All sorts of pleatings are modish.
Inlaid tucking looks rather well on
silk.
Old blue is shade that seems to be
gaining popularity
Deep turn-back cuffs Of heavy lace
adorn evening cloaks.
The mercerizing process has made
common dresses handsomer.
Coarse open linen weaves do not
necessarily become shapeless.
Already we hear of changing sleeve
fullness to above the elbow.
Gowns of gray cheviot. with white
reliefs, are especially smart.
Inlets Of pleated lace or net give
fullness to some long dress cloaks.
White pearl buttons fasten the
blouses and skirts of some bicycle
suits.
White grenadine trimmed with pink
panne, makes an effective afternoon
gown.
Platform hats that take a sudden
drop in the back are very becoming to
some faces.
AS stocks become depleted it is more
and more trouble to match large and
small lace figures.
Dutch necks are more becoming to
some than are the round shapes that
come just to the base of the neck.
Some of the new tucked shirt waists
have French knots embroidered on
them in black, thus giving a pretty
contrast.
Lace medallions caught together with
narrow ribbon velvet make a very
pretty trimming ON gowns of light
woolen material.
Lace hip yokes give skirts a modish
air and are very efficient in concealng
any pecing that may have been EN-.
ployed to lengthen the skirt.
Particularly effective are the accor-
dion pleated ruffs now so much worn.
They come in all colors, but those in
black and white are preferred.
Every complete wardrobe must have
long coat. They are made with full
effect and are apparently shapeless,
although much attention has been paid
to getting this effect.
Ostrich feather boas are seen again,
some in the old, round shape, but the
smartest ones are in wide, fiat stoles.
When boas are worn it is always bet
ter taste to have them the same colo,
as the gown.

Use OF Perfumes.

Many women of good taste say that
the use of perfume is vulgar, and other
women of equally good taste proclaim
that it is not. Which one of these is
right the individual must decide. One
thing is certain; excessive use of per-
fume Is vulgar; 1t is the abuse and not
the use Of perfume that makes 1t un-
popular with women of refined tastes.
When perfume is used the woman
should select whatever scent is the
most agreeable to her, and use that
alone.
confusion of scents.
A delicate perfume of good quality
Is the most desirable, and then one
should have everything the same
scent.
Sachet powder will be required for
the scent bags scattered about among
the underwear; the face powder should
be of the same make, as should also
the soap. AS to extracts, people vary
in these, but quite the best taste Is to
the same scent as all the others, and if
delicate scent is used on the hand
tlerchief there is no reason whatever
for calling it vulgar taste; there have
been times when n scented handker-
chief has been known to revive a
person who felt faint, and when no

LYNX A TERROR At BAY.
But Scourge of the Canadian Wilds VIII
Not Voluntarily Attack Man.


Scarcely another animal presents
such striking picture of savage
hatred, of uucompromising ferocity as
a Canadian lynx at bay. That brutal
head, with low forehead, beneath
which two cruel eyes are blazing like
evil stars; that fierce display of teeth
between the parted wrinkled lips, and
the massive, powerful feet, hiding
fiesh-tearing hooks Of living steel, all
impress the beholder with the fact that
n personal encounter with a Canadian
wildcat must end in death for at least
one of the combotants.
Not that the lynx is specially aggres-
sive in his attitude toward men-far
from it-and the stories of how he fol-
lows belated hunters through the over
hanging branches of the forest trees.
seeking favorite opportunity to
spring upon his human prey, are pro-
ducts of the imagination. But when,
after chase, he is. driven to take
refuge in a tree, where he crouches
in preparation for his last battle, l
would prefer. unless armed with a
rifle, to interview almost any other
creature of equal weight.
Many years ago the Canadian lynx
was to be found in the mountainous
districts of New England, New York
and Pennsylvania, but now he is sell
dom seen far south of the Canadian
border. He is to be met with in La
brador, and is quite common in certain
parts of the Dominion, where he is
hunted chiefly for his skin.
He is somewhat larger than the COM
mon American wildcat 0ynx rufus),
and, moreover, his head is rounded
and broader in proportion than that
Of his kinsman. His triangular, furry
ears are each tipped with a tuft of
coarse black hair. The general color
Of the body is gray, with many irregu.
lar darker spots; the fur on the under
side of the body is lighter. Beginning
at the ears and extending downward
around the throat is ruff of longer
hair, which adds not little to the
animals appearance of ferocity. The
tail is short, thick and well covered
with hair.
He is splendidly adapted for the wild
life which he leads. Clad in his thick
winter fud, he can resist the most
penetrating cold. and when his hunting
luck is against him, as it often is his
great vitality enables him to exist for
many days without food. His methods
Of pursuing and capturing his prey are
very similar to those adopted by the
domestic cat.-Ottawa Free Press

Aesthetic dress always seems to be
suitable to little children. They have
taken kindly to the Russian blouse.
Sometimes the waist line is ignored
altogether. and the garment falls from
the shoulders to the feet in an un-
broken line from pretty yoke or
collar. Boys waists seem to be given
n longer length than girls, Of course in
their tender youth. Flowered muslin,
delaines and challis make pretty little
frocks for girls, with yokes and frill
ings round the hem. A novel idea is a
yoke piece from the waist shocked; |;
this being elastic, it adheres nicely to
the figure. For wearing with the first
breeches there is a curious little gar
ment, which is slipped over the head,
and has no fastening at all; it is set
in yoke and box pleated, the ma
terial being allowed to fall as it will
from the shoulders; the sleeves are
slashed on the outside of the arms,
and show under white ones, apparently
part of the yoke. Sometimes it is
made to button down the back

Embroidered silk gloves are one of
the dainty eXtravagances of the sea-
son, the vogue for embroideries in
fabrics having reached handwear. The
embroidered gloves have tiny pansies,
daisies, violets or forget-me-nots en-
broidered in a section two inches wide
around the wrist. They are executed
either in the natural colors or in the
exact shade of the glove, the latter
style being undoubtedly destined to
greater popularity. In better grades
the embroidery extends to the back
of the hand. where it occupies the
place of the usual points.
In the elbow gloves for evening wear.
where the embroidery is most appro-
pirate and beautiful, it is found both
on the backs of the hands and in
section four inches wide around the
wrist. Half way up the arm there is
also four-inch semi-transparent, clip
tical medallion, also embroidered.
These gloves have double-tipped fin
gers, unusual in long silk gloves, and
are shown in black, pearl. white. mode
and light gray.

