why Rubbers Are Considered "Good
Forln.'''

For1n.'''
There was time, not so many
years back, when it was not quite
fashionable to appear too robust. A
little languor was considered rather
becoming in young woman. But
that day has passed. The pale, droop-
ing, indoor girl has given way to the
riding, walking, golf-playing girl
Health has received the seal of fash
ion.
And everything that conduces to
health is now good form. For instance,
in the matter of wearing rubbers. A
few years ago good many women OBJ
jected to wearing rubbers, on the
ground that they detracted from the
trim appearance of the foot. But
everybody knows that nothing else
ruins the health as quickly as wet
feet, and the only possible way to have
dry feet-especially in winter-is to
wear rubbers. So rubbers have come
back into style as Indispensable to
good health.
The added fact that rubbers are now
so much more shapely and graceful in
their lines than they were a dozen
years ago, and that they are now made
in such infinite variety. has served, OF
course, still further to increase their
popularity. -Harper's Bazaar

Hidden in a Woodbox.

There is an article in st. Nichola
by J. ,H. Gore, on Gliding Places in
War Times" The author tells Of
house in Virginia that was on "de-
batabe ground, where every precau-
ton had to be taken against soldier
raids.
In such an exposed place company
of scouts, or even regiment, could
appear 50 Unexpectedly that it was
necessary to keep everything out of
sight. Even the provisions for the
next meal kad to be put away, or be-
fore the meal could be prepared
party of mauraders might drop in and
carry off the entire supply In the
kitchen woodbox of large size stood
by the stove. 1t had a false bottom.
In the upper part was ''wood dirt, q
plentiful supply of chips, and so much
stove wood that the impression would
be conveyed that at least there was a
good stock of fuel always on hand.
The box was made of tongued and
grooved boards and one of these in
the front could be slipped out, thus
forming door. Into this box all the
food and silverware were put. No
little ingenuity was needed in making
this contrivance. The nails that were
drawn out to let this board slip back
and forth left] tell-tale nail-holes. but

TWO GRATEFUL WOMEN
Restored to Health by Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
"Can Do MY Own Work."

Mrs. PATRICK DANEHY,
\ West Winsted, Conn, writes:
! "DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that write to you of the
benefit have derived from using your
wonderful Vegetable Compound. Twas
very ill, suffered with female weak
ness and displacement of the womb.
Icouldnot sleep at night, had to walk
the floor, 1 suffered SO with pain in my
side ar small of my back. Was trou-
bled with bloating, and at times would
faint away; had terrible pain in my
heart, a bad taste in my mouth all the
time and would vomit; butnow, thanks
to Mrs. Pinkham and her Vegetable
Compound, 1 feel well and sleep well,
can do my work without feeling tired;
do not bloat or have any trouble
whatever.
II sincerely thank you for the good
advice you gave me and for what your
medicine has done for me-"

edge of yoke. A standing collar
covered with tucked velvet finishes
the neck. The sleeves fit the arm
closely, being shaped with upper and
under portions, stylish pufs bsing
gathered and arranged at the top.
The wrists are trimmed with cross
lines of narrow velvet ribbon, which
decoration is repeated just below the
puffs of sleeves.
The skirt is shaped with four cores
that fit at the top and fare prettily at
the foot. Gathers adjust the fulness
in back, and the top is sewed to lower
edge of waist. The three evenly
spaced rows of velvet ribbon are ap-
Piled to form a pretty pointed outline
in centre front.
Very many charming combinations
of material and coloring may be sug-
gested by the mode. The bertha
could be all of velvet with guipure
applique border, and the yoke and
collar covered with all over guipure or
the dress may be all of one fabric, the
yoke and collar being covered and the
bertha outlined, with rows of ribbon,
plain or frizzed.
Serge, cheviot, cashmere, yelling,
broadcloth or other wcolen fabrics will
trim durably with braid, while silk
materials may have insertion or ribbon
as decoration.
To make this costume for girl of
eight years will require two and one
half yards of material forty-four inches
wide.

form small circle, and then go round
the entire skirt. The waist is tight
fitting, with the fulness drawn in at
the belt, and is trimmed with bands of
velvet put on as though to outline a
bolero jacket; over the shoulders are
ruffies of the cloth--double ruffles, one
shorter than the other-and the sleeves
are close fitting. On the waist are also
round gold buttons, and at the throat
is soft tie of wine-colored silk. This
gown has much the princesse effect,
but is made with separate skirt and
waist.
Gray cloth gowns are very fashion
able, sometimes made only with the
gray, and in other cases relieved by
the trimming of some contrasting
color. A very graceful gown, cut in
princesse style, is of the lightest shade
of gray, trimmed with bands down the
front of white cloth on which are
smaller bands of deep blue velvet.
The way in which these bands are put
on is quite different from anything that
has as yet been worn. The front of
the gown is perfectly plain, at the
throat is a large bow of blue velvet,
and the sleeves are finished at the wrist
with two bands of the velvet, blue and
white The hat worn with this is a
pale gray velvet trimmed with rosettes
of velvet, two gray ostrich tips, and
exaggeratedly large Jet pins stuck
through the velvet rosettes. The muff
with this gown is of gray chinchilla.

these were filed up with heads Of
nails, so that all the boards looked
just alike. remember once q soldier
was sitting on this box while mother
was cooking for him what seemed to
be the last slice of bacon in the house.
She was so afraid that he would drum
on the box with his heels, as boys
frequently do, and find that the box
was hollow, that she continually asked
him to get up while she took a piece
of wood for the fire. 1t was necessary
to disturb him number of times be-
fore he found it advisable to take the
proffered chair, and In the meantime a
hotter fire had been made than the
small piece of meat required.

ti'listss re- syss. wsth %ss Thompson's Eye Water
An Argument.

