is female. The lady who has the privf-
lege of changing her sex in a new life
must, therefore. feel highly fiattered
by the favor of the immortals.
There is no litigation in the halls Of
judgment. for no soul dreams of dis
putting the Precious Records" The
ledgers of Hades are kept most pune
tiliously, and as the sacred text re-
marks impressively, there is no de-
ception." By way, however, of pre-
venting any cantankerously litigiouS
soul from raising difficulties and vast
ing the presidents time, there is q
simple but effectual ceremony 1T the
door. When received by the "God of
Fate" the soul is offered a cup of tea,
which induces 'forgetfulness." The
halls of Judgment are very severe on
suicides. unless the suicide has been
committed for some virtuous reason.
A debtor sometimes takes his life to
spite an importunate creditor. who has
to defray the funeral expenses and
compensate the family of the deceased.
The hall of judgment will decide
whether the suicide was due to op-
preston or to mean spirit of re-
venge. Unfilial conduct is about the
worst offense with which a soul can De
laden; but the most dutiful son can
not escape if he has defrauded the gov
ernment or neglected to pay taxes.
Quacks are sternly treated, but the
worst fate of all befalls the scoffers-
people who openly mock the "Prec-
ious Records" There is terrible
story of what befell certain priests
who ordered copies of the "Yu-Li" to
be burned. Liars have a very dis
agreeable portion in this world as
well as others. There is certain tenn
pie where an idol devotes itself to the
function of striking liars dead.

Charity Work For Women.

Much wrong is done in the sacred
name of charity in taking up poor
girl, giving her an undue idea of her
talents. sending her to Paris to study
singing, telling her she will be great
prima donna, and then deserving her
if she fails. 1t is just then that she
needs charity, and the person who
is able to give should investigate such
cases. Sometimes poor girl has a
superior voice, and is able to excite
envy. She is bounded out of her place
by some one who cannot sing as well
as she does.
Such a person lifted up to the high
est hopes. dropped to the lowest rung
of despair is the person to help. She
needs that twenty fairs be given for
her. Do not let her starve. The for
gotten artist who is so poor, so old,
so hungry, it is her picture which
should be raffled for. And, above all,
have the charity of the heart for those
who are attacked. There is more need
Of little kind incredulity sometimes
than for much money.-Mrs. John
Sherwood, in Harpers Bazaar.

That they are beautiful. however
never has been denied, for in all ages
they have been lauded in poetry and
song as one of the loveliest types OF
womankind.
All the cold colors belong to this
type. Those dainty, refreshing har
monies are hers, whether her cheeks
resemble the petal of rose or be of
that delicate palness so often accom-
panying flaxen hair and the blue OF
violet eye. Cold blues from dark tc
light, silvery blues that have no sug
gestion of green or yellow, chalk blues
that are dull of surface and resemble
some cold skies, all are hers to COM
mand. Pale cold green, combined
with white or gray. can also be worn,
though one should experiment with
green carefully. The wrong tint will
have disastrous result upon the hair.
Dull black can also be worn and a
very dark red, but it must be SO dark
as to show only in the light.

pie at home would like to read about
it." A better perspective of this OUT
rage may be gained when it is known
that the duty of a censor is to advise
and assist the war correspondents not
to impede their work, according to the
text books of the army. 1t was at the
same place that the story of run
ner from Kimberley was destroyed by
the censor simply because he did not
believe it, though it did not criticisa
or betray any military movements
the only ground upon which a message
can be justly refused under military
rulings. OF his treatment at Orange
river Mr. Ralph says:
1T was at Orange river that a CEN
sor kept for "a hours an unsealed let
ter written to the little general In
command of my camp at home. Oh,
how 1 boil when l think of that hu-
initiation! l was new to the British
army, and took for granted the useless
ness of resenting whatever might be-
fall me in the hands of these carelessiy
appointed wholly unfit censors. Thank
when l was to see that this petty ty-
ranny could not stand against the
slightest assertion of the greater pow
er of well behaved, intelligent corre-
spondent who knew, and meant to in
sist upon, his rights. And there lies
the kernel in the nut. The press must
send to future wars men whose asser-
tion of intelligence and self-respect is
a natural outcome of their personal
character; who when they say 1 have
the public behind me. must be seen to
be fit representatives of the best that
the public comprises"
But with the coming of Lord Rob-
erts to take command of the forces in
the field very favorable change for
the correspondents came about. His
first injunction to them was: Gen
tlemen go where you like and write
what you please. Your letters will not
be censored. Criticise whatever de-
mands it, for in that way l can learn
what mistakes are being made"

Fashions From Paris.

