Mendinu Wrinkles,

The best method of mending silk
gown is to use the ravellings from
the material itself, first of all, because
there can be no doubt as to your
having the exact shade-which Is not
apt to be the case even with the most
closely matched silk-and secondly
because the twist is the same and the
stitches do not show, as they will IL
the stitches are taken with thread
more tightly twisted than the woven
fibre. The place should afterward be
pressed with a heavy iron. The iron,
of course, should only be warmed,
as a hot one would leave an imprint
Of its shape.
Again, ravellings of woollen gar
ments are the only threads that will
make darn which can be concealed
perfectly. From the roll of pieces
you have take one that will give raw
ellings eight or ten inches long. If
the whole to be darned is very irreg-
ular or large baste it into as good
shape as possible with fine thread,
which may be withdrawn after the
work is completed more easily than
coarse one could be.
A very good plan is to lay a book
of piece of pasteboard under the hole,
which will enable you to draw the
edges together smoothly and fatty. A
small piece of pasteboard held under
ho x,,Giln Jor sp
help as darning ball to the heel
of a stocking, says Woman's Life.
Do not mend kid glove with sew
ing silk. for the silk cuts the kid and
shows the repair more plainly. Fine
cotton thread will give a much more
satisfactory result. If a glove is torn
put piece of silk of the correspond
ing shade under the torn part, baste
carefully so as not to reveal the
stitches, and then draw up the rent
with cotton thread.

Plea For the mot Outs"

She is persstently overworked, and,

Can't we have some pity on her, and
let her have a little fun Of the right

to get a little sad, little neurotic,

Matcrializing the Flying Dutchman.

A strange sea phantom, which very

legend of the Flying Dutchman, is
stated to have been run to earth by

seemed to be derelict vessel, or one

Vessels have run aground while try
Ing to get near this mysterious ap-
partition, under the belief that there
must be a navigable passage for it
to sail in. Now it has been finally
identified in lie Marie Strait, one OF
number of Jagged rocks. which at
five miles distance has the appear
ance of bark running under short
sails. Probably the white sails of
the visionary vessel are produced by
the sea bird whitened upper parts of

led to the lonely islet of Rockall,
which lies out in the Atlantic to the

vessel under full sail.-Westmlnste

One Way to Earn Money.

One of the least expensive and
easiest ways of earning living for a
woman to adopt is that Of dyeing. In
small towns where people have no
city faculties it is a paying invest
ment to start dyeing establishment.
It's wonderful how many old gowns,
coats, odds and ends, and even carpet
rags every housekeeper has that she
wishes dyed. One of the principal
advantages of this sort of work is
the small investment that is required
to be made. Several 10-cent packages
of dye of staple colors are all she
needs to start with.

work it is fascinating as we'll as

an this season of princess styles

Fifth avenue establishment yesterday.

ficiently difficult to keep a two-piece
garment fresh and dainty looking
when many corrections are to be
made, but with the princess gown the
difficulties double. Since 1t Is all in
one piece, several girls must work
away at the waist, while two or three
more, seated opposite, sew on the
skirt Naturally in the effort OF each
to get her work into the easiest posi-
ton and the best light, the garment
comes in for more pulling and jerk

Expressionless Faces.

It is being said of the faces OF
preesnt-day women that they lack ex-
preston. Artists sometimes tell us
that they value wrinkles. Lines in the
faces how character. How expression
less are often the photographs of cele-
brated men and women from which
all characteristic lines have been eff
faced! If miniature has to be cop
led from them, the painter is in de-
spair; he gets no likeness. So when
all faces aim at blankness the result
will be monotony. Would not this be
deplorable? 1t must be left for the
women themselves to decide whether
their faces shall be natural, lined, and
interesting, or fashionably smooth, ex'
pressionless, and fixed.-The Lady.

shades, rather than black or the more
brilliant hues.

Wealthy Swiss Woman Lived in the
Woods and Acted Like an Ape.
Scientists are greatly interested in
woman who has reverted to the
habits Of the highest apes, who, in
seven years of solitary wandering in
lonely mountains, has forgotten the
civilizing influences into which she
was born and has regained the super
acute sense of hearing and the tree
climbing power which prehistoric
man possessed.
She is widow Of a wealthy mer-
chant of Geneva. Some time before
her husbands death she deserted
their luxurious home in this city and
vanished utterly. Some whispered that
she was jealous of a certain opera
singer Others gossiped that she
gambled and had contracted debts of
which she dared not tell her husband.
Again, 1t was said that for her &C.
centricities she had been immured in
neighboring asylum.
It is known now that the woman,
who was delicately reared, went
away. She wandered into the thick
forests of Hautesavoy, a most sparse
ly settled country. There she has ex-
listed for seven years, munching nuts
and berries, seeking refuge in lonely
grottoes against the winters rigors.
Growing bolder at last, she pene-
trated to the outer edge of the forest.
Her appearance. almost demoniac,
terrified the peasants, who told the
police of the wild vision that had pre-
sented itself. She eluded the police
by darting into the thickets, which
they could not penetrate, or by swing
ing herself from one of the tree
branches far above the ground.
Even when they captured her the
police could learn nothing from her.
She mumbled jargon. She has been
positively identified. Her husband
left a fortune to her, but 1t is not
likely she will enjoy 1t, for she has
been incarcerated in an asylum
