FOR INFANTS.

Smart babies are wearing superb
travelling coats of white twilled silk.
These coats are extremely long, COW
erlng the entire robe the infant is wear
ing. They are embroidered with white
silk in small bouquets over the whole
surface of the silk, and regularly
spaced off. A light sheet of wool wad-
ding lies between the outer silk and
the inner lining, which may be of pink,
blue or pure white. A large elder lap
pillow, covered with finest of linen
fabric, trimmed with real lace and
hand embroidery, must be kept in har-
mony, so far as the color Of silk slip,
under the lawn fitted cover, and its
narrow ribbon bows, if they are used,
must correspond in shade as WE'LL

every man who strays from business

They call their houses homes oftener

Her education is likely to be more
virile than that Of her Eastern sisters,
because it is acquired at schools and
colleges where coeducation of the sexes
is the rule. Her domination in the
home and her primacy in the higher
life, as we are inclined to call it, are
seen not only in the more obvious So

THE MOsLEM GIRL.

The Moslem girls comes to know her
charms and beauty at an early day,
and at the age when the American girl
would be in school or playing with her
dolls this oriental maiden is thinking
Of jewels, rich gowns and lovers. AL
though she does not marry as young
as the Hindo girl, she begins early to
sigh for fringes of pearls and diamond
earrings. A writer says that in her
rose-colored veil with bold spots the
Moslem girl is the prettiest picture
you ever saw. With gazelle eyes and
Asiatic graces she is full of ardor and
naivee at the same time. She runs like
fawn at the approach of stranger,
but when unobserved her laughter
rings through the house, and the in
stinctive coquetry of her smile shows
that the ''purdah" is a necessity.

FASHION NOTES.

All the new sleeves are extremely
wide at the top.
White hand-woven pongee is one of
the choicest fabrics.
Wash fabrics of all kinds are inn
mensely fashionable.
Trimmed skirts are the rule; the
plain skirt an exception.
Even the simplest little afternoon
frock is simple only in effect.
Pure white Valenciennes lace is used
to an unprecedented extent this sea-
son.
On the whole, the toes of shoes are
more pointed and the heels a trifie
higher.
The distinctive modes are modelled
upon those which the Louis periods
produced.
Shirrings and cordings, such as were
the delight of olden times, are most
fashionable.
1t is infinitely easier to make an eff
fective trimmed skirt than it is to make
plain one.
Dolly Warden silk mulls are 4 desir-
able material and form a close rival

Linens and ginghcms and muslns of

AS TO WOMEN GENERALLY.

Sometimes it seems as though young
women are the most frequent Offenders
of good taste in the matter of loud
talk and in personal conversations i'll
public places. They tell each other
about their affairs as though it were
all public property, and use names of
other people in an uncomplimentary
way when they do not know but some
friend of the people they are talking
about is sitting right beside them. 1t
Is sad but true that girls talk is us
ually Of frivolous nature and that
they are exceedingly careless in their
conversation. 1t is mark of ill-breed-
ing for a young woman to talk loudly
on the street. in street cars or other
public places, or to air her personalities
or mention names in such places.

A PLEA For DIRT.

1t is recollection of his own afflic-
tons as a child that college professor
makes a plea for dirt Children, he
AYERS, are tortured by the madness of
mothers. They are not only scrubbed
with cruel frequency, but are re-
strained from wholesome play by the
threat of punishment for soiled clothes.
Nature, he maintains, has had a good
purpose in implanting in every normal
child fondness for dirt, and the con-
slant efforts to defeat this purpose
must have a deleterious influence on
the character. He considers it grave
invasion of the rights of childhood to
insist that the human young, who are
in state of barbarism. should look
like angels on parade. "The laws of
nature he declares, "can not be con-
stantly violated with impunity;" chill
dren who have the possibilities of
fine manhood are perverted into vain
and tinical peacocks by the diseased
desires of mothers for unnatural clean
illness.
That this desire for excessive clean
illness is in truth pathological is af-
firmed by a medical writer in the
London Lancet. He describes it as
hatred or fear of dirt, and has no doubt
that it is an infectious germ disorder.
The woman whose highest ambition is
to be regarded as the best housekeeper,
who makes all enjoyment of the home
impossible by her eternal vigilance in
the matter of dust; whose mind seems
incapable of entertaining any other
idea than that of absolute cleanliness,
is obviously afflicted with this malady,
which is called mysophobia. That the
disease is extending is beyond doubt.
What has been called the force of eX-
ample is in fact the effect of contagion.
1t is chiefly because of the conse-
quences to the children that the SUBJ
ject is considered worthy of attention,
but there is little hope that any appeals
to mother love will be effective.

