material is white Persian lawn, the
collar and cuffs being of linen but the
model is adapted to all waistings that
can be made full with good effect.
The waist consists of the fitted lining,
which can be used or omitted as ma

When Lord Roberts Nodded.

Lord Roberts is not generally ad.
dicted to historical inaccuracies, and
it is therefore surprising to find him
asserting that in the days of the
Brown Bess" musketry was little
thought of, and dependence placed
only upon bayonets. Frederick the
Great and Napoleon were both enthu-
siastic in their efforts to promote
fire effect, and the excellence of the
musketry practice of the British army
in the Deninsular war is the cause to
which the best-informed French writ.
ers chiefly ascribe our victories in
Spain and Portugal. Lord Seaton, the
famous Sir John Colborne of Light
Division and Waterloo renown, wrote:
Assaults are not to be won by bay
onets and forlorn hopes without aG ad-
equate fire on the defenses." 1t is,
indeed, doubtful whether at any period
the musketry training and fire tactics
of the British army were so carefully
and successfully attended to as dur.
ing the Napoleonic wars. Those were
days of deeds; now we rely chiefly up
on words, talking and writing much,
with the best intentions, but actually
accomplishing very little.-London

Made Over Batteries.

Dry batteries used for ringing door

Fashion Hints.

A very handsome ornament for the
winter hat is bunch of ofhorse-chestnut
leaves and horse-chestnuts made of
velvet.
Rose wreaths are popular for even
ing wear in the hair, beautifully or
namented with crystal drops that look
like dew.
Face wells are always popular in
Paris, but the highly colored ones have
been abandoned for the black or the
black and white dotted ones.
Exquisite rose-strewn organdies are
in evidence for girlish evening frocks.
In some the roses are nothing but tiny
prim buds, in others great nodding
heads.
The pale blue sometimes shows re-
lief in a touch of p'.-s-green velvet
a very "Frenchy" combination when
the right materials and right shades
of color are combined.
There are few women, no matter
what their complexion may be, who
cannot appear to advantage in some
one of the various shades of red now
considered the smartest thing.
Pale blue ball gowns are always
great favorites with the debutante,
and they vary the perpetual white in
which the buds are conventionally ap-
pointed to make their first bow to
society.
The curious old fashion of wearing
shell flowers in the hair that used to
prevail so years ago is being revived
in a modified form by the use of roses
made of mother-of-pearl and colored
Jewels, mounted upon gauze, which
here and there is allowed to show
through the paillettes.
A debutante's. dancing gown is of
pale blue moire chiffon, made on a

duchess lace encircles the skirt. and

A woman's club the other day de.
bated the question whether married
women should pay their bills. Strange
to say, most of the good ladies pres.
ent were disposed to think that they
should not. Even where a woman has
no property or earnings of her own to
dispose of, it should be a matter Of
pride with her to pay the debts she
incurs in her own person, continues
the New York Evening World To
run up accounts at random, leaving
1t to some one else to Suite them
when due, Is one of the sursst ways
to cultivate eXtravagant habits. Thrift
is an ornament in every housewife,
and the housewife, in spite of all our
modern improvements, is the best
type OF womanhood the world knows.
AS matter of fact, the average wom
an is a shrewder buyer than the aver
age man within her sphere Of expert
ence. She knows when she gets her
moneys worth, and she insists upon
having it, Even where she has not
learned the value Of money by earn
ing it outside the home, she often
can teach her helpmate how 1t ia
best spent. At any rate, nothing Is
more certain than that without re-
sponsibility she will never learn. The
man who relieves his wife of this rou-
tine responsibility mas no just reason
for complaining ii her bills are so
heavy as to embarrass him.-Evening
