For Mourning Wear.

One modiste declares that women
who are in mourning are in perpetual
indecision as to what is proper to
wear and what is not The attraction
of the colored gown is undeniable
And, after her long wearing of black,
woman looks forward eagerly to
putting on something more cheerful,
but there are proprieties to be OBJ
served. And it is here that the fine
trick of the dress artist can be noted.
For the benefit of the woman who
has worn black for year or more
there may be given some fashion rules
for the guidance of her wardrobe
One of these is that she may wear all
the gold jewelry she owns and all the
JET She may also wear silver, gun
metal, gold antiques and all other Or
naments that are not set with colored
stones.
Diamonds and pearls are permissible
in all but the deepest mourning, and
for second mourning there now comes
some pretty jewelry in violet enamel.

HANDY IN SEWING ROOM.
Cotton-HoIder Will Be Found Useful
In Emergencies.

A neat device for holding three
reels of cotton, with places also for
scissors and a thimble, may be seen
In our illustration. In cases of emer-
gency, when button needs to be
sewn on in a hurry, or when one
wants to repair torn braid on the
hem of skirt, it is great convent
ence sometimes to have these re-
Quisites hanging in handy place near
the dressing-table. A strong piece of
millboard is needed for making this
useful cotton-holder, and it would look
pretty cut in the shape of a heart as
the sketch indicates. It should be cov-
cred smoothly with art serge, back
and front, and bordered with a pleat-
ed frill of ribbon. The reels Of cotton
are ingeniously attached to the heart
shaped board by loops of ribbon tied

CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by Cuticura.

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by a very prominent ply
sician for an obstinate case of eczema,
resorted to the Cut1cura Remedies,
and was so we'll pleased with the al
most instantaneous relief afforded that
we discarded the physicians prescrip-
ton and relied entirely on the Cuti-
cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Gu
t1cura Pills. When we commenced
with the Cuticura Remedies her feet
and limbs were covered with running
sores. In about six weeks we had her
completely well, and there has been
no recurrence of the trouble.
I'm July of this year a little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were
mass of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, and in
about three weeks his hands and arms
healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas.

Sang at Her Work.

A well known clergyman relates
that while on a recent visit to Shrop-
shire he was in small town where
owing to the scarcity of good servants
most Of the ladies preferred to do their
own work.
He was awakened quite early by the
tones of a clear soprano voice singing
Nearer, My God, to Thee" AS the
clergyman lay in bed he meditated
upon the piety his hostess must pos
sess which enabled her to go about
her tasks early in the morning sing
ing such noble hymn.
At breakfast he spoke to her about
it and told her how pleased he was.

WHERE IT IS REALLY COLD.
A Country Where Lighted Candle Fine

A Country Who're Lighted Candle Finds
1t Very Hard to Keep Warm.
From the Popular Science News.
Cold is merely a relative term. The
resident of semitropical countries
shivers when the thermometer falls to
so degrees, while the Laplander and
Esquimau think it is comfortable at
zero. For real cold and plenty of it.,
one must go to the Polar regions. Think
of living where the mercury goes down

a case, fur garments are piled Oh until
a man looks like great bundle of

tion of 1876, among other odd
things, tells of the effect of cold on a
wax candle which he burned there.
The temperature was IS degrees below
zero; and the doctor must have been
considerably discouraged when, upon
looking at his candle, he discovered
that the flame had all it could do to
keep warm. It was so cold that the
flame could not melt all the wax Of the
candle, but was forced to cut it way
down, leaving sort Of skeleton Of the
candle standing There was heat

plicity of design is not very congru.
Gus with their cost, but they are ex-
tremely effective. Silk gowns are much
liked for churchgoing, but checks and
stripes, growing more pronounced as
the season advances, prevail even in
this fabric. Checked and striped silks
require little trimming, but they must
be carefully treated. A stiff silk volu-
minously plated and standing out in
all directions is not artistic to look
upon. The flowing lines seen in some
modified empire models are very pref

Right Foot on the Rail.

In every police station in the city

The Redinuote AGAIN.

From Paris comes word that the
very latest fad of the ultra-fashion-
ables is the loose-fitting, unlined red
ingote of mousseline, deliberately SOU
tached. This filmy garment, though
not cut full and loose, does not cling
closely to the figure, but falls in a
soft, vague outline suggesting the
lines of the figure beneath.
The soutache embroidery is very
heavy and elaborate at the bottom,
running up upon the body of the coat
in lighter and more scattered designs,
and the neck and loose draped sleeves
are bordered in heavy design. Worn
over white summer frocks this red
ingote, either in black or white, prom
ises to be one of the faVorite fancies
of the Parisians, who speak the last
word on the seasons fashions, but
the garment is too extreme and too
costly to find acceptance with any
other class.

