VOGUE OF THE NIGHTCAP.
Dainty Lace Headgear Now Fashion
able

From the London Express.
Society has taken to wearing nightcaps-
not the old-fashioned kind, but exquisite
creations of muslin and lace, deliberately
trimmed with ribbon.
Countess Fabbricottl, the famous society
beauty and one of the latest recruits to the
ranks of titled milldners, is responsible for
the quaint revival The countess discov-
cred for herself the becoming properties of
dainty little mob caps frilled with lace and
decorated with dainty ribbons. and now she
is teaching her assistants how to make
nightcaps for her customers in South Mol
ton street.
"The revival of the nightcap has been ex-
traordinarily successful" said the countess.
when first introduced the little caps OF
lace a few weeks ago 1 never thought they
would have such vogue.
.'Of course, the old style of nighteap was
terribly unhygienfc, but that cannot be al
legged against the little caps that l make,
for they are made entirely of lace or open
netting.
young people as we'll as old wear them.
Indeed, / have just got an order for two
dozen real lace nightcaps for a BRIDE"
The countess can advance a variety or
reasons why women should return to the
dainty little head-coyerings of early Vic
torian times.

The Fad in Partisan Millinery.

A Unique Process of Irrigation.
From the Scientific American.

FROM the Scentinc American
The italian professor Cusmano has
originated a process which assures an
ample supply of water to plants growing
in regions where the dry season is of long
duration. Use is made of the Barbary
nopal, the Opuntia vulgaris, fig tree which
is widely acclimated and bears figs that are
excellent reservoirs of moisture. In spring
a ditch thirty centimeters deep and about
two meters in diameter Is dug at the foot
of the tree that is to be protected from
the drought. This ditch is filed with the
figs cut into pieces about two fingers thick;
to make a dense layer. they are beaten
down and stems added as the mass
piles up. This mucilaginous pulp. covered
with layer of earth. stores up much wa
ter and gives IT out gradually, thus water
ing the tree a long time. Prof. Cusmano
asserts that after four months of drought
he has found pulp still fresh. capable of
supporting vegetation. and the foliage was

Open net made by French peasants has
also been used for making these little addi-
tons to the feminine nightgear. With a
full frill and doves of eau de Nil and pale
pink ribbon this makes very attractive

anything from three or four shillings to as
many pounds If real lace is used.

Chinese Made the First Paper.

From the Technical World Magazine
Like good many other modern indus

with the Chinese. The papyrus of the
Greeks and Romans was not paper at all,
but simply the piths of the stem of q
plant cut into strips. placed side by side
and across each other and pressed into

plant gave a homogeneous character. But

methods and machinery of today.

Some curious hiding places have been
found for the concealment of stolen wheels,
and 1t was because of the nature of the
hiding places that the work of recovery
was made difficult. Often 1t happens that
boys take bicycles and hide them in their
own homes without their parents being
aware Of their presence on the premises.
1t Is an easy matter for a boy to conceal
a wheel in coal bin or shed, where he
can cover it with coal or rubbish and keep
1t concealed until he thinks 1t is a safe
proposition to ride 1t upon the streets. but
many a boy who has tried the game found
that 1t did not work.
The most effective way of obliterating
traces of ownership, the police say, Is by
taking wheels apart and making bicycle
with parts of several wheels. When this is
done 1t Is a difficult matter for an owner
to pick out his wheel on the street. but
the frame is bound to contain the tell-tale
number, and the rider of it Is almost certain
to get caught If he appears upon the
streets
Dealers in secondhand wheels sometimes
have experiences with bicycle thieves, and
usually they manage to lose a few dollars
upon such transactions. While their licenses
to do business protects them to some extent
they are not protected to any extent when
they buy stolen property. Most of the
dealers are able to tell the difference be-
tween owners who want to sell and crooks
who want to sell wheels belonging to others
and 1t often happens that they succeed in
capturing crooks for the ponce. In cases
where wheels are taken by novices and
they get frightened they are left in alleys
upon the streets, and In such cases
the prosecutions can only be under the
code for carrying off the property of an
other without the consent of the owner.
Pawnbrokers as rule, never deal in BIZ
cycles, and II is only occasionally that one
of them will engage in such a transaction
Some of the pawnbrokers will take wheel
from a regular patron. but none of them
will take one from a stranger.
