On the Fitness of Things.

An idea of the fitness of things can
be very successfully applied to the
purchase of stocks and collars, which,
after all, are the important feature of
the shirt waist. The chic of this kind
of dress depends so much on the right
collar and tie that it is we'll to aim for
the correct thing, since what is suited
to one kind of shirt is out of place
with another. The broad Ascot tie,
which SO many young women seem to
regard with favor, should never be worn
except with a coat or vest, which con-
ceals the ends. The bow ties of silk
with long ends are very pretty, and
feminine, too, but here care must be
taken not to have the ends too long or
the good effect is lost. The thin,
dressy white shirt waists require q
fine linen stock with embroidered
turnover edges and bow and ends
of taffeta or batiste, which, of
course, extends around the neck in
narrow band. A plain standing
linen collar, with ribbon carried
twice around the neck, forming
stock, and tied in bow in front, is
favorite way of dressing the neck; and
tucked stocks of silk, with little but
terhy bow in front and narrow turn
over collars of embroidered or hem
stitched linen lawn, are very dainty
and generally becoming. Narrow
Brussels lace scarfs tied around the
silk stocks are also very pretty. In
linen collars there are the high, turn
over variety, with round ends. worn
with simple narrow tie, and the
high band turned over fully an inch
around the top.-New York Sun.

Emperor williams Tenants.

The German Emperor, as is we'll
known, has since his accession done
all in his power to improve the con-
dition of the working classes, with the
happiest results. During his recent
visit to his new estate at Cadinen,
which is in every respect considered a
model for the rest of east Prussia, the
Kaiser was greatly shocked at the ap-
pearance of the workmen's houses on
the estate, and remarked that his COW
houses and pigsties were palaces COM
pared with these novels. He further
gave orders that the dwellings for his
work. people should be improved be-
fore his next visit, and said he hoped
that his example would be followed by
other land owners. In east Prussia
there is great necessity for improve
ment, and it is to be hoped that the
fact that the Emperor has now an es-
tate there will have q very good effect.

Death For Corn Microbes.

That little bit of rough skin on the
business side of the little toe, that un-
failing barometer and inducer of pedal
agony, the corn, is not simply the re-
suit of wearing boots too tight or too
loose, as we have been taught to be-
lieve. It has far more important
pedigree than than, and actually
boasts . bacillus-the corn bacillus.
His identity has long been hidden, but
Trappist monk discovered the ras-
cal and his complete destruction may
be looked for in the near future.
The pesky organism has been dig
nified with name, Bacillus Diaboli-
Gus, it is called. Physicians will alb
breviate that to Di. The monk of La
Trappe who found him out gives de-
tailed instructions for the capture and
punishment of the vicious mite for the
benefit of suffering humanity. The
prescription is composed of thirty
grains Of perchloride of mercury in
solution and thirty drops laudanum de
Sydenham. Place this on the affected
spot and the career of the bacillus di-
abolicus comes to an ignoble end

On one of the trolley lines leading
to a well-known amusement park they

pany people in general. Finally, just
as the car was about to resume its
journey, he called out:
''Say, Mister Inspector, you missed
me-"

the young fellow over very carefully.

Then everybody laughed, the young

The stvle in Purses,

Purses carried by women nowadays
are in fancy grains and fancy colors,
the grain OF the leather giving an ap'
rearance of shading, while the edges
are bound in plain shade Of the
same color or in a contrasting color.
These purses are all made in the com.
mon patterns, with change and bill
compartments.
There is revival OF an old German
purse, which is big fiat pouch when
opened and has fat top frame in
four pieces. The sides of the purse
are fat and bound with straight
pieces of steel, while the leather forms
bag hanging from these side steels.
The end steels are half as wide and
are hinged to the side pieces, folding
across the top and meeting in the
middle with a clasp like change
purse.
When opened wide the whole purse
is spread out about eight inches long.
There is place for everything and
everything in its place in one big bag.
It's bulk, when filed with the usual
array of memoranda and samples, must
. be detrimental to its popularity, as it
must be held clasped in the hand, aud
it makes pretty good handful.
The popular purse, however, is OF
plainest and homeliest type. 1t is
the ''fnger purse, named from the
women's habit of carrying it with the
fingers thrust through the big retain
ing strap across the front. This purse
is mad of three plain strips of rough.
ly finished pig skin, making two COM
partments in the simplest form. One
is gusseted for change and the other
is flat pocket for bills. The flap OF
both comra tments slips through o
strap across the front piece. The
whole is sewed around the edges with
harness stitching, with no attempt at
ornamentation.
To individualize this purse there
are big brass initials, the same as are
used in ornamenting trimmed
sets of harness. These are furnished
with retaining pins on the ack, which
are easily thrust through the leather
and pressed down fat.
There is something rich about the
appearance of these simple purses,
and their oldity has made them most
popular among the young folk. New

Women In India.

Many natives of India are now Join
ing with Europeans in attacking the
system of child marriage, and social
reformer has come forward with
carefully prepared set of rules for the
education of girls, which, it is said,
''if duly observed, will be found to be
of great advantage. For it is thought
that by education reform will come,
and the seven million married girls
not yet i'll their teens have plenty of
time, even in the midst of their dom
estic duties, to devote to their les
sons. The social reformer advises
their instructors to proceed on these
lines: Don't teach the girl any Ian
guages useless to her life. Don't
teach her work which she will have no
occasion to do. Don't waste her
precious time in imparting knowledge
which she will have no occasion what
ever to use. Don't try to teach her at
school what she can better or more
naturally learn at home. These and
some others of an equally homely
kind are the rules which the Indian
social reformer lays down for the
anticipation of the native girl. But
it is open to doubt whether education.
even on sensible lines, is sufficiently
powerful to break down caste preiu-

What Saved Him.

