The Poor RIch.


During the past eight months the
rich have had hard time. A railroad
director said recently that 1T is a
great deal harder for a man who has
been living at the rate of two hundred
thousand year to get down to a fifty
thousand-a-year standard than it is
Tor a man who has been living on SIS
week TO get along on So" This must
be SO because the fifteen-dollar man
has got along on ten so often that it
Is easy, like any habitual privation.
The multi-milli onaire is a green hand
at economizing, and should be pitied
by the expert poor. But he gets no
sympathy, and in one respect deserves
none. Only this summer a Newport
tradesman announced publicly that he
would not give his rich customers
more than 80 days time in which to
pay for the corned beef, prunes, salt
Goldfish and other delicacies that bend
their tables. The curse Of the rich is
their poverty, and 1t is pity to see
them ground down by tradesmon. OF
course it is hard that in summer, when
the rich are taken from the slums and
sent for fresh air to Newport and
other resorts, they have to be troubled
with bills. But holidays have their
responsibilities as well as their relax
atoms. A story comes to the Youths
Companion of wealthy man to whom
bill was brought on Christmas morn.
ing. This seemed to him an outrage,
but when he went to the door, tuning
with protest, he found a boy, who
said: Sorry to trouble you, boss, but

our Christmas dinner"

iainty boudoirs. The correct thing

Dresser and table covers, cushions
OF all sizes and descriptions, bags and
cases for the thousand and one details
or a woman's toilet are all made of
linen and lace or embroidery over a
colored silk lining.
To be sure, lingerie novelties are far
more costly to buy than the exquisite
lowered ribbon ones were, but when
they are made at home they are less
expensive if the materials alone are
counted. The high price of lingerie
bags and cases is due to the time de-

which adorns even the smallest work
bag.
Sheer linen squares embroidered in
the corners or medallions of real lace

are lined with pink, blue or mauve
silk and drawn up with ribbons to
match. These make dainty holders
for soiled handkerchiefs or are equally
servfceable as work bags. Baskets for
hairplns, ribbons and knickknacks are
covered with embroidered linen and
lined with silk. The handles are
twisted with ribbons and a lace fril-
ling finishes the rim of the basket top

Cushions made with alternating dia.
monds Of filet lace and embroidery are
used in sizes ranging from the tiny
oblong baby pillow to the large couch

the covers are fastened on with rib

present for boudoir lingerie articles.

tables and for bed and window

For pincushions plain satin ribbons
still hold sway. The introduction of a
filet square or medallion on the top of
one of these ribbon cubes or rectangles
is considered an Improvement and
much daintier than lowered ribbon.
A useful little lingerie case isl made
with a linen-covered disc for til e bot
tom. To this is gathered a width of
sheer linen about six inches wide and
having an embroidered and scalloped
edge. A slit is left in the side through
which the end of the bolt or spool or
ribbon is permitted to hang. The top
of the bag is gathered with a narrow
ribbon.

tie trouble, and in our sketch we show
a more simple method of attaining
this object. 1t may be applied to any
cushion already made, and consists
OF two little bags filed with shot or

of a suitable shape would answer the
purpose) attached to the upper cor

or five inches in length. These
weights hang over the top of the chair
and so keep the cushion in position.
Small linen or canvas bags can be
used for the shot, and they can be
covered with material to match the
cushion and decorated with smart
little bows of ribbon. In the sketch
the plain linen or canvas bag is shown
on one side, and on the other it is dec

with material. The small sketch at
the top explains how the cushion
should be hung upon the chair.

Touch of Black.

Just little touch of dark upon a
dress, coat or hat adds very much to
the attractiveness of the articles.
This is found great deal this season
upon the hat which will be furnished
with band Of black under the brim,
while the large rosette is finished
with a swaying bunch of black
aigrettes. Upon the waist it has been
found that the black sash is giving a
touch of elegance scarcely expected
from novelty. 1t crosses the waist
in surplice fashion, forms a girdle and
is loosely tied upon the right hip.
Narrow bands of black will be OBJ
served as hem trimming upon net
waists and many voile dresses are re.
splendent with black features, and
diminutive collars are stitched with
black brier stitch. Small black but
tons are found upon vests, coats,
dresses and street hats.

