to them. Start by watching yourself at home
and determining to make no unnecessary move
ments. Have you ever watched yourself set a
table or arrange a drapery, little woman? Do
you push plate here and pull it back there,
do you pick up fork, lay it down, take it up
again and change it's position immaterial half
inch or so? Do you make move as though to
shift the sugar bowl or juggle the cream pitcher
with the butter dish and then change your mind?
or do you pull curtain here, pat it there and
then undo the work, starting all over again with
uncertain movements which accomplish nothing,
before going straight at the work in business
like manner? . <.
If you do any of these you are fdgeting and
firing yourself unnecessarily. Besides, you are
trying the nerves of all who are obliged to watch
you, and you are building up; a tiredness which
will make you cross and cranky for apparently
no reason whatever. <szs z-1 sset3,.<s 2 " :,
And now for that tap, tap, tap Of the foot.
That irritating little patter or sliding forward
and back. How many hostesses spoil the gracious
ness Of their conversation by this little exhibition
of disease? How many guests try the nerves of
their hostess by the same manifestation? VII
Actually there are women, many of them who
punctuate every remark with tap, tap, tap Of
the foot or shuttle forward and back. Watch
yourself and stop that "wigge," it's unpleasant
word to acknowledge, but it often spoils! a dig
nifed and reposeful calm. W. 8
Contrast the woman who fdgets while she
talks or listens with one who leans respectfully
back in her chair to converse or to nod approval
at your remarks and you will soon determine
to acquire the charm Of the reposeful woman,
to Danish the fdgets and to let your body express
thought instead of making it a machine of sense
less and wearing action. s5
When the hands are tmoved let the gesture be
to some purpose; let it aid in the telling
of the story or in the expression of sym
pathy, do not let them wander aimlessly
to and fro, tanning the air or making little
meaningless jobs at nothing. What is more ex-
pressive than. forceful gesture of hands. well
under CONTROL what is more attractive than
animation exhibited in this manner? What is
more distracting than the nervous twitching Of
the fingers so often seen? -. ~. VIZ ~
And all those little unnecessary movements are
fatiguing. They are some of the reasons why
women age so much more quickly than men.
Practice repose Of mind, that will bring repose
Of body, and you will be about the foun-

exquisite restaurant dress worn this
Al week was of sky.bue eoEenne its full
supple skirt laid in plaits and garnish-
1881 ed with undulating ribbons. The
crossed bodice was rather complicated.
Z a. It opened on white plastron decked
with gold buttons, and its crossing folds were
embroidered in white and blue. The elbow
sleeves showed the same embroidery.
A beautiful dress worn by recent 'debutants
at her first ball illustrated many Of the points
taken. The material was white net over satin.
The short bodice was spangled in silver, and fuffs
Of white tulle were arranged in puffs over the
top of the bodice and formed the sleeves, sprays
of flowers in white and pale pink being dropped
here and there in the folds OF the short sleeves
and across the bodice. The skirt was long and
straight enough for goddess, the whole cos
tune having an up-anddown effect, odd enough
on tall, young girl, yet very much in the mode.
An odd thing about the debutantes toilets is
the prevalence of empire styles. The short
wasted, longlimbed fashion that the ladies of
Napoleon's court borrowed and modified from
classic days is in its essence graceful and beauti-
full. but in many of its forms custom has long
taught us to think Of it little girlish and its
effect on q young woman of six feet in height is
sometimes laughter provoking.
Mushroom shapes in millinery, both large and
small, are among the possibilities. and one good
model in white felt shows thick wreath of vio-
/ let's running around the large mushroom top and
giving somewhat the effect of low crown, while
white ostrich tips are set under the brim at the
back.
| Ostrich plumes are set on the modish hats at
any and every angle, and wing birds and flowers
| All have their places among the small trimmings.
The little that has by no means been set aside.
r. has only been forced to share the stage centre,
and it is \ on the whole, rather less rakish than
a threatened to be, though it is still tip tilted
and requires in some of its forms much of tho
couture.
The large hat, too, is tilted forward and to one
eide nv means of high bandeau hidden by
some sort of cache peigne trimming, but Ameri-
can women have not so far shown themselves will
ing to wear their picture hats at the audacious
angles indicated by the Partisan journals.

