Loose SIcevst Again.

The tight sleeve has had but brief
existence in its last revival. All ru-
mors hint that larger sleeves are on
the way, and already there Is q dis
tinct fulnesS at the shoulder. The
elbow sleeves flare more and more
and are in many cases slashed al
most to the shoulder on the outer
side, over q full soft underslceye.
The loose dust cloaks with their volu-
minous sleeves have prepared the way
for larger coat sleeves, which will be
seen on the fall and winter coats
!. Panne velvet is the niilllner's de-
cree to be the most popular material
for autumn and winter hats; and
French makers are showing wonder
fully beautiful velvet flowers, rs a
hint Of what is to be expected later.
a model hat is of panne velvet in
Jacqueminot color, trimmed with Re
naissance lace and mass Of velvet
roses. shading from darkest Jacque-
minot to In France pink.
Necktie clasps are very much In
evidence OIL the fall street costumes.
The fashionable cravnt which appears
upon at least three out Of every five
of these gowns and is most frequently
of black velvet or soft black satin, Is
much more effective when drawn
through such clasp, than when tied,
and the touch of gold harmonizes with
the gold buttons and braid which are
tolerably sure to lurk somewhere
about the gown. Flat and heavy
dead gold, dull silver or gun metal
rings are perhaps the most knowing
of these clasps; but the jewelers., in
response to the demand. are now
bringing them out in jewelled de-
signs, and in the antique gold work
that is a present fad. The latter are
good in style and a single cabulchon
gem set deeply in the gold and agree
ing with the color scheme of the gown
adds to the effect. but the heavy jew
eled clasps are a trifle too pronounced
and rob the cravat Of distinction.

The Use of Fragrant Salts.

Women Of today are not as liable
to faint as their grandmothers were,
because they dress more sensibly and
do not wenr. as tight dresses or as
tight shoes. and gloves, but it Is
wise and sensible precaution to keep
fragrant salts on hand. ANY salt
loses It's strength in short time. The
simple lavender salts are the most de-
sirable Of all perfumed salts. These
are easily prepared at home. While
you are preparing q portion Of these
salts it is rs easy to make several
bottles or yinaigrettes as one, and The
cost Is small. Procure half q dozen
small, clear glass bottles, with close
cut glass shoppers If you wish. A
pretty stopper costs very little pur-
chased with the bottles by the half
dozen, and adds considerable to the
value of the vinaigrette as gift It
is desirable that a vinaigrette be
small, so it may be easily carried in
the pocket. Vinaigrettes are often
vary elaborate, decorated with silver,
gold and even precious stones, but a
tiny bottle Of clear glass with pretty
stopper Is always In good taste and as
useful as more ornate one. To pre-
pare the salt, procure from q trust
worthy druggist half a pound of car
Donate Of ammonia and On ounce and
q half of the best oil of lavender.
Crush the two together in mortar,
or In any dish that will mix them.
Set the mixture in large bowl, which
should be put In pan Of warm water,
covered and set In a moderate oven
for about an hour. Stir the mixture
several times while 1t is heating. 1t
Is not necessary for the ammonia to
be crushed i:ne. If it Is in broken
Jumps it lasts longer. Do not get in
the foolish habit of using q vinai-
grette continually. Cases of obstinate
deafness have been ascrIbed to this
case. The salts are also said to have
an Injurious effect on the vocal cords
as well rs on the auditory nerves
when used continually. Even the
odor Of flowers, notably the odor Of
violets. has been known to cause q
singer temporarily to lose her voice.

Women as eaby Photoprauners,

Modern photography is making it
possible for the coming men and wom-
en-, who are being pictured awake and
asleep, laughing and crying, in the
bath and at play, to see themselves in
their childhood as other saw them.
Many mothers now keep an album
devoted especially to each child, and
where formerly once year, or twice
at the most, was regarded sufficiently
frequent to picture the youngsters, the
daily life from the earliest infancy to
college days Is now faithfully record
ed, Many women are taking advant-
age of this fad, and are carrying on a
thriving business as baby photograph
ers, and the multitudes and eaS<fness
of relatives and friends for baby's
picture with papa, with mamma, with
the nurse and alone secure to them no
end of patronage.

Two rrnen of Girls.

