Feminine Economy

When a man buys an expensive hat
and wears it out that is the end of the
story A woman's hat, though, is
serial which runs indefinitely. The
pretty plumes which graced last year S
creation as white appear on one OF
this seasons of another hue and will
run the gamut of colors until they
reach black. The flowers, the ribbons,
the laces, the velvet, even the gossa-
mer shapes, do service again under
expert manipulation. Take, too, those
monster sleeves over which mere men
guffawed so loudly. When the fad for
them was over their fair wearers just
took the surplus material and made
extra waists of it. That is not all.
With an art which savors of the mys-
terious they took those flowing sleeves
of the fashion of year or SO ago
and, turning them upside down, made
them into the prevailing mode.

Risks in Railway Journeys

The idea that man who goes on
a railway journey takes his life in his
hand and is rather more likely not to
meet with an untimely death at the
first curve the train negotiates is
scarcely borne out by the fact that
the chances against any one passenger
meeting his death on the railway are
Sc million to l. This immunity from
disaster reflects considerable credit
upon the companies, but still more
upon engine drives and signal men,
whose skill and care are the main fac
tors in the safety of the passenger

The latest belt idea for linen gowns
is one made of Scotch plaid, the col
ors so skilfully crossed and combined
that there is no tendency to make
the waist look large
Huge ruffles of plated tulle are
worn in place of the fiat stoles of chif-
fon. They add considerable smart
ness to all gowns, giving most be-
coming and dainty finish to the throat
Brown and green-brown even
more than green-promise to be the
leading colors for fall, bo,h of them
plain or combining mysteriou3ly with
other colors in the sort of underplaids,
which remain hidden except under
strong light, or when a curious strap
ping brings them out.
Stripes are being revived, not only
for the creation of gowns, but also for
trimming purposes, such as the Dor
dering of skirts. The striped fabric
is also introduced into the bodice
Striped gauze is very fashionable, and
another old world fabric, known as
barege, is making its temperance.
Pouched bodices are seldom seen
now. This is probably due to the
close-ftting belts which are in such
great favor. All bodices are made
tight and trim. The cross-oyer bodice
retains the popularity it gained last
year, the only marked difference be-
ing in the deep belt, which invariably
accompanies it.
The petticoat much frilled at the
foot continues to rejoice in it's pop
ularity. The frills act as support
to the fashionable skirt, which is
| rather apt to cling unless the fullness
is kept out by the much befrilled pet
ticoat In addition to silk, very smart
| underskirts are to be had in alpaca,

Fruit and flowers are distinctive
features of millinery. Some hats are
covered with punches of grapes in

OF the sweet pea find a natural pale

has demonstrated the fact that gen.
tlewoman may go outside of the beat
en- lines and be successful as a bust
ness woman, her work being in the
management and ownership of large

Ever since the New York Associa-
ton for the Blind was organized, last
March, Mrs. Beck, who lost her sight
twenty-four years ago, has been one
of the busiest women in that city.
From early morning until evening she
journeys around hunting up poor wom-
en- who, like herself, became blind
after school days were over, and
teaching them various methods of
earning their living.

To keep the neighbors hens from:
scratching up your flowers, spread on

The best way to keep violets fresh
is not to put them in water, but to
throw over them handkerchief thor
oughly wet, and set them in daught.
The best thing for cleaning pencil
erasers is a piece of old plaster. Keep
small piece always handy and when
the rubber gets soiled rub on the
plaster makes it as clean as when
new.
To keep iron sinks and iron kettles
smooth and free from rust, never use
soap in cleaning them. Wash them in
the water in which potatoes have been
boiled, using a well boiled potato to
rub any spot which may have become
rough, or rusted, afterwards rinsing
clean, with very hot clear water By
cleaning in this way, they will always
be smooth and free from rust.
An excellent cleaner for guitars, vic

Edwards, charged with ~manslaughter
in connection with the death of Miss
Anna Grosh, was released from the
county Jail, his bond in the amount
of $4,000 being signed by A. U. Damn.
A few hours later Somers Grosh,

kill Edwards by shooting. Edwards
was on his way to the train when he
was met by Grosh, who pulled a re-
volver and took a shot at Edwards.
The shot hit him on the left side, but
IN account of a heavy overcoat the
ball did not penetrate his clothing.
He was knocked down by the force or
the bullet, but otherwise was unhurt.
Bystanders interfering was the only
thing that saved Edwards life. Grosh
vas arrested by the sheriff and taken
to the county Jail, while Edwards was
taken to the city Jail for safe keeping
until the time for his train to leave.
