LUXURY IN A LITTLE SPACE.

Here's a novel dressing case at which
the motor person will jump for JOY,
In fact anybody who travels would
appreciate it.
It's such a little case you wouldn't think
it held much but brush and comb.
In It are a complete manicure set. comb,
brush, handglass. too brush. bottle.
soap dish, rubber case with sp0nges, wash
cloths, and nail brushes.
There is also a clothes brush, a spirit
lamp, and a gOod-sized bath towel
But the crowning novelty is a folding
rubber basin, covered with checked cloth.
which packs snugly in the bottom.
Armed with such an outfit a person
could remain highly civilized in the wilds
Of the desert.

CAP OF GERANIUMs.

Much ingenuity is shown by Partisan
women in wearing several different varie-
ties Of flowers in a combination for the
hair, yet keeping one color as the domi-
nant note. A Juliet cap Of pink ivy gera-
MUM blossoms massed together on an
invisible net foundation, with the leaves
only about the border, was worn by a
prominent woman at a ball Ropes of
pure white net, powdered with diamond
dust. and wound among the curls and

The Spring TailOr-made.

It's prettier than for years.
Light cloths in striped effects are prom
inent.
Coats are short and fit the form closely.
They fasten snugly with one or two
rows Of cloth buttons.
Each coat has two convenient little hip
pockets.
Skirts, almost without exception, are
pleated in one way or another.
Many are finished with a curved band
to simulate overskirts.
The plain coat sleeve is the only one
used for these short. tight coats.
Some, instead of a cuff, have three or
four stitched tucks, turned upward.

EPIGRAMS.

Be natural. But, If possible. be natural

An amateur is somebody who loves
something in a shallow way.
There is no necessity for telling It all.
You say more by saying less.

body. In age 1t is the key TO your soul.
The dress that makes people exclaim.

CHAFING DISH APRONS.

Most attractive are the tea and chat
ing-dish aprons bidding for favor
gifts. Very dainty little aprons may
be made at home from the demi-flouncing
in nainsook or batiste. One-half TO three
quarters Of a yard will be necessary.
For quite a short apron, eighteen inches
will be sufficient.
A strip should be taken OF the plain
end for forming the belt, IN which the
apron will be gathered, or 1t may be
shirred with a beading and sewed down
to the belt.
1t is a pretty fashion TO pick out the
pattern with mercerized cotton in a
dainty shade. Two yards of ribbon will
provide the ties.

4 NOVEL HAM DISH.

This dish is not only novel and simple,
but rich and dainty. Il is particularly
attractive when served as a salad at
luncheon or supper. Thicker a quart OF
rich milk by letting it stand in a warm,
but not hot, place over night Then put
it into a CheeseCl0th bag and let it drain
thoroughly, When it viii drip no longer,
beat the drained milk for a few minutes,
or until It is smooth and creamy: add
half a teacupful of sweet cream. with
pepper and salt to taste, and at the last
moment half a pound Of finely chopped,
cold boiled ham, from which all the fat
has been removed. Stir together thor
Oughly, and serve on crisp lettuce leaves,
garnished with sliced olives.

USEFUL MIXTURE.

This recipe viii take grease out Of car
pets. will remove paint when oil has been
used in the mixing, and viii not injure
the finest fabrics. It IS sure death to
bugs of all kinds If put in the crevices
they inhabit. Aqua ammonia, two ounces;
soft water, one quart: saltpeter. one tea
spoonful; shaving soap, one ounce finely
scraped. Mix well and let stand few
hours or days to dissolve the soap.
Shake before using. When used
pour on enough to cover any grease or
oil that has been spilled, spOnging and
rubbing well, and applying again If neces-
sary. Then wash of with clear cold wa
ter.

ROUGH ELBOWS.

Rough elbows are a great blemish to
a pretty arm, and they should be avoided
by every dainty girl. Avoid leaning on
the elbows. as this tends to tougher and
coarsen the skin. Probably the best rem
edy known is to rub the elbow with COM
mon table salt The slight friction will
stimulate the blood and skin and make
it grow firm and smooth. At night rub
a small amount Of mutton tallow or cold
cream into the elbow.

CONFERENCE ACADEMY'S
BIG ENROLMENT

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del. Sept. 1.-THE enrolment
of the first week OF the new year at the
Wilmington Conference Academy is
greater than that Of any previous years
in a decade. An encouraging feature of
the increase is the number of boys. The
size Of the student-body has demanded an
increase in the faculty and one teacher
has been added for general academic
studies and another for oratory.
Miss Anna O'Brien. OF Crisfeld, Md. a
graduate of the Dover College, and, this
year, of Dickinson College at Carlisle, Pa.
is the new tutor for the academic depart
ment. Miss Estelle Conwell of Camden
daughter of DR.. /. S. Conwell and a
Philadelphia graduate. is th0- teacher in
the department of oratory.

pressed at a meeting OF the commission
ers this morning, Is cOuntered by the
desire Of the s~7eet and Sewer Directors

The Street and Sewer Directors have
repeatedly complained of their morning
session as turning their business engage

Commissioner Shaw was not less con-
vinced that the morning session Of the

Sewer Directors and the Board of Health
meet in the mornings, and there is no
reason why we also should not meet
"These afternoon meetings simply break
me all up" In almost the same words
the Street and Sewer Directors have
complained Of their morning session.
II is not Improbable, however that
both boards may change their sessions

unit for morning sessions. and the Street
and Sewer Directors are as eager for
afternoon sessions. Whether the oppos-

nails, and the pointed nails Of a few
years ago are looked upon as almost
barbaric at present 1t also seems that
women are becoming sensible in an
other digital detail. High polishing Is
no longer the rule, as, OF course, II
never was practiced by women Of fine
taste. The pointed nail and the high
polish have passed out. and the
chances are historians in future days
Will look back and rank them with
crinoline as evidence OF a crude and
undiscriminating age. In caring for
their finger nails women now try to
follow nature instead of opposing or
distorting 1t. The natural contour Of
the nail is preserved as far as possi-
bic, and the manicure Is not permitted
