The French Dressmaker.

ApropOs of a recent para graph about
French dressmaking establishments
and their methods a correspondent
writes to ask what salaries are paid TO
the wOrkwomen and what chance an
American would have of obtaining n
position in one of these houses. We
have made inquiries and learn that
woman cutter or filter i'm one of the big
houses gets from $40 to $50 n month,
forewoman on skirts and bodies from
$50 to 500 a month and a good sales
woman commands a minimum of 500.
Some with good appearance, persua-
sive manners and knowledge of Eng
lish get as much as $3.50.
In the humber positions women are
no longer paid by the month or the
week. but by the day. so that in the
dull season the sewing woman is only
fitfully employed, and the consequent
misery is the cause OF the dissatisfac-
ton which made a drcssmakers' strike
possible. In addition TO the positions
mentioned most Of the designers for
the big Paris houses are women, as
many as 20 being sometimes employed.
Another interesting element in the per-
sODnel OF these establishments are the
models or "mannequins." They are
the girls who put on the gowns when n
customer wants TO make a selection.
They must have pretty faces. perfect
figures and an air of distinction. And
now a final word to fair readers to
whom this life i'm large Paris estab-
Iishment appeals: Experience in an
English or American establishment is
an essential, and to have some friends

The Travelling Roll.

An objection to using handsome
travelling bags and dress suit cases
when on Il journey lies in the fact that
they are usually heavy, even when I'M
filled. 4 lightweight roll" as it is
called, is n prime convenience in travel
ing. 1t is not heavy and yet is firm and
capacious. 1t opens out quite fiat and
has n shawl strap handle firmly
stitched by the saddler TO one end. The
material of the roll is waterproof cloth
resembling the Scotch plaided tartans;
it is lined with brown canvas. The
roll: undone, proves to he the size of q
mat, either % inches square or a
yard. according as you select the size.
Inside the roll holds two deep pockets,
each provided with envelope flaps
which button over them. The pockets
run the full width of the roll and are
IL inches deep usually. Between the
two pockets is a strip. like n socket, in
tended to hold two -. brellas or para
soils.
The roll is strapped up when packed
by means of the two long straps af-
fixed to the stout leather handle. 1t is
very much lighter than a dressing bag
cially TO ladies travelling. Women re
quire more articles for dressing in COM
fort than a man, and their wrists are
not so strong as his for handling suit
case or dressing bag. Hence they will

Women with whist Faces.

We have all sorts OF faces. all varie-
ties of countenances. that get their
recognized expressions from close ap-
plication TO some variety of straining
employment. Now we have the whist
face to add to the list, says the Phila-
delphia Press
1t is showing itself among the wo-
men and comes from the whist club
habit, which is rapidly growing. show
ing its strength not only at night. but
in the afternoons and even in the
mornings. associated with tea and wa
fers, chocolates and bonbons.
One expression of the whist face
though. it Is said. and is told with an
effort. is age. The women may shud-
der at the thought. but the fact re-
mains. Intense thought and daily rack
ing the memory to remember what
cards have been played cannot but
deepen the face lines and hasten what
heretofore the women have left for
time to accomplish without their per-
mission.
In the whist face you will see the far
away look. accompanied by arched lines
on the forehead. suddenly changing TO
an expression of inward contemplation,
associated with tightening of the lips.
These expressions come from an aero
batic mind under training that consists
in leaping from the first lead, jump by
jump. over each successive play, to the
ultimate effect of the next play that
must be made, while keeping the men,

Illuminated Songs.

A "sOng party" is one of the new
ideas for an afternoons entertainment.
Each member should be asked to dress
so as to represent some popular or well
known song. The amusement lies in
guessing the names of the songs thus
chosen. At n recent party Two Little
Girls In Blue" was illustrated by two
small young women dressed exactly
alike. One guest i'll the costume of
Goethe's heroine. with long braid hang
ing down her back, suggested Mar
guerite." When the name of a song has
been guessed correctly, the wearer of
that costume may take her seat. but
no one should be allowed TO sit down
until her song has been guessed by at
least some member of the party.

