Dress Accessories.

After all is said and done, the sue
cess of gown is very largely depend
ent upon the accessories that accom-
pany it.
Gloves, shoes, hosiery, parasol, veil,
belt and the numberless other small
detailS-each of them has the power
to make or mar a costume. This the
really well-dressed woman knows, and
it is here that she scores over her
Shorter-sighted sisters. She recognizes
the Importance Of these sadly misun-
derstood minor details, and gives par
ticular attention to them. She knows
intimately what sort of footwear may
appropriately accompany each separate
gown, what veil and how to arrange
it, and so on through the whole cate
CORY of small belongings, and she in
sists upon having these things and
wearing them precisely as they should
be worn.
To know how TO put on the graceful
finishing touches is an art in itself.
Even the woman to whom artistic
gowning is heaven-born instinct, and

ed with a well-filled purse, finds it nee
essary to study carefully the little nov
elites that are continually being
brought forth to tempt her.

Lincoln and worden.

A Lincoln story which has perhaps
never befOEe~been printed is told by
one who had it from the lips of Rear
Admiral John L. Worden, who. as lieu
tenant, commanded the Monitor in its
fight with the Merrimac. When the
Monitor was in process of construction,
there was considerable discussion at
Washington as to who should command
1t. AS the vessel was in SO many WAYS
an experimental craft, it was felt to
be not entirely 4 proper thing to order
any one to take charge of it, and the
idea of calling for volunteers was con-
sidered. A friend of Lieutenant Wor-
den, however, suggested his name. He
was asked If he would take the COM
mand, and he gladly accepted 1t.
When he had made the emergency
run from New York, on the receipt Of
news that the Merrimac was Destroy
ing the Union fleet, and after he had
defeated the Confederate ironclad,
Lieutenant Worden was taken. wound
ed and unconscious, from his ship. and
escorted back to Washington by the
same friend who had suggested his
name-an officer on duty at navy head
quarters. At this friends house he was
cared for.
On the morning after the battle at
Hampton Roads. President Lincoln and
the members of his cabinet held a meet
ing to consider the various aspects OF
the battle, and the naval officer was
called in, as witness Of the battle. to
describe it.
Where is Lieutenant WOrden now?"
asked the President
AT my house, sir" replied the officer.
The President reached for bis hat. and
Il moment later the meeting adjourned
II don't know what you gentlemen
are going to do" he said, but for my
part am going to pay my respects to
the young man who fought the battle"
He went directly to the sick-room
where Worden lay, blindfolded and in
great pain. Without speaking. he
reached out his great hands and folded
them over one or NOrdenS.
Some one told the lieutenant that Il
was President Lincoln who had come.
You do me great honor, sir" he
said. President Lincoln strOked his
hand.
You need no man to do you honor.
lieutenant" he said, "fOr you have done
great honor TO yourself and to your
country"
In all his life thereafter Admiral
Worden declared that nothing ever
moved him Us did the grasp OF the
Presidents hands and the deep. thrill
ing sympathy in his voice. In the
course of that visit President Lincoln
told tie lieutenant that promotion was
awaiting him.

Why Women Talk Much.

A French specialist and an English
authority have been engaged in an in
teresting controversy about the causes
of loquacity in the fair sex. They are
agreed as to the existence Of the con-
dition, but not as to its cause. The
Frenchman believes that women like
to talk because of the peculiar forma-
ton of their larnyx. mot So" retorts
the Englishman. 1.-THE larnyx has
nothing to do WITH it. 1t is the brain
and not the throat which is response
BILE. A woman is less silent than a
man because, having finer qualities of
brain, she is naturally not so great a
fool. Man is silent because he is fool
and knows it."

Acquiring Fluffy Hair.

"Ruffling'' or "roughing'' the hair, if
carefully done, will not injure it, says
one woman who speaks with author
ity. 1t is unnecessary to explain in
this day and age that to ruff means to
comb the underpart of the pompadour
backward, and thus form a cushion for
it. Then the hairdressers have any
number of articles for sale which are
warranted to make the "slickest" hair
fluffy. The best of these consists of a
string, to which is woven natural hair.
1t is pinned on the head, the hair is
combed over it, and behold, mademoi-
selle is as famboyant as to hair as pos
sible. Dampening the hair and then
pressing it here and there with the fin
gers until 1t dries is a simple method
Of obtaining waves that is effective In
the case of many a woman who thinks
her hair is hopelessly straight. The
road to a beautiful coiffure is a hard
one to "trabble,' and it takes hours of
work and planning for one with soft
hair to obtain the desired end.

