platipum-Scarcity and Value.

So numerous are the uses of plati-
mum that it is easy to forget how small
are the quantities used for each partic-
ular purpose. and TO get an eXagger-
atcd idea of the annual production or
this peculiarly precious metal AS
matter of fact. there is gathered of 1t
from the whole world only between
10000 and 10000 ounces, and Of this
amount the United States, despite the
extent of its mineral wealth, supplied
only 11O ounces in 1908 and that was
sixteen ounces more than t produced
the year before. The value of the llo
ounces was $1,000. That was our dl-
rect output of platinum, but about
three times as much was saved as a
by-product of certain mines in Wyom-
ing. Russia is the great platinum
country, supplying ninety per cent. OF
all that is used, and most OF the rest
comes from Colombia.
The Electrical Review. summarizing
the coming report of the Geological
Survey. says that the total value of
our platinum imports in 1903 amounted
TO S2,O55. .933. which was distributed as
follows: Unmanufactured, 1926 pounds
tS32S 1888; ingOts. bar sheets and wire,
G3OS pounds ($1,591, ,94D; vases, retorts
and other apparatus, vessels and parts
thereof for chemical uses, S12S, $500;
articles manufactured of platinum,
5000. The price of pure platinum
in wholesale quantities at New York
continued during the whole of 1908,
rs during the last seven months of
1902. at $40 an ounce. The value Of
platinum lies in its power of resisting
heat and its small affinity for the other
elements. 1t lac,.s both the beauty
Of gold and the strength of iron, but in
its own place it has no substitute, and
as it is extremely scarce its price ve

Garment For Fashionable Woman.

What might be termed a cape with
sleeves is garment which just now
finds high favor with the middle-aged
woman, because it can be worn over
the high-sleeved blouse without in
furious effect on the undergarment.
The wrap proper is pleated into a col
lar-shaped neckpiece, which is COM
pletely hidden under embroideries. The
sleeve and the coat being cut in one,
the garment hangs in full folds
straight from the shoulder to a point
well below the knee. Between each
of the dart-shaped pleats are inserted
embroidered motifs to match those
employed on the collar and shaped
neckplece. The sleeves are gathered
into a large fiat band of the embrod-
cry and the yoke effect is enhanced
by the use Of ribbon rosettes with long
ends finished off with silk tassels.
This model developed in hunters green
cloth, with gold and tan embroidery
and tan-colored ribbons, was most ef-
fective.
Where the two-piece suit is used the
long fur stole is employed TO reduce
the tailored effect. AS the season ad-
vances women seem to add more and
more tails TO these long stoles, and
they now sweep the hem of the dress.
Particularly with fox and sables, rows
of tails are set on at regular intervals
until the front of the garment looks
like a shower of fur pieces. Muffs
go to extreme. They are either very
fat. suggesting a great envelope, or
they are very tiny, the latter being
built from rare lace combined with
tiny fur tails and flowers.
There is no question regarding the
revival of seal for next year, and wise
virgins in the matter of fashions are
picking up sealskin wraps included in
the reduced garments, with the view
of using them next year, if not to wear
them this season. A wonderful i'm
portation from London house shows
long ulSter-like coat of seal, with
immense shawl collar or sable. 1t is
said that another combination which
will be extremely popular is one that
was common years ago. that of seal
and beaver.-Newark Advertiser.

STYLES in Buckles.

In plain fiat gold a buckle of colonial
shape with two prongs was set off
at the corners by marquis stones in
American Beauty red. Another in sill
Yer showed sapphires at the corners to
match the royal blue belt, says the
Philadelphia Telegraph.
Children's heads in silver are en-
ployed as clasps and are marvels of
the silversmith's art. In one, the fea-
lures of a little girl smiling through
grandmother's spectacles, peered from
the depths of a poke bonnet. Another
showed a roguish baby's face with
tousled hair.
A ieweled buckle will transform an
otherwise simple dress. Peacocks
have their bodies studded with rhine
stones and the fan-shaped tails picked
out by rhinestones and emeralds. Crab
or centipede designs are most effective.
Each of their many legs is a line of
rhinestones and the bodies are closely
studded with glittering brilliants.
The horsewoman can have her gold
buckle combination of horseshoe and
nails, and the girl who has a fancy
for her monogram on all her posses
siOns can have an odd though smart
buckle showing her initials in Chinese
characters.

A Sensible Fad.