VEGETABLE MIMICRY.
stapelia and Other Flowers That Have
Fetid Odors.

Fettd OdOrs.
Quite a number of flowers have dis
tinctly mimetic odors. 1t can hardly
be doubted. for example, that the Of
fensive smell Of the carrion flowers
stapelia, Aristolochia. arum. raff1esia
and others is more effective in promot-
ing cross fertilization because of its
resemblance to the odor OF putrid meat.
so completely are the flesh flies de-
ceived that they often deposit their
eggs on the petals of carrion flowers.
Fe.id odors occur in byronia, hello
borus. geranium, stachys. ballota, iris
and other genera. The odor of others
have a curious resemblance to the
smells emitted by certain animals
Hypericum hirinum and orchis hircina
are bad-smelling flowers with an odor
resembling that of the goat; corian'
drum sativum has the fetid smell Of
bugs, while the hemlock. again, emits
strong odor of mice. Along with
these may be mentioned adoxa, the
musk orchis, the grape hyacinth and
other muskyscented flowers.
The resemblance in smell between
these flowers and the secretion formed
in the scent glands of the musk OK
and other animals is, to say the least,
d remarkable coincidence. Possibly
flies which accompany cattle may be
attracted by smells of this description.
Very curious also is the vinOus smell
of oenanthe, and the brandy-like aroma
of the yellow water lily nuphar. hence
called the brandy bottle. Etheral oils
exhaled by plants. while attractive to
some animals, seem to repel others;
the scents of sweet-smelling flowers,
such as daphne, thymus. marjoram.
melilotus and gymnademia. though
grateful to bees and butterflies, appear
to be distasteful to ruminants. Kerner
states that in general the latter avoid
all blossoms; even the caterpillars do
not readily attack the petals of their
food plants. Odor may therefore be
protective or attractive or it may be
of use in both ways. The same remark
applies to color, which may serve
either to attract or repel the richly
yariegated leaves of the Indian nettles
species of coleus-and the tinted
foliage Of begonia and geranium may
possibly escape injury on account of
the general resemblance to colored
blossoms. Instances in which one
plant resembles another in smell are
not very common in the Towering
class. though cases do occur like the
garlic mustard and apple-scented
saliva. Resembling odors are much
more frequent among fungi.-Knowl.

Walking Good Exercise.

Girls do not appreciate the advan-
tages Of walking as they should. 1t
has been said by an eminent physician
that walking is the exercise most con-
ducive to physical beauty in woman.
Tennis is supposed to be good exer-

the arms, and also to make the height
of the shoulders uneven. Cycling
when much practised, renders women
rather awkward in their walk; they ac-

-..--Matters


Brass ornaments, when not gilt or
lacquered may be cleaned and fine
color given to them by two simple
processes. The first is to beat sal am
moniac into a fine powder, then to
moisten it with soft water, rubbing it
on the ornaments, which must be
heated, and rubbed dry with bran and
whitening. The second is to wash the
brass work with rock alum boiled in
q strong lye, in the proportion of one
ounce to pint; when dry it must be
rubbed off with tripoli. Either of these
processes will give brass the brilliancy
of gold.

Fruit Juices XIII Disease Germs.

Many eminent bacteriologists call at
tention to the power of fruit juices to
kill disease germs. Lemon juice and
apple juice are especially mentioned,
the one containing citric acid and the
other moIic acid. Cholera germs are
killed in fifteen minutes by either, and
typhoid germs in half an hour If n
lemon be squeezed into glass of water
containing cholera germs, the water
may be drunk with perfect safety if
allowed to stand for fifteen or twenty
minutes. A fruit diet will cleanse the
stomach and the alimentary canal, and
drive off or kill many of the germs that
cause disease.

Fried Peppers.

Fried peppers are not any too well
known. The peppers should be sliced
crosswise,. freed from the seeds and
left in cold water for quarter Of an
hour or more. Drain and dry these
slices, sprinkle over them little salt
and dip them into flour. Have ready
a little olive oil in which to fry the
peppers. Do not let them brown too
deeply, and serve with steak. Again
they may be brolled, though in this
case the peppers should be cut into
quarters and, after the seeds have
been removed, cooked on creased
broiler until the edges begin to curl
They should then be brushed with
butter, seasoned with little salt and
served on q steak.

Woman Teller For a Chicago Bank.

Woman Teller For Chicago Bank.
The Fourth National Bank will on
August inaugurate new movement
in banking circles by opening a de-
partment for the exclusive benefit of
its women customers. Women patrons
will be served at separate window
by woman teller.
Added interest attaches to this in-
novation from the fact that the posi-
tion will be filed by one of the best
known young women in Atlanta. Miss
Jennie Armstrong, for many years
identified with the Girls High School
as assistant principal, has been to-day
appointed to the position Of teller, with
exclusive charge Of the wohan's de-
