WHAT THE WISE WIFE KNOWS.
Observations for the Builders of
Happy Homes.

She knows that home is more than
half what you make it, and that a
builder of happy home is a success
indeed. She knows that 1t takes two
to prolong family quarrel, one can
therefore terminate It, She knows
that filling house with bargains
keeps couple from owning the house
in which they place them.
She knows that If we thought all we
said we'd be wise, but If we said all
we thought we'd be foolish. She
knows that some people sneer at love
in a cottage, but love that could wish
to live anywhere else is not love. She
knows that proud people seldom have
friends. In prosperity they know no
body; in adversely, nobody knows
them. She knows that to make long
lived friendships one must be slow in
making them.
She knows that the woman who
gains a trifle meanly is meaner than
the trifie. She knows that 'it is less
pain to learn in youth than to be ig-
norant in old age" She knows that If
she cannot throw brightness over her
home it is best not to throw a wet
blanket over 1t. She knows that the
who thinks she is perfect is generally
the most imperfect. The unwise wife
may profit by studying what the wise
woman knows.-Chicago Journal.

Season of Bows.

The news comes from an authorita-
tive source that many small bows are
to be used as fashionable details OF
smart toilets. Even now these little
bits of color or black are making their
appearance upon gowns for day wear.
They are larger than the tight little
affairs In taffeta and satin and partake
more of the form of rosettes.
Three black velvet ribbon bows are
used with splendid effect upon

over pearl gray taffetas. yelled with
soft silk gauze. Boucher. by the way,

cry. This trimming hangs as a loose
border below a net yoke shirred with
green and silver threads. In the cen.
ter of the front and on either side, at
the very armpits, are the black velvet
bows.

Popular Maline,

Coral pink, light blue and a new
shade of lavender that borders on
rose pink are equally popular for hats
whose trimmings consist of fur and
maline. An odd thing about the sea-
sons smartest chapeaus is the pro-
nounced liking for golden brown ma
line in conjunction with every other
millinery shade. No matter what the
foundation of the hat may be or whe-
ther it harmonizes with the frock,
the bandeau is oftener garnished with
rosettes of brown tulle or maline than
any other decoration. Streamers of
ribbon or flowers falling from the
back bandeau are noticed in a great
many of the swagger hats. For the
flower streamers small roses and
buds are used. Falling-off trimmings
are undoubtedly growing in favor. One
of the latest developments is the
handful of uncurled feathers that
droop from the right side of the brim,
the lowest ones actually resting on
application of the valenciennes lace
that makes the touch of dainty elab-
oration.

HOMEMADE ELECTRIC LIGHT.
A Two horsepower Motor VIII Supply
Light for Fifteen-Room House.

For summer homes, farm houses
and residences where no electric light
service is furnished, or in homes
where a generous supply of light is
desired, the small electric light plant
will be found a genuine comfort. AS
now made the outfit is by no means
expensive and will last a lifetime with
few insignificant repairs. Many of
the machines now in common use on
farms for various purposes are really
more complicated than this.
At a recent test of two horsepow-
er gasoline engine electric light outfit
made by the Kansas state agricultu-
raj college it was found the cost for
IS 16-candlepower lights was only five
cents an hour. The engine and gen
orator received no attention wb at
ever during the ten-hour runs,
AS all the lamps in house are
never required at the same time, prob
ably one-third of the lamps would be
a liberal average to use-a two horse
power outfit is competent to take csre
of a 15-room house with, say, so
lamps. OF the two a mower or a
sewing machine is much more diff
cult TO operate than the lighting
plant.

SMALL GIRLS F'ARTY DRESS.
Combination of White Jap Silk With
Pale Pink Sateen.

White Jap silk over pale pink mercer
ised sateen is employed for this dress;
the silk and foundation are made up
separately. The silk skirt is very full,
being closely gagged across the hips
and back three or four times; the cen
ter front is left plain; the lower part
is trimmed with two wide bands of
lace ipsertion divided by trimming
of knotted pink ribbon. The silk is cut
away from the back of the lace so that
it might be quite transparent, showing
the pink foundation clearly; the foot
is edged with gauged frill of the silk
put on with little heading.
The bodice is a simple blouse shape
with narrow yoke formed of lace
insertion; to this the silk is gagged
four times; over the shoulders are bre-
telles of pink ribbon which form loops
passed through circles of tiny pink
roses. The waistband is also of pink
ribbon. The short puffed sleeves are

Combinations In coIors.

