Use of Drugs by Women.

From the London World.
The subject of women's nerves brings one
TO that of the drug habit, which is likewise
under the microscope of publicity once
more 1t must be admitted that aforetime
women took less stimulants and fewer
nerve sedatives than now. They did driak,
to be sure, as is sown by the startling
records of the daily allowance of beer COM
monty made to a lady in waiting in the
early eighteenth century; but though it
may have ruined their figures and COM
pleXiens. 1t did not do so much harm In the
end as alcohol. wines and liquors. And even
these, perhaps, are less pernicious than the
insidious drugs which, it must tie reluc-
family admitted, are freely taken by women
Of the present day. A dozen years ago 1t
was an open secret that morphine and CO.
caine were enslaving fashionable women
more than all the spirituous liquors ever
dis titled And now chemical research has
made 1t easier than ever for women to in
dulge secretly in the drug habit. Deadly
sedatives are now prepared in the daintiest
and apparently most innocent forms. 1t Is
not too much to say that any girl, If she
be so minded, can obtain morphia, cocaine.

she may fancy, as easily as the factory girl

ment exaggerated that in boud0irs there
are far more drugs consumed than there are

other furry novelty which promises to be
an exceptionally popular detail is the small

up to the throat. Small fur ties were worn
last winter, but the latest models depart
just sufficiently from the ones of last year
to be termed new. Then they are used

in a different fashion, being frequently
supplied en- suite with a coatee, to fill up
the deficiency of a picturesquely thrown
back collar. The only drawback To a
cravat of fur is that adopting it once is
apt to be a case of adopting it to the end
of the ason, and there is always ques-
ton in the minds of many mondaines
whether a wrap carried quite UP to the
throat is a good thing to wear from the
hygienic point of view.
Her Growing Glory.
The browning glory of a woman, we are
told somewhere, is her hair, but above
that might be placed her hat. Fhe woman
who is ambitious of always being in the
right sartorial environment is careful not
to wear her summer headgeaf too long
and she is at present looking out for cool
weather millinery. The modes, for the com
ing winter all show tendency toward
making the crowns of hats an important
feature, but later on you will find that
these ultra democratic chimney shaped af-
fairs will be more or less tabooed by the
chic woman. The first millinery examples
are too common and In a great many cases
offer too many opportunities to the ANA
teur artist
An unlimited quantity of color is seen
on hats. Red chapeaux trimmed with
shaded roses and begonias well as vel
low roses in all shades are the height of
fashion. Bright green gauze wells are
wound around stunning gray and brown
hats. or these hats are adorned with bright
yellow paradise osprey.

Suggestions for Picking.

French Stuffed Peppers-To prepare the
peppers remove the seeds and stand them
in ice-cold water for twenty minutes. For
a half dozen large peppers prepare a force
meat from half a pound each of cooked
ham and veal little cooked soup meat
chopped very fine, a Glove pounded to a
paste, a grated onion, tablespoonful of
chopped parsley, with the necessary salt
and pepper. Mix these ingredients thor
oughly. Place in a saucepan a half cupful
of milk and the crumbs from a. roll add the
dressing and cook five minutes. The mix
ture when done should be stiff. Stuff the
peppers with this mixture and put in a
casserole with enough butter to prevent
burning. Moisten the peppers with melted
butter and bake until tender after Sitting
over them some fine bread crumbs.
Picked Cucumbers.-Wash the cucum-
bers and pack than in a jar. To a gallon
throw in handful of salt and pour on
enough boiling water to cover. Let the
cucumbers stand for twenty-four hours
then drain off the water and repeat the
process for several mornings, or until the
cUcumbers taste salty, then drain off the
water Put three pints of vinegar in a
kettle and a little bag of muslin containing
tablespoonful of mixed spices Let it
come to boil and pour it over the pickles.
Repeat this several times at intervals of
tWenty-four hours. Pack in glass jars, heat
some vinegar and pour it over the cucum-
berS.
Spiced Plums.-Six pounds of plums, three
pounds of brown sugar. one pint of vinegar,
an ounce each of cloves, allspice and mace
and two ounces of cinnamon. Put the spices
in muslin bag. Cook all slowly until the
juice is thick syrup.
Preserved Damsons.-Wipe the damsons
we'll with coarse towel and prick each
one four or five times, then weigh the fruit
Put in saucepan three-fourths their
weight of sugar, with one cupful of water
to each pound of sugar Skim as soon as
the syrup reaches the boiling point Put
the plums in few at a time and they will
retain their shape during the cooking

