THE INDIAN cHATELAINE.

The popular bag is somewhat prim-
tive in it's appearance, being made,
as in the days of Old, with neither
needle nor thread. 1t seems to have
originated at the Worlds Fair and
now every one covets her neighbours
chamois chatelaine.
To make this attractive article of
general usefulness, cut from skin
two fiat pieces, exactly alike, shaped
like the cut here shown, and of or
binary chatelaine size. Cut from
heavy linen, matching the skin in
color, two pieces of the same shape
but slightly smaller in size. Make a
pocket of the cloth and set it be-
tween the skins. This will keep the.
bag from losing it's shape. Put the
skin pocket together with thong of
the same. Fringe the upper edges,
under them run draw string OF
strip of skin and leave the draw
string long enough to carry the bag
by. Or the strap can be run under
the belt and knotted. To the out
side of the bag fasten several groups
of thongs, ornament these with
beads, sometimes in twos, sometimes
in groups of threes and sometimes
put but one strip through bead.
Let the ends of this ornamentation
be of uneven length.
A white chamois bag is most at
tractive and not conspicuous. White
beads may be obtained. They come
in various sizes and shapes, round
or long, and very narrow. The strips
of leather can be left with a square
cut or may be made to taper. The
skins can be bought in many colors.
Sometimes the beads used are of
many colors, no attempt being made
to match the color of the skin.-

VOTES FOR BEAUTY.

AS the season draws to close the
festivities of this charming healtn re-
sort wax fast and furious, writes the
Abbazia correspondent of the LONDON
Express.
One of the most striking entertain
ments took place at the Hotel quar-
nero. After a ball, in which all the
lady guests appeared clad in scarlet
silk or velvet textures, there was an
bounced the name pf the lady who hao
won the beauty prize as awarded ny
the votes of the male guests.
For this purpose each gentleman
was provided with card on whlcn
was printed, "You are loveliest among
the lovely" This he presented to the
lady whom he considered such.
The fair one who was able to snow
the largest number of cards received
a handsome piece of jewelry.

FOR THE PIANO.

Piano playing is now said to De
an excellent tonic for the hair, IN
support of which theory the luxurl-
ant locks of many famous pianists
are mentioned, and certainly when
one comes to think of it, it is rare
indeed to see a professional piano
player who is not thoroughly well
supplied with hirsute adornment OF
the Uranium. Indeed, 1T has often
been laughingly said that it Is i'm
possible to make name for oneself
in the musical world. either as a
pianist or violinist, without long
hair, and if this theory is correct, 1t
would seem as if to some extent
this Is true, the explanation being
that the more brilliant and powerful
an excellent one is the more luxu-
RANT is ones hair. 1t is, however, a
dangerous theory to promulgate, for
it will set every piano in the land
going, and that is too horrible to con-
template.

"Cretes" are one of the latest de-
velopments of 1880 trimmings. They
are merely narrow scalloped frills
of silk shirred and set on upside
down SO that they stand up like ex-
aggerated headings.
Narrow, scalloped, superimposed
frills used in great numbers are
another of the 1880 ideas recently
revived.
Many of the new gloves are lined
with contrasting color or have a frill
of lace set on with shirred ribbons
and falling over the glove tops.
The Greek key design in braiding
or embroidery is much favored by
French dressmakers.
The indications are that the new
shades called mulberry will be popu-
lar co!orings and that the warm
browns and reseda greens will renew
their last seasons success.
Dove gray chiffon made over silver

Flounces are now more restricted

Rarely do they extend above the knee

One Of the latest Innovations in
ombre or shaded effects is shown in
the shaded sashes, which are OF

HOW TO WATER PLANTS.

