JAUNTY HALF COATS.

Pert, crisp and jaunty are the dainty
half coats Of linen, pique, lace and silk
that are attracting the eye and purse Of
maid and matron alike.
The Jackets are loose and come to
half way between waist and knee.
Most Of them are double breasted, fast
ened with big buttons Of pearl, porce-
lain or cut steel. The chief ornaments
of the jackets, aside from the attract
sveness of cut and material, are the
wide circular collars that fall grace
fully beyond the shoulder seams on the
sleevkN In many the bell sleeve. wide
flowing at the band, is to be seen.
One exquisite Jacket Of coffee colored
renaissance lace over taffeta of shade
darker is quite loose, fastened single
breasted in scalloped edge. with por-
celain buttons painted with arbutus
buds. A large circular collar Of lace,
fastened at the throat with a wide
sash of cofee-colored satin ribbon.
rested coquettishly on the rest Of the
dainty garment.
Crash and pique have come in for a
comparatively rev use In the short
box coat. Crash Jackets are made Sc
verely plain, with n any rows of stitch
ing and big smoked pearl buttons as
their main ornament.-Pittsburg Dis

ORIENTAL EMBROIDERY.

Bonds Of Oriental or Russian en-
broidery brighten up many of the new
gowns, and always give an air of dis
tinction to the dress. Navy blue serge
looks quite uncommon when 1t Is
trimmed with Russian embroidery, and
zibeline takes on a new charm when
relieved with bands of Eastern work
/ Black velvet dresses are being much
kworn, especially by fair women, and
have also noticed some pretty dresses
in gray velvet.
A charming gown which formed part
of the trousseau of a recent bride was
made in sifver-gray velveta lined with
palest blue silk. The seams We're laced
across with silver cord, and q beautiful
collar was worn, made Of white gui-
pure laid over pale blue and threaded
with silver and embroidered with tur-
quolse.
Turquoise combs were worn in the
hair, and other ornaments of the same
pretty stones were added to the bodice
All fashionable women are wearing
what they call "bits of blue"-turquoise
chains. or necklaces of turquoise ma
trix. This latter is always such fas-
cinating object, with its strange streaks
of brown and green.
Strings Of pearls are more popular
than ever, and jeweled chateIaines,
gold or silver purses, and large dia-
: mond rings, frequently covering the
fingers up to the knuckles, are much
worn. The abundance of necklaces.
which used to be so much liked, has
now become a thing of the past; at
present the pendant is the important
point, and 1t is better to let it hang
from slender chain.-New York
News.

WITHOUT REHEARSAL.

The great ceremonials of the world s
history, coronations, inaugurations,
even weddings, can be, and are re-
hearsed. The orator goes carefully
over his periods, and plans to turn
possible Interruptions to his own ad-
vantage; but for the real emergencies
Of life there Is no rehearsal. The man
or woman meets the test, whatever it
may be, and stands or falls by it, with
no opportunity to try that particular
struggle again.
Henry Carter was thrown from his
moving machine the other day, and
terribly cut in the groin. When the
doctor came he said that the mans
life had been saved by the desperate
pressure Of his daughters thumb on
the spouting artery. She had remem-
bered n lesson in physiology, learned
in school, and she had courage enough
to apply 1t at the critical moment, al
though she dropped in n faint when
the doctor took her place at her IA
ther's side.
When four-year-old Tommy Gates
fell into the river, there was one Of
the boys with him who knew how to
drain the water from his lungs and
bring him back to life again; yet he
had never before tried to help drown
ing person.
1t was an impulse that forced Frank
Murphy to spring from the sidewalk
and seize the bride of a runaway
horse that In another moment would
have been trampling the life out of a
score Of school children; but the i'm
pulse had its roots far back in some
unknown deep of character.