Grays with the brownish smoke
tinge have undeniable distinctions,
and though rather hard in cloth, are
deliciously soft in velvet and in such
sheer material as chiffon cloth or Iet.
The soft, smoky gray harmonizes
beautifully with certain shades OF
pink, and especially in the new mill
linery the combination is favorite.
A felt or velvet hat in pale creamy
pink, swathed in smoke-gray tulle
and trimmed in mass of beautiful
smoke-gray plumes, is charming
thing, and frequently gray velvet Is
substituted for tulle. All pink hats
in this same creamy tone and also
exceedingly chic and when made up
In felt or velvet trimmed In pluEies
will be worn with dark or neutral Wis
iting costumes quite as often as In
evening.

To Harness Victoria Falls.

The proposal to transmit electricity
generated at the Victoria Falls to Pre-
toria and johannesburg is taking
shape, and first issue of capital will,
1T is said, be announced within the
next few weeks. The distance from
the falls to the Rand as the crow
flies is 600 miles, but it will be necer-
sary to make deviations that will in
crease the distance to be covered to
nearly 700 miles. The extraordinary
pressure of 100000 volts is proposed.
AT the outset provision is to be made
for 10000 horsepower, but this may b,
be increased as necessity arises.

STYLES FOR COMING SEASONS.
Empire and Directoire Fashions Are
to Remain With Us.

Much Importance always attaches
itself to the sartorial display at the
winter resorts as showing the trend
toward fashions for the coming spring
and summer.
Indications point to several radical
changes and many innovations along
present lines, so that unless one is
southwark bound one should be wary
of laying in a new stock of wearing
apparel while Dame Modes mind Is
in its present unsettled state. There
is, however, such a decided tendency
toward the Empire and Directoire
styles shown even in the new lingerie
creations that it is safe to count upon
the general lines of these two types
to appear in all of the spring toilettes.
Neither the Directoire nor the Empire
pure and simple has found very mark
ed favor with American women, but
their notifications do appeal to them
most conveniently.
This means another season in which
fashion allows wide scope, for no
models ever admitted of so many vari-
ations without in any way losing the
stamp of the original design, and
hence there still remains no excuse
for the unbecomingly dressed woman.
In the Directoire type of skirt the
breadths are carried up from the bot
tom to three or four inches above the
waist line in gradually widening lines,
and instead of being mounted in
waist band are either piped or hem
med over with the drop. OF course,
this applies to the long skirt exclusive
ly, as in walking length it would be
extremely awkward. The waist to be
worn with this style skirt suggests a
bolero of some tn years back. 1t is
cut up in the center back to the shape
of the skirt, while the front is made
to blouse ever but so slightly. This
necessitates a vest front of some sort,
and gives opportunity for variety of
effects several, even for the same
gown, as these fronts may be made
removable.
One of the recent models showing
these lines is of panne voile, a pastel
shade of green bordering on the sage
tinge. The skirt has II cores, each
| joined to the other with a piping of
! green velvet shade darker than the
dress material. Near the foot, set in
| diagonally at each breadth, are three
straps of velvet, each decorated with a
tiny bronze button. The top OF the
skirt is piped also, and cut in a point,
to which the bolero is shaped In the
front this bolero is rounded abruptly
from the neck, droops a little just in
| front and almost conceals the gold
embroidered vest underneath. The
sleeves show a very graceful arrange
ment of lace beneath bell-shaped ones
of the cloth. with turned-back cuffs OF
the embroidery. Another model show.
ed de Medicis collar, which leads us
to believe that it, too, will return to
its own by another season. 1t is too
ultra 10 be more readily accepted, and
too generally unbecoming to be re
ceiyed without some modification to
recommend 1t.

"EIectrlc steeIv in Germany.

The Heroult electric process for the
production of steel is now in practical
operation at Remscheid Haston in
Germany, and it is reported that the
steel produced is much superior in
many ways to that made by older
methods. Steel of great purity and
homogeneous quality is made from or
binary scrap iron rubbish, melted, and
then subjected to the action of an
electric oven, in which the necessary
carbon, manganese, nickel and other
substances required to produce steel
of various qualities are added to the
liquid metal. The oven has a capa-
city of from one and one-half to two
tons, and is heated by. current Of
100 volts. The new steel is said to
be stronger and more resistant than
the old-fashioned crucible steel.

on to compete with men in the world
of art and letters, says a writer in
the Chicago American.
Yet nearly everyone can recall in
stances where girls who were unde-

attractive figures, have been more
popular in society and made better
marriages than have some acknowl-
edged beauties in their own set.
The secret is that tie plain girl
knows that she must exert herself II
she would enter the competition with
her more charming sister The latter
has been endowed with certain
charms-the plain girl has to create

miles. Through jungles, across des-

This just means that plain girl