Bracina the Nerves

T7HE number of people who suffer from
nerves is very remarkable. 1t is the
same in every country and every ma
lGMM tionality seems to have its one
- particular method for .bracing the
nerves" Tea drinking is almost an inter-
national cure, but experts tell us that
this is the least successful. 1t acts as
tonic, but the reaction is very harmful. Perhaps
the best "bracer" for tired nerves is cold water
Russians make the most use of this cure. The
face is splashed in cold water, and the hands held
in it for four or five minutes. Then half glass
of pure fresh water is taken. The japanese find
very hot milk, slipped slowly, very beneficial, and
this, by the way, is strongly recommended by
many medical men in this country. Many French
doctors advise patients who suffering from
nerves to sit quietly for half an hour bare-foted.

chauffeur was something like the hero of the
hour. But perhaps the most Distinguishing fea-
ture was the keen interest displayed in motors
by women and the number Of novelties in connec-
ton with motoring that specially concern women.
There can be no doubt that it iszto the fair sex
that the motor owes its great and ever-increasing
popularity. A woman is a far greater slave to
automobilism than man; few women are happy
nowadays unless they possess some kind Of motor
vehicle and in this direction increase of appetite
surely grows on and on, for having once
become possessed of motor, what woman does
not instantly cast envious eyes on something
more gorgeous and luxurious still RI

NEW BUILDING COLLAPsEs.
Supports Were Removed Too Soon
Several Killed And Injured.

Elyria, O., (SpeciaD Two men
were killed and a dozen fatally in
jured and many others hurt by the
falling of the second floor of the
new factory building of the Farford
Company, under construction here.
The accident happened while 27
men were at work removing the false
structure used to hold the concrete
pillars of the new building in place.
The false work, it is said, was re-
moved too soon, the concrete not yet
having hardened sufficiently to sus-
tain the weight of the structure.
Sixteen workmen on the first floor
of the building were caught be-
meath the fall of heavy tile, brick
and steel beams of the wrecked floor.
The dead and injured, so far as
is known, are Hungarians, who were
doing ttfe heavy work about the con-
struction of the building. The in
jured were removed to a hospital
as fast as taken from the ruins. All
the ambulances and doctors in the
city were called to the relief of the
injured.

mr.. M'CABE BUSTED
BY THE COMMITTEE
The Policy Holders. Unanimous In
Retiring the Bishop.
ADDRESS SENT HIM IN TIME
His Protest, the InternatiOnals Declare,
Shows Lack of Sympathy With the
Movement and Amounts to Surren-
der of Membership-Warns Policy
Holders.

New York, Especially The inter-
national policy holders committee at
a meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria
ousted Bishop Charles c. McCabe, OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
from membership on the committee.
This was the committees answer to
the bishops letter, made public
through the management of the
Mutual Life Insurance Company, as
sorting that he had not authorized the
use of his name in a committee adj
dress, and urging that the interna-
tional organization indorse the ad-
ministration ticket of the two mutual
companies.
Eighteen of twenty-five members
of the committee were present at the
meeting, and the vote to dispense
with the bishops services was unan-
imous. Bishop McCabe's attitude,
the committee held, was so complete
ly out of sympathy with the announc-
ed purpose of the organization that
it amounted in effect to surrender
of his membership. The bishop was
not present at the meteing.
The resolutions adopted stated that
copies of the proposed address were
furnished to Bishop McCabe before
the meeting at which the address, as
adopted, was mailed at least three
weeks before the address was dis
tributed, and no objection or criti-
cism was made by him as to the form
of the address for four weeks. after
it's distribution, nor until the letter
of August 81.
The chairman is authorized to pre-
pare an answer to the bishops let
ter.
The international committee at the
meeting also selected the men whom
it will present on the policy holders
tickets for trustees of the Mutual
and New York Life. In selecting
the former ticket the international or
ganization cooperated with the Nut
ual Life Policy Holders Association.
The tickets will not be made public
until September 18', the date on which
they must be filed in Albany.
A subject discussed was the action
of the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany in nominating Judge George
Gray, Gen. Benjamin F. Tracy, Col.
Alfred M. Shook, and Harlow N.
Higginbotham, members of the in
ternational policy holders committee,
as trustees, against their wishes. The
following resolution was passed:
Resolved, That the placing Of the
names of the four members of this
committee on the administration
ticket of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company, without the consent and
against the protest of those whose
names were thus used, tends to de-
ceive the policy holders who are
called upon to vote, and deserves
the reprobation of fair minded men.

