FASHION NOTES,

Flexible gold bracelets, with jewel
enrichment, have returned to stay.
Silk moreen is q new material for
petticoats. It costs $3.50 yard, is
fully a yard wide, and comes in q
variety of colors.
A novel muff and cape long enough
to reach to the elbows are made Of
coque feathers, with the breast ieath.
ers for the yoke.
White satin stock collars are worn
by French women with silk and velvet
shirt waists in place Of tue linen ones
SO Icommon here; and satin Of any
color may be substituted for the
white.
The heart lockets and brooches are
going out. The few lockets that re-
main are round or oval in shape and
set with diamonds. But even these
are scarcely to be numbered among
the popular.
Empire muffs OF velvet lined with
fur are made up this season, and the
latest style of fur 1nuhf has lining of
the same fur. Other novelties in fur
are the bolero jackets, trimmed around
with lace or otherwise decorated with
applique designs in beads.
Muffs Of velvet and fur combined
are finished at the opening with q
ruche OF finely plated glace silk or
]ece which has been stiffened q little
in the plating. The fancy for having
them perfumed is going out of fashion,
as the scent is not always agreeable to
others.
Distinction in dress is a difficult
matter with the variety OF colored
embroideries, laces and diversity of
materials in use this season, but a
successful way to attain it is to have
plain costume CT some soft color, like
gray or brown, and put the note of
color in the hat and nuff, with an um-
brella 10 match.
Illustrating the new vogue for in
Producing old-fashioned stones with
pearl or diamond setting, is pansy
brooch,..the two upper petals being in
crusted with tiny diamonds. The ef-
feet is weird, while big amethyst is
set around about with raised coronets
of seed pearls, very attractive and
not expensive ornament.

A Divers Telephone.

An American inventor has perfected
and patented highly ingenious form
of telephone system for the use of sub.
marine divers. The device cen be
used in either deep or shallow water.
The first requisite, Of course, in g
divers telephone should be that the
added mechanism can change no con.
ditions whatever, in so far rs making
any demand upon the divers vigilance
or activity. In other words, the tcle-
phonic arrangements must not DO al
lowed to hamper the person with
whom they are connected. The De
Veau invention accomplishes this.
The receiver of the phone is within
the helmet, close to the left ear of the
wearer, and is Of the ordinary watch.
case type, No. s.. The transmitter
is just above the Divers head. The
circuit is formed by two wires, the
lines running through the centre Of a
manila rope attached to the helmet.
There is, outside che helmet, little
junction box, and q little collar to re-
lieye The strain that might come on
the cable, which is wound with the
spira!s of the strands lying closely like
those of a spring. Unusual protec.
ton is thus given to the insulated
wires within it,
The man on deck carries box,
strapped to his body, within which is
the induction coil for the system, and
all the accessories, including four
cells Of Mesco's battery. To call the
attention of the man below, all that
has to be done is to jerk the life line.
The deck set weighs only about four
pounds, and that carried by the diver
adds only eight ounces to the weight
of the helmet. Needless to say a
great gain in the speed of diving op.
erations will be the certain result Of
tho new submarine telephone. ..

A SHREWD AMERICAN GET.

Ii our American girls who are bent
on crossing the water for titled hus.
bands would only emulate the shrewd
ana patriotic example of Miss Louise
eugene Bonaparte, who welded Count
Aoam dc Moltke-Huitteldt, of Den
marx several days ago in New York,
mere would be no valid objection to
international marriages.

mony, Miss Bonaparte executed o trust

her estate. BY this wise arrangement
t9e young American heiress not only
paced her fortune beyond the reach
or her husband, in the event he might
WISH to replenish his bank account St
her expense, but also insured it's re.
tentlon on this side Of the Atlantic.
while the Danish Count may prove
a shining exception to the list of for
elgners who have bestowed titles upon
our American girls during the last few
years, it is most too early yet to give
MN credit for better intentions than
other foreign counts have exhibited.
III looking for wives in tho American
market it cannot be denied that
great majority Of these titled foreign
ers have been actueted by no other
aeslre than to protect themselves from
hopeless insolvency. This is proven
by the fact that, in almost every in.
stance, those marriages have fruitea
IN life long misery. Our American
girls cannot be too careful in bestow-
ing their affections upon the off.shoots
OF foreign nobility. While now and
then foreigner comes along who is
perfectly sincere in his declaration of
love, and who proffers to the girl Of
MS choice something more than mere
title, it is not every day in the week
that such rare opportunities are to be
encountered.
In view Of the shrewd precautions
which Miss Bonapsrte, now Countess
Huitfeldt, has taken to screen her
property in this country from her
husbands matrimonial cupidity, the
public is Of course somewhat anxious
to know what the result will be. If
Count Huitfelkt is truely in love with
his bride, end had no mvrcenary de-
sign in leading her to the altar, it will
make but little difference to him
whether he increases his bank account
or not so'}ong as he has won the heart
of pure American girl. On the con-
trary, however, if he turns out 10 be