A young artist had presumed to fall
in love with the daughter of wealthy
ship wner. 1t was long before
the dawn of aesthetic taste. The pro-
fession of artist was looked upon as
merely an excuse for idleness.
When it became known that the rich
ship owners daughter had encouraged
the suit of painter society was
shocked. The young man had talents,
no doubt, but they were talents of 0
sort that did not count in those days.
One day friend entered the ship
owners house, and the women of the
family-the young lady's mother and
sisters-begged him to demonstrate
with the obstinate Emily and save the
family honor.
''The family honor!" said he "What
has Emily been doing now?"
'Doing!"answered the full feminine
chorus. "She's going to disgrace us
all by marrying the artist
"Pooh! Pooh!' was the quiet reply.
"The fellow isn't enough of an artist
to make it anything of a disgrace.
The women were indignant, we are
told, but it is pleasant to know that
when the wealthy ship owner heard
the story he was so amused that he
withdrew all opposition to the mar
riage. -Pearson's Weekly.

Lisle Thread Gloves.


Thread gloves, having for years
been the Joy of the simple and SEN
sible, have recently been taken up
with rush by the fashionable and
rather freakish element. This is
chiefly because with their capital
suede Isle gloves the manufacturers
have achieved cotton hand covering
that fits exactly and smartly. Thread
gloves in a variety of soft tones are
very preferable to silk, and women
with pretty, plump hands and arms
wear elbow sleeved muslins in the
afternoon with flesh, pink or lilac
suede Isle gloves reaching to the
crook of the arm and end of the
sleeve. One potent argument in
favor of these hand covering is that
not only are they cool, perfect protec-
tors against sunburn, but they wash
just like Isle thread stockings.

1t is we'll known that many city

Fashion Notes.

The rage for white gowns for morn
ing, afternoon and evening use is very
marked this season.
Piques are more used than ever this
year. Those with alternating stripes
of openwork are an innovation.
Colored baby ribbon is proper as
drawing strings in underwear. The
more ribbon the fussier and prettier.
Chemisettes for tailor-made suits
are losing that stiff, ungainly effect
by the introduction of lace, insertion
and fine tucks.
Very smart and handsome are the
all-linen costumes made up in skirt
and jacket style, like the plain or fancy
piques, in simple tailor fashion.
The most economical hat woman
with limited spending money can have
is an all-black hat, aud next to this ,is
one of black and white combined.
Skirts of many of the thin gowns
are tucked down several inches at the
back, thereby giving the desired fiat
effect and some fulness at the same
time.
Very dainty and refined looking are
the gowns of gray and white foulard
silk, with trimmings of black chantilly
lace, a vest of black chantilly net laio
over rose pink, with a number of
black velvet bows set here and there
on the bodice.
Petticoats, whether of silk or lawn,
have to be very carefully fitted to
wear with the close fitting skirts. The
prettiest to wear with thin gowns is
made of white tatfeta, silk-trimmed,
with detachable lace trimmed ruffles
of lawn, which can be easily laund.

lace that will wash.

A Charming Waist.

Mauve drap d'ete, velvet OF darker
shade, white corded taffeta and irregu-
lar insertion are stylishly united in
the charming waist illustrated in the
large engraving. The pretty bodice
decoration of velvet is finished separ-
ately and applied over the completed
waist. 1t may be used as an acces-
sorry, for other waists may be worn
with low pompadour neck and short
sleeves for evening dress. The full
fronts are supported by fitted Innings
tn at close in center back, the square
yoke of corded or tucked taffeta being
applied over the lining. The collar is
of taffeta to match the yoke facing.
The two-seamed sleeves have becom-
ing fulness at the top and are ar
ranged over fitted Innings, the wrists
being decorated with bands of velvet
and insertion to match the bretelles.
The mode presents opportunity for the
introduction of three contrasting ma
terials, which is ofttimes desirable
when remodeling misses waists. The
bretelles may be of some material dec
Grated with braid, ribbon or passemen-
terie, the yoke and collar facing being
all-over lace underlaid with satin ia
white or some becoming color.
To make this waist for miss four
teen years of age will require one and
one-half yards of material forty-four
inches wide,

dices, which are, OF course, the teal
reason of the native woman's unde-
veloped state. The only European
invention which has done anything SO
far to destroy these prejudices is the
railway, and it is unlikely that educa.
tion can be really usefully employed
until the railway has made a much
further advance in its pioneer work.
Certainly the government can never
take any steps to interfere in the
thorny question of caste.-LondoD

gathered closely at the top, the full

laid plaits that meet closely in back.
This arrangement gives necessary
saddle room when mounted and be-

A deep undertaking of the material

The Latest Fad.

The latest fad with the ultra-fas

of the olden times when the red waters

fashion has substituted the daintiest
tinted waters to match the paper, hello

Foulard as Popular as Ever.

The craze for foulards has by no
means abated. In fact, as the season
advances 80 are more patterns sprung
upon the market. They are all of the
very softest, satiny order, very differ
ent from the hard combination of silk
and surah of yore. The most popular
colors are a mixture of blues and
white, but pink and black, and even
mauves, have been IN great demand.
