A ROOM For DREAMS.

"You ought to see my poppy room, y
said the girl.
Your poppy room! What on earth
is that?" asked her friend, wondering
if the girl had gone into flower. cul-
ture or was getting opium from the
buds of the plant.
1T is my bedroom" replied the
girl, laughing.
Il fell on the scheme in looking for
wall paper. The pattern that the
dealer showed me first happened to
have peoples on it-great, luscious
overgrown things, whose blossoms
were red, of course-and such a sle4 by
looking lot. They dropped and hung
their great heads as if ley were over

the spot, although the man thought
wanted it for sewing room raper
Then my idea began to grow. Why
not make the whole scheme peoples?
So l bought articles from the wo-
mans exchange, the notion counters
and fancy goods stores. / asked for
poppy ecorations-wouldn't look at
anything else-and behold the follow
ing room!
Il must say 1t looked at first as if d
red rash had broken out on it.
There is box for holding Irvine
made in the form of poppy and a
pen wiper on the desk that is cut out
of red leather and programmed with
petals and stamens, etc. You can i'm

Half a poppy makes my whisk-

together from one stem constitute a

yellow ones caught together with cat

but came across great Japanese

MY maid embroidered the pillow

bought a kimono with peoples on it.

CASE OF LocoMoToR-ATAxIA.
An Arkansas Man Who Was Long
Puzzle to Physicians.

Speaking Of the curious cases
which drift into the Office Of the spec
ialist for diagnosis and treatment,
said well-knowi physician, reminds
me of a. case which was reported to
medical society in one Of the larger
southern cities few years ago by a
nerve specialist, and up to that time
1t was the first case of the kind re.
ported. in so far as the cause of the
ailment was concerned. The patient
had spent several years In the swamps
OF Arkansas. He was In the timber
business and had been engaged In
floating logs out into the St. Francis
river, at some point below the swamp
lands. He could scarcely walk when
he shambled into the office of the
specialist, according to the report
made of the case, and showed every
indication of some spinal complaint
which interfered with the movements
of his limbs. There was jerkiness
about his gait, a disturbance of loco
motion, which was thoroughly charac-
teristic of locomotor-ataxia.
The specialist soon exhausted such
inquiries as would tend to develop the
cause of the trouble under ordinary
circumstances, and discovered that
there was absolutely nothing in the
history of the case which would ex-
plain it's origin on ordinary grounds.
A careful physical examination was
made. Nothing was found which would
explain the disturbance noticeable in
the patients walk and in the general
movement of his limbs. The special
ist became much interested in the
case, because of the evident novelty
of the cause, and he concluded that
he would make the closets possible
study of it. 1t was certainly a case
of locomotor-ataxia. There could be
no question about this. He announced
his diagnosis, but continued his in
quiry for the purpose of finding the
cause of the complaint. In his report
of the case he said he had been re-
warded for his pains, and he ably de-
Tended the position he had assumed
on the question.
The history Of the patient showed
that he had spent several years in the
swamps of Arkansas, and that he had
spent much of that time in the wa
ter, wading around, and swimming
at times when he could not wade. Here
the specialist found the only possible
explanation of the effect observable
in hi- patients movements. The pa
tient had practically lived in the wa
ter in all kinds of weather. The spe-
cialist, in reporting the case, advanc-
ed the theory that this continued ex-
posture, this continued living and
working in the water, was responsible
for the mans condition. Water, in
other words. had produced that condi-
ton which he had diagnosed as
well-defined case of locomotor-a taxia,
and as far as my experience goes, it
was the first case on record up to that
time, and the profession accepted it
as unique and distinctive in its way"

VOGUE OF THE KIMoNo.

The news comes direct from Paris
that the limono will lead as an after
noon and calling and evening coat
The Kimono is shown in velvet, all
kinds of suitable wool cloth, superbly
lined and trimmed with fur, heavy
galoons, embroidered or plain, with
the exception of elegant cording. It
is in half and three-quarter lengths.

follows the japanese outline, but is
made without shirrings at the neck.
Many types are cut high and are
finished with rundown collar.
An evening kimono is of pale blue
velvet, lined with white satin and
bordered with black fox fur. 1t has a
wide shoulder collar tufted with black
chenille and bordered with the fur.
The sleeves are very wide and are nm
ished with the fur.

MISTAKES WOMEN MAKE.

One of the Mistakes of womankind
is in not knowing how to eat. If a
man is not to be fed when she Is. she
thinks cup of tea or. anything handy
good enough. If she needs to save
money, she does it at the butchers
cost IT she is busy she will not
waste time in eating. If she is I'M
happy, she goes without food. A man
eats If the brokers' man is at the door.
If his work drives, If the undertaken
interrupts; and he is right
A woman will choose ice cream in
stead of beefsteak, and a man will not.
Another of her mistakes is in not
knowing how to rest. If she is tired,
she may sit down, says Woman's Life.
but she will darn stockings, crochet
shawls, embroider doyleys. She
doesn't know that hard work tires.
If she is exhausted, she will write let
ters, or figure her accounts. She
would laugh at you if you limited that
reading or writing could fail to rest
her. All over the country women's
hospitals flourish because women do
not know how to rest. Another mis-
take on the list is their constant wor-
rying. Worry and hurry are their
enemies, and yet they hug them to
their bosoms.

