They Are All the Style - Practical
Suggestion For One.
The art nOuveau craze largely influ-
ences interior decorations at present.
Whole rooms are being fitted up ac-
cording to this style, and the effect is
both quaint and harmonious. The din
ing room in the illustration carries out
this idea
The woodwork is of plain hardwood
stained green. There is a circular bay
window so deep that it forms quite
little recess, in which are placed a
chair and a table to hold books and
magazines. This recess is somewhat
separated from the rest of the room by
two slender columns of the wood. The
curved frIeze overhead contains long,
narrow water color panels representing
marine scenes. On the walls of the
room there are larger panels showing
field and harvest scenes. Under one Of

reader, and there's nothing she likes
better than to talk to intellectual peO-
pie. In fact, she has nothing in com
mon with the type of woman the Ger
mans designate as 'hausfrau.' Well,
my dear, the other day she happened
to call on a woman of this description
a woman who cared for nothing but
her homework and kitchen. And what
do you suppose happened? Why, she
fascinated the creature completely.
During the whole of her visit she talk
ed most enthusiastically on household
subjects, discussed the relative merits
Of Browns and Of Jones baking pow
ders and whether that new washing
compound wore holes in the clothes or
not. Fancy! And l don't believe she
ever held tin of baking powder in
her hand during her whole life. Here's
another instance: She can't endure
children, you know, yet whenever she
goes where there are any she plays
with them in the most charming man
ner and quite wins the hearts Of all
the mothers.
''She will vOlubly discuss politics on
Tuesday evening with Jack Wither
ingtOn, who admires brainy women,
and will make him admit she is the
cleverest one he ever met, and yet on
Wednesday, when Lester CareW ap-
pears on the scene Che has old fash
toned ideas on the subject of women),
she will display the most adorable and
utterly feminine ignorance on all seri-
GUS subjects.
"And then when she attends the
meeting Of the Society Of Advanced
Woman Thinkers she wears costume
so severe that it savOrs strongly Of the
masculine, yet that very afternoon she
rushes home, effects a quick change
and appears at the Van Sutphens' aft
ernoon tea in a creation of most friv-
olous chiffons Now, did you ever see
such a contradictions
"Why, nor' l exclaimed. "She is the
adaptable woman, the woman who is
born to be the delight of her husband
and of society at large. She is the Wo-
man who will never offend you by in
dulging in a different frame of mind
from your own.
"It is certain that she will never be
straitlaced in Bohemia Or Bohemian in
the salons Of Mrs. Grundy. When she
goes to a strange country, she will al
most instantly adapt herself to its
ways and customs. When her husband
loses her fortune, she will look as at
tractive in print gowns as she did in
brocade ones, and she will do her
Homework with the same grace with
which she received her guests at din
ner parties.
"When by chance she has to do with
inferior people, she will come down to
their own level in talking to them, and
when she has dealings with individuals
who are her superiors in life she will
raise herself to meet them. In other
words, the adaptable woman is all
things to all people"
But Maisie shook her head d1sap-
pfovingly. She herself Is not an adapt
able woman.

1t is not generally known that Lord
Rosebery possesses the costliest collec-

of them are of solid gold, and some are
set with brilIiants. A curiously inlaid
enamel snuffbox was at one time the
property Of Napoleon Bonaparte. A
small black box studded with three

Pitt, while another, plainly inlaid with

THE FASHION WORLD.
A Novel Walking COstume-The UNI
Versa1 Use of Fur.

A Novel Walking COstume-The UNI
versal Use of Fur.
A handsome gown that is at one and
the same time suit for ordinary walk
ing and for the coolest days has been
invented, and as a conscientious sort
of fashion writer I make haste to ex-
plain just how such a thing may be.
This suit is made in the form Of an or
binary walking style, with satin bands
stitched on the skirt so as to simulate
1ounce and straps up the skirt quite
to the waist. These are about two
inches wide on the lower part of the
skirt and one on the rest. The waist
is made as an Elton, with straps from
the neck down. From the underarm
portion, across the back and down to
the bust line in front the straps are not
sewed to the waist. Thus a regular
yoke of black broadtail is slipped in
and protects the chest and back against
the rigorous weather. This is adjusta-
BILE and is a rich and handsome addi-
ton. It is mostly intended for skat-
ing suit, though there has as yet been
framed no law against it's being worn
for anything else
The suit in question is Of rather
heavy cheviot, and the lower part OF
the waist is lined with chamOis, and
sleeves of the same can be worn. The
belt is of black satin like the straps
and fastens in front with a very large
buckle. There is much to be said in
favor Of such a design, as it leaves the
body free for exercise and is yet quite
warm enough for any weather we are
likely to have.
In the way Of luxury there was
shown today a complete dress made OF
that rather frail but beautiful broad
tail fur. The skirt was cut so that 1t did
not show single fold around the waist
or hips. The bodice was in the form
Of short jacket, and this was bound
with a narrow band Of black fur OF
some kind. The jacket closed across
from left to right and had three enor-
nous buttons. A fancy tab was placed
below the waist line in front under the
belt. Around the bottom was a band
of the narrow fur. The sleeves were
coat shape.
If woman wants to be right in the
swim, she must have fur everywhere
and on everything where it can be put.
Sometimes one thinks the use Of fur is
carried a little too far-fOr instance,
when we find a row Of it around
petticoat No animal is now sure that
he will not be skinned to furnish beau
tiful woman with something intended
to make her more comfortable or at
tractive Even pigs are afraid, for
they, too, contribute. And the wild al
ngators, the sharks and the porpoises,
maybe whales, too, give Of their skins
for the adornment of the dainty and
delicate women. Just now women are
wearing sables, when they can get
them, martens, ermines, Persian seal,

chilla and it's limitations are in the list.

ties, and it is exceedingly pretty, as 1t
is in a rich cream shade and not dead

thing.

in the way Of lace dresses for evening
wear. Most of the lace dresses are of

In trials for murder II Is often OF

carry out the test II is necessary to
have at hand serums already treated

of sheep. cattle, fowls. etc. Each one
OF these prepared serums will destroy
the red corpuscles of one kind OF
blood very quickly. The sheep serum
will, for instance. destroy red corpus

and its effect on the red corpuscles Of
any other blood Is very much less