1t is the part of every householder,
or any one in authority, public or pri-
vate, to carefully consider orders be-
fore they are given. But after they
are issued it would be suicidal to all
government to argue out the matter
with employe, servant, or child. From
the nature of things, they cannot judge
the necessity or worth of the COM
mand it is their part to carry out.
Many funny stories are told of fresh
ly trained soldiers and sailors, to whom
the thought was new that their first
virtue was implicit obedience. One
such tale dates back to our Civil War,
and is told for truth by one who over
heard it. A sailor of one of the big
gunboats of the time was notorious for
his lazy habits, as we'll as for his in
genuousness in finding excuses for his
careless ways. While seemingly hon
est, he was often hauled up for repri-
mand or punishment.
The captain, passionate man and
a believer in stern discipline, lost pa
tience with Tom, and when the fellow
was brought before him for the third
time in enc week for some neglect of
work, he said, angrily,
'What-again, Tom?"
"I'm not here of my own will, sim
began simple Tom.
And poor Tom, finding his efforts tc
speak were cut off, at last said, resign
edly:
"Well, captain, have it your OWL
way. 1 didn't come here to argue
with you, sir!'
And after that Toms unsympathetit
comrades called on him every day il
his imprisonment, which he may have
deserved, but scarcely understood
and told him that they ''did not come
to argue with him"
And while Toms story sounds alb
surd, it is true that many of us are jus
as foolish, and take just as long tt
learn the beauty and strength of ODE
dience. .-Harper's Bazaar.

Bats as Pets,

When bats will eat either flies or
raw meat one can keep them as pets
as long as may be desired, and very
curious and interesting they are.
I remember keeping one in my
childhood which became very tame
and amusing, writes correspondent
of the Trenton IN. J. American.
1 used to catch flies for it, and it
consumed at least forty bluebottles
daily. This fact shows us how use
full bats are in keeping insects down
during the summer. Old trees which
have hollow trunks are often the
homes of colonies of bats.
One of the most interesting of the
family is the long cared bat, which
rests with its head hanging down
warG1.
A moment or two after alighting it
folds up its long ears and places them
nearly out of sight under it's arms, and
then the little creature looks like
mere ball Of gray fur.
When on the grounds bat can only
scuttle along in very awkward fash
ion, as if ON hands and knees, and finds
great difficulty in taking fight from a
level surface.
/ have sometimes watched bat in
my room, where on warm summer
nights they occasionally pay me visit,
and observe that it generally makes
its way to curtain and climbs up by
its hooked wings until it is high
enough to dart off into the air.
Bats should never be wantonly
destroyed, for they are perfectly harm
less and extremely useful. They carry
on at night the work that swallows
are doing throughout the day-clear-
ing the air of millions of flies, gnats
and moths, which would otherwise be
torment to us and very injurious to
the farmer and gardener.

Stylish Costume For a Girl.

A very new and stylish combination,
by May Manton, is shown in the large
engraving in stone gray and rich red.
The gray novelty wool goods is strewn
over with polka dots of red velvet or
chenille. The yoke and collar are
of machine tucked velvet that is
bought ready tucked for this purpose.
The bertha has facing of plain red
velvet, its lowest edges being trimmed
with three evenly spaced rows of mar
row red velvet ribbon to match the
skirt and sleeves. A sash of satin
backed velvet is tied around the waist.
The waist is arranged over fitted
Innings that close invisibly in centre
back. The full front and backs are
gathered top aud bottom and applied
at round yoke depth, the yoke being
faced with tucked velvet. The pretty
bertha is shaped in square outline,

worn, and the silks must be soft and
pliable, or they have no style. Fleur
de velours make beautiful gowns, and
the old-fashioned armure and otto
man silks are coming into favor again.
The prettiest of all the fabrics for a
dressy gown is the new crepe de
chine, as glossy as satin. To be sure
it costs three, four OF five dollars a
yard, but then this is an extravagant
age.

April Ladje s Home Journal the chief
points Of attraction" He SAYS" are
the mounds or hillocks that rise in
gentle slope from the lawn ia various
parts Of the grounds. Their sides are
richly carpeted with soft thick. grass
ana it is here that the little children
roll their eggs. They Chamber up the
hillside with their baskets, the little tots
crawling mp on hands and knees, and then
turn and roll their eggs one by one down
the green slope. But the children do not
confine themselves 10 rolling eggs. Many
Of them take more pleasure in sitting A.
bout in groups and picking eggs with one
another. This is done by striking two
eggs together on their points. The one
whose egg is broken in this encounter is
the looser ana gives up his egg to the
other. Preparatory to an encounter each
little fellow tests the hardness Of his epg
by knocking it against his teeth. If il
can stand this test it is considered good
one for picking, and the owner sallies
forth with broad grin, confident of suc.
cess. The boy who owns a goose egg or a
turkey egg is a prince among his fellows
Occasionally such boy appears. In all
probability his shoes are torn and his
clothes are torn, but he could be no
prouder nor command greater respect If
he were adorned with regal robes. He is
lmmeaditly surrounded and followed where
ever he goes by a band of admirers. who
adopt him as their champion and defy
any body to pick an egg with him."