Swallow-tail bows deck many a new
corsage.
SunhoweY rosettes are attractive on
headgear.
Tuclzing is IN favor. 1t must be very
fine or very coarse.
Medallions of lace in all sorts and

Chantilly and Irish point are COM

The favored fabrics grow coarser in
weave and more open in texture with

1t Is said dipped laces have not the
greatest vogue because they wear
abominably.
A ruch trimmed ruffle appears upon
the majority Of the latest black taffeta
underskirts
Fichu draperies will be the compile
ment Of the thin cotton gown in the
majority Of cases.
The "mitten" sleeve, that is, one with
long, tight gauntlet cuff Of lace, Is
one Of the very newest and smartest.
Beautiful lace collars, so wide as to
almost reach the top Of the snugly-fit-
ting girdle, are almost Indispensable to
the stylish bodice.
Belts Of black satin bands alternat-
ing with rows Of narrow lace, with TAB
fronts and pendant purse of the same
material, are recent introductions that
are both convenient and good looking.
The sun shades of the summer Of
1903 are almost as elaborate inside as
out. Their Innings are tucked, ruffled
with chiffon and adorned with lace.
When held over the shoulder these
form a most effective background
In the realm Of costly parasols the
top notch Of elegance is the all-lace
parasol, preferably the lovely thread
lace. Mounted over silk with misty
blurred colorings and with gold ham
die set with gems, surely 1t is fit for
princess use.
The sleeve of yesterday came to its
climax of bagginess at the wrist. To-
day the climax is at the elbow, whence
the sleeve tapers to the wrist. The
present sleeve is an elegant little COM
plexity, and even If carried out in one
fabric must be stitched and strapped
and embroidered.

THE FEMININE FIB.

A distinguished preacher once divid-
ed lies into "black lies, white lies, gray
lies and Chinese lies" The feminine
fib is generally judicious blend Of the
white lie and the Chinese lie. For the
benefit of those who have never grad
uated in the special mendacity trlpos 1t
may be explained that Chinese lie is,
as rule, purely ornamental, being in
the nature of embroidery, which is in
tended to add beauty and color to the
plain object on which 1t is used as trim
ming.
The Chinese lie is prompted by the
very highest and noblest Of motives
namely, a desire to give pleasure to
others; many n plain, dull fact being
served up and made quite tasty and ap-
petizing by little judicious garniture
Of Chinese-er-embroidery. Directed
into the proper channel, Chinese liar
becomes a skilful writer Of fiction, and
turns her gift to profitable account.
But the everyday feminine amateur.
who has not this outlet for her tara
diddular talent, turns her attention to
spice to whatever gossip is going by a
gentle peppering of fibs.
She meets a man on the other side of
the street, who raises his hat and
dashes along to catch his train. and y
the time she has reached the tea table
for which she is bound she is prepared
to give circumstantial evidence of the
eager manner in which he hurried
across the road, the efrusive way in
which he grasped her hand with lin
gering pressure, gazing the while into
her lustrous eyes. And she can repeat
word for word all the sweet sayings
and sugary compliments which he
would no doubt have paid her If he had
had the time.
Unfortunately this gift Of imagina-
tion is often accompanied by defect
i've memory, whereas to make a good
er-prevaricator nothing Is so essential
as good memory. Without this the
most certain to get found out sooner or
later generally sooner. and then she
has the modification of finding that
her little efforts to please quite fail in
their effect. And not only that, but,
what is more trying still, she even finds
that when, from lack Of material for
fictional purposes, she does for once
serve up the cold ungarnished truth.
her hearers have so got In the habit OF
disbelieving her that her plain state
ment Is received with incredulty. That
is why any one who aims at distinction
In the fbbing world must carefully cul-
tivate a good memory. and so follow
the golden rule-to avoid being found
out.-Modern Society.

position only the first joints of the
little fingers will be in the scissors, as
you will observe in Fig. 2. Now bring
your hands still closer together and
roll your knuckles outward, bringing
your hands toward you until the backs
meet, then downward and upward
and the scissors, if you have mastered
the trick, will turn blades upward as
already explained in Fig. 8.
In handling the scissors be careful
that no one gets hurt by carelessly
tossing them toward the eyes Or face,
as some are apt to do unless warned

THE INDIA SHAWL.

