this under her arm one would think
she was carrying around little fox or
pet dog. These peculiar muffs are
of black, blue or silver fox.
Muffs are all enormous this season,
SO large that small woman will seem
lost behind one. OF course they will
be used in all furs to match the cape,
jacket or collar. Chinchilla is still
very fashionable and many muffs and
collars are made of this beautiful gray
fur. Hudson's Bay otter ia also q
great favorite for those who can afford
it. When dyed it is like sealskin. bat
is thicker fur aud wears much
longer. A coat or cape of otter would
last SO long that it would probably go
through great variety of changes in
shape before being finally discarded.

4 chiidx 1dea.

Flossie was seven years old when her
mamma took her to live in the country.
All her life she had lived In the heart of
a large manufacturing town. and knew
nothing Of the beauties OF the country.
oh, how delighted she was with the
beauties of the fields, the buttercups
and daisiesl But most Of all she loved
to hear the lark singing It's song OF JOY
far away up In the blue sky. But she
never thought 1t was bird that sent
the sweet, clear music through the air.
One day she was sitting in the garden.
The lark was not visible; but his song
was heard, ever bright and melodious,
as 1t mingled with the soft, signing sum-
mer wind; and the child listened eager
ly.
"what are you looking at, Flossie?"
said her mamma.
Nothing, mamma" answered Flos-
sic.
"Are you listening to the lark? He is
too far up for you to SEQ him."
"The lark, mamma? Is that the

think 1t was, darling"

slightly disappointed look. "it was the

coRsErs GONE BY.

ii it really is true that the Queen of
Portugal has ordered the women of
the court to remove their corsets, we
may look out for q fresh assortment
of modes. Style in gowns will change,
because the fitted frock as We wear it
today is not pleasing without stays.
Interest in physical culture will in
tensify greatly, since with less expec-
ted of dress more will be required
of figure under the clothing. Modes
in hats shift with. those in gowns, and
the same is true of shoes
Why would it not be an excellent
idea to let all OF us see in that way the
effect of tight clothing upon women?
OF course, common sense would re-
volt against the exhibition, just as
common sense is, and has been, OPP
posed to every effort of the human
being to become acquainted with him
self. But We are not all governed by
common sense, thank heaven!
Let us know the worst about woman
and her corsets. 1t can not be SO bad
in its effect as not to know it.-St.

FASHION NOTES.

Powered taffeta ribbon with the de-
sign outlined in gold and silver threads
is seen in sash widths.
Rose, black, two shades OF green,
corn color and white are shown in an
English imported dress.
Velvet muffs to match velvet hats
are popular. They are lined with silk
the color of the hat trimming, and are
bordered with fur or with feather
trimming.
Bolero jackets of black velvet, edged
with narrow border of mink, beyond
which double frill of black chiffon
extends little, are among the pretty
dress novelties.
A great deal of embroidery is used.
Entire waists and sleeves of embroid-
cry are made up and draped with rib
bone, silk, velvet or the material of
the dress with which the waist is to be
worn.
Some of the new capes for theatre
and opera wear have big rosettes of
chiffon on each side of the collar,
where it fastens in front, and from
these long ends of chiffon float almost
to the bottom of the skirt
Hairdressing is becoming something
fearfully aud wonderfully complicated.
Heads are bushy, brushy and frizzled
beyond belief. There is an evident re-
action in favor of massive styles, and
the very free use of false locks is pre-
dicted. Curls also are returning to
favor, and puffs, crimps md waves
are decidedly in the ascendent.
Some of the capes aud collaretts are
plain, but the handsomest are made
with yoke of some other fur, Hudson
Bay otter, sealskin or Persian lamb,
and around the yoke there is trim.
ming of little heads Of the same fur,
with their tiny bead eyes shining.
Animals heads, tails and paws are
used on almost all fur garments.
Jackets this year are trimmed with
great buuches OF tails fastened on with
large head. SeaIskin and Persian
lamb jackets have trimmings OF sable
tails and heads, a bunch on each side
of the trout. These trimmings are
used instead Of last years collars oil Z
contrasting fur.

An Ingenious Signal.

Few pedestrians who have passed
along Walnut street between 7th and
9Th have ever noticed the little black
single extending from the third-story
window of No. 715, and still fewer
know that it has any significance. DR..
Henry w. Lehman, the well-known
analytical chemist, occupies the third
story front Office of the binding, and
the single is primitive means OF
announcing to his regular callers that
he is in or out. The end of the board
nearest to the window is hinged, and
to the other is attached cord which
passes over pulley and bangles from
the wall inside of the room. When
the doctor is in he hangs his hat on
a hook on the end of the string, aud
the weight pulls the shingle up into a
vertical position. When he puts his
hat on before going ont the sustaining
weight ia released and the sign board
drops to horizontal. 1t can readily
be seen from the street, and DR.. Left

