FROM FRIEND TO ENEMY.
Transition That Is All Too Easy of


How little we know what is behind
the smiling masks of flesh and blood
which are really all that we a see
of our dearest friends," said a woman.
"De MOntesquieu tells us that II we
scratch q Russian we find a Tartar,
but it is a criticism that in a way APP
plies 10 every one, for it needs only a
little abrasion to transform our former
intimates into hostile acquaintance,
and we can hardly recognize the peo-
pie whom we once so much liked in
the 'Tartars' whom a slight scratch
has so completely changed. We fain
would ask ourselves which is the real
person, the friend whom we formerly
knew or the individual who seems so
entirely different. 1t behooves us,
therefore. to walk warily and refrain
from iostling our companions If we

Symbolism In EGGS.

Among the curiosities recently ac'
quired by the department of Egyp'
tan and Assyrian antiquities in the
British Museum is an ostrich egg
pierced for suspension and covered
with traces of a painted design, prob
ably of a predynastic period. Accord
ing to the experts of the department,
this egg Is certainly nearly six thou
sand years old, as the design was
made not later than B. C. 1000. The
egg of the ostrich Is said to have pos.
sessed some religious significance
even in the predynastic period.-Lon.

Hair of All Shades,

No one has visited Fiji in the past
without being astonished at the fear
full and wonderful styles of hairdress-
ing. They are geometrical, monu-
mental, pyramidal and t~rapezoidal. An
additional factor in this production OF
the grotesque is that the hair varies
in color as lime varies in bleaching
power. or as the Juice of the mangrove
in coloring matter. Between black
and white the colors run through the
blue.black and all the shades of red
and yellow. Often half the hair Is red
and the other half white, giving a kind
of piebald effect.

EnqIish Architecture.

1t is a curious fact that the most
artistic modern houses in England are
those OF the very wealthy and the
very poor. The rich are building their
own; the poor, in a few favored places,
are having theirs built TOR them, and
in their different ways they are the
nearest approach we have to model
homes. Between these extremes

class, for whom there is being pro.

THREE GOOD THINGS.

Nothing keeps me alive but the
three RS" said a bright literary woIr-
an laterly to the Philadelphia Ledger
Il don't mean the three which are
usually referred to-'reldin', 'ritin' and
'rithmetic,' but these three-reading
resting and rummaging. And 1 al
most said the greatest of these is
rummaging.
by reading I do not mean gallop-
ing through the latest works in order
to review them, or because other peo-
pie will think me an antediluvian if
l say I haven't read them. By reading
l mean holding some pet book, patting
its cover with a loving touch, look
ing at it, or, perhaps, browsing over
lit, but absorbing it through more
channels than the brain. The "Es-
says of Ella is one of the books which
l like to read in this fashion.
"By resting, l mean throwing my
self, boots and brains, upon certain
broad, low couch, with faded Bag
dad cover and divers pillows of various
shapes and sizes. After a half hour
spent there the cobwebs leave my
brains, and all life's tangles become
unraveled. Another method of resting

FALL FANCIES IN
MULTI-COLORED
CORSET COVERS

With the approach of cooler wealth
er and the consequent advent of lined
bodices, there is a chance for the girl
who delights in pretty underwear to
experiment with colors. While anything
that is conspicuous beneath a thin
waist is in bad taste, and the taking
of the public into ones confidence
with regard to underwear is a sarto-
rial abomination, there are many at
tractive things that may be made for
girls own delectation which are SIM
pie and delightfully."- becoming.
The corset cover, more than any
other undergarment. lends itself TO
colors and dimities of the old time
Powered patterns in delicate designs,
tiny rosebuds in pink, delicate vines
of lavender, or small patterns of blue
flowers.
The simplest way Of making one of
these covers is to take a straight piece
of the material. enough to go around
the body easily, gather it, put bead
ing on at the top and bottom, run in
ribbons and draw up at the waist and
around the shoulders. On the upper
part a little edge of lace is put on
above the beading, and the result is
as dainty a corset cover as may be
imagined. To hold the waist over the
shoulders either ribbons are tackled on
both sides at the back and front and
tied on the shoulder. or at either side
the beading with its narrow lace Is car
ried over the arm. hemmed to make a
little strap, and the plain dimity
hemmed beneath the arm. The rib
bon over the shoulder is pretty but
less serviceable than the strap of the
trimming.
Some girls are putting on two mar
row rows Of beading around the up
per part Of the corset cover and run
ming in two ribbons Of different col
or For instance. there may be
little pattern Of rose and green leaves
IN the design, and a rose and a pale
green ribbon run IN each, tying IN

girl makes the ends OF the ribbons

NEW GOWNS.