PRoISNGs LIFE OF SHEETS.
Simple Idea Which Means a Doubling
of Their Usefulness.

Every good housewife is interested
IN the care of sheets, and many of
them will like to hear a few sugges-
tons made by an economical and
clever woman.
She said: 81 never have nv sheets
made with small hem on one end.
There is always a three-inch hem on
Doln ends-so there is no top or bot
tom-and the sheets wear Just twice
as long as they otherwise would. 1t is
not dlfhcult to do, for l always have
my sheets made in the house by a
seamstress, so they will be the right
size. And, speaking of size, do you
know what to do when ready-made
linen sheets are too short for the
beds?"
OF course, did not, so she told me
that false hem might be added, and
either fagoted or hemstitched to the
one already on the sheet In this way
the sheet could be easily made as long
as desired, and the embroidery only
added to the beauty of the sheet.
This is certainly very useful infor-
nation, for many mother has tall
boy who is constantly complaining
- lat the sheets are too short. The ad-
dition of the false hem is quickly
done, and the extra material required
does not form very large item in the
family expense account.

Increase in the number of college
degrees may not in itself be a good
sign. The progressive decrease since
1900 of the number Of medical diplo-
mas awarded means a great gain in
the quality of the men intrusted with
the health of their fellow men. In
1906 over $4,000 men and women re-
ceived the degree M. D. In 1907 the
number dropped a thousand. and this
year the decrease was sixteen hun.
dred. During the year several medical
schools not in good repute were
closed. Most of the great medical
colleges require an A. B. degree or its
equivalent for entrance. "Half-baked"
professional men are no use to the
community, and even when the stan
dards OF the medical schools are high,
there will be plenty Of incompetent
men in the profession.

CANNOT INJURE STOCKINGS.
New Supporter for siken Hose That
Will Be Welcomed.

There is Paris novelty that will
delight the heart of the woman who
delights in silken hose It is a new
stocking supporter, and it is so reason.
able and practical that believe it will
leap into favor.
1t consists of little arrangement of
silk cord-so simple that any woman
might make ito be attached to the
elastic in place of the little metal
grips" so universally used.
One end of the cord is passed
through crochetted ring, the other
through an oblong link; the cord is
then doubled and knotted so that the
link hangs a trifie higher than the
ring.
To adjust this new contrivance the
ring is placed under the edge of the
stocking end, and when the oblong
link is slipped over both stocking and
ring-just like a buttonhole over a
button-the stocking is incapable of
slipping
The handling is so gentle and there
Is so much play for the fabric that the
threads Of the daintiest hose have no
excuse for breaking and running.

Ever since the passage Of the pure
food law, manufacturers have com
planned OF the injustice of denying
them the use of the small amount Of
preservatives necessary to keep Ger.
tain kinds Of food products from fer
meRtation or other form of deteriora-
ton. Prof. Wiley Of the bureau Of
chemistry in the department of agri-
culture has appointed pure food COM
mittee, to represent the different
states having pure food laws, the OBJ
ject Of which will be to harmonic the
state laws with the laws of the gov
eminent. The committee will also,
without doubt, define what is a safe
amount of preservative to be used. It
rs said that there has been an increase
OF ptomaine-poisoning since the pure
food law went into effect, but perhaps
the st2tement, like some Of the food
products, can best be taken with a
grain OF sailor Of boracic acid.

Cushion Design to Fit a Wicker or
Any Other Chair.

The comfort of a cushion for ones
head In wicker or other chair, has
only one drawback. and that is, that
whenever we move the cushion is liza
BILE to slip out of place. To meet this
difficulty, many little devices have
been suggested, such as making