Spoons

It is admitted that spoons are very
"ancient," but just ezactly how old
they are and by whom and where they
were first used are points upon which
we are left completely in the dark.
Creighton says: 'Sp,ons must have
been a very ancient invention, for 81
Saxon spoon OF period silver silt, Or
namented with gems was found in q
grave at Sarre, Thanet"
When forks we're unknown, spoons
played very important part at tho
table. Spoons Of the thirteenth CEN
fury, and even later, bad handles ter.
minating in knob, knot, acorn, or
other odd and cumbersome devices.
About the period Of tie Restoration,
of which SO much is said in English
history, a great change was made in
the forms of spoons. In some Of the
unique patterns the spoon" part was
divided into two, three and even four
parts, and the handle always split or
twisted and turned up, instead OF
down and back. Spoons of that per.
iod were all blunt, instead Of being
pointed, as in the forms generally
seen at present. They continued short
and blunt down to the time of George
l., when they were first made pointed
and had the handles turned down in.
stead Of up.
About the year 1900 what we're
known as "apostle spoons were in
troduced. They were so called be-
cause they had the figures OF the
twelve apostles carved upon their
handles. They we're generally given
by sponsors to children at their time
of baptism. The wealthy presented
the entire twelve, those who could not
afford to indulge in such extravaganza
giving enc or more, according as they
felt able.
The most curious and remarkable
spoon in the world, perhaps, is @ "cor.
onation spoon preserved among the
other royal relics in the Tower of
London. The bowl is OF gold and the
handle Of silver. The handle is split
down the middle and set with I'LL
kinds of precious stones. The relic is
valued at about $40, 600, or upward of
500, 900,

A GREEK WOMAN DENTIST,

Not even the classic isles of Greece
have been able to resist the onward
march of the new woman, for in the
very midst of these "Islands of the
Blest" was born the child destined to
add one Of the latter-day professions
to the vacations already open to wo.
men Of her race.
DR.. Euterpe Mantaphunis is not
only the first, but, up to the present
time, the only Greek woman who has
studied dentistry, although there are
several Of her countrywomen now en-.
gagged in the study OF medicine.
Miss Mantaphunis was born in Scio,
one Of the most beautiful islands of
the Aegean Sea. This island belongs
to Turkey, and was many years ago
conferred upon the Sultana as her own
private property.
Miss Mantaphunie, however, early
left her lovely island home, going to
Athens, where she entered the Ameri-
can college. Here she studied mainly
languages and music, remaining until
thoroughly conversant with English,
French, Italian and Greek. TO those
she afterward added German and
Turkish. She then went to France to
study dentistry, and was for three
years assistant to Dr.. Beltrami, the
famous professor Of the hospital at
Paris. Thus splendidly equipped for
her profession, Dr.. Mantaphunis re-
turned to her native land and began
the practice Of dentistry at Samos,
another island of the Aegean Sea,
lying some forty-fve miles south OF
Smyrna. Before opening an Office,
however, DR.. Mantaphunis was obliged
to get permission from the Prince Of
Samos, q favor usually most difficult
to obtain; but i'll this instance, His
Excellency no sooner examined her
diploma than the wished.for privilege
was granted, which was considered
a very great honor. The Samians
have been for generations ardent and
devoted patriots, and have made sharp
and brilliant struggles for independ-
ence, but, to their great disappoint-
ment, European policy has assigned
them to Turkey. They are not, how
ger, incorporated with the Turkish
Empire, but are semi.independent,
being governed by Greek, who bears
title OF Prince Of Samos and pays tri-
butte to the porte.
According to DR.. Mantaphunis,
Greek womel take eycsllent care OF
their teeth, and in consequence of
their mild climate and simple mode of
liviog-for they are uncommonly
temperate both in eating and drink
ing, their principal diet being vege-
tables-the teeth last exceedingly
we'll.
In the practice Of dentistry in the
orient American implements and
American methods have been exodus.
lively adopted. The same anaesthetics;
the same filings are used, and an
identical line of work followed, even
to the little children, whose first teeth
receive careful attention.
DR.. Mantaphunis gave up her prac'
tice at Samos last autumn to come to
America and add to her present honors
the distinction Of an American
diploma, and prosecuted her studies
in Philadelphia.
Though sufficiently advanced to
have produced one woman dentist,
Greek women, so the doctor says, have
not as yet taken up the wheel, but
that is doubtless among the things
that are to be. -Chicago Record.