improper watering is often the
cause of failure with plants. The
usual plan is to daily sprinkle small
quantity of water in each pot contain
ing a plant. If those who water
plants in this manner, as most begin
ners do, could see the florist water
his plants, they might fear the plants
were being drowned, but they would
learn a lesson in plant culture that
would be of much benefit. The
florist waters his plants with few
exceptions) either daily, every other
day or twice a week, according to the
weather, and when the watering is
done the soil about the plant is COM
pletely saturated. The pot being
we'll provided at the bottom water
passes off, yet the soil is SO wet that
the roots can absorb from it all the
moisture required for the best de-
velopment of top growth. One water
ing of this kind a week will do vast
ly more good to the plants than the
daily sprinkling SO generally prac-
tised.-Womans Home Companion.

days he had learned more than she at
first intended him to know.
He found, by connecting together
certain scraps of information, that her
wedding had been enforced by her
fathers desire and will.
She had waited nine weary years
for the return of the wanderer, from
whom she had received neither word
nor token.
Were his actions free from blame?
Her husband was a rogue and a
spendthrift, who had neither love
nor respect for her. She had called
her baby Sidney, in remembrance of
him.
Then he thought of their child
hoods days, when she was a great
heiress and he was poor boy, her
companion by freak of fortune.
Was ne worthy of her abiding love?
He could not disguise the fact that
he had carried his bitterness toward
her father into the love he protested
toward her, and had caused his own
misery by his own continued pride.
He pondered long and seriously;
ne found that the account was not
closed; there was great balance
against himself

you remember that it was in this
very room that we agreed to share
each others sorrows?"

l think not. l hope not, Kate?'
"Repulsive? No; but I'm afraid"
mot of me, surely?"
He placed his arm around her waist,
just as tenderly as he had placed it
there eleven long years ago. and her
head fell upon his breast, for she
had tainted.
Then the long confined, passionate
love burst from its imprisonment, and
with torrent of fond words he kissed
her back to life. Then, as in dream,
she listened to him, until at length she
realized her newly born happiness.
And Sidney! He simply returned
thanks to a beneficent Providence
that had restored mis- dead love, and
renewed the pulsation of his ashen
heart, after many weary and unprofit-
able years.
For that life is Improbable that
lives solely for itself. and great
riches are as nothing in the scale. if
all else must be sacrificed for gain.-

inent Fashion has turned away
from the square-toed shoes to the
points again. Dress shoes are made
OF fine black leather, very high in the
heels, very low in the vamp and
very pointed in the toes. The neat
est of all shoes just now are the
plain thin black walking boots, high,
buttoned with large black buttons,
and very pointed as well as very full
at the finish. This neat boot is worn
for the street with the handsome
dark taffeta costume.
Heels, while they are growing
, higher, are not SO very bad, after ALL
They show the square military
shapes and are built on the Cuban de.

little, but does not impair it's use.
fulness for walking purposes as the
French heel did. For the house the
little black slipper is wonderfully
chic, but its heel is painted red or
white OF some other color, and its
lacings and it's bows exactly match.
Even for the street one sees the col.
ored heel, in spite of the fact that
you hear that it is not in the best
of taste.
1t is amazing how many new things
one can find in the shoe line. The
cozy kid lace shoes, SO comfortable
and SO fashionable, are to take a new
lease Of life, and one sees them COM
ing out this fall in many pretty
styles. Out of regard for the many
kinds of tan shoes that are worn, tan
colored rubbers are on the market,
swell as white rubbers and black
ones, and she who would be neatly
shod may take notice. 1t takes three
or four kinds of rubbers to keep my
lady of 1904 fortified against rainy
days.

TREATMENT OF CANCER.
Results by Surgery and by Roentsen
Rays.


