The Peacock Girdle.

In spite of the superstition in ref
erence to peacock feathers, they are
to be seen on various dress acces-
SORES. One of the most exclusive
girdles shown, for instance, has sixteen
peacock feather tips, each one mounted
and framed in glass case and joined
together with long gold links. These
glass cases, which are about the size
of a dollar, have a narrow frame of
gold about them The girdle is fin
ished in front with gold chain fringe,
the ends of which have emerald, blue
and gilt stones dangling from them.
This offers a suggestion to the girl
who wishes to mount her favorlte
flower and wear it for a girdle. Real
or artificial pansies mounted in this
manner would make stunning girdle.

For weeks breeding the Outbreak oil

For weeks preceding the outbreak of
hostilities between Japan and Russia
the Japanese papers were filled with
cartoons directed against Russia. The
bitterness shown therein far sur
passed the feeling that is put into their
drawings by American and European
cartoonists under intense conditions.
These cartoons did much to infame

Cats That Are Necessary to Raise
Cattle.

In certain parts of Southern Cali
fornia it is absolutely necessary to
have cats to successfully raise cattle.
The cows feed on a red clover which
makes superior quality of beef. This
clover grew very sparsely until it was
discovered that one farmer, who had
raised large number of tabby cats,
always had fine clover fields.
Investigation proved that the cats
killed the field mice. who killed the
wild bees who fertilized the clover
seeds by carrying the pollen from
flower to flower, thus causing the
seeds to sprout thickly every year.
Now all the farmers have many cats.

A UNIQUE Water Cooler.

Several new devices are on the mar
ket for keeping water cool without
putting ice in it. One arrangement
consists of "a pail which has an aper-
ture for ice in the center. The water
is poured around this, and even in the
hottest weather will keep cool for
twelve hours. This is an especially
desirable scheme, for the sick room.

A New Umbrella Tar.

A new umbrella jar about nine by
twenty-seven inches is certainly much
more convenient than the tall ones
used in the past This modern one is

as well. 1t is of blue majolica and

The line on the second picture

TO ISOLATE BAD BREATH.
Scheme Of Ma gistrato Pool to Escape
Infection From Prisoners.

Danger Of poisoning from the foul breath
Of prisoners in the Tombs police court has
caused Magistrate Pool to ask Supt. Edward
Copper Of the Criminal Courts Building to
put railing in front OF his desk so as to
keep the prisoners at safe distance from
the Magistrate.
-The breath OF some Of the persons who
come before me Is not ,only offensive, but
may contain dangerous microbes" said
Magistrate Pool. 1T was only few days
ago that Magistrate Cornell was poisoned by
the foul air in Essex Market police court
des pite the precautions he had taken to
safe guard his health The germs Of many
diseases can be transmitted through the
breath, especially where persons cough or
sneeze do not feel at all safe in allowing
miscellaneous persons to approach close to
me and talk right under my nose.
Some Of the policemen, who apparently
are healthy men. have offensive breath,
probably due to bad teeth. The odor is often
almost intolerable."
The new railing is to be put in to-day.
It is an innovation which may be adopted
in the other police courts.

HELP FOR MILE DE GREvILLE.

A good fairy has taken her abode under
the hollyhocks in the neat garden Of the
little white cottage where Mile. Marie de
Greville lives dt 1912 Franklin avenue, The
Bronx, and the tide seems to have turned
in the fortunes OF Mademoiselle. No more
will the granddaughter of Napoleon's Gen.
eral have to lock herself in he cottage, ap-
pearing only at night for fear the neighbors
might laugh at her threadbare dress. The
bread and coffee days are passed too, it
maybe.
Many people who read OF Mademoiselle' a
misfort,nes and gained an idea Of her
worth called on her on Saturday and yes
terday. The fraI little old lady. dressed
In her best gown Of faded brown waist and
skirt OF another generation, was all In a
hutter at the succession OF kindly faced
men and women who came to talk with
her and to ask what they could do. She
received them with the old fashioned cour-
tesy that is marked in Mademoiselle. Her
sadness passed away like q black cloud
and Madsmoiselles laugh rang very cheer
fully as she showed her visitors around the
Immaculate garden.
Among these was Miss l.. Graham Crozier,

times upon French history and art. She

These things have made life brighter for

home by work and not have to be a mere
dependent upon organized charity has
chased away already many Of the lines that
