CRINoLINE NOT RETURNING.

Although the women of fashion have
received several severe and uncalled-
for shocks regarding the return OF
crinoline, the verdict has proved faise,
for which they should be duly thank
full. But in its stead there are all sorts
of clever substitutes, which, while they
certainly do give a most graceful out
line to the silhouette, are very far re-
moved from the grotesqueness of the
much dreaded crinoline. Some women
of daring have appeared on several oc-
casions gowned in garments which
looked susplciousy as though they
were very much "crinolined,' but any
further than few Camsels who are
seeking for novelty nothing has been
done. There is Il certain class or
women who have been trying to lead
the fashicl instead of being follower,
but the end is always inevitable, and
they never get beyond making them
selves ridiculous, conspicuous and the
cause for much comment. 1t is true
that gowns are not as iiimsy as they
might be, but Dame Fashion has
brought the change about in her most
tactful manner, and 1t is not felt to
any great extent There is really
delightful latitude in styles of this
sort, and women who have heretofore
found it difficult TO dress becomingly,
have at last found vast variety to
select from. A noticeable fact is that
crepe de chimes have an increasing
vogue, and it is no wonder. lhey
make up beautifully and allow of the
greatest scope for trimming and using
original and novel dcsigns.-Washing-

always suit, and most Of them require
too many players. Let us solve the
problem.
Here Is pastime that is real fun.
for 1t depends on skill. 1t is fun even
when played alone, for you can always
try TO beat your own best previous
score. and every time you try it you
become just so much more expert 1t
is for girls as well as boys. so n brother
and sister can spend jolly afternoon
at it without either wanting to see any
friends, who are pretty sure not TO
come in OH a very bad day.
You need two nails, a string and n
ring of some kind. about six inches in
diameter. If you have no old curtain
ring or something else of that sort.
you can easily make a ring that will
serve your purpose perfectly well by
getting a thin piece of board. marking 4
circle seven inches in diameter or its
surface, and inside of that another
circle six inches in diameter. Now
drive nail in the ceiling. If there is
no hook for q lamp or chandelier al
ready there. and another nail in the
wall with its head pointing upward at
an angle of about 45 degrees. Suspend
your ring from the nail in the ceiling
by string just long enough to allow
the ring to swing its centre over the
nail in the side wall and hang there.
Now you are ready TO begin.
Stand by the nail in the side of the
wal! with your right hand holding the
ring close to the nail. Now push the
ring away from you. trying TO make
it swing back and hook over the ring.
There! OF course you didn't 90 1t.
The ring came back and struck the
nail, but did not catch on il. In order
to catch on the projecting nail the ring
must swing in q circle. II you do 1t
once out of your first ten trials yOu are
lucky. 1t requires q very nice sense
of distance. a careful eye and light
touch to do it just right. Not so easy
as it seems. is it?
1t takes lot of practice to score
three out of five trys. Get your brother
to try it with you. and he will be as
tonished to find he is no better at this
than you are. In fact, girls are best at
this game. and. strange rs it may
seem. their Judgment of distance more
accurate.

"innings" Of ten points each.

A READING CORNER,

Another effective arrangement is to
turn an angle in a room with the as
sistance of the piano into an invitin :
reading corner. When converting a
corner of this kind into cozy nook
the position of Il piano from the
musicians standpoint should lie taken
into consideration. No matter how ar
ustic the setting, no detail in a room
can be success unless it adequately
fulfills the purpose for which it is in
tended, and the reading corner is no
exception.
To place couch or settee with its
back against a piano is altogether
wrong. The piano may make an at
tractive screen if properly manipulat-
ed and form an excellent background
for seat, but the performers advan-
tage point is lost. Then another OBJ
lection is that when playing or sing
ing is going on couch placed against
the back Of piano must necessarily
be left vacant, for it is hardly an un-
mixed pleasure to listen to music with
the drum of ones ear against the pi-
ano.
So the ideal way to put up a corner
Of this character is to draw a we'll
filed bookcase quite close to the back
of the piano, with a luxurious loung-
ing chair placed near it in a position
where the light from the window may
reach the reader.-Bridgeport Tele-
gram.

