A Bit of ContinentaIL Lore.

One of the best mouse scarers" Ia
said to be the foliage of the walnut
tree. Where traps are useless the
above is most successful. and for those
to whom such leaves are obtainable
there need be no worry about those an
noying little animals Even after the
foliage has been dried it is still eff
fectual in driving them away. On the
continent, where country folk bury
such vegetables as turnips, carrots, cell
cry. etc. for winter use, a layer of the
above keeps rats and mice AWAY.

herself and to her child. The fitness Of
things is reversed when the mother de-

child what she does not need. Under
such circumstances fine dress is posi-

necessary for good taste in all that re-

pretty color effects and for the refine

departure from plainness Of material

of the flues and draw them tightly but
firmly between the thumb and the
whalebone If they curl too much. hold
them less tightly and begin farther

work is certain TO produce desirable re-
suits, but any sharp instrument, like

The American EiRurc.

There is one point of the feminine
figure which is always particularly
cared for by the designer of American
costumes, and that is the lines from the
waist to the knee. Do you know that
the American woman has Il figure
which is known in Europe as the Amer
lean figure? The Frenchwomen are
'hipless" compared TO the American
girl The graceful. full and rounded
lines of the we'll formed American wo-
man is subject of envy. and the
Frenchwoman uses pads to simulate
that particular outline which makes the
American tailor made girl artistically

DR.. Blackwell. Medical Pioneer.

With the history of the admission Of
women to practice medicine the name
of Elizabeth Blackwell must always be
accorded an important place. After
studying the science in the United
States. Paris and London she went to
practice in New York and founded
there a hospital and medical school for
women. She founded the National
Health society in London and also as
sisted in forming the London School
of Medicine For Women.

There is an exquisite charm about a
neatly dressed woman. She does not
wear her hair loose as if it is just
about to fall on her shoulders. Her
gloves are not ripped at the seams. nor
are any buttons missing from her
boots. Her veil does not reveal hole
over her chin. nor does the binding of
her skirt show ragged in places. Not
many women show their tidiness in
these details. but the we'll groomed wo-
man considers that neglect in these lit
tie things is full of shame TO woman
kind Note the well dressed tailor
made woman. Her cloth gown fits her
without a crease. and there is neither
speck nor spot on it. Her linen collar
and cuffs are snowy white and remain
properly fixed in their places. Her
gloves do not wrinkle, but button
smoothly over her wrists. Her shoes
are dainty and polished. Her bonnet
or hat is pinned on straight, and her
hair is neatness itself. She is the pic
ture Of delicate finish and wholesome
order. Would that we could come
across her somewhere oftener.

Bras. In England In Chaucer's Time.

A metal resembling brass, but said
to have been superior in quality, was
known in England as ''maslin" as early
as the time of Chaucer, and in the
reign of Henry VIII. an act Of parlia-
ment was passed prohibiting the ex-
port of brass out of England. Whether
the earlier monumental brasses still to
be found in our churches were made
originally in England is not absolutely
certain, the probability, according to
some antiquaries. being that they were
of French or Belgian workmanship.

The LorEnette.

The lorgnette has come to be so much
in vogue nowadays that it is now con-

gnette one was considered affected. but
times are changed, and if one wishes
to keep pace with the fashionable she
must learn to use the lorgnette with
