Dainty Colors In This Years Handker
chiefs for Ladies'

From the Philadelphia Press.
Women who keep pace with the fash
ions have discarded all their pocket hand
kerchiefs bought last season.
Fashions in handkerchiefs have radical
ly changed. Not so long ago even a sug-
gestion Of color about pocket handker-
chief was considered bad form. And a
hdhdhtrehlef with a colored border was
regarded as simply impossible by women
or refinement. Only pure white handker-
chiefs were then thought correct.
But this year touch of color is intro
duced into many of the finest grades Of
hdndkeTChiefS. and so CleVerly is IL dome
that the effect is entirely artistic
Sheer white linen handkerchiefs have
eXSuisitely embroidered in one corner a
Few tiny violets. a clover blossom and leaf
or spray OF dainty forget The
colors chosen are delicate and the effect
extremely pretty
Another new idea is the wreath of fine
colOred flowers which encircles the ONu.

EXquisitely fine white handkerchiefs
are also seen having for a border three
narrow cOlored bands, separated from ore

are white handkerchiefs with plaid and
check borders III delicate cOlors
The man Of fashion never carries A big
SILK handkerchief The most correct
handkerchief for his use is made OF

the han0kerChiefs are twenty inches
square. If they are of the approved quaI-
lty OF linen il costs s. 10 own lust one
Frequently the mans initials, very small
are embroidered In white in one corner.
Ultra-smart women have tabooed the
Dlack bordered mourning handkerchief
Even when In the deepest bereavement
only white hemstitehed hanGkerchiefs are
carried by those women who follow every
Whim of fashion.
Sheer linen hsndkerchiefs edged with lace
and embroidered with tiny thistles in their
natural colors are new. Also dainty hand
kerchiefs with embroidered bow knots
in colors for border. A number OF the
new handkerchiefs are Of faint colored

FIRST SUSPENSION BRIDGE.
Koreans Built 1t Across the Im,jin River
In 1892.

From Harpers Magazine.
The first suspension bridge that can
be dignified by that name was thrown
across the Im-iin River in Korea In l0JZ.
Here again dire necessity dictated the
terms. The japanese in Pyeng-yang,
learning OF the defeat of the army OF re-
enforcement determined to Withdraw.
China had begun to bestir herself In IA
vOr of Korea, and the japanese, driven
from P'yeng-yang by the combined Chi
nese and Korean armies, hastened south
ward toward Seoul. When the pursuers
arrived at the jim River. the Chinese
General refused TO cross and continue
the pursuit unless the Koreans would
build d bridge sufficiently large and
strong 10 insure the passage of his TO-
COO men in safety. The Koreans were
furnishing for revenge upon the japanese
and would be stopped by no obstacle that
human ingenuity could surmOunt. Send
ing parties OF men in ali directions. they
collected enormous quantities of chik, a
tough. ibrous vine that often attains a
length OF 100 yards. From this eight huge
hawsers were woven. Attaching them
to trees or heavy timbers let into the
ground, the bridge-builders carried the
other ends across the stream by boats,
and anchored them there in the same
way. OF course. the hawsers dragged in
the water in mid-stream, but the Koreans
were equal 10 the occasion. Stout oaken
bars were inserted between the strands In
mid-straam. and then the hawsers were
twisted until the torsion brought them d
good ten feet above surface. BrushwoOd
was then piled on the eight parallel haw-
sers, and upon the brushwood clay and
gravel were laid When the roadbed had
been packed down firmly and the bridge
had been tested. the Chinese could no
longer refuse 10 advance: and so. upon
this first suspension bridge, 80 yards long,
that army Of 10000 Cinnamon, with all
their Korean allies. camp equippage. ana
impedimenta. crossed In safety. This
bridge, like the tortoise boat, having
served its purpose. was left 10 fall OF its
own weight.