TOUCHES OF VANITY
DECORATIVE ART As APPLIED
TO DRESS.
Embroidered Just Now Are Popular
Work That in Many Cases Can
BE Done Very Effectively
at Home.

New embroideries hold marvellous
possibilities for the woman who does
such work skilfully herself, and at the
same time much expense can be
avoided. Fancy work shops are going
more and more into the business Of
stamping medallions and designs for
trimming smart frocks, and for few
cents extra it is even possible to get
experts to start the work and assert
the colors for one.
In some of the crash linens there
are remarkable examples of the prin-
ciples of decorative art applied to
dress. The conventional designs are
outlined with macrame Irvine, or So
called linen cord, and filled in with
sep1a and silver in fiat tones In one
very charming gown, linen crash,
both belt and sacque are designed to
accompany the dress, which has plait-
ed skirt and bolero, both exquisitely
embroidered in macrame. The blouse
Is of grass linen, touched with mac
rame Irvine and dashes OF red en-
broidery. To the toilette is added a
charming hat, also in crash, with very
effective folds to 1T the crown into
the brim. Naturally a parasol accom-
panies the costume, the linen in keep
ing with the rest and the handle in
crusted with stones to match the belt
buckles and sacque mountings; self
lined and interlined, trimmed and re-
trimmed and yet not overdone
Somehow hats and parasols are
very closely allied to each other this
season, and frequently the same carry
out the same color scheme and the
same decorative scheme as far as the
two can be consistently associated.
Leghorn hats, with their flower-laden
brims, suggest lovely embroidered
embellishments for sunshades of silk,
lace or chiffon, and are offered as the
browning touch to the summer cos
tune.
The fiat crown, broad brim sailor is
one of the most popular shapes. The
newest examples show it trimmed d.
immense bows OF taffetas, the edges
stitched and stinened with feather
bone and the effect being that Of a
huge bird poised for flight. White
taffeta is used on hats of every color,
and next to white green seems a
strong favorite. 1t is certainly the
shape for summer, and the peacock"
and parrot green's show the most
striking examples of the tones that
fashionable Parisiennes like best.
A mutual advantage is gained for
each trimming when embroidery and
valenciennes lace are combined. The
tendency to use combination of wide
embroidered founcing and narrow in
sertions of valenciennes or Cluny lace
grows. Regular alienation Of lace
and embroidery or of lace and cluster
tucks have given way to certain ir-
regular lines of trimming that have
hitherto prevailed, and look very
charming.

FEET OUT.
She Had Curious Habits.

When a person has to keep the feet
out from under cover during the cold
est nights in winter because of the
heat and prickly sensation, it is time
that coffee, which causes the trouble,
be left off,
There is no end to the nervous con-
ditions that coffee will produce. It
shows in one way in one person and in
another way in another. In this case
the lady lived in S. Oak. She says:
Il have had to lie awake half the
night with my feet and limbs out of
the bed on the coolest nights, and felt
afraid to sleep for fear of catching
cold. I had been troubled for years
with twitching and jerking of the
lower limbs, and for most of the time
have been unable to go to church or to
lectures because of that awful feeling
that must keep on the move.
when It was brought to my atten-
ton that coffee caused so many ner-
vous diseases, I concluded to drop
coffee and take Postum Food Coffee to
see II my trouble was caused by coffee
drinking. re-.

breakfast but that was enough to do
the business for me. When I quit It

Roosevelt, James Bryce. the British
ambassador and Andrew Carnegie de-

negro race today. The occasion was
the installation of Rev. Wilbur Patter-
son Thirkeild as president of Howard
University. and the celebration of the
fortieth anniversary Of the foundation
al the institution which is devoted to
the higher education of the negro.
President Roosevelt admitted the
hardships encountered by the negro in
his efforts towards advancement.
Mr.. Bryce pointed to the develop

~ years as being marvellous compar-

the declaration that il was not now a
question of What shall we do with
the negro" but How can we get more

years. principally during the time
that has elapsed since the emancipa-
ton proclamation. the colored citizens
of the country have accumulated prop

worth of taxable property. During the
same forty years they have been MAX

there are 100000 homes owned and

proof positive that they have made a
long struggle. long strides along the
path of good citizenship"
