OF the fire Is unknown, but there Is
"a snpposition that 1t was started by
boys smoking cigarettes near the
building The fire was discovered

the department the entire building

two story structure, was doomed the
firemen turned their attention to
the protection OF adjoining property.
The roof was burned off negro cab

barn at the rear OF the residence
owned by J. F. Wyatt and occupied
by Mrs. J. NJ. Cumby as boarding

and part OF the framework OF the
structure were burned as was the
lot fence. Two or three telephone
poles were nearly burned down and
several wires were melted in two.
The spread Of the fire to Mrs. Cum

only by the heroic work OF bucket

their loss on plant and stock at

HANGING PICTURES.

One often finds a beautiful picture on
the front of magazine or in book.
and it is either framed or fastened
plainly to the wall of ones room When
a frame is not desired, the loose sheets
will soon curl and be unattractive. and
one seldom can paste a whole sheet
evenly upon cardboard to make the
picture presentable. The best way to
do is TO get a very heavy piece Of card
board and cut an inch strip the width
of the picture. Paste a strip at the TOP
of the picture and one at the bottom
The top one supports the hanger. while
the lower one is sufficiently heavy to
keep the picture against the wall

VELVET.

Velvet is quite the fabric OF the sea-
son, of the miroir persuasion, and in
the richest colorings. both for dresses
and for theatre cloaks, In no color does
velvet look so superb as in the deep
amethyst purple. and old lace is it's
natural complement. Old lace is. in
deed. to be worn by all those fortunate
enough to possess it. and for evening
wear it is even leading to the exclusion
of jewels by the fastidious Parisenne.
The jewels that go best with old lace
are pearls. so perfectly in accord they are
with it's mellow tints and fragile lowell
ness. The velvet spencer is being re-
vlved for wear with the lace robe. for
everything in the shape of a bodice
fashion, especially in the matter of
sleeves, for they now define carefully
tn shape of the arm. and no longer run
to puffs and fulness. The three-quarter
length sleeve still exists, but the long
sleeve is rapidly gaining the favor of
the majority.

WHAT Is FASHIONABLE.

Large hats crowned with many
plumes OF ostrich feathers. velvet
gowns with long. flowing trains. and
dainty lace blouses more or less elabor-
ately adorned and frightened with
threads OF gold and silver are some of
the latest ideas OF fashion.
In all the newest hats for the autumn
there is a tendency toward something
higher and wider in the way of
crown. Some of the very latest hats in
Paris. in satin and in velvet. are be-
ing made with high crowns, exactly
similar TO the jampot shapes Of years
gone by. With the wide brims. these
high crowns are quite in keeping, and
some of them look very effective when
the hats are carried out in black velvet,
and the crowns are looped with chains
of big jet beads.
In spite of their long continued popu-
lartiy during the summer months,
striped fabrics are stiu being largely
used for the simpler kind of tailor
made coat and skirt costume. On most
of these the striped fabrics are used by
way of trimming cut on the cross. so
that the lines run diagonally. In nine
cases out of ten the coats are made
with cutaway fronts. bound with silk
military braid. This braid frequently
forms the only kind of trimming, but
in some instances it is very effectively
supplemented by a collar, revers. and
cuffs in velvet. bordered just at the
edge with wide silk braid.
There IS singular charm this au-
tumn about the new fashions in fur.
Not only are the skins very lovely in
themselves. but they have been treated
in so many new ways. and arranged
with such extraordinary ingenuity, and
in so many artistic and charming ways,
that they seem to be infinitely more at
tractive even than they were last year
Touches of velvet are cleverly intro
duced here and there, daintily braided
in colors or lightly embroidered in gold
or silver, while on many of the love-
Hest and most luxurious of the new fur
garments, quantities of real lace are
lavishly introduced preference being
given to fine Irish crochet and to
! Brussels point.
Ermine remains as ever. a very ia
vorite fur, and it would be difficult to
find anything daintier or more charm

THE TOILET TABLE.

Do you brush your eyebrows care
fully night and day? This is one of the
little details of the toilet. which care
fully attended to. will soon repay you
There are, of course, innumerable small
brushes for this purpose which can be
bought, but fine, soft smooth brush
will answer just as well. Thin eye
brows can be improved by rubbing in
almond or olive oil. but both must be
perfectly and absolutely pure.
The arched eyebrow is the mark of
beauty. whereas the eyebrows which
meet over the nose are not only very
opposite. but in foreign countries are
associated with misfortune by the SUI
perstitious. They can be corrected by
the judicious use of repiliators. but
none of these are permanent.
1t has been said that clipping the
eyelashes will cause them to grow
long and thick. The ugliest, stiffest
eyelashes we have ever seen were made
so by this idea, which the unfortunate
possessor had heard about in her
younger years and tried When the
lashes began to grow back they We're
harsh and stiff and before they grew
out she really suffered from the eye

lashes afforded.
The practice of darkening the eyes
underneath comes from Arabia, it is
said, and was prescribed by Mahomet
for the Arabian women as a protection
from the glaring desert suns. The
practice has remained even through
the ages, but we rejoice that it has lost
and is constantly losing its appreciative
followers.
Nothing is more unattractive than in
famed evelids, but there is nothing
which should be so carefully handled as
the eyes, and only by those have made
this sensitive organ practically a life
study. Eye strain results in nervous
ness and acute pain and headache. and
every precaution should be taken
against 1t. While reading or sewing
or writing steadily it is very restful
to look up now and then from ones
work, changing the focus which rests

PLEATED SKIRT NOW.

Now that we are not to have any
hips the full pleated skirt is not such
a bugbear as 1t might be. Everything
from heavy cheviot TO the sheerest chif-
fon can be pleated and stitched very
fat and we'll pressed; then cut away
the goods from under the pleat, thus
reducing the bulk about waist and hips.
Clifton and other thin goods are simply
laid in deep pleats and blind-stitched
down. This goods cannot be cut away,
as it would show through. but by lay
ing the pleats in accurately and press
ing them properly, they do not add to
the apparent size of the wearer.

REMOVING MILDEw FROM LINEN.

The case is never hopeless in remov-
ing mildew from linen. Use equal
parts of soft soap and water and let
1t boil. If the soap is very thick ii
may be necessary TO use double the
quantity of water, Wet the linen in
this, putting it in when dry and take it
out as wet as possible. Then put it
out on clean place in the open sun
light and sprinkle table salt thickly
over it, Keep watch of it. and as it
becames dry sprinkle with very fine
watering pot, so as TO keep 1t wet. but
do not put on enough water TO wash
off the soap and salt. Let it remain
out day and night and the mildew VIII
gradually disappear.