After a pleasant and uneventful jour

Only Ones Left with Fine Wisdom.
Brains, hitherto deemed desirable,
are gradually coming into dlsrepute.
rhe prominence Of the Smart Set in
our National life renders them almost
wholly obsolete. If a minority OF us
can get along without stomachs, ac-
cording to medical authorities, brains
would seem 20 be de trop, in the wild
est application of that generality.
Brains are said to secrete thought,
in itself Il drawback to modern IRE.
The brain makes for worry, which I'M
dermlnes our strength against disease
anG dissipation. A man who worries
can smoke only fifteen cigarettes
day; who does not worry, forty. Why,
therefore, be so obstinate in advocacy
Of the brain?
Educational systems, so long cast IN
the shade by lack of funds, are now
conducted entirely without brains, and
are making more money than ever.
We must expect hat the brain will
flicker on for some Ntime to come, be-
fore it dies out entirely. We cannot
even hope for the millennium to come
all at once. At present the brain is
fostered almost entirely by young girls
and old maids, who employ it in lieu
of brute force. Brute force has made
the brain look like thirty cents, and
regulates the price of meat, eggs, ice,
hair tonics and votes.
Nothing succeeds like profitable
lack of brains and enough brute force
to compel respect. Though we may
not hope to eliminate the brain ell
tirely, the future looks rosy. AS long
as brains stand directly in the way OF
making money, we need have no fear
for the ultimate result.
In the meantime, let us not falter in
the grand work, but go on building IL
braries, endowing colleges and writing
popular novels. Thus, by reducing
our brain activities to a minimum, we
shall eventually all succeed in becom-
ing as brainess as are at present the
chosen few.-Life.

TO HAVE PEARLY TEETH.

Early neglect is the chief cause of
ugly teeth. From the time when the
little bones peek through a pink gum,
the teeth should be carefully treated.
The mother who is wise begins brush
ing her babyts teeth very gently as
soon as there are enough of them to
brush. Previous to that the mouth is
linen.
To brush the teeth after each neal is
to follow good rule. but with women
of business it is not always convenient.
However, nothing should interfere
with the morning grooming and the
bed. Neglect will not only cause the
teeth to decay, but will make the gums
weak and unhealthy. Twice a year
tartar should be removed and cavities
filed by a capable dentist. Cold water
should never be used when one is
rinsing the mouth, and toothpicks must
be stunned. All foreign substances
can be removed with dental floss. Pow
ders containing coarse, gritty sub
stances are extremely harmful. Do not
crack nuts or bite thread with your
teeth. They are not made after the
plans and specifications of iron pincers
or steel nippers.
See to it that you use only a pure
antiseptic powder, also that after each
cleansing all Of the powder is rinsed
away. Keep your brush clean and
every week dip it into listering or a
strong solution of boric acid.
THE WOMAN OF THE WEST.
The social picture of the Middle West
as q whole, however, presents the
sexes occupying different intellectual
and moral planes. There the woman
is indisputably the mistress in all that
makes for culture--culture in letters
and in art; tie man is king in his own
active realm. Each is most deferential
to the other in that others sphere. The
books on the shelves, the pictures on
the walls, arc Of the woman's choice or

Mr.. ]. Eakin Gadsby Rids Library
Building Of Nuisance.

The annoyance caused by pigeons that
had found their way through the venti-
lators in the dome over the reading room
in the Library of Congress has been
stopped. This was brought about by a
man, Mr.. ]. Eakin Gadsby. He was called
upon by the library authorities and spent
an hour Saturday afternoon in the read
ing room. AS a result the dead bodies of
three pigeons were secured and the quiet
that has always prevailed in that part of
the great building was restored.
The undertaking was not an easy one.
as the birds were flying about beneath the
dOmed ceiling and among the bronzed
statues and castings on the carved capitals
of the pillars. The library people wanted
to get rid of the nuisance caused by the
presence of these noisy birds. but they did
not wish to have the handsome and costly
decorations of the room injured. An ex-
pert hand was required and also much
patience in waiting until the birds in their
wandering flights had settled in some spot
with a background that could not be In
jured by the bullets

focus in this fashion the three birds. which.

dome Of gold Sometimes he walked about
the floor of the reading room and then he
assembled to one of the galleries. and wher-
ever he was able to get a safe shot he fired
his 22-caliber rifle and brought down the
birds. without causing any damage to the
building and it's decorations.
The skill of Mr. Gadsby with the rifle
has frequently been made use Of to clear
away such intruders from buildings in
various parts Of the CITY,, and 1t has been
found to be effective.
