JUST FOR and
ABOUT WOMEN
stnrtsnr n style.

The long coat for women is said to
have been introduced by Nine. de Pom
padour as the correct" riding coat at
the time when she organized the royal
hunting parties at Versailles. This in
nOvation, like everything decreed by
the "grande marquise," was scrupu-
lously followed by the ladies of the
court. No sooner had she set the ex-
ample by wearing this becoming gar
ment than the entire train of both
king and queen adopted this more prac-
tical form of dress in preference to the
Powered silks and satins worn hither-
to- In this way Nine. de Pompadour
rendered the sport easier to the ladies'
who preferred riding. The coat was
carried out in a bright colored cloth re-
Iieved with fancy galloon or embroider-
les. The most effective material how
ever, was velvet in a variety Of beau
tiful shades. This becoming fashion
was still much in vogue during the
''reign" Of Nine. Du Barry. In a well
known portrait by Drouais she is rep
resented in the popular embroidered
velvet hunting coat and, curiously
enough, wearing a mans powdered
wig.

Clothes and Heat.

When we speak Of warm or cool
clothing we use as absolute a metaphor
as when we talk Of the sun going down
or the rosy fingered dawn" Clothes
can communicate neither heat nor cold
to the body. Fur is not warm nor lin
en- cool, except as they serve as con-
ductors for the heat generated by the
body itself Fur and wool are excel
lent nonconductors Of heat-that is,
they do not allow the heat of the body
to escape so easily as some other mate
rials-and the reason why fur is one
of the poorest conductors of heat is
not, as might be supposed, so much be-
cause Of it's thickness and weight as
because Of the air which is mingled
with or confined between its fibers,
confined air being one Of the most eff
fectual nonconductors Of heat known.

MARVELS OF GROWTH
HOW NATURE SUPPLIES SOME LOST
ORGANS IN ANIMALS.

The Worm Can Grow a New Brain,
the Spider New Legs and the Snaf1
New Eyes-ReneyvaI of the Horns Of
the Deer and the Limbs of the Crab.
In the many marvels of the animal
world there is nothing more wonderful
than the mystery OF growth and the
lavish way in which nature not only
supplies heads and eyes, legs and tails,
but also supplementary members, to
take their place when those useful IL
not necessary articles are destroyed or
lost.
The replacement Of lost organs is
more common as we approach the foun-
dations of life and is almost absent
from it's pinnacles and battlements.
There is a popular idea that every part
Of the human body is renewed in the
course of seven years and that the
grown man who gazes on his strong
limbs and Oby means of a mirror at his
comely or uncomely face is looking at
totally different person from the
child who was his infantile represent
ative. He was John Smith at ten, he
is John Smith at twenty-five, and yet
every particle has changed. He is an
other John and another Smith - the
same, yet not the same.
How much of this theory is true 1t
is difficult to say and not very prohta-
BILE to discuss, but we know that the
body is capable Of renewal as well as
Of ordinary growth. Cuts and wounds
are filed up by new flesh growing
from the sides until the seams are COM
pletely mended. 1t is possible TO take
skin from one persons healthy fore
head and to graft it upon another per
sons nose, and blood, it is believed,
may be drawn from the veins Of the
robust and made to flow in those Of the
feeble.
More commonplace growths are IA
miliar to every one. The skin Is ever
being rubbed OF washed away, hair re-
0uires cutting at inconveniently short
Intervals. human nails demand the
scissors, the claws of cats are reset by
the aid Of the drawing room furniture
and those Of the tiger by means OF a
friendly tree. The horns OF male deer
and in the case Of the reindeer those OF
the female also, which in. some In
stances weigh half a hundredweight
are broken off and grow again year by
year.
But with these exceptions there Is
nothing in the higher animals CORE
spending to the replacing Of limbs IN
the crab. 1t is only when we leave the
mammals and the birds that we arrive
at the miracle Of growth which the
fishermen call "sprouting" and which
men OF science term the regeneration
of lost parts. 1t is at its meridian in tho
crabs and the spiders, while its dawr
must be looked for far below the mol
lusks and the worms. Man, so to speak
