A CONSUMPTION MAP.
Board of Health Hopes by Care to
lessen the Disease

New York, Jan. 25.-The board of
health will soon know every house in
the city in which there is a case of con-
sumption. A map is to be made which
will show where the disease is to be
found 1t will also show every house
in which there has been a death from
consumption.
By this means the board hopes in
time to restrict pulmonary tuberculosis
within the narrowest bounds and event
ually almost exterminate it from the
city.
Because physicians have neglected to
report cases which they have under
treatment, the board last Tuesday
passed a resolution compelling them to
do so. When notification of a case is
made a daily report of the condition of
the patient will be made to the board of
health The infected houses will be
disinfected, and when necessary the
cases will be isolated.
In his report President Wilson of the
board of health recommends the build
ing of a huge city hospital for the &C
commodation and especial care of con-
SumDtiVeS.

TOILET Accessories

haps they may be black, all beaded and
buckled with jet and rhinestones. These
are really the most becoming slippers
of all. There are some cunning little
dancing slippers made of sort of mouse
colored undressed kid, and they remind
us of the poem about mice and slippers.
They are very soft and pretty, though
the black ones make the feet look small.
The shoes and stockings should match
in color. All the latest dancing slippers
have straps across the instep. These are
sometimes beaded and often have bows
with jeweled buckles. Any lady can
trim her slippers to match her gown.
Gloves are also beaded, sometimes in
quite elaborate patterns, around the
wrists or at the tops. The three stitched
seams that are always seen in gloves
are now sewed with imitation pearls or
diamonds, and the effect is quite pretty,
though rather snowy. The combs and
fancy hairpins are all jeweled for even
ing wear and are shown in such a variety
of shapes that every one can find what
she likes best. Long, flexible pieces of
iointed gold or silver work are set with
rhinestones or other jewels, and these
are twined in and out of the hair in
delightfully."- old time style.
There are sets of flower pieces made
in such a way that they can be worn on
any dress by means of hidden safety
pins. These consist of a long spray
of flowers and trailing foliage and one
or two epaulets. In some cases there is
also dog collar made of the flowers,
and sometimes half wreath for the
hair. But the clever maiden will get
only the spray and epaulets. One of
these, with a scrap of ribbon and sus-
picion of lace, will serve for dog col
lar, and the other may be worn as q
half wreath if SO liked. The spray in
such a case may be brought across the
front of the waist and fall down over
the skirt.
The prettiest Of the epaulet sets had
a bunch of pale pink roses in the center,
with ivy leaves and bunch of white
mistletoe at each end. Another was
made of clusters of small blue and
white asters, with half opened blossoms
on long, flexible stems. Another was of
blood red and pure white roses, with
much foliage and many buds on flexible
stems. The dainty lace rigoletto is shown
everywhere now for all evening require
ments as we'll as balls. 1t is made in
shape like Marie Antoinette fichu, but
being thrown over the mead gives IL the
shape of a hood. 1t may be very large
or very small. The three corners are al
ways in evidence. In the smaller ones
the point is left to fall over the face,
and the effect is very becoming.
The midwinter outdoor garments are
unusually rich and generally becoming,
though some of them are very quaint.

brought to bear on the flames. During
