A Feminine sin.

When women wear clothes that fasten
In the back and can't afford a maid to put
them together, they had better take look
In a mirror before starting out" said the
fastidious woman in a tone which plainly
indicated that she had much more to say
on the same subject II have just come
from a promenade and 1 saw enough care
less dressing to make one first weep and
then wax indignant
mo smart French woman would be guilty
Of such carelessness. One woman who wore
waist buttoning up the back had omitted
two Of the buttons; another haG buttoned
one into the wrong hole.
"A third woman had allowed her belt to
slip up and show her skirt binding, and a
fourth had forgotten to fasten her placket
together, and all the nice little invisible
fasteners were in full view mutely crying
TO be put right.
THE worst example of all wore beauti-
full hand embroidered waist fastened in the
back, smart new belt with a pointed and
buckled back and a tailored skirt which
came together with two pleats in the back.
II these had all met, as they should and
preserved an unbroken line, the effect
would have been smart and trim. but each
hit her at a different point. spoiled her
shape and proclaimed her for a careless
dresser"

Women are prone to underestimate the
terrors of this homicldal strife" says the
Baltimore Herald. "They look upon a man
in business, for instance, as a being who
achieves large profits from small exertions
and entirely escapes the dull Flooding
routine of housekeeping and children-rear-
ing that they must face AS a matter OF
fact. the average man, whether he be a
bank president or a day laborer, spends
nine-tenths of his time performing drudgery
of the most depressing sort. 1t is a rare
moment when he is not compelled to do
something that he doesn't want to do. It
is a moment rarer still when he does not
find himself in conflict with the aims or
ambitions of some other man."

ideas which may be easily carried out in
suitable fabrics.
OF course. the drawing-room windows are
not subjects for individual EFFORT. The style
for these is set by tradition. The various
Appropriate periods for drawing rooms
have strictly set limitations and niceties OF
arrangements at the command Of the In

go without being BIZARRE eccentric, i'm
possible. Good taste and good decoration
go together.
These structures, placed on the formal
or period window, do not apply to the
modern room. where free play to individ-
uality is admissible, provided It is with
in the limits of appropriateness and util-
ity. The family living room, thoSe rooms
not decorated in period STYLE the informal
bed chambers OF the house-these give
considerable freedom In the methods of
arranging curtains and draperies.

All the arrangements which are suggested
in this article may be further fitted with an
opaque shade, mounted on rollers, placed
next to the various types of draw and glass
curtains illustrated and between them and
the room draperies. This addition permits
of better variation I'm the amount of light
admitted and in the case of shaded win
dows the lambrequin will hide the roller
shade during the daytime.
The practice, which almost amounts to a
rule. that the roller shade should never be
run higher than the center of the window
opening, is rendered unnecessary I'm these
Instances, as the outside of the window is
already dressed by the glass curtains,
which were designed for the purpose of
giving finish to window decorations when
seen from the outside of the house.
The cutting of draperies is an art of
much greater difficulty than would seem to
the casual observer, as unskillfully cut
hangings cannot be made to drape grace
fully or to remain in the proper positions
once they are placed in stu. All work of
this character should be done by skilled

The gathered valance. Ia an old favor
lite, when used with a plaque shelf, which
is possibly curved, eight inches wide at
the center and three inches wide at each
end. Side curtains and valance are made
Of the same materials. Such a valance as
we show is especially appropriate with
the hinged colonial window. This ar
rangement is completed by an innova-
ton in the shape of ruffled, fat-hungl
curtains of white Swiss muslin. The side
curtains are red-hung, and may be drawn
together to serve the purpose of blind.
Where a bedroom is fitted with large
windows, the valance is usually too near
the ceiling to permit its use as shelf,
to hold pottery or plaques, and the side
curtains may be brought down to the floor
as illustrated. The window surface may be
covered dainty by three sets of figured
Swiss draw curtains, hung on two or three
brass rods attached to the window sash
and easement, the lower rod being attached
to the sash, and the others to be immov-
able. Cretonne OF other figured fabrics
may be used as the over-draperies in this
window, and the arrangement looks espe-
cially well when unpatterned papers are
used

Hard Problem for the Judge.

Judge Burlington of the United States
district court at Pittsburg, Pa, is con-
fronted with a case which makes him
blush. Whether a young, healthy and
handsome woman can carry $1,747, almost
half of it in gold and silver, around for
almost five years in her stocking is the
question at issue.
Mrs Dora Hirsovitz is the young and
pretty widow who claims this stocking ca
pacity. She is stepslster of the wife of
Joseph Nathan. Joseph used to deal in
clothing in the village Of Sharon, Pa, but
went into the hands of a receiver, George
sapper by name, and 1t was the receivers
attorney, Charles Sachs, who had the
temerity to raise the issue and fearlessly
introduced the question of a stockings ca
pacity into what would otherwise have been
a very humdrum case.
Creditors Of Nathan, who filed a petition
alleging him to be a bankrupt, have ns-
serted that after he knew himself to be
insolvent he disposed of his stock to Mrs.
Hirsovitz.
When the petition was fled there were
hints of collision. and Attorney Sachs was
telling the court some of the evidence he
got from Mrs. Hirsovitz when he asked
her about how she happened last August
had died. to go to Sharon and purchase
the store from Nathan. Sachs said:
"She told me that she had written to her
brother, Mr.. Lascovitz, in Sharon, to ask
II he knew OF a business she might get
hold of, and it was in this way that she
happened to go to Sharon. She said she
had the money before her husband died.
and she also said she had II left to her
by him. I asked her to explain this, and
she said that when he died she knew what
he had was hers.
"She told me that she paid S1,7F sor the
store; that she counted out the money at
the time OF the purchase, and that It was
all in cash-$1, 900 in bills and $747 in gold
and silver coin. She said she took II all
out of her stocking. While 1 cannot claim
to be an expert in such matters this state
ment in itself seems unreasonable; but
of course. 1 don't know just how much
cash such receptacle will carry.
You take $40 in gold-a double eagle
and it will weigh an ounce Now, $40 WILL
at that rate providing the money is all
in gold, excepting the 81, be thirty-seven
ounces. which is over three pounds to start
with. II the 81 was in silver it would make
about three and one-half pounds of coin
altogether, besides the bills 1t looks far
fetched"
And with that Mr.. Sachs looked triumph
antly at the court. But his honor is re-
sourceful. He did not propose to be en-
trapped so easily into compromising him.
self and his long record for judicial
acumen by any hasty answer so he said
Maybe she had it in separate stocking.
Maybe she did not carry it with her"
mo. sir; she told me she carried II in
the same stocking with her-that is the
same stocking that she wore,' replied the
attorney, "and told me, too, that she car
ried It that way all the five years that she
had had it. I suggested that the stocking
must have worn out often and she said
they did wear out, but she bought pretty
strong ones"
The judge was silent. He was very busy
holding his peace. But he took the papers,
while the pretty widow blushed and looked
down at her feet
