Evening Service.

evening services in the dark. 81 don't

Let me lllustrate." He turned the
parlor gas all but out. In ten ticks of
the clock a profound religious feeling
pervaded the cozy corner, and slipping
sounds told of devotional exercises be-
gun. Then, with a sigh of ecstasy,
she softly murmured: "Ah! This is

USES FOR BLUE PRINTS.

Camera devotees have discovered
some charming little ways of handling
their blue prints. A particularly good
effect is gained by framing the prints
with black or gray and using dull
red mat. Pond or woodland scenes
handled in this way make delightful
color touches for the dining-room or
smoking-room walls. Again, the blue
tints can be transferred to linen by
process which the Photographic supply
people reveal to their patrons and
used for fancywork. These cloth
prints make dainty medallions for the
lid or panels Of bureau boxes. They
can be employed for glove sachets,
photograph frames and in variety
Of other articles. Pasted upon white
card the thumbnail blue prints make
the daintiest place cards imaginable
for luncheons. One bright woman, the
possessor of beautiful baby, blue
printed a snapshot of the youngster
taken in a smiling mood and trans
ferred it to the sheets of notepaper
used in inviting a mothers club to
converse at her home. This charming
idea is capable Of wide variation. In
vitations for different small functions
could be decorated with appropriate
subjects printed in blue.-Good House
keeping.

A touch Of purple is seen on many
hats.
Some of the smartest muffs are
shown in melon and heart shape.
A rather pretty hair ornament is Of
white oak leaves set with brilliants.
A small blue beetle trying to crawl
along a gold branch forms an attract
i've brooch.
The old-time Jersey has returned
again in a much trimmed and much

The popular combination now seems
to be blue velvet and chinchilla and
brown zibeline and sable.
The soft girdle, wide in the back and
drawn down to almost nothingness in
front, is preferred above all others.
An enamelled brooch is in the shape
of an autumn leaf, and shows all the

Dresden buttons close picturesquely
any of the white blouses except those
of sheer white lawn, now so much

Collar and cuff sets of huckaback,
done in cross stitch are the latest to
be adopted by the most styishly

A shirt composed Of three deep
hounces to the waist is to be much

The mode of sewing heavy lace on
fur and combing the fur through the
meshes is one of the seasons fancies,
and gives the effect Of embroidery on
fur.
The hip yoke steadily grows in favor
and will be distinguishing feature of

Embroidered buttons in silk, cloth

Silk bands are quite as much en-
ployed on cloth as ever, and they may
be Of moire or taffeta and finished on
the edges with fine silk braid sewn
on in some little pattern which gives
a pretty, indescribable effect.

cHIcAGo'S QUEER TWINS.
Between Them They Have Twenty
four Finuers and Toes.


On the West Side there are two baa
bies with "a fingers and toes. They
are twins, and were born only a few
days ago. Their mother is Mrs. D. w.
Hartney, who lives 353 West Harrison
street. The twins have six fingers on
each hand and six toes on each foot.
They are bright, healthy little girls
Their fingers and toes are perfectly
formed and are growing in proportion.
In fact at first glance one would not
notice the extra digits so symmetrics
ally are they formed. The twins have
proved fascinating attraction in the
neighborhood. The Hartney home is
never without a visitor. Considerable
interest is being manifested in the
twins by the medical professors. Ply
sicians have called to see the babies
and have tried to induce Mr.. HartneS
to have the children taken before the
students at some Of the local colleges.
One doctor told the father that IL he
wished he would remove the extra
fingers and toes, but others advised
him not to consent to any such opera
ton, as the little ones might be Grip
pied for life. The twins look so much
alike the mother has to tie a ribbon
around one of their arms to distin-
guish them.

