model is all in green, the gown of
satin showing green gauge ruffies
edged with fine white lace. Coral
jewelry will be worn with this dress
which is decidedly suggestive of the
seattle green waves with their
white cappings. The coral jewelry
is in delightful harmony.
One of the prettiest of the seasons
new designs is the gown with lace
top and sleeves, "buttoned down the
back" 1t is the buttOning down the
back, you know, that gives such a
touch of novelty to many OF the
frocks. This gown was in putty
cOlored French broadcloth, with top
and sleeves of deep ecru and blue
silk embroidery-very open-put
over a lining of bright turquoise
blue taffeta. Where the cloth met
the embroidery there was line of
gilt and blue passementerie. A
most charming gown, this, for a
young woman. The same idea may
be most successfully carried out in
black and white, putty-colOr and
green, or, in fact, almost any pretty
combination Of cloth and embrOid-
cry, or with velvet top and sleeves.
The1acing of go WINS up the back is
an old fashion revived. Some years
ago it was Introduced, but did not
become particularly popular. Now
the most stylish of the new skirts
fit perfectly close and smooth, lac
ing the length of the placket. 1t will
be noticed that all fullness is ar
ranged to flare fanlike toward the
bottom anu to lie perfectly fiat at
the waist. The trail of the princess
gown is most graceful thing, and
as all skirts are cut with fit OF d
dip at the back. the feminine figure
has more graceful air than 1t has
had for many a day. Even the
street gowns trail just at the back
and, though it Is hard on the neat
wOman's nerves, she Is often com
PEELED to walk behind some fair
maid or matron, whose skirts are al
lowed, with supreme Indifference
upon the part of the. wearers, tG
raise cloud of dust. But even the
neat woman is fast yielding to, thu
charm of the trail, though she will
catch up her skirt we'll at the back
when on the downtown streets, and
this Dame Fashion does not like
for when she orders trailing skirts
she wants them to rail, and does
not build them to look we'll wher
lifted, for trailing skirts are never
full.

AntiwOrry Pads.

Among sure preventives for gray
hairs and crows feet a certain busy
woman sets down what she calls an
autiworry pad. She keeps an ordi
nary note size writing pad on her
dressing table, and on this she jots
down a list of engagements, letters
to be answered, business to be at
tended to, articles needed for house
or for personal use, conveniences,
charities, and all the other interests
that enter into busy life, as they
come to her mind By this means
she relieves herself of the worrying
sense of something forgotten, which
is apt to haunt the woman or man
whose days are filled with a null
tipiicity of demands, and who has
no secretary to keep him or her re.
Numbering details. For such the
antiwOrry pad is recommended as a
nerve aud temper tonic.

Crowns Worth Millions.

According to the Court Jeweller,
published in Germany, the crown
that adorned Queen Wilhelmina of
Holland on her cororatiOn, and
which was once stolen and regained
is valued at 100000
This is MT the only crown that
had an adventure. Prince Drago,
grandnephew of Isabelle, former
queen of Spain, visited America u
few yeas ago for the purpose of re-
gazing the crown the queen had
disposed of. Much to his chagrin,
he found it had been bought up as Il
valuable addition to the jewels of
the Countess de Castellane, daughter
of the late Jay Gould. The price
paid for it was $l250O0
Queen Victoria's crown is set with
$3.50 diamonds, 233 pearls, and a
most extraordinary ruby. The crown
is valued at 81 100000
The crown of Portugual is said to
be worth $6,200,000.
An enormous price was paid for
the making of the Car Of Russia's
crown, which is orhamented with
five beautiful large diamonds and a
giant ruby.
The crown worn by the Emperor
of Austria was made 800 years ago
by stephan H., king of Hungary. 1t
weighs IA pounds, has 81 sapphires,
so rubies, smaraged and 80 pearls.
All these jewels are tribes com
pared with some of the oriental roy.
al headgear. The jubilee jewel OF
the Sultan of Johore, in Malaka, fol
instance, is valued at $4,000 900.

THE SOLDIERS WIFE.

He offered himself for the land he loved,
But what shall we say of her?
He gave to his country soldiers life;
Twas dearer by far to the soldiers wife,
All honor to-day to her!
He went to the war while his blood was
hot,
But what shall we say of her?
He saw for himself through the battles
flame
A hero's reward on the scroll of fame.
What honor is due to her?
He offered himself but his wife did
more.
All honor to-day to her!
For dearer than life was the gift she
gave
I'm giving the life she would die to save
What honor is due to her?
He gave up his life at his country's call
But what shall we say of her?
II e offered himself as "a sacrifice,
But she is the one who pays the price,
All honor we owe to her!

