Face Patches Coming In.

Face patches, like all other styles,
have their exits and entrances. Cen
orally speaking, they are just now
coming in.
In former times. when black patches
broke out on the faces of danes and
damsels like the virulent rash regular
patch flirtations prevailed. and an in
genious belle could say most anything
she wanted to by means of patches.
To be sure, there were combinations,
and unless the public was as clear
sighted as the wearer there was dan
ger of being thrown of the track by
some unusual arrangement, but as
rule people could tell very we'll by the
way she wore her patches what belle
was trying to convey.
Here is the ruling of q reliable
French authority:
II woman wore a patch in the
corner Of her right eye she was head
over heels in love with somebody, for
that was the passionate" patch.
A patch in the corner of the left eye
signifies jealousy, and 1t Is a natural
supposition that this decoration was
not thing OF beauty In the eyes OF
her female acquaintances.
The patch of devotion" was worn
in the middle Of the left cheek. When
worn on the right cheek it could be
construed as sign of disappointment.
The nose sometimes served as the
background for the patch. This was
called the 'effrontee" and usually
spoke for itself A patch on the lip
was translated 'coquette" and, like the
nose decoration. needed no explana-
tory marginal notes. A patch in the
middle of the chin meant piety.
The shapes of the patches were also
significant. The round patch was
called the assassin" This was a
pretty strong term. and it indicated
the wearer's determination to make
things lively.
The square patch was less bellige-
rent. but not more cheerful for "re-
morse was the meaning read into 1t.
The triangular patch denoted pity and
the heart shaped devotion.
1t will be readily seen that with all
this material to work on a lady could,
by combining certain shapes and po-
sitions, write quite an interesting tale
with her heavy Washington
Star.

Mothers. spend all the time possible

day at the things young girls do and

the hope in my heart that their home
influence is strong, kind and true.
And that their mothers are keeping
up with the times, and have ever q
watchful eye upon their children, es-
pecially their daughters.
No matter what happens, don't turn
your back upon them. Remember they
are given to you to cherish. protect
and guide all your life. You sre re-
sponsible to your Creator for the lives
of your children. You must answer to
him for the way in which you bring
those children up.-Mrs. NJ. Il. r,

JACK PlccoTT's pseT METHODS.

His Inventiveness Found Way to Get
at His Victims Purse.
They had been talking about the
clever methods OF crooks up at the po-
lice station, and the conversation had
naturally drifted toward the more nov
ell things which marked some of the
criminal performances of the country.
That reminds me of story | was
reading some time ago about Jack
Piggott, a pickpocket Of some note"
said Jack Norris. who Is forced to keep
UP with the records of criminals, be-
cause of the fact that he looks after
all the Bertillon measurements for the
New Orleans department "Piggott Is

boldest of the many schemes he work.
ed to get property to which he had no
claim. The robbery. according to the
story told by Piggott. after 1t was all
over in the courts with him, and by
the victim, a woman, during the trial,
is not without an amusing side.
"A well-dressed woman stepped in
front of a jewelry store and was ad-
mlring a rather handsome winter dis
play. Piggott had picked her out for
a victim but for while he was at q
loss to know just how to get her to
take her hand from the purse which
she was carrying in her cloak pocket.
He had made several efforts to bring
about the result in a way that would
not excite suspicion but they all
failed. He could not get her hand out
of her pocket so he could extract the
money wallet. He finally hit upon a
scheme, and he was probably as much
surprised as the woman at the smooth
ness with which the thing worked.
He had a toothpick in his mouth at
the time. He reached over the vic
Tins shoulder and tickled her In the
ear with the toothpick. She withdrew
her hand and struck at her ear in an
effort to brush away the fly, or what
ever it was, and while she had her
hand of the purse Plggott got 1t.
'He made a quick grab for the swag.
but practice in the art of picking
pockets made 1t easy for him to do the
work in the allotted time. OF course
there was nothing suspicious about
Piggott's appearance. He was nicely
dressed and did not look like a crook.
He said afterward that he was very
much amused over the whole thing,
and could not keep from laughing
heartily after 1t was all over the way
the victim acted. He got good wad.
about $3.50, for his trouble. But he
has been put away where he will not
have a chance for some time at least
to practice these little things on un-
suspecting women."-New Orleans

