Whaleboned petticoats are common

There have been introduced Of late,
from Victorian times. the low shoes that

A fancy has displayed itself for capes
and three-quarter coats in a loud check
tweed.
A lace handkerchief makes an excel
lent jabot by folding it cornerwise. turn
ing the upper point so as to fall little
above the under one.
Broadtail velvet, which is really a

MODERN WAYS IN JAPAN.
Except for Being Demonstrative the
People Are Much Like
Westerners.

Ladies in Japan do not wear Jew
eled rings" wish to correct that
into Ladies of old JAPAN" etc. If you
but try to look at a tiny hand of any
girl in well-to-do family of present.
day Japan-a hand coming out Of q
scarlet-lined sleeve-you will easily
find a jeweled ring or rings on her
fingers. Jewels We had none before
but we prize them just the same. says
Sakor Shiago, in London Times. AS
to the wearing of rings, evan geatle-
men are often seen with a thick gold
ring made out of an old Japanese
coin called "koban." The study of
the introduction of a new custom is
interesting. In the case of snow
white pillows" they were first used
in hospitals, where we adopted every
thing from the west as it was. We
did not have sheets for our beds
along with that. but cleanliness recon-
mended itself to the japanese. and the
custom was readily followed by those
who took fancy to it. AS to kissing,
it'is rather delicate to touch on. but
it cannot be dismissed with a general
statement that "in affection and love
the Japanese are outwardly undamrn-
strative.' All depends upon circum-
stances. Generally sneaEing. we shun
the eyes of the public to be demon
strative, or to seek the occasion when
all can join with us. Kissing as prac-
ticed In the west is still strange 10 us,
but no one who knows about 1t would
wonder If a young couple of modern
Japan should take to It to express
their love.

HOUSEHOLD LABOR = SAVER.
An Easily Made Contrivance Which
Makes an Effectual Cut
lery Cleaner.

To do away with the greater part
of the fatigue in securing steel knives
and forks, and to secure better re-
suits, says Good Housekeeping, try
this; Get a piece of smooth hard
wood, eight inches long. six inches
wide and one inch or one inch and a
half thick. Take piece of old Brus-
sells carpet, not very heavy, 16 inches
long and seven inches wide, turn 1t bot
tom up and cut off one inch of width
for half its length in such a way that
the piece will be six inches wide on
the left half and seven inches wide
on the right half, the uneven side be-
ing toward you. Lay the carpet, bot
tom up, on the board, the back and
right margins fitting exactly and the
extra inch of width at the front. Tack
the carpet around the margin of the
board and tack the extra inch on the
edge, putting the tacks at the bot
tom only. In use, dampen the whole
wrong side (now uppermost), put the
securing material over it. place the
knife or fork on the slab, fold the
free portion of the carpet over, and.
pressing with the left hand, push the
article back and forth. In this way
both sides are polished at once. The
manner Of pressure can be shifted
from the fingers to the palm, at will,
preventing nearly all strain on the
fingers, and the work is done in a
more clearly manner To clean the
back of the blade. saw" it on the
slab. To clean the butt of the blade,
rub IT where the carpet turns over the
front edge. Forks can be cleaned bet
ter than by the common method
double the carpet in the left hand with
the fork inside to- reach the inner
edges of the tines. Many adaptations
of the continuance will suggest them
selves after using It few times, and
1t will soon prove household bless
ing" to any housewife who has many
steel knives and forks and has rubbed
till her fingers seemed ready to
break off" in the old-fashioned method
of securing.

NO DOLLARS FOR LACK"
Brother William Got Them by the
Barrelful, But the Artist Went
Home Penniless.

When the Irish poet, W. B. Yeats.
was in America, rumors Of the great
success he was making here with his
lectures reached his Irish home, and
these stories were not lessened hy the
distance they travelled The poet was
simply putting his money away in
barrels for the home trip, relates the
New York Times.
His brother Jack" determined TO
pack up and get over here before all
the money in America fell to William 3
share. So Jack" says. in telling the
story. Jack" is an artist of no little
renown. and in addition to the sar-
torial arrangements he annexed his
wife and his pictures to his outfit. de-
termined to stay long enough to sell
all mis- pictures. get as much money as
William did. and. incidentally. get or
ders. and have a high old time.
He did not announce his coming to
Brother William. II is a well-known
rule in families that IL one of the
members finds good thing the others
should not interfere. Jack" was true
TO his principles in at least keeping
his intention Of breaking the rule
dark.
He already saw the facile American
dollar in his grasp. He didn't want
to interfere with Williams gold mine.
but as long as II was wonderfully pro-
life. he felt 1t only just and right that
he should get his fingers in the pie.
When he arrived he discovered tina.
William was already on his way home
with the barrels of money in his pos
session, and nobody in America had
ever heard Of Jack" for. apparently.
the poet had been too busy with his
lectures to take his audience into his
confidence concerning the talents of
the other members of the family s.
The picture season was over, there
was a plethora of unsolds on the
walls of galleries. and the picture buy
ers were on their way across or in
their country homes. Jack" with
canvas and wife, was left high AMI
dry.
He told the story to the friends he
made with an Irish humor that made
them roar. and announced that he was
going to pack up and get back before
the barrels of money again eluded
him. The next outgoing steamer saw
Jack" with face pointed toward the
Green Isle.

