The use of a miners safety lamp to
avoid the accidental firing of eXplo-
sive atmospheres on board ship is adj
vocated by an English writer. He
claims suitably-fitted safety lamp
gives the most ready, trustworthy and
delicate tests for such dangerous gases
or vapor. If the flame of a safety lamp
be extinguished when it was carried
into air containing combustible gas or
vapor the atmosphere is almost certain
ly in an irrespirable and explosive con-
dition, and the space should not be en-
tered until the atmosphere has been
completely replaced by ventilation. If
hydrogen flame be substituted for the
ordinary oil flame the test is made still

is an unwritten law that no woman shall
be received unattended, not only in the
hotels, but in the frst-class boarding
houses as well.
1t sounds outrageous, does it not?
But this custom prevails not only in
New York, but to certain extent in
Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago.
If the Business Woman's hotel sue
ressfully copes with this one unmiti-

INDICATED its right to existence.
Renaissance is the style of architec-
ture suggeAted for the main body of the
building, with an Indication of the Greek
in the pillars and portico of the two
lower stories. The exterior of the ho-
tel, although somewhat resembling the
club building, in reality will differ from
1t in every detail of interior design and
construction, aiming, as it does, to meet
the demand of the thousands of profess
sional women desiring to limit expenses
and to gain comfortable and respect
pble surroundings for the least expendi-
ture of money. The Club building will
rather aspire to the patronage of the
more luxurious class, who are willing to
pay lavishly for rich surroundings and
the conveniences afforded in the more
sumptuous building.
The Business Woman's hotel will be
divided into a series of small apart
ments and single rooms. The single
rooms will be arranged in groups of
six, with one parlor and bath for each
group. This arrangementenables each
girl to have her private" parlor one
night in the week, and to have pleas
ant place for reunion on Sundays.
Smaller apartments, of one or two bed
rooms. narlor and bath, are planned

He fingered over to see the show open

hung up the receiver with an oath.

She may fill whole cupboard with
lotions and spend half of her time in the

not crown the efforts of the seeker
ufter beauty unless she turns her atten-
ton also to her diet list. Clear COM
pleXions do not wait on the tickle, nor

The woman who attends to have good
complexion must make a careful study
of the food question. 1t goes without
saying that sugary substances must be
banished from the bill of fare. Candies
are, of course, EXCEEDED. Cakes follow
in their wake. AS for pies and all other
compounds of flour and grease, they are
fatal to clear skins. Bread that is
doughty or starchy ranks almost as low
as pastry in the estimation of the seek
er after good looks.
Alcoholic drinks are banished almost
entirely; their effect, even in small
quantities, being mild form of con-
gestion of blood in the face, which
eventually coarsens the texture as well
as ruins the color of the skin. For some
what similar reasons all sorts of mar
cotics and stimulants are to be avoided.
Whatever excites the nerves or over
heats the blood tends toward the final
destruction of the smooth, peachy tex
ture which is the chief of every wom-
ans ambition to attain.

ducive to the attaining of brilliant

ration for China.
The Dresden style of decoration for
shina is always in favor, and no one who
attempts to paint Upon china at the
present time can afford to be ignorant
IF it's characteristic features. The
painting is always done upon the white
ware, as the tinted grounds are never
used for Dresden. The flowers, figures
and other devices employed are not out
tined in any way, as is done in all other
styles of china painting. Pure, bright
rolors are employed, quite in contrast
to the soft, mellow tones sought in Roy
81 Worcester. The shading of the flow
ers is intense and sharp, and vivid con-
trasts of color are often seen.
Gold scrollwork is largely employed,
often In relief, and sometimes a plain
panel of dark color is outlined between
the bits of decoration.
There is for sale in the art stores a
complete line of Dresden colors in
tended for this style of decoration ex-
clusively, but unless speciality is made
of this line of work, the La Croix colors
may be used with entirely satisfactory
results. Care must be taken, however,
in selecting the colors to be used, choos-
ing those only which are intense and
pure in tone, and avoiding ali the soft
and new" shades.

as done as in other styles of decorations
already described. The paints are pre-
pared for use in the same manner, but
there is no soft blending in tones in
shading, and, as already stated, no out
line of color is employed.
The design shown herewith is good
example Of the Dresden style of decora-
ton. 1t is desirable for dinner or tea
cups and saucers.
To paint this in La CroiX colors, first
tint the plain panels bright yellow.
using silver yellow for the purpose.
Next draw the flower sprays upon the
plain white china, and paint them with
the local colors, using carmine No. 2
rather thin for the roses. and leaving the
white china itself for the highest lights.
The leaves are of apple-green, the small
flowers of deep blue green. The half
