white mousseline de sole flowing over an
under-robe of silk. The neck was finlShed
with a high collar, and the long sleeves
terminated in pointed cuff.
Dog collars are being worn again. InlS
fashion was due originally to the taste OF
Queen Alexandra and is now revived prop
ably out of respect to the royal lady. The
collars are sometimes of soft leather or
chamois studded with precious metals or
overlaid in part by delicate designs In gold
and silver. Velvet or satin ribbons, enclr-
cled with real gems or decorated with artl-
fetal ones are worn for the evening. Those
women who have long strings of jewels
twine them around their necks In such a
way as to give the dog collar effect. The
palmer leather collars are frequently sup
piled with a gold or silver slide and then
fasten at one side with a paddock, just as
the ordinary canine collar does. SUCH Or
naments- are more striking than decorative.
Ankle Bracelets.
For some time Partisan women have been
wearing ankle bracelets They are clasped
just little above the shoe top and are
about as rational as the jewel-trimmed
garters which some women pride them
selves on hiding from public view. French
women joy in the touch of coquetry to
be found in thus wearing where it ought
not to be displayed piece of costly jewelry
that would arouse the curiosity of specta-
tors aware of its existence. There is a.
self-conscious strut about the owner of
jeWeled anklets that almost invariably be-
trays the delicate secret and stirs specula-
tion in regard to it's kind and quality. 1t is

vitriol, may serve as an example Dissolve
a pound of the salt in a gallon of water at
slow heat. Six hours should suffice The
result is a saturated solution. In use,
weaken it one-half for flushing drain pipes
in fair condition. A neglected water closet
which gives out foul odors should lave the
solution at full strength and boiling hot
Open drains, as about stables or from
kitchens without plumbing fixtures, also
need to have the copperas wafer boiling
hot, though it need not be more than one-
third strength. Dry copperas scattered
through the litter Of a stable or about

prevent infection
Blue vitriol, or bluestone, technically sui

a preventive, or, rather, a gernicda Make

Here Are the Weapons which Any

Carbolic soap-Shave and melt a bar Of
mottled CASTLE soap. The melting is best
done in a water bath, so there shall be
no danger of scorching. Beat into the
melted soap, little at a time half pint
of carbolic acid solution of 80 per cent
strength. Keep on beating, with the soap
still in the water bath, for at least a quar-
ter of an hour. Mold into small cakes or
balls, and let stand a month in a dry
place. Suds made from this soap or scrub
bing with the soap itself will quickly make
an end of infection in glass, pottery and
metal. With wooden vessels burning is the
only thing. Carbolic soap suds however,
Will destroy germs in woodwork if they can
be applied to it boiling hot.
Bichloride of mercury-The king of all
antiseptics is bichloride of mercury more
familiarly known as corrosive sublimate

to call attention to the proportion of their

Earrings have been popular for soma

ing
Ennmeled Hatpins.
The handsomest hatpins are of enamel
One rich lady who married a pedigree has
had complete set of hatpins made for her
service. The head of each pin consists Of
jewel sprinkled coronet surmounting q
shield-shaped coat of arms. Some of the
pins have the shield made of single gem
with the quarterings cut upon its surface
Other pins have only enameled shields. The
intrinsic value of the set is considerable
and the workmanship has added much to
Its cost, but then, of course the pins are
individual, for l dare say the owner would
make trouble for any other woman who
copied her coat Of arms
velvet ribbons are important accessories
of dress for the girl who Is in the habit of
furnishing up her fineries for MANY, an
pearances. Sashes and stocks of velvet are
TO be much worn, as also are collars of in
sertlon threaded with velvet ribbons
Sham Petticoats.
Another idea useful for the girl of limited
means Is the new sham petticoat When
the skirt Is lifted little, the petticoat
looks like an ordinary divided underskirt.
In reality it consists of a skirt for each
leg. These leglets are fastened either inst
above or just below the knee and are fixed
securely in place. They are of silk, ruffled
and lace trimmed like an ordinary silk di-
vided skirt. OF course, the flare from the
knee Is considerable. The cheapness OF
the sham petticoats is one of their recon-.
mendations. Another is that many women
prefer to wear no petticoat with the
prevailing tight skirts yet long for some
thing that will give the frou frou effect
about the feet. CATHERINE TALBOT.

No Thames Excursions.

From the London Chronicle
London reaps the reward of it's lack Of
municipal enterprise, and it's neglect TO
support the county council in its proposal
to take over the Thames steamboat SER
vice. On Monday evening the last Of the
penny strugglers' will disembark its last
passenger and sink into its winter sleep off
the Battersea shore. And this when Sep
tember is but half over. and London looks
forward still to its Indian summer. In the
spring the Thames steamboats, started in
glory of fresh paint, and with promise Of
amendment of past sins. But the summer
brought disappointment, and bitter COM
plants of unpunctuality, incompetency, and
occasionally of utter failure. And now,
when the year is still at its best for the
lover of the open air. the Thames IS
closed highway, the only important river
in the world which has no local service OF
steamers. We trust that this may be the
last year of such municipal scandal. The
dismal failure of private enterprise should
stimulate the county council to speedy
action, and waken parliament to its neces-
sity, so that next spring may give US a
tolerable river service which shall continue
so long as the river is not icebound. We
cannot afford to waste the Thames.

PARIS September IA, 1901
The popularity Of the automobile has had
a direct influence on the kind and quality
of fall and winter coats.

I approached. Fashionable women origin
ally wanted something to slip easily over
the gown-something to protect it from
dust and weather. Naturally, to provide
that We gave them long coat. Then, too
they asked for comfort. There must be no
tightness anywhere in the garment to in
terfere with the management of the brakes
of the machines. Consequently the wrap
was made loose, So admirable did the
fashionable ladies find these automobile
coats that they started to wear them in
the street. Couturieres took up the sug-
gestion and began to make street, theater,
race, driving and yachting coats all upon
the same pldn. Now, for the fall and win
ter of 1912 you will find the smartest

Ritual of the Cure.

The ritual of the cure, and the solemnity
wherewith it is practiced by the devout, is
refreshingly humorous. At Carlsbad, If we

has to be imbibed sitting down, the sec

procession of exactly a quarter of a mile
the fourth, for all we know to the con-
trary, standing on ones head. The cele-
brated kniepp cure. one feature of which
Is to make the patients paddle about bare
foot in dew-soaked grass, and the sun
bath cure"-the latest Berlin idea-in which
the bathers sit about in the sunlight in
what Trilby would describe as the alto
gether," are some of the quainter mani
festations of the ''cure" craze.