Though India shawls possess great
value they are seldom bought or sold
nawadays. There's good reason for
this. They are hardly worn at all. De
spite many stories of the attractive
wraps into which they may be con-
verted there's one pair Of eyes that
have been open all winter and. have not
rested on a single one. This shows
that not everybody has taken to the
wholesale slaughtering of these rare
and beautiful shawls. 1t Is silly to cut
one up for wrap which will be passe
IN few seasons
Another thing: Many Of them are
priced quite as much for their associa-
tions, having been handed down, gen.
Grafton after generation, as FOR their
great money value. If your great
grandpapa beought your great-grand-
mamma one from India, and 1t has at
length come down to you, you appre-
ciate just how this is.
English brides In high life received
this proverbial gift from the late Queen
Victoria. And every woman of means
on either side Of the Atlantic has, in
the absence Of thoughtful ancestors or
rich and liberal friends, quietly pro-
vided herself with one of these treas
ures.
An India shawl is like some other
things in this life-you haven't any
earthly use for 1t, yet you feel robbed
If you haven't got It
Since cutting one up is out Of the
question, save with iconoclastic souls,
its seasons Of exploitation are restrict
ed to sartorial conferences with dear
est friends and festive occasions when
it is spread over library table that is
perhaps the worse for wear.

THE MAGIC HAMMOCK.

Such queer hammock 1t was. Some.
times 1t was large enough to hold Bess
and Bennie and Bert with plenty Of
room to spare for dollies and kitties,
and even Bert's little pug dog Popsey.
Then the next day it would be SO small
that there was just barely room for
one little child, with one little dolly or
kitty. This is the way 1 found out
about 1t:
One day Bert and Popsey were hav-
ing nice swing in the hammock and
sat on the porch watching them.
Pretty soon Bess came out with Kitty
Grey in her arms, and said: "Let us
get in, too, Bert"
"No," said Bert, ''there isn't room
only just for Popsey and me-
"Why, Bert" 1 said, that's very
strange. Is not that the same ham
mock that held all of you this morn
ing"
"Yes'm.", said Robert. hanging his
head
II will tell you how it is" said grand
ma, who sat by the window with her
knitting. ut is y magic hammock,
with puckering string. One fairy
always let's out the string as far as she
can and takes in all the children. She
is good fairy and her name is Love.
The other is bad fairy, called Selfish
ness. She always draws up the string
so tight that only one boy or girl. with
his own pet dog or kitty, can possibly
squeeze in"
Bert looked so red and ashamed that
said: "Shall we call the other fairy,
Bert" He nodded his head, and I
called softly: "Come, Love; come,
Lover
And, If you will believe it, the mo-
ment I spoke the words the hammock
flew wide open, and Bess and Kitty
Grey sprang in. Bert's face was all
smiles, and the hammock swung so
gaily that feared the children would
be tossed out.-The Round Table.

circle, all pointing toward the centre
Of the basin.
Touch the water at the centre with
bit Of soap. The matches at once
move away and form larger circle
close to the edge of the basin. Take
out the soap and dip lump Of sugar
in the water at the centre of the basin.
The matches Immediately come back
and cluster about the sugar.
This simple and amusing experiment
illustrates two scientific principles. In
the first place'every liquid acts in many
ways as If its surface consisted Of a
tightly stretched elastic membrane or
skin. In other words, the liquid has
what is called Surface tension" Now,
the strength of this surface tension, or
pull, is different in different liquids.
1t is stronger in pure water, for ex-
ample, than in soapy water. Conse.
quently, when you dip the soap in the
water the tension at the centre and the
pull toward the centre are diminished
and the matches are pulled away by
the stronger tension of the pure water
outside.
Again, if you dip a corner of lump
sugar in water, the water, as you
know very well, rises rapidly and vets
the whole lump. In the same way
water rises In small tubes and oil in
lamp wlcks.

THE AMERICAN WOMAN.

Are American women growing better

ally by magazine writer's, and then
they write long essays to prove that
they are. The truth Is that American
women are and always have been good
looking. What often leads to the gen.
eral remarks that women look more
beautiful to-day than formerly is the
difference between the styles Of wear
ing apparel in vogue now and those of
fifty years ago. At theatre or social

cover which is the daughter and which
