Women Of the Great West.

We mentioned to some friends that
we had aimed to acquire little dis
dom in the simple life, by studying
these new countries; but they went
into spasms of impolite laughter at
the suggestion 1t seems that the
women hold on to all the frills they
used to know, and acquire all the new
ones they can hear Of, as means OF
proving their social status, and OF
Transforming their present place OF
residence into the nearest possible
semblance of the one they left behind.
When they move into town off the
ranches, and discard sunbonnets and
Mother Hubbards, they wear chiffon
hats with brims few inches wider
than Eastern modes. After few
years of town and club life they be-
come-oh, wearisomely like every one
else! One of them, herself woman

To brinq Birds Back.

German farmers are trying to in
duce the smaller birds to return to
their old haunts about the fields, and
for this purpose are setting out box
es and other artificial devices to serve
the birds for homes. The farmers
need the birds to destroy the insects,
but the birds are disappearing not
only because Of their direct slaughter,
but also because the old trees In the
decayed hollows Of which they built
their nests, the old copses which they
haunted. and both OF which were pro-
litc in insects, together with the
stagnant pools which yielded them
food in abundance, are all disappear

phere before 1t reached the lungs and
at the same time heated. If 1t is i'm
possible to breathe through the nose a
physician should be consulted and the
obstruction removed. Every attention
to this condition does much toward
preventing throat, ear and lung trou-
bles in later life. Catarrh is invaria-
bly, caused by the failure to breathe
through the nose.
The second essential to correct
breathing is by deep inhalations and
exhalations. Deep breathing should
be practised as far as possible in order
that the full capacity of the lungs may
be properly developed The breathing
should be done slowly and at first
practiced when one gets up in the
morning and when she retires at night.
Soon the habit is formed and deep
breathing becomes natural and fire.
Quently great improvement in the gen.
eral health is the result.
The next point to observe Is the
number of respirations or breathings
occurring In one minute. There should
be one to every four beats of the pulse.
The average pulse Of a woman, under
normal conditions, Is about seventy;
the number of respirations should
therefore be about eighteen. OF course
the number increases after exercise.

How Fashions are Made.

Full bottomed wigs were invented
by French barber to conceal de-
formity in the shoulders Of the then
Dauphin. The Court, of course, imi-
tated the Dauphins wig, and SO it be-
came fashionable.
Similarly, Charles VII. OF France
introduced long coats to hide i'll made
legs.
Patches were invented, they tell us,
in England, by foreign lady, who
in this. manner ingeniously covered a
wen on her neck.
In 1850 Duke Philip of Burgundy,
having had his hair cut during an i'll
ness, issued an edict that all the no.
bles of his States should be shorn also
with the result that over five hundred
persons sacrificed their hair, says
Home Chat.
In the time of Henry I. it was Gus
tomary to allow the hair and beard
to grow until the king had his cut
officially, when the royal example
was at once followed.

The Caracui Jacket.

The short caracul jacket is certainly
one of the most fascinating of fash
IONS fads this season. To be worn
with skating costume such as has al
ready been described it is most ella
borate costume, of white cloth, for in
stance, the jacket is of white caracul,
1t is hard to imagine anything more
fascinating. The acme of the fad is
reached In these coats dyed to match
the gown-pale blue, mauve, etc. Very
smart they are, too, and yet the white
or black somehow seem to be more
popular.
Dyed gray squirrel is another fad
In the short fur Jackets, and also in
the stoles and muffs. Brown is the
color to choose, and the fur can only be
recognized as squirrel by close obser-
vation, for it seems like much richer
and more expensive skin, and compares
most favorably with mink in coloring
and effect--Harper's Weekly.

An American 6irt at Court.

The necessary wardrobe is no small
matter. A simple court dress by
Pxuuin will cost anything from $500
to 3750-not including lace which may
be family heirloom above price.
The debutante's bouquet may include
500 worth Of costly orchids and hot
house blooms AS to gloves, the regu-
lation twenty-four button court gloves
will cost IS to $40 pair at least, in
a Bond street store; and for shoes,
the correct ones are to be bought at
little store high up Bond street near
the Oxford Street end. These people
make shoes for the Queen and Prin-
cesses, and the price is $25 a pair.
It is embarrassing to find that almost
every detail q of ones . attire Is laid
down by law and has endured for CEN
turtles.
Some points about the presentation
at court are much changed since
Queen Vietoria's day The courts, y
as they are now called, are held at 10
o'clock at night-an hour much more
becoming to ones costume and COM
plexion than the erstwhile afternoon
session. Also, there are beautiful
bands in attendance; most excellent
buffet supper; and last, but by no
means least, the King and Queen sit
on gorgeous thrones at the end of a
huge and sumptous saloon, in all the

Less China: More Silver.

The tendency increases to use less
china on the table and to substitute
silver and glass when possible. II
cutglass is used the economy of this
fashion is not apparent, for cutglass Is
exceedingly liable to accident, and its
first costs exceeds that OF good china.
II it does not receive the best of treat
ment it becomes dull and not worth
its cost But there are such excellent
patterns in pressed glass that one may
make an exception to her rule not to
tolerate limitations and buy the cheap
er glass for use even in the company
of good china and silver.
Undoubtedly there is an economy in
using more silver says the Lowell
Daily Mail.
When great grandmother washed
her own china in cedar tub, the egg
shell dishes outlasted the owner Now
the careful dishwasher is rare crea-
ture even if she exists at all. What
china is not broken by crowding in
the dishpan is finished by knocking
against the faucets over the sink Sill
yer may be dented and the plate worn
off, but the silversmith will hammer
out the dent and cover the worn places
and the article is as good as new.
Some careful housewives whom
know are using silver vegetable and
pudding dishes and small platters, for
boiling water will not crack them,
they bear dry heat well and are imper-
vious to all common accidents. Sell
ect such silver with plain or fluted sur
face and with beading on the edge 1t
will be an easy matter to keep it
bright. Speaking from experience a
silver dish set on little four-inch
electric stove connected with the
chandelier above the table and turned
its lowest power has kept food to be
served hot in better temperature than
any china dish could possibly have
done. Then again these silver serving
dishes add brilliancy to the table and
make a simple meal satisfy the eye as
we'll as the palate. Do not buy these
dishes too large and possibly it may
be difficult to find just the right sizes.
Every housekeeper- learns sooner OF
later to keep looking in the shops un-
til she finds what she needs and not
to be won over by many words into
taking what will remind her daily
that 1t was not just what she wanted.

With the one exception of being
made of the material of the dress, the

Beautiful types of Watteau and

Satin hats are in every possible
shape Hydrangea blue, forget-me-
not blue, rose pink, amethyst shades
and emerald green are noteworthy
colors.
Every bit as modish as ever are the
spats, or over-gaiters, as many prefer
to call them. Even this early they
are being worn over boots, which
would seem to be rather warm way
to dress. We have had a few cold
days, however, and. alas. we will have
many more.
There are indications that for cos
tunes and coats the elbow sleeve will
be retired for the cold weather months

slightly full at the top, will take its
place. There will be many modifica-
