orders that they must capture 2OS-Me-

Japanese artillery shelled the higher

MOST DESPERATE FIGHTING,

opposing forces were so close together
that only the fort wall or few yards

Fashions For Elderly Women.

AS to colors, q negative answer would
usually be best when this question
comes up. The old belief that black
and gray made a woman look haggard
when the flush of youth had left her
face and the gray had streaked her
hair, has been discarded with many
other outworn ideas, and it is now an
accepted fact that the soft shades of
gray are the only colors that an elderly
woman should wear. That black best
becomes many older women is we'll,
because so many, while perhaps not
wearing deep mourning, are yet so
in the habit of having black gowns
during many years that they never
"feel right" in colors. There are in
these days so many varieties of black
that there need be no monotony, and
even an all-black gown need not be
sombre. Trimmings of lace and braid
and passemcnteTie are always appro-
pirate for elderly women, the hand
somer the better.
The loose coats in three-quarter
length are a style that is particularly
kind to the older women, Disgusting
as they do any awkwardness Of figure,
and giving place for the use Of hand
some trimmings of fur and lace.-Har-
pcr's Bazaar.

What He Was UP To.

"Do you know Of the only Irishman
who ever. committed suiclde:" asked
w. B. Pollard, of Jersey City, who was
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last night.
You know it is said that 1rishmen
never commit suicide, and when the al.
gument was advanced in a crowd OF
that nationality he was so unstrung
that he decided to show his opponents
that Irishmen do sometimes commit a
rash act. He accordingly disappeared.
and the man who employed him started
a search. When he got to the barn he
looked up toward the rafters and saw
his man hanging with a rope around
his waist.
What are you up to. Pat" he
asked.
"tOIm hanging meself, besobs,' the
Irishman replied.
"'Why don't you put it around your
neck"

the man from the Emerald Isle.

For the Children.

For little girls up to eight years the
most sensible frocks are those that
may be Numbered. These are possible
in winter as we'll IS in summer, merely
by having the child wear heavy under
fannels, and there is great satisfaction
in washable frocks. Some charmingly
pretty heavy cotton cheviots are to
be bought, in plain colors and stripes,
which make very good play dresses.
These same materials and khaki are
the ones that it is wisest to have for
boys as we'll. Khaki especially, in its
bright brown shade, is very serviceable
for hard wear.
Small shepherd plaids and tartans
are pretty for little girls and for kits
or pleated frocks for small boys. A
washable, detachable sailor collar is q
wise ornament for almost any little
child's dress, as it adds much to the
effect Of the costume.-Harper's Bazaar.

Girls as Caddies.

A wealthy gentleman, who is a great
advocate for women workers in every
field Of action, has gone to the length
of employing girls as caddies on his
golf links, stating as his reason that
they are far nor alive to their duties
than are boys, This is pleasant hear
ing, as, in addition to opening up a new
employment for girls. it refutes the
testimony of those who find much to
criticise in the behavior of the weaker
sex when undertaking so-called mems
work. In many instances women can,
Of course, prove a~stonishingly disoblig-
ing and ill-mannered, and one Of their
greatest transgressions in public offices
is the irritating faculty they have for
holding animated conversations with
their co-workers when attending to the
public needs. On the other hand, some
men have manners that leave much to
be desired.

he wishes to 60 cheaper still, he can
get a ticket emitting him simply to

cars can be entered either from the
side or the end. The principal differ.

coaches is the color Of the upholstery
None Of the cars are very clean. Many
of the third-class coaches could serve.
without much alteration, as ordinary
pigsties. This is all more remarkable
when the incompatible cleanliness Of
the Japanese home life, ven Of the
humblest, is taken into consideration.
An explanation Of this may be that
the Japanese have little regard for the
cleanliness Of any place where they
keep their shoes or clogs on. The Eu-
ropean room, for example, which has
been established in a few Japanese
homes, is the only apartment in the
whole house that is, not kept scrupu-
lousy swept; busted, oiled and bur.

What the Baby Should Weigh.

The baby Of normal weight tips the
scales down at birth at the seven
pound mark. If he or she is much
heavier or much lighter, he Or she
is at odds with the average. A Pc
culiar feature Of baby weight is that
during the first days Of it's life the
youngster-that is, the perfectly nor
NAL youngster-loses one pound. Thus,
examination made on the second and
fourth day will show a weight of six
pounds only. But after the first week,
at the end Of which time the lost
pound should be regained, there is a
steady advance. Ten pounds should
have been reached by the time the
baby is eight weeks old, and when it is
twenty weeks old the weight should
be fourteen pounds. At seven months
the figure should be sixteen pounds,
and the year-old baby should have q
mark of twenty-one pounds to its
credit.