Some odd ideas are shown in the
decoration of gowns in Paris now. For
instance, n travelling gown of loosely
woven pale-blue plaid cheviot has
bands of white enamelled leather for
trimming. These outline the vest,
form the collar and belt, and run in
two points down ON the front of the
skirt. The lower part of the skirt
Is made in kilt form-a pretty old-fash-
ioned revival.
Stitched bands are most popular
wherever they are possible, even on
silk gowns. On duck, linens and
piques they are the usual trimming.
On a blue yachting gown the white
pique front panel has crisscrossed
bands of the same stitched on.-Har-
per's Bazaar.

Before giving specific directions for
the benefit of the amateur, it may be
as well to suggest some articles on
(which his or her energy may be ex-
pended. Ordinary pine tables, when
one can afford to buy nothing more
costly, and which in certain summer
houses and studios are as good as
anything else, may be oiled or stained,
and made altogether charming. They
can be made to look like black oak,
and If one is skilful with the hot iron
a design may be made to follow the
edge, says Harpers Bazaar.
Pure ammonia, powerful liquid,
and one to be carefully used, is the
first application made to woods. Man
ufacturers and many special work
men apply this by means of vapor
bath to which the wood is subjected
But in many wood carving institu-
lions the ammonia is merely applied
With brush, and the results are
found to be quite as satisfactory. 1t
Is just as WELL by the way, to wear
rubber gloves while one is doing this
work. The ammonia darkens the
wood, and when it is remembered that
forty years are required to bring about
the same tones when wood is left
TO time, its value to-day may well be
established. Several coats are to be
applied with the brush. An ordinary
two-inch paint brush is used.
After the ammonia has been used
the stain is applied. The ordinary
wooden backed nail brush has been
by all authorities pronounced the best
After the stain has been applied shell.
lac In many instances, especially on
oak, is applied, but this is rubbed
down carefully when dry with pumIce
stone and oil. Beeswax and turpen-
tine are used to give a further polish

To keep silver bright without con-
stant cleaning. which is injurious to
the plated articles, dissolve a small
handful of borax in a dishpanful of
hot water with little soap; put the
silver in and let it stand all the morn
ing; then pour off the suds, rinse with
clear, cold water and wipe with soft
cloth. Or try a tablespoonful of am
monia in cold soap suds-about a tea
cupful-and polish with Il soft cloth.
Silver can also be polished by rubbing
with oatmeal or little baking soda.
Egg stains can be removed from sill

Asbestos mats are a great conven-
ience to the housekeeper, besides saw
ing the polished table surface. These
are made of two pieces of decorated
linen, with an opening into which is
slipped a sheet of asbestos. These are
oftenest made round for plate doylies,
for hot plates when luncheon is served
without cloth; oval for under meat
or vegetable dishes, and oblong when
used for tray cloths or carvers.

Repainting Enanelled Furniture.

Enamelled furniture can easily be
repainted at home. In the case of
washstands it is better to use bath
enamel, as it will stand hot and cold
water without marking. If delicate
tint is wanted, such as blue or pink.
it can be obtained by mixing a small
tin of dark blue or red enamel with
a large tin of white bath enamel. To
insure success the article must be
given three thin coats and be allowed
to set hard between each coat.

WOMEN IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Fortune Awaits the Dressmaker Who
VIII Start nn Establishment There.

