FOR TELLING EFFECTS
HOW THE UP-TO-DATE GIRL USES
BUCKLES AND BOWS.
To Give a Touch of 1905 to Costume
Carried Over From
1904.
Written for The Star

Written fer The Star.
Next to the ubiquitous button, bows and
buckets offer a greater variety of treat
ment in miladis winter wardrobe than
any other form of trimming. Bows especi-
ally, make for that very essential quality
this season coquettishness. and, in combi-
nation with buckles, they appear on every
thing from shoes to hats.
In the millinery world bows are the
good fairies which fill in all ungainly
spaces left by tilted and dented brims,
while buckles lend the brilliant military
touch that gives hat smartness and dash.
One of the most popular walking hats
of the winter is a short-brimmed circular
felt, pinned fatty over at the right of the
front by a huge square buckle of plated
silver or gilt. holding two pert quilts.
clerical velvet bow on the opposite side of
the crown is the only other trimming.
On the dress hat large buckles in cloth
or velvet or jet and small buckles built
OF rhinestones, steel Furnished metal,
serve to fasten the inevitable plume in
position. A stunning instance Of this
shows a sweeping feather of delicate hue
rising at the front of a very high crown
from a three-inch buckle of amber tor
tose shell.
Supplementing this favorite buckle ana
plume trimming, a spreading bow OF pl2s

LIVING IN VENICE.
A Comparison Between Prices Here
and Abroad.

From the Pilgrim.
The general impression Is that life in the
United States costs more than elsewhere.
Speaking generally, you could say that rent
in the city for good apartments costs less
in Europe. Service also costs less, while
light and fuel cost much more. The cost
of food in Venice and in other parts of
Italy as compared with the cost of food
with us may be summed up as follows:
What with us are luXuries are cheaper in
Italy, what with us are necessities are
dearer. Fillets of beef, the best cuts of
roasts, sweetbreads. game, etc, are all
cheaper, the poorer cuts of meat are dear
er. The best chops. for instance, are Is
cents a pound. and the cheapest stew meat
of mutton II or 13 cents. Nor do these
figures tell the whole story, for the meat is
trimmed very much closer, to the advan-
tage of the buyer of the finer cuts.
The prices of fish vary more than with
us, and are much more fiuctuating than
meat. The poorer Venetians, of course, are
able to buy fish at a price much below that
which the foreigner must pay. AS far as
our experience went, only the very best
poultry is procurable in Venice; the tough
and venerable rooster never appears in the
market and the fowls are all dry-picked,
and never kept on ice. This poultry costs
8 or cents less a pound than poultry of
the corresponding grade at home But
there are no cheap meats, such as corned
beef, or spare-ribs, or pigs heads-dear to
the poor housekeeper of New York or New
England. The consequence is that the
poorer Venetian rarely eats meat at all.
Neither does he buy refined salt; the tax
of the government is so high that he con-
tents himself with rock salt. Flour is
dearer. SO are cornmeal, coffee and tea,
while sugar costs l6 cents a pound The
fruit supply in Italy is superb, but the
making of preserves, either by housekeep-
ers or factories, Is rare on account of the
absurdly high price Of sugar. Butter is 30
cents a pound On the other hand. fruit
and vegetables are cheap. There are in
the market a great variety of dried peas.
beans and lent1s. which are nutritious, and
. which, You may be sure the Venetian
knows how to use. In spite of the greater
cost of so many foods in Venice you can
set as good a table there you would at
home for smaller sum, and that you are
able to do so is because of the economical
hand to mouth way of marketing, the eco
nomieal ha bits of your italian cook, and
also that the average cook in the north of
Italy Is far better cook than the average
cook at home.
As to the other items In our budget: Ma
ria immaculate is well paid in Venice with
IS month. You can get man cook for
$40 and an inside man for Sc. Venetian
families frequently pay their gondoiiers
only so cents a day without food: an ex-
cellent seamstress may be had for 80 cents
a day and her meals.

