Lace mitts are still good form, AMI
they can be found in black and white
and in different lengths.
A hat made Of strings of pearls in.
terwoven with bands of lace is one
of the striking creations for the
spring.
The new parasols are very beauti-
full Those in black and white take
the lead, though many are gay VITA
flower designs in all the bright natu-
raj colors.
Loops of narrow velvet ribbon al
most long enough to reach the shoul-
der adj a smart touch TO many of the
rev spring hats. Ribbons in two COL
ors are usually employed to carry out
thf; idea with the best effect.
A handsome parasol is of white silk,
covered with black chiffon, put on
plain, and then in the centre OF each
gore there is a medallion OF black
lace. A narrow border OF heavy white
lace further carries out the scheme OF
black and white.
A charming evening gown for a
young girl is of rich miroir satin,
veilei with either white, gold or col
ored net, showing deicate design,
of lace OF ribbon applique in a floral
design alternating with roaas or cam
elias sewn on in a studied careless
ness.
Modish separate skirts are effec-
tiyely trimmed with folds Of moire
extending from the waist line to the
head of the flounce. One idea is to
set fold on either side Of the seams
an laid very fiat. Then the flounce is
finished with bands Of the same mate
rial, running horizontally and widen
ing toward the back.
Lace still continues fashionable, and
for street and evening wear is held
In highest favor. Tambour lace, relic
of several decades ago, occupies an
important place on the list, although
II is not truly lace-that is, needle
made lacc-as it is worked with sort
of crochet hook, with the net
stretched on the frame. The pat
terms, however, are very effective.
Some of the new little frocks which
are made up for small girls open the
full length of the front and little to
one side The waist is made with the
little straight stock and dicky effect
with trimmings OF Hamburg and
broad lapels turning back at the front,
the one at the right being carried
over little and the end forming the
beginning of the opening. The skirt
is simply made, gored in the front,
and without a gather, the fullness OF
the back being given by two rather
broad box plaits which begin under
the collar, wnicn is sailorlke in the
back and are carried the full length

world apes the fashions Of Paris, but
coiffures are usually dictated in vi
enna. In the Austrian capital there
is annually hair-dressing contest, at
which the society CT friseurs distrib-
utes prizes for art an.l taste.
Just now the candidates for the hon
ors in the Vienna congress show a
tendency to revive the coiffures of
the renaissance, though they are less
capricious in arrangement. Two prin-
cipal prizes were given to the court
friseur, Herr Janik, and to Conrad
Horaczek. One was for what was
called coiffure Elizabeth and the 9TH
Ell the coiffure princcesse De Lam
bale.
The coiffure Elizabeth is an elabor-
ate affair to when a large jeweled
comb and bouquet of roses is aided
in order to make it the more con-
spicuous. The coiffure Princesse De
Lamballe reminds one Of zthezreTelers
at the court of LouisSSfV of France,
when paint ,audSpSw:ler were the car
iinal teilett requisites even for those
tt1Who were blessed with natural beauty.
Not one of the contestants dare ! to
exhibit the modest nairdress of the
old Germans, like that CT Marguerite
in Faust" or any Of the subduei
but pretty modes prevalent in the
northern country. The introduction
of these gorgeous coiffures means a
boom for the dealers in human hair
in Southern France, who have sup
nlied the civilized world for many de-
cades with the shorn locks Of the pro-
vincial maidens. Few women are for
tunate in the possession of enough
hair to comply with the new modes.
One of the features of the friseur
congress of Vienna is that the friseurs
do their work in the presence OF the
judges and visitors, the. competition
lasting two days.

MIsmnied Pearls Worn.


There is no doubt about feminine
enthusiasm over the earring. Pro-
digious pearl buttons are, with the
exception of few novel shapes, the
kind to wear, and their vogue is very
largely due to the fact that pair
of truly magnificent lorty.dollar pearl
ear studs could really not be identi-
fed from pair worth four or forty
thousand unless 4 jewel expert is
called in to pass upon the compare
tive merits. This was illustrated the
other day when the custom house ofii-
GERS seized a brace of splendid pink
beads that had not been declared,
and the jeweler who examined them
at first pronounced them genuine, so
admirable was their make. Until very
recently the fashion in ear studs de-
manJed that the pair Of pearls should
first. of all be of unusual size, then as
nearly as possible perfect spheres, and
finally exact mates in color.
1t fell to the lot of doting young
husband to change this mode. His
wife 5 birthday was due about Thanks
giving time, and on discreetly inqulr-
ing her preferences as to suitable
gift he was told that nothing short
of a pair Of pearl ear studs bigger
than any her friends had would just
fill the aching void in her jewel box.
He wrote and telegraphed and tefe
phoned, and cabled. ina way doting
American husbands have, and his or
der>~Tas for pair of the biggest
pearls in the market. A New York
dealer got one in Paris and one in
London, and both were guaranteed to
be as big as ordinary gooseberrias.
There proved, however, TO have been
little hitch in the instructions, that
nevertheless had been interpreted lit
orally as to size, for one pearl was as
black as London SCOT and the other
as white as snow. There was no
doubt about their size, though, and
the wife, rather than hurt the feel
ings of her faithful knight, put the
snismatchod pcarls in her little pink
ears and went to dinner of excep-
tional splendor.
The next morning she woke up and
found herself as a leader of fashion.
and since that dinner party the wome'!
with mated pearls" as they arc
called, have been negotiating eX-
changes at their jewelers. or among
themselves. Mated pearls are not "in
1t" with mismatched pairs, and though
black and white bead are at the top
of the list. a green and pink, a white
and yellow, are acceptable seconds
in style.-Chicago Recori-Herald.

