The London Punch,

Punch. the celebrated London comic
journal. is indebted to Douglas Jerrcld,
the wit, for its title. There was In Lon
don in 1841 a club known as the 'Ra-
tionals" (afterward as the "Owls').
which numbered the most famous
painters and llterrateurs OF the day
among its number. The insignia Of the
club was FOOLS cap. and each men,
ber wore such a head covering during
conclave. The club had for its object
sociability and mutual good fellowship.
The idea OF comic paper was
broached. and the title. The Pen and
the Palette. was suggested. Mark
Lemon and Leman Rede were both
members of the club, and sat one even
ing with the others over a glass of hot
water. whisky, and sugar. The subject
of the comic journal was again brought
up. Jerrold suggested that as they al-
ready had two lemons" and also the
other necessary ingredients for a good
glass Of punch" that it would be q
waste OF time to look further and fare
worse. The title was unanimously
agreed upon,

Elsevierian Ty3e.

The beautiful type that has always
been called "Elsevierian was really
made by Dutch engraver. Christopher
Van Dyck. Concerning his life we have
very little information. but we know
that he died about 1870. After much
search 1t has been discovered that
Christopher Van Dyck manufactured
the type not only for the Amsterdam
Elseviers, but also for those Of Leyden.
OF this type nothing remains at the
present day, for after the Elsevier aac-
tions in 1851 and 1913. the Van Dyck
type passed from hand to hand, until
the last piece was melted. Only after
these relics had been destroyed was It
discovered that the Van Dyck type had
aided in immortalizing the name Of FL

So far as known, there is no polyga-
nous Moslem household as yet in the
Middle States where the Moslems have
usually remained. They are nearly all
poor men, and poor men do not often
practise polygamy, even in Turkey. For
that matter, even rich Turks never
marry more than four wives, the Koran
limiting the number to two, three, or
four" -Four is convenient number in
the Orient and it gives each wife one
side of the open court yard of Mo-
hammedan house for her own apart

There are a few yelled Moslem wo-
men in New York, living in semi

Collar and cuff holders 80 simple that
man does not object to using them,
and so snug that they can be put In

gestions for simplifying their construc-

The back Of the collar holder Is OF
thin, soft. embossed brown leather, cut
% inches long and ~ inches wide.
One inch is turned in all round, and
rather large eyelet holes are worked in
coarse silk, on the right side. half an
inch from the outer edge. at a regular
distance from one another all along
both sides and ends. There is about
an inch and a half space between the
holes and It Is better to mark all be-
fore piercing any. to ensure regular
placing.
The inside is Of rather flne brown
linen In two pieces: the first piece 10
cut 23 inches long by ~ inches wide.
the second, cut IS inches long by ~
inches wide. Each end Of the second
piece Is curved In q little and faced. II
is then laid on the first piece Of linen,
leaving the same amount OF space at
each end, and tackled all around so that
the two pieces can be handled az II
they were one. A trifie over an inch
is then turned under all round SO that
the lining may just fit inside the edge
OF the leather back. Eyelets are made
on the right side to correspond with
those In the back.

cord Is used to lace them together.

grows more and more popular, and lace
as trimming for fur is more general
ly worn than fur on lace-a device
which makes a feeble attempt for its
life every year as a decoration for eve

too unattractive to be worn anywhere

made to look larger and,-strange to

chiffon and lace flounce, like the one
shown on the figure at the extreme left

While the Turks stay in the Middle
States the Armenians gravitate to New
England, where they get work in the
mills or enter domestic service. They
have no love for farming like the
Turks. though some of them become
rug dealers. They are nominally Turks,
because they have been Turkish sub
jects, but that is different matter.

upon her snowy throne, and as it Is
something of a cool seat she has
wrapped herself in warm furs-warmer
than usual this year. for the rumor has
got abroad that it is to be q cold WIN
ter. Besides, half the world is shiver-
ing in sympathy with the poor frozen
creatures who may be starving in Alas
kan gold fields. 1t may be that some
of the discouraged gold hunters took
their guns and turned down into Brit
ish America after the furry beasts
whose hides are as good as gold and
easier to get. At any rate, the market
fairly teens with the warm coats of
beasts whom man has robbed for his
idol. woman.
Aside from the mere question of
warmth, fur Is a great boon to woman.
It softens the lines of the angular face
in winter as lace does in warm weather.
The fluffler the fur the better does it
suit the average face. 1t requires
brave heart and a pretty face to wear
ermine, for example. 1t is we'll named
royal ermlne, since none dare the
risk of uglness with so much hardi-
hood as does a king. A few lovely
maidens in the prime of their beauty
can wear the smooth white fur with
safety, but the average woman needs
relieving feature in the shape of a bit
of color or fall Of lace to tone down
the dazzling whiteness Of the ermine.
An evening cape which blazed forth
from the front seat Of box at the
opera the other night was worn by
young woman, who, though sure of her
self and her beauty, had yet taken the
precaution to wear couple of cerise
rosettes on the edges of her ernine
cape where 1t fastened under the chin.
From the rosettes depended. on each
side, long cream lace stole, which,
when not tied in a large bow, hung
nearly to the bottom of the skirt.
