HE SWALLOWED THE DOLLS.
Predicament of Man Who Ate Pic
 Made for Him By a Joking Girl.

NletaN AOA AA1Ahl ASJ q COhAl5 N1ilAs
 Newark, Sept 15.-John LeBrange was treated at the City hospital yes terday to relieve him of two little china babies, which he had swallowed The presence of the little dolls in his midst frightened him so that he went to the hospital for treatment.
 He swallowed the babies in eating a pie which young woman made for him. After noticing. that he had swal- lowed something hard he examined the pie and discovered that it was loaded with a. lot of tiny porcelain dolls.d He at once imagined that some of the dolls were rowing about inside him, and the more he thought about them the more he worried.
 : The dolls were safely removed yes terday morning and LeBrange left the hospital happy in the knowledge that he had escaped the cutting which was talked of as a last resort.

Damaging storms In Germany.

BERLIN, Sept. 15. = Destructive storms are reported in many parts of Germany. In Saxony the temperature sank to zero, and hurricane-like wind unroofed many houses and injured q large number of people. The damage is estimated at millions of marks. A very severe northwest storm visited the cities on the North sea. Considera- ble damage was done to bathing estab- lishments on the Elbe, and a number of low lying houses were partially wrecked.

Next in importance to the ma feriai nf a onNn is the lining.

NGxI m IE1pOTIdItCC lO sisc il'o terial ofa gown is the lining.
 Since fashion has made the use of silk for lining almost indis- pensibIe, women have suffered troubles untold from the tearing and splitting of the regular Taffeta. Silk experts have been hard at work experimenting in every direction to overcome the general dissatisfaction which arose from that source until at last their patience was rewarded and they discovered that by peculiar const struction all breaking and cracking could be done away with and the fabric though all silk could be made as durable and tough as a piece of silesia.
 The silk fabric (ANTHEREA) was the result of the study and we are holding a demonstration of it on our front counters where a salesman will be pleased to tell you all about it and have a pretty booklet of samples at- tached giving the history of how the cloth was discovered. We have it in 4 shades, including black and white, 5SC'a yd

BY agreement with the junior hall COM
mittee, the handsome decorations in pink
and white, arranged for the ball, will re-
main in place until after the luncheon
and will add materially to the attractive
effect of the great hall.
Because the armory is a very large
place, it would be a great mistake to
imagine that it may be cold and dis
agreeable. 1t is thoroughly heated and
will be perfectly comfortable as well as
commodious. There will be no crowding
nor rush, for the visitors will be admitted
to the banquet hall in relays, the out
of-town guests first, the st. Paul women
next and the Minneapolis women last.
The tickets will be 81 as has been the
custom ever since the midwinter social
function was begun.
But one more thing remains to assure
an affair perfect in all of its particulars
the menu. This work has been intrusted
to caterer, who has prepared a choice
and dainty menu, which he expects to be
able to serve in a faultless manner TO
any number of guests up to 1000. Hav-
ing all of the facilities for caring for
very large number of women, the COM
mfttee will be gratified if the attendance
is larger than ever before, a thing which
no previous committee has dared to wish.
The sale of tickets, which are in the
hands of the club, will close Feb. g.

BrOiIed Chicken for Supper.
1t usually takes from twenty to thirty
minutes to cook a young chicken over

to do this in families where dinner is
not served at night, and yet where some
thing warm in the meat line Is wanted
Tor supper. The fire In the range is too
low, perhaps, to have the dish Of warm
meat or poultry which the good man finds
so acceptable. Many a family might utiI-
1ze their Goals in the parlor stove or IL
brary crate, as has been often done by
those who are quick-witted enough to
think Of it,
In the forenoon split the chicken down
the back, clean and dress as usual for
broiling. Put it in a pan, pour over it
one cup of hot water, cover it, and let
1t steam in the oven until tender.
Then lay it on your wire broiler and
hold 1T over the bed of hot Goals in the
library, turning until well Drowned on

PROBLEMS FOR MOTHERS.

