dent. Free dentistry is again very
common and considerable part of the
population in the course Of year
takes advantage of these opportuni-
ties.
Every year, again, some new COM
fort is supplied free by the city or
private charity. Public comfort sta
tons are being installed all over the
town. The small parks, with their in
genious provision for entertaining:
have increased in numbers. Here are
to be found free games, free gymnasi-
ums, even free gardens. The recrea-
ton piers again represent an enor-
nous outlay. The free music enjoyed
nowadays by thousands would
have been considered luxury few
years ago. For the children there are,
of course, free vacations on land and
water. The man who lives on nothing
a year may, it will be seen, fill his day
very fully without spending a penny.
The question of lodging, even, has
been anticipated by the Wayfarers'
Lodge and the police station.

On Nothing a Xear

SO that weeks might be spent at these
/ free show places and by visiting them
in turn without monotony.
Education is, of course, free to all,
but perhaps it is not generally realized
how many opportunities there are out
side the schools. There are free lee
lures on every conceivable subject IN
all parts of the city. Last year up
ward of seven hundred thousand peo-
pie attended these lectures. There is,
again, plenty of free music, and much
of it of a very high class. There are
organ recitals, vocal singing, even
symphony concerts, free to all. One
department store, for instance, gives
regularly elaborate concerts, at which
prominent soloists may be heard,
which are entirely free. The man liv-
ing on nothing year obviously
should have no trouble in passing the
day and evening in elegant forms OF
entertainment
Religion is of course free. Many OF
the finest churches in New York are,
besides, open throughout the day. The
Salvation Army and the missions III
surprising numbers are also to be
found all over the city. Every creed
is thus represented in New York, SO
that men of every race may be salts
fed. Not only may one ATTEND service,
but spiritual advice may, of course, be
had for the asking. To mention the
names of the denominations represent
ed would merely be to publish direc-
ions and beliefs.
There are free bureaus where any
one looking for work may apply with
out fee of any kind. In the course OF
year thousands Of people are placed
in this way: Free legal aid is still an
other novelty which has a far wider
practical utility than is generally I'M
agined. There are several places
where application may be made and

minute wreaths of flowers linked to-

Wife Made the Suggestion.

A grocer has excellent opportunity
to know the effects of special foods on
his customers. A Cleveland grocer
has a long list of customers that have
been helped in health by leaving off
coffee and using Postum Food Coffee.
He says, regarding his own expe-
rience: 1.-TWO years ago I had been
drinking coffee and must say that I
was almost wrecked in my nerves.
Particularly in the morning I was
so irritable and upset that I could
hardly wait until the coffee was
served, and then had no appetite for
breakfast and did not feel like attend
ing to my store duties. -
zone day my wife suggested that
inasmuch as I was selling so much
Postum there must be some merit in
it and suggested that we try it. I took
home a package and she prepared it
according to directions. The result
was very happy one. My nervous
ness gradually disappeared and to-day
I am all right. I yould advise every

WAYS OF WEARING VEIL.
Several New Ones Are in Vogue at
the Present Time.

The box plated topknot to the we'd
ding veil is now the accepted fad of
fashion. Most often the upturning
p1aits are arranged in the form of a
coronet, but, again they are narrowed
together into one square. upturning
bunch of plaits, which shall have the
effect almost of a Spanish comb.
These plaits are held in place by
either a wreath of flowers or a tiara
The last, even of diamonds, is worn
by the bride who is fortunate enough
to possess one. Miss Florence Flower,
married not long ago, had her veil OF
malines, held by a gorgeous diamond
tiara. 1t was first box plated at the
crown of the head Sometimes the
hair is waved in the new, high stand
ing Partisan waves, which build the
couture up high The dainty flower
wreath is laid around this, and then
the mass of ma]ine box plaits is built
up from the back to surmolnt the
crown of the head, like the number
One advantage about this style is that
it certainly gives the bride height
should she need it,
For the bride who prefers the wide
pompadour the veil may be draped in
a small bow or sort of double little
puff or rOsettes laid fat on the crown
of the head and intertwined with her
flowers. For the girl who wears the
Greuze couture, who wears already
ribbon of white tule or gauZe inter-
threaded in her hair, with one or dou-
BILE rosettes near her ears, the veil
may be simply attached under this
couture. Young women who affect
this coiffure-of course, it is only suit
able for the most girlish type-have a
shell hairpin with a hole near the end
like needle for threading the gauze
ribbon through.

