Psttiooats From Pnri..

The group of gorgeousness in petit
coats shown in the large engraving,
straight from gay Paree, illustrates
to what extent they carry the elabora-
ton of trimming, of which they are
so fond. Knife pleatings, appliques,
frills, ruches, lace, ribbon and the
silk itself, all find place on these
chef d'oeuvres of lingerie. Silk is the
textile invariably used by the women
of Paris for their underskirts for ordi-
nary wear, and for state occasions and
for high toilets very rich brocades.
In shape they follow the trend of
the fashionable outside skirt, having
very narrow cores and a not exag.
gerated fare from the knees down.
The latest ones close on the side. A
broad fiounce is the most usual trim
ming for their bottoms, sometimes
graduating from the back and some
times straight around. Knife plating
is most used for these founces, and
in some cases this is done at inter
walls, leaving space for an embroidered
or lace inserting or applique.
Incrustations of velvet or silk, as
shown in one of this group, are also
very fashionable. They begin on the
hounce and extend halfway up the
skirt,

The variety in Door Knobs.

Door knobs are now made Of iron,
and they are still made in consider
able variety of shapes and sizes of
various kinds of wood. There are
also made door knobs of glass. These
are now produced in greater variety
than formerly. They are made in
smooth and in cut glass, and some OF
them, simple in design as they may
be, are beautiful. Glass door knobs
cost up to 81 pair. But while door
knobs are made and sold in all these
various materials, yet the prevailing
knob in city use and the ono that
would be found, in one grade and
quality or another, in most of the
city's dwellings would be one of
bronze.
Among the hundreds of varieties in
which door knobs are made there
may be found not only knobs in various
conventional forms, but knobs made
in conformity with architectural styles
and historical periods. For all that,
door knobs are not infrequently made
to order for single houses from de-
signs furnished by the architect.

Long shoulder Eneots.

Women who have been bewailing
the too terrible trying effect of the
perfectly plain sleeve, will rejoice to
hear that word comes from an au-
thentic source that there is to be lit
tie fullness in the tops of the sleeves,
or a little trimming to modify the
very close-ftting effect. OF course,
this will not be generally adopted, as
yet many gowns are being still made
with the perfectly smooth sleeve top.
The long shoulder seams de riguer
now have helped to bring about this
change, and the desired result may
be obtained by running a piece OF the
material down over the top of the
sleeve, or a three-cornered cap, or
epaulettee, is used either loose or APP
pliqued onto the top OF the sleeve.
Every device is employed to give the
proper long shoulder effect and added
breadth, too. Many OF the lace
trimmed gowns have inserting car
ried over the sleeve top, ending in a
point.

about the bright sayings of their

q brand-new one about his four-year-

been safely tucked in bed after a day
OF the most fatiguing play. He
yawned while being undressed, and
was all but asleep by the time he
found himself between the sheets.
His mother none the less insisted
upon his repeating the prayer of
childhood. He started sleepily, re-
quiring prompting at the beginning
of every line. Drowsiness had nearly
won the mastery by the time that he
had obediently got as far as "take my

Best Exercise For neduciug plesh.

The Turkish bath is, according to
expert authority, a lazy and not al.
ways sure way to get rid of super
fiuous fresh. In fact, the enforced
quiet of two or three hours which
should follow the properly taken Turk.
ish bath is apt to nullify the loss of
weight by the profuse perspiration.
To be preferred to the hot-air or hot
box bathing, according to the same
authority, is a system of exercise that
similarly induces perspiration, and at
the same time tends to produce muscle,
the real enemy to fat. Probably the
best and simplest exercise is walking.
This does not, however, mean drag
ging around in clothes that grid the
waist, neck, arms and corsage to the
point Of structure through poorly
ventilated shops. A brisk tramp in
the open air in light, easy clothes,
with head erect and chest thrown out,
is the way to get the real benefit Of
the exercise of walking.

A WIndfall.

The wealth of family living down
towr was increased in a sudden and
most unexpected way one day. The
story reads much like fiction, being of
the too-good-to -be-true order, but is
backed by facts. A great deal of the
worlds goods had already fallen to
the family's lot, so that the tale can
not be made picturesque with words
telling how starvation had been
stayed. The head of the further-en. .
riched family is q widow, whose
father, long since dead, had been q
successful business man and EN-.
ployed numerous men. The widow
was visited on the day in question by
a priest from local church, who
stated that he came to ,eturn money
that had been stolen from her father
forty years ago. All the priest would
say was that the money had been
given him by the man to give to the
rightful owner. He turned over to
the surprised woman $1700, and
stated that the stolen sum was 1915,
the balance representing interest.
When the amazed recipient asked
whether or not the man could easily
spare the money, the priest replied
that he had become rich. 1t is sup
posed that the man had been one Of
the employees of the woman's father,
and that he had kept track of the fam
lily for many years, with the purpose
OF some day paying back the money.
The widow had no previous knowl-
edge of the robbery .-Phila delphia

Battle Betweena Fox Terrier and "A Snake.

Battle Betweena Fox Terrier and Il Snake.
A fox terrier belonging to Deputy
Sheriff James Smith, an attache of the
District Attorneys office, of Roch-
ester, N. Y, had an encounter with a
black snake on Smiths farm, mile
out of Brighton, the other day. Mrs.
Smith went out to the barn to close
one of the doors, and on coming back
saw the snake lying across the path.
She ran to get stick, and just then
Gyp, the fox terrier, came bounding
out of the house. Gyp seized the
snake by the body near the head and
the snake wound itself about Gyp's
neck. Mrs. Smith returned with q
stick and tried to help the dog out,
but could not get in blow that would
tell. Gyp finally sank down exhausted
in the roadway, and at the same in
stant the snakes coils slackened and
it dropped dead. Gyp, after painting
fer few moments, got up aud was as
well as ever. The snake was five feet
six inches in length.

just because it is so very new and

undoubtedly be short.lived and scant-

of the season. Combinations OF pink