Miss Maxine Elliott, the beautiful
actress. says the New York Tribune,
dined at Sherry's in a beautiful gown
of white spotted net trimmed with
appliques of heavy, creamy white lace.
This lace formed a deep yoke on the
bodice, hip yoke on the skirt, and
banded the skirt at the knees besides
forming a deep border at the bottom
of the gown. All these appliques were
finished with deep, downward turning
points. The upper sleeves were band
ed with the lace above the elbows and
fell in sagging points. A huge black
hat. with rather high crown aud
trimmed with wingpompons and black
aigrettes at each side, topped the gown.
With Miss Elliott was a much smaller
woman in a princess robe of Irish lace
over chiffon, and wearing a small hat
formed of one immense scarlet poppy.
The poppy was made of innumerable
notched leaves of 1uted scarlet silk.
She wore one American Beauty rose
at the bust line of her corsage and
Miss Elliott wore two.

half dozen or more tucks across the
center of the back. These run right
and left, the longest one in the middle
and the others growing shorter above
and below.
Every other girl lately has been max
ing herself a handkerchief corset cover.
1t is made with two handkerchiefs, one
half pointing up in the back and the
other with the opening out. The
halves of the other handkerchief point
down under the arms. The whole Is
put together with lace insertion and
finished top and bottom like the dimt:y
and dotted muslin corset covers.
Colored handkerchiefs, pretty pinks
and blues in solid colors, or hand
kerChiefs with colored borders, are be-
ing used.
Straight around materials for corset
covers. in all white, are always to be
had in the shops i'm eighteen-inch
widths of Hamburgs or Hamburgs and
laces. with wide edges with openings IN
the top for running in the ribbons, thus
obviating the necessity of sewing on
the headings.
All-over beading designs of net are
made into elaborate corset covers. The
consecutive lines of beading run with
the bebe ribbon. finishing at the top
with innumerable loops or small bows,
but these are costly, and are usually
made of the color of some transparent
gown under which they are worn, and
are more an article of regular wearing
apparel than underwear.
The dimity corset covers were first
brought over from France. A woman
who delights in lowered materials

She took this method of disposing of
her wares, as she thus saved the per-
centage charged when the transaction
was carried on through the medium of
an exchange. At many a swell lunch
con these homemade bonbons were re-
ceived with great favor by the guests
present, who were tired of the same
ness of French confessions.
Another young woman wrote a let
ter to one of the prominent leaders of
society just before much heralded
dinner dance given at her magnificent
mansion on the cliffs and frankly stat
ed her case, saying that she wanted
to get the list for the newspapers and
that her descriptions of toilets would
be correct and the Identification of
gown and wearer absolute. The leader
engaged her as a private scribe to fur
nsh a complete and comprehensive ac-
count of the affair for publication
Many of the important functions after
this were reported in this fashion, the
young woman being paid by both pa
pers and the hostesses.
The arrangement of wild flowers as
decorations for luncheon and tea tables
was made a feature by another enter

blossoms which her own exquisite taste
formed into unique and artistic decora-

The visiting maid, while not a new

that class of young women who are
stronger on ancestry than pocket
money. These do not dwell in any of
the show houses, but enjoy their sum-

Kay, Catherine, Francis and other
streets of similar aristocratic stolldlty.
Of course. these girls are invited
everywhere. Such good old names as
theirs look we'll in the printed lists of
social functions Therefore many a

of her enea gements so that she never
created disappointments or clashes, she
left Newport with enough to live
comfortably in New York all winter.

LUXURIES FOR SERVANTS.

The new palaces built in this city,
says the New York Sun. every year
do not supply luxuries for their owners
alone. The employees are also looked
after and provision is made for their
comfort to a degree never known any
where else.
In one of the new houses on an up
town street near Fifth avenue the
men servants quarters consist of
three small rooms on the top floor. Adj
joining them is a small tiled room
with a shower a plunge bath and
sprays. In the same room are three
basins in order that the men may all
wash simultaneously if they want to.
Downstairs adjoining the entrance
hall is another sleeping room for a
man servant and it has as much light
and air as any in the house, In ad-
dition to having a private bath.
The rooms for the women servants
are on the top floor and accommodate
six. They are so arranged that two
sleep in each room and have the use
of a bathroom. In addition to these
apartments, there are two rooms and
a bath to be used by anv servant who
happens to be i'll. These two rooms are
so situated that a servant in them may
be duarantined as completely as If

from it only by dressing room is the
apartment of the head nurse, which
is, of course, supplied with its private
bath. Near the room of the mistress
of the house is the room of her maid
and il has the same conveniences as
the others.
Thus are the servants of the
wealthy housed. When il is taken
into consideration that these rooms
are kept in order and supplied with
everything needful by the housekeeper,
the lot of the household servant in the
United States seems more desirable
than ever.
Most houses in which a large staff
of servants are employed have also a
