The turquoise is especially rich in virtues.
The Germans claim that by its varying
shades it turns telltale on the caprices and
moods of its wearer. Cardau, the

that turquoise mount and worn as a

Good Habi Societies Are Being
Formed in the Schools OF
MnuY Cities.


The Worlds Good Habit Society is .
unique organization which had it's origin in
Chicago, a poor peddler being the moving
cause. 1t seems that a fruit peddler took
up his station at the noon hour beside the
doors of a public school house with intent
to exchange his wares for pennies: he

your permission" and when he In turn ex-
pressed his opinion rather forcibly upon
him and despitefully used him. tearing his
clothes.
This was the beginning Of the Good
Habit Society.
There are no fees nor dues connected
with the society. The officers-president,
vice president and secretary-give their
SslHi n iT %nd tartt se'e to 81 organize ase Ia.sf free eAe Of

of the land. and the boys and girls becom-

pledge themselves. as follows:

animals. To use no bad language. neither
to lie nor steal; to abstain from alcohol

The pretty badge which is given to each

always be worn.

compliments them.

absolutely necessary, but it has been found
that those who have had an artistic cul-

MOSAICS DONE BY WOMEN.
ARTISTIC SENSE AND DEFT FINGERS
NEEDED IN THE WORK.
New Field for the Independent
WOman-In the Whole History of
the Art, None but Men
Have Been Employed.

So much has been written about woman's
work that one would think that the SUBJ
ject had been exhausted, yet there is a field
almost ~monopolized by the fair sex which
has attracted scarcely any attention. This
Is tho art Of making mosaics. Women have
been doing this work for four or five years
now, the Tiffany Glass and Decorating
Company, of New York city, having been
the first to employ them, and they are
recognized as specially fitted for it. hav-
ing a finer color sense. as a rule, than men.
and being reader in the use of their fin
gers.
In the establishing of mosaic studios in
this country the securing of artisans to
carry out the designers ideas was one Of
the greatest difficulties to be overcome.
AT first it seemed as if the only thing to be
done was to bring workers over from Eu-
rope, but there We're decided objections to
this course. These men have traditional
methods of working, and are not inclined
to give them up. Moreover. the materials
used for American mosaics. while similar
in many respects to those employed in Eu-
rope, differ widely in other points. The
color field of American mosaic glass. for
INSTANCE. is not only much broader Dad than
able Of retaining graduations Of tone in
one piece. Hence new methods of work
were required.
In the face Of this dilemma It occurred
to Louis c. Tiffany that possibly young
women might be trained to be good mo-
sale workers, although IN the WlOl6 MS
tory of the art. which goes back to the
beginning of architecture, no one, so far
as is known. had ever thought Of such a
thing before.
Accordingly, the experiment was made.
Mrs. Clara Wolcott Driscoll, the present
head of this department at Tiffany's. and
then employed by the company as u de-
signer, went to work at the mosaics, and
within a few weeks demonstrated that the
art of the Musivarius. as such a worker
was anciently called. was within the ca
pacity of women. A lumber of young
women were then brought together as ap-
prentices. and soon they were in full pos
session of the field.
An occasional man is still employed. and
it happens that one of these can do the
work better than any of the women. but he
Is regarded by the company as a freak of
nature. and his achievements do not shake
the general belief that the mosaic depart
ment is In woman's sphere.
Nevertheless. there is one great and ap-

A DAINTY LUNCHEON DISH.
How q Plain Knuckle of Veal May
Become a Surprisingly De-
licfOus Dish.

This is a very pretty luncheon dish and Is
prepared as follows: Take a knuckle of
veal, weighing about two pounds. and SIM
mer in highly seasoned water until it will
pull to pieces: boil six eggs hard and cut
two of them in halves; pull the veal into
shreds with a silver fork and place half of
1t as a layer in the bottom of a deep dish;
around the sides place alternately the slices
of lemon and the halved eggs, with the cut
side facing outward toward the dish; put
the four remaining eggs on the layer of
meat in the bottom of the dish, then add
the rest Of the veal: lay a weight on the
meat and set it aside to get cold; turn out
on a platter and garnish with celery; the
beauty OF the dish consists in the circles of
lemon and eggs which appear around the
sides when the pressed meat is put on the
platter; there is also a surprise when the
loaf is cut into and the eggs are seen; don't
forget to add a little seasoning to the meat.

JUDGING CANARIEs.
Multiplicity of Points In tho Tiny
Birds Song to BE Con-
afdered,

One Of the mcst interesting things in the
range of judges work in the task of giving
points to canaries at a bird-singing compe-
tition. Each bird is taken into a small
room, the doors being closed. and the.
Judges sit ON different sides Of the table
upon which the bird Is placed. Should the
bird fail to sing no prize is awarded. When
it does sing. however. there are twelve
qualities of song that receive markings and
four faults. The mellowness, spontaneity,
range of voice. the MARBLE, the fullness,
r%oundness and richness of tone. the alb
eence of abrupt exchanges from one scale
to another and the continuity are points
that receive special attention. When the
bird peeps too much before beginning to
sing. when its music is shrill, or when
there is a haw or a hitch in the execution,

T0QUEs OF HI HOUR.
The Once Demure Head Covering BE.
gins to Rival Even the
Picture Hat.

Toques have begun to swell. for the
time was when to say "toque''' implied
something modest. close and demure. but
now they rival the picture hat in size and
pi~cturesqueness. The toque proper has no
brim, is built to rest directly on the head
in turban fashion. and time was when It
followed the contour OF the head or at
least suggested it. But a stunning example
of the new sort was a violet affair that
mounted in plat after plat to amazing
height. TIL plaits We're drawn close at the
left side and held down under a great
buckle; on the other side they were pulled
out; each plat arching beyond the one
under 1t till 1t seemed a wonder 1t did not
look top-heavy. Under the buckle were
thrust the quilts of a bunch of ostrich
plumes, which curved up along the line
of plai:s and %overhung them at the very
top. The effect was fine. the snowy soft
ness of the plumes giving the dressy touch
that nothing but white does give these
days. From the back the toque looked like
an inviting violet toboggan slide. topped by
a curly white toboggan that had just been
launched for a downward swoop.
When every one must admit that this
picture hat is too elaborate for ordinary
women's wardrobes, and when the erst-
while simple toque Is cutting such shines
as those described. a majority of women
must build their hopes on the sort of hat
that is described as medium sized. In that
very characterization is inferred a lack
OF distinction. but be comforted by the
thought that the picture hat is tabOoed be-