If clean hands and faces for children
are difficult of attainment, clean finger
nails are more SO. There seems TO De
some justification for the habit, common
to mothers of large families and small
incomes, of cutting the nails to the quick
and keeping them so. The more ampI-
tious mother, who wishes her children to
have well kept nails, is in constant Diff
ficulties The time for bestoWing the nee
essary attention upon them never seems
to arrive. The morning dressing is
struggle at the best, and II nails are 10

by him and put off the time of darkness
and oblivion.
1t is not difficult to manage the care
of the teeth. There are so many pleasant
dentifriceS on the market, and the child
SO loves pleasant flavor IN his mouth,
that a bottle of colored fluid and soft
tooth brush will usually win him to face
this duty. Indeed, he may even regard 1T
as a luxury, so great as to be INDUCED
in only occasionally. Such was the att1-
tude of mind of the little boy whose
teacher, observing the neglected state Of
his teeth presented him with a tooth
brush, with full directions as to it's use.
He joyfully accepted it, and a few days
later courteously returned it, wrapped
in white tissue paper, with the remark:
Here's your tooth brush, Miss Jones,
and I'm ever so much obliged to your
There are however, some poor little
mortals who are fairly crippled with
cleanliness. The fond mothers so over
rate the Importance of fresh clothes and
shining faces and hands that they sac
rifice to them, day after day, the higher
things Of the child's life. What teacher
of a private kindergarten has not seen

them, though the washbowl is; and the

greatest delights. Why not, then, let
them get clean in their own way? A

and their attractiveness was considerably
enhanced by the excessive plainness OF
many of their contemporaries Nova
days good looks are the rule rather than
the exception among society ladies.
Inere will be wonderful array of
handsome duchesses Of very varied types
OF beauty. OF the younger ladies their
graces of Portland, Bedford and Suther-
1and are pre-eminently stately and will
wear their coronation robes with due
dignity and success. The Duchess of
Bedford, who is not deeply Interested
in chiffons and who usually wears the
simplest Of everyday gowns, looks par
ticularly well when she dons a grand
toilet.
The same may be said Of the Duchess
of Portland, but the Duchess Of Suther-
land is invariably smart and up to date
IN her frocks. The young Duchess of
Marlborough has piquant charm Of
her own, and the Duchess of Beaufort
who was Baroness Carlo de Tuyll has
also the bright, bewitching air English
women in spite Of their comeliness some
times lack. The Duchess of DeVonshire
is typical representative of the modern
grande dame, and the Duchess Of Buc-
cleuch, with her slightly ceremonious
manner and dignifed mien, will be an
imposing mistress of the robes.

Herbert's first impulse was to refuse,
but his bachelor apartments, while they
abounded in comfort, lacked cheer. He
lit cigar and went out. Tom received
him with ill-concealed excitement.
I'm glad you've come" he said, hila-
riously. THE friend I wrote about will
be here shortly. Sit down and take it

Presently a door opened and a 1.-the
figure entered the room. Tom sprang
from his chair. ''Mr. Hail." he said, al

Edith Carroll. She has also been to San
Francisco. Perhaps
Herbert arose. Suddenly he became pale
and would have fallen but for Toms
support. Before him stood his beautiful
unknown. Mechanically he held out his
hand, which she seized.
Il have never thanked you sufficiently
for your timely aid on the staircase" she
said, in the musical voice which Herbert
recollected so fondly.

was all Herbert could say. Tears of joy
were obscuring his vision. you see"
exclaimed Tom, ST was so impressed with
your story of the other night that men
toned it to Edith, for she, too, had been

BE quiet, Tom," cried Herbert, be-
coming very red.
And to my intense joy shouted Tom,
unabashed, Edith confessed that she had
been loving you all these years in secret,

"Oh Tom! Please hushp' pleaded
Edith, hiding her face.
And now since I've brought you to-

A month later Herbert's bachelor quar-

stored to its happy owner.
