NOTES ON FASHIONS.
and Lake Use of 1t on the New
Lingerie Blouse.

Tie taiior'S secret Of making a
bodice belt defy the sagg.ng effects OF
time and frequent wear is a very
simple one. Whether tic belt be
made at home or be purchased in
shop. the little finishing touch may be
applied with excellent results. Those
that are bought ready-made have
usually the whalebone in the back
sometimes there are even three, con-
verging to ..V'' at the waist line ana
widening at the top. There is also
one On either side in front, where the
belt fastens. These should be sup.
plemented by bone half way be-
tween the front and back, just where
the gathers begin to widen. But the
real stay that will make your belt
shapely throughout its lifetime is the
waistband-like that fastened inside
any ordinary bodice. This is fastened
to the belt just where those three
bones are placed in the back. 1t fits
snusly, bears the strain and saves the
soft silk or satin from the stretching
process certain to come in the course
of a few wearings.
Have any of the housewives old
fashioned crocheted tides which they
nave concealed in the dark recesses of
their closets? II so, now is the time
to bring them out, but for dress trim
ming. Fashion has set the seal of her
approval upon handmade lace, and
there is nothing more modish than
the pretty crocheted lace with which
every woman was wont to occupy her
spare time a few years ago. Women
folk were especially fond of making
tides of the little round wheels of
crocheted lace. .ow, while these
tides were hideous as ornaments for
chairs they are really lovely when
taken apart and set in dainty waists
as medallions. A tour of the shops
will show many beautiful lingerie
waists with yoke and other fancy eff
fects formed OF lace medallions. One
clever girl who found an old-fashioned
tidy in the attic brought 1t to light OF
day and after washing nd separating
the wheels put half a dozen on the
front of her new lingerie blouse. The
effect was charming and the girl is
now receiving congra :ulations on her
waist.-Chicago Daily News.

CASE FOR HUMANE SOCIETY
Horse Tied to Automobile Overcome

A Philadelphia real estate
broker purchased an automobile
last summer, and proceeded in

relates Harper's Magazine.
After a weeks, coaching unGcr

take Il spin into the country with
out his tutor. He decided to ride
slowly. And to insure against
helplessly stalling on Il lonely
road, he fastened the family horse
TO the rear of the auto. so that i;
could tow the machine home in
case of a breakdown.
The auto chucked along gently.

HE AVOIDED THE RUSH.
Hiranl's Conversion Led Hank to
Make Call in Good
Season.

Among those present at the reviva
meeting held at the village church tha
night was Hiram Bloodless. He had
been characterized in various tern.
Of consideration as the village Simon
Legree, the village Shylock and 9TH
names that expressed the fact that he
never paid his bills and was generally
unpopular. relates the Kansas City Star.
Among those who got religion on tha
night was Hiram Bloodless. Very early
after the general appeal for those who
were wicked to repent, Hiram tottered
to the front, fell on his knees and
shouted at the top of his voice: "I've
got it! I've got it,"
After the excitement of this extraor-
dinary conversion had died away there
was an appeal from the pulpit for testi-
monials on the part of the new con-
verts and Hiram was nothing loath to
tell just how he felt. He spoke of the
great calm in his soul. his sudden belief
in all the doctrines of the church, and
then in spirit of extreme humbleness
he turned to the audience and said:
Friends. have done much wrong in
my life. have injured many. have
been unjust to all of you. l want those
of you whom | have wronged to know
tonight that my life work will be 10
repay you twofold, threefold, yea, four
fold. From tonight l am a Christian
man."
Hiram sat down to the tune Of fervent
amens and loud hosannahs. and he went
home in complete satisfaction with his
nights work. He received the con-
eratulations of his joyful wife and re-
tired to his bed in great peace. At two
O'Clock in the morning there was a
knock at his door. In fear and trem-
bling Hiram. still shaking from his sud-
den conversion, tiptoed to the door and
opened it.
Who's there?' he inquired.
"Me, Hank Stubbins," came the an
swer. Let me in"
"Why, what's the trouble?" asked
Hiram, thoroughly aroused.
WAL Hiram," his guest began, "Mi
randy tells me that you got converted
tonight. and that you said in meetin'
that you was goin' to pay everybody
back twofold, threefold. fourfold. ies'
come over to see if it were true"
why certainly it's true" Hiram re-
sponded. sincerely; Il sure got religion
and I'm goin' to live righteous life"
We'll l come over to see what you
were goin' to do about that $3.50 you owe
me. Am goin' to git it twofold or four
fold, or am goin' to git it at all?"
Now that'll be all right" Hiram in.
terposed. Don't you worry But what
made you come here at this time of night
to tell ME this?"
WAL said Hank. Il thought I'd
better get in early. for when the news
gets around there'll be a great rush in
the morning"

