A WOMAN OF USE.

The biography of Miss Eleanor Om-

interesting. An English lady of
means and good family, she devoted
her whole life TO the interests of sci
ence and agriculture, and her long
and arduous work in studying and
classifying insect pests has conferred
immense benefits on the farmers of
Great Britain. 1t is not often that a
lady gives up all her time, or has the
knowledge and love of natural history
t>--Slte to carry out such labors; but
Miss Ormerod not only possessed the
requisite talents, but had also the i'm

among entomologists, than that of any
less distinguished women; but her
friends We're numerous and dlstin-
guished, and her happy, quiet exis-
tence was cheered by the enthusiasm
and interest she inspired. The Edin-
burg University conferred on her the
honorary degree of LII. d., and every
woman should be proud of her mag.

CHILDREN'S FOOTWEAR.

Patent leather Is by all means the
prettlest for low shoes for boys OF
girls. 1t will not do for play or rough
wear, however. A new leather called
gun metal Is said TO be very durable
1t is a fine, soft calf, of light weight,
and polishes instead of requiring
backing. The Newport tie Is recon-
mended for chlldren's wear. This is
a low tie made on an easy last, and has
three very large eyelet holes to allow
for the wide r,bbon ties.
Barefoot sandals are offered in an
improved style. They are made with
toe-caps, slashed for coolness. The
single strap In front was thought to
have tendency to spread the toes
1t was not always comfortable, either,
and in running was apt to hurt the
feet.
An authority on children's clothes
gives this very sensible advice about
stockings: "Nothing gives such a
slovenly, dowdy appearance as wrink.
led ill-fittlng hosiery; nor is any detail
of the child's dress more important
from the standpoint of comfort. A
wrinkle in the foot of the stocking re.
suits frequently in permanent injury

Two Dress Hints,

One may sometimes redeem hand
some blouse which has been accident
ally spotted by cutting out the dam
aged parts and inserting medalllons of
lace or embroidery. OF course, one
must have some taste and artistic ideas
about arranging the medalllons, as
two or three places may have to be
cut out, and the garment must not have
a patchy appearance. One of the best
ways of fastening the skirt to shirt
waist is to have on every waist eyes
sewed about two inches apart and on
the skirt the hooks the same distance.
A piece of strong material, such as
betting, should be placed on the under
side of the waist to keep the eyes from
pulling out. The hooks on the skirt
should be set down little below the
belt. Washable hooks and eyes come
for cotton waists.

PETTICOATS.

For many women the question Of the
dessous is as important and costly as
that of the dessus.
The underskirt, in fact, contributes
very largely to the perfection of a
toilette.
The cut Of the underskirts must be
impeccable, and, like the skirts, they
must be quite fat at the top, fitting
closely around the hips.
They are improved by being mounted
on high waistband, which is placed
low down ON the corset.
The lower part of the underskirt is
elaborately trimmed and made very
flou, all kinds of trimmings and novel.
ties being utilized to secure this re-
suit.
Pleated flounces of taffetas edged
with velvet arabesques are utilized in
some cases, while fiounces OF muslin
and lace edged with ruches are used
on more elaborate underskirts.
For evening dresses lingerie under
skirts with transparent fiounces OF
taffetas are unsurpassable.
Some of the evening petticoats which
are worn under the long, flowing
unllned skirts really require as mucl
fitting as the dress itself, and, being
much trimmed, are almost as costly.
Many of the prettiest are in whit,
and pale-colored taffetas trimmed will

tiplicity of frills.

This new metal is called selium, anc
Is both lighter and stronger than alum
mum. Its hardness is not quite equa
to iron, but is greater than zinc, anc
Its power of resistance ranks between
Iron and steel. The greatest advan
tage of the new metal is its cost OF
production, which Is only about one
twentieth that of aluminium. SeliuT
does not corrode, and is capable OF e
very high polish. The former quality
Is an important requisite in ship build

metal exceptionally suited for cooking
utensils. Numerous eXperimenters
have tried to obtain a metal as llghi
as aluminium, but one which would pos
sess greater rlgidity. At first magian
