PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR.
Some Recent Inventions Of the De-
signers Of up To Date Apparei
for the Ladies'.

Taffeta is used in some of the new
est boas. One is described as being
made of two stripes, each four yards
long, 12 inches wide and fringed all
around to the depth of little more
than an inch, and is gathered twice
through the middle. One strip is black
and one white. and the two-1re sewed
on foundation of inch-wide black
taffeta ribbon, 20 inches long. Long
ends are made of accordion plated
white mousseline de sole ruffied with
inch-wide black Chantilly edge, says
the New York Tribune.
Another charming boa that is not
difficult to make and is extremely
durable is of black taffeta only. 1t
requires a whole breadth 2h yards
long, which is cut in vandyke points
about four inches deep, on both
selvages. These are bound with mar
row black velvet ribbon, and have
three rows of white velvet baby rib
bon within the binding The taffeta
is then gathered crosswise to form a
series of puffs. which are then tucked
10 neckband IS inches long. Long
loops Of velvet ribbon an inch and
quarter wide are caught at each gath
ering between the puffs and long
ends of velvet ribbon fall from the
fastening of the boa.
The popular tailored hat is charm
ing for all ordinary wear, and is gen.
orally made of camel's hair felt
draped over a wire frame, and is fat
and broad in effect. The hat is sell
dom worn just as made, for the wear
er bends il to suit her particular type
Of face and style of hairdressing.
Bending does not hurt il in the least.
IL is made with that in view. Velvet
is much used for binding these hats,
as well as for loops and bows.
Taffeta and velvet viii be used for
many of the new long coats this win
ter, and viii be made warm by lambs

rich shades Of red, blue and green
viii be the colors employed. A hand

WHAT A swITcHMAN DOES.
uo,,o vacation THAT brings Him
Constantly in the Face
of Death.

According to writer in Century,
railroad switchman is often III peru
of his life.
s'rhe poetry of motion surrounds
with a halo those who move. The
stage-driver and the locomotive engi-
neer have a local following and are
worshiped from afar by host of ad-
mirers. 1t is the engineman who gets
the credit for the fast runs, not the
fireman who keeps the engine IN
steam. or the mechanical engineer
whose brain devised the improve
ments in the machine. The master
mechanic and the roundhouse fore
man. whose careful attention and
good discipline keep the engine IN
order, receive only a negative amount
of credit; If anything goes wrong,
they hear of it. The fireman comes
in for some of the glamour and glory,
for. like the conductor and brakeman,
he runs on the road The men who
switch the yard are also among the
elect. for their vocation brings them
constantly in the face of death A
.switchman' to the rank and file is
not the .switch-tender' who merely
throws switches for approaching
trains. A 'switchman throws
switches but not in any fixed looa-
tion, and more distinctively he cuts
'em Off (uncouples cars), goes after
'em' (sets brakes), and ties 'em to-
gether' couples cars). lie is as art
full dodger of flying cars as Is his
pony (switch engine) of seemingly
innumerable trains. The head switch
man is carried on the pay rolls as a
yard conductor but the men cling
TO the old appellation Of foreman or
pony conductor His assistants to
whom his word is law, arc officially
designated yard brakemen,' an APP
propriate title, which has failed thus
far to supplant the good old-fash-
isned term helpers

WASH THEIR NECKS.
That lis what the Nova Scotinns DO
when They Take n spirituous
Drink.

Slang that is prefectiy familiar 10
the feature Of one locality Is often in
terpreted in even nearby region in
a totally different way from that
which is intended. This was well illus
trated one day lately, when man from
Boston and a man from Nova Scotia
met in a hotel and were introduced
by a mutual friend. After a little
talk the friend left them, and. having
had no time 10 discover kindred in
terests, the conversation sagged pain
fully. says the Chicago Tribune. At
length, breaking long pause. the
Nova Scotian said:
'Wouldn't il do you good TO wash
your neck?
''What's the matter with my neck?"
exclaimed the Bostonian. flushing a
fiery red, "and what's the matter with
You that You ask such a question? I'd
have you know. sir. consider il an inn
pertinence-an impertinence. siri"
"Gee!" exclaimed the surprised Nova
Scotian. Il did not mean TO offend
you. had no idea you were one Of
these teetotal temperance cranksi"
''I'm no temperance crank, either"
retorted the Bostonian, now doubly
offended and surprised also
"Ain't you?" queried the Blue Nose.
"Then why did you get so mad when /
asked you 10 take a drink?r
"Asked me to take a drink" almost
shrieked the man from the Hub.
"You-asked me? When?"
Surely did," said the Nova scotian.
ASKED you TO wash your neck. you
know. On the inside. you understand.
With good liquor. don't you see? Not
on the outside. Of course. Ny remark
was not intended to hint that an ap-
plication Of water to your skin was
needed. An invitation to wash the
neck is only our Nova Scotian way of
asking a man to irrigate the dust of
travel out of his throat. VIII you join
me. now?"
Don't care II do" said the molli-
fed Bostonian.

