LansdowRe a Favored Fabric
For Dressy Costumes

The beauty Of that very fashionable
material. Iansdowne. Is well illustrated
in this modish costume made by Dres
coll. of Paris. In color II IS the fash
ionable Copenhagen blue, which is book
ed for much favor this fall.
The skirt is remarkable for its plain
ness in direct contrast 10 the bodice,
which. though simple in outline, is
seemingly elaborate because of the ma
terials of which IL IS made and the
amount of handiwork which It carries.
The japanese sleeve drapery and stole
effect cut in one are made OF ecru cluny
lace, the design picked out IN various
shades Of blue with silk threads. There
is also a touch Of yellow in this en-
broidery.
The tucked undersleeves are Of chiffon
over white, and the collar and chemi-
settle are Of the finest net shirred and
inset with white cluny medallions- The
tassels which finish the stole ends back
and front are Copenhagen blue. and the
high girdle OF satin Is in a matching
shade. The white chip hat Is wreathed
with flowers Of blush red coloring and
the ostrich plumes are Of the same
shade as the dress.
Long black gloves complete this stun
ming toilet. suited for afternoon car
riage and calling wear or for informal
evening occasions.

What IS Courtesy?

The gentle spirit OF courtesy betrays
itself IN the manner OF addressing a
servant or a weary assistant behind the
counter as we'll as friends and ac-
ouaintances. A lack OF courtesy often
results from a mistaken idea as TO ones
own importance. The thought is borne
in the heart: but a false idea Of inde-
pendence prevents action. 1t merely is
an act Of courtesy and a mark OF noble
ness Of mind voluntarily TO resign ones
right in favor of another.
II is the same mistaken idea that con-
fuses frankness with rudeness. 1t Is a
virtue not to resort 70 the many petty
deceptions that mar our social system.
While we turn with disgust from the
woman who bids her friend an affec-
tionate farewell one moment ana
breathes a sigh Of relief at her depart
ure the next. we can but admit that a
truly courteous heart will refrain from
speaking an unpleasant truth without
imeperiling the persons veracity.

The Rose Jar

All varieties of sweet-scentcd roses
may go into the making Of a rose jar,
from the single petals OF the wild rose,

used the Sweeter the scent. For the
making allow one pint salt TO 2 half
peck OF rose leaves. and NIL jar with
alternate layers OF each. leaving the
first and last sections Of salt. Cover
closely ana keep in a cool place for FIVE
days, stirring carefully and working
wei with the hand several times each
day. This stirring and working is es-
sertial to prevent dampness and the
mating OF the leaves.
At the end OF this time add three
ounces allspice, pounded in a mortar,
and one ounce best stick cinnamon A
few cassia buds are also an approved
addition. Let the contents OF the 1ai
rcst another week. save for stirring
twice a day. Now put into the bottom
OF the permanent potpoUrri Jar one
ounce slightly broken allsplce. Mix with
a stick a half pound dried lavender
blossoms. one ounce bruised cloves, an
other stick cinnamon, and a half ounce
allspice, one nutmeg coarsely grated, a

WOnOn'S Qualities

The qualities in a woman that w,n q
mans love are various, buc thew NAV
all be summed up In one word. and
that word Is Womanliness. The highest
testimony we can give to true woman
hood Is 10 acknowledge that It's At
tributes are the sweetest ana the most
attractive TO be found in life Gentle
no-@-that is one thing q man looks for
IN the woman he wants for his wife
Not the loud-tongued war of selfish
seeking, not the restless desire TO as
sert herself and drive all others from

who recognizes her highest rights to
Womanhood. and does not discredit them
by hinging them In the worlds teeth.
A man loves woman VINO is true
II is part Of his view Of the woman he
wants to make his own that she is an
angel He credits her with all good
ness and all nobility OF soul. II he
sees her trying 10 attain II. however
hard the struggle. he admlres and re-
spects her, whatever hts own aims may
be. But when she pretCnds 10 be good
and isn't-when she talks OF noble
deeds and never tries 10 do them
when she tells him he IS all the world
10 her. and shows him by her conduct
that he is not. when he detects the
HHIlDuB' men are mucn quicker 10 ma
out than are women, and his respect
and his love go.
A woman must be lovinE-in a mans
IDEAL of her. She should have that
tenderness which is one Of her chief
charms. Loving in spirit-not in word
alone. though her words must have
Eraciousness. and never be rude or IN
kind. She must show the soft side Of
her nature. not the shCrny one. He
gets plenty Of that from his own sex.
Just as II IS his strength and his
manliness that seem to her his most
admirable possessions, so he looks 20

Above all, a man looks to find a
woman sympathetic. full Of interest In

rheumatism, as every one knows, Is
a symptom of deranged kidneys. It is
a condition produced by the failure of
the kidneys to properly filter or strain
from the blood the uric acid and other
matter which, il not eradicated, either
in the urine or through the skin pores,
