fiction that the lining must match the

require deeping, just as others require
to be toned rather than heightened by
the lining. You can line a yelling with
cambric or silkOlene instead Of with
taffeta. 1t is not sheer enough to

of the silk lining, as the dressmaker
will tell you, which is desirable. A
fine quality lining of cotton will prob
ably outwear one of silk, other things

A Glrl,s Errerses In RerIIn.

The average cost Of living of the
American girl student Is from fifty to
sevcnty-fye dollars n month. TO keep
her expenditures within the latter sum,
of course. necessitatcs the exercise of
rather strict economy. If this money

have taste Of all the comforts Of
life, and even of some Of its luxuries.
The lessons from the masters cost
from five 10 ten dollars each, and the

home will profit much from her week

there is nothing out Of the way in

her But most Of the current newspa.
per notices chat concern her are mis-.
taken in one Of two eXasperating par.
ticulars. Most Of them say she was
the daughter of David Lea, Of New

came the morganatic wife of the Prince
Of Schleswig-Holstein, who gave up
his title to marry her. IL is true that
she married the Prince, and that he

The black veil with one or two large

The black veil with one large dot

A case recorded in the Boston Med

II. Richardson is a remarkable exam
pie of the extraordinary feats in swal-
lowing foreign bodies sometimes per-
formed by men.
A man, aged 20 years, was admitted
to the hospital. He said that two
weeks previously, while he was In a
Respondent state, he had endeavored to
swallow his suspenders and had sue
ceeded In getting down certain por-
lions, but how much he had swallowed
he could not tell. He did not complain
of pain, but rather of discomfort I'M
der the breast while eating. The food
at times passed easily into the stom-
ach. At other times 1t was regurgitat.
ed Immediately. Nothing could be seen
In the throat. With a probe some OBJ
struction was felt.
A skiagram showed a suspender
buckle at the middle of the chest and
possibly another higher up. AS the
chief danger In esophageal impaction
is from liberation into the great YES
sells, especially when the foreign body
has sharp edges, and as fatal erosion
usually takes place in two weeks or
less, 1t was concluded that IL there
was any erosion 1t was sufficiently adj
vanced to make even the most careful
manipulation dangerous. The problem
was how TO nerform extraction with
out producing fatal hemorrhage.
The throat was opened, and with a
pair Of forceps, string attached to a
brass ring and then half suspender
with two buckles and finally third
buckle were removed. A probang was
passed into the stomach without meet
ing with further obstruction.
The wound was closed with silk
sutures, and recovery ensued.
