FEARFUL MORTALITY
In the City of Havana From january 1st

A Washington dispatch says: DIR.

department complete report on the

October 10. His figures are enough
to strike terror to the hearts of those
contemplating visiting the city. DIR.
Burners figures deal only with the
city proper. Military hospitals in the
suburbs would add materially to the
totals.
In spite of the fact that Havana was
considered practically free from yellow
fever this year, IS died from that dis
ease during July, 30 in August, 20 in
September and II in the first ID days
OF October. The increase of typhoid
fever is startling, as shown by the fol-
lowing list:
Fifty-seven in June, 81 in July, 127

the first 10 days of October
Pernicious fever carried off 81 in
the first 10 days of October, an increase
of 200 per cent over the record of any
preceding month.
In the first 10 days of October mala-
rial fever caused 145 deaths, making a
total since January of $50.

SANDALS IN THE BOUDOIR
Enemy to Corns and Cold Feet Rein
troduced by English Artists

In the privacy of her own boudoir 1t is
now strictly correct for the swell girl or
her mamma to wear sandals. The new
footgear may be worn either with or with
cut stockings, as fancy or immunity from
calls may dictate 1t Is ust a simple san
dab not very different from the one that
Adam probably fashioned for Eve when
the pebbles hurt her feet, and the thorns
on the bushes scratched them. If worn
constantly in the house, 1t improves tho
circulation immensely and banishes the
yexations of corns and cold feet. The
sandals were resurrected from the shades
of antiquity by some women artists in
England, who spent long hours In their
studios and did not like the idea Of having
their pretty little feet imprisoned in stiff
boots all day long. They accordingly
made some drawings from the family
Bibles.
The sandals worn by Sarah as she
watches Hagar depart for the wilderness
furnished the model. The village shce-
maker carried out the design, and all that
summer those girls painted in sandals.

country road in them to the cottage where
they boarded. or course, their feet grew

friends. An American girl brought 1t over

to try them on, so that the head may be
properly fitted. The comb we are wearing
in the evening is put on much lower than
the one for day wear.
1t has been prophesied that the sailor hat
and the shirt waist have come to stay. The
Parisians are already weary of the shirt
waist and have replaced it this season by
exquisite gowns of linen for morning wear
whose bodices admit of far more variety
than any shirt waist ever made.
The straight stiff brim of the sailor has
also found rival in a new shape whose
becomingness Is far more general. 1t has

and a crown rather low and slightly conf
cal, adorned only by band of black vol
vet and handsome antique buckle. This
is another step in the direction of the FASH
ions of our grandmothers. There are those
of US who can remember the flat of forty
years ago, whose front was held down by a
velvet or colored silk ribbon in he hands
of its wearer.
Cherries are in high favor with the Pa
risians just now. Not only are they worn
in hats but as corsage and coiffure orna-

departure possible in contour. The ultra

frequently have profuse decorations of
their own. A scarlet satin cushion of this
kind has a mousseline de sole cover edged
in lace and decorat ted with hand-painted
rose and leaves of natural size. Delicate
silks are draped in white net run with mar
row ribbons caught here and there with

And Now the Store Club

The Generalization of forces" which Mrs
Henrotin recommends as the stronghold of
the Woman's club movement, has Just
been practically applied in New York city
in the formation of a club In one of its
largest department stores. Unlike the
average venture in new field, which
srpings feebly from small beginning, this
club takes on life with numerical strength
and great enthusiasm. 1t originates IN o
store where. out of POO employees, 2o00 are
women. Its primary object is to bring
about better acquaintance and underst tand-
ing Of those Interested in various art
mental work and to provide social and H.
erary opportunities for its members. There
is a clause. too, to the effect that the club
desires to bring about better understand
Ing between the customer and the business
woman. The mears by which this result
is to be effected is not specified.
Mrs. Florence Stowell of Wanamalser's,
club. of Philadelphia, says upon this point E.
'Our store clubs ask no charity, not
even the charity of patience. 1t is our
business to serve and to serve well, and
it is no kindness to tempt us TO leave
our duty half done. We only wish other
women to stop and think that the distance
between the two sides of the center is not
so great after all, nd that the woman bol
hind the counter is feeling the same Joy or
sorrow, or hope or discouragement,t that is
making your own heart happy or mourn
full. Often she appreciates the pretty
things you buy Just as much as you do. and
she likes to remember that its purchaser
was woman with pleasant smile and =

a widely extended movement that little by

How TO Make Fish Souifie

A fish soufile is easy to make Did you
ever try it? ANY sort of nice white FISH
does-a half pound of it-boiled in what
the French call court bouillon-water into
which has been thrown carrots, onions
parsley, laurel leaves and salt and pepper
Of course A slice Of bread, without crust
is boiled with little milk, and mixed with
the fish, picked finely to pieces. and good
piece of butter, until the whole is like a
thick porridge. This, then, is taken of
the fire, cooled, and to ii are added the beat
on whites of four eggs. IT is then baked
twenty minutes In the oven.
Tournedoes are little filets of beef cut
round and served on rounds of bread fried
golden brown in butter, or they are
'stoop up" on a platter with the toast be-
tween them. The sauce bearnaise is served
separately in a sauce tureen, and is made
very like a sauce Holandaise. Here is
the receipt: Put in a saucepan the yolks Oh
four eggs, a good piece of butter, salt and
pepper. Stir constantly over a slow fire
adding butter twice, until the sauce is firm
and of the consistency of a thick mayon-
naise. a teaspoonful of tarragon vinegar
and a teaspoonful of chopped estragon
should be added just before the sauce is
fintshed.-Harpers Bazar.
