Whimsical Charities.

Many persons who wish to bestow
charity have strange ways of carrying
out their ideas. Some years ago an
Englishman named James Moss left
$500 to be invested in land, the rent of
which was to provide five gowns, ac-
cording to the will ''of a sad blue COLOR
for as many aged and poor men living
in the town.
Some years ago a F'renchman named
Bourne died and left to the poor of his
town a few acres of no great value. For
more than two centuries the lands
yielded only a few dollars a year. The
nearest large town began to spread and
soon took in these lands. The value in
creased amazingly, SO that today the
revenue from them amounts to over
900 a year From this sun. 6S poor
people draw pensions of $50 a year and
"a old men and women live rent free
and enjoy an annual present of $50 be-
sides.
A similar charity, which has benefited
many people, is that founded by Will
lam France. At his death he left lands
valued at few thousand dollars for
Christmas gifts to his needy fellow
townsmen The revenue has now pass
ed into hundreds, and the sum of $22-
500 is now distributed annually in the
town. OF this sum $4,000 has been con-
tributed to a local technical school and
an infirmary. One of the strangest of
these charities provided a sum of mon
ey with the direction that ION Sunday
after divine service was performed
there should be an annual ceremony OF

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is Tu
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient dis
infectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
s,T1olSine drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eninently safe cathartic.
tt absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless

lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.

are both medium and high, few if any
low or fiat crowns being shown. and
the brims are bent into all kinds of
shapes, but are seldom left smooth and
fat A few round sailor shapes have
been seen.
A great deal of mauve and violet
seems to be called for. In fact, these
appear to be the color of the season so
far A charming model, which stood
out among dozens of hats at a late
week opening, was pale violet chip
turban rolled UP in the back, with a
high bandeau which tipped the hat far
forward over the brow. The under part
of the brim was lined with malines in
a matching shade. and the entire crown
of the hat was covered with exquisite
1ilacs. There We're more lilacs to droop
over the hair at the back, with ribbon
bows and ends mingled This was
chamingly simple and effective.
The fashion of trimming hats with
several varieties of flowers is hard to
grow enthusiastic over. One little nat
of the poke bonnet order was trimmed
around the brim with pansies, rosebuds,
lilacs, cowslips, and green leaves. The
effect was good enough. as far as the
color combination was concerned, but
the mixture was too incOngruous. One
would not have greatly cared to see SO
many flowers heaped together in a gar
den. Some combinations are attractive.
A green tulle turban trimmed with pale
lilacs and a few pansies was delightful.
Likewise a sailor of lilac straw wreath
ed with deeper lilacS and very gorgeous
pansies. Much discretion should enter
into any combination of flowers. We
have long OutgrOWn the miscellaneous
bouquet with a lace paper frill around
it. Millinery should be consistent.
The lingerie hat has been brought to
a state of perfection. The handsomest
of these are extremely simple and de-
pend on their daintiness and the beau
ty of their materials for their charm.

The new model linen shirtwaists are
made with broad tuclxs running from
shoulder to waist, sometimes with
smaller tucks between. A very good
model in a shop known for the per-
fection of. its waists has three tucks a
full inch wide running the length of
the waist, with groups of tiny tuckS
between, the latter stitched for few
inches only. The back of the waist
shows a group of small tucks running
down the middle.
An extremely attractive dress of
natural colored linen was seen in a
city shop. 1t had the usual plated
skirt and had a blouse with a deep
round yoke, which was embroidered
with sprays of white wheat. There
was a great deal of the embroidery,
and the yoke was bordered at the col
larless neck and also where it Joined
the blouse, with a conventional de-
sign in white. A broad fold of the
linen in the front of the gown was en-
broidered with wheat sprays, as were
gathered into a high cuff, fastened on
the outside with white linen buttons
and loops. The belt-waS embroidered
in the conventional design used in the
yoke border.
Judging as nearly as one may from
between season styles, the walking
length skirt is an established instftu-
ton for walking gowns. The ten
dency to make all other gowns with
long skirts is plain Trains do not ap-
pear, but skirts lie well on the ground
all around, except directly in front.
The skirt five inches below the feet in
front has happily disappeared. I'm
doubtedly that skirt looked well in a
photograph, and when the wearer|
stood still. It was a torture to walk
in.

Tailored gowns for dressy wear are
made with skirts that just escape the
ground. This was demonstrated in a
new redingote gown of dark blue Bur-
ingham silk trimmed in velvet of the
same shade. The skirt of the red
ingote was very full. and laid in in
verted plaits all around. It was trim
med at the foot with a. broad band of
velvet, with two narrow bands of vel
vet above. The waist was confined in
a girdle of velvet sharply pointed at
the front, short on the hips and quite
high, giving ShOrt-waisted effect to
the bodice. This was cut square in
the neck, showing a guimpe of crea m
lace. Rows of velvet to match the
skirt trimming appeared on the waist
and the same scheme was apparent on
the cuffs of the elbow sleeve. The IN
der sleeve was formed of full ruff1es
of cream lace. The underskirt of the
gown was plated, and had no trim
ming of any sort.
ankles, ,Eleaving only a few inches of
the underskirt showing. This length
is much more graceful than the three
quarters length coats so much worn.
Still, short women should avoid wear
ing even this style, as a divided line
across the skirt invariably takes away
from the apparent height. Long, un-
broken lines are indicated for the
short woman. If broad hips be
added to shortness of limb, even
plated skirts are barred, unless the
tailor is a genius. Nothing is uglier
than a. stout woman in a full, plated
skirt. OF course dinner and evening
gowns are made with long skirts.