WOMEN BEAR PAIN EASILY.
FoItitude of Fair Ones Is Shattered
by Dentist in His Explana-
ton of Reason.

The man, when his tooth
was being pulled. yelled hoarsrly.
The next patient. woman. bore
the pain of three eXtract:Ons wit
silent fortitude. relates the Min
ncapolis journal.
"les,' said the dentist. "women
endure the pangs of tooth pulling
better than men, but they deserve
no praise on this account. They
feel the pain less.
"EXperimcnts have frequently
been made" he went on, ito test
the acuteness of the masculine
and feminine senses. The last
experiments were Interesting and
conclusive.
"First, taste was tried. The
male subjects could detect in
water the presence of the siXtieth
part of grain Of gall. The won.
en- couldn't distinguish the gall in
a smaller quantity than the twcn-
tieth of a grain. The mems taste
was three times keener than the
women's.
"NeXt, smell. The men smelle1
the presence of the hundredth
part of a grain of prussic acid.
The women were unconscious of
the acid till a quantity five times
greater was set before them. In
smell the men were five times the
women's superiors.
"Men heard a watch ticking az
a distance of ten yards; women
could only hear it at a distance of
two yards. The males, again, yon
see, were five times the better.
''It was the same thing with
sight and with touch. >The men
saw five times better. They felt
five times more keenly and deli,
cately.
"These experiments explain
away the apparent anomaly of
woman's wondrous fortitude to
pain. Woman's senses being less
acute, she is less affected by pain
than man."

A FEW HINTS ON BAKING.
To Keep Pie Crust in Shape, Cookies
from Burning. Fruit Pies from
Getting Soggy.

When baking smell for a lemon or
cream pie, try this plan to keep it in
shape. Line the deep pie tin in the
usual way, then after Touring the bot
tom and sides of another tin exactly
like it, place it in the shell that is
ready to bake. The empty tin keepa
the crust in perfact shape, yet does
not hinder its baking nicely
When baking cookies, hermits OF
anything of that nature, instead OF
placing them in pans in the ordinary
way try placing them on the bottom,
of the pans when they are inverted.
There is much less danger of burning
them on the bottom, and being farther
removed from the heat of the bottom
of the oven, they will rise more before
becoming set, and are therefore much
lighter and better
When baking .custard in cups, set
them in shallow pan of hot water.
The custard bakos much more evenly
throughout, and is less liable to seI-
arate, and the steam rising from the
water makes it impossible to scorch
the top even with quick fire.
To bake fruit pies so that all the
juice is retained yet does not soak the
bottom crust. try this plan: Put stale
bread through the food chopper, and
place a layer of it, a quarter Of an
inch thick, over the bottom crust after
it is placed in the tin and before the
fruit is put in. The crumbs absorb
the extra juice, and cause it to be-
come like jelly, which improves the
pie but gives no hint of bread crumbs
This is much mere satisfactory than
using -four, which so often leaves n
raw, pasty taste when the pie is done.

Naturalistic Notations.

Fishes have no eyelids, and neces-
