Some Beautiful Cool

n NE of the newest materials for
shirt waists for women is the bas-
ket-weave cotton vesting. such as
men have worn for years. The stuff is
washable, of course. and may be had
in white and all the plain colors, like
wise in tiny black and white checks
and in the new plaids.

appropriate for cool weather wear, and
is Of a silky texture that is half it's

made without lining Many are orna-

HINTS FOR GIRLS WHO TRAVEL

n NE Of the first lessons the girl
needs to learn is how to travel
without looking untidy. To the
novice this seems impossible. All the
dust sticks. Her clothes lose their
freshness and she does not understand
the secret of spending twenty-four
hours on the train without presenting
a generally demoralized appearance at
the end of her Journeys
The experienced traveller will always

Rider Haggard, says the Philadelphia
Press, is now leading as peaceful and
unromantic life as the mildest-
minded man could wish to. Yet he can
tell two stories of thrilling adventures
that are as curdling as some of the
tales he publishes.
The one incident of his life with
which he connects his narrowest escape
from death happened in South Africa
over a quarter of century ago. Hag-
gard was master of the Transvaal high
court, and in this capacity he was sent
on mission to a distant mountainous
district, which was thickly infested
with mutinous and blood-thirsty ma
tives.
Before ne started on his journey he
was Informed that he would be Waylaid
and killed.
There were two roads by which he
might travel to his destination. and by
good luck he CHANGED to choose the
way to safety
On the other road a band of natives
was lying in wait for him, resolved to
torture and kill his entire party.

FASHIONS LATEST WHIMS.

IN EE different way in which women
of various nationalities wear their
clothes is interesting subject for
reflection. The English, the French and
the American woman each wears her
clothes with a difference, denoting by
the poise of A hat the draping of a
veil, the shape Of a boot, from what
country she claims her descent.
The Partisan is noted for her smart
ness and generally chic bearing for
her good corsets and her faultlessly
neat appearance. The American is
particularly upright in her carriage
albeit her erectness seems independent
OF corsets. her figure, from throat to
waist, dropping easily and naturally.
She is faithful to gauze wells and long,
pointed shoes. OF the Americans a
Paris dressmaker said: They have
faith, figures and francs; faith in our
judgmen, figures to fit, and francs to
pay with. Russian women are also
faVorites with the Partisan mOdistes.
Many Of their clothes are ordered in
Paris
There is a new assortment of jew
eled and beaded bags to be fastened
at the belt or carried in the hand
which totally eclipse those of the past.
They are most elaborate and artistic,
and gorgeous enough to adorn an
Oriental princess. The shah of Persia
was so impressed with these new bags
that he took back from London large
consignment Of these glittering trifies
10 his wives and the women OF his
court Some Of the most striking of
the small bags are of Persian en-
broidered stuffs in gold frames. These
are from $50 up for a single bag.
These lovely October days French
women are hunting with the men. Al
most every one who is a part Of the
gny chateau life in the country takes
with her from Paris her gun cases and
hunting costumes. And, it is whis-
pered, her enthusiasm is not so much
because OF the sport as because enc
knows in her stunning hunting costume
she is Irresistible in the eyes of the
men. There could be nothing more
charming than the leather CATERS. the
short tweed skirt the belted Norfolk
Jacket and the soft felt gombrero worn
by beauty when hunting. To wear this
novel costume is worth al the trouble
OF prowling over the open country IN
search of game.
A new idea for the silk collarette
that fills in between the flimsy chiffon
ruff1es of the summer and the fur Of
the winter is a boa OF black taffeta
crushed in the form of large pOppies
These have centers Of bebe ribbon, put
on as hanging punches. Two peoples,
side by side make up the width Of the
boa, which falls almost to the waist,
and IS finished with long black velvet
tasseis of bebe ribbon. Another new
substitute for the summer ruffle is e

as the beauties of the long ago wore
these bands, are being revived. These
are notably picturesque.
If you are making your winter night
gowns of twill silk-which, by the way,
outwears any other material-lace col
lars lined with a contrasting shade of
silk give a pretty finish at the throat
Another pretty idea is a collar finished
with deep hem of a contrasting
shade of silk. Pinks, blues, mauves
and yellows are all washing colors, but
You must choose a good make of silk
II you wish to have a fast dye. Imi-
tation Valenciennes lace is, after ALL
the best and cheapest trimming, and
it is almost impossible nowadays to
tell the difference between the real and
the imitation. Extravagant people are
using washing satin for night gowns,
and also a Liberty satin with cashmere
back This last is ideal for winter.
A belt pin in the form of a jeweled
safety pin, with the monogram of the
wearer, has been designed TO wear on
the front of the waist, and not at the
back. Many of the enameled brooches
in the form of flowers have pendants
formed of turquoise, pearls and other
stones in the matrsx. Hatpins are jew
eled.
The scarf has taken the Frenchwo-
man by storm. She wears them about
her shoulders as they were worn by a
past generation. They are twisted in
and out of the hair, and are made to
assume the form of a Romney belt
One clever Frenchwoman fastened a
Limerick scarf in her hair with a jewel
and let it fall over her skirt. Being
beautiful, the effect. though daringly
novel, was good.

1000 teachers Failed to
Pass.

Under the law requiring applicants
for teachers certificates to have their
examination papers marked by the
state superintendent, over 1000 teach
ers have failed to pass the required
examination for teaching in the pub
lie schools. Supt. Devine was instru-
mental in getting the law passed that
required the above condition as to ex-
animation papers. The result, it is
claimed, has been beneficial in a
marked degree and has been the
mean of wedding many incompetent
teachers, has raised the salaries of dis
trict school teachers, brought in
many high grade Instructors from
outside states and sent prospective
teachers to the normal school for
more training. All told. the effect
has been most beneficial upon the
school system of the state. The aver
age salary paid female teachers in the
district schools of North Dakota is
$3.50 a month and male teachers $45
a month. This is about the best av-
erage shown by any state in the union
and is much higher than ruled before
the law went into effect.

The Quiet Way In which He Bullied
the Theatrical Managers.
Here are the methods which Dumas
the elder and Victor Hugo employed
when they had new play to offer to
the theater. Dumas would write to the
director Of the Porte st. Martin:
My Dear Friend-I shall bring you on
Monday play in five acts. shall need
Mile. Georges. Mme Dorval. Bocage.
Lockroy. Provost and five new scenes.
This extravaganza would alarm the
director, who would put of the produc-
ton of the play till better days.
Then Victor Hugo would appear and
shyly draw manuscript out Of his
pocket. He would agree to everything.
The stock company would play his
piece admirably. since all he wanted
was good ensemble; no new decora-
lions would be needed nor any change
at all.
So the piece would be read, and as
the roles were distributed Hugo would
say musingly, "Dieu. how fine Freder-
lex would be In that part!" ''That is
true" Horel would murmur, and few
days after he would announce that
Frederick was engaged. Hugo would
then demonstrate that this destroyed
the equipose of the cast and Raucourt,
Laferriere and Mile. Georges would be
engaged. Then Hugo would attack the
stage setting. Old scenes, that the pub
lie had tired Of, were almost an insult
to these great artists. II Horel showed
reluctance at this, Hugo would threat
en- to withdraw his piece. And so tho
game would go on, till, little by little.
Hugo had obtained everything he
wanted, even to changing the paper
hangings In the stage boxes.
