sist In following the exact dictum Of fash
ion suffers. Sometimes very full sleeves
and skirts are de rigueur, and then
the fat woman alone suffers. When will
women understand that fashion is not an
abstract law to be followed regardless of
consequences, but merely tendency, to be
more or less regarded as it suits ones in
dividual case? If woman is angular, she
must avoid tight, clinging apparel that
will accentlIate her angles. If she is fat,
she must shun not only very tight but
very voluminous garments and must keep
to the happy medium. AS for colors, be-
sides keeping in mind what tints best har-
monte with her hair and complexion, a
woman must remember that light colors
increase her apparent size, while dark ones
decrease it. Dull, velvety surfaces inten-
sify tenderness, while bright glossy ones
add to the girth. Deficiencies must be con-
cealed by draperies, superf1uities softened
by them. The best lines of the figure must
show under smoothly fitting coverings, the
worst ones be hidden by fu1lness and trim
mings Horizontal lines make one look
wider, lengthwise ones appear taller. All
these details tell in the general effect and
are worth considering.

F1annels In the Laundry,

Flannels and silk undergarments
should be treated in much the same
manner. Soap should never be rubbed
on the garment, and the washing and
rinsing waters must be of the same tenn
perature. Pure soap will not injure fan
nels, so it is economy, in this case, as
in others, to buy the best Make good
soapsuds, using water little more than
lukewarm. Wash the fannels in this,
p1unging them up and down, but not
scrubblng them, as this thickens the
texture. Use as many soapy waters as
may be necessary, having them as nearly
as possible of the same temperature.
Rinse in several 1ukewarm waters and
put through the wringer. This is the
advice given in Table Talk, authority
also for the following:
Flannels should never be twisted in
the hands If impossible to use wiring
er, lift the f1annels from the water with
one hand and with the other squeeze
the garment until it is comparatively
dry, then shake it thoroughly and dry
IN the same temperature in which it has
been washed. Many who are most sue
cessful in washing fannels never wiring
them at all, but take them from the
water and allow them to drip until they
begin to dry, finishing the process by
the fire. 1t is either poor soap, bad han
ding or quick changes of temperature
that cause fannels to shrink. IF they are
ironed, they must not be left to dry be-
forehand, but ironed while damp until
dry

Jules Verne,

Except when he brings out one of his
marvellous books, we hear little of NJ
jules Verne, but the fact is that he is
leading very quiet life at Amiens AL
though 6S years of age and wearing the
appearance Of a retired general, he is
full of energy and as hardworking as
of yore. He is now busy in the execu-
ton of his plan for publishing a series
of stories bearing on different countries.
Before beginning a particular work NJ
Jules Verne reads up a mum Der of geo.
graphical, historical and other books
treating of that part of the world, and
as he goes on the plot gradually germi-
mates in his mind. He is indeed an ac-
tive and laborious toiler. He rises regu-
larry at O'clock in the morning and
writes steadily until noon. He retires
to rest at 8, except on two evenings in
the week, when he accompanies his
wife to the Grand theater, dining be-
fore at restaurant opposite the build
ing. This is his great treat, and he is
fond of remarking that ON these occa-
slons he and his wife enjoy themselves
just as if they were young couple on
their honeymoon. AS matter Of fact,
M. and Mime. Jules Verne have not
been near Paris for the last eight years
and find that their life at Amiens suits
them perfectly.-Paris Cor. London Tel

Pilgrims to Friedrichsruh.

CAD about Friedrichsruh you see
evidences of the love borne,'' writes
George ". Smalley, the famous CORE
spondent, on 1.-THE Personal Side of Bis
marck, " in The Ladies' Home Journal
'There come, of course, multitudes who
care, first of all, TO see the great man.
They come from all over Germany, and
not few from other parts of the world,
the United States included. 1t is an
event to witness his reception of them,
the homage they offer him, which is so
evidently in great part personal, for it
is no longer as if he were the all power
full minister and ruler of Germany.
These pilgrimages are honorable to hu-
man nature, and especially to German
human nature.
"But what struck me especially in
such of these demonstrations as / have
seen was the mood in which Prince Bis
marck received them. To him they were
tokens of friendship. He clearly liked to
think of these strangers as friends
Some of them had been his comrades in
the battlefield or the senate house. You
saw how fraternal was the feeling with
which he grasped their hands The light
came into his eyes, and have seen tears
come into theirs. There was between
them tie which both recognized, and
of it was so heartfelt, SO human and
tender that the hearts OF these veterans
OF war and peace overfowed.

One of the things that surprise for.
eign housekeepers, notably Frenchwo omen,
when they como over here is our cumbrous
domestic machinery. Particularly are they
amazed that it should be such an almost
universal custom to have the family wash
ing done at home. 1t is BAD enough in

be changed sooner or later seems inevita
BILE. So much of cooperative her .ekeep.
ing could be adopted with profit to him or
them who would undertake it and with
enormous addition to the comfort and con-
venience of living The nearest approach
to this millennium at the moment is the
scheme of some of the laundries to take
the family washing by the pound. Five
cents per pound on all bundles of five
pounds or over is charged, a price which
includes the ironing of certain fiat pieces
like towels and bed linen. The starched
pieces are returned starched and dried and
ready to dampen and iron, and the other
pieces rough dried. If such a system will
pay in isolated establishments with neces-
EARLY limited patronage, it deserves trial

DIVORCES.
Sam Jones Says They Are the Devils

Extracts from Sermon in Atlanta.
The Bible tells US that 'whosOever
the Lord hath joined together. let NO
man put asunder' | don't believe
there ever was a marriage that God
had made ard blessed that was fol
lowed by an Internal divorce A
match that God makes is not un-
made.
Its the DEVILS gang that's get
ting the divorces. When a young
man and young woman love each
other and go to the minister and are
joined together by him with Gods
blessing, when these two lives are
joined together in this sacred way,
they become one; and l say the most
objectionable sin in this world is to
deliberately tear asunder a match
like that.
''If any of you women married a
ecounorel, you'd better stick to him.
Ii you married a dog, you'd bett. r
stay with him. For Gods sake,
don { turn him loose on the world to
wreck and ruin some other woman's
life.
The legislatures of nearly every
state are digging and cutting at
Gods laws on marriage, and if they
keep passing their laws the whole
structure OF our society will fall.
Every divorce obtained in this CITY is
direct blow at the foundations OF
society.
II a man picks out a girl he want 8
from the 40. 900, 900 in this world
and then in twelve months is run
ming up to the Judge and telling him
that he has a direct case of imcom-
patability, l say there's something
wrong with our social fabric, and |
feel like saying to such a man, You
ought to be killed, you dirty dog
you l don't believe there is a dirt V
