Mary Yeomans. an English woman, now
! resident in California, is developing a
profitable industry in catching butterflies
She had some knowledge of butterflies
when she went to the Pacific Slope. One
day a flock of pansy like butterflies hover
ed a moment over her, and then new up
the mountain side. She thought she re-
/ cognized a specimen only known in tine
higher Alps, which are very rare and con-
seduently valuable. She followed these
| honey loving beauties up the mountain,
and captured a goodly number Of them
She copied one in water color and sent the
sketch to London. After a considerable
wait she received word to send the butter
hies, for which she received for the TWEEN

who came from France TO study the in

much about insects and was most enthus-
iastic over her enterprise. Miss YeoHans
finds great demand for beetles as well as
butterflies.
The latest fad thai has overtaken the
Parislennes in regard to their dessous is
to have jeweled hooks and eyes to their
corsets. Petticoats are also kept in place
by a large bejeweled hook.
Carriers, instead of slipping on with elias
tic, are clasped with q gold or enamel
hook and eye, beset with jewels and much
ornamented with bows of ribbons and
lace.
The sleeve of the moment-whieh. by the
way. is no sleeve at all, consisting of a
chain or two, or a mere nothing of a
band of WORCESTERSHIRE long gloves

through the shoulder strap. and clasped
with a gold tassel.

raids and rubies, knotted and allowed to
hang to the feet, are being prepared.

Have you seen the latest? The semi
made skirt? When a woman can buy a
bodice lining all cut. stitched together
and boned and a semi-made skirt, as she
can. the modiste may as well hide her d.
minished head in silence. This latest idea
in skirts, called the semf-made skirt, as
told above, is tailor-cut and tailor-stitch-
ed, all put together ready to. be finished
around the bottom and hung on a band
over a drop skirt lining. The skirts can
be had in the fashionable gray, TAM, black
or lark blue: are cut after the very new
est and most popular model, and can be
had in several sizes. so they can be
adapted to any figure. Could convenience
further go? They are comparatively rea-
sonable in price, too.
Too many women who find themselves
growing stout as they approach middle
life yield to the inclination to take less
and less exercise. If they own a carriage
they are apt not to walk at all. Carriages
are useful often. and agreeable always,
but women should supplement their con-
slant use with plenty of walking, which
is natures exercise. and must not be en-
tirely cut of. The enthusiasm of car
rage people for golf-playing and other
athletic sports has been most valuable to
them.
Fashion has ordained that this should
