N Is reported that horse meat Is be-
ing disposed of in Chicago as beef and
the authorities are considering the ad-
visibility Of passing rules governing
its sale. At present it is illegal to sell
II under any name. There are thou
sands Of foreigners in Chicago that
would doubtless be glad to get the
low-priced meat, and it would make
one more way Of getting r.d Of cheap
horses that are now only burden to
their owners.
An English writer says that slow
walk does not come naturally to
horse. for a creeping gait. whether it
be in a hunter, harness, OF cart horse,
Is the most provocative Of fatigue
inst as It is ia a man. II the horse Is
IN good health. then it may be taken
AZ a certainty that the slow gait Is
the fault Of the human attendant, and
both would be all the better for an
awakening. Many slow horses and
slow drivers would get through twice
the work in day that they accomplish
now and both would be fresher at the
end Of the day. The creeping gait is
simply suicidal to both man and beast.
II the owner, groom or driver OF slow
walking horses wish % test the truth
OF the above. then let them 80 for
quarter Of a mile walk with an Invalid
and they win find that the snail's pace
has taken more out Of them than
would a FIVE miles brisk walk.

Women Have Darnlng Club.

The women of Centralia, Mo-, have
organized a darning club. Mems socks
are a speciality in their new organiza-
tion, and it has been denounced as an
encouragement to bachelOrdom.
The officers of the club are the most
expert members and they assist the
rest by showing how to mend the
worst holes. "She who cannot darn
cannot join" Is the clubs official mot
to, but exceptions have been made in
the interest of uninsTucted sisters and
the motto no longer has the force it
had at first. Meetings are held fort
nightingly and the club boasts of hav-
ing darned 144 pairs Of hosiery at q
sitting.
Members only are admitted to the
afternoon sessions, but in the evenings
admiring husbands are permitted to
attend and to watch their better halves
at work. No charge is made for the
sock darnlrg and those bachelors Of
Centralia who expect to live elsewhere
In some period in their lives are very
anxious that such useful institution
as it's darning club shall be initiated
as widely as possible.

Pofter's Linen Now Employed In De-

The embroidered shirtwaist Of port
er's linen needed but to come and be
seen to achieve unconditional surren-
der to it's excellence. Porters linen,
by the way, is another example of a
plebeian material put to patrician uses,
for the French shirt makers, observ-
ing the fine wearing qualities and good
color values of the blue homespun
linen blouses worn by the railway
porters, promptly began utilizing the
stout and simple goods for their
patrons easy little summer waists.
The linen, which is woven with an
uneven thread and other careless
work in order to simulate the ine-
qualities of the handloom, comes in
two colors: a pure rich deep blue and
a lighter blue that seems to have
white bloom on 1t. These are called
washed and unwashed blues. in imlta-
ton of the fine true color the porter's
blouse possesses when new and first
worn worn and the effect of water
and sun on it after many washlngs.
With the color and texture the sim
Ilarity ends. Most Of the smart blue
linen blouses are enriched with hand
needework, laid over the bosom only
or scattered over the entire length and
width of the garment. In many in
stances the collar and belt are made
to exactly match. On the expensive
waists this needle work decoration
serves as a substitute for tueks.
Not, however, that tucked shirt
waists are in the least losing their
vogue, regiments Of pale brown batlste
and chambry and madras waists
tucked solldly have appeared on the
counters. The newest of those are
very finely tucked and then embrod-
cred in white, or decorated directly on
the tucked surface, with pale cream
coloTed lace applications, which run
over their broad sailor collars and full
fronts.
The albatross shirtwaist, that fast
ems down the back with n row Of close
set fat pearl buttons, OF fastens up
the front only from ueck to bust, and
is put on over the head, has been
claimed by the woman who wears
short skirts. She prefers it in blue
with black satin Kaiser stock, hav-
ing the decoration done in applied
bands Of bright Oriental cotton en-
broldery. Both the albatross and the
cotton embroidery improve under the
laundresss hands,--New York Sun.

Simple Morning Gowns,

Morning gowns are most essential
now to the comfort Of every woman
who likes to be well gowned, and by
the term morning gown" is not
meant to include matinees tea gowns,
or similar loose flowing garments, but
rather trim little costumes Of cloth,
linen or cambric, as the season may
warrant, and made in simple style
without elaboration, so that they are
equally suitable to be worn in the
house or Out-of-doors. The simple
morning gown for the city should
serve for marketing, for household er-
rands, and for other utllitarian pur.
poses; but is not at all ike the plain
tailor gown, which, Of course, is quite
feasible for any morning wear out-of-
doors These gowns have, as a rule,
waists to match the skirts, although
the skirts are made so they may be
worn with shirtwaists-H -Harper's BQ-

Sweet Conceit.

There was moonlight and the waters

from a boat rocking on the bosom OF
the placid waters came the faint tinkle
Of a guitar.

low, husky tones, leaning toward the
dainty vision occupying the other end
of the boat, ''if 1 were 70 tell you that

Hints to Needle.women.

Never use long basting-tbreads, es-
pecially in the basting of waists, nor
think to save time by taking long
stitches. Pins should be used plenti-
fully while fitting a garment on the
figure, but they should be replaced i'm
mediately with regular basting the
moment the garment is removed. The
position for hooks or buttons and for
the corresponding eyes or button-holes,
should be carefully outlined with
thread in preference to marking with
pencil or soapstone.
When curved seams are to be
stitched up on the machine, fine bast-
ing-Lc., by means of short stitches
becomes imperative il the sealnstGess
would avoid puckering in her worl, If
such curved work be around the foot
OF skirt, as in the case Of farcd
ruide, the hem first should be basted,
lightly sponged, and carefully pressed
before the stitching is done. The anna
teur dressmater is sometimes troubled
over a slight bulging at the point OF
a dart In the skirt or bodice, when
otherwise the garment fits most salts
factorily. Generally this may be OBJ
waited by lightly sponging the part
in question, and pressing with hot
iron so that quick shrinking follows.