about six inches wide. and the waist
on each side of this was trimmed with
stitched bands of panne applied dag
onally from arm to belt. The flare OF
the skirt was defined by two stitched
bands of black panne.
Many of the gowns by fashionable
dressmakers have waists that open IN
the back and are perfectly straight in
front, with a point. The skirt in
many instances is put on the belt,
with the back fullness confined in
small box plaits flowing away from
the waist. Art nouveau embroidery
is frequently used, and chenille also
in delicate tints is applied in embroid-
cred designs.

ing the sharp-faced young man at
the foot of the stairs of his innocence
of wrong intention, he would proceed
up the steps to the second floor,
where he would encounter q barred
door. instead of the wide flung ar
ranoement of earlier in the day.
Here he would be interrogated by
second snarp-faced young man. On
satisfactory assurances, the stranger
might pass through the stinglly
opened door, which would be immedi-
ately closed and bolted after him.

PROPER SHOES FOR COMFORT.
Some Points which should BE Care
fully Observed in Pur-
chasing.

An unsightly, clumsy shoe is not nee
essarily hygienic one. Even the COM
nonsense shoe is not suitable for all
feet. The foot with the Spanish arch
is positively i'll at ease in common
sense shoe. The arch of the foot misses
its support. But there are any num-
Der of shoes made upon lasts which fol-
low the natural contour of the sole of
the foot and yet curve TO and support
the arch and offer a moderate heel,
says the Ledger Monthly.
Plenty of space should intervene be-
tween the toes and the end of the
shoe. The instep should be held with
gentle pressure, as otherwise there
will .be too much friction over the toes
and corns, and bunions will be the re-
suit.
The sole should be broad enough so
that no toe overlaps another. If this
has occurred through past errors it
may frequently be remedied by placing
a bit of cotton, felt or corn plaster
between the toes to aid in keeping
them in position.
A slender foot is assuredly more at
tractiye than broad one, but if ma
ture has denied you that gift, she has,
undoubtedly, bestowed another; so,
philospohically, fit your broad sole to
your broad foot and revel in the com
fort of it, rather than try to emulate
what you never can possess and grow
wrinkled and bad tempered in the
fruitless effort.
High heels throw the weight of the
body forward and tend to break down
the arch of the foot. They displace the
center of gravity and put pressure
upon bones and ligaments not con-
structed to bear il.

HIGH STAKE CRAPS.
A PIunger Who Found No Diicuity
In Losing $4,000 at the
Game.

The downfall of the cashier of a
prominent national bank is ascribed
to his fondness for playing the game
of craps. Craps is about as widely
misunderstood a game as any in
dulged in ON either side of the water,
saws the New York Herald.
The popular impression is that 1t
is the pastime solely of the news
boys-preferably the colored news
boys-who congregate on otherwise
quiet corners and shake dice. That
craps is about~as big a game as was
ever invented is not generally known.
Possibly the confession by the cash
ier in question that he has recently
lost $4,000 playing craps may cause
the laymen to regard the game with
more interest.
The origin of craps is "shrouded in
mystery" as the police reporters
would say. 1t first came into promi-
nence, however. in the south, where
il was the favorite of the man and
brother. Gradually its fascination
spread to the paler gamblers, and in
due course of time it was graduated
from the pavement to the parlor-
that is to say, the gambling parlor.
The pennies of the newsboys have
now given place TO the dollars of the
more pretentious children of chance.
There are houses in New Orleans,
Fort Worth. Dallas. Atlanta and other
parts of the south given over entire
ly TO this "pastime." And its popu-
larity has now reached New York.
At Saratoga, during the season,
many thousands of dollars change
hands in response to the uppermost
indications on the six-sided dice. Men
in evening dress, be-diamonded and
wealthy. crowd around the crap ia
bles and throw for enormous stakes.
In New York city crap houses are
plentiful. Over on the East side they
are thickest. Usually they are to be
found over saloon. If a stranger
were to visit the room overhead dur
