The latest fad in the way of eccentric
dress is the wearing of jewels upon va
rious articles of clothing. This extrav-
agance originated in Paris where the
jewellers are falling over one another
in the attempt to find some new use TO
which to put gems.
There are now on the market rs 2
unique result of this attempt to find or
devise something new, gloves, in the
backs of which are set precious stones,
diamonds, rubies, pearls. and emeralds,
and in fact any gem whose natural col
or harmonizes or makes a pleasing con-
trast to the color of the glove. Dia-
monds seem to be the favorite gems
used for this purpose.
The jewels are set in the back OF tho
glove, along the seam, and are held in
place by means of small nut attach
ment. Thus far only few of the more
advanced women of the ulta-fashion-
able set have taken to wearing the di-
amond ornamented gloves, but the fad
is slowly but surely spreading and no
man can tell to what extent it may be
carried.
The wearing of gems, according to
jewellers have never been SO widespread
and extensive as at the present time.
While year or two ago it was con-
sidered bad form to wear any but the
plainest jewels, the other extreme will

A Pretty Ornament In tho Form OF
Homemade Flower Vase.
A charming flower vase may be made
in the following manner: Cut imita'
ton petals of the tiger lily in stiff white
muslin; sew a tiny line of fine wire
down the center of each leaf, and finally
cover with white velvet, which should
be gummed onto the muslin and then
cut to it's shape with very sharp scis
sors. When quite dry paint the dots
and lines on each petal with oil paints
using it as dry as possible. Now make
the stamens of wire, which must be
painted, and gum an atom of brown
velvet onto the top of each. Make s
foundation of thin cardboard covered
with silk or velvet, and sew the various:
petals. and stamens onto this, .arrang'
ing them in as perfect manner as pos

T. Nothing Ii easier. The odd thing l
that SO many girls fancy tea making :
difficult art, when it is really very
simple process, which needs only atten'
ton and care to produce excellent re-
suits. :.
Having good tea to begin with, next
I've sure that you have freshly drawn
pure and filtered water of which to
make the beverage. The water must
not have been standing for hours ex'
posed to the weather nor simmerlng on
the range, and growing fiat. 1t must
be fresh, and then if you have brish
fire, or the hot flame of an alcohol lamp,
bring it quickly to the boil. A flat-bot'
toned kettle is to be preferred, as it has
a broad surface to expose to the heat
and the boiling is soon accomplished,
Water is boiling when it bubbles and
jumps merrilys about, and the steam
comes in white puffs from the spout ot
the kettle. It. does not boil when it be-
gins to simmer and to sing. That is only
the sign that it is near to boiling. You
must make your, tea when the water
has Just boiled, not when it has been
boiling a long time. A kettle which
has been standing on the back of a
stove all day, filled up now and then by
u dipper or two of water added when
some has been taken out, will not make
good tea. You must boil the water on
purpose.
An earthen pot is better for tea than a
metal one. Pour a little boiling water
in the pot to heat it, and after minute
or two pour it out. Now put a teaspoon
full of tea for every cup Of hot water
an even, not heaping spoonful-and
add an extra one for the pot. Pour on
as much water as will fill the number
of cups you wish to make. Let it stand
two minutes, then with 1ong-handled
spoon stir the leaves once through the
water, and instantly cover the pot
again. Three minutes more and your
tea is done. Never let tea steep or boil.
or stand long time. 1t is quick, neat,
nice process from beginning to end

WOMEN AS INVENTORS.

History Of tho Progress of the Inventive
Faculty Among Thorn.
The United States patent office
records give some interesting informa-
ton in regard to the progress OF the
inventive faculty among American
women. The Office was established in
1890, but it was nearly 20 years before
patent was issued to woman. The
first was in 1909. This was issued for
a method of weaving straw with silk or
thread. In 1926 there were IA patents
issued to women, larger number by
far than had been issued any previous
year. It is singular to note that the
feminine genius for invention ap-
peared to slumber from that time, un-
til it was suddenly aroused by the
great war. Many Of the women's pat
ents that then poured into the patent
Office were for implements and ma
terials of war and for hospital appli-
ances and sick-room devices. From the
COS the number of women patentees
steadily increased. In 1870 it was 60;
in 1880, over 90; in 1890, over 200, and i'll
1897, over 300. From 1909 to 1888 women's
inventions averaged 30 year. From
1883 to 1892, 23O year; and since 1892,
$50 year. OF the subject Of these in
vcntions, wearing apparel heads the
list, with 100 different patents in two
years and half. Next come cooking
utensils, with 100 inventions; fur
niture, IS; heating or washing or
cleansing apparatus, more than 40
each; sewing and spinning devices and
building apparatus, about 30 each; and
educational and surgical apparatus,
toys and trunks, about 20 each. Other
lines in which women have tried their
inventive genius are preambulators'
barrel and bicycle attachments, print
ing and bottling apparatus, boxes and
baskets, clocks horseshoes, mo-
tors, musical instruments, plumbing
and preserving devices, screens sta
tionery, theatrical apparatus, toilet
articles and typewriter attachments.

