The Alsatian rraid Cow.

A recent and worthy invention for
The retaining of the hair when done UP
in braids is called the "Alsatian Braid
Bow" This is a clever little arrange
,ment through which a bow of ribbon
lis passed In such manner that there
is no necessity for the ribbon being
wound around the hair
1t is well-klow2 fact that when
you tie the ribbon around the hair
Ionce it is mussed up, so when you
come to tie it the second time it ap-
pears much like wet String. With
but quarter of yard of ribbon it is
possible with this new invention to
make a bow which requires neither
tying nor sewing and can be used for
an indef1ire time.
The young girl who is always using
hair ribbons will appreciate another
iaa1uable characteristic of this new
braid bow, which is, that it is impos-
,sible for the ribbon to become united
from the hair without being manipu-
lated by the fingers. The ribbon can
be changed instantly, and attached to
the hair in minute.

The Windows of Her Soul.

A famous beauty specialist recon-
Imends those among her patients who
lsuffer from styes and other weak
inesses of the eyelids, like red rims,
to bathe them with a solution of sea
salt and water. Zinc ointment, she
has repeatedly noticed, acts like a
charm when the eyelasbes have
dropped out as result of weakness
OF the eyes, bringing them into full
and i.Ga:ssuciant growth again, but it is
not the least good for woman whose
Ieyelashes are normal to use it in the
hope Of improving them. Eyebrows

them the wrong way up, and then by

Helen Kallar on n Warskip.

Helen Keller spent her summer va
cation in Halifax, and when the III
diana visited that Canadian city Miss
Keller was invited to go on board.
Lieutenant James j. Raby did the
honors of the day. In letter which
speaks of that visit he writes: 1T
was an honor to show Miss Keller over
the Indiana, and the very happlest
incident of the cruise for me. Her
delight at being aboard was great
pleasure to me, and more than once
my eyes filed with tears when |
looked at her beautiful face that could
not return my gaze. She is wonder
fM woman, and 1 was astonished at
her knowledge of ships and their ap-
pliances. When we showed her the
turret she wanted to know where tho
'sighting-hood' was. l had never be-
fore known woman who knew what
a sighting-hood is, so that you can
we'll imagine my surprise" When
the Spanish war was in full blast
Miss Keller first heard from the news
papers of the "sighting-hood," and it
was ever after her ambition to know
for herself what it was. Boston

Houseworl< Costum ca.

A teacher of physical culture, asked
by the present writer If women could
make housework easier by a knowl-
edge Of how the muscles ought to be
used. said, "Yes, most decidedly"
1T is not" she explained, because
household labor can be done very diff
ferently, but by knowing how to rest
in breathing spells between such work
anu by dressing hygienically. If pub
lie opinion would not forbid, 1 would
declare for every woman doing house
work In gymnasium suit. l adopted
it years ago, and know number Of
women who wear 1t when they sweep
or scrub. at house cleaning time it Is
genuine emancipation. Watch Il
man and woman do housecleaning.
He can wash, paint, dust, scrub, hang
pictures readily and with little effort.
At 6 o'clock the woman is completely
tagged, her skirts are draggled and
dirty and a score Of times through
the day she has been in danger OF
breaking her neck. If you should
once sweep or scrub in bloomers you
would never do the job again in skirts
if you had to lock every door and draw
down the shades. Of course ring at
the doorbell would throw woman
into a panic unless custom were to
sanction the gymnasium suit. Women
must DO the next best thing, wear
short skirt and d loose, comfortable
waist Corsets should never be worn
at work; it makes every task more
toilsome because the greatest free
dom Of movement is required. If alb
solutely necessary, don loose, un-
boned waist or bust supporter. Then
lay aside tight collars, which compress
the neck as uncomfortably as a corset
does the body. The high, close collar
which has been in vogue is to blame
for throat troubles, and if women
could only be brought to believe it,
they are running their necks. Ugly
wrinkles and darkened skin are in
evitable results of shutting from the
throat every breath of fresh air.
"a working blouse may be comfort
ably made with the neck open and

Sweet Simplicity in Morning Gowns.

Sweet Simplicity in Morning Gowns.
Sweet simplicity is just now the rule
for cotton morning gowns abroad and
at home, and most of the little confec'
tions which smart dressmakers are
showing have a diary maid air that
is most alluring.
The stamp of the frock comes
chiefly through the way in which it
is worn, and of course suitable &C.
cessories are required to create the
ensemble of urdeniable elegance
necessary for the woman of fashion.
Nevertheless, the whole effect of one
of these pretty print costumes-fcr
even the old time calicos are seen in
tnem, in designs of trellised vines and
stiff, quaint roses-is one of rural
charm. When pink and green print
is topped by rough straw hat
crowded with old maid roses, cherries
or apple boughs, the result is refresh
ingly countryfed.
The model Of the cotton gown is
unusually as simple as the material.

Hand Work Everywhers.

1t Is astonishing what a quantity Of
hand work one sees on street clothes
nowadays. Everywhere one comes
across hts of the most elaborate en-
broidery, in vests, cuffs and collars,
black being introduced with deep
reds. blues and yellows with superbly
decorative result. Sometimes the en-
broidery is in the Russian cross-stitch,
with the rich tan of the coarse canvas
upon which it is worked showing at
itervals. This, in red and black, is
very chic on flannel shirtwaists in
solid colors, the embroidery forming
collar, cuffs, button band and belt.
Some very rich hand embroidery in
gold and black threads appears on q
bolero which is copied from a late
French gown. This costume is as as
founding as it is effective in the COM
bination of its materials A skirt and
sleeves of bright red frieze are min
utely checked with narrow lines in
black; the novel jacket is red cloth,
while the under bodice and lower
sleeves are no less than a black jersey
in spun silk! Where the panels of
the jacket lap, back and front, are
placed small gilt buttons in rows of

Irish point lace in clear white is
used for some of the exquisite even

from Paris.
One of the smartest shirtwaists
seen this fall was of coral cloth
stitched in self color and fastened with
small gilt buttons. On the left side
was tiny pocket.
Cuff links are attractive, of curved
cyal, pink tinted, baroque pearls, each
pearl held with four little clamps of
gold. 1t is much prettier than solid
setting of gold.
Chinchilla is to be extensively used
for trimming purposes this winter,
particularly with velvet. In combina-

it makes an especially handsome gar

There is more Catarrh in this section OF the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurcble. For great many years doctors
pronounced 1t c local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
curable. Science has proven catarrh to be
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney Il Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses from
10 drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on

Health the Fest Cosmetic.

Everybody should be beautiful now.
Judgment fr-m the elaborate advice
given in ladies papers, writes Lady
Violet Greville in London Graphic,
yet the most beautiful complexions
and the greatest youthfulness Of skin
and appearance I have seen were in
ladies who had never used cosmetics
or anything stronger than distilled
water, cold cream and perhaps milk
of roses or elder-fower water. Health
is the best cosmetic, and fresh air
the most excellent panacea. Above
all, let us avoid being raddled with
red and smeared with white like the
eighteenth century bellies.

The best glass for cutting purposes

flint glass is made at different factories
and is extremely heavy. Despite the
fact that in cutting out the design half

weigh as much as six or eight pounds.
lne work is done by holding the OBJ

water. The first work in the process
is to mark the design on the glass
