A woman's Triumphs In EIectricIt


Mrs. Ayrton. who is well known for
her researches in the field of electrici
ty. had the honor the other evening
of dining with the 800 members and
guests of the Institution of Electrical
Engineers at the Hotel Cecil. in Lon
don.
Her presence brought up the novel
question how she would be recognized
by the speakers at the dinner. The
earlier speakers said my lords, lady
and gentlemen" which sounded odd.
The lord chief justice improved on this
with MY lords, Mrs. Ayrton and gen
tlemen," while Sir John Wolfe Barry
struck out the formula, MY lords
madam and gentlemen"
Mrs. Ayrton some time ago justified
her election to membership by thor
oughly scientific essay on "The Kissing
Of the Electric Arc" a subject which
she still further investigated and on
which she read a paper in completion
of her inquiry at the recent meeting
of the institution in Paris.

There has of late been considerable trouble In

One of these is Grace Il. Locke, a prepossessing
miss of sixteen years. Her mother Mrs. Alice NJ.
Locke, during an interview on the subject said:

But at last we noticed advertisement in the

her try them. Her trouble was deep-seated and
obstinate, and at first the pills didn't to

Individuality in Hairdressing.

So far as clothes go there is Infinite va
riety. which heightens the mystery of the
fact that when you have seen one modish
woman you have seen ALL Coiffures are a
large factor in this deplorable reiteration.
And. not content with having during the
past few years worked the high note TO the
point of weariness, we are now preparing
ourselves to patiently and vigorously repeat
the operation with the recently resuscitat-
ed low dressing. Now little bit of both
would be so much more pleasing and really
only reasonable, since different shapes Of
heads and contours demand different Golf
fures. Or there is a midway dressing,
more or less classical arrangement emil
nently becoming to a certain type of wo-
man possessed of a pretty, rounded head
and hair preferably with natural wave I'm

how nature has constructed many Of us
who during the past half decade have de-
Nberately violated all these good inten-
tions by ruthless scraping up Of our hair
to the summit Cf our heads and so deliber-
ately Courted failure.
Inevitably, and rightly so. is there much
weeping and wailing and gnashing of white
teeth among those somewhat short of stat
ure over the prescribed knot in the nape of
the neck. There is no denying that a high
knot adds several cubits to a curtaited
height, and at the same time imparts an
Importance and presence perhaps other
wise lacking. Indeed, this is a case in
dom in these toilet details and less abject
submission to the DEGREES of la mode, ever
lenient before a presentment that is becom-

NEW YORK. November 81 10


NEW YORK, November 81 1901.
AS the years go by Thanksgiving becomes
more and more a period for social festivity
in New York.
The more fashionable part of the world
prefers o'clock for the dinner hour, and
cut their clothes accordingly. So when
candles are lighted come the prettiest
frocks, in light materials, bare shoulders
and arms shining here and there, and per-
haps some knowing coquette showing in
her dark locks a bunch of bitter-sweet or
some other gay autumnal berry. But for
the most part these dainty evening frocks
are high necked and long sleeved, which is
perhaps accounted for by the fact that
country houses are not the warmest places
in the world, yet all classes love to go out
of town for the Thanksgiving feast.
Inexpensive Velvets.
Without doubt the most bewitching ma
terial that shall do honor to the joyous
bird this year is velvet, for never was vel
vet velvetine and corduroy more fashiona-
BILE as gown textures. Some of the velvet
gowns seen are ravishing enough to make
the unblessed woman break the Tenth Com
mandment every hour of her life In lire
they are an effective compromise between
the too fiaring styles Of season ago and
the severe tailor built confection.
For skirts, the much abused circular
flounce has given way to a simple gorng,
which brings the desired foot flare without
too much of it. Bodices are made with
beautiful bolero effects, which fall over
contrasting blouses, and reveal the rich
brads and applications which ornament
the jupe. Sometimes the trimmings are of
taffeta silk, put on in swirling bands in
odd detached designs round or crescent
moons diamonds or leaves. Not infre-
quently these are inserted bodily in the vel
vet, the edges of the insets being outlined
brodery.
Cont Costumes.
Louis XIV toilets are of a plainness
highly suited to their royal lines, many
of the slightly trained skirts being entirely
without trimming, and the upper garment
showing only some rich guipure en-
brodery at revers and cuffs. Such rigs
present handsome possibilities for the mid

The Wedding Cake.

Wedding cake boxes are in any design
which the bride is pleased to order, IL
she gives the instructions long enough in
advance. At present, however there is a
tasteful preference for severe shapes, with
dependence upon the best materials for
distinction.
Heavy white water color papers are
the proper sort for the covering Of boxes,
on the tops or sides of which the mono-
grams, usually of both bride and bride
groom, are blended in relief. either in white
or in gold and silver. Ribbons for tying
the boxes are of moire. taffeta or satin
The brides cake is exclusively the brides.
Whatever the amount OF cake previously
stored in boxes for the guests to carry
away as they pass out, there is always an
especially decorated cake among the good
things served to the guests. II is intend
ed frequently that the bride herself shall
cut this cake in the presence of the guests.

he would really have enjoyed coming, and

made. He was irritable occasionally, blunt

brown hair cropped heavily above his ears,
but the fore part of his well-molded head
was quite bald. Ingenious blue eyes,
Stubby brown mustache that hid sarcastic
lips. and bright pink spots on either cheek,
gave him an artless appearance quite out
of keeping with his profession. Graham
was the sort of a man who would love a
woman for years without telling her so.
and then wonder why she did not under
stand. Was not the fact that she was the
object of constant attention that he always
showed a desire to have her with him, suff1-
cient evidence of his feeling? 1t would be
hard for him to realize that women insist
upon word of mouth-a constant reiteratlon
of the old. old story.
Helen came out of her rever1eS with a
start. Jimmy had thrust a note into her
hand, and was speeding away, with old
Tige at his heels. Such mornings are rare
in brusque New England and not to be
wasted
Mrs. Maitland was peering into the oven
and did not notice Helen's face as she left

snapped the door. dropped weakly on the
bed and again read the note:

ing preparations? Better come out. You

Teeth Cleaning Hints

The proper way to clean the teeth is to
brush from the gums downward for the
upper teeth and from the gums upward for
the lower teeth BY this method the bris-
ties go between the teeth as well as clean
ing the front and sides. Remember that
the inside of the teeth requires more care
full cleaning than the part which shows.
The most important cleaning of the dav 10
