three handsome bays, driven by a
smart coachman in livery, and its con-

the way, was the son Of a naval cap

was quite common for the poke bonnet

size. running up to four inches in
length This is the plain article. 9th
ers. also large and I'm the Roman shape,
are enameled or composed entirely OF

and opal represent the usual stones for
this purpose. These crosses are all
worn on n plain and rather light lor-
gnette chain OF gold.
less pronounced and appealing to
quieter tastes are the small and dainty
versions Of this object In either the
Roman or the Greek form. A favorite
is in gold with a single stone in the
center, as here sketched. This less ag-
gressive presentment of the new ac-
cessory will better act as a pendant
on the dog collar. which is largely sup.

had so phenomenal a run for the past
two seasons.

Amethysts, with their rich, velvety
lovely tint. are undoubtedly very much
In fashion again, and It is said to be the
exquisite taste OF Queen Alexandra

The rnrIr Use Of sEnte..

Holland is said to be the home and
birthplace Of skating, and without
doubt skating was first practiced there
and in the far north. In n country OF
lakes and canals the necessity Of walk
ing and running on Ice must have been
felt from the earliest days tIn Hol-
land they show the bone skates which
were found IN one Of the mounds OF
which a Friesland village was built.
The skates were fastened to the feet
by straps passed through holes which
were made in the bones. A Danish
historian mentions the sport In 1874.
The bone skates were also first used In
England. A writer In his account OF
the amusements OF the young people OF
London in the twelfth century men
tions the fact that II was usual for
them to fasten the leg bones Of ami
mails under the soles Of their feet by
tying them around their ankles; then.
taking n pole shod with iron. they push
ed themselves forward with great ra-
pldlty by striking this pole into the Ice.

The smallest leftovers of soap
may be used by placing the bits to-
gether in a small bag of linen or
cheesecloth and tying securely, so
that none of them can escape. The
bag is used in precisely the same
way as a tablet of soap would be,
the soap oozing freely through the
fabric when the latter is immersed
in water.
For the bath a soap bag is rather
to be preferred to the piece of soap,
being decidedly less elusive and, on
