Some of the New Things That Will
Re Seen in the Costumes
for Winter.

Considera BILE vogue is predicted for
sealskin this winter, both for long
coats and blouses, says the Detroit Free
Press.
Wool laces are very much used on
cloth gowns, and the grape pattern in
clusters of rings is the favorite.
Boas entirely of pinked taffeta ruff
Hes tumbling over each other are among
the autumn novelties.
"Moleskin brown" is one of the novel
shades for wool dress materials, which
tints, advices from Paris state, may be-
appropriately trimmed with the skin
of the namesake animal.
Cape collars of every conceivable
style and depth enter into the finish of
almost every imported gown in sight,
while the sleeves, very close at the top,
just below tn point of the shoulder,
continue the line by swelling out into
varied proportions below the elbow.
The skirts of afternoon frocks, while
not so long as those of recent seasons,
do not clear the ground. They just
touch on the front and sides, and dip
enough at the back to give them an out
curving effect. Evening toilettes, din
ner gowns, tea gowns, ETC., are even
longer than they were year ago.

How to Care for silver.

Any kind of silver in daily use may be
cleaned by immersion in strong borax
and water for two or three hours. The
water should be boiling when the bo-
rax and silver are put in. After the
plate is dry rub with little plate pow
der and polish with chamois. If silver
ornaments in the drawing-room are
not kept in a case they soon tarnish.
They can be frightened by dipping the
articles in strong solution of ammo
mia and hot water. Silver should never
be rubbed with flannel or cotton cloth.
The plate not in general use should be
wrapped carefully in tissue paper to
exclude light and air, as these are
the two factors that cause silver to
become tarnished ashington Star.

WORRY AND INDIGESTION.
Cheerfulness at Table Is Highly Con-
ducive to n Healthy COndi-
ton of Body.

Worry, says Physical Training, is but
one of the many forms of fear; so that
worry tends to the production of indi-
gestion. Indigestion tends to put the
body of the subject in condition that
favors worry. There is thus established
a vicious circle that tends to perpetu-
ate itself, each element augmenting
the other. 1t is necessary to secure
a cheerful, wholesome atmosphere for
the dyspeptic. He should eat his meals
at table where there is good fellow
ship, and where good stories are told.
He should himself make a great effort
to contribute his share of this at the
table, even if it be necessary, as it was
in one case under my care, for him to
solemnly and seriously collect funny
paragraphs from the press, and at first
INTERCEPT them systematically during
lulls in the conversation at the table.
The very efforts and determination of
the man to correct his own silent hab-
its at the table, to correct his feelings
of encouragement and worry, were
in themselves a promise of success.
The effort made was adequate to the
obstacles to be overcome. He succeed
ed, and the spectacle of that man try
ing to be funny at the table when he
felt thoroughly discouraged and blue,
is one l shall never forget.
Laughing is in itself useful exer-
else from the standpoint of indigestion,
says the Dietetic and Hygienic Ga
Zette.

IN THE NURSERY.
Mother Regarding Food for
Children,

The second year of childhood,
dreaded by all mothers as the most
trying in the baby's life, is rendered
more so by the difficulty of adjusting
the diet for a proper transition from
milk to solid food. The tenement
house mother of the New York for
eign ward solves the question very
promptly and simply by setting the
youngster at the table with the rest
and bestowing upon him sauerkraut,
watermelon and any other delectable
dainty that may happen along, says
the Tribune. DR.. Henry Dwight
Chaplin, one of the professors at the
New York postgraduate school AMI
hospital, gives the following menu
for the second year:
Fruits of various kinds are early
allowable, such as apple sauce, baked
apple, stewed dried apples, stewed
prunes and orange juice. The skins
of fruits should never be given. Ali
vegetables should be cooked until as
tender as asparagus tips.
Begin the year with one soft, semi
solid meal day, to take the place of
one bottle. Gradually add a second
and third meal. A good mixture for
the very first solid food is stale
bread crumbs or zweiback soaked in
hot water and served in milk. A
fresh egg, boiled for two minutes and
mixed with crumbs, is good, and
cereals cooked to jelly and served
in milk. Choose the higher grades of
oats, which have less husk, and
change from one cereal to another
for variety.
Meat broths, preferably mutton or
chicken, may begin the second year.
Between IS months and two years the
meats may begin, sparingly and al
ways finely minced. Scraped beef,
rare roast beef, broiled steak or NUT
ton chops, roast lamb, the white
meat of the chicken, and fresh fish,
boiled or broiled, may be given, in
amounts varying with the amount of
exercise and outdoor life the child
gets. No fried food Or tea, coffee or
beer should be allowed. Any succu-
lent vegetable, very thoroughly
cooked, or any milk pudding, may be
given. At the beginning of the sec
ond year the baby will want one
night bottle, and child can have n
bottle once or twice day if he cares
for it until he is three or four years
old. New articles of food should be
introduced into the baby's diet tenta-
lively. Find out what his majesty
thrives on and let him have it. a
great variety is not necessary.

