These soft materials lend them
selves very successfully to the new
fashion. The new trend of fashion is
toward the long, supple. flowing folds.
consequently silk as we have known it,
is no longer in vogue, but its place is
taken by "Radium," a silk material
that is at once brilliant, soft and
strong. 1t can be had plain, glace,
printed, striped, spotted, covered with
small designs, either noticeable or al

admired last year, will still be worn,

Fashion Notes.

The popularity of gray, so marked
in every sort of costume, has held
chinchilla which threatened to go out,
firmly in favor.
Girls from IA to II or IS wear some
very handsome suits of velvet rather
elaborately but tastefully trimmed
with lace and colored silk embroidery.
While many of the comparatively in
expensive machine-made waists are
beautifully designed, they usually
leave much to be desired in the max
ing.
A beautiful evening cloak (empire
of course) is made Of white broadcloth
with the eyelet embroidery. The
shoulders are shirred, and the lining is
brocade.

! itely different from skirt or suit. They

The new sleeves grow more fetch

just two puffs to the elbow, the full

little perpendicular tucks.

Tyranny of Bachelors.

There is, however, one article OF

What leads to the emission OF more

yet into it's interstices delicate little
studs and sleeve links have to be In
troduced before the luckless wight

self In jewels and in lustrous raj

For the Breakfast Room.

No breakfast room is so cozy as the
one which contains a we'll appointed
and well-stocked desk in the sunniest
window ready to turn to for the imme-
diate answering of the mail which has
been perused at breakfast. English
women who understand the art of let
ter and note writing better than any
women in the world, following this
plan, and have certain other customs
which come under the class of letter
writing made easy.
Letter paper is bought by the guam
tity, stamps are bought by the hun
dred, and pens by the gross, any OF
which outlay would be considered an
unheard-of extravaganza by the ordin-
airy American woman, who buys her
writing materials in driblets that are
small and stingy as compared with her
lavish expenditures In other direc-
tions.-Chicago Tribune.

Housekeeping for Two.

To keep house for two people is,
to use the words of a woman who
provides for six, nothing but play"
doll Housekeeping" is what another
heavily burdensd housewife calls it.
Certainly the woman who has only one
person besides herself to cater for can
not call 1t drudgery. The main Difficult
ty she experiences is in dividing cook
book receipts and in cutting down
provisions so that there shall be no
surplus to go to waste. 1t is not only
difficult to buy food in quantities small
enough for meal for two people, but
1t is very expensive. For instance, a
jar of orange marmalade just big
enough for two is 10 cents, and one
three and one-half times as large and
containing enough for several meals is
only Is cents.
How to use up left-overs is a prob
lem that must confront the caterer for
two persons. When purchasing meat
it is a good plan TO get enough for
two meals. Then the table will not
look bare and there will be sufficient
quantity for second meal. Cooking
experts disagree as to the amount Of
meat needed in such case, one writ
er declaring that one pound is enough
and another two pounds. OF course
this depends entirely on the number
of dishes served with the meat.
For two women a pound and quar-
ar or a pound and half of porter
house steak has been found sufficient
for two meals. The meat was served
as a steak for dinner the first day, and
the tough end, which is always a part
of this cut, was made into croquettes,
or German beef cakes, the next day.
This supply might be more than
enough IL several vegetables were
served with it, but 1t was barely
enough when only two vegetables and

What Flirtinq Costs.

The girl who is flirting with half a
dozen men has not the time to give
any one man the chance to know her,
and she is, therefore, losing her op-
portunity of getting good husband.
While she is flirting here, there, and
everywhere with her numerous admir-
ers, the home girl is making herself
attractive and Indispensable to one
man.
He sees how sweet she is in her
home life, how he, parents and little
brothers and sisters love and rely
upon her and the next step is that
he imagines her in his home, the
mother of his children.
After that he is not long in making
up his mind that she is the "one" wo-
man.

Norway's King as Naval MILDLY.

1t was my fortune to make the
princes acquaintance when he was an
apprentice in the Danish navy | was
a midshipman at the time, and just
one notch higher rank. We were
thrown a good deal together on vari-
GUS ships, and | believe it is this
rough -and-ready training in seaman
ship at an early age which contributed
strongly toward making man out of
the prince, who as boy was very
much like what middies call piece
of court furniture"
There were seven apprentices in the
mess to which the prince belonged on
shipboard, and of which | am The
eighth and mess master We all called
him by his first name-that is. Karl in
Danish-and he had to eat the same
grub" and stand the same hardship
as all the other apprentices. He was
allowed to have no advantages or
"extras" over and above his comrades,
and, although everybody knew him
to be a prince of the realm, no defer
oiiIt NndltNtl was Dtiu MN uo Su' II.
On the contrary he was "hazed" and
made miserable in good, old midship-
man style. lie took his medicine
bravely enough, though there were
times when, by his looks, he must
have wished for "home and mother"
or that he was ashore, where he, as a
prince of the realm, would have a
right to command salute from any
man and any officer in the fleet.
On board ship he had to mend his
own clothes, darn his socks, sew on
buttons, and keep his weapons and ac
coutrements in order. He slept in a
regulation sailor hammock, with his
clothes rolled up under his head for
pillow without nightshirt, and
wearing only sailors wColen striped
undershirt, and bundled up in wool
en- blanket, sometimes with his sea-
boots dangling by the hammock rope.
AS an apprentice. one of his duties
in cleaning ship early at dawn was to
pass buckets of salt water and go over
the quarter deck with sage broom.
When polishing would begin he was
assigned to the big pinnacle lantern on
the bridge, inside which the COM
pass is. He became quite an expert
at polishing, and used to make that
brass pinnacle flash like silver mail.
He could never quite get used to chew
ing tobacco, which in the eyes of every
true apprentice is one of the cardinal
virtues and whenever he was sea-
sick, which often happened, he used
to sit in the gangway on a bucket
and chew rye bread.
This close intimacy with boys of his
own age, and subsequently when he
was appointed midshipman and cadet,
his contact with manly naval men and
real human conditions of life, are the
factors which eventually made out of
this boy-who was originally little
more than a court kid"-one of the
most real and natural of living royal
princes. 1t opened his eyes to the
forces and exigencies that govern real
life. 1t substituted within him for the
lassitude of the courtier the ambition
of the healthy young man of action
