How to Remodel Last winters
Gowns and Bring Them Up to Date.

Row to Remodel Last winters
Gowns and Bring Them Up to Date.
This is the season of the year when
ne thrifty woman of moderate means
5 busy inspecting last winters dresses
and wondering what can be done with
them.
The outlook in most cases is discour.
aging, to say the least. The light
cloths, grays, violets and green's, etc,
seem hopelessly faded, especially If
they have been worn much in strong
sunlight A little advice may be use
full to the many women Of small
purses.
When a garment is too faded for re.
modelling or else one is tired of the
color, rip the skirt from the belt band
and Innings Remove all trimmings
from both bodice and skirt and send
them to a first class dyer. 1t is mis-
taken economy to send good materials
to cheap dyeshops where inferior dyes
are used.
This season we have variety of coll
ors to choose from in smart walking
dresses, the most popular of which
will be seal brown and dark blue
Black, of course, is always in vogue.
To attain smart up to date effect in
walking dresses simplicity in trimming
should be observed. Plain stitching is
all the finish cloth suit requires.
For house wear colors and material
run much brighter. The dyed gown
can be remodeled either for street or
house at no great expense by band
stitching it with silk and little velvet
trimming. An artistic touch here and
there of soft lace will give a softening
effect.
For WOODEN stuff gowns for street
wear very wide and soft braids are the
ing trimming that best suits the fig
ure, and in all cases see that the line
in front avoids making point at the
knee
For stout figures the braid lines
should be vertical and graduate from
the hip, each little below the other
until the last one is the longest and
falls few inches from the hem, thus
giving a graceful effect to the figure.
There is nothing more difficult or
tantalizing to the dressmaker than the
remaking of a bodice. In most cases
it is not worth while. The blouse eff
feet, while it is in vogue this season, is
not carried to such an extent as last
winter. In fact, the pouch runs almost
to the waist line and is cut just full
enough to give the figure the kangaroo
effect, which is the present fashion.

Public Suicide Of Chinese Widow.

fuDl1c Sulc1Oe Oh a Cnlnese WIDOW.
Sunday in one of the suburbs, after
two postponements, one on account of
the typhoon and the other owing to
the floods, the public suicide by hang
ing of a Chinese widow was witnessed
by several hundred spectators. The
poor woman resolved on committing
the deed Immediately after the death
of her husband. She sold the paddy
field she possessed for $3.50 and pur-
chased some splendid clothes and a
coffin with the money.
1t was in vain, so the story goes, that
the taotai tried to brighten her by the
assertion that such visitations as the
late typhoon and foods had been
brought upon US through such wicked
ness as hers; besides, did she not know
that to take her own life was against
the law of the land? "How is it..
then" she asked. that the temple spe-
cially set apart for the worship of wild
ows intending to commit suicide should
be allowed by the government to re-
main?" All argument was unavailing
Suffice it to say the suicide came off,
as already stated, on Sunday last with
out let or hindrance on the part of the
authorities or anybody else in the pres
ence of an admiring crowd, the woman
having bedecked herself in the finest
of fine clothes for the occasionally
chau Echo.

1t is said that the vigorous athletic
training which the girls have taken up
so enthusiastically during the past few
years has added very materially to
their height, and the situation might
have become a trifie awkward for the
sensitive young man of medium size
who felt decidedly i'll at ease when
acting as escort to some sweet and
lovely girl who was several inches tall
er. The new walk, known as the
Newport stoop," however, has done
much to remedy this difficulty, for the
fair one appears to be implying deli
cate compliment and an air of solicit
tude for her companions entertain
ment by her graceful pose. The incli-
nation Of the body is not from the neck
or from the shoulders, but from the
hips, and great care should be taken
not to exaggerate the pose, for it then
becomes ridiculous.

Child Critics.

When asked by their teachers to ex-
plain and give their reasons why they
liked it the best one little girl said that
she liked it best because it was the
most ''motherly'-the baby looked as
If it belonged to the mother, and she as
if she were it's own mother, while the
baby in the Sistine Madonna looked
frightened, as if it was trying to get
away from the mother and did not be-
long to her. Here was thought which
have never before heard expressed,
and, although it was only a child's
thought, it showed thought and reflec-
ton on the part of the child who made
it.
One little boy said that he liked the
new Madonna the best because there
was more tenderness in tia remark
able criticism for child to make. Still
another boy, referring to the thought
full, faraway expression on the moth

her baby would be crucified"

An old notion revived at some late
autumn weddings is to use the brides
loaf handsomely decorated as center
piece ON the brides table. 1t is sur
rounded by wreath Of fern or smilax,
and if the cake is baked in ring
shaped loaf standard for taller green's
s set in its center. Another wedding
novelty seen, though only where the
ceremony was in country house or
church, was the use Of the chain gar
land as the bridal party approached
the altar. At one of the weddings
where this was done the chain was
rope Of yellow chrysanthemums borne
by the eight bridesmaids walking in
The rope was broken every
four feet with a pair of wreaths, and
two were attached to either end Of its
length Of twelve feet. This provided
a wreath for each bridemaid to carry
over her arm. When the bridal party
returned to the house, the chain of
rope and wreaths was used to festoon
the corner of the drawing room where
the newly welded pair received their
friends.-Harper's Bazaar.

