Queen Alexandra is famous for her
good taste In dress. She is a splendid
vision, indeed, on those comparatively
few occasions on which a great deal of
jewelry and gorgeous costume are In
place, but In a general way the neat
hairdressing, the closely fitting gown
of no outre coloring. the little bonnet.
such as the princess shape to which she
chung for SO long as to bestow her
name upon 1t. are the characteristics
Of her always becoming and effective
costume. In the daytime the queen
wears but little jewelry-a Marechal
Mel or niphetos rose or two are more
frequently seen as finish at her throat
than the smallest of brooches--and
even at the theater, on a quiet visit,
she wears only a few diamonds. On
more than ne occasion | have seen
this grea lovely lady. the recog-
nized "gIas, Of fashion and the mold
of form, wear tie same gown in two
and even In three successive seasons,
for she evidently has the wisdom to be
aware that really well fitting grace
full and altogether becoming gown is
an infrequent bounty to the richest of
us and one that when secured by good
fortune, ought not to be thrown aside

How TO Preserve Furs.

AT this time of year, when muffS and
tippets and other fur goods of the win.
ter are consigned to rest for the sum
mer months. the use of little precau-
ton in their packing May result in I'M
told saving.
While it is true thai most insects
have strong antipathy 10 tobacco, CAM
phor and certain substances with q
strong smell, nevertheless such preCau-
lions often prove Intellectual in some
degree Just why it is that in some in
stances in which fur articles are thor
oughly sprinkled with snuff, tobacco
leaves or camphor the moth Is still
found in the article when again taken
out for use, while in other cases these
simple precautions prove most effective,
is question which furriers have been
unable to answer.
The fur dealers, however, realize that
1t is a fact and do not use any sub
stance of the kind, but depend entirely
upon close covering and frequent whip
ping with rattans.
In most of the fur shops and stores
in large. square pine boxes In March
and once in two or three weeks taken
out and beaten with sticks, by which
method the moth worms are brought
out and fall to the ground
Smaller and finer articles, like muffs
and tippets, are wrapped in newspa-
pers and laid in bandboxes, often with
another newspaper placed over the
box, and shut in by the cover Every
two or three days they are all taken
out, whipped and replaced in a differ
ent position. They are turned with the
"other" end or other" side up to pre-
vent mating down the fur
Sometimes the corner OF the bandbox
is further secured by pasting the paper
tightly around it, but even then 1t must
be often opened.
OF course 1t is unnecessary for the
private individual. with her one or two
or half a dozen fur garments, to under
take such extensive precautions as
those Of the furrier with his store full
of perishable goods. Nevertheless the
method be has adopted to prevent the
destruction of his furs Is undoubtedly
the best and in a somewhat modified
form. can be followed by the individual
In preference to the old time method of
camphor and tobacco. which leave the
garment with such a strong smell when
again taken out for use.
The danger begins In March, and the
war against the moth should now be
taken UP in earnest.

All well cut patterns necessitate the
stretching of those edges which occur
on bias thread of the texture to in
sure that part setting without wrln-
kle. For instance, a front shoulder
edge. to give that taut appearance we
all wish. should be we'll stretched and
should dip downward slightly. while
the back one Is eaSed to ii and either
cut straight or with II slight upward
curve The front neck edge where it
Is on the bias, is also usually a much
better fit for little stretching, which
in both cases must of course be done
when the lining and material are to-
gether.
The following rules for fitting will
be found to be reliable:
First see that the bodice is setting
well down to the waist at back. Next
pin the front lines together from the
neck to the waist. At the latter place
do not let out If too tight, as by so do
ing you Immediately alter the set OF
the darts and give a broad straight
effect, which is very ugly. Make the
arm seam, throwing the front of bod
ice more forward. Make any required
fitting at the waist before touching
the upper part, unless the bodice Is a
little short wasted, and by lowering
the shoulders a little this may be reCti-
fed. In such a case open the shout
ders and pin them temporarily toeeth-
err, fitting them properly after fitting
the waist
If too long wasted, pin a tuck all
round the waist line In the lining and
stitch 1t along each piece when they
are all separated. If there is more full
ness than is needed just in the front of
the armhole, an interlining of fine
French canvas Ghe best kind OF pad
ding will make it set quite smoothly.

TAKES THE DIFFERENCE

unquestioned. Three months had gone
by, and the talk and wonder had all
died out when blind man came along
one day He was known in various vii
lagos as "Old Hanson" He sang
songs, told fortunes and performed
tricks and WAS well liked Standing ON
the public square with n crowd around
| him, he sang songs and then asked if
Jared Burton was among the speeta-
tors. Jared stepped forward, and the
old man took him by the hand. 1t WAS
his boast that, having once heard II
mans voice and shaken hands with
him, he could forever after identify
him by the feel of his palm
This is not Jared Burton" he ex-
, claimed as he let the hand fall.
But ii is chorused dozen voices