THE PRINCESSE GOWN,

Some g Beautiful Models Described
The leading model is the princess.
There are other fetching designs,
but nothing is So highly approved
as the one with long, graceful lines,
unbroken at the waist by belt or
seam. This style obtains in both day
and evening gowns.
It il tue aim of the tailor and the
dressmaker to fashion gowns with
as few seams as possible. There
must be perfect curves, but all lines
long, and while the gowns OF the
season do not have one scrap too
much of fullness, still there is no air
of skimpiness. This would spoil IL
all. The fashionable cuts allow of
most delightful ample folds, but SO
disposed that they follow the figure
ana do not flare out in the angular,
aggressive way that they did but so
short u time ago that women still
remember quite clearly the ugliness
and weight Of the umbrella" skirt
with its six yards of width anu
frightful depth of hairclOth.
AS the heavier fabrics hang best
in the princess one finds such gowns
mainly in satins and velvets. There
are heavier SILKS that make up beau
titully in this style and a most
charming new pOpnn with figures
in silk brocade.
The princess has so often been de
clarsd the gown for maLrUns that
quite young women, those attracted
by its charms, hesitate to appropri-
ate them. BIT this season the prin-
cess gown Is IN n great variety OF
forms. One of the prettiest that
have seen, and one that is quite SUIT
ed TO a slender, girlisn figure, was
in pink silk, opening at the side OF
both top aud skirt To show close sci
rows of tiny white mOusseline dt
sole ruffies run with pink ribbon.
The arrangement of the front
drapery is quIIe Grecian. The bacF
is in the plain princess form with
the fullness pleated in and farinI
tan.like ,uward the bottom, the Skin
ending in short train.

Cooking for Women.

The problem OF higher education
for women is being agitated in Ger
many in rather n surprising form.
The German madchen doesn't know
much about higher mathematics
and Chaldaic, as rule, but she has
world wide reputation for domestic
virtues, and it il bewildering to find
the lawmakers OF her land crying
out for compulsory courses of Gull
nary instruction. A law recently
proposed requires every woman, on
attaining her twentieth year, to pro-
duce u certificate that she has salts
faotorily completed a, severe course
In cooking. One cannot help Won
dering about the domestic experience
of the man who put forward the
pro position. Perhaps he has suf
fered keenly from the lack of such a
law auu has philanthropic interest
in thu gastronOmic salvation of com
Ing generations.
Tna obligatory culinary instruc-
ton for women would probably do
more for the welfare and happiness
of the nation than the obligatory
military service for men, aud no

Cooking schools have multiplied
in the United States during the last

receive any Systematic training in

over the fact thaG their daughters

inability To make c0ffee or anything

POWERFUL MAGNETS.
That Is What Professor BigelOw Calls the
Sun and Earth.

Sun and Earth.
Forty years ago scientists discussed and
discarded the theory that the sun and earth
were powerful magnets. Professor Frank
II. Bigelow, one of the chief meteorologists
at the national weather bureau, thinks
they were too hasty in discrediting the
idea. He believes the sun and earth to be
two spherical magnets, as suggested; that
rays issuing from perm anent magnetic
state in the suns interior reach out and
combine with the earth S magnetism; that
an outer shell of the earth is permeated by
these rays; that the suns action causes the
magnetic changes shown in variations of
the magnetic needle. Professor Bigelow 8
researches along this line have been in
progress for several years and are still be.
ing carried on in the weather bureau
building.
All of the important magnetic Observa-
tions have furnished data from which his
conclusions have been drawn. Needles at
given moment are pointing in certain
directions at the several stations. They
all suddenly tilt forward. This is due to
strengthening the external magnetic field
surrounding the earth. Following out his
theory, he explains why years in which
auroras are most frequently seen CORE
spond with those in which the greatest
number Of sun spots are observed, as we'll
as with the years when the greatest num-
Der of disturbances have been detected in
the magnetic field of the earth. AS one
proof of his theory Professor Bigelow uses
| the fact that the material forming the CO.
roma of tho sun (Seen during total eclipses)
is divided into rays corresponding to the
magnetic lines surrounding the poles of a
horseshoe magnet when placed beneath a
paper upon which iron filings are spread.

And be friend to man.