Mastodon Remains

The finding of mastodon remains
near Newburgh, N. Y, has already
been noted. With these remains there
were found large numbers of tree
trunks both in the muck and in the
mari beneath it, and in many cases the
mastodon bones were found resting
on the trees. Most of the trees were
so rotten that it was impossible to OBJ
tain only small fragments. One spec
linen possesses curious interest. The
tree was lying three fet below the sur
face, in muck, and was very soft and
spongy; and not only on the surface,
but clear through, was of a dark brown
color, almost that of the muck, and per-
haps colored by the muck. Its scien-
tific interest rests upon the fact that in
sections it is polygonal, while the fiat
faces of the trunk that make up the
polygon vary in number from fourteen
to sixteen, some of the faces merging
into one another at various points
along the trunk. This piece of the
tree is about three feet long, and when
first dug out, about two months ago,
was nearly nine inches thick at one
end and six at the other; but 1t has
shrunk on drying out, until now it
measures five and three inches, respec-
lively. Nj other pieces Of this tree
were found, although the adjoining lay
ers of muck were carefully dug over
and examined, in hope of obtaining
more of it. Several of the other trees
showed while still wet the marks of the
teeth of animals, and it has been sur
missed that this was the work of beav-
ers. When dried, however, the tooth
marks became less distinct, and their
study was, therefore, made difficult.

THE REIGN OF RIBBON.

= This is a ribbon winter. Ribbons Of
all shades, width and styles are much
tu vogue. A white satin sash strewn
with great pink roses is extremely
etch and snowy. Equally so is one
where red poppies are thrown upon
b white satin ground, with black velvet
ktripes. An odd effect is obtained in
a white and pink silk sash, which has
velvet daisies strewn over it.
Very rich in effect is broad ribbon
of this kind, having a black ground
striped with bright colors. New and
stylish are the zibeline ribbons, with
long, hairy pile. Then there are the
silver tissues strewn with colored
flowers and bordered with a white
satin stripe and the lowered gold bor-
dered with black and white and gold
mixtures.

Color In the Arctics,

My first experience of color in the
arctics. says Frank Wilbert Stokes, led
me to believe that from the most regal
purples, golds and crimsons of sun
light to the black-purples, grays and
gray-greens of storms there existed no
intermediate effects. But sojourn
of year in the northland proved that
great Natures palette was here set
with more varied riches than else
where. Especially was this true of
the color effects of the long twilight Of
approaching winter, the returning light
Of day, and even in the heart of the
polar night.

PATHS SMALLEST AUDIENCE.

/ Nine. Patti, whose one appearance
on the concert platform during Lon
don season does not nearly satisfy the
wishes of her many admirers, tells a
story of the occasion when her audi
ence was the smallest on record, con-
sisting as it did of only one person.
The lucky individual was a child.
During q tour some years ago in
America Nine. Patti was unable to
sing at one Of the concerts; the bad
weather kept her indoors.
While she was quietly resting in her
hotel, she heard child crying, and 60
ing into room where the child was,
Mime. Patti found that the little one
was in trouble because her mother
had gone to hear Nine. Patti sing.
She had wanted to go, but was not well
enough to be allowed out of doors.
Mime. Patti tried to console the child,
and at last said she would sing to
her. The child did not accept the offer
very readily; she said she wanted to
hear Nine. Patti sing. However, be-
fore the first song was finished the
child had recognized the great singer,
and when the little impromptu concert
was over, the audience was supremely
happy.-Golden Penny.

FOLDING A TABLECLOTH.

When not in use a tablecloth should
be kept in folded creases, and when
brought out to be spread should be laid
on the table and unfolded its entire
length the width being doubled, with
the centre crease along the centre of
the table Then the half breadth that
is folded should be turned back and
the cloth will hang evenly. Careless
servants often gather up cloth 'any-
how" without taking the trouble to
fold it up again in its own creases, and
thus fresh ones are made. A table
cloth will last fresh-looking as long
again if it is always folded up after
Its own folds and put away until the
next meal.

East Indian turbaned heads seem to
be one of the favorite designs in scarf

also the symbol of perfection in color,

"NEw WOMAN" AND ANCIENT.

"NEW WOMAN" AND ANCIENT.
One of the pet reproaches made
against the new woman is that in her
unseem1y longing to stand upon the
same footing as her aforetime lord and
master she invented the fashion Of
wearing garments of mannish cut.
This is most unjust, and she may
readily be proved guiltless of the
charge by trifling Investigation of
the fashions of ancient times and of
conservative countries, where the poor
things are as unemancipated as pos
sible, and still wear the same style of
garments as their foremothers Of a
thousand years ago.
The Chinese lady, as every traveller
\ testified, is one Of the most modest,
retiring and conventional Of creatures,
vet she wears clothes almost exactly
like those Of her husband and brothers.
Indeed, in China trousers are consid-
cred much more proper as feminine
garments than skirts.

cal with that of the husband who
