AN ODD LIBRARY.

Made From Pictures, Poems and
Stories Extracted From Magazines.
The Christmas season finds most OF the
magazines ending the old volume. Often
a woman does not care to have her book
cases filled with heavy magazines which
contain at best few articles which she
wants to preserve and large percentage
which she does not. A friend Of mine has
made a pretty little library of her own.
At the end Of each year she collects her
magazine copies. takes off the little wire
clasps with which they are bound, with
the greatest care to avoid tearing the sheets
She selects an article or story which she
admires and wishes to preserve. Little brass
clasps which are better than wire she OBJ
tains at some stationery or book-binding es-
tabllshment. These, carefully inserted, hold
the book" together. The cover Is made Of
cardboard tightly covered with linen. The
clever woman will need no instructions con-
cerning the arrangement Of her cardboard
This article can be bent to form the cover
or cut into two backs" according to fancy.
Heavy canvas or silk can be substituted for
linen. If she is q wide-awake woman he
covers for her new library will be tastefully
decorated. SINE are embroidered in quaint
and odd designs; others are done with colors
and a brush. The decoration should of
course combine the title and carry out the
idea Of the story itself.

Stand Straight. Elbows In, Head Un
and Then Walk.
It's simple enough to hold the dress
properly, but, like all simple matters, it's
hard for the masses to learn. Just take
hold of the back folds all together and lift
them an inch or two. Don't bring them
around to the side. for that savors too much
of the gay Partisan" for American taste;
and be sure you get all the folds In your
hand. OF course it's tiresome, but we hope
some day in the near future we can wear
our bicycle skirts on rainy days without
shocking society by the absence OF our
wheels.
And, if you want to walk we'll, hold
yourself erect-don't throw your shoulders
back, though you have probably often
heard that piece of erroneous advice. Just
keep them in a natural position. Don't
put your toes down first, like dancing
master but try to make both heel and ball
of the foot touch the ground at once. Hold
your body firmly, your head up, your chin
in; and walk a great deal with these things
in mind and after awhile those who see
you will understand how the poet could say.

Feathered Hats.

The hats and bonnets are truly wonderful to
behold, and 1t is really astonishing the amount
Of trimming-feathers, flowers and ribbons
that they succeed in concentrating upon each.
1t is not unusual to see at least eight or ten
loops of ribbon a quarter of yard wide, COM
bined with half dozen large wings. One hat
was nothing more than a broad brim-no
crown-with ostrich tips forming a complete
circle where the crown should have been and
nodding solemnly like the plumes of hearse.
Quite a favorite and becoming style is to
arrange the standing ostrich tips to form
coronet across the front of the hat. Varie-
gated flowers are very popular-particularly the
combination of purple and greenland are very
effective

A DIVORCES TITLES.
Due de Dino Gave Up His Title
p1ense His Son.


Since the divorce of the lady who was
Miss Mabel Wright from Mr.. Yznaga, she
has called herself MRS Mabel Yznaga."
This has caused some comment in New
York, as Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt retains
her husbands full name. 1t is said that
she has done this because the mother OF
the Duke Of Marlborough still calls her
self Marchioness of Bandford, which was
the title his father bore at the time of his
divorce. But If w. K. Vanderbilt should
marry again, Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt would
have to abdicate his front name and title
The present Duke de Dino, while still Mar
quis de Talleyrand-P -Perigord, married Miss
Curtis of Boston. When they were divorced
he married Miss Stevens of New York.
Both ladies call themselves "Marquise de
Talleyrand-Psrigord." The situation be.
came SO awkward that the Marquis induced
his father. the Duke of Dino, to give ur
his title 10 him in order to settle the stu.
alton. Mrs. Stevens then became the Ouch.

YLARIO'S CHANCES IMPROVE

A Contract for a Water System Under Con-

Land Purchase

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 4.-When the prose-
cution in the Jose YlRrio murder case
seated yesterday afternoon it seemed
that an unbroken chain of circumstan-
tisl evidence pointed to the guilt of
the prisoner. The blood stains on the
breast of the shirt taken from Ylario
at the time of his arrest and a fresh
cut club found at the scene of the
murder were two important exhibits of
the prosecution. In opening their
case the defense stated that they would
establish beyond doubt the true his
tory of the exhibits, and the first wit
ness in their behalf was the person who
gave Ylario the shirt in question. The
garment was positively identified
and the blood stains were
there when the shirt was given Ylario.
The next witness, young lady school
teacher, testified that within the hour
when the murder was committed she
passed Chinaman going in the direc-
tion of the scene of the murder, and
that he carried with him the blood
stained club. This testimony created
a great sensation and the chances for
Ylario's regaining his freedom are more
hopeful than at any time since the
trial began.
