How 70 Sweeten Sugar A%rtfficialIy.

All sugar is not sweet, OF rather
sweet enough to come up to the re-
Quired standard Of sweetness, so some
kinds must be sweetened artiicially
There are many establishments where
this process is carried N. A cone OF
sugar is placed over an apparatus apex
downward, many little holes in the ap'
paratus coming in contact with the
point of the cone. 4 thick liquid is
poured OH the fiat end Of the cone and
the machinery is set in motion. The
holes become the mouths Of the sue
ton tubes. and the sweetening liquid
is drawn through the cone, giving il
the necessary quality.

Velvet on Lace.

A dress being made for one who is
to sojourn in the sunny South intro
duces one to a novel fashion. 1t is a
lace gown trimmed with velvet. This
particular example of a new mode IS
of white Irish crochet lace. There is
a deep founce around the skirt, which
is further adorned with three rows vi
cords, each being covered with blue
velvet. The corsage is also of the lace,
and here the cord trimming is confined
to the rather large leg O mutton
sleeves. There is a little chemisette
of tucked null, and the tiny revers
which frame it are faced with the vel
vet. Though exceedingly simple the
dress is as far out Of the commonplace
as it is attractive.

Wearers OF es.

Cockades were formerly worn only
by soldiers. which gave rise to the
phrase, common both in England and
Franco, ito mount the cockade.' mean
ing to become a soldier. The black
cockade worn on the hats Of officers
servants was introduced into Britain
by George I. from his German domin'
ions. The real right to use 1t belongs
not only to naval and military officers,
but also to the holders of certain Offices
under, the crown, such as Privy Coun'
cllors. Cabinet Ministers and judges,
though many people who cannot claim
to be classed under any Of these cate
gories display it on their servants hats

It Mems Ignorance.

It is so evident in physical. matters
that negative truths are comparatively
useless, that few people would pride
themselves on knowing only that this,
that, and the other idea or theory re-
specting the universe or the matter Of
which it is composed, is not true. But
when it comes 10 religion, there are
many persons who take an absurd
pride in mere doubts, and some even
in a profession Of Ignorance pure and
simple. They try to dignity Ignorance
by using the Greek form Of the word
agnosticism-but it means Ignorance,
and nothing more.

For Wet Wpath OF.

A rainy day convenience is a new
rubber which is so small that it will
hardly serve except in damp weather
when the mud is not deep. 1t amply
protects the toe of the boot without
projecting far over the toe. In the
back there is a fraction of a heel which
is hardly noticeable. The rubber stays
on we'll and is more comfortable than
the old style with a back strap.-New

White Satin and Paint.

What think you OF the dainty chain
bag hooked TO the waist belt of our
young lady? 1t is of white satin, with
g single line of gilt paillettes over
tapping like fish scales and serving to
outline a hand-painted scene. a group
under the D%irectoire, by the we'll
known costumes of that period. This
adorns one side Of the pretty bag, the
reverse side is absolutely plain, and no
paillettes are allowed here, as they
would injure the skirt against which
they lie. A rather fine gilded chain is
used to suspend this bag from its chate-
laine hook.

No Plain Skirt

Society for the most part has set lis
stamp Of approval on the very full
skirts, but only when they are voted
becoming to the wearer's figure. Every
now and again q skirt will be seen
to cling to the figure halfway down
to the knees, whence it fares in q
most conventional and up-to-date man
ner. No really plain skirts are seen
at the opera, unless the material is
chiffon velvet. and even the monotory
of this exquisite texture is relieved by
panels OF rare lace.