formation on the way to make up clothes
that girl cannot help but find something
to suit her at her price IL she will take
the time 10 hunt for 1t.
One Color Scheme.
The one color scheme has proven to be
most practical, and If girl has iler coats
and suits In color that becomes her she
will never have any worry about beins
improperly gowned. An authority on this
subject says a woman should wear the coioi
OF her hair In the day time and the color
OF her eyes at night. THIS rule holds true
pretty generally and brings out the best
points In girls beauty.
Gloves and shoes are important items IN
trim appearance. Shoes, particularly, oe-
mand daily attention. and a girl should
have her own polishing rag to wipe them
off every night. Gloves must be fitted even
ly on the hand and not worn until they are
black with dust and persoiratlon. Sole.
light glove are an objectionable o1enss
for the girl who respects her appearance.
A last word about keeping all stray ends
carefully tucked In, collars squarely Joined
and belts neatly fastened down. The fancy
stock pin has done away w. any excuse S
for discrepancies of this kind and they are
SO inexpensive that common pins are not
essential and should never be used to keep
outer garments in place.

velvet or of silk mousseline serves to adorn
the hair at the back or side. When built
in velvet this bow usually consists OF tour
long, pointed loops, with blade shaped ends
that fall well down on the ccIhure ana

an invaluable substitute If the hair Is I'M

A Clerical Bow.
To set off shining locks when they are
not crowned by chic hats. there comes
a clerical bow of black velvet ribbon with
rhinestone or jeweled buckle covering the
knot. Four moderately long loops an inch
and half in width spread out on either
side of the buckle, which is placed directly
over a central part In the hair, and the
whole ornament rests like 0iadem on the
head, the loops being held in shape by mil
liners wire. and each curving gracefully
half way to the back of the head. Another
bow in taffeta ribbon is suited for wear
with a pompadour. Two long loops of the
ribbon are rounded out very full and made
to stand slantwise by wiring Holding the
ends of these well as the ends of two
short loops that perch lightly on the hair
is full knot of The ribbon and a cut steel
buckle.
No less fetching is the use of bows and
buckles on fancy reckwear. A stock OF
Valenciennes lace medallions appliqued on
finely tucked mousseiine is held together
by three or four narrow bands of gold
braid fastened in loops by tiny gilt buckles.
At the lower edge of the collar, a narrow
cape of medallions has each lace motif
joined by bands and loops of gold braid
Other neck coverings show simply line
of tiny black or selftone velvet bows trim

and reaching to the bust line. For wear

bows, with or without oval. buckles, con-
cear the fastening and serve in place of

On the Trolley Car.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune,
A group of traffic managers and auditors
at the convention of street railway men In
Philadelphia were telling stories of street
railroading. Irwin Fuller of Detroit said:
"a pretty Irish girl. fresh from the old
country, sat in a trolley car looking at the
strange American country with modest in
terest.
''She had soft gray eyes. a face like roses
and lilies beautiful hair and white teeth.

In too many American homes boys
are growing up, not having q proper
regard for labor. We are not going
to place the blame, but We suspect the
parents. They have not made the
boy dc his duty around the home.
They have felt that every hour he is
out Of school he ought to devote to
play. Play is good thing, and there
must be some of it in every young
life. But it is better for the boy
that he be made to discharge his
duties and do his errands. It would
be surprising to know how many peo-
pie in moderate circumstances hire
men to NOW their lawns with healthy,
strong boys about the premises doing
nothing.

this country with Japan has been in
significant when compared with that

Must Stay out for -Four Years.

Columbia, July 19.-The point has
been raised aB to how long the coun-
ties that vote out dispensaries will re-
main "dry" in legal way when the
dispensary is voted out.
1t appears that the law is that if an
election is held to vote out the dispen-
sary and fails it cannot be tried again
for four years, and the dispensary re-
mains for four years. The counter
proposition also holds. If an election
is held, and the dispensary is voted
out of q county it cannot be voted back
into the county for four years, in fact,
no election can be held
There may, however, be a change in
tho statute law, but under the Brice
bill as it now stands an election every
four years is all that can be held.

The dispenssry investigation COM
mittee met in Columbia few days

the appropriation Of $4,000 has been
spent, but the committee has much
more to do before ite work is COM
pleted. 1t is not at all likely that the
Investigation will cease on that ao-
count, for the members will borrow
the necessary money and trust to the
Legislature to refund. The commit
tee has secured much evidence in
secret, it is said, but when the time
is ripe it is proposed to confront'the
accused men, wherever they may be,
with the evidence ana allow them q

pay, with the City Engineer in charge
OF the whole business, and the Chair
man Of the Street Committee in charge
of the City Engineer. The whole bust
ness seems to be in q muddle and no.

thing. Where there are so many boss
cs, nobody is boss. One Street Super

vets to work aud not beat time, while