Beads in Partisan Millinery Trimming.
From the Millinery Trade Review


Large black beads are also introduced
into the trimming of broad-brimmed hats
of black mouseskin felt, the crown of
which is draped over with rose pink vel
vet, between the high ridge-like folds of
which strings of the beads are laid The
brinn of this hat is slightly rolled up SYM
metrically on each side, against two tufts
of short black ostrich tips. The plush
just referred to is braided in all colors
OF bright tan hue it is used both to
cover and to line the brim of another
large hat around the edge. Around the
edge is a cross-cut drapery of cigar brown
velvet run diagonally with groups of
narrow tucks. The same material drawn
up on cords molds the high, straight-up,
flat-topped crown. A little torsade of tan
colored sarap shot with pink is placed fiat
on the brim, midway between the base of
the crown and the edge.
For further trimming it has two long
ostrich tips of the tan shade fastened to
the front of the crown and curying for
ward over the brim, and a cluster of pink
roses under the brim on the left side.

Look After the Quiet Child.

A child who is always quiet should be
watched carefully, for it is quite an un-
natural state of affairs and shows that
something is wrong. Those who go much
among the schools of the very poor know
that it often means lassitude from want of
proper nourishment. If it occurs in the
children of the better or 1t shows that VII
tally is low and that for some reason or
aonther the food is not giving the strength

The New Bird Cage Veil.

To arrange the new veil first place the
lower edge of the veil at the point OF the
chin then. drawing it up to the hat brim.
pin it securely right in the center. After
that bring the two ends together and fasten
them directly on the top of the crown or
the hat. If fastened al the back there will
be billowy folds all about the sides which
will be difficult to dispose of neatly. The
idea is to place the knot directly in the
center of the crown. When this is done 1t
is necessary to use two or more pins, one
at either side of the hat brim, just over
the ears. . .a-.,. a..
After the various pinnings and placfngS
the last act is to draw down the veil at
the chin and make little smiling face at

Why? Nobody knows, not even girls them
selves If Eve wore wells. she did 1t, too.
Anyway, 1t is something that must be done
because all women do il.

Suggestions of La Pompadour come in
the hand-painted panels introduced into
house gowns of elaborate fashion This is
class of work which calls for the highest
abilities, and the girl who imagineS she can
paint the panels and insets for her after
noon or party frock must look we'll before
she leaps. Painting on silk satin and long
pile velvets is an entirely different art
from decorating water color paper or col
oring burnt-wood designs. 1t is an art
which belongs particularly to the French
school of dressma king, and is also accom-
plished by skilled hands in Vienna and
London. The coloring must be laid on
as to give certain shadowy effect as IL
the flowers or figures used were woven in
and not Laid on. Shadowy Dresden or Pom
padour effects are best liked.
A Hand-Painted Fabric.
An imported hand-painted froek shows
hand painted panel of tanetas combined
with crepe de chine. a firm quality of
taffetas was employed for the panels in
the skirt, the bertha and the sash. Each
panel, inset into the crepe de chine, is out
lined by point de gene lace. The blouse has
elbow sleeves and the skirt is shirred into
the waist. With this viii be worn white

for calling and reception wear. gives a
princess effect, in spite of the fact that 1t
can boast of distinct bodice and skirt.
The bodice is deeply pointed at the waist
line. and the front shows yoke and plas-
iron of net overlaid with coarse Breton
lace. The sleeve shows a moderate puff
above a tightly fitted cuff of lace. The
skirt fits snugly around the hips and shows
only moderate sweep around the hem a
circular flounce, which looks like a broad
galloon inset into the velvet, being applied
beneath the deep incrustation of chenille
dotted net and lace.
Velvet ribbon forms an important factor
in the ornamentation of house gowns, and
graduated butterfly bows are sometimes
used down the front of a gown. These
start in a small size at the collar and gain
width as they near the foot of the dress.
This is particularly true of house gowns
where a pompadour or petticoated effect
is employed

Novelties in Blouses.
B1ouses have been relegated to the back

fashion for bodices made of the skirt ma

makes itself worthy of notice. A charming
