Collar Trimmings.

Cloak and coat collar are very much
trimmed on the inside with shirred
silks. The shirringa have tucks so
as To give them a full and becoming
surface. and increase the collar
warmth, also.
This suggests at once n desirable
way 10 render the collar OF a cape or
coat needing to be furb!shed up bit.
II Is also a serviceable idea 10 copy
the new high collars, which have the
novelty OF having one part imposed
upon the other In this way.
Instead OF the high collar in one
piece that we are familiar with. the
first collar Is only about half It's for
mer height. but a fitted farlag upper
section Is added. as the fitted bottom
tiounce Is added To a skirt ON the very
same principle.
This upper part Of the collar ia
ruched on the edge. and sometimes has
a double silk ruiile. standing up on tho
edge OF which there Is some other mar
row edge trimming, This all makes
for a high. dressy framlng-in OF the
face. and Is most comfortable during
our winter winds.

A Prediction as to the Saloon.

William L Wardwel, the leader OF the
Prohibition party, in New York State.
said recently:
''I think / need make no apology for
introducing the liquor question at n serv'
ice of this kind. While the churches are
taking one man out of the gutter. the
saloons are putting half dozen INTO It.

In one respect, too. the liquor haDi,

years. AT fashionable receptions it Is
.;urprising to see how many women, ard
even young GIRLS, are to be seen drinking,

receptions, have to estimate how much

they only had to estimate on the numbec

museum filed with instruments of torture
knives, racks, thumbscrews, and the
"est. These terrible instruments were all

women. We look at them in awe. and
are thankful that we live in a different
age. We wonder, too, how men could ever
have been so brutalzed as to infiict such
awful suffering as came from the Use of
those cruel mechanisms
And so, 1t seems to me, there will be,
: some future age. a museum to illustrate
the present power of the saloon. There

~ men leaning against the bar, and spend.

homes Of those men bare of every comfort,
the pawnshop where their wives pawn
their very clothes to secure bread for the
children that their husbands neglect.
There will be the hospital, the almshouse,
the jail-a veritable chamber of horrors.

How to Dress.

The very latest idea is to dress to
suit the furniture in your room-or.
vice versa, TO furnish your rooms, to
harmonize with your dresses. Thus, if
your drawiug-room is decorated in
shades of rose, your gowns for home
wear must be in similar shades.
Whether we are to refurnish our rooms
when we want to change the color of
our gowns, Dame Fashion does not
say. But anything for novelty, no
matter what the cost
Until a woman reaches the age of 30
she may wear just what she pleases in
regard to colors, style. and shape OF
garments After that age she must be
more careful. and give little thought
to her complexion and figure before de-
Gliding upon her gowns. After 10 still
more Judgment Is needed, especially in
colors. Well preserved women who
desire to look young make mistake
when they array themselves In bright
colors in the daytime. At night vivid
tints may not he unbecoming. but worn
in the sunlight they aecentuate every
mark of age.

Awoman's Duck Farm.


The chicken farm is thoroughly ex-
plotted occupation for women. but the
duck farm has the comparative merit
of novelty. Miss Frances e. Wheeler,
of a little town in New York state.
is the proprietor of the farm, and finds
it u paying investment.
Miss Wheeler was a stenographer,
but too steady work at the typewrit-
er caused her hands to become dis
abled for some time, and it became nee
essary to do something else. The little
home near Lake Champlain was on
the banks of tiny river; and not far
away was large summer-resort. Dis
covering that the hotel found it diff
cult to procure fancy ducklings, Miss
Wheeler saw her opportunity, and in
stalled an artificial incubator. The
first season 300 ducklings were sup
piled to the summer resort. This sea-
son more than 1900 have been sold.
The present plant" comprises three
incubators, each of $50 eggs capacity.
Miss Wheeler has done much of the
work herself. having only one man to
help her, and attends to all business
details. The ducks are fed with such
cleanliness and special care that they
command fancy prices because of their
superior flavor.

Cuitivaiing Aitractiveness.

A woman can make or mar her at
tractiveness. She can, by an utter dis
regard of hygienic laws, and a neglect
of toilet accessories. lose entirely that
charm of face and form that nature OBJ
viously intended should be hers. II
will do no woman harm to know that
a few drops of soothing lotion win
transform a pair of rough hands ITO
soft. white ones; that systematic care
OF the complexion will keep il smooth
and ward off wrinkles. and that an
eagerness to read clever books and
to know things. and a lively interest in
the current events OF the day will
brighten the eyes as nothing else can.
except 1t be the sympathy OF the man
she loves. The woman possessing this
knowledge is far more charming and
attractive than she in whose path no
beautifying whims have ever come.
And the woman who applies this
knowledge is the one who will develop
into the entertaining. interesting
grandmother of the next generation. as
dainty and as youthful as was the
mother of the past generation.

New Feather BOas.

There is an entirely new departure
in feather boas. The new boa is a sort
of mixed affair, like all fashionable
furs and neck trimmings this year.
The upper section is made of the or
thodox ostrich feathers, but this only
reaches about to the bust and from
there down the boa is subdivided into
a mass of tails of irregular length.
These are made OF short pin feathers
from the breast or stomach of the bird
and are ornamented at the ends with
feather balls and tassels. Sometimes q
black ostrich boa is trimmed with
green and black cocks feathers. Gray
is still the favorite color, but a new
shade of russell promises to be much
worn with the stylish castor and cafe
au lait" gowns.

Girls Schools in France.

Since 1880 6S colleges for girls have
been established in France. Before
that time there were no municipality
supported schools for the higher edu-
cation of girls. OF the 6S institutions
48 are lyceums and % are colleges.
The lyceums all take day pupils, and
there were S431 enrolled last year. The

Manual Training for Girls.

A girl may begin to study manual
training after the excellent kitchen
garden system; she will enjoy the set
ting of tiny tables and the hanging out
of dolls washing, and the making of
little beds, and at the same time she
will be learning neatness and order,
accuracy of touch, and dainty way OF
doing housework. Sewing, too, that
discipline through which every girl
must pass, may be redeemed from
drudgery, and made a pastime if it is
regarded as a part of an education in
handicraft, and taught so as to awaken
an interest in it. The old way used to
be to set girl a daily task of seam;
later, to teach her to cut out and make
garments for herself of stiff muslin,
which she usually moistened with her
tears. Today teacher is found who
gathers little group of children and
gives them regular lessons hemming
is done on one square of cloth, back
stitching on another, and overcasting

even, in company, robs them of half
their terrors. 1t is not so important
that a child should know how to make
garments as how to sew If she
knows that. the making will come
later. But it should never be forgot
ten that sewing is not the only form of
handicraft with which a girl should be
familiar. She, like the boy. should
learn to make things of wood and
leather and metal for the development
Of both head and hands.-Harpers
