While there is tendency in every
thing in hats to lie low, the aigrettes

straight, while occasionally one is put
on with a slant. The aigrette. how

in this way.

The modern girl has grown fairly
sensible about her shoes for most oc-
casions. She takes her summer and
autumn tramps in wide, comfortable
boots, and she shops and goes about
the city on many eirands in the win
ter in such useful, stout soled shoes
that rubbers have quite gone out OF
fashion. She weakepe, however, when
she comes to select her dancing Slip
pers, and her common sense in the dali
ly wear makes her suffer more through
her vanity of the night. She still
tries to crowd the foot that has grown
used to freedom into restricting shoes
for dancing wear. You and | know
how foolish she is, and how she spoils
her pretty face with the pinching slip
pers. Nothing more quickly gives a
girl a weary, tagged out look before
the evening is half over than that her
feet should be in cruel pressure from
too tight shoes. The prettiest of toi-
lettes will not efface the haggard eX-
preston that comes from uncomfortf-
bic shoes, and every girl should re-
member this.-Harper's Bazaar.

On 1t are arranged the portions of the

two tucks mt each shoulder, thar eX-

free TO form soft fuiness over the bust.
The narrow vest portion is plain and
is caught by the buttons to the right

There are rumors that II is to be a vel-
vet season. Certainly the velvets and
the velveteens ti.at are to be seen upon
the shop counters would seem to bear
this out. Vivid red velvets are to be
used for trimmings and for whole suits
there are the darker shades.
A handsome gown of dark red vel
vet shows a skirt lightened in weight
around the foot with a wide strip of
Irish knitted lace insertion, put on
pointed in front and pointed In the
back, the back point being much high
er than the one in front. Underneath
the lace the velvet Is cut away and
dark red taffeta Is substituted. The
flare around the foot is in velvet. There
is a drop skirt with ruiile underneath
to hold 1t out.
The coat is cutaway, very low, and
buttoned over the bust with silver but
tons. The coat is cut away very elab-
crately. to show the lower part of the
vest. the front of the belt and almost
the whole of the skirt, the length be-
ing almost exclusively confined to the
tails, which are quite long.
Another velvet mode. one that will

double breasted. II is Of dark velve-

One young woman, acting on the ad-
vice of her friend adopted red as her

Striking contrasts in dress are
rarely wise, from the beauty
point of view. as they dis
tract attention from tho wearer to
the gown. The entire costume should
be so harmonized that no detail of
adornment obtrudes itself upon tho
observer Sometimes a woman is hon
est enough to admit Ito HERSELF that
she has no striking personal charm,
and deliberately Seeks to secure bril-
liancy in her dress. Such daring often
is rewarded by success. when she has
an artistic sense of color values and
relations.-Detrolt Free Press.

Mountain climbing is one of the pas
times in which women of the present

Queen Helene of Italy is a skillful
mountain climber, and in her girlhood
often accompanied her father and
brother on mountain expeditions. in
Montenegro in pursuit of game.
The usual dress of the woman noun

The Popularity of Earrings.

The demand for earrings is increas-
ing slowly, but surely. Mere diamonds
are not what is understood by artistic
earrings. These jewels must be odd,
unusual, picturesque. and IL possible,
suit the particular or peculiar style
of beauty of the wearer. The antique
shop is the place where gooG models
for artistic earrings, If not earrings
ready to wear. are to be found. Ear
rings of every kind are to be seen; Gu
rious long pendants of series of deli
cate shapes strung together in lovely
filigree. or pale ancient enamel with
the most delicate little designs paint
ed thereon; rare old paste or great
rings of seed pearls, everything the
heart can desire and much more curl
Gus and original than the mind can
imagine. There are. of course. many
French and Italian antique earrings to
be had If one searches in the best old
curiosity shops where jewelry is made
a study, but the most curious ear or
naments come from the Orient, and
are often works of arc.

DR.. Terc. a medical man of much
repute in Vienna, advocates as an
effective remedy for rheumatism the
saturating of the patients body with
the venom of bees. For the purpose
he extracts the venom. treasuring 1t
up in quantity, and applying 1t arti-
ficially in the way of punctures. He
founds this treatment on his discov-
cry that rheumatic patients do not
suffer from a bees sting to anything
like the same degree as other people.
He found that the tumefaction or
swelling that follows the stinging of
a bee does not appear in the rhumatic
patient unless he has been stung sew
eral times, while in some cases the
stinging is hardly felt. When the
patient suffers himself to be stung re-
peatedly his immunity against the poi
son of the bee becomes complete
and he feels no pain whatsoever.
What is more, he gets cured of his
rheumatism.

Traction company's New Defense.

A rather curious contention on the
part of traction company came to
light when Station Island road in.
terposed as n defense to a suit, on
appeal, that open car side bars were
not installed for the purpose of pre-
venting passengers from falling out
of cars. The plaintiff in the case had
been thrown from car while round
Ing a curve. 1t was contended by
the company that the use of the side
bar was no to prevent passengers
from falling out, primarily, but in or.
der that passengers might not enter
the car or get off on the side where
the bar was in place. AS it was not
proved by plaintiffs evidence that this
was not the case the verdict was set
aside and new trial was ordered.

Bridging q Great Canon.

In the transportation of logs from
the heart of the California timber belt
to the mills an important engineering
feat has been accomplished. A
canon on the south fork of the Ameri-
can river had to be traversed and as
1t was 1000 feet deep It was determ
ined to build a steel wire suspension
tramway. The distance across the
canon is 1850 feet. Between the
two terminal towers the space is 2,65C
feet. Two parallel cables span tho
immense gap, without support be
tween the towers. On these cables
runs cage conveying a car capable
of carrying 1900 feet of green. and
therefore. very heavy, timber on each
trip. The tower terminals are
anchored in the solid rock, supporting
the cables.