This sounds ridiculous and almost in.
credible, but the very girl who laughs
at 1t may make even more absurd blum
ders. Many an accomplished woman,
when given pen and asked to sign an
important document drawn up by an
attorney or long-headed business man,
will sign it without reading it or even
asking to be informed of its contents,
only to learn afterwards by disastrous
results that she has signed away her

lady had sworn falsely. She was per-
fectly innocent Of any such intention,
but she had sworn that she had never
signed her name to a certain document.
The document was produced, and, to
her utter establishment, she saw her
signature affixed to it. She acknowl
edged at once that the signature was
hers, although she had just sworn that
she had never signed the paper In aues-
ton. 1t appeared that, during her hus-
bands lifetime. whenever papers were
to be signed, he told her where to write
her name, and she did as she was told,
without having the slightest idea Of the
contents Of the papers.

ProSresa of Dentiatry.

Though dentistry became a science
under the hand of Professor Richard
Owen as late as 1889, there are evil
dences that it was practised in crude
way by the ancients. Herodotus refers
to treatment Of the teeth by the Egyp-
tians, and evidences of attempts to
supply artificial teeth have been dis
covered In ancient skulls and mummies.
Galen was the first physician to
speak of the treatment OF troublesome
teeth, and Ambrose Pari, In his work
on surgery, in 1850, makes mention OF
the preservation Of the teeth. 1t Is
only in the last sixty years that den
tistry has become branch of surgical
science, however. Before that time
bad teeth were extracted, and mere
tooth drawing constituted dentistry
early In the nineteenth century. The
first dental school in the United States
was erected at Baltimore in 1899. In
1916 Cincinnati boasted of a similar
Institution, and in 1856 a dental school
was erected at Philadelphia.

A Subtle SutIer.

1t is an unfortunate fact that dealers
have many and devious way Of making
''perquislteS." A rather unusual trick
of getting trade is described by a sol
der in his records of the Civil War
The 210th Pennsylvania Volunteers
had a luxury in the shape of a fine
cook. Tom Hughes, the baker, was
short of stature, plump and humorous.
He kept a constant supply Of hot pies
which he dealt out TO the long string OF
men who would stand for hours wait.
ing their turns.
The tins were lifted out Of the oven
and the pres dashed into the out
stretched hands with such force as &c
break the under crust. The juices
would ooze out, trickle Scalding hot
between the fingers of the buyer, and
compel him to drop the pie.
This continually repeated trick
caused one poor fellow to lose four of
the delicious dainties in succession.
An officer, who had met with the same
misfortune, returned and demanded
another pie or his money back.
Its a trick you put up to sell as
many as you can" he said.
Now, boys" innocently exclaimed
Hughes, appealing to the soldiers, you
know me better than that You see
how it is, what a rush is always here.
You want the pies as soon as they are
baked, and baking makes them hot
You better get tin plates or boards"
"You rascal.' cried the officer, You
know very well there isn't tin plate
in the camp, nor hardly board"
He said few more things TO the
baker, with the result that no more
pies were lost.

Health and Beauty.

A red nose, especially in very
young girl, is often sign of anaemia
and requires q blood tonic to con-
quer it.
Cold water will line a thin and deli
cate skin; it should be tepid. On
the other hand the greasy skin needs it
hot and plenty of it.
The digestive machinery furnishes
the Matchmaking matter; therefore, do
not let it get out of order by overeating
and overdrinking.
When there is disagreeable odor on
the hands inevitable from the handling
of fish or onions, try washing them
mustard water.
All backward bending movements of
the body will strengthen the spine A
strong spine is a big help to n good
carriage, without which one will fall
in grace.
When feeling very tired hot water,
both inwardly and outwardly, is a great
roster. A cup of water as hot as you
can take it is as good as a tonic and
not half so injurious.
