been spent on the concert platform.

the prettiest imaginable. white, smooth,

Her dark hair is cut in short curls.
parted on one side. and her skin is fair
and fresh. Her face has boyish look.
and it is decidedly gentle and mobile
She has but one great enthusiasm. and
that is for work. She practices but lit
tie now-only when preparing her pro-
gramme for concert tour or on the
days when she is to play in public.
Her best efforts are directed toward
composition, and the playing of the
piano is with her secondary thing"

ment. Over this is put dress that is
petticoat and stays, bodice and skirt,
all in one.
The method used in making these
combination garments is simple. A
regular boned though very narrow and
very soft pair of stays is first made out
Of single thickness of silk. This is
fitted on to the uncorseted figure first,
and then to this are added the shoulder
and back pieces, which are accurately
nodded to the form. Then silk petit
coat is fitted to the lower edge of the
stiffened lining and then the general
foundation. The effect is admirable,
for instead of having on pair Of
heavy stays and over that well boned
bodice you are placed into one garment
which combines all.

Two Handy Pockets.

This annoyance can be done away with
if one has in her gown small pocket

This can be made either triangular,
square or round in shape. The small
bit of lace is tucked into this, and the
edges peep over the top of the pocket.
Another pocket does away with the
rolling up of the handkerchief and put

The Contented Pansy.

There is story told of a certain
king who had large garden and one
day heard all the plants and trees
talking together. They were all sad.
The oak murmured because it could
not bear sweet flowers. the rose la

cious fruit like the vine. and the vine
was sad because 1t had, to cling to a
wall and could cast no shadow of it's

"And might as well die. as can

rose.
And the vine, more respondent than
all, groaned YEARLY:
"What possible good can do in the
world?"
Then the king looked round and saw
gay little pansy, which looked up
and smiled. while all the other plants

let the lady grasp the piece under the
handkerchief. which she imagines is

the lady to drop the 'coin." 1t will be
distinctly heard to fall in the glass.
Then say "Prestov' and ask the lady to
remove the handkerchief from the

More Than lac .a.gained For.

One evening when a travelling circus
was on it's way to q large town the
proprietor resolved to make halt for
few hours at village some two or
three miles from the town. So an
agent was sent on in advance to the
village to secure a favorable field for
the rest by the wayside.
Noticing large and suitable field,
he sought out the owner and told him
he would like to turn something out in
the field Tor an hour or SO before going
on to the town and concluded by ask
ing how much he required for the use
of the field.
"Well.' said the farmer, II suppose
half crown won't hurt you"
"That," was the ready reply, will
do very well. But perhaps you don't
mind taking a crown" an offer the
somewhat astonished yeoman was only
too glad to accept.
Fancy his surprise when, a few hours
afterward. herd Of elephants, doz-
en- dromedaries and about 200 horses
and ponies had not only been turned
out into the field, but were fairly wip.
ing the heritage out of existence.
That the farmer was furious goes
without saying, but the circus proprie-
tor pointed out that he had received
twice as much as he had asked for
! something to be turned out for an hour
or two.
"But," roared the farmer, more irate

= white Sea Bird Instead OF . Crown.
A curious headdress was worn by the
young czarina of Russia at q ball not
long ago. 1t was whole white bird
o species of gull from the White sea-
open winged but not very large. Its
eyes were of splendid rubies, its claws
were diamonds, and its beak was pink
coral. 1t was marvelously becoming,
ornament and made its wearer look
like the heroine OF Scandinavian
fairy tale. The gown which this orna-
ment was designed to accompany was
Of cream white velvet, opening over a
skirt Of curious, flmy, sulphur tinted
lace. This lace Is made in the imperial
palace by half dozen old women, the
only survivors Of the numerous audi
ence that lived on the steppes near
Archangel So splendid costume is
rarely worn by the young czarina. She
dislikes display, and in st. Petersburg
her style of dress is called "ostenta-
tious simplicity by the frill loving
Russians. She wears dark velvet
gowns, severely made and unrelieved
by jewels, when she holds small levees
She does not care for decollete gowns
and seldom wears rings or bracelets
her hands and wrists s'are not worth
while attracting peoples attention." so
she says. How few women of lower
station and fewer Jewels ever think
and act SO sensibly! The braceletted
woman with thick wrists and the
square, short fingered hand loaded
with rings is about as ungraceful an
object as one could wish not to meet.

How to Cause a Coin to Disappear
In q Glass of Water.
The object of this trick is to cause a
half dollar piece to apparently melt in
a goblet Of water held in the hand Of
any member of the company. All that
Is seen is the glass of water, the coin
and a large white handkerchief prcf-

glass the size and thickness of the coin.
Select some lady to hold the glass of
water. Take the coin and hold it con-
spicuously between the thumb and
first finger Of the right hand, first con-
cealing the piece of glass in the palm
of the same hand. From the nature of
the glass it is easily concealed, and
dexterity in palming is not necessary.