To Relieve RnIdnen..

mo man or woman under 30 should
be bald, for up to that time the roots
are good, and where there are roots
there can also be hair said a special
list in the care Of the hair.
Hats make mems hair come out.
They wear their hats so heavy. The
scalp gets dry. then the circulation is
gone and the hair falls out.
To relieve badness the blood must
he brought to the scalp. This is done
by opening the pores by applying hot
towels at an even temperature until
the head Is as red as n tomato. Then
the head should be massaged with the
following preparation:
BEST olive oil, three ounces; almond
oil. one ounce; glycerin. one-half ounce;
rosewater. one ounce.
Massage thoroughly with this and
then wash the head with good sham
poo and warm water. but no soap.
Then close the pores by applying cool
towels to the head.
This treatment. IL carefully and con-
scientiously followed. will make hair
grow on the most obstinate heads if
the person is not over 30 years old"
"But only men are bald. madam.
Women are never bald. are they?"
Women? Seldom entirely bald, but
their hair comes out in spots. This
treatment will relieve even spotted
badness.
Men cut their hair too often. Cut
ting hair robs 1t of its strength and
causes it to fall out"

Counting Housewives, steps.

The New York State Household Eco
nomic association proposes to discover
how many steps a housewife takes in
q day.
1t is estimated that 1000 steps make
a mile, and the proposition is to COM
pute how many miles are covered n
day by the housewife in the prepare
ton of her meals and washing of
dishes. Considering 1000 meals as the
average for the year. the mileage In
volved promises to be something stu
pendous.
Members of the association have by
no means undertaken this labor as
mere course of mental gymnastics. The
purpose in view is to discover how
often two steps might serve instead of
three and to use the statistics as
basis of reform.
a prize should be offered for the best
method of reducing the number of
these necessary steps on the part of
busy and overworked housewives. Re
versing the old saw, the man or woman
who makes two steps do where three or
four have heretofore been required de-

THE X-RAY MACHINE

Will Use the X-Ray in Exam
ining and Treating Patients.
DR.. J ALVIN HORNE's OUTFIT

A Static and X-Ray Machine-A Vail
liable Addition to His Equipment
of Modern Appliances - Used in
Treating Cases.
Rock Island should feel that its
doctors are up-to. date, and hereafter
there should be no hesitancy in the
matter OF confidence in local physi-
clans and especially so with the eff
forts of DR.. j. Alvin Horne in equip
ping himself with facilities that will
enable him to make examinations and
treat cases to much better advantage
than heretofore. While the doctor
was in Chicago recently he purchased
among a mum Der of late appliances a
static and N-ray machine with all the
modern appliances that will enable
him to use the machine in the treat
ment of many patients. With the at
tachment of set of imported tubes
and microscopes and imported Bari
UNI Platino Cy anide screens he is
able to make an examination with X
rays that is positive as to the results.
and in this way he is able to treat ps-
tients for diseases where physicians
without this machine could not al
ways locate the trouble. One of the
prip CT pal features of the machine is
it's use for the treatment of tubercu-
losis. Devoid of electrolytic action,
static electricity chiefly manifests it
self as regulator of functions. 1t
adjusts the normal action of the
heart, respiration, pulse, tempert-
ture, oxidation, secretion, excretiou-
1t increases metabolism so that a per-
son can absorb more oxygen, and the
i'm prov ement in nutrition is q vast
power for good, and alone suffices to
correct many morbid states; as govt,
rheumatism, neurasthenia, neuralgis.
anaemia and various symptomatic de-
rangements.
In the \ ray treatment of tubercu-
losis the clothing of the patient is not
removed, yet the rays permeate every
portion of the lungs and with ease ex-
poses all sides of the chest. Length
of time of treatment varies from 5 to
20 minutes.
This form of treatment has cured
great many incipient cases and ma
terially benefited great numbers of
those in the last stages of this mala-
dy. At the present time as
founding results are being obtained by
the use of the X-ray treatment.
The machine is used successfully
for the treatment of CANCER as well
as many other diseases of this nature.
RHEUMATISM is also absolutely
cured by this means. 1t is of espec-
ial value to the general practitioner,
who is able to diagnose his cases per-
fectly and then treat them for just
what the trouble may be.
1t is worth ones while to call at
DR.. Horne's office, room 81. Mitchell
& Lynde building. and examine Tho
machine and see wherJ it might be of
benefit to you.
DIR. Horne should be commended
for his enterprise in adding such
costly machine to his well equipped
Office.
