made of one OF the pretty ribbed cloths in

worn in the street in midwinter, The
skirt is perfectly plain and wonderfully

square-braided with fat purple ribbon
braid in scrolls. Side pieces of black vel
vet similarly braided seem to be a part of
the yoke. entering the sleeve seams as
well as the seams of the bodice under the
arm. They curve prettily in front Jacket

curve.
The cloth back is tucked and drawn into
a black velvet belt, which slips under these
side pieces and fastens with buckle of
brilliants and gold work. In front, while
the cloth is drawn down into slipbt

cluster of five each, which come from

Care of Clothing

Is subject but little comprehended by
some women; as a result many with mod
crate incomes look decidedly shabby when
there is no real reason for it, simply, for
instance, because after paying round of
calls or after wearisome days shopping
they return home exhausted, neglect to
brush their clothes and do not give a
glance to see whether there is a stitch
needed anywhere so naturally the dust gets
ground into the garment and very likely
the next time the gown is donned it is in
haste and pin takes the place of the
missing hook or eye, or the slken ruffie,
perhaps, has slight tear which pin has
to hold together. OF course, the pin in
iures the goods and the ruffle will proba-
bly, tear badly, and such is the beginning
OF the end. Mothers should teach their
daughters, from the time they are chill

as soon as they take them off, after care

There is no way to elude the mark of per-

every point and tells the story plainly to

Any one who is not in robust health
easily falls prey to illness. says Dr.
Pheltshoe. OF all causes of "cold, prob
ably fatigue is one of the most common.
A jaded man coming home at night from
long days work, a growing youth losing
two hours sleep over evening parties two
or three times week, young lady heaV-

overfed and with short allowance OF sleep,
are common instances of the victim of
cold. Luxury is favorable to chill-taking
Very hot rooms, feather beds and soft
chairs create sensitiveness that leads to
catarrh. Probably many chIlls are con-
tracted at night or at the fag end of the
day. when tired people get the equilibrium
of their circulation disturbed by either
overheated siIting-rooms or underheated
bedrooms and beds. This is especially
the case with elderly people. In such
cases the mischief is not always done in
simultaneously, or in a single night. 1t
often takes place insidiously, extending
over days, or even weeks.

Protection From Lightning.


1t has long been held from practical ex-
perience that the network of wires now
found in many towns protects those
places from the effects of lightning, and
probably also prevents many thunder
storms from breaking over them. An
official inquiry has been recently made in
Germany as to the influence exerted by
telephone wires on atmospheric elec-
tricity, with view to set at rest the ques-
ton whether danger from lightning
stroke is increased or diminished by a
close network of wires. This has shown
that the wires tend to weaken the violence
and diminish the danger of the lightning.
stroke. Returns obtained from $40 towns
provided and from $50 not provided with
a telephone system show that the danger
varies on the average, in the proportion
OF l to 4.6 between the two cases.

Evil Habits of a Thrush.

Recently a solicitor applied at Maryle-
bone Police Court on behalf of a landlord
who desired that his tenant should be
compelled to cease keeping a thrush
which began to screech like steam en-
gine at 3 o'clock every morning. The
owner would not destroy the bird, so the
neighbors threw stones at it, without,
however, causing it TO cease noise that
was Gas alleged) intolerable and injurious
to health. Mr.. Plowden said a person
was within his right in keeping singing
bird, and the applicants omparison OF it
to steam whistle must be taken with a
large grain OF salt. The remedy was to
give the tenant notice to quit.-Westmin-

dress only becomes of Importance when
formality is the leading idea. Any
kind of dress is appropriate for in
formal occasions. for informality means
there being no strict rules what
ever. The guide for informal occasions
is that one should learn how others are to
dress and to dress about as they do. As
matter of formality, frock coat is strictly
an afternoon coat and should not be worn

that skirt pattern which suits perfectly

pattern for walking-skirt cannot be
transformed into an evening one by tack

extremely absurd. If you only take care

the bride is in travelling dress, the BRIDE
groom, best man and ushers wear frock-
coats, with waisicoats to match, of black
vicuha, gray trousers. white shirt and
collar, white four-in-hand or Ascot, top
hat and patent leather shoes. The guests
should appear at the church in afternoon
dress. A reception afterward would not,
unless it began after O'Clock, necessitate
evening dress.
Purists in dress insist that man should
always be in the same style of dress as the
woman accompanying him. For example,
II the woman has tailor-made gown, he
should be In tweeds or afternoon dress.
Ii she is in evening dress he should be also
And that applies to theater or a public
restaurant in the evening. If a woman
has tailor made gown and is dining in it
in the evening the man should not be in
evening dress but should be in afternoon
dress.
AT wedding where the bride is in a
travelling dress, as is sometimes the case
when she leaves the church to proceed
directly to train without an intervening
reception, the groom would wear dark
travelling suit of tweed. If she has a re-
ception gown Tin other words an after
noon dress) he would wear frock coat or
ii she has bridal gown high in the neck,
as all bridal gowns are in this country, ne
would wear frock coat. If the wedding
is in the evening he would wear an even
ing suit. This is the exact idea. Present
custom, however, has the bridegroom
almost invariably in frock coat for any
morning or afternoon church wedding.
