Other Useful Models.
A superb house gown for an elderly lady
is shown in the third design. This is
made Of black panne, in a sort Of robe
model, that, folding back at the shoulders
In revers of lichen gray or lavender moire
edged with white lace, falls gracefully
away from a petticoat of sequin-spotted
net over gray or lavender satin. The
puffed undersleeves, topped by turn-back
cuffs of the moire. are also Of the Sc
quined net as well as the gathered vest.
On the straight neckband, which shows a
becoming edge of the black panne, touch

This costume will be largely reserved by
smart women to wear in their own homes,
as with it's flowing lines it is essentially
tea gown in effect, but 1t may be worn at
outside functions. If other materials are
preferred than those here employed, black
satin and point d'esprit will realize hand
some results; and If the wearer is one of
those sweet apple-cheeked elderly women
who love color, made in the same way,
gray and pink brocade over a flmy petit
coat of gray net, will be found charming.
Old ladies are not as somber in dress
nowadays as they once were. The world
may blame them for it and say, at her
age" but for my part there is nothing 1
love SO much as to see some fine elderly
woman clinging to the lovely tints of
youth. We are old soon enough, heaven
knows, and in these coquettish grand
mammas we may discern a pleasant forget
fulness of the fact. So let us encourage
their sweet weaknesses.
The BoIero Redivivus.
Like the voice of the turtle, the call Of
the bolero ia again heard in the land and
considering how very becoming are its
dainty details, its continued popularity
is not astonishing. But fashion must al
ways do something to make You believe
you are getting new dose. so the latest
boleros run to all sorts of little tricks to
vary them from the summer styles. Most
commonly they form the upper garment
of a costume whose skirt may show no
sign Of the embroideries and stole ends
laVished on the jacket. The outdoor gown
pictured shows this modish eccentrfcity
In a material of plum and black wool,
classed under the generic head of invisible
check Just what invisible means to the
manufacturers we should like to know, as
all of these checked materials are distinctly
visible in pattern. Waving this inconsist-
ency, some Of the checked materials are
very beautiful, especially certain ones with
a camels hair softness and a surface shad-
owing of long hairs.
To return to the street gown, plum wool
spotted with black forms the skirt cores,
which are narrowly outlined with black
velvet. Velvet leaves put on in applications
appear in the embroideries Of the jacket
whose curving lower line lifts high at the
back to jauntily display white under

several parts Of the still are uncovered,
where they are hidden from the quick eyes
of the blue coated gintlemen." On dark
night the still is set up in some desolate
and forsaken corner, and always In place
where the entire countryside can be
searched with the naked eye.
In the western parts OF Connaught and
the islands lying a few miles off the coast
in the Atlantic ocean the poteen workin -
is carried on to a great extent. Here the
people have changed little during the past
one hundred years, and few Of the common
conveniences Of modern civilization are
known. An instance Of this backwardness
Is Illustrated above, where a woman sits
grinding oats for poteen in Quern, the
same crude mill that was used in the Holy
Land In biblical times, and Is still used in
that country. The Quern Is simply two
stones fitted together. A hole in the top
stone receives the grain, which is prepared
for grinding by being dried over the turf
fire in an iron pot. By turning the top
stone the grain is passed through the
stones, and finally falls from the rough
sides into white cloth spread on the
ground for its reception. Nearly all the
meal consumed by the natives of the dis
tricts mentioned Is ground in Querns. the
crushing of oats for poteen being only one
Of its many duties.

A Cruel Joke.

Wilmington Star.
Two. practical jokers near Scranton,
Pa, played joke on dog the other
day, which didn't turn out to be as
funny as they thought 1t would be.
They fastened dynamite stick to the
dogs back, attached four foot fuse to
it, tied the dog to tree, fired the fuse
and then ran off to safe distance to
enjoy the fun. But the Sizing OF the
fuse scared the dog, which broke the
rope and made bee line for the two
men. They couldn't run as fast as the
dog could so they struck on the ruse OF
separating, standing still and each
calling the dog and thus managed to
keep him at some distance from each.
They could see the burning fuse and
when the fuse was about to reach the
dynamite stick they dropped flat on
the ground. The dog was about hall
way between them when the explo
sion took place. He was blown to
atoms, but the other two brutes escap
ed unhurt.

A Peanut Party.
fIousekeeper.

Housekeeper.
At an evening party given not long
ago, games, which we're played with
peanuts, furnished source of amuse-
ment. The company was diveded into
two parts by choosing sides, leaders
having been previously appointed,
after which the divisions formed into
lines facing each other. As many pea
nuts as could be conveniently held in
both hands were given to each of the
ladies', who poured them into the open
palms OF the person standing next to
him. In this way the peanuts were
passed down each of the lines and back
again, the side whose leader was first
to receive again his quota OF peanuts
being considered victorious.
Six peanuts were then placed In
row upon the floor and the members
of each division were in turn allowed
to attempt to place the peanuts in
chair several yards distant without
dropping them. They were not to be
touched with the hand, but were to be
lifted and carried separately with a
case knife. The task was rendered
difficult by remarks which were made
encouraging on the one SIDE and such
as we're calculated to produce failure
on the other.
The lady and gentleman who prov
ed the most successful in this contest
we're rewarded by being bIindfolded
and seated in chairs facing each other,
each one given a saucer of shelled pea
nuts, and allowed 10 feed one another
by means of spoon.
When the merriment which this
produced had ceased, peanuts were
PASSED to the entire company. Othel
refreshments were served later In the
evening.