You will believe it is Jared Burton
when l tell you so. won't you?' asked
Jared.
NO. You cannot deceive me on the
palm. You are stranger to me"
There had been an investigation and
an acquittal, but yet the blind mans
words set people to thinking, especially
as Jared himself seemed to be greatly
put out. The whole question would
have been reopened again but that he
started off for Chicago next day on
what he claimed was matter of bust
ness. He had a close shave of it. He
hadn't been gone two hours when a
sheriff from distant county came to
arrest him as one of a gang of land
stealers and counterfeiters. He was
followed, but not oyerhauled. His real
name was Charles Wright As to what
became of the true Jared Burton no one
can say, but he doubtless met his death
In some way through falling into the
hands of the gang. He had papers
with him, but how they got him to talk
and give the incidents Of his life can
not be understood. 1t was a curious
thing that another man should so close
ly resemble him and should bear the
same scars, but 1t was a fact not to be

straint have undoubtedly had a good
effect on fashion. In some cases the
queens influence has been directly AS
"serted to check a fatal blunder that
seemed to be making good its footing.

with him and asked after the mother
and sister. Farther up the street he
met n village merchant and shook
hands and laughingly said that he had
been east in search of a wife. He
walked to his house, entered and called
to the family and kissed mother and
sister and apologiZed for having wOr-
ried them as he had. He had the age,
height look and voice of Jared, and at
first the women accepted him as such.
The story he told was q queer one.
He had gone to look at a lead mine
with a view of buying, and during the
short time he was left alone he had
tumbled down an old shaft He knew
no more after that until he suddenly
came to himself one day In n town in
Kansas and found himself n tramp
The fall had produced concusslon Of
the brain. and. though treated by doc
tors, he had lost his memory and his
identity and only recovered his wits
when a constable banged his head
against a door in arresting him He
had told his story, found friends and
been assisted to reach his home.
The story passed all right with the
women for a day or two but as it got
around the village and was discussed
pro and con they began to doubt. OF
the five doctors in town four declared
the thing impossible. OF the 1900
inhabitants not more than ten were
satisfied of the truth of the story. The
matter spread until two or three coun-
ties were interested and a dozen news
papers were discussing 1t. and first
and last n good many people had their
say about it. The first idea, of course
was to test this Jared Burton's memory
about the events of his life. 1t was a
great point in his favor that he had
recognized two or three citizens at the
moment of his arrival and that later on
he had met dozens of others and made
no mistake except In one instance. He
had seemed thoroughly familiar with
the house and with certain business
matters. and while he did not write
as free hand as formerly 1t passed
for Jareds chirography. He had with
him the key of his desk; he asked after
certain clothing he had left; he casual
ly recalled various incidents. and he
had settled down as the long lost re-
turned when he learned that his iden-
tity was questioned. He promptly de-
manded the fullest and closest investi-
cation, and the doubters were ready to
make It,
In his boyhood days Jared Burton
had received burn on the foot, leav-
ing a bad scar This man exhibited
the scar Jared Burton had been bitten
on the calf OF the leg by dog. Here
was the scar of the bite. He had once
been near death by drowning. This
man told of the incident. He had been
In Chicago with his uncle for a week
he had fallen off the roof of barn; he
had been on jury in a lawsuit; he had
been robbed by a man on the highway
All these things were told over without
a mistake. together with hilndreds of
other incidents. 1t was public inves
tigation, with everybody free to ask
questions. and ii lasted four days
There were still some who carped after

In The Century Augustine Brrell
thus characterizes Gutenberg's epoch
making invention:
The invention of movable types was
the greatest dstributive invention that
ever was or probably ever can be made.
1t circulated knowledge among the
children of men and plays much the
same part in human life as does the
transmission of force in the world of
physics. 1t was marvellous how quick
ly thought was circulated even in the
age of manuscripts. A book like st.
Augustine's CITY of Cod was soon
copied thousands of times and trav-
eled all through Europe after a quicker
fashion than most printed books can
today reasonably hope to do, but st.
Augustine occupied a unique position,
and hand copying though great
trade, employing thousands of scribes,
could never have fed the new learning
or kept alive the reformation. The
age of Gutenberg was an age of ideas
and demanded books, just as our day is
a'day of mechanics and demands cheap
motion, biography and telephones. Gu

he has not returned to his home and

his mother and sister lived with him.
Boy and man. he had lived in the vii
lage for 20 years when he set out that
day on business matter. When sew
eral days had passed without his re
turn or word from him, inquiries were
made. He had arrived at the town all
right, transacted his business and then
taken train on another road. 1t was
thought he had gone away in the com
pany of stranger. but no one could be
sure of this. After ten days and still
no word lac was advertised for, and de
tectives were employed to hunt him up.
The search was not given up for three
months and then it was believed that

The worst part of sickness, frequent

The patients strength is depleted,
his system is generally demoralized,
relapses are continually feared, and
naturally.
The one thing to aid recovery is to
give the patient that which will enable
him to get strong, and at the same time
give strength direct to the different
organs of the body.
Nothing will do this like Vinol.
1t acts directly on the stomach, Gre
&tes a healthy appetite, and enables
the digestive organs to obtain the nee
essary elements to increase the weight
Of the patient and to make new healthy
flesh and muscle tissue and pure, rich,
rod blood.
The following is letter showing
where Vinol was taken and did good