ments on some previously existing de-

PARENTAL DISCIPLINE

seven Maxims Which Every Parent Should
Learn by Heart.
AS long as human nature exists in its
present imperfect condition, so long
will the question of the discipline of
children remain of the greatest impor-
lance in every home, for on the disci.
pline of children in the home depends,
to very great extent, the future well
fare not only of individuals, but of the
nations and the race. For the object
of parental discipline is not to secure
obedience to this or that rule which it
suits the temporal convenience to make,
nor even to secure 'good conduct" in
the child, so much as to develop the
character of the young life intrusted to
our care.
DIR. Mary Wood Allen, in recent arti-
Gle on punishment, quotes Nora Smiths
seven maxims, which we think every
parent should learn by heart. They
are:
/. The discipline should be thorough.
" in harmony with child-nature in
general and suited to the age and devel-
opment of the particular child in ques'
ton.
2. 1t should appeal to the higher mo-
tives, and to the higher motives alone.
3. It should develop kindness, help
fulness and sympathy.
4. It should never use weapons which
would tend to lower the child's self
respect.
$. It should be thoroughly just and
the punishment should 81 be commensu-
6. It should teach respect for law and
the rights of others.
Z. Finally, it should teach voluntary
obedience, as the object of true dis.
cipline in the formation of character;
it should produce human being mas
ter of his impulses, his passions and III
will.-Womankind.

soon be reached, and jewels will be
worn in ways never before thought OF.
Like every other fashion which origi-
mates in Paris, the fad of wearing dia-
mond backed gloves has crossed the
English channel and few of the more
daring English leaders of fashion have
promptly had jewels set in the backs OF
their gloves. Following the invaria-
BILE order of such things, the fad will
reach this country during the present
season.
American girls will doubtless com-
bine this fad with the other one OF
wearing the stones appropriate to the
month of their birth. Then those who
believe in planetary influence upon the
human disposition will have only to
glance at the glove to know the charac-
ter of the girl.

aood Wav to Test Linen.

A way to test linen, by means OF
which the introduction of cotton
among the linen threads may be de-
tected, is to cut off small piece of the
material, to unravel the threads and
then to examine them under q strong
magnifying glass. The characteristics
of flaxthreads are very marked. They
are in the form Of cylindrical stalks
divided at intervals by knots, in the
same way as bamboo or sugar cane
stalks. Cotton threads are long and
hattened like ribbon, waved, twisted in
spirals and granulated on the surface.

Exodus Of Artists.

This il the season Of the year when tho
artist, amateur. or otherwise, goes forth to
see nature as she is and try to depict some
of her many beauties. With folding easel,
camp stool and sketch box complete, no
seeks out hooks which appeal to his fancy
and provides himself with sketches to work
W. during the winter. The most attractive
field for the artist is along the line OF the
Saint Paul & Duluth railroad, which Rms
through the most beautiful portion Of the
Northwest, where infinite variety Is pre-
sented. The Duluth Short Line, as this line
Il generally known, is noted not only for its
picturesque region and its countless sap
phire lakes, but also as the peoples popular
route between St.. Paul, Minneapolis, Du-
luth, West Superior, Saltwater, Taylor's
Falls and other prominent Northwestern
points. Its facilities and characteristics
are such as to appeal to the business man,
tho tourist and the homeseeker. Its finely
equipped trains leave and arrive at convent
ent hours and run swiftly and smoothly be-
tween the handsomest Of terminals, where
close connections are made with trains and
boats running in all directions. With these
signal points in it's favor, it is no wonder
that the Duluth Short Line always enjoys
heavy patronage and holds its patrons.

depends on other birds to raise its
