4 NOVEL WORK.
Women Trained to Fight Fires in
England.

A novel work for women, which, SO
far, doesn't seem to have travelled far
out of England (where 1t originated, is
the training to learn to fight fires.
So firmly Is it believed in IN England
that there is even q school established
for this training. which Is actually
men And besides the school devoted
to this work, several of the large col
Ieges for women have departments. or
rather brigades, whose members are rig
idly drilled, and who have figured In
many dramatic fires
The usefulness of the training has
been especially apparent with members
of hospital stats, and, most of all, with
those attendants who are on duty In in
sane wards Many panics have been
averted which could not have been II
they had not been drilled to perfect con-
troll.
Part of the attendants are trained to
run Immediately to the part of the house
a fire, the others to circulate among
the patients at once, in such q way as
to allay their excitement and have them
ready to march out in safety If the fire
should prove serious. In the drilling the
attendants take turns at 'queiling the
fire and quelling the patients" as one
girl put it, so that all of them are ready
for any part they may be called TO do.
In the hospitals, too. wherever these
trained women are. the danger to pa
TENTS and to buildings by fire is mini
mixed by the knowledge Of exactly what
TO do
The course is thorough, including al
the branches Of life and property saw
ing and of escape.

DRESSES OF A PRINCESS.
They Are Net So Gorgeous as You
Might Suppose.

To belong to a royal family does not
always mean that the children can wear
silks and jewels and laces every day Of
their lives. The frugality exercised in
the German imperial family is well Illus
trated by an incident related by writer
in Everybody's Magazine
The empress, with two of her court
ladies. was sitting on n terrace in the
Park of Sans Souci at PotSdam Palace,
when another lady of the court, a count
ess, approached. The countess was &C
companied by her little girl and the en-
press called 10 her own little daughter,
the Princess Victoria, who was playing
down below, to come up and make this
child acquaintance. A few minutes
later the empress felt somebody Juggling

Girls Who Don't Care.

But that's a trait that was thoroughly
grated In human nature long before our
time
How often you hear person say.
We'll, If they want me they'll have to
take me as [ am. I'm not going to
change for anybody
The result Is that this kind of person
is usually let alone, and then he thinks
he is misunderstood and that the fault
lies with his friends,
There is not a man, woman or child
who does not want to be popular. but
there are a great many who won't take
the slightest trouble TO make themselves
so.

You can't get something for nothing.

EVENING WRAPS OF DIFFERENT
KINDS FOR THEATER OR BALL
Chiffon Exclusively for Dancing Parties, Heavy
Silk for General Wear.

Evening wraps do not change mate
rally in style and cut from year 10
year, and a cloak made in one season
after the latest models will, if neces-
sary, always do service for the following
winter Just at present the most elah-
crate coats-ipedels which two and three
months ago were far beyond the reach
OF Enany-ean be had at ridiculously low
figures, considering not only the original
prices, but the excellent and exquisite
workmanship employed in their con-
struction.
Just what style Of wrap is to be Sc
Iected depends absolutely upon what
sort of usage it is to have. If there are
a theater cloak, a dinner cloak, and an
opera wrap, this other wrap. essentially
fer the ball. may be of chiffon, which is
decidedly fashionable, but also very per-
ishable. But when one garment has to
do service for many occasions, then
there is no question that cloth, or, at
any rate. heavy silk, is best.
Wonderful bargains in squirrel-1ined
coats are still displayed everywhere.
and, indeed, the market has been wei
supplied with these fur-lined wraps. 1t
has been rather amusing TO watch the
very sure. if slow, reduction of all these
coats Early in the winter they began
TO appear IN all possible colors, shapes,
and qualities of cloth, and very rapidly
all the medium sizes were sold. Dealers,
however, had no intention apparently of
having any of these coats left on their
hands as with each week, if the wrap
did not happen TO be sold in the mean
while the piacard was changed some s.
TO s.. Now coats originally $50 can be
had for half the price, while the less
expensive ones, if any are left, have
been literally forced upon many an I'M
willing customer simply by the fascinat-
ing and irresistibly low price The Tea-
son for all this is simnIe-when squirrel
fur became SO very popular, some TWO
or three years past, only the darker part
OF the skin 0he back and taiD Were
used and this left on tbS market myr-
lads of soft. white skin&the stomach of
the animaD. with just touch of gray
IL show that it really was squirrel. This
part was Just as warm as any other. so
that this use was finally evolved. When
such quantity is bought, or, rather.
made up, the cloth is but a small item.
so that even now, when the coats are
selling 81 less than half the original
figure, there is no question of loss to
the dealer. This explains why so many
who never dream of being able to pur-
chase offhand fur garment of any
kind now revei in these deliciousiy
warm wraps.
The color depends upon whether the
cloak Is for really smart wear or more
for warmth and general usage. The
white coats are extremely pretty and
always attractive in the evening. Gray
is an excellent color. for Ii always seems
appropriate on occasions when either a
light or a dark shade should be worn.