.FORGERIES DONE BY NIPPLE
More Villainies of the Suicide President
Discovered.

Philadelphia, Especially .-Forger-
les for more than quarter of mill
lion of dollars by Frank K. Nipple,
the suicide president of the defunct
Real Estate Trust Company, have
been discovered by Receiver Earle.
The latter made this statement add
ing that he had no idea where Hip
pies villainy would end. Nipple, in
order to meet his immense over
drafts, used the names of some of
the most prominent business men OF
this city on notes which in some cases
amounted to $4,000.
The president had taken copies OF
the signatures of number of busl-
ness men while some of their checks
or negotiable securities passed.
through his hands, but in every case
he avoided the use of the name of a
Real Estate Trust Company deposit
tor.
When pinched for money to meet
his overdrafts or some big Segal loan,
Mr.. Earle said, as last resort Hip
pie would draw up note with the
forged signature attached.
This he would take to the cashier
or paying teller, saying he had per-
sonally made the loan, and it was
discounted. With this amount to
his credit he would satisfy the press
ing claim.
Receiver Earle said that in order
to accomplish the reorganization OF
the Real Eestate Trust Company he
would accept the presidency If the
depositors insisted.
That someone secured 100000
for negotiating the loans made to
Adolf Segal by President Nipple is
believed by those now engaged in
investigating the company's affairs.
Segal's repeated assertions that he
did not borrow more than 100000
from the trust company has caused
the Investigators to exert every eff
fort to discover all of the details
connected with these loans. and il
it is found that others benefited they
will be made to return the money.

Cuban Trade Growing.

partment of Commerce and Labor an
nounces that, the commerce of the
United States with CUBA in the fiscal
year just ended was greater than in
any earlier year of the trade rela-
lions between the United States and
that island. This is particularly true
of exports. The imports from the
island fell slightly below those OF
1905, due to the fall in the price of
sugar, but the exports to the islands
were 25 per cent. greater than in
1905, rs per cent. greater than In
1904 and about 100 per cent. greater
than in 1903 The exports for the
fiscal year 1906 amounted to $17,-

AN ODD STORY OF
RESCUE At Sc
Man Lost From One Steamer Saved
By Another.
WAS VERY ANXIOUS TO DROWN
Interpreter of the Carpathia, Bent on
Suicide, Was in the Water Many
Hours Before He Was Picked UP
by British Steamer Wife Threatened
To Desert Him.

New York Especially .-Omcers OF
the Cunard steamship Carpathia ar
irving here Sunday from Mediterran-
can ports told strange story OF
would-be suicide on the voyage out
of man being in the water for
many hours and of finally being res
cued by another vessel.
How the man came to be picked
up alive was more than anyone on
the steamship could tell, since he
seemed bent on suicide when he
Owed from the ships deck.
The Carpathia sailed from here
for Naples on July 81. Several days
before that a young Hungarian, who
said that his name was Paul Slider,
applied to the purser for job as in
terpreter, and as that berth was
empty he was employed.
Slider seemed in good spirits when
the Carpathia sailed, but gradually
he grew morose. He told Purser
Hodgson that his wife in Fiume had
written to him that she was tired OF
waiting for him to make fortune
in America and that she was going
away with a man whom she cared
for.
On the night of August 8, about
10 o'clock, when the Carpathia was
only half days run from Gibraltar
Slider was seen standing on the port
side amidship near the rail. There
was a splash in the water and a CRY
Of Man overheard" Some one
threw a lifebuoy over the side and
} boat was lowered after the engines
had been stopped.
1t was a bright moonlight night,
and as the boat was rowed toward the
Bpot where Slider was last seen there
was heard cries of Don't save me;
let me drown"
The boat went in circles for more
than an hour finding only the mans
hat, returned to the Carpathia. Sid
Ter was given up as lost.
At Gibraltar the Carpathia stopped
long enough to discharge passengers.
and then started on her way to Ma
