French frock is shown with skirt of the

with the toilet has bunch of cherries

inertly Parisenne and very effective In
piquant style.
A very pretty way of treating a simple
white lawn or linen gown is to cut the skirt
in three fiounces each finished with a broad
hen.stitch and buttonholed stitched open
ings, through which pale colored ribbon
Is run. Through the bloused waist are run
similar threadings, both back and front
and at the end of the short sleeves. Besides
tn, frocks mentioned there are the eufbroid-

in handwork and exquisite machine effects
and trimmed with miles and miles of lace
and hand embroidery that beggar descrip-
ton. To wear with simple tub frocks made
with tucks, lace yokes and frilled sleeves
are dainty lace sashes. They are really
very ultra affairs. The girde portion is
boned and shaped to the figure while the
sash ends narrow at the top and are round

with maline and corded
Speaking of trimmings reminds me of
recent novel in which the author refers to
one of his characters as wearing a frock
with many trimmings. for none of which
there seemed any excuse" The same de-
scription applies to the up-to-date lingerie

something else which Is of as much i'm
portance as correct gowning-how to hide
theii defects. For instance, Frenchwo-
mar rarely shows all her forehead. A
her face. A Frenchwoman never bundles
up her neck unless she is old woman
and seldom wears jewels near her eyes
And Frenchwoman takes good care to
keep her figure. very near the classic. In
fact, If one were to sum up the graces of
the Frenchwoman one would say that she
knows how to use her eyes; that she under
stands the art of lifting her chin; that she
has the trick of fitting her head at the
right angle, and that she has brought vi
vacity down to a fine art.
Then one would say that she makes the
most of her best feature. II her eyes are
her strong point she Grapes her hair in
Grecian waves across her temples so as to
bring out the beauty of her eyes. and she
shades them deicately and makes her eye
brews grow long and dark and coaxes her
lasEes to curl.

The Pope's Sisters.
ne London Chronicle

From the London ChrOncIe.
The statement has often been made that
the three sisters of Plus X are lodged by
him in the Vatican palace. Neither has
that position of splendor- been assigned
them, nor, on the other hand. is there any
public show made of the family poverty.
The three simple Venetian women, much
less smart than shopkeepers and rather
of the gondolier class, inhabit little bour-
geois apartment in a street of the Traste-
we're, near St. Peters, whence they do their
own daily marketing, their only iuxuries
from the Vatican being a few books bound
in the pontifcal white vellum, and a daily
drive. 1t is pleasant to think that Vene-
tian patricians, who hardly liked to pay
homage to a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of s.,
low caste, now hold themselves honored

The Care Of scrubbing Brushes.

When not In use scrubbing brushes
should be kept in an airy place with the
bristles down. They viii last twice as long
like this. for. as 1t is easy to see, the water
running down the bristies into the back OF
the brush loosens them whether they be

ed about fourteen inches from the floor, the
lower edge being straight fiounce with
tucked top, the tucks being in groups and
running half the depth of the founce This
fiounce was joined to the cores by two half
inch insertions of Valenciennes, the idea
evidently being that two narrow joined in
sertions were stronger than single one.
| This bottom founce had a two-nch hem
and just above the hem an inch-wide in
sertion of the Valenciennes.
The bodice had yoke formed of shaped
pieces like small cores of the organdie
and these were tucked. These little shaped
sections were Joined by Valenciennes in
sertion, and the stock was also formed of
insertions of the lace and one narrow one
of the organdie.
This yoke was Joined to the body of the
waist by an inch-wide insertion Of the lace
and the body was laid al the top in clus-
over the bust. and taken in again just
above the narrow girdle belt. which was

them in one; this belt was made of three
rows of the insertion. In the back the

of sections shaped like melon sections Ia
pering at both top and bottom, but not
excessively, for there was a single tiny
piait at the end of each section. These
sections were Joined lengthwise by the
Vaienciennes insertions. There was band
or cuff four inches wide made of two rows
of organdie and two of Valenciennes, and
TO this band was attached four-inch ruff
fe of the organdie cut into deep points. the
cuts between them running up to within an
inch of the bands. These ruffies were dou-
bic ruffies. made of two rows OF Valen-
ciennes edging, the lower or under one an

one about three-quarters of an inch; this

DEMAND FOR JOBS.

Havana, Oct. 11.-Several leaders OF
the revolution have arrived here from
various parts of the island for the pur-
pose, II is said. of attending meeting
at the home Of General del Castillo.
They would not discuss the object OF
the gathering, but II is said that the
rebel generals intend to make urgent
requests TO Secretary Taft for Official
positions under the provisional gov
ernment. They feel. 1t Is asserted,
that their hopes are vain unless they
voice their ambitions before the de-
parture Of Mr.. Taft. 1t Is stated that
each Of the generals has selected the
position which he desires and will
make a demand for II on the ground
that Mr. Taft is under obligations to
them for their assistance In dfsarming
the rebels. Among the generals known
to have been requested by telegraph
to come here are Guzman. Ferrara.
Nuchado and Guerra and 1t Is be-
lieved that others are coming.
II is considered significant that the
rebels who served under General del
Castillo have been instructed not to
sell their, horses and II is feared that
Del Castillo has wild idea of enforc-
ing his demand for a position under
the provisional government.

SOUTH AMERICAN BOYCOTT.
Queer Circular Received by New Or.
leans Manufacturers.

New Orleans. Oct. 1l.-Printed cir
culars threatening that South Amer
ican countries will boycott the goods
of American manufacturers who vote
for President Roosevelt's principles In
the next presidential election have
been received by several New Orleans
manufacturing firms. The circular.
which is claimed to have been drafted
In Caracas, Venezuela. on Sept. Il,
reads in part:
American manufacturers who vote
the Roosevelt ballot in the next pres
idential election will be excluded from
South American trade.
President Roosevelt has said In
some recent speeches that the Latin
American countries are bound to dis
appear for two reasons-first, because
they are Latin, and, second, because
they are small"
The circular then says that the
Democratic party lis disposed to fra
ternize with us and treat us on an
equal basis"
II says that lit boycott stations
have already been established, but
does not explain what is meant by
boycott stations The organization is
claimed to be on a military basis. en-.
tirely independent of South American
governments and better organized
than the Chinese boycott.
The circular calls this organization
the Sublime brotherhood of ZaQues.
Apparently the circulars were mailed
from San Jose, Costa Rica.