Velvet slippers appear in coral, tur-
Quoise and other light colorings.
Dark, large plums with their foliage
are used for decoration on straw hats.
Supple serpents of metal, gun metal,
or silver form the handles for many
bags.
Check silks in white and gun metal
gray are gaining in favor for gowns,
separate waists and trimming pur-
poses.
Gowns OF tullc are the loveliest of
the seasons creations and jeweled cor
selet belts the most artistic of acces-
sories.
Full front corset covers that can be
stitIiy starched are especially becom-
ing, under shirt waist, for a very
slender woman.
The most attractive and daintiest
colorlngs are seen in the summer
tweeds and friezes, the range includ-
ing delicate shadings of green, gray,
pink and beige.
White ribbons with wreaths of roses
are charming with the green mousse
line gowns, and other pretty lowered
sash ribbons arc a shadowy mass of
roses in many tints.
The three-qusrter length black taf-
feta coat has firmly established itself
as light and attractive garment. The
most popular style of fiIhsh includes
q wide, rolling collar. which In some
instances resembles a cape and white
revers.
The use Of Irish crochet lace for
smart wrist bags is rather new. A
handsome bag showing the lace over
white silk is mounted in silver gilt
and beautified with pearls. a large
baroque pearl studding the center, the
fringe being of the tiniest pearl beads.
Some Of the new parasols have
leather covered handles. Natural
wood handles are IN many instances
set with stones. Peach wood handles
are set with opals. maple and the tur-
quoise are considered good combine
tion. while amethysts are sunk into

An Indispensable Garment.

An indispensable possession Of every
woman is the glace coat made in black,
with some decoration in the form of
lace for the collar; revers are disre-
garded this year, and the collars are
usually long and rounded. There are
some wonderful limitations of Irish
lace In the market which lend them
selves particularly we'll to the collar
to finish the black glace coats. This
silken jacket is fashionable, either in
the sack shape reaching just to the
waist, or In three-quarter length. and
for its trimming 1t will bear cord Or
naments with pendant tassels, or de-
signs worked in gathered lines of the
same material as the coat itself, says
the Delineator The only drawback,
perhaps, to the taffeta coat is that it
has very little warmth and covers with
an Ill grace any thick interlining with
which one may be inclined to provide
It; therefore. for driving the cloth Jack
ct Is Infinitely more suited. and cloth
coats in the palest gray and palest
fawn are much in evidence, trimmed

collars and large buttons, and they are

tive.

Irrigation by Capillary Attraction.

Flage Carter Of Breckenridge county
explains his method of irrigating a
tree as follows: He first takes a ves-
sci, a pan or bucket-anything that
may be tied to a tree limb. This ves-
sci he fills with water and attaches
to the tree. A tender twig about the
size of a lead pencil is inserted in the
water, which is gradually absorbed by
this twig. Mr.. Carter states that the
branch will absorb every drop of wa
ter in the utensil.
Capillary attraction is the future ir-
rigation," continued Mr.. Carter. II
took UP the matter about two years
ago, but did not put it to final test
till this spring. Then had two trees
that needed attention badly, and / ex-
perimented with each. One young tree
had been rubbed roughly by a horse
and was wilted badly. | applied my
method of watering it and within one
week 1t completely revived. l next
treated a sick apple tree and 1t is now
all right, am glad to say"
Mr.. Carter predicts that the future
irrigation OF the country will be done
through forest trees on the capillary
attraction" principle, and that from
this mode will extend irrigation to all
the vegetable ngdom.-Breckenr
