to Keep up Stockings.

The problem of how to keep women's
stockings suspended in place without
tearing them has at last been solved,
and now those who spent small fortunes
every year on hosiery just because the
garters tore them can spend the extra
money in some other way. And incident
ally Silk-the real sheer kind in which a
thread was always breaking and spoil
| ing the whole Stocking-can now be worn
without any thought about the weave
breaking.
In order to hold the stockings in shape
and in place it has always been neces-
sary to have them caught up we'll at the
top, and the clasps used on the sup
porters in time break through the fine
stitches because of the strain, and the
hose was then practically ruined, for it
was a matter of but short time after
one break occurred before there were
several other "runs." This could not be
avoided even with heavier Isle thread
and cotton weaves, and in desperation
women who have fad for wearing
costly hosiery sought ways to remedy
the evil.
Now a scheme has been devised against
tearing and 'runs" by theatrical
wardrobe woman that has proved sue
cess, and since she has been using 1t
she declares that her hosiery has lasted
three times as long, and in all the six
months experiment she has not had a
single thread break at the top of even
her finest stockings.
81 have found that by sewing carefully
| two pieces of stout ribbon about two
inches square to the hem of each of my
stockings, one on either side, that the
strain is no longer on the hose but on
the ribbon into which l fasten the clasps
on the supporters. And the beauty Of
this device is that can draw them up as
tight as l wish and feel perfectly safe
that the stockings will be free from
runs" or a tear when take them off.
With this plan working find that now
the only places I wear out the sheerest
of my hosiery are in the feet.
"There is another plan that is quite as
effective, though think it is less decora-
tive than the ribbon, for with the latter
| it is always easy enough to match the
exact shade of the stockings, while in
using tapes frequently they cannot be
bought in a color that corresponds.
when the latter are put on they are
made into one on either side of the leg,
and through these ribbons from the
elastics are tied. I think this last
scheme is less practical than the first
one, though it prevents any tearing or
"runs," because the supporters or gar
ters have to be changed, the clasps taken
off and ribbons or elastic fixed 80 that
they can be tied into the loops"

LAPLANDER STYLES.
They Haven't Changed Any In the
Last Thousand Years.

They Haven't Changed Any In the
Last Thousand Years.
There Is one corner in the world
where the fashions Of the people have
remained the same for the last thou
sand years. The Lapp lady is not con.
ccrned about the latest toque from
Paris nor is she subject to that soul
narrowing experience. the bargain
counter crush. However, she may
properly lay claim to having been the
original bloomer girl. for the neither
garment worn by her today is Of the
same design as that worn by her an
cestors of thousand years ago.
The summer garment Of the Lapland-
er is usually of coarse wooden goods
and has something the cut Of shirt
with a high collar. Among the sea
Lapps 1t is for the most part undyed.
Among the other Lapps usually blue,
sometimes green or brown and even
black smock frocks have been seen.
Round the Wristbands. along the
seam In the back and on the edges this
smock is Ornamented with strips Of
red and yellow cloth. Under this gar
ment is a similar one. either plain or
figured, worn next to the body, for the
Lapp never wears linen underclothing.
The trousers are Of white WOODEN
goods, rather narrow and reaching to
the ankles. where they are tied inside
the shoes with long slender shoestrings
Over these drawers are usually worn
leggings of thin. tanned skins, reach
Ing from the ankles to the knees.
Stockings the Lapp never wears. He
fills the upper curving tip Of his shoes
with sort Of grass, which Is gathered
in summer and beaten to make 1t soft
and pliable. The winter costume only
differs from that worn In summer in
that every piece Is made Of reindeer
skin with the hair on.
The dress Of the women differs very
slightly from that worn by the men.
The smock Is somewhat longer and Is
made without the big standing collar,
instead of which kerchief or cap is
worn about the neck. To the woven
and often silver ornamented girdle
hang knife, scissors, key. needle and
thread. The head covering Is not only
different in the two sexes. but also
differs according to the locality.

Some people feed their cat-when 1t ID

house when he shows inclination fol
either, and think they have discharged
all duty toward the animal. Such PEG.
pie should not be allowed to own cat,
for neglect to this most domestic animal
is next to neglect of an infant.
To keep cat healthy and happy these
rules should be observed:
Never overfeed cat, especially in
summer.
Don't cuddle It in your arms on hot
days.
Feed the animals twice day. once In
the morning and again at night, giving
nothing between meals.
A cat should eat its meals a. Q person
does and when finished the dishes should
be cleared and put away, instead OF
leaving them around all day with scraps
Of food for the pets to eat If they want
it.
The best kinds Of food for hot weathe,
are fine chopped beef, lamb or liver
with an occasional feed Of fish, either
fresh or cooked. Rice and beef, or NUT
ton made into stew is very good or
hot days.
If a cat has been brought up on fresh
chopped beef this diet should not be
changed even to cooked beef, or If cook
ed vegetables have been fed meat should
not be substituted. Most cats like cat.
nip and it should be given about once
week.
If milk is given them it should bt
plentifully diluted with water, about
one-quarter water to three parts of milk
Fresh water and plenty of 1t should al
ways be kept in dish where cats car
get it, and in hot weather they should be
given fresh, cool drink as often as they
will take it.
Persian and Angora cats must be pro:
tected from draughts. They take colo
easily and often die of pneumonia.
Keep the cat out doors as much a,
possible. Make It a bed of excelsior IL
the yard and let it sleep there.
Comb and brush the long, hairy coat
once day, and each week scrub 1t witt
lukewarm water and suds.
A cats mouth should be frequently
looked into, and If large amount o.
tartar has collected on the teeth arounc
the gums it should be scraped off with
sharp instrument either by the owner Of
veterinary.
A decayed tooth should not be allow
ed to stay, for it readily affects thu
others and often causes the cat to refuse
food until it becomes weak and sick from
hunger.
If the claws of the house pet grow toe
long they should be carefully trimmed
Should the cat show evidence of fieai
use prepared soap for this purpose il
| frequent baths. If in hot weather i
claws its hair until the skin is sore, rul
in zinc ointment.

the snakes and sea serpents, the wonder

The Animal Schools Failed

wonder how many little boys and
girls know why there are no schools
in animal land?
Well. wherever there are schools
there are school commissioners or a
school board. which has charge OF the
schools and makes the laws to govern
them.
When the animals decided to estab-
lish schools they selected a school
board, consisting Of Mr.. Elephant. Mr..
kangaroo and Mr.. Monkey, and these
fellows held a meeting to agree upon
their plans.
'What shall the animal children be
taught in the animal school? That Is
the question" declared Mr.. Monkey.

Wedding Superstitions.

The bridegroom who carries a NINA

be lucky.
The bride who dreams of fairies on
the night before her wedding will be
thrice blessed.
Never give telegram to a bride or
bridegroom on the way to the church.
1t is q sure omen of evil.
Marriages on board ship are consider.
ed unlucky. If you can't be married on
dry land, remain unwed.
The finding of q spider on the wedding
gown by a bride Is considered sure
token of happiness to come.
If during the marriage ceremony the
wedding ring should fall down, the
brides fate will not be an enviable one.

around at the waist line, lowering it
right in front to allow for blousing. This
tape is stitched on its upper and lower
edge; two holes are buttonholed in it in
front, and number one tape is run
through to each side, stitching firmly at
the sides and leaving two ends in front
to tie. This is drawn up and tied to

remains tied until the waist is ready for
