A FIRE CURTAIN SHUTTER.

1t Is the law in nearly every large

we're necessary for occupants of a burn

man has designed a steel curtain for

at the same time be ready TO close tho

Woman the inventor
of Condensed Milk

1t was a woman who invented con
densed milk" which, while nobody
wants it who can get the original arti-
Gle. is nevertheless of great value on
journeys, on shiDboard and for emer-
gencies. 1t was such an emergency,
says the Springfield Republican, that
led to the first condensed milk, for Mrs.
Albert Cashingor of New Orleans fifty
years ago had sick baby and must
get expert medical attention If 1t were
to live That could not be had nearer
than New York City, and it was a long
sea voyage away. How to keep the lit
tie baby alive through that voyage she
did not know. But she had put up
many preserves and many jellies in her
time, and she began to experiment on
milk and succeeded, and put up lot
of jars Of original condensed milk,
which fed her child through the voy-
age. The fact interested several people
in New York, and finally Mrs. Cash
ingor gave her process away to a pack
of sharp fellows, who made fortunes
out of condensed milk and never gave
her a cent

The Safeguard, Lock.

Many a storekeeper has been robbed
systematically and extensively by the
return to the store after hours Of the
person to whom was intrusted the key
of the establishment. A means of over
coming this has been devised by F. M.
Thompson of Danbury, VT, who has
invented a lock which is opened with a
key entirely different from the one
which locked 1t. The employe carrying
the closing-up key could not return and
make his way into the store for the
reason that the lock would not respond
to his key and should the other party
try this trick with his opening-up key
he would not be able to close up the
establishment after his plundering
visit Any possible complication of this
lock may be solved by the employer.
who carries the master key, which will
operate on the lock at all times.

No Lack of Pin Money There

In the City Of Dreams, as Lassa has
been called by the imaginative people,
you seldom see an unmarried woman
over 90. But then the statistics-or
what stands for them-are all in favor
of the fair sex, for there is an aver
age of about fifteen men to each wom-
an. Hence it is not at all uncommon,
says veracious traveller, to meet
Tibetan woman out walking with a
dozen or so of her husbands. Indeed.
1T was currently reported that one at
tractive matron had no fewer than
thirty-three husbands and contemplat-
ed an early addition to the collection.
With such a liberal allowance of hus-
bands there should be no lack of pin
money. One might expect that such
system would lead to domestic diff
culties, but these apparently are miti-
gated by the woman as rule marry
ing a whole family at time.

when Miss Charlotte Moulder and
Charles Carter Nichols were married

Fall Gowns Are Copied
From Old French Styles

One Of the incongruities Of to-day's
fashions, If one study Illustrations Of
costumes of the periods being copied
now. is the wide dissimilarity that one
finds in the feminine figures of the old
day and the new, says the New York
Sun. iAthletics, mental and physical,
dc not tend to make sylphlike figures.
Hence the costumes worn by the wasp
wasted beauties of the court Of Louis
XVI are plainly unsuited to the girl
who has won Juno proportions by out
door good times and indoor gymnas-
tics The tall, well-developed girl, who
is In the majority now. is not at her
best in outstanding sleeve tops and
skirt hens. and her waist is seldom
suited to girdles that accentuate the
robust development of waist and hips
Fancy, for instance, a gown shown
recently on the sturdy college girl who
won fame on the golf links this sum-
mer. The gown was copied by a French
dressmaker from an old picture in the
Louvre in Paris. 1t depicted all the
airy frivolity of Versailles in its gay
est period. The deep point Of the
bodice fell over an overdress Of rich
parchment coIored silk, f1owered with
old world brocade designs which were
mingled with tiny wrought silver ones.
On the hips, the overdress puffed into
decided paniers opening over a petit
coat of ivory colored net applique,
with lace leaves. The chiffon petticoat
was butt over a reseda green velvet
skirt. which was bordered at the foot
by the leaves Of lace The bertha
draping the bodice was of folded silk
deeply frilled with the net and lace
ornaments. A wee bit Of sable glim-
mered here and there in the lace folds.
OF the same period was a pale pea
green taffeta gown with skirt full and
plain like that OF an old riding habit.
It's only ornamentations were sparse
applications of velvet flower sprays of
the same tone as the silk. The coat
was a true Louis XVI of embossed
velvet in the pea green tone. The only
relief In color were the touches Of
cloudy old lace and the vest of family
tinted embroidery.
A restaurant gown Of the same order
was of the softest old rose taffeta
mousseIine. 1t was trimmed with mar
row puffs of chiffon velvet of the same
shade manipulated into true lovers
knots. Deep ivory toned Mimosa lace
fashioned the petticoat front and the
bertha
Fall walking costumes harmonic

ture effects, with the dying leaf Even
the short run-around morning froclk
of mixed cheviot is reminiscent OF

fitting coat, brave with vivid velvet
collar or revers and cuffs-a suggestion
of the riding dress of the eighteenth
century.
Pretty house gowns half negligee are
the most convenient of frocks for many
occasions. They are the acme Of com
fort, yet in them one may see a caller
or appear at luncheon or even dinner
when the family is dining alone For
inexpensive gowns of this order there
are the loveliest cashmeres, challis and
bargains in silks and thin wools Plays
on the princesse robe are in order for
such dresses. Furnishings of velvet
and satin ribbons, laces and remnants
of silk embroideries abound on mark
