A Pretty Hair Ornament.

Perhaps one OF the prettiest Of the
fallals is a wreath of enamel, the
colors so delicately blended that while
they attract the eye they also seem
to soothe 1t into regarding the beauty
Of the workman's art. Some of these
wreaths have a diamond or bit Of paste
set in among the leaves, and the effect
is considera bly, improved, for it looks
as if dewdrop were glistening in the
soft green. For girls who are apt to
be careless in their halrdressing know
of no more charming present, says
Woman's Life, for the inevitable result
is that the hair must be dressed in or
der to enable the wreath to show to
the best advantage, and no girl can
be so lost to the eternal fitness Of
things as not to do her hair in such 4
way as to show her new possession at
its best.

Japan's First womaD's College.

Six years ago the first conference
was held In Toxic for the purpose of
laying plans for university exclusive
ly for women. Now the university Is
an accomplished fact In April, 1901,
tine buildings were completed, $4,000
having been expended in erecting
them.
The number of professors and in
structors, including those in the pre-
paratory school, is $50. Both the pro-
fessors and the students live in halls
or houses similar to the dormitorles
at various American colleges. Each
hall has its matron. The departments
are three, named after the study which
forms the basis of instruction in each,
though, of course, many other studies
are included in the general programme
There is the department Of Japanese
literature, the department of English
literature and the department of do
meStic science.-Chicago Tribune.

The day after his death she went tc

why He Was Glad.

A native Of Dublin but a resident OF
London arrived in Philadelphia few
days ago. His last stopping place
was st. Petersburg. where he spent
several weeks. He says lie is delighted
to get here again, as he is longing for
the sight Of pretty faces, which in st.
Petersburg are as rare as they are
plentiful here. On one occasion, in
company with a friend, he walked the
entire length Of the Nevsk Prospekt
-four miles, the Chestnut street of the
Russian capital, and during the stroll
saw but two pretty women. And Rus.
sian ladies, he declares, do not dress
nicely. He explained these two facts
by saying that they were mainly Tar.
tars, and was somewhat nonplussed
when Innocently asked by his cynical
listener: Aren't all woman tartars 2"-

The Newest Fashions.

Stripes rather than figures rule on
the new colored shirts.
White linen blouses, embroidered
with black are a pretty feature in
mourning dress
Wide band edges Of the lace are most
effective, and in the linen it has almost
the effect of silk.
A pretty brooch to wear with sum-
mer gowns Is of white enamel in floral
design with a small diamond centre.
Mercerized denim is one of the smart
materials for shirt waists and entire
costumes 1t Is said to wash well and
also to retain Its gloss.
In white dotted muslin is a negligee
made up over yellow silk. The lower
part of this gown is formed almost
entirely Of patterns of lace insertion.
One odd fancy in millinery is a
black and white straw hat pleated
like a checker board and trimmed with
a large rosette of white tulle and black
leaves or bunch Of small flowers at
one side.
Linen collars, the plain round kind,
a1e finished with a turnover of white
embroidered edging Of the same width
and fitting the collar snugly. The soft
ened effect thus obtained is becoming
to majority Of faces,
The regulation sandal for children is
being displaced by q low shoe made
like the ankle tie with the difference
that the toepiece is cut with small Sits
to allow n greater amount Of fresh air
to reach the little foot Of the wearer
Orange red is the color of the flowers
in Il striking muslin waist. This IL
made in pleats, with yoke of big
wheels Of a cafe au lait lace. These
also form the cuffs, and there is a
little turnover collar made from them.
The new silk hosiery is gosamer in
its fineness. and inset with lace to
make it more so. Colored hose are
displayed in great variety with shad-
owy visions of white stockings looming
up here and there. White stockings
embroidered with black are not un-
common at all, and some very decided
rumors tell us that the vogue for
white hose is coming again.

Ono of the New waists.

A pretty waist that is easily made
is one with fly front and long scarf
tie. The waist itself should not be
entirely plain, but can be made with
five narrow folds each side of the fly
front running from the shoulder seam
to the belt. The centre pleat, which
is very wide, is made separate from
the waist, and fastens on underneath
the scarf. Four wide slashes are cut
through this pleat, and buttonholed
with wash silk. The scarf, which
forms the stock, is brought down
through these slashes and the ends
left to fly loose. This centre piece
can be made Of the same material as
the waist or of linen or pique The
scarf is the most important part of
such waist. If the material Is plain
white tire scarf can be of any shade
Of soft ribbon, about four inches wide.
A white ribbon with tiny black dots is
pretty for white waist. With colored
material a scarf to match or CON
trasting shade is very effective.

For ironing, fold the shirt straight
down the middle Of the back, and iron
the body mainly straight with the

sides. Iron first through the middle,
then take hold OF the wrlst-band or

Monkeys as Coin Testers.

1t Is said that the great ape of Clam
is in great request among the Siamese
merchants as cashiers in their count
ing houses Vast quantities of base
coins are known to be in circulation in
Slam, and no living human being can
discriminate between the good and
bad coinage with as much accuracy as
these apes. These monkey cashiers
possess the faculty of distinguishing
the rude Siamese cOunterfeits in such
an extraordinary degree that no
trained banker can compete with them
in their unique avocatlon.
In plying his trade the ape cashier
meditatively puts each coin presented
to him in his mouth and tests it with
grave deliberation. From two TO Ave
seconds is all the time this intelligent
animal requires in making mp his de-
clslon. If the coin Is all right, 1t is
carefully deposited in the proper re-.
ceptacle; if base, it Is thrown violently
to the floor, while the coin tester
makes known his dlspleasure at being
presented with the counterfeit by Civ

APaper Building Fad.

A most interesting collection Of pho
tographs and etchings of celebrated
buildings is owned by New England
woman, and the development of her
idea Is here written of because 1t may
suggest employment for a great many
pleasant hours to other women.
Years ago this Yankee matron re-
ceiyed as a gift a small print of The
exterior of Durham Cathedral. She
pinned 1t up on the wall of her bed
room. Unconsciously she studied 1t
mornings and nights. One day she
chanced on photograph of the in
terror of the same cathedral. That in
terested her greatly as a mere coinci-
dence, and she managed to buy 1t.
Presently she cut from an Illustrated
paper a picture of the Parthehon at
Athens, and another Of Edinburgh
Castle.
BY that time her friends began to
notice her taste for pictures of build
ings Now she is forty years old, and
although she had never set foot outside
of her native country, she has learned
to love, and to love appreciatively, a
hundred Of the worlds most beautiful
buildings.
There are some fine etchings and
photographs In her present collection,
but the carly newspaper illustrations
have not been discarded.

The Kitchen's SURROUNDINGS.

The surroundings Of the kitchen, in
Guiding the fittings and furniture.
should be simply arranged. Some non.
absorbent paper or a tiled surface
should be used on the walls. The
woodwork should have polished oiled
surface, or should be vanished. AS
little furniture as is necessary, and
Nhat of a simple utilitarian make,
should be the rule. There must be no
rugs or upholstered furniture of any
kind, except possibly a pad to rest the
tired feet on, and this must be some.
thing so light that it is easily shaken
free from dust and cleaned. Devices
of any kind which hang on the wall
gather more dust than is desirable.
The lighter and the simpler any kitch-
en- utensil Is the better, providing it
fills the need that calls for 1t. The
most important requisite Of cooking
utensils is that they be made of a
metal that is a good conductor Of heat.

The poor house and its hospital ward