Th . Sandwich Girl.

A young woman in western city is
adding very appreciably to an other
wise moderate income by making sand
wiches. AS usual with these Abnde-
script businesses, the occupation came
by chance 1t fell to her lot once or
twice to furnish sandwiches as her CON
tribution to one or two fairs and festi-
walls. and their excellence aroused COM
ment. Then friends coaxed her into
sandwich service now and then, till at
last she took advantage of her evident
speciality and became professional at
1t. Many of her combinations are origi-
nal, one of the moment being chopped
pineapples mixed with delicate cream
cheese, the variety that is made from
whipped cream. She does all the work
herself even to the designing of attrac-
tive little cards decorated with sea-
sonable flower, upon which she prints
in dainty script her assortment, with
prices. The success of her work I'M
doubtedly lies in the limitation which
she puts upon it-she will take no more
orders than she can fill herself, and
each sandwich which leaves her hand
is as perfect as IL it were the only one.
She finds a demand for her products
throughout the year, picnic sandwiches
being one of her most frequent orders.

Teach Girl. Homecraft.

The education of girls is subject of
interest to all thinking men and wom-
en-. In the current issue of The Ameri-
can Mother Elizabeth Robinson Scovil
pleads strongly for the education of
girls in all matters which pertain to the
welfare of home. Not only should they
know how to perform various duties,
but they should understand how the
different methods are pursued. She as
serts that the science of nutrition is as
fascinating study as can be found
and more essential and practical than
many of those pursued in our colleges.

Earrings Worn Again.

The earring question is settled. The
eZarina appeared at the French fes-
tivities wearing two huge pearls in
crusted on the lobes of her ears" This
sounds peculiar, but seems to mean
that she wore pearl earrings.
The person who records this circum-
stance adds: 81 am sorry to say that
from a distance they looked as if ink
stained little fingers had made these
two spots. but, as none of the czarina's
children can write yet, it could not be.
At second glance the two spots turn
ed out to be jewels of great beauty.
They were fastened with small claws,
the imperial ears not having been
pierced"

They HATED MEN.
Three Women Who Waged Lifelong
War Against the Steiner sex.

Three Women Who Waged Lifelong
War Against the Sterner Sex.
News comes from Vienna Of the
death Of Fraulein Marie Irrgang, who
claimed to be the champion man
hater" Of the world. The fraulein was
loyal to her sex antagonism to the last,
and in her will directed that no man
should be allowed to take part in her
funeral procession. An early dis
appointment in love is believed to have
been the cause Of Marie's hatred Of the
mere man. She was a member of a
society called the Jungfrauen Verein,
an association Of on girls and young
girls who had been converted to the
antiman views of Fraulein Irrgang.
Though the fraulein decreed that no
man should take part In her funeral
procession, she could not prevent men
from looking on, and the streets
through which the procession passed
were thronged with the male animals
she SO much detested, gazing curiously
at the unique sight The procession
was composed of an immense throng
Of women of all ages and all social con-
ditions and Of deputies from every
woman's society in Austria. But
Marie's directions were not carried out
to the letter after all, for the banner
of the Jungfrauen Verein was so
heavy that no woman could be found
who was strong enough to carry it. So
it was born aloft by one of the hated
sex, who marched along, the only man
in the procession.
Fraulein lrrgang had rival in
Fraulein Gretchen Marie Schultz, an
old maiden lady of Berlin who was
known throughout Germany as 'the
man hater." Having had an unfortu-
nate love affair fifty years ago she
vowed that she never would speak to
or, if possible, look upon man again
as long as she lived, and, being a wom-
an of wealth, she was able to keep her
vow until her death not long ago. She
bought retired house about a dozen
miles from Berlin and equipped it from
basement to garnet with furnishings
made by the hands Of women. She sur
rounded herself with band of wom-
en-, each Of whom took a similar vow
of perpetual hatred of the opposite sex,
and so skillfully were things managed
that for fifty years the fraulein neither
saw nor spoke to man or boy.
Another man Halter, and one who car
ried her hatred beyond the tomb, was
Marie Lenoir, who died in Paris few
months ago. BY her will she left her
whole estate, valued at $4,000, in
trust to two women of her acquaint-
ance holding similar views with her
self regarding men, ito be used in
waging warfare in such ways as may
ness and tyranny of man."

Tight stock Collars.

Physicians are strong in their utter
ance against the tight neckbands
which the modish girl thinks neces-
sary. Many cases of serious congestion
producing sudden fainting fits have
resulted from the practice of COM
pressing the throat in the stiff stocks
and other neckwear that have long
been in fashion. Worse even than the
stock is the swathing ribbon, accord
ing to the doctors, for this can wind
so softly and smoothly about the
throat that it is pulled more tightly
than is realized until the trouble from
impeded circulation occurs. A sudden
rapid walking, perhaps, or
anything that quickens the heart ac-
ton may prove the exciting cause to
a severe attack while the great arteries
of the throat are thus corded.

working class and the selling class
