Cabman Ia Ignorant of the Makeup

The other night two cabs stopped in
front of West side beer garden. The
occupants rolled out and started across
the sidewalk toward the entrance. One
Of the party turned back and gave the
two cabmen quarter apiece, telling
them to get something to eat while the
crowd remained in the beer garden for
half an hour. Mulcahy and Dorney,
as. soon as their customers disap-
peared, went over to the nearest res
tt urant and seated themselves at a
table.

"D'n know; wat you?" responded
Mulcahy.

Just then girl went flying by the
table with an order of charlotte russo.
1t was the low-priced restaurant char

with charlotte russe' painted in red
letters on the outside.

II dunno, we'll ask her an try some of

back Dorney called her. ,.-
''W'at's that light-colored stuff We
just carried by?" he asked.
"That was charlotte russe," said the
girl.
swell, bring us two O. Them
The two little round boxes of char
lotte russo were brought and set be-
fore the cabmen. Dorney didn't seem
to take much of a fancy to it, and ate
only few spoonfuls. Mulcahy, how
ever, didn't leave a vestige Of his, and
commented on Dorney's failure TO eat
up his supply.
TITS sweet enough, but they amt

''Sure it's fine" said Mulcahy, "bpt

After the men paid their checks at
the counter Dorney turned and walked
toward the back of the restaurant. He
went up to- the waiter girl whom he had
noticed laughing and pointing out
Mulcahy to another girl while he and
Mulcahy were eating. eess

DOMESTIC TALE BEARING,

A Tendency That Should Be Ntpped
r in the Bud. }s5E%Jsa j rSk5.ts
There is no rule which the housewife
should be more rigid in enforcing than
that which prohibits tale-bearing by
servants. Unless her maids understand
from the very first that madame will
not give ear to any gossip brought to
her from the servants quarters, she
will be overwhelmed with petty ac-
counts of kitchen misdemeanors. Many
women assert that they find it easier
to get along with one maid, even if a
large share of the work must receive
personal attention. At least, say they,
friction between servants is avoided.
This is quite true, for where two or
more maids are engaged all sorts of
small jealousies and dislikes have their
rise. The housemaid complains of the
cook, and the cook grumbles about the
housemaid's failing whenever either
can get hearing.
the. only certain means of putting an
end to it, is for the lady of the house
to reprove the first attempt at tale
bearing. She should frankly state that
she desires to know nothing OF her
servants disputes, and that whatever
faults they may have she prefers to dis
cover herself; that neither insinuations
nor accusations will be tolerated, no
matter in what spirit they are brought
to her.
The servants will learn to respect this
principle, and there will be less oppor
tunity for nursing imaginary wrongs
if there is no chance of appealing to the
housewives sympathy. s.;a
Not only the servants, but the chill
dren of the house, should have any tale
bearing instincts nipped in the bud
Have the juvenile gossip know that spy
ing and eavesdropping among the
maids for the purpose of tale bearing
will seriously displease mamma, and
there will be no danger of childish pratt
tie which brings to light the domestics'
shortcomings.-Leis Hours.

4 Few Notes On EARLY Autluna

- Few Notes ON EARLY, Autumn
II ssi1 s. C0stume j. Il,
Half . dozen years ago the woman Of
any age who would have entered q car
in the day time or walked on one st the
public thoroughfares. in "a Il broad
brimmed hat of white fancy braid with
trimming Of white plumes, white rib
bon and sprawling aigrettes or bird
of paradise feathers, would have taken
nineteen-twentieths of the eyes in the
immediate vicinity, and might have felt
rather, thankful If she escaped audible
criticism or even worse. Surely usage
makes q great deal of difference. Now
I'VE pass through tossing pillows of the
most extravagantly conspicuous mill
linery, and never even know that it is
there, so accustomed are we to, it's pres
ence. In fact, the era of eccentric head
gear has fully set in, and just what will
be the end nobody seems to know.
Among the novelties are hats made of
shirrings' of the softest. chiffon and
other equally thin materials: These
shirrings and ruchings are put on over
farmers that are twisted and warped,
bent and curved in the most artistic
fashion. Masses of seasonable flowers
and autumn leaves are pressed into the
folds and convolutions of the brim, and
bird of paradise feathers and aigrettes
are an almost indispensable portion of
the garniture.
These thin materials come in ell col
ors, and if one has bit of ingenuity
very; novel effects are realizedsby little
painstaking and PATIENCE.
The early autumn hat of fancy braid
is already in evidence. The trimming
most liked is a scarf of soft silk, crepe
or silk muslin. Wings, autumn leaves,
plumage of all sorts and ostrich tips ara
lavishly used. Plated lace is coming
into favor for hat trimmings, and velvet
flowers, absolutely smothered in lace
edgings, will be used on winter millin-
cry. A stylish hat has moderately wide
brim rolled up at the back and faced in
front with velvet, which extends within
an inch of the edge all around. This
edge is of fancy braid, and is put on in
plaits or twisted so as to make the edge
quite heavy. The trimming is of rolls
/ of soft thin fabric and ostrich plumes
that stand high up over the forehead. =
A novelty hat has wide brim rolled
closely up at one side. Next the hair on
this rolled up side is an enormous clus-
ter of roses and foliage. From this rise
three ostrich plumes, either one of them
at least ten inches in length. They
spread slightly to form fan at the side,
and the ends curl over upon the crown
|s=of the hat. The remainder of the hat is
without trimming save roll If thin

Peat Chanred Into Coal.

The electric current has been utilized
by a German inventor for changing
peat into coal within a very short time,
while it requires centuries for nature
toperform that work. The peat, spongy
and full of water as it comes from
the earth, is placed in an electric oven
with a capacity for 40 bushels. The oven
is lined with asbestos and spiral wire
runs through the center. The wire il
raised to a white heat by the electric
current. After the water and all ths

Toadskin AZ q Medicine.

Mr.. Richard +. Hewitt has recently
shown that the old idea of employing
preparations of the toad as a remedy
in certain diseases is not so absurd as
many believe. A substance is secretee
by the skin which resembles digitalin,
and may have favorable effect in cases
of heart dropsy. The venoms of the
toad and salamander are alkaloidal, and
thus differ totally from snake venom,
which is proteid in nature.

a good figure, plump enough, yet slen-
der enough, though never suggestive of
an angle. She must have a white, ex-
pressive hand, preferably small one,

dressing, and cling closely to that.-N.