There are two distinct types of
girls recognized just now, the girl
who Is pretty and the girl who is
stylish. OF course there are types OF
the intellectual and the studious, but
when they are these they cease to be
called girls, and are given the more
dignified title of women, so the girls
may readily be confined within the
limits of the two types first mentioned. fl..
The girl who is pretty seems to have.
an invincble weapon in her hands.
She is taught from her infancy that
she is favored above all other girls,
and, alas, by the law Of natures COM
pensation, she generally grows up
without an idea in her fluffy pate be-
yond the best pose for that same pate,
and the best becoming piece of mil
linery with which to adorn 1t. vs..
The stylish girl is the one whose
clothes seem made for her alone. She
will take the commonplace hat Of her
pretty sister and placing 1t on her
modish head give it q pat or two
which will transform it until her neigh
Dor will swear it is imported. Fer
gown nav be plain and cheap, but
they are worn with an indefnable air
which makes them better looking
than the satins and yelrets which the
other woman wears with an Ill grace
Everything belonging to her. partakes
of her individuality, until even the,
everyday sailor or rough straw is dis
tinguished as It hangs on the hail
rack and the fuzzy brown cape which
she dons in wet weather looks more
perky and self satisfied than its neigh
Dor, the sealskin, which does not be-.
long to the stylish girl. 1t is some.
vague power within her which enables
her to select out Of the thousand and
one hats at the millinery opening the
very bit of head gear which will
make her the cynosure of all eyes.
She may be millionaire's daughter,
in which case she is invariably the
belle Of the season, and makes the
very best match, or she may be q shop
girl who sells ribbons and laces by the
yard, in which case her coil of hair.
is the smoothest and best groomed
looking in the days of smooth hair,
and her curled bang the fufiest and
most ethereal looking in the days of
puffed curls. She has an air which.
her envious fellow women would give
half their lives to possess, and which
attracts the admiring eyes Of all the
men OH the street when she appears.

ABOUT 100 pREr OF SNAKE.
The Estimated Length Of a Serpent Whose
pstrlfled Head and Tall Have Been Fonnd.

Ii ages gone By there were snakes
In Colorado perhaps 100 feet III length,
Curator Will C. Ferrll, of the State
Historical Society, considers himself
at liberty to make this statement, Dis
ths result Of recent discoveries made
In the vicinity Of Florence. A huge
monster has been discovered which
proves beyond perhdventure the snake
story. Near Florence, w. II. Masters,
Of Nietor, found part Of the betrifed
body of one colossal snake. The pre-
historic reptile had head fully the
slzs of ham and about the same
shspe. The exceptionally large eyes
are placed as are those Of an ordinary
snake. The stone head Is 33x36 inches.
Apiece Of The stone tail found, which
Is BE- inches long, indicates that the
reptile must have been 80 inches in
circumference Masters seems to
think: from the development Of the
tail that this particular snake was a
young one, not fully developed. In
T that case those of the same family
fully grown would be larger and much
Sldnger. In sending to Governor
Thomas the description of this i'm
portant discovery Masters says that
lie will forward sketch as soon as
possible. Ferril was asked by Gov
ernor Thomas to use every means at
his disposal to secure the specimen ut
dhce, together with as many others
from the same locality as possible.
Curator Ferril thinks that as the os-
siaed head was found in the sand
stone strata f.,re must be more speci-
mems near Mt hand. These he will at
ohce secure, If possible, and will add
them to the State collection. Mas
! ters's letter to Governor Thomas,
which sets forth the first vague and
uncertain facts in this important dis
covery, is as follows:
sii.t'Honored Sir: I have recently
found fossilized specimen of huge
monster of a very singular character,
and, thinking you were the one most
lihely TO cite me to the proper person
for further correspondence in regard
itoI the matter, ! would be pleased to
have you refer the matter to proper
authority and have the enclosed clip
ping written up In the Republican. If
I have time will send q rough sketch
OF the find. I think this Is something
not on record, and should be kept in
the State museum" m."-Dcnver Republi-

Drops Into Recollection Little Bit Over a
Visit to the OLD Home.

Visit to the Old Home.
t'Well." said the mldlle-aged man,
.tTYe been down home again on my

est time this year ever. In fact as

er and dearer, and recollectlons tend

i never gave second thought appeal
to me more and more.
"on the day 1 got there, this time,
we had cup custards for dinner. Beau
.atiful they were, too; have never
! tasted any cup custards such as moth
.er makes; and these were the best of
her make; rich and delightful, as al
ways.
stBut there was something wrong
about mfle, somehow; what, l couldn't
lat first. make out; the custard was
simply delicious, but there was some
thing wrong somewhere; and present

And when I had finished the custard

Unusual Field for "a woman.

Miss Caroline Van Brunt, secretary
of large copper company, is also one
of the directors and corporators of the
company, and is said to know more
about copper, nickel, the general
mining of ores, the source of supply,
production, consumption, tariff, state
of trade etc.. than any other woman
in this country, and probably more
than many men who claim to be ex-
perts on the subject. Miss Van Brunt
has studied the problem of rendering
copper fumes innocuous. and 1t was
largely through her presentation Of
the subject to Congress that to those
establishments requiring it was given
an opportunity to experiment further
with patent smoke consumers and
odor contractors.
