HAD TO KISS HER AUTOMOBILE.
Just before the boat train left the
st. Lazare Railway station in Paris
for Havre a luxurious automobile,
loaded with luggage bearing innu-
merable continental labels, rolled up,
; and two men and two women alight-
ed. After attending to the removal
of the baggage one of the women
impulsively kissed the smooth wood
surface of the coach to the amaze
ment of open-mouthed porters, trav-
elers and giggling urchins.
'There, couldn't help it," she eX-
claimed to a man who seemed to be
her husband. 81 know it's fright
fully common to make an exhibition
of ones feelings, but 1 must show
gratitude to the dear machine which
has given me such good times all
summer. 1t has never broken down,
never killed anybody nor anything.
! just love it.
'Louise," she said, as she turned
to the other woman in the party, "ii
you care for your sister at all you'll
look after my darling motor car
won't you, until l return next
spring."

1T CAUSES RHEUMATISM.

Too many children are seen with
short socks and bare legs in cold
weather. Mothers justify this on the
ground of its being toughening
process. This is mistake. 1t should
be unnecessary to urge mothers to
clothe the little ones as warmly as
they do themselves.

STAMPS HER OWN INITIALS.

Mrs. ks chief diversion is en-
broidering initials on face towels,
and the supreme test of her affection
is evidenced when she presents a
friend with half-dozen strips of ex-
pensive damask with the friends
monogram done in red embroidery
cotton. Mrs. X. does not go in for
old English, script cross stitch or
fancy lettering. Instead, she marks
the towels in her sprawling, stylish
hand, with pencil, and outlines them.
The effect is dashing, to say the
least.

COMBS MUST MATCH FRoCKs.

If you would be numbered among
the elect, provide yourself with jew
eled combs to match every gown
street, house and calling. Mrs. Long
worth, who has been affecting brown
this autumn to the utter annihilation
of her former favorite, "Alice blue"
has been displaying a high-backed
comb in her golden tresses, dotted
with sardonyx set in dull gold. The
side-combs are similar, only in small
er pattern. At the opera the other
night Mrs. Longworth looked her
best in pale green tulle, with gar
lands of leaves, and her hair, piled
high and adorned with little clusters
of curls, was gay with pins having
emerald tops. A big comb studded
with emeralds looked imposing. Sew
eral fashionable women have sets of
coral studded combs and hairpins to
wear with afternoon gowns, while
pearls and diamonds are common
now in fashionable throngs as tiaras
and necklaces.-New York Press.

AMERICAN GOWNS sMARTEsT.


Among the passengers who ar
rived yesterday on the American Line
steamship New York were Mrs. Stuy-
vesant Fish and her daughter.
Mrs. Fish said that she was very
glad to get back to America. She
took occasion to boost American
dressmakers when a Jealous reporter
asked her if she had brought back
many Paris clothes.
NO." smiled Mrs. Fish, 81 did
not. l brought back very few, for
the reason that tAmerican-made gowns
are far better than those one gets in
Paris. The materials are more dur
able, they are better made and the
dressmaker in this country is, to my
mind, more original in her ideas than
are the dressmakers of Paris. The
American woman is the best dressed
in the world because she is not bound
by style. She is original, and her
individuality is expressed in her gar
ments. In Paris that is not so The
women there are slaves to mode.
They are all Of pattern. New

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Men like girls who are original,
gentle and unselfish, and whose out
ward appearance indicates personal
refinement
To draw threads easily, for hem
stitching or drawn-work patterns,
rub the cloth between the fingers, or
rub little white soap on the cloth
where the threads are to be drawn.
For the girl who likes to knit and
wishes to make her brother, or other
relative, present, the new knitted
''helmet hood" to be worn with the
sweater, for skating, will prove most
acceptable.
The dainty freshness of girls
attire possesses a charm for the mas
culine beholder to far greater ex-
tent than stylish clothes. The care
of the small details, such as shoes
and gloves, is all important.-The
Circle.
