The Hairpin In Science.

A scientific writer in American
Medicine pays glowing tribute to the
hairpin. He finds that it is of almost
inestimable value to the surgeon, who
can use it ito pin bandages, to re-
move foreign bodies from any natural
passage, as a curette for scraping away
soft material, to compress blood YES
sci in controlling a hemorrhage, and to
close a wound" In addition to these
uses the gentleman has used the hair
pin to probe wounds and to wire bones
together in cases of fracture. But it
is not in surgery only that the hairpin
is useful. 1t may take the place Of a
suspender button or help out when an
automobile breaks down. Perhaps II
the truth were known many loco.
motive has been held together, at a
pinch, by hairpin, and we are not
surprised that the writer for American
Medicine suggests that it would al
ways be we'll for man to carry a sup
ply of hairpins in his pocket. Such a
practice would undoubtedly have i'm
portant advantages, but there is a bet
ter and more pleasant plan. If it could
be so arranged that man might al
ways have at least one companionable
lad, near him the highest usefulness
of n, hairpin might be developed.

they leavor to use this delicate in.

Very many more travel now than for

She's better dressed, in the first in

Some Bolt Arrangements.

All sorts of full arrangements are to
be seen for belts made of the materials
of the gowns with which they are
worn, In silk gowns there vii be full
led pieces OF the silk arc I'D the waist,
shaped a little in front, with bone
perhaps, and made to form little
point, and wider in front tnan at the
sides, where there is only the matcrl-
al. In the back it is fastened with a
couple of fIills, which s'ar;G out, are
boned, and make the belt as wide as
in the front. Or the belt is simple,
pulled down little in the front, and
fastens there with little shirred
frill, one side tapping over the other,
sometimes exactly in the ''ntre, and
again a little to one SIDE.
There are narrow, stitched, fitted
bodice-like belts, though narrow, and
some OF these are laced through eyelet
holes in the back Or little soft silk
belt will be boned only at the sides,
being,a little wider there than ii the
back or front, where are the folds of
the material only. Similar soft folds
of silk finish the necks of some light
gowns, simple fulled pieces finished in
two frills standing out little at the
back, where the ends are hooked to-
gether.-New York Times.

The French Heel Popular.

From gloves to shoes is natural
transition after looking in at the win
dow of fashionable shop where the
dress for both eXtremities are dis
played together. 'Tis sad but very tr'le,
that the French heel is as firmly hXed
in popular esteem as ever. The fluffy
girl, and lots of other girls, who ought
to reason better, wear heels of abnor-
nal height and of perilous slender
ness. The efforts of the shoemakers
tc establish the Cuban heel have up
to this time met with little encourage
ment. With nine-tenths of the women
it is the French heel or the perfectly
fiat masculine heel, and what your tru-
ly smart woman wears, when shopping
or calling, is pair of thinnest shini-
est Oxford ties, laced with broad black
ribbons that tie in flaring bows over
her insteps, mounted on Po:apadour
heels Of the most exaggerated type
and put on over the most delicate
laced hose.-Chicago Record-Herald.

WAYS to Cook Eeef.

Food that is wholesome and we'll
cooked is boon. Beef. properly serv-
er, is one of the most desirable meats.
Here are some recipes for preparing it
in different forms:
Baked Bullock's Heart-Wash and
wipe the heart, cut it into four pieces.
Season these with pepper and salt,
chopped thyme and lay leaves, eight
onions cut in slices, two ounces of
dripping and four parsnips, also cut in
slices. Place these in IN earthen jar
with & pint of water, put on the lid
and bake in the oven two to three
hours.
Ragout of Beef-Mclt and brown
thoroughly half an ounce Of butter.
Add to it one ounce Of flour, stir till
brown and perfectly smooth. Pour
in slowly half pint Of stock, the same
quantity of boiled and drained Spanish
vuiVus. Sii. u..tii ti,o-eauoo -thiokcpc.
then add about a pound Of cold roast
beef cut into nice neat slices. Cook
slowly till the beef is heated through.
Remove the slices carefully and ar
range on dish so that one slice orer-
laps the other. Pour the So uce ov"r
ALL garnish with chopped ghorlins.
decorate the center of the dish with
horseradish and serve very hot.
Fillet of Beef-Proc re .wo pounds
of nice filet of beef and cut into neat
round slices half an inch thick. Sprin-
kle with pepper and salt; also cut the
fat off the beef into nice pieces. Heat
two ounces of butter in frying pan.
and fry the fillets for five or seven
minutes, then brush over each with
glaze Place border of mashed po:a-
toes on a dish. lay the fillets on il
with alternate slices of baked tomato
and the fried beef fat. Also have
piece of maitre de'hot'l butter on each
fillet. Fill the center with nicely cook
ed vegetables and pour round a little
good beef gravy.

Woman should Not Fuss.

The best-bred women do not fuss.
They take their gowns and their furni-
ture, their jewels and their children as
matters of course. They are uncon-
scious of their veiis and their gloves
and they expect every one else to be
equally so. 1t they see an intimate
friends wearing handsome gown they
refer to it admiringly but they also
preface their comment with an apol-
ogy. Their differences with their hus-
bands are not aired neither the domes-
tic upheavals caused by the desertion
of the cook on wash morning. The re-
pose of well-bred women is not the
quiet of weakness, it is the calm OF
trained facilities balanced so nicely
that an earthquake may cause
change of color but will not bring
forth a loud cry. Well-bred women are
q boon TO the human race. They help
the social and professional world to
maintain high standard both OF NOR
ais snd behavior.

Jewels and Baublos.

The favorite design for the little
fancy slides for catching up the loose,
struggling hairs at the Iape of the
neck is two small caduceui wings, set
with diamonds OF pearls.
Buckles of blond tortoise-shell are
worn in the hair. They are mounted
ON a comb. The edge of the buckle,
which is long and Dent in shape, are
powdered with diamond dust.
An ornament for hair or corsage is a
peacock feather, with an antique cam
60 encircled with brilliants, for the
eye. The father proper is in trans
parent enamels, rC..eving by fine,
sparkling lines Of diamond;
Lorgnettes are short and delicately
fine rather than big and snowy as they
have been of late. The case into
which the glasses fit when the lorg-
nette is closed, serves as handle as
we'll, and is small and unobtrusive,
though of beautiful workmanship.
Perfume balls, which are the favor
ite charms for neckchains or bracelets,
are often in the shape of an almond,
pear or an apple, incrusted with dia-
mcnds. Some of these "pomanders"
are OF filigree, others resemble tea

Travelling Gowns.

Travelling gowns this year will be
made of either mohair or pongee; the
pongee are the newer. The dark col
ored pongees are the best, although
the natural ecru color, for those wom-
en- who can wear it, is always smart
and attractive. Mohair, with dot
or hair lire is much smarter than the
plain color, and blue is considered
smarter than black. These gowns are
made with short skirts, not like rainy
day or golf skirts, but distinctly short
enough to clear the ground. The jack
cts are usually quite short, have tails
at the back cut off square, and long
pointed fronts. They are simply made,
and trimmed with bands of taffeta, or
oddly enough, with bands OF cloth. a
long travelling cloak is one OF the fea-
lures of the season to quote the manu-
facturers. 1t covers up the entire
gown.-Harper's Bazar.