FOR THE MOTHER.

Knickers are to be worn again by
girls this season and again with the
full skirts they take the place of a
petticoat. They are sometimes made
of the materials of the frock, but are
generally Of flannel or silk. When
made Of q material that's not washable
they are fitted with an adjustable lin
ing of thin cotton material If not worn
over the ordinary knit underwear.
The latest school coat ends a few
inches above the knees, which is long
enough for warmth and not too long
for comfort in walking. 1t is cut in
circular form. flares gradually from
neck to hem, and the sleeves are am
pie. The frock is generally confined
loosely with n stitched belt.
Flannel waists are worn more than
for a long time, and the new flannel
comes in beautiful pale colors, with
hair line stripes, small checks or Il
small Persian design, and also plain.
1t washes like cotton and is just the
thing for waists Of bretelle frocks.,
There is a variety of shapes in bre-
telles. but the simplest and most pop
ular is quite narrow at the waist Is
buttoned to the skirt band, and grad
ually widens to about four or five
inches over the houlder.-Philadel-

WOMEN FLORISTS,

Women florists! Why not? Yes, in
deed, why should not women try their
hand and artisticality at this business
as well as men, and it seems rather
strange that it has not been tried long
ago. 1t has now become quite a fad
to employ women decorators, and they
have proven to be great benefit in
this kind of work. There is great pos
sibility of them Overstepping the
bounds Of popularity and making the
male portion feel rather out of place.
At recent wedding the decorations
were most superb, and the hostess took
great delight in making known the
fact that woman decorated. She also
added that "as many times as l have
had the house decorated, it has never
looked SO beautiful as now" The
work may not be exactly genteel, and
yet it is equally as much 90 as many
other occupations. Women should
know how to tie effective bows on
bouquets and such like, and many little
touches might be added which prac-
tical man would not think Of. Bridal

DARNING STOCKINGS.

Darning stockings is never very
welcome task, and too often in the case
where there is large family the task
seems almost endless. The following
method will insure less darning. be-
cause the darns being more secure will
last longer: Before beginning to darn
q hole tack piece Of coarse net lightly
to the stocking over the hole, then darn
over the net and be sure to also darn
well into the stockings as well to keep
the darn firm. The net makes such a
good foundation that the work is more
quickly done, and the result is much
smoother and neater darn than one
done in the old way.-Washington Star.

Death of an Exile.

Miss Eliza Bayne died in the Lyon
County. Kansas, poorhouse the other
day. She came to Americs more than
forty years ago from France. She was
highly educated and intelligent. Her
destination was Kansas City, where a
half-brother had lived and died. and
she was in quest of certain moneys
which she had intrusted TO the half
brothers care. During the fifteen
years Miss Bayne lived in Emporia she
kept about her person a silk French
flag in which she desired to be buried
and in which she was buried. After
her death $50 were found sewed in the
seam OF her dress. The poor old soul
had been boarding the money for years
in order that she might not be buried
as a pauper.-New York News.

ADMIRE AMERICAN FASHIONS.

In spite of the fact that many Amer
lean young women go to Paris to get
their trousseaux, Princess Cecilia, who
on Kaiser Wilhelm's death will probab-
ly become Empress Of Germany, be-
cause of her approaching marriage to
the Crown Prince, is ordering large
part of her outfit in America. She is
said to be one of the best dressed wo-
meI il German, and, whereas, Teu-
tonic bellies until recently have not
been noted for style, they have made
ouch progress since the century's end
that the compliment is not an empty
one.
Princess Cecilia is especially choice
in regard to her footwear. She has
much smaller feet than those of the
average German woman, md insists
on a glove fit for her shoes. Every
boot shoe ard slipper fo- her trOus-
seau is being made in the United
States, firm having sent special
representative there to take the meas
ure of her foot.
The Princess is also h wing Il her
summer shirtwaists made here, and
has ordered most of her hats from a
New York firm. She is said to greatly
admire the dressy styles of the Amer
lean women, and especially approves
of the manner in which our women
wear their clothes.-Newark Advertis-
