Japanese Morninu Gowns.

The japanese materials-silks, Don
gees, printed stufs and transparencies
have given us some wonderful
gowns. Many of these are built in the
klmona style familiar because of the
many cheap kimonas that are sold in
the shops, but otherwise they bear no
resemblance to the cheap variety, as
they are handsome and very expensive.
One can buy Japanese silk and make
II in klmona shape. Then one can EN-.
broider it down each side of the front
IN great sprays of flowers. carrying
the same trimming around the hem
wide and variegatcd.
The more elaborate the embroidery
the more oriental the gown will ap-
pear. All must be done by hand and
the embroidery must be big, brilliant
and very decorative.

Machine Stitchinu Favored,

For the drcssier gowns this fall
much machine stitching is used. 1t is
an excellent imitation of hand-work.
and when used in a shade lighter or
darker than the frock gives it a charm
ing decorative note.
The dainty chemisette or ,licky is a
noticeable style tendency OF the mo-
ment. Very many of the waists
whether for street or indoor wear, arc
cut with V neck and worn with
lace or embroidered chemisette. This
brings the rcver into fashion again.
and there are reyers of all sorts and
sizes. There are smart mannish re,
vers of velvet, and also double and
triple revers graduating in size, as
well as drapcd rcVers. which often
show touch of shrring. When the
revers and cuffs of bodice are OF
velvet. it is quite the fashion to have
the hat worn with the frock OF velvet
matching them in color.

ExTRAvAGANT LIVING.

We have it on the authority OF the
Board Of Trade that extravagant liv-
ing is a marked feature of many OF
the bankruptcy cases with which IL
leads. The number of failures record
ed last year was higher than it had
been since 1894, and in some OF the
larger cases excessive household eX-
penditure obviously contributed to the
bankrupt's ruin. 1t seems to be
common thing for . business man to
live handsomely whether he is max
ing a profit or a loss. The inspector
general in bankruptcy mentions one
ease in which debtor spent t2'00O
a year while he was losing G7,O0O
year in his business. Another man
for fourteen years spent 91,4oO
year when he was only making 3aoo
net profit These cases are typical, 1t
is believed, Of many small bankrupt"
cies, as well as OF the larger failures.
They may be sometimes explained by
negligent bookkeeping, but they are,
in the main, suggestive of the craving
for luxury which is one OF the worst
features OF our time. The standard OF
living among the rich has been raised
to an excessive degree, and those who
would like to be thought rich try to
follow the lead set by the big finan-
ciers and mining magnates who are
to our day what the Indian nabobs
were to the England of George Ill.
People who live beyond their means
are tempted to speculate, and the
bankruptcy records show the newt
able result. A course of plain living
and high thinking would be good for
the morals OF society, and good for
legitimate trade.-London Chronicle.

the young couple were returning

NOBODY LIKELY TO BE SCARED.

DR.. George F. Shrady can not fright
en- us by saying that in time the little
toe will be eliminated in consequence
of modern tight, il not ill-fitting shoes.
The sooner the little toe "goes to mar.
ket' the better. 1t is very much in
the way on some feet that should be
smaller. Like the appendix vermi.
form, modern man has no use for it.
II We were obliged to go barefooted,
we might hold an opposite opinion,
but even savages are wearing shoes
and savagesses high heels on them.
So what's the use Of worrying il the
toes cease to grow and eventually the
human foot, like the prehistoric horses
changes into a hoof. No doubt men
and women, some million years hence
will deem that sort Of extremity per
fectly ne."-Boston Herald.

Crooks Have Aid Society

81 have no doubt that people have
wondered when some crook. caught
in the act and without friends in the
place in which he came to grief, could
give bond,' said Frank G. Miller, an
ex-convict, to a Journal reporter with
whom he had previously become ac-
Guainted.
There is nothing strange about 1t,
continued Miller, "for we have an or
ganization for mutual protection, and
this has representatives in every
large city and in some Of the smaller
ones Of the United States and Canada.
Usually in the smaller places these
are lawyers, and if the crook is pinch

stood rooted to the spot with horror:
the next instant she ran into the mid
die of the couloir right in the way OF
the avalanche OF stones, and caught
her lover in her arms. Both were car
ried downward, but the brave girl
managed to stop at the brink OF the
abyss, over which the avalanche
numbered. The young girl halfdras

HABIT OF EATING TOO MUCH.

A large and steadily increasing mum.
ber of men and women have reached
or are reaching the conclusion that it
is vastly more difficult to avoid eating
a great deal too much than to get
enough to eat. The late Abram S. He.
witt once ventured some remarks on
this subject in discussion of the
living wage" showing that one who
needed or desired to could live for
very much less than it cost the aver
age wage Garner to feed himself. For
this he was much ridculed by some
and roundly abused by others. He
was perfectly right, but unwelcome
truth has ever been accounted heresy