Rays.
At the Dermatological Congress in
Berlin, the subject of the treatment OF
cancer was discussed with much ami
nation. Prof. Won Petersen spoke on
the subject of non-surgical treatment
of epithelioma, and came to the fol-
lowing conclusions: Il, That cpl
thelioma is durable without operation
only in it's initial stage; ca that the
best results are obtained by "Finsen-
LIGHT" inasmuch as this treatment
has no deleterious effects; unfor-
tunately it is very expensive; CD
that Roentgen rays are often p-oduc-
tive of good results, but they must be
employed with great caution; (4) ra-
dunn rays give positive results, but
are accompanied by dangers still
greater than those arising from the
use of Roentgen rays; 60 small sur
face epithelioma can be healed by con-
tinued bandaging with solution of
from S to Is per cent. of soda.
Professor Won Bergman thea
spoke. He maintained that every
kind of epithelioma can be permanent
ly healed by means of surgery where
as only a portion of the cases are
healed by treatment by light. He adj
mitted that when severe complica-
tions already existed the surgeon
could not cure the patient. But in
those cases the Roentgen rays also
failed. Hitherto, he said, no cancer
which has proved impossible to op5r-
ate for had been healed by the Roent-
gen rays. 1t was true that in perfect
ly hopeless cases the pain of the pa
tients could be alleviated by Roent-
gen and radium rays, but this simply
meant the prolongation of the life of
the patient and not the cure.
DR.. Lefedde, of Paris, who followed,
explained that a clever doctor could
always avoid causing harmful effects
when using radium in cases of cancer.
He had, he said, registered good re-
suits from the use of radium.
The President, in addressing the
meeting. pointed out that careful
distinction must be drawn between
the different kinds of epithelioma.
Deep-rooted cancer, he thought, ought
to be operated upon Immediately If an
operation were possible, but superb
cial epithelioma should be treated by
Roentgen rays.
The results of the sitting seem.
then, to be as sketched by the Presi-
dent. 1t was admitted that the cause
of cancer is still unknown.

For a kitchen floor covering it is
always best to buy good quality of
linoleum. Never wash it, but polish
with beeswax and turpentine. When
dirty and greasy wipe over with par
ATTN and polish with cloths.
To clean velvet procure a small
square of pipeclay (such as soldiers
use to clean their uniforms) and
scrape a little off upon the velvet;
then take a brush made of the same
material as the carpet, whisk and
lightly brush it off. This raises the
pile and restores the bloom.
Potato Feelings, if dried in the oven.
are said to be very useful for fire
kindling. If sufficiently abundant
they may be used instead Of wood,
but in any case, they will economize it.
A bit of glove powder costs but
trifie and by its constant use the life
of gloves will be greatly prolonged.
The powder helps the glove to slip
on easily and prevents dragging or
pulling of the leather, besides keeping
the hands cool and dry in not weather.
The little soft cotton dish mops
make excellent busters.
The wax from dripping candles can
be removed from table linen by a
generous application of alcohol.
A little soap fixed with stove black
ing will produce better and more last
ing lustre than without.
Cold rain water and soap will re-
move machine grease. To remove
peach stains soak fabric in spirits of
camphor before wetting.
The smart woman saves time and
patience by keeping a shoe horn with
the children's rubbers to make their

Grass stains on linen should be

with a generous supply Of soap.
If non-rust hairpins are used to
fasten them down, curtains can be as
nicely dried on a thick grass plot as
in regular stretchers.
Several thicknesses of newspapers
laid between the bed springs and mat
tress are equal in warmth to another
mattress. Laid between the blanket
and quilt they equal an extra blanket.
Medicine can be easily administered

WOMAN'S BRAIN.

The female brain, in human crea-
lures, is smaller than that of the
male. and it is also lighter. The diff
ference in weight is considerable.
The average mans brain is between
four and five ounces heavier than the
average woman's. The reason, it may
be said, is that the woman herself is
smaller than the man in size and
weight. That accounts partly for the
difference, but not entirely.
The diminished size and weight of
the brain is said to be fundamental
sexual distinction in the human spe-
cies. 1t is not peculiar to civilized
versally among savages. wherever
sufficient observations have been
made.
There is said to be also difference
of balance between the various parts
of the compared brains. The occi-
pital lobes. which preside chiefly
over the physical functions of the or
ganism, are declared to be more volu-
minous in the female than in the
male, a physiological fact which is
contrary to common belief
1t appears to be unquestionable
that in purely intellectual endowment
the man is superior to the woman.
On the other hand. in the equally
noble emotional capacity the woman
is superior to the man.-Home Ad-