PAINTING THE LILY.
German Florists Produce Strange e.
fects BIZ the Use of Dyes.


Fashion in flowers has taken freak
turn in Germany of late and there IS
great demand in certain circles Tor
blooms of hues not found in nature.
The flowers are cut with extra long
stalks a. few hours before they reach
full maturity. Then the stalks are
put in water in which aniline dyes
have been dissolved. White carna'
tions, lilies and pansies are the easiest
to dye and give the most natural re-
suits.
AS the stalk sucks up the water the
aniline pigment is carried through the
fine vessels of the blossom and depos-
tied in it's cells, SO that after fe"
hours it's color is completely establish
ed. Sometimes strange and even beall-
full effects are secured by stopping the
coloring process before it is complete.
The white petals will then be dellcate-
" yeined with green or red-these be-
ing the colors most successfully USED.
Since the discovery that the flowers
are simply dyed there is great out
CIV among foriculturists, who pro-
nounce the process an outrageous
fraud on nature, both inartistic anu
vulgar. This does not prevent the de-
mand for the dyed flowers from
spreading.

A HOMEMADE ROSETTE.
Easily Made Affair That will Help
the Slipper.

1t is the ambition Of every girl and
young woman to own some of the
dainty satin suede slippers in white
or gay colors that are now so much in
vogue. But, unfortunately, to the av-
erage woman these slippers, especial
ly where it is necessary to have a
number of them to match different
gowns, prove an expensive luxury far
beyond the reach of moderate al
lowance.
One thrifty young person, however,
not to be daunted by obstacles, has
hit upon way of providing herself
with the most up-to-date looking slip
pers at minimum cost. She buys a
perfectly plain pair of suede slippers
of good shape, but destitute Of bow or
buckle, at less than half the cost of
the decorated ones, and then proceeds
to trim them herself with the new
knotted ribbon rosettes which are
seen on all the high-class dancing slip

muslin and does not crush and soil

shown here is the latest model, and

terial in favor at present. 1t comes
in different shades of white, cream
and pale tints of blue, pink, yellow
and lavendar.
The styles are usually the one piece
or princess effect, becoming to most
figures, and the gowns are so made
as to be easily altered if they do not
fit exactly.
The illustration has panels of tuck
ed batiste edged with Valenciennes in
sertion. The Valenciennes runs
around the points of the tucking, and
the skirt is finished with tucks of the
material. The waist shows tucking
and scroll effect in lace, with medal
lions of filet lace And the same idea
is carried out in the decoration of the
sleeves.
Another design has a yoke of filet
lace, edged with beading and scroll
work of Valenciennes, with small
tucked insertions. There is a deep
yoke of lace and beading over the
hips and the dress is finished with al.

more than 800 exhibits-oil paintings,
water colors, sculpture, engravings
and other art products. Edouard De-
taille, the great painter Of war pic

amazement at the great merit of the
work in majority of cases. A large
majority of the objects sent in will be
in the display.
THE contributors range from sub
lieutenants to generals. In the marine
section captains in the navy have sent
sea pieces and midshipmen studies Of
exotic life and scenery reproduced
from nature in Africa and Indo-China.
Gen. Michel, the commander of the
Second army corps, is represented by
a pen and ink drawing of the barracks

ture The infantry are at home IN
every part of the work, including
burnt wood and miniature painting.
