.

started out to picnic through life and
were not bothered about style and
conventionalities.
Laura's dear friends were right.
She was no housckeeper, ard poor
Harlow sat down to many an ill
cooked meal, while she was learning
the chemical process by which the
raw material was to be converted
into delicious and nourishing food.
He could not blame her mother. for
she had died when Laura was baby,
but he had no inclination to blame
anyone. They had agreed to picnic
through life, and n picnic it was. Be
sides, he made errors in the counting
room where he was employed that
nearly cost him his situation, and
they were both learning. Laura set
before him one day plate of biscuits.
"Made them all out of my own
head, and had enough wood left to
make another batch" she said inerrily.
"Stone, you mean, swee theart.
They are just like the biscuits mother
used to make" answered Harlow.
Laura threw one at him, and he re-

Now, strange as it may be, there is
nothing so insipid as the dead level
