COLLEGE OUTFITS.

As for underclothing. it should be
new and the best quality, but plain.
A girl with all the novelty of college
life upon her will have little time to

severe laundry treatment. 1t should
be plain, as in most college laundries

The ToyIand of the World.

A Toxic correspondent of an Amer
lean weekly has much of interest to
say of Japanese toys. Japan is the
original toyland. I really think that
Santa Claus must have a branch es-
tablishment in Toxic. There are me-
chanical toys that go about as If they
were alive-tin turtles walking
around on the earthen floor, mice
scampering under counters and
around on the shelves, huge gor-
geously colored paper butterflies and
dragon flies buzzing around in the air.
There are no toy-carriages in Japan.
because in Japan there are no real
carriages. But there are toy jinriki-
shas, which are little two-wheeled
carts pulled by little brown men I'M
der great big mushroom-shaped hats
instead of by horses. And there are
toy Cages. which are the oldest kind
of grown-up cradles, that two men
carry, suspended from long bamboo
poles, upon their shoulders. and in
which grown-up folks have to sit,
curled up Turk-fashion, until their
feet go to sleep and they are forced
to demand the privilege of getting
down and walking. These are the
carriages of Japan. and. as toys,
would probably puzzle the average lit

ARTISTIC LAMPS.

Lamps of quite different character
and almost as beautiful. even better
adapted to certain surroundings, are
those of Damascus brass. These are
entirely Oriental in character, but
the variety in shape and form makes
them possible for every place.. There
are reading lamps. tall standard
lamps, and candles. hanging shades
and globes for electric lights. side
lights and droplights many are al
most invariably of damascened brass,
covered with quaint figures of war
riors with bow and arrows, hunters
with their dogs. sail-boats, and in
scriptions, all doubtless full of deep
meaning and telling interesting stories
if one could but read. The shades
may be of the same, but those on the
oiI-lamps are more frequently of cut
brass lined with a colored silk which
of course colors and tones the light.
Bead fringes are invariably found
matching the silk in color. They may
be of yellow, green. red, orange, or
white. but the yellow and green are
particularly attractive. The yellow
and red are more becoming lights. as
the green is apt to make one appear
pallid. The Menares brass standards,
simpler and holder in design, are not
so expensive as the Damascus

Extensive Umbrella.

Fewer persons may carry umbrel-
las now than formerly" said James
T. Lucas of Baltimore at the Hotel
Baltimore, "but they are certainly
carrying more expensive ones" Mr..
Lucas is a travelling salesman for an
umbrella factory.
ut is hard to believe that person
would pay $1,000 for an umbrella, but
have had several orders of that
amount. We had one for Tiffany last
year. 1t seems difficult to figure
where the cost comes in. but 1T is all
in the handle, which is rich in
jewels. First we take an ivory tusk

CLEANING LEATHER.


The following directions are said
to be very good for cleaning and pol
ishing leather. Dip soft wooilen
cloth in boiling hot milk and wipe
the leather with this rubbing gently
until all the dirt is removed Then
wipe dry with a soft flannel, a piece
of flannel on which is spread tiny
piece of prepared wax. The wax
should be spread over the cloth as
thinly as possible. After the wax
ing, go over the leather with clean
soft flannel. rubbing briskly but not
too hard.
A recipe for this wax is as fol-
lows: Put two ounces of beeswaxr
cut in small bits into bowl. Place
the bowl in a pan of hot water on
the back of the range. When the
wax Is quite soft, beat into it CATER
taking it off the stove) quarter OF
cupful of turpentine and one tea
spoonful or half a teaspoonful OF
parafine Oil. 1t is ready for imme-
date use. If before you are ready
to use it the wax should get cold, set
it in a pan of hot water for few
moments. This is suitable for leath-
er that is used as a furniture cover
ing.

FASHION NOTES.


Silks will probably be somewhat
higher priced next season.
White serge is beautiful, but is
only Appropriate for strictly tailored
gowns.
1t is possible that the plated skirt
has seen it's best days, but in its stead
comes the full-shirred and gagged
skirt.
The number of yards of goods that
goes into a fashionabls skirt nova
days is appalling. The coming skirt
is wider than anything seen this sum-
mer.
dress length of white mohair Of
ferred at low price ought to be
snapped up. There is no doubt at
all of the enduring qualities of mo-
hair.
1t Is said that veilings will not be
worn after this fall. but this is hard
to believe.
A well-known fashion authority
urges women to avoid the mistake OF
accommodating too many gowns.
The average woman does well to
decide on a few colors, the most be-
coming, and stick to them.
White, the trade journals say, will
be more popular next year than 1t
has been this or Previous seasons.

Too Much Like Man Hunting.

