THE NEW MOTOR CAPS.

The distinction between the motor cap
of yesterday and today Is that the latter
has quite a voluminous crown, as often as
not cut in curved quarters.
Also colored tussore Is perhaps the
choicest material that is used, and, owing
to the pretty soft shades in which 1t is
found, results in most becoming head
wear.
An instance is of one of these caps in
sparrow's-egg blue with a soft blue satin
rosette to one side of the front, worn with
supreme success by a lovely dark woman
with a clear ivory complexion.
This special shade of blue seems to have
been specially invented for women of this
particular type.

CERAMIC WORK FOR WOMEN

If a woman lives within a reasonable
distance of an industry, she should take
up the study of ceramic work. Pottery
ware has been modelled in thousands and
thousands of different patterns, and
women seem to excel In the inventive
field for making new and novel patterns.
1t calls for close application to the work,
an eve for the artistic and a daintiness of
the sculptor and artist. One can fashion
many pretty pieces at home If provided
with clay, washes and kiln In which to
fire the pieces. A teacher always has
an apparatus of this kind, especially when
teaching painting. The burning process
is the most difficult. and 1t lakes time and
patience to learn how to properly do the
work.

A TINY SPOOL BOX.

The large spools of baby ribbon in pink,
blue and white are absolute necessities to
a woman's wardrobe, for when Is 1t a
woman is not wanting a little piece of rib
bon for some of her dress articles? A lit
tie present was given at a linen shower
which was decidedly neat, clever, and, un-
duubtedly. appreciated. A small white
linen box which just held three large
spools of ribbon was lined with pink satin,
The corners OF the box were held together
with baby ribbon stitched on both edges
with the cross stitch in pink silk floss.
The box lid closed with a flap and but
ton, while the top was decorated with a
small bunch of pink ribbon geraniums.
Every bit of the work was lone by hand,
and the little box was very ornamental
indeed, beside being useful.

MIRRORS ARE BEST

In the mirrors of today the light is re-
fiected by a layer of silver or an amalgam
of tin, but a proportion of light is lest in
the process of reflection, and the image
is less luminous than the original, The
value of a looking glass is usually esti-
mated by the thickness of the glass, be-
cause the thicker it is the stronger 1t
must be. But speaking scientifically thick
glasses are defective, because the outlines
of the image reflected are less clearly de-
fined. An ideal mirror is one with a per
fectly fiat surface. But it is only possible
to obtain this result In comparatively
small glasses. The larger glasses do moi
reflect a true image, because they cannot
be made fat.

THE PARTY CALL.

When you have been entertained at a
dinner, you owe your hostess a visit with

call, which is a courtesy and kindness due
the hostess for her graciousness to you.
If one calls and the lady is not at home,
by leaving a card one has fulfilled the

is absolutely impossible for the guest to

speaking of Cats.

A recent paper expressed much sur
prise over the fact that a woman has
engaged in an active campaign against
the house cat. on the ground that il
is a menace to birds and a definite
factor in their rapid disappearance.
I do not think the case is so remark
able, do you? l know several women
who annot bear to even look at a cat,
so great is their antipathy for these
usually petted animals. One woman in
particular has such a horror Of them
that h will not stay in the room with
h smallest kitten, no matter how
peacefully 1t might be sleeping. When
asked why she hated them she tried as
best she could to give a good e%xplana-
ton, and this is what she said: 30,
they are SO quiet, and so soft, and you
never know when they are gong to put
out their claws from under their soft
cushions of feet. They are entirely
too creepy" and she summed up this
truly feminine reason with a truly
feminine shhdder.
I honestly think she would have an
attack of Mysteries if a cat should
chance to jump in her lap.
Nowadays this time-honored domes-
tic pet is not looked upon with such
respect as was accorded it in other
times. People blame it for carrying
many disease germs beneath its silky
coat. and for this reason 1t has been
prohibited the homes of many

That you label your own work.
That few succeed until they try.
That work IL only a means; character is

Is there anything In the world sweetei

they do, IN my opinion, the stranger has q
right to feel himself honored.

there is at least one more person who
shares the same opinion.

Growing Use of Gas Engines.

The Allis-Chalmers company has
received from the United States steel
corporation, the steel trust, an order
for the largest number and the larg-
est type of gas engines ever placed
with one concern in the history Of
the engine building business.
The orders thus far booked call
for thirty-six engines, aggregating
$4,000 horse power, and weighing
1 10000 pounds each.
The great bulk and weight of these
engines may be gathered from the
fact that a total of $500 freight cars
will be required to transport them
TO the various plants of the steel
trust. The contract calls for the
delivery of the engines as follows:
Twenty-Five engines will be installed
in the mammoth new plant now be-
ing built at Gary, Ind; seven will
go TO the famous Homestead, Pa,
plant, and four will be shipped to
the Illinois Steel Company at South
Chicago.
The United States Steel Corpora
tion has discovered q process where
by the gas from its blast furnaces.
which now goes to waste, may be
used as power for its engines.
The adoption of the gas engine by
the steel trust opens up another field |
for this comparatively new engine.
During the past year the Allis-Chal-
mers Company has supplied many |
large users of power with gas en-
gines of high capacity, and in some
instances, as in tho case OF tho Mil
waukee-Northern Railway, their en-
yines have invaded folds hitherto
,losed to them.-Milwaukee Free