BLUSHES TATTOOED.

An interesting article upon the work
of the famous tattoo artist Suther.
land Macdonald, is contributed to
Pearsons Magazine by Mr.. Gambler
Bolton. The latest idea in the way of
tattoo work is the making of beauti-
full compilations.
A lady, tired of constantly rouging
her cheeks. applied to him for a rem
edy. and limited that this might be
found in the needles of the tatooist.
1t is typical of the man that instead
Of experimenting on others he should
have Immediately become his own
victim, and decidedly homogeneous
little patch of the palest pink can be
seen on his right cheek, just below
che eye, to this day, a patch which
gives him quite hectic and pathetic
invalid appearance when seen in pro-
file. For some little time he expert
monted through all shades of vermil-
lion and carmine before he hit on the
exact tint he wanted.
One can well imagine the immense
skill required for so delicate an opera
ton, as a single mark either in the
wrong spot to put to heavily into the
skin would have meant Disagreement
to the lady for life; but the experiment
was an altogether successful one, and
the fair American left his studio
bearing the freshest and daintiest of
OF compilations, one warranted not
wash off, and one that would last ner
TO the end of her days.
The news of this great discovery
must have spread rapidly, for it is an
open secret that the artist has since
then treated at his studio many so
ciety ladies who are anxious for COM
olexions that will endure.

False teeth are by no means mod
ern invention, says the Philadelphia
Public Ledger, as is proved from the
fact that jawbones of mummies have
been found with false teeth in them,
and also with teeth stopped with gold.
Indeed, the ancient Egyptians were no
mean dentists, and in Greece the art
was also practiced with much skill,
says Homes Notes.
There is plentiful evidence of skilled
dentistry among the Romans, and
many of the ancient Latin authors
have references to false teeth. There
is distinct motive of them in the ''Ro-
man Laws of the Twelve Tables" The
first part Of No. 10 prohibits useless
expenses at funerals. but an exception
is made in No. II. which permits the
gold filings of teeth, or the gold with
which they are bound, to be buried
or cremated with the corpse.
About couple of years ago an an
cient grave was discovered near Rome
It was opened, and in it was found
the skeleton of woman with COM
plete set of false teeth. admirably
made and wrought out Of solid gold.

HOLDING UP THE SKIRTS.

How few women ever attain the
faculty of holding up the skirts on
'ainy days with ease and daintiness.
Although it is the rule to wear flounc-
ed underskirts that almost touch the
ground, petticoats that reach only. to
the top of high boots have hitherto
been the rule; and on wet days these
are Still reverted to. When out walk
ing, the clever woman arranges her
skirt, and then, with one hand, or
perhaps two, she lightly lifts it so
that it falls evenly all round. This
is where the knack comes in. To hold
up a skirt on one side and let it
sweep the ground on the other is very
natural but it is not good taste and
when it falls evenly all round, and
the frills of the petticoat are almost,
if not quite, visible, the effect is
dainty in the extreme.

The resources of the milliner seem
to be inexhaustible. The game rooster
hat is the latest thing to make its
appearance on the street. 1t is safe
guess (for no man would dare to in
quire into these things) that the
rooster hat comes from Paris. The
head of the bird, looking exceedingly
saucy and very much alive, protrudes
from sort of turban dingus, the
whole creating the impression of
live rooster damned into a fancy wed

FASHION NOTES.
fashionable garnitures this season.

fashionable garnitures this season.
Black taffeta tailor-made suits were
never more fashionable than they are
this autumn.
More fullness in the back, a
straighter effect in front and hip trim
mings characterize the latest skirts.
Fullness below the elbow marks the
swagger autumn sleeve. In coats and
tailor-mades this is modified, but often
exaggerated in costumes.
The hairy stuffs of the dress world
that are best style this season are not
extreme. In fact, they are so slightly
hairy as to scarcely deserve the name.
Pink taffeta, mink and Irish crochet
lace are employed in the making of
a dream" of new nat.
The flare is entirely eliminated from
the skirt of the new walking suit.
New waists are less of the blouse
in effect and seek closer lines, yet arr
soft and not tight fitting.
The linen collar is quite passe.
Squirrel is to be one of the most
used furs of the winter.
Rich color contrasts will be very
smart for house gowns of the palmer
sort.
All the trimming is not confined to
the bottoms of dress skirts these days.
Band effects of various design are
quite popular hip trimmings.
New outer garments are to be ex-
tremely full, loose, three-quarters in
length and with very large sleeves,
full at the shoulder, very much so be-
low the elbow, but gathered in closely
at the cuffs.
While there is much talk of a re-
vival of plaid dress stuffs and I'M
doubleday sets of collar, cuffs and CIR
die of plaid silk will be much worn,
yet plain materials will undoubtedly
hold first place for autumn frocks

REVIVAL OF THE CURL.

In what direction fashions for the
hair will move we can't be as yet quite
certain. For some time the hanging
curl has been worn in a tentative
sort of way by some leaders of chic.
1t is, of course, very much in har.
mony with the picturesque spirit
that is one of the distinguishing fea-
lures Of the present modes.
Some portrait painters always per-
suade their fair sitters to the curl on
the shoulders, so that its temperance
today is more the return of an old
friend than a new feature.