In the Antarctic Circle.

The traveller who attempts to pene-
trate inland in the antarctic circle must
needs depend on the provisions which
he hauls with him. and owing to the
nature Of the land. the elevation and
the many gales which blow, he must
take nearly double as much food with
him to go given distance as would
be the case in the far north.
We, who were the first men to live
for year on the anarctic continent,
found these gales blowing over forty
miles an hour on more than &c per cent
Of the days. and our exact anemome-
tiers registered some gales that were
blowing over hundred miles an hour.
Under these latter conditions 1t was
not only difficult to move. but difficult
to exist. During our sledge Journeys
these gales often compelled US to lie
idle under a snow covering while the
food continued to be used up-Profess-

SOCIETY DUTIES A TASK.
ble Life of the Average Fashionable
Woman Is Mainly a Strenu-
Gus Existence,

The society woman of to-day is
worked much harder than her prede.
eessor of 80 years ago. Then the
fashionable woman's society labors
were confined to the season in town
and at the approach of summer she
hied herself away to the relaxations
of her country seat or some water.
ing place where rest was to be found
To-day after the whirl of the season
in town she goes to her country place
for brief season and keeps up a
round of entertaining there. Then
comes Newport. or jamestown, OF
Bar Harbor, with their continuous
society performance. After a short
period of rest, she is obliged to hurry
back to town to plunge into the sea-
sons swim again, says the Philadel.
phia Press.
The same is true of English So
ciety. Formerly the most energetic
and ambitious of great ladies re.
Stricted her chief London hopitalities
TO the months of May and June, and
had gone back to the mild and rustic
relaXations of her country seat be-
fore the wild roses and strawberries
were over. Now the smart dame is
more or less out of the swim unless
she makes London her headquarters
nearly nine months out of the 12.
August, September, Christmas, Whit
suntide and Easter are the only dates
she can safely annex for a country
holiday or a trip abroad. Even the
up-to-date individual who secures a
luxurious cottage" in the Midlands
or on the river only has time to rush
thither in her motor car for the week
ends.
The fashion of public philanthropy
also throws an extra burden on the
shoulders of the modern society wom-
an. She must sell or buy at bazars,
preside at public meetings and lend
her house for musicales, concerts
and other functions for sweet char
ity's sake.
The study of dress, which is one of
the necessary cults of the day, means
another tax on the time and energy
of women of the modern smart set.
Never have clothes played so prom
inent . part in social life.
The fashionable dame, to be really
up to date, must have an accom-
reputation for originality and vi
vacity. She must be ostentatiously
benevolent, artistic or smart enough
to cover up the lack of good nature.
wit and talent. She will paint, do a
little sculpture or carve wood and
must inevitably collect something,
butterflies, blue china or maybe jew
els.
Altogether, the woman of fashion
to-day leads a strenuous life and has
as great tussel to maintain her So
cial reputation and position as her
poorer contemporary to get through
her DAVIS work and to make both
ends meet when rent day comes
| around.
Though the physique of the modern
woman is said to be superior to that
of her predecessor, the strain she
puts upon it can scarcely fail to have
ultimately deteriorating effects. It
is curious that while the natural
loveliness of the twentieth century
woman is so strenuously proclaimed
the beauty doctor should have such a
vast clientele. The perpetual youth
and attractiveness of the modern
grandmother is one of the marvels
of the age. One is inclined to doubt
whether her athletic, restlessly ener-
getic granddaughter will attain such
a comcly matronhood.