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

1t is said that lamp wicks dipped in
vinegar and dried without squeezing
will never smoke.
Busting cloths should be cleaned or
changed every few days. or they will
leave more dirt than they take off.
When stone china used about the
stove in cooking gets brown from long
use, scour it with ashes or brickdust
and soap.
Don't let children go to bed with
cold feet. It is prolific source OF
colds, Group and leads ito catarrhal
troubles.
4 teaspoonful of tnrpentine in a
boiler of clothes will whiten them
without harm. Handle carefully, as
turpentine is infammable.
Ii you have no dark place to keep
your canned frnit in, wrap in brown
paper and write the name on the out
side, SO you can find it easily.
When the tops of glass fruit jars re.
fuse to bulge, dip thick cloth in
boiling water and wrap about the
cap. In five minutes they will come of
easily.
Coal oil is splendid thing to use
on hard leather shoes, to set away wet
to dry. Wash the shoe free of dust
and mud with soap and water, then rub
the coal oil in and set away over
night.
Oilcloths will last considerably
longer on the floors if one or two lay
ers of carpet or thick wadding are put
under them. Unless the floor is
phenomenally smooth the odges of
the boards curl almost imperceptibly
and wear through the oilcloth.
Oil and grease spots on wall paper
may be removed by making paste Of
pipe clay or fuller's earth, which
spread on the spot and leave over
night. On knocking it off the next
morning the spot, if not old, will
scarcely be discernible. II it is old,
apply again.
A wise woman who believes it is a
sin to go on doing things in the old
clumsy way, after new idea has been
proven good, cleans her window glass
and mirrors by salinating tissue paper
with coal oil and rubbing them
briskly, polishing off with soft, clean
cloth. She says that flies do not
trouble her much in summer, either,
when she cleans her windows and
paint with coal oil.

Badly Flustered.

A well-known and much beloved cler-
gyman has half dozen good stories
which are particularly appropriate for
childish hearers, and whenever he Is
asked to address a Sunday school or
public Institution for the benefit Of
children, as he pretty often is, some
one Of these stories Is certain to be
called into requisition, and Is invarl-
ably received with enthusiasm.
There is only one difficulty about
the matter" the clergyman says, land
that comes from my not always being
able to remember, when called upon to
speak to an audience of children,
which story / told them the last time;
but year ago, when was sent for TO
address q certain mission school, l
thought was safe. As hurried to-
ward the church that afternoon, said
to myself, I will tell those boys my
nutmeg story. I'm sure they've never
heard it, and it's just the right thing at
this time
$50, having settled that point in my
mind, sat comfortably until the su-
perintendent announced me as the
next speaker.
"'You will all be glad to know that
Doctor - has come here again, and
has promised to tell you story, as he
did last year. the superintendent said.
i don't believe there is q boy in this
room who has forgotten that capital
nutmeg story which Doctor - told us
tho last time he stood on this platform,
and am sure he has an equally inter-
esting one for us to-day
'Then he sat down." concluded the
clergyman, ''and was obliged to gath
er up my scattered wits and make an
other selection from my half-dozen
stand-bys as rapidly as possible; and
to this day think that superintendent
believes that his introduction was 80
complimentary as to embarrass me for
fully a minute, as it was certainly that
length of time before had come to my
senses and launched forth on my Sec
ond best story, In q cold perspiratiOn."

WHY SHE TAKES HIS NAME.

The practice OF woman changing
her name on marriage originated from
a Roman custom, and came into use
after the Roman occupation, says
writer in the Commercial Tribune.
Thus, Julia and Octayia, married to
Pompey and Cicero, were called by
the Romans Julia of Pompey, Octavia
of Cicero, and in later times women
in most European countries signed
their names in the same way, but
omitted the ''of." On the other hand,
at the beginning of the seventeenth
century, the usage seems doubtful,
since we find Catharine Barr SO sign
ing herself after she had twice mar
ried, and we always hear of Lady Jane
Grey (not Dudley, Arabella Stuart
mot SEYMOUR, etc.
Some persons think that the custom
originated from the Scriptural teaching
that husband and wife are one. This
was the rnle Of law, so far back as
Bracton, and it was decided in the
case of Won VS.. Smith, in the reign of
Elizabeth, that woman by marriage
loses her former name and legally re-
ceives the name of her husband. The
castom, however,is not universal. In
Spain and Portugal married women
do not take the names of their hus-
bands, bat continue to be known by
their own. In many parts of the
United States woman never relin-
quishes her maiden name, and is
called by it as often as by
that of her husband. Even i'll the
rural parts of England one often finds
a married woman called by her maiden
name, and in country districts of Scot
land it is sometimes found that both
names are used. In many parts of
France and Belgium the husbands and
wife's names are used together when
either of them is mentioned. New

MISS WARN Err OF CHICAGO.

A Chicago woman is famous for her
assertiveness. She is not only able to
take care OF herself, but usually takes
u hand in whatever is going on about
her.
A Miss Warner of Chicago, did this
in quite notable way few days ago.
As she was walking on one of the
business streets she saw drayman
beating his horse numerically. The
animal seemed to be half starved, and
because he did not move rapidly with
an enormous load his brutal master
dashed him at every step.
Miss Warner appealed to several
men to interfere, but they refused to
do SO. No policeman was in sight,
and finally Miss Warmers patience
gave way. She rushed upon the cruel
driver, and before he realized what
her intentions were, she seized the
whip with which he was beating his
feeble horse. and gave him taste of
his own medicine. The fellow leaped
from his wagon, but the irate woman
kept up with him and gave him a LASH
ing which he will never forget. After
cutting him severely several times,
she finished by breaking the whip
over his head. A big crowd gathered
on the scene, and Miss Warner was
loudly cheered as she finished her
righteous work. A policeman who had
been attracted by tho disturbance
asked her name but did not arrest
her. 1t seemed to be the opinion of
the citizens and the officer present,
that the plucky woman had asserted
the higher law, and that she deserved
thanks. rather than punis hmcnt- an
opinion with which we heartily agree.