Saving the Children.

One of the most interesting and
valuable forms of child saving" work
is that done by the Illinois State
Training School for Girls. 1t is in
Geneva, ILL.,, one hours ride from Chi.
cago, and was established to take
young girls from vicious lives and
reform them.
The school is divided into six "fam-
ilies." each of which has dormitory,
assembly room, kitchen, dining room
and laundry. The head of each family
is called the mother, and is selected
for her tact and kindliness as much
as for her ability to train the girls in
the duties required. Each girl is
drilled in baking, cooking, washing,
ironing and sewing. They also milk
COWS and make their awn butter.

One of the largest electrical con-
Germs e Germany has for the past
thrGs-years been experimenting with
~sTstem OF purifying water by means Of
ozone. Experience gained during this
time has demonstrated that such a
system is eminently successful, the
only question being in its commercial
possibilities. The cost of treating one
cubic meter, or about So cubic feet Of
water, however, is only IA cents. In
the system experimental with the wa
ter is first cleaned by quick filter,
the object being to remove the sus-
pended dirt This water is then passed
through brick towers, filled with gra-
vel. During its percolation through
the gravel it is subjected to the action
of the ozone, which is allowed to en-
ter the bottom of the brick tower, the
7'ater flowing in from the top. Bac-
teriologically considered, the system
is pronounced success, as in e.
case the germs present have h n re-
duced to far below the number permis-
7ble in practice. namely, 100 germs
pc" cubic centimetre. Where the
raw water contained as many as 100,-
OLC to 100000 germs per cubic cent?
metre. it was sometimes completely
sterilized and in all cases the germs
were reduced to from to 9 per cubic
centimetre.

The EpiscopaI Temper Tried.

A certain bishop, remarkable for his
precise and dignifed bearing, was
once sitting in the studio of an emf
nent artist as living model for his
own portrait Perfect silence reigned
for a whole hour, while the knight Of
the palate diligently went on with his
work. At last the Bishop, becoming
weary of the Ireary monotony, ven.
tured to remark:
How are you getting on?"
Absent-mindedly the artist replied:
Move your head little that way
and shut your mouth"
His lordship, annoyed at the appar.
ent discourtesy, then said:
MAY ask you why you address me
In this manner?"
Still absorbed in his work, the artist
unconcernedly answered:
II want to take off a little of your
cheek.

STYLES In Collars md Stocks.

The general preference at present
seems to be in favor of high, close
stocks for outdoor wear. and fat, easy
collars for the house gowns and SILK
waists. At the neckwear departments
of the big drygoods houses they sell
examples of this latter model out OF
heavy yellow Irish, Dutch or Italian
lace. in combination with velvet or
mirror velveteen; and from France
they are sending over delicate lawn
and linen fiat collars, with white en-
broidery around the edges and on the
points. These are fastened with big
old-fashioned cameo or seed pearl
brooches.
Should a woman prefer something
quite as airy though less severe than
a perfectly fiat collar she can do no
better than wear one of the new
tucked silk muslin collars, the pat
tern of which only came into being
a short time ago. The band Of mus
lin that clasps the neck is tucked to
give it stiffness AMI body, and the tie
ends are tucked almost to their tips
where they are finished with rows Of
hemstitching or a broad hem, briar
stitched down. In some cases single
thickness of colorei liberty silk is
tackled on the inside Of the neckband,
and often enough of cafe all lait mus
lin is employed instead of the ivory
white.
Instead of French knots, once so
popular in the decoration of fancy
neckties, the bumor now is for pret-
tily beaded or pearl sprlnkled stocks,
and for some of the fashionable new
spring tailor dresses the most won
derful adjustable jewelled collars Of
leather have been introduced. A
beautifully dressed suede or glace kid
Is used for this purpose. The collar
is cut from one strip Of delicate skin,
trimmed with fiat cabochon, turquoise,
pearls or steel beads, lined with 4 soft
satin, and is hooked On with any gown
with which it will harmcnize.
Women faithful to the stiff linen
collar wear starched Roman bands,
such as the clergy use, and with this
broad folded bunting tie of the rich
est, softest blrd's-eye silk. This is,
however, rarely seen, save in the
makeup of smart automobiling CO.'S
tune, when the tie is red or unat new
shade of haberdashery blue known as
Irish eyes.-New York Sun.

II is proposed to establish a dress-

It Is proposed to establish a drese-
making and cuttlng department in the
institution, for many of the girls have
liking for sewing, although they did
not know how to take a stitch wlen
they came into the home.
In addition to this training the girls
receive a common school education in
the branches of reading, writing AMI
arithmetic.
It is not all work at the school,
however. The grounds are ample AMI
beautiful, and the girls go out every
day, while for rainy days they nave
two large piayrooms. Part of their
work, even, is regarded as play by
them, as they thoroughly enjoy the
gardening, sewing and cooking. Un-
der the training of skilled gardener
they grow most of the vegetables used
in the school, and have the finest
flower garden in the locality. The
vegetables and fruits not needed for
summer consumption they can and
preserve for winter.
Ten and eighteen years of age are
the limits of commitment, and 4 girl
committed to the school remains in
its custody until she is twenty-one.
After a years residence she may be
placed with g private family, from
which she reports from time to time.
Her earnings are sent to the institu-
tion, and the money is banked and
held in trust for her, necessary en-
penscs being deducted. Every child
Of the school receives a bankbooll for
this purpose. From such earnings one
of the girls now has S129 to her crenlt.
ami the aggregate runs into hundreds
Of dollars.
In almost every case absolute re-
form is effected, and many of the girls
are respectfully and happily married.
