at the Hotel Brunswick for a few

With a smile she said "You mustn't

OIL Company. am not. am simply
getting together facts and presenting
them to the public.
''The pulpits and the newspapers
can draw the morals and point out
ethical conclusions. I leave that side
entirely to them. II there seems to be
a conflict between the religious life
and the business life of some Of these
people. I shall let others speak Of 1t.
ut Is a peculiar fact about these
men OF the Standard oil Company
that they are the church men. the re.
spccted men. the men that labor SIX
days and 20 to church the seventh
the men who contribute largely to The
support Of the church.
"rhese men are standing upon and

made against them they never stop to

their irreproachable lives that they

Oucer EaCts AhOut steel.

Although the steel and Iron indus.
try Is one Of the mightiest of the
world and offers such rewards that
some of the greatest chemists and
other scientists study nothing else.
there are lots OF apparently simple
puzzles about 1t that no one has been
able to solve yet. Til, man who dis.
covers the right answer to one or
more OF them may make 100000
out of 1t.
Every one who handles steel knows
that 1t gets "tlred" ut times. After a
piece Of steel has been subjected to a
severe strain for certain period II
may suddenly show decided weak
ness. Then the experts say that It ID
tired; and SO 1t IL. for II 1t Is allowed
to rest a while 1t regains Its old
strength.
Recently It has been found that a
steel beam can be made stronger by
increasing the load on 1t gradually
In other words, by exercising 1t just
as a man exercises his muscles when
he wishes to make them stronger.
Very often new steel will not pass
tests that 1t should pass. but after a
few weeks 1t is found that 1t has
grown better and passes the tests
beautifully. Then. again. steel that
was perfect when 1t was tested often
gets "sick." 1t cracks or becomes
brittle. although other steel made al
the same time In the same way re-
mains perfectly so. No man knows
to-day why these things happen, but
lots of people are trying to find out.

You can make of odds and ends OF

pretty o'clock tea jackets, and here
fashion is most elastic. You can
wear the tea jacket short or long. as
your fabric allows. A fchu-like collar
or V-shaped vest of lace at the neck
is a charming finish, and the sleeves
can be picturesque, long and hang
ing, or short and pulled to the elbow.
One of the prettiest jackets was
made out of length of pale blue

terial for a full sleeve. so it was
tight to the elbow, cut in scallops,
finished with some accordion-plaited
blue chiffon edged with remnant OF
Valienciennes lace. The collar was
made of white muslin, with insertion
and edgings of Valenciennes, fasten-
ing to one side, with big chou OF
palest pink and blue chiffon.

Revival of Flower Turban.

For the flower turban one harks
back to the days when every woman
had violet turban.
This turban is rather large this sea.
son. 1t is pointed in front and is COW
cred as to the top with violets. while
the sides are tEatched with leaves.
This violet and green together form a
very pretty combination which can be
made dressier by the addition of a
pink velvet bow, or series of little
pink velvet bows, arranged around the
crown in such manner that the little
bows touch the hair.
The gown to wear with the flower
toque is unquestionably gown of the
same color. A pretty purple, pansy
colored, or a lavender gown goes beau
tifully with violet trimmed hat. And
one can even essay to wear pink If
one cares to do so.

Piueon Pie,

Choose four pigeons, and having
drawn, cleansed and trussed them
nicely. blanch and mince the livers
with one ounce of beef marrow, four
peeled mushrooms, one-half pound of
veal, some picked herbs and a table
spoonful of fine bread crumbs. Sea-
son it with salt. pepper and grated
nutmeg, mixing it all through, and
then put tablespoonful of the mix
ture in each bird. Line pie-dish
with some of the forcemeat and, after
putting in the birds. arrange tiny
rolls of thinly sliced bacon and slices
of hard-boied egg between the layers
with small dabs of butter at intervals.
After this is done cover the pie with
a good paste. leaving hole in the
center. After baking in moderate
oven. and just before serving, pour
a gill of clear rich gravy into the pie
through this center opening.

Ferns in Pots.

Many persons have given up grow
ing ferns in rots on account OF poor
success with them. They get fine
plants from the florist and in a few
months they go to pieces. There are
but a few things to know in order to
keep ferns in good condition, and
have them increase in beauty from
year to year, says an authority. They
must be grown in moist atmosphere.
If kept in hot, dry room they will do
no good. For this reason they do
poorly in rooms heated by steam or
hot water, unless provision is made
for adding moisture to the air. A
room heated by hotair heater which
has an evaporating pan is the best for
ferns. Also the soil must be kept
moist at all times. yet be well drained.
The soil should be made up of peaty
loan, one part, and leaf mold one part,
and handful of bone-meal to a pot.

out in Oriental coloring with collar

Lace Frocks,

Be it black or white, lace dress is
more useful for an afternoon costume
than almost any other sort of gown.
For one thing deep lace gown will
frequently do service in the evening
for the theater or when staying tenn
porarly at some hotel, besides which
it is the kind of dress which, made up
now, can be worn right through the
year, being equally appropriate at all
seasons.
Now is certainly the best time to
have lace gown made up. for it will
then be ready for the spring weddings,
luncheons. and bridge" afternoons,
besides which it is always easier to
get ones costumes bought and fitted
before the great rush commences.

therefore the very youthful evening
frocks are still simple blouse waists
gathered into close-fitted moderate
girdles with the pretty 1880 berthas
draping the shoulders and falling
wide over the full elbow sleeves. The
skirts of the frocks follow the prevail
ing mode-wide and round gathered
or plated at the waist and trimmed
with ruffles or founces about the
lower half. Decided favor is being
shown velvet as trimming on sheer
fabrics just at present, though this
may be varied by ribbon ruffles set on
in rows, waves or scrolls.

Styles in Hairdressing.

A commendable feature of the hair
dressing styles of to-day is the lati
tude permitted maid and matron. The
arrangement of the hair that is best
suited to the face is the style so fal
as the individual is concerned. and
while the low coiffures is now seen
more frequently than for some tim
heretofore the high style is by nc
means out of date and it is simply
a matter of choice and becomingness
For evening particularly is the high
couture retained, the prevailing style
of hats being better adapted to the
low arrangement of the hair for less
ceremonious occasions and street
wear.

women. This condition is due to
anemic nerve centers. The nerve
centers are the reservoirs of nervous
vitality. These centers become blood
