In the knick-knacks of dress there
are some novelties. Nine Rejane has
made blue bordered handkerchiefs the
mode. Chine glace ruffies mingled
roses are often worn in the country
now on chilly evenings with low
dresses. Uuderclothing is being made
in light cClored silks, and profusely
trimmed with lace. Wash-leather
gloves are found 10 be almost more
useful than any other kind, with no
buttons at all, made to slip on the
land. The more gossamer the even
ing wraps the more fashionable they
seem to be, and a very pretty kind has
a foundation of chiffon covered all
over with arabesque designs in ap-
pliques of silk; they are charming in
pink, blue. light yellow and peach col
or. Some of the three-quarter coats
for evening wear are made of soft
satin, with overlapping tucks from the
hem to the throat
Women who are clever will never
ignore the virtues of lace shawls:
whether III black or white they are
now invaluable; they drape into pretty
evening gowns, and they are coming
to be worn once more scarfwise or
fashioned into pelerines. In the hands
OF clever dress,naker they are worth
their weight in gold.

SIMPKINS'S HOROSCOPE.


SimplSins had ideas, but none of
them seemed to be worth much. At
least they had brought him in very
little revenue, and if rcvN nue. is not The
test of value what is?
Every now and then SimDkins would
think of something new, and if it did
not happen to be supplanted in his
mind by something newer he would
exploit 1t. He had exhibited a good
deal. off and on. and yet success SEEM
ed to elude him.
Unlike most persons who have ideas
Simplxins was never discouraged. Pro-
badly that was because his ideas were
not grand, all-absorbing ones. such
as occur only once or twice in life
time, but simply-well, notions that
come and go like waves tapping on
beach,
Simpkins was not rich, but he had
desires that way. That was one of the
reason why he had SO many ideas. He
was always planning schemes which
seemed to hold out possibilities of
wealth, and the ideas were notions in
tended to help him along.
Reading some country papers one
day-which had been brought back by
the boarder who had been away on his
holidays-Simpkins was struck by the
number of advertisements of persons
who dealt in the future-readers of
horoscopes. interpreters of signs. de-
cipherers of palms. The advertise
ments generally read something like

Mrs. John M. Glenn, one of the most
popular of Baltimore's young matrons
in society, has decided to forego all
social pleasures the coming season
and devote her time exclusively to the
comforts of the poor and the advance
ment of the Social settlement plans.
which have proved so beneficial to
the unfortunates in the tenement
house and other poo. districts.
Mrs. Glenn White touring the conti-
nent of Europe the past summer, made
a study of this kind Of charity. Before
her marriage Mrs. Glenn was Miss Ma
Wilcox Brown. daughter OF Mr.. and
and Mrs. ]. Wilcox Brown. She was one
of the founders of the Locust Point So
cial settlement, and has always been
interested in the work. Her Wedding
was one of the most interesting ones of
last spring. Mr. Glenn is son OF the
late Wilkens Glenn, and is also inter-
ested in the Social settlement propo-
sition. Mrs. Glenn's friends will en-
deavor to induce her to give up the
idea of living at Locust Point, as they
say she can be just as interested In the
work while living In more fashiona-
BILE section as she can by wholly ex-
Guiding herself. 1t is not her inten-
ton to build handsome residence on
the Poiat, but instead. she will take
some house there, in keeping with the
neighborhood Of the settlement.

SEA FLOWERS AS PETS.


The Queer Little Creatures Known as
Anemoues.
The queerest pets in the world,
says Answers, are kept in beautiful
row of clear, flashing, round glass
tanks on an upper floor of a large
aquarium. AS you approach the tanks
you behold glowing little groups of
color and artistic blending. and ming
ling of fantastic weeds and shining
stones. Then when you peer into the
tanks you see what at first seem to
you just like particularly handsome
and gorgeous flowers growing all over
the little rockeries. Some of the flow
ers look like dainty pink-and-white
and yellow and-purpie and crimson
dahlias. Others look almost like dali
Fies with lace-li'se petals. Others look
like little star-fiowers, all pure white
and perfect. These flowers are of all
sizes, from tiny ones barely large
enough to see to great ones almost
large enough to fill a saucer
But if you will watch these flow
ers" for few minutes you will jump
suddenly, for all at once you will see
one move its petals. Then you will
see another and another 90 il. Slow
ly the petals unfold or contract, with
little jerking movements. some
times twining in the water like snakes.
Tap smartly on the table on which
the tanks stand, and like lightning
all the petals will have disappeared.
These sea flowers are really not flow
ers at all. They are living creatures,
known as sea anemones.
For many years Prof. Spencer has
tended and fed them, and rne little AMI
mated flowers actually have come to
know him. When he feeds them he
puts little bit of fish on the end of
long-pointed stick, and puts it carefully
down into the water until it is near
the anemone 1t did not take long for
the beautiful things to understand it,
and whereas at first they used to with
draw their petals and shut up tight
ly when the stick approached, now
they twine gracefully and stretch their
dainty arms out as far as they can
go in order to reach it.

Never wash your bands in your
rings; it is certain destruction to them;
and never keep them on at night. II
your gloves are tight. this is very apt
to help to unset the stones, and the
stones should be overhauled from time
to time, or valuable stones are apt to
fall out. Soft tissue paper with lit
tie eau de Cologne on 1t is capital
cleanser, and everybody should keep
little box of sawd,st in which to
Cry them when they fSve been washed.
Diamonds look worse than limitation
when they are not kept clean. They
want great deal OF polishing; you
have to know who you can trust when
you send your stones to be polished.
Jewelry should never be taken off
without being rubbed with soft hand
kerchief; it is generally slightly soiled
by contact with the skin.

PEACH STONES FOR FUEL.

Substitute for Coal.

Substitute for Coal.
The great strike and the increased
cost of coal incident thereto has d.
rected much attention to other ma
terials for fuel, and Baltimore man
says a good substitute for the black
diamond is dried peach stones. The
only objection to their use is their
scarcity, which depends entirely on
the size CT the peach crop. Frank Hall,
the Baltimorean referred to. says his
family had used peach stones as fuel
for years until about three or four
years ago, since which time the supply
has appeared to have decreased.
I'VE used TO get the dried peach
stones from a Mr.. Noel who got them
from the different packing-nouses and
dried them on his place." said Mr..
Hall yesterday. Il think we paid $3.50
load for them, the load containing
about forty-flve bushels. The fuel was
used in the kitchen and gave good
results. The stones will make quick,
hot FIRE and one that will last. One
and half OF two buckets Of the peach
stones will last as long as bucket OF
coal. One has to ee careful not to all
the stove too full or there will likely
be an explosion similar to gasoline

not to know what the term meant.
Miss Dobson was an altogether
pleasant and rather attractive young
lady. and Simpkins soon found that
he was beginning to like her quite
apart from any mercenary considera-

truth when there seemed to be no
reason not to, replied: September"