Perhaps it is because her attention
has been directed TO the thrifty, in
dustrious Dutch maiden that the New
York smart girl adopted for her very
own such Il sensible fad as sewing.
For some years past the fashionable
girl has never been able TO find any
time for sewing. Now she has sud
denly acquired Il fondness for making
pretty things with her needle-dalnty
chemisettes, frilly undersleeves and
sheer turnover collars and cuffs, to
say nothing of Transforming plain
pockethandkerchiefs into things of
beauty. Her sewing afternoon is now
as much the fashion as an afternoon
tea. Many times prizes are given for
the most original bit of hand-work,

new in the way of chemisette. And

over her sewing fad served individual

Rife shooting at a standard range
promises to become a popular sport
among the fashionable women of Phil
adelphia, due to the example set by
Mrs. Anthony ]. DreXel during her re-
cent visit. she brought the idea from
England, and it bears the stamp of
royal approval. Society has therefore
taken kindly to the sport, and dealers
in firearms are being overwhelmed
with inquiries regarding weights and
kinds of rifles suitable for women.
The secret of Mrs. DreXers devotion
to the sport of rife shooting did not
leak out until just after her departure,
together with her husband and Lord
Vane Tempest. Upon the return OF
Mrs. DreXel and Lord Tempest from
an extended tour of the West, valet
was frequently seen about the hotel
carrying three rife cases, one of which
was much smaller than the others.
1t was known that the rifle carrier
was Mr.. DreXcl's valet, but nothing
was definitely known of what was
going on until Mrs. Norman White
house, of New York, happened to send
long gossipy letter to a friend in this
city in which she told of the interest
she and Mrs. DreXel are taking in
range shooting and how carefully they
compare scores daily and the benefit
they feel as a result of the outdoor
exercise.
1t appears that Mrs. DreXel, while
here, was coached on the sport by
Lord Tempest. Each afternoon dur.
ing her stay here Mrs. DreXel would
| journey with her husband and Lord
| Tempest to the First Regiment range,
near Essngton, and before leaving she
had scored several bulls eyes; knew
what the scorer meant by u o'clock
| breeze and had learned to manipu'
late the sights without jamming her
shapely fingers.
Meanwhile Mrs. Whitehousc was
practcing at a range near Creedmoor
and the two society leaders exchanged
daily letters telling OF their successes
| Mrs DreXel tried every range from
100 to 1000 yards. Towards the last
Mrs. DreXel induced several of her
more intimate women friends to go tC
the range with her and try their luck
and thus the practice has been given q
great impetus. Just before sailing
from New York Mrs. DreXel and Mrs
Whitehouse were warmly congratulate
ed upon their skill by Lord Tempest
at o dinner party, and arrangements
were suggested which will probably
result in the formation of a shooting
club made up Of fashionable women oi

Vulnerable small eating houses vie With
one another in providing the most at.
tractive menus at prices within the
reach of very humble purses. A pc.
rusal of these menus will reveal large
variety of dishes of beef with high
sounding names, which upon closer ac.
quaintance will prove to be manufac.
tured from horsehesh. Judging, how.
ever, from the numbers of young per-
sons of both sexes who patronize these
establishments daily, the fare meets
with their appreciation. One such, its
portals painted delicate pastel green,
offers portion of meat, veal, beef or
mutton for ten cents, ''half portion"
for five cents OF the thirty or forty
students-a large sprinkling being
Amercans-who may be seen any day
seated at the long tables .'chez Lar
nier," large proportion order only the
small helping, making up with the big
platefuls of carrots, beans, potatoes,
etc, to be had for one penny. The beef
at this establishment, by whatever
name it is served up, is almost invaria-
bly, horse beef, but, thickly covered up
with sauce of all sorts, it finds an un.
complaining acceptance from the hun
CRY young people, who accompany their
meal with unlimited chaff and gossip.
Montparnasse has another speciality
besides its spurious "biftecks." At
the head of its i'll written bills OF fare
there may be frequently seen pate de
foie gras, two cents" This ought to
be eaten with more discretion than the
beef for it is compounded of pigs liv-
ers, and the portions are large enough
to upset the digestion of an ostrich.
The native loves this savory hors
d'oeuvre and often begins his meal
| with it. Taken in conjunction with
the beef and very solid rice cake,
also very popular in these spheres, it
seems to call for the flip provided by
| the four-cent cup of black coffee, with
| a two-cent dash of kirsch or cognac.
This is a typical luncheon in the busy
Latin Quarter, and much testimony
might be obtained as to its satisfying
nature.
At more ambitious restaurants than
Larner's the staple ingredient of the
meat soups with which every French
man begins his evening meal is horse
flesh. so that in one dress or another
the six million kilos of horse meat
which are sold annually in the meat
market of Paris are more ubiquitous

Fans and Gloves.

A new wrinkle in gloves is that the
long suede mOsquetaires may match
the tint of the frock exactly. More
white than colored gloves are worn,
however, and more white slippers than
tinted ones. But TO match a family
colored gown slippers sometimes have
the toe trimmed in color with white
lace or embroideries setting off the
bow or roSette. All evening slippers
are wonderfully fussy, and everything
is seen upon them, from a genuine
diamond buckle to little wreath of
pink rosebuds.
Fans. be it said to the shame of the
makers of modes, are daily growing
bigger. Some of the radiant Louis
sort, with their superb paintings, are
still small enough not to lose in love
illness; but the fan of the moment is
an ostrich feather affair, made in a set
form or TO open and close. 1t is rather
clumsy for small women, though the
venus of fashion will carry one off
superbly.-Philadelphia Inquirer.
