WHY FRENCH WOMEN DRESS
WE'LL

Paris Letter to London Telegraph.
Cheap fashions in Paris do not mean
cheap fnery, and that is why French
women dress we'll. When they want
fnery they pay for it, and when they
can't afford it they 60 without and
dress according to their means. That
is the whole secret. They dress as well,
relatively, on $40 $500 a year as on
FL 900 ($5,000). The style is everything
and that-within limits-is as accessi-
BILE to a short as to long purse.
Experts say that the very cheapest
dress which Partisan shop girl can
buy-one at 19f (90c) for instance
has a style about it and is in the fash.
ion. Would she find it's equivalent in
England9 In Paris it is an axiom that
there is only one fashion for rich and
poor alike, and East End hats and cos
ter-girl modes have no French equiva
lent whatever. It is true that the
French girl devotes two-thirds Of he1
life, as a rule, to the study of dress
She knows within week or SO what
the great ladies are wearing, and, while
carefully refraining from aping their
luxury, she follows their fashions close
ly. In short, she asks for style with
out fnery. She would no more think OF
going to her work in an unfashionably
cut dress than she would of hanging
cheap ribbons, sham lace and tin orna
ments around herself. Hence her owr
special shops must keep as much up-to
date as the great couturiers.

A FORGOTTEN POLICY.

THOMAS W. LAWSON said at dinner In Boston,
/ anent the insurance scandals: -.
"Our insurance companies have given us policies
of many kinds-deferred payment policies, endowment
policies mutual life policies and so on-but l am
afraid they have overlooked the best policy OF all.
Honesty you know, is the best policy.'<
Mr.. Lawson smiled and went
"Honesty is always the best policy. There was an
insurance man here in Boston years ago who found
this out to his cost. The cost was $125,OOO. >.'
ga distinguished shipper in the China trade once
became alarmed about ship of his. The ship was
overdue Day after day passed. Desperate, at last,
the trader decided-marine insurance was novelty
in those days-that he would try to secure policy
on the missing vessel.
"He was promised policy, tho at tremendous
rate, of course. He promised the policy on Mon
day. and on Tuesday he heard that his boat had been
wrecked, and her rich cargo lost.
GAS the policy had not yet been made out, the
trader, very honest man. sent note around to the
manager of the insurance company saying that if he
had yet made out the policy he need not do So as
the vessel had been heard from.
"But the manager suspected that the merchant
wanted to cheat him out Of the heavy premium in
volved and tho the policy, really could not be made
out for an hour more, he at once wrote signed and
dispatched letter to the effect that the policy was
now in force and it too late to cancel it. 3"' "

gotten in his hunger for business, the best policy

HOW TO REST

8 4.
To understand how to rest is of more
Importance than to know how to work.
The latter can be learned if one will
an act some people never acquire. Rest
necessitates change Of scene and ac-
tivities. Lounging is very often firing,
sleeping is not always restful, and sit
ting down, with nothing to do, is sim
ply to invoke WEAKNESS A change is
needed to bring into play different set
of faculties and to direct the. thoughts
into new channel. The man or wo-
man who is weary with care finds relief
in active employment with freedom
from responsibility. The brain worker
generally finds the best rest in playing
hard. It is quite mistake always to
expect to find it in idleness.

MRS. vANDERBILT's IDEA

In her dressing room and on her pet
afternoon tea table Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt is using an idea she gath
cred from her hairdresser. The en-
broidered cloths spread over dressing
and tea tables are covered with sheets
Of the clearest plate glass, cut to fit
the table tops exactly. The advantage
of this glass cover, which Mrs. Van
derbilt was quick to tako in at glance,
is that one may use the costliest Of
lace or embroidered spreads for months
at time without having their fresh
ness ruined by dust or running the dan
ger Of having them spoiled at the clean,
ers'. This glass cover also prevents
the cloths from being stained by water,
cologne, hair tonic or the rings made by
wet bottles. In the case Of the tea
table, the kettle might sputter, the al
cohol run over, or a wet saucer might
be put down on the glass top, and yet
the embroidered cloth beneath would
not be spotted in the slightest. Any
woman can try this, for glass is cheap.

What the Market Affords

z ROC legs, 10 cents dozen.
i Hamburg steak, 10 cents pound.
Egg plant, 20 cents each.
Rye meal, 10-pound sack, 80 cents.
Coffee rolls, 20 cents a dozen.
Horseradish mayonnaise, 20 cents a

Pineapples, Is cents each.
The rich and abundant juices of the
pineapple are very cooling to the blood,
and contain remarkably active diges-
tive principle similar to pepsin, but
unlike the latter this principle will
operate in either an acid, neutral, or
even alkaline medium, according to the
kind of proteid to which it is presented.
Almost every housekeeper has at
some time in her cooking career been
annoyed by this puzzling digestive
principle of the pineapple, and many
a gelatine mixture has refused to gela-
tinize after the addition of raw pine
apple juice. This is because the gela-
tine has been so effectually digeste,l
that all possibility of it's stiffening has
been destroyed, explains the May Good
Housekeeping Whether the juice OF

FINE FOR THE CHILDREN

When the children want to cut OF
paste let them spread newspaper to
catch their litter. Tell them to cut
out men IS and women g faces and have
a baby show with them. Appoint
judges and give prize to the one the
judges think the prettiest. A twenty
year-old man or woman would be sixty
days or two months old. It is most
amusing.
Let them cut out animals, fruits and
flowers. You can have fairs, land
scapes, towns, streets and buildings,
and make nice art gallery. Make a
cup Of paste for them and let them
work on sheets Of newspapers, SO when
their work is done they can gather to-
gether the scraps and burn them. You
can invite the neighbors' children
from time to time and all together
make a quantity Of pictures and hold
fairs.
