DRESS FOR THE BoUDoIR.
Simple and Dainty Costumes for In
door Wear-Pretty Sacques,
Kimonas, Etc

The simple japanese kimona is In
wear, because of its ease and grace and
the quickness with which it can be ar
ranged or discarded. Many beautiful
and quite oriental designs in cotton
crepes are shown in the shops for this
purpose, reports the Washington Star.
These can made up quickly and in.
expensively, or, if desired. fashioned
out of dainty silks. The boudoir maid
who affects kimonas usually wears the
heelless toilet slipper made out of .
piece of the fabric in her kimona.
The short kimona is also much ia
vored. and is usually made Of cotton
or silk crepes or of handkerchiefs. Red
and blue bandanas and white handker-
chiefs with colored borders are favor
ite for this neglige. More fullness is
required for the kimona than the comb
ing jacket.
The strictly Grecian costume ol
white. made to fall very full in gath
ers, with cord and tassel arrangement
at the neck or waist. is another style
which finds high favor. Sometimes the
material is draped to fall from the left
shoulder or from both in soft folds
held by a knot or buckle. China ane
India silks, crepe de chimes and cotton
crepes are desirable for such robes.
For the thoroughly modern boudoii
maid a bewildering display of materi-
ais is offered-white and delicately tint
ed chiffons, mousselines. gauzes and
point d'esprits A liberty silk robe is
shown in opal shades, with an opales-
cent sequin girdle to-secure it at the
waist line.
Dressing gowns of the colonial style
are picturesque and becoming, in ad-
dition to their merit of ease .and COM
fort
Ruffled and plated ruchings have in
vaded the realm Of the boudoir gown
A red crepe de chine has angel sleeves
of accordion plated chiffon, edged with
red ruching The yoke is made entire
ly of the ruching, which has tiny silk
cord edge.
Many pretty and practical things are
shown in dressing sacks in China
silks and laces. A typical one was
made of blue satin ribbon and inser'
ton, with little plated, fan-shaped
pieces of silk inserted at intervals be-
low the waist. This feature also MADE
a full~ graceful collar and sleeves.
Pongee sacks with heavy lace collars
of Irish crochet make serviceable gar
ments. The honeycomb effect is
pleasing feature of the newest pongee
boudoir sacks. 1t gives graceful FOLDS
and is varied by little touches OF bead
ing and tinsel.

WAS A MODERN SHERLOCK
Doctors Diagnosed Woman's Case Sc
Minutely She Took Fright
and Fled.

The grave physician (this method O.
speaking of physicians is significant O
results, rather than of demeanor) care
fully examined his patient, relates th'
Baltimore American.
She had Just called in at his office ant
said she was ailing in SO many way:
that she was mystif1ed.
After having noted that she was In
deed grievously afflicted, he said:
Madam, before l can do anything a
all for you, you must move closer into
the heart Of the city"
With a start the woman said:
20, sir, but how did you know didn
live near the heart of the city,"
Gazing pityingly upon her he said:
Madam, you do not know, perhaps
that we physicians have been consider
ing special treatment for the ailmen
now known as the northwestbaltimore
tits. You live somewhere near Nortl
and Maryland avenues?"
Eyes, sir" wonderingly.
''You are accustomed to standing OF
the northwest corner of that thorough
fare and waiting for carr"
Eyes, SIR astoundedly.
"You have been doing this since the
fire crippled the companys service ant
the number of cars for awhile reminded
you of hen dentistry?"
"Yes, sir" aghast.,
'sYour case is plain. You have vari-
cose veins in both ankles, from stand
ing. You have partial paralysis of the
muscles of the jaw from chewing gun
you got from that slot machine at the
corner. The muscles of the right sidt
of your face and neck, also those o.
your back, are strained from leaning ou
from the curb looking up to Twenty
fifth street to see the car turn. Youl
eyes are popped half way out of YOU
head with the staring incumbent from
that rubbering stunt. Your toes arr
covered with corns from havins
them trodden upon in getting on the cal
and afterward. You are partially deai
from hearing the conductor say: Move
I'D forward, please You are threatened
with apoplexy on account of the anger
YOU have felt when you hung to strar
while a long-legged man sat near yo,
with his legs sprawIed out to the limit
of their reach"
But the woman, who was supersti
tious and believed he was a wizard, hat
fed precipitately lest she might add in
sanity to her other ailments.

FIXING PRICE OF POETRY.
The Only Way of Deciding What the
Real Article for Magazine
Use Is.

The great magazine editor was wrapped
in thought and cigar smoke. To him came
an assistant editor with poem, relates
the Chicago Post
This seems to have passed the usual
test" said the assistant.
Have | read it," asked the editor.
Yes"
WAS | able to make anything of it,"
NO
"Then accept it, of course"
But how much shall we pay for it,"
The great editor increased the cloud Of
thought and cigar smoke.
Have You read it," he asked, at last.
Yes
Were you able to make anything out
of ~"
No
Looks as if it might be pretty valuable,
doesn't ity How many of our manuscript
readers have tackled it!'
Six"
Gould any of them make out what the
poet was driving att
We'll, Robinson thought he got glim-
mering idea of the underlying meaning
That takes $40 off the price sald the
editor Just figure it up according to the
usual method--Sl0 added for every man
who couldn't understand it and $40 deduct
ed for every man who-could. We've got to
pay good prices for good poetry, and
there is only one way to decide what has
real magazine merit.

SUFFICIENT IDENTIFICATION.
Woman After Pension Gives Personal
Peculiarities of Her Sol

been trying to get pension because her
father had been a solder, she was not
sure in Just wha war. At first, says the
Washington Post, she was inclined to be-
heve he had fought in the Mexican war;
then she dropped back to the Seminole
war, and finally decided it was in the war
of 1912 he had served On a muster roll
of the latter war she found name that
corresponded with that of her father, but
did not furnish Mr.. Cowherd any posi-
tive means Of identification.
Mr.. Cowherd notified his constituent
that it would be necessary to identify her
father before a pension could be granted,
and in response the soldiers daughter
wrote;
My father was of medium hight, had
black hair and eyes. He could not close
one eye without closing the other and
didn't know anything about music. |

tiheation for q pension
