For the Hand.

For the Hand.
Defects in the shape of the hand may be
somewhat hidden. If the fingers are much
too long and thin, trim the nails short.
Long nails on such a hand would turn 1t
into a veritable claw. But the girl with
the short. plump hand may wear her nails
long in spite of the prevailing fashion to
the contrary. She must avoid heavy rings
and it's a waste of ink to tell her So
Whoever saw a woman with a chubby hand
who did not load three fingers of it with
solitaires and marquises? Whereas. by all
the laws of ethics. they rightfully belong
to slender fingers.
Remember that white gloves make the
hand look large; black gloves make 1t look
small. The heavily scanned dogskins are
smart but they are aggressively ugly on
very large hand. Gloves that are too tight
never make a hand look smaller. and they
are Injurious into the bargain.
Women of the stage can hide their de-
fects by thousand articles not permitted
to a woman in private life. You can't go
shopping with white chalk line drawn
down the middle of your nose such as the
leading woman draws down hers. Your
tricks must be infinitely more artful. SO
all the more credit to you If you succeed.

Her Prayer.

From Lippincott's Magazine
Gladys had lost two front teeth. She
had been told that God would give her
some new ones. She was to take part in
the Easter exercises at Sunday school. In
spite of all wishing, however, the teeth re-
fused to put in an appearance, and Easter
at hand.
One night Gladys mother heard her talk
ing after she had put her to bed She went
back and saw her kneeling beside her bed
in the moonlight.

The Tea Ceremony.

When the Japanese wish to extend an es-
pecially graceful act of hospitality the tea
ceremony follows the dinnAr. This tea Is
stirred with wisp Of bamboo until ii foams
and is then handed in Guns OF rare old Sat
suma to the guests, who deliberately empty
the bowl in three prescribed sips. The gift
of some piece of the tea service is the most
valued proof of friendship a host can be-
stow and as a return Tor this courtesy the
guest is sup posed TO compose a short, origi-
nal poem in his hosts honor
Incense burning and inhaling is another
entertainment witch counts its votaries
among The esthetically disposed. The host
burns costly incense procured from every
part of tire empire. The guests must be
able to distinguish by scent the name and
variety of EACH. The person who correctly
guesses all receives a prize.
An American hostess with any originality
in her nlake-ul, may plan a Japanese enter
tainment Tor her guests.

Apropos of.petticoats, not only they, but
underwear in general, virtually come
under the neglige head, for many house
things are made with the definite tnten-
ton Of displaying dainty under-toggery:
So for such sorts there are chemtses OF
fine lawn with deep lace berthas ana
lawn petticoats as gay with lace and RID
bon as outside skirts, and which show
between the fronts of the dressing sacque
or wrapper. Ribbon belts with streaming
ends hold these in at the waist, and the
fad of the moment is to have the kid slip
pers match in color.
Detachable Berthas.
Another pretty and practicable kink is
a detachable bertha or ruche for the
chemise or underwaist, which may be
worn with such a get-up. These details
are patterned after the bust pads of the
moment, and when one is pinned over the
chemise this last may be of the plainest
slip description. Ribbon rOsettes or bows
finish the detachable bertha, which in
ready-made form costs anywhere from 75
cents to s..

the belief that simplicity is n past quantity

Mukden, Nov. 8.-The Russian and
Japanese armies, extending from Bent

at places are almost within stones
throw of each other. At Bentsiaputze
not more than 400 yards separate the
advance posts and at Sinchinpu, on
the Shakhe river just west of the rail
way and fifteen miles south of Muk
den, the Japanese and Russians oc-
cupy the extreme ends of the same
village. At Huangshantse the Russian
center has thrown advance posts
across the Shallhe river. Both armies
are still Strengthening their positions
all along the line. The slightest move
ment on either side is the signal for
firing, which occasionally lasts all
night The Russians are using 6-inch
guns on the railway, which must
greatly harrass the Japanese. I'm
doubtedly the most decisive, if not the
greatest battle of the year, will be
fought in the vicinity Of the Shakhe
river. The Russians are confident Of
their ability to hold their positions.
The soldiers are building mud huts
