How to Be Chnrming.

A woman can make or mar her at
tractlveness. She can, by an utter
disregard of hygienic laws and a neg
lect of toilet accessories, in the opinion
Of Home Chat, lose entirely that charm
Of face and form that nature obviously
intended should be hers. A few drops
Of soothing lotion will transform a
pair Of rough hands into soft ones;
systematic care OF the complexion will
keep it smooth and ward off wrinkles,
and an eagerness to read clever books
and to know things, and a lively in
terest in the current events oe the day,
will brighten the eyes as nothing else
can, except it be the sympathy of the
man one loves. The woman possessing
this knowledge is far more charming
and attractive than she in whose path
no beautifying whims have ever come.
And the woman who applies this
knowledge is the one who will develop
into the entertaining, interesting grand
mother of the next generation, as
dainty and as youthful as was the
mother Of the past generation.

Woman as q Wage. Garner.

As a wage Garner the American
woman adds largely to the country's
output Of energy; as a consumer she
creates two.thlrds Of the demand, with
its inevitable result Of supply; as an
inventor, designer and manufacturer
she enlarges the variety and activity
Of the worlds market; and as crea-
tor she enrches the imaginative prod
uct of the world, In all these, it is i'm
possible to divorce her interests from
those Of man, or make her more or less
than an individual with an individuals
place and power in the community. To
ask whether her elimination from the
commerce Of the world would create
greater vacuum than the elimination
of man, would bring us back to the
elusiveness OF abstract and general dis
cussion to which the American woman
can no longer be relegated. 1t IS not
as woman in the abstract, but as WON
an the individual that she is TO be
reckoned with, for 1t is as the lndl7id-
ual that she has won and that she will
maintain her place as a commercial
factor.-New York Post.

Kilt PIeated Gowns.

There is much that is chic about the
gowns that are kilt pleated, both skirts
and bodice alike, and worn with a
wide soft silk belt or sash. Some of
the light autumn cheviots in heather
shades and the soft neutral tints are
especially pretty and smart in the kilt
pleated models.

HER IDEA OF CHAMOIS.

There is a prominent doctor in
Germantown who is busy telling lit

he employed Irish servant, who
had just arrived from the |-ould sod"
Starting out one morning he noticed
his Office windows were rather dirty.
and calling Bridget he instructed her
to clean them before he returned. At
the same time he told her that he
would stop and purchase a new
with this she was to clean sthe win
dows- After he had gone his rounds
he returned to his office. CHANGING at
the windows he found them thickly
streaked with grease. He called
Bridget, and the following coloquy
took place:
Bridget. didn't 1 tell you to clean
the windows?"
Yes, sor.''
And didn't I tell you to use the
new chamois?''
Yes, sor.''
"We1, did you use it?''
"Sure, 1 did, sor.''
Let me see the chamois" said
the doctor, and Bridget promptly
brought it. Then for the first time he
learned that his wife had left the
house a half hour before he did in
the morning and had sent home some
tripe- The doctor declines to say
what happened to the chamois skin.

Only the other day there died on
DeviIS Island, the French convict set
tlement off Cayenne, the man who in
vented and patented the telegra phie
system now universally adopted in
France, and known as the multiple
transmission system. Victor Nimault,
twenty years ago, was electrical
employe of the French telegraphic
service. In 1871 he discovered and le-
transmission, on which he had been
busted for years. Almost cofncfdent-
ally a M Baudot (not an Officially in
vented somewhat similar apparatus
This NJ Baudot, being a personal
friend of M Raynaud, the director of
the telegraphic department, found
favor with that gentleman and the
Baudot system was finally accepted
and universally adopted as the better
OF the two. Victor Nimau1t brought
action against NJ Baudot and M Ray

M Raynaud. The unhappy inventor
was tried, sentenced to imprisonment
for life, and in due course was sent out
to Cayenne Twenty years having
elapsed, he was recently pardoned by
President LOubet- A subscription made
by his friends in France left by the
same boat which took out his pardon
But it arrived too late for Victor Nj

mault's system has been in use in
France for many years now; for. after
he was sentenced, it was found to be
preferable to the one adopted and ap-
proved by Raynaud, the then director