A traveller writing from South At
RIGA describes a baboon hunt as fol-
lows: Very slowly we spread out
round about the base of the kop1e
and began a crawling ascent through
the thick scrub. Daylight found us
drawing near the higher spurs of the
kopje and the Kaffirs were busy beat
ing. Then the sport began. and pref
ty uncanny 1t was. My first kill gave
me a most uncomfortable thrill. 1t
was horribly like picking off a man.
The balloons were great big. human
looking brutes. quite capable of pick
ing up a lamb in their hands and rum

orally content themselves with rip

were the most horribly human thing
about them. and the gestures of

Scientific Fighting.

What is needed in military as well
as industrial warfare is science, said
Lord Roberts at a recent meeting Of
the London Chamber of Commerce.
Great Britain could not be successful
against an enemy of anything like
equal strength, because she has failed
to appreciate the value of modern
science in warfare.
Less attention should be paid" he
said, ito such trivial matters as the
shapes of headdresses or the cuts OF
jackets, and more given to the science
of actual fighting. The Japanese had
been successful because of their
scientific spirit, and 1t was becoming
palmer every day that intellectual eff.
cheney is a truer safeguard Of ma
ton than physical strength.

CRETS.
A woman can't keep a secret. At
least that's what the men say. Per
sonally, I think women are quite as
good, II not better, than men at keep
ing secrets.
There Is just one drawback in be-
ing able to keep secret, and that is
that you can't have The pleasure OF
telling 1t.
However, that is pleasure that we
can very well dispense with.
Babbled secrets, like curses, come
home to roost, and if you betray a
friends confidence you are sure to re-
gret it.
If you can't keep secret don't
listen to it.
Some girls think nothing of solemn
ly promising to never tell and
straig,htway proceed to "tell' the first
person they meet.
The best way to keep secret is to
forget it. Put it right out of your
mind and then there will be no temp
tation to tell it.
And be wise in the telling of your
own secrets.
Don't be carried away by the fact
that you have found sympathetic
listener, says the New York Press.
Wren you are tempted to conflde in
any one think it we'll over, wait I'M
til the next day and then see If you
ora ~ @1,no. no m ind
Sometimes we meet people to whom
we are at once drawn to tell our IN
most thoughts and opinions.
Without waiting to know anything
about them we want to tell them the
story of our lives.
Then Is the time we should walk
away and think it over.
For what do we know about them
excepting that they are sympathetic,
ready listeners?
They may, for all we know. be the
most irveberate gossipers.
1t all comes of our love of talking
about ourselves.
Because we can't resist the tempta-
ton of prating of our joys and woes,
we confide in comparative stranger.
If you can't keep secret don't for
one moment imagine that the person
to whom you tell 1t will be any more
likely to keep 1t than you are.
Don't confide in men. They are
quite as apt to let the cat out OF the
bag as women.
There is only one safe confidant
for a girl, and that is her mother.
Isn't is strange that a girl will tell
other girls things that she won't tell
her mother?
And yet her mother is the one per-
son on earth who will regard her con-
fidences as sacred.
There is one other point l would
like to impress on you. and that Is the
absolute Importance of not betraying
secrets overheard in your place Of
business.
The business of your employer
should be sacred to you.
He trusts you and you must not
abuse that trust.

Two Fingers for
His Life.
By JOHN K. COTTON.

One clustering night last February
l sat pressed in against the wall at
Capt. Sol McDaniels little shop.
Early in the evening, among the
crowd of regular callers, big, red
faced fellow, unquestionably New
foundlander, came in and greeted the
old captain warmly. He extended his
hand. 'I'll have to offer you my

We'd all hke'to hear"
Hendry needed a little urging, for
he was man not much given to talk
ing. But when the other visitors
warmly seconded the captains re-
quest, he consented to tell the story.
We all settled back on the hard
benches, and Hendry began:
I'VE left the harbor here this time
last year for Flemish Cap Bank. We
were after a trip of Goldfish and gray
halibut
"Our skipper, Sarge Bohlin. was

we met.

TAFFETA COATS.

Taffeta coats threaten to be all the
rage for the coming months, and their
shapes will be legion. The "embar.
rassment Of riches" in the selection
of styles from among multitudinous
shapes will be more wearisome than
the tiresomeness of a universal vogue.
With the taffeta is also shown a very
simple satin, which, it is said, may
prove dangerous rival to it for coat
use. Satin always, however, seems
old, and will probably take the army
OF fashionable coat wearer5 some
time to make up their minds to adopt
it in place of their old favorite. Be-
tween the silk redingote and the silk
bolero there is wide range of shapes
which are long, short, fitting, not fit
ting, of Louis XVI, of Directors in
SEPARATION or of distinctly md.ern in
ventive. and effects that are baftled,
embroidered, decked with buttons,
hung with cords or as plain as a mil
ler's coat.

PApER1NG THE CEILING.

Papering the ceiling is hard work,
and the amateur is not always sue

may be spoiled if one is not very pa
tient and cleanly about it. The pa
per is to be prepared as for the walls
with the exception Of the folding. Do
not try to handle long lengths; it is
best to paper across the width of the
room. Arrange q strong, easily
mounted platform across the room on
which to walk as you hang-or lay
the paper, having your head about