A DUBIOUS JAP DELIcAcY.
An Americans First Taste Of the Fa-
vorite Raw Fish and Wasabi
Of Nippon.

The japanese are very fond Of fish
they like it picked. they like it dried.
they like it canned, they like it freshly
cooked and they like il raw. With this
last taste We Of the occident find 1t hard
to sympathize; yet at least one Amer
lean has been converted to its &C
ceptanee," says Youths Companion.
Mr. Harold Bolce has recently related
how he was skilfully and gently urged
along the difficult path of experiment
by the japanese author and diplomat,
Mr.. Tumio Yano
"0ne night at the Nippon club" says
Mr.. Bolce, he led up TO a delicate sub
iect on the menu with much diplomacy.
He finally got my assent to the state
ment that a cosmopolitan appetite is
one Of the distinguishing marks Of culti-
waited travel. Then he passed me raw
hsh.
II confessed that | was willing to be
q stick-in-the-mud or any other variety
OF Silurian rather than take place with
the international elect by eating such
dish. My host. however, was painfully
insistent, finally adding that with raw
fish they. of course. ate wasabi. Now
I did not have even a vague notion Of
what this might be, but with that raw
proposition before me II was comfort
ing to know that at least II was to be
diluted with something. figured out
also. that, with my awkwardness with
chop-sticks, might manage, without
exciting suspicion, TO drop the fish be-
fore the fatal moment, and eat only the
mysterious wasabi. But whether
through cowardice or courage, cannot
say, FISH and relish made quick and
simultaneous journey 10 my reluctant
palate, and IN that Observation-Disclosures
ten instant there flashed into my con-
sciousness the unGeniahlc truth that IN
all my occidental years had been de-
MED one Of the most sayory dishes in
the world.
Charles Lambs Chnaman had jubi-
liant delight over his first taste Of roast
pig; but that Is degraded passion COM
pared with an Anelo-Saxon's initial
ecstasy over an oriental morsel Of raw
namasu garnished with the roots Of
Eutrema wasabi,"
Raw fish anyone who desires TO try
the same experiment need not import;
he need only-a very large only-learn
to like II, and perhaps he will not need
TO import the wasabi either. in a short
time, for experiments are being made
with a view 10 growing II in America.
II is a valuable condiment with other
dishes than fish, and Is a source OF much
profit to japanese farmers. The plant
belongs to the mustard family. and can
be grown In moist soil or In running
water, like cress. an acre of land often
yielding two tons Of the edible root
Curry and chutney came from the east
long ago; soy sauce is fast following.
now wasabi Is on the way. Perhaps II
is the cooks OF the orient. rather than
our own. who will firally redeem our
race from the reproach of the famous
French epicnre who thought little OF
English civilization because. although
II had 81 forms Of religion, it had but
one sauce.

Asks New Trial On
Strange Grounds,

Omaho, Neb., Nov. 5 in a mo.
ton for new trial Of a suit for
damages in which, several days ago,
jury awarded the plaintiff. John
d. Connolly, verdict for $27, 500,
the Union Pacific Railway company,
through it's attorney, set up that
Lee S. Estelle, the district Judge
who presided at the first trial OF the
case, was too friendly and spoke In
too endearing terms to the plaintiff.
"How are you feeling this morning,
old man? the defe n d a n t
company alleges Judge Estelle said
to Connolly, and Hello lack old
boy" 1t is also alleged that the
Judge was seen to put bis arm over
the shoulder Of the plaintiff and pat
him on the back in an "undigniled
and uniudicial manner" that be

NEEDS ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
They Are Indispensable to the Girl
Who Wishes to Be a Social
Favorite.

Not only has the girl who wishes to
be social favorite need of accom-
plishments, but either she or her
brother will find business career pro-
noted sometimes by their judicious
assistance. Accomplishments may
'soothe ones hours of ease" and
therefore alone they serve their pur-
pose, says Harpers Bazaar. But be-
yond this they help one in novel
ways; they are the means to an end,
sometimes. No beginner in business
can afford TO be called butterfly;
on the other hand, if one is remark
ably proficient at dancing, in music,
even at skating or boating or in most
games of skill, such knowledge NAV
win attention and notice that Is OF
value. One might recommend (be-
yond exercise which health requires)
more attention to whist than to any
of these, having seen both young men
and women "railroaded" by their ell
ders into enviable positions, simply
because they were not fitted for them
that would not have been sufficient
but, as well, because they played a
fine game of whist Nothing in the
way of an accomplishment so attracts
the admiration of men of weight
A knowledge OF several languages
rs part OF ones EDUCATION, scarcely
an "extra% and its worth is recog-
nized. But any capability that calls
attention, without parade, to one
self is of value also. A Chicago mil
lionaire once advised young lawyer
to join certain golf club. The law
yer replied that he could not afford
the necessary expense.
"You cannot afford to neglect the
chance" was the astute rejoinder
Practice any economy rather than
that. The friends you will make
among the magnate members will pay
all your expenses many times over. "
