The Fashionable Cane

The fashion of plain, silver-headed
canes, which came from London sew
eral seasons ago, has never been super
seded as the best form for any kind of
fancy cane The small silver heads
usually show no more ornament than
the initial engraved on the top. although
some of the heads turned out by the
American silversmiths have been ex-
pensively carved and engraved. They
are all modelled after the heads of the
walking sticks used in the eighteenth
century, and the present fashion has
caused a demand for the genuine an
tiques that has sent them up in price
and set the dealers to searching for as
many of them as can be found. They
were valued formerly as mere orna-
ments or as heads for women's par
asols, but it is for canes that they are
now sought. They are not adapted for
a cane that can be used on all occasions
and they require background that is
scarcely complete without the right pro-
portions of patent leather, frock coat
and silk hat. But the handsomest and
most expensive of these heads are in
conspicuous compared with the silver
crooks that were popular several years
ago.-New York Sun.

BOUDoIR GOSSIP

Tailor-made pique costumes will form
one of the very smart styles for after
noon wear this summer.
The new three-piece skirt has very
wide front breadth.
Pointed epaulettes, toreador jacket
fronts and plain and folded girdles still
lend great variety to spring street CO.'S
tunes and house toilets.
White batiste, silk null and chiffon
blouse vests and loose waist fronts are
made With bands of handsome lace in
sertion that cross each other, forming
blocks either large or small. A pretty
effect is gained by placing pink. blue or
mauve ribbon under the crossing bands,
leaving the white blouse itself with no
background of color.
Word comes from trustworthy French
sources that fine gold necklaces, narrow
bangle bracelets and small Etruscan
gold earrings and larger gold hoops set
with pearls, moonstones and small dia-
mond clippings are to return to fash
ionable favor.
Carnations, geraniums, gladioli, tu-
lips, lobelia blooms, roses, Gamma and
wild ounce blossoms are among the
brilliant red flowers that are used upon
spring hats and bonnets.
Loose silk and chiffon waist fronts
are trimmed with rows of gathered or
pleated ruffies to simulate bolero or
Jacket bodice effect. The same garni-
ture is used on the neck, sleeve-tops,
| and at the wrists of the coat-sleeves.
Some of the very dressy models for
] summer gowns show the skirt laid in
| alternate n-pleatings ana mar

Toilets of plain and embroidered linen
batiste or grass linen are particularly
effective so made up. and in rich black

Fate in Greek Thought

Fate was the ruling theme in the
eighth conference upon comparative lit
erature held under the direction of Prof
Charles Sprague Smith yesterday
morning in the Carnegie lyceum. Dean
Emily James Smith of Barnard college
read portions Of the "Oedipus Tyrannus
of Sophocles, and gave an analysis of
the play. He pointed out how all Hell
lenic fortunes were believed of the gods,
and that often these commands were
impaired through oracles beforehand.
in a prophecy the terms of which were
not fully understood until after the
event had transpired. So it was with
Oedipus, who seemed to be child OF
destiney. from the prophetic beginning
to the bloody end.
The Rev. Merle st. Croix Wright,
speaking on Fate as a Greek Concep-
tion," said in part:
1T is a mistake to suppose that the
early Hellenic conception of Fate was
that of dim and shadowy deity whose
baleful influence often found expression
in the acts Of Zeus himself The Greek
mind was so constituted that it would
personify a virtue or quality of char
acter by symbolic image, and then
personify by other images the attri-
butes that were supposed to exist in
the first one. Thus, from Zeus emanat-
ed the major deities of Greece, and from
them the minor ones.
I'm Homer we have almost no evissnce
of spirit that might be called Fate.

work out the varying destinies of the in
dividuals, using the latter as mere pup
pets upon which to exercise their power
in opposition to the wish of their fell
low-gods or to satisfy revenge. The
creatures of the earth were taught to
fear the dwellers of Olympus, whose
slaves they were.
The conception and development of
perception of personified fate came later
with the wars Of Alexander and the loss
OF liberty. Among the gifts of the gods
was life, which became symbolized by a
thread This thread. of course must
pegin and end, and SO it's spinning and
winding and cutting became personified

the post-Alexandrine era Zeus was sup

rates, although at first they were only

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD

An English receipt for Curacao liquer
has nothing in it which prevents the
amateur from attempting its compound
ing. To every bottle of best pale brandy
add the rinds of two Seville oranges,
one lemon and the third of rind of a
shaddock, or grapefruit, all pared very
thin. Let this stand for three weeks,
then strain off the brandy and add
pound of finely powdered sugar Ss-rock
candy. Shake the mixture frequently
for a month, then bottle, cork tiSstly
and store.

vous persons, does not veto coffee alto

times a day are peHaitted. Fruit she
advises to be used sparingly and never

UP-TO-DATE BURGLAR.
Breaks Into Safes with Machinery and
Saves Time.

The modern burglar is adopting mod
ern appliances. The jimmy bids fair to
become relic of the past before long.
A recent burglary in France illustrates
this fact, says the New Yor!; Journal.
A gang of ingenious craftsmen ell
tered bankers office armed with n
steel saw of the newest construction
and handy little gas engine. There
was no need for the exercise of muscle,
nor was there any necessity for a good
strong wrist at the saw as there was
at one time in the annals of famous rob-
berries.
The little engine was started, the
saw put in the proper place, and the
connections made. Seating themselves
serencly upon a couple Of chairs near at
hand, these modern burglars watched
the true and rapid work of their appli-
ances.
The big safe might have resisted for
hours the force of human hands, but
the saw, impelled by the engine, it
could not stand against. 1t promptly
yielded up its contents of over $4,000
worth of gold and bonds, and in quar-
ter of the time it would have taken to
have committed the robbery under the
old conditions the burglars were well
out of the building with their booty.

A lady protected herself against the

abatement of speed, considering that he

Pedestrians on the footpath and bus

To Written the Teeth.

A homely set of teeth will spoil the
prettiest mouth ever fashioned after
Cupid's bow string. On the other hand,
Il commonplace face becomes positive
ly attractive when the lips open and dis
close two rows of clean, well-kept
worries. They need not be like denti-
frice advertisements, says an exchange,
and the "pearls" of the old-fashioned
heroine are in this practical age but
lightly esteemed. But there must be
about the well groomed mouth whole
some, cleanly look. Precipitated chalk
will keep the teeth in fine condition.
Have box of it always on your toilet
stand, and see what it will do towards
treshening up a dingy mouthful of
teeth.