fortune Awaits the Dressmaker Who
Will Start an Establishment There.
There is fortune for any woman
who will go to the Philippines and
start dressmaking establishment"
says the wife of an army officer, who
has just returned from a six months
visit to her husbands post. ''She
could charge fancy prices and COM
mand them. When l was there and
wanted some new clothes / was forced
to go to a Chinaman, the only dress
maker in the place. And they do blotch
things. They can no more fit an Amer
lean woman than their native clothes
would.
When 1 first went to the islands l
was Mortified at the manner of dress
the women and young girls assumed.
They would drive out in the morning
and go shopping, wearing a garment
that resembled the Mother Hubbard so
closely that one could not tell the diff
ference except in the material used.
Their Mother Hubbards are really
works Of art. They are creations of
silk and lace ribbons, and after one
gets accustomed to seeing a woman
on the street in such negligee it really
seems sensible and quite pretty. Ma
Mia women never wear corsets in the
morning. But in the evening, when
the air has become COOL they make
up for lost time and wear lace ball
gowns, with the bodice cut very low
and most of the time without any
sleeves at all. A Philippine lady never
wears hat or bonnet in the evening
1T is quite easy to spot strangers
the minute you see them. Out they
come in the morning with tight dresses
on, shirt waists and skirts, and in the
evening they appear with large, beau
tiful hats. After they have been
there while they still wear beautiful
clothes, but their style has changed.
They wear wrappers in the morning
and in the evening they are seen in
evening dress, whether or not they
are going to any entertainment, and
they never appear with hat ON. The
only hat Philippine lady wears is
sombrero, or perhaps she only uses
parasol. This is one reason why
they have such beautiful hair.
American women have troubles of
their own when they want to buy
shoes. The shoes made in Manila no
American woman would wear. They
have a short vamp, and the whole
shape of the thing is simply horrible.
The only thing to do is to have shoes
made"

The Fagot Party.

A popular summer house amuse-
ment is called fagot party. Every
guest is required to contribute to the
evenings entertainment. A song a
recitation, an anecdote or story may
be the part chosen, and at the close a
vote ie taken on the best and a prize
awarded.

sashes still are in vogue, and, with
the increasing popularity of Empire
gowns for social functions, promise to
become even more the mode. They
may be of wide or narrow fancy rib
bon, with or without fringe, of Liberty

1t is bad form to costume yourself
for church going in such wise as to
attract attention to your toilet. Such
conduct stamps woman as being ig-
norant of the best usages of society,
and also of good taste. Nevertheless,
ones eyes will stray toward the wear
er of some peculiarly dainty or becom-
ing garments, while sitting in an atl-
joining pew. A slender young maiden
of nineteen years slips into church
with little capeline of white mousse
line de sole. 1t is small of size, wired
and bent to suit the shape Of the
head. The front is raised from off
the brow. Two rows of narrow black
velvet ribbon encircle what does duty
of very tiny rosebuds, and sprig or
two of green foliage. The rose leaves
stand up little like an aigrette.
The frock " orn with this dainty
capeline is of white organdy. The skirt
is shirred about the hips and has a
shallow founce near the hem. The
bodice has a guimpe of embroidery.
Around the shoulders is fichu of or
CANDY with a border of embroidery.
The fichu is first draped about the
shoulders and then knotted on the
breast. Long ends float downward,
diminishing in width. The close-fit-
ting sleeves are of white organdy
tucked. A narrow band of black vel
vet ribbon is tied about the waist.

Lace capes are about the most ex-
pensive garments in the way of wraps
that are seen anywhere. They can
be made possible for winter as we'll
as summer wear provided they are
lined with warm lining. They look
little incongruous at first for cold
weather, but as they are trimmed with
fur and rich embroidery in spangled
designs, they can hardly be classed
as exclusively summer garments. The
white lace wraps are made up over
accordion-pleated mousseline de sole
that, in its turn, is lined with white
satin. They are quite long. and the
lace is put on rather full, but not in
pleats, and the full beauty of the
design shows over the light mousse
line de sole. The yoke effect over the
shoulders is sometimes hidden by
capuchin hood of velvet lined with
spangled lace. There are long ends
of pleated chiffon edged with ruch-
ing. Black lace over white, with the
hood lined with black spangled lace
or blue silk with steel, makes a most
effective wrap. 1t is a style which
cannot be initiated in cheap materials,
for there is so much of the lace to be
seen 1T is necessary to have it of the
very best. The hood Is made of white
or black velvet. as desired. Black
looks better than the white, however,
although both are fashionable. These
lace capes are the most effective even
ing wraps that will be worn during
next winter.-Harper's Bazaar.

American soldiers is received here al
most daily. From all sections come re-
ports of skirmishes with bolomen and
hand to-hand conflicts between the
American soldiers and the insurgents
are very common, the Americans in all
most every instance coming out of the
conflicts with flying colOrs. 1t is rarely
indeed that the Americans are worsted,

away by tale of treachery on the part
