there might never yet have been
feminine pajamas.
From the moment that she wore
pink pajamas In her one little act in a
play several years ago, manufacturers
at once exploited them. The Panama,
equally dear to the heart of the out
door girl, was started by Violet Van
brugh borrowing her brothers and
twisting a silk handkerchief loosely
around it. This actress also originated
the long gold chains with turquoise
at intervals, hitting on this way to dis
pose Of some Jumps of turquoise that
a friend had brought her from abroad.
The Della Fox curl was another epic
OF hairdressing, and it was Edna May
who introduced the little lace caps for
negligee and as a dainty head covering
in her carriage.
Olga Nethersole will be remembered
for her bracelet and Cleo de Merode
introduced the style of Embarrassing
which is drawn low owe her ears, be-
coming to SO few, but wonderfully ef.
fective when 1t does suit the profile.
Probably nj girl would have had cour-
age to wear 1t, though, II 1t had not
been for this beautiful Partisan.

found that she could not lift the
glass from the table. You see, she
did not really and honestly want to be
cured and wasted but little time in
rushing into temptation.
Conditions might not be so bad.
however, if women or men drank real,

pure liquors Of all sorts. but they
don't. They think they do, but what
they are really drinking is a deadly
poison and one swift in its execution.
l feel safe in saying that out of 100
drinks sold in New York city as
whisky not more than one is the real
article.
Counterfeit Whisky.
But so cleverly is whisky counter
feited to-day that club connoisseurs
cannot detect it. as was shown in an
experiment made recently by DR.. Oar
lington Of the board of health. DIR.
Darlington went around and collected
a number of samples of whisky from
saloons of all classes, took the sam
pies to his club, where ne had sew

taken excessively, is not harmful, but
| do say that a man could drink the
pure article in moderation all his life
and not be hurt by it. Why, is
drinks OF pure whisky would not do
a man the harm that one drink of this
vile stuff they sell for whisky in New
York would do him.
Poisoned by Vile Liquor.
Il know a man who left his Office
one evening all tired out. dropped into
a saloon of the best class and took
only two drinks of their bar whisky
and was lost for four days. / was
called in to help find him, as he was
a friend of mine, and when we found
him he was in a pitiable condition, his
mind was clouded, he could not re-
member where he had been or what
he had done after leaving that saloon.
He only remembered that he had taken
two drinks of whisky.
'The beer drinker, If he gets real
beer, is handed a glass of the bever-
age which, to meet the demands Of
trade, is put out too new and i'm
properly fermented. Beer should be
kept in the key for six months before
being sold to the drinker.

IcEHousE AND COOL ROOM.
Arrangement by Which Two Can Be
Successfully Combined.

In the accompanying illustration is
presented the construction for a
small icehouse, with a cool room I'M
derneath it which is 9x9 feet square
IN the inside and 6h feet from the
floor to the ceiling. The outside d.
mansions of the building are 12x12,
with the ice chamber 11x11 and s or 8
feet from floor to plate. The plan
contemplates storing the ice in
a compact mass, 9x9 feet, direct
ly over the cool room, construct
ing the bottom of the ice cham
Der and the ceiling of the cool
room in such a manner that the air in
the cecil room will have its tempera-
ture controlled by convection currents,
the warm air rising to the ceiling of
the cool room, coming in contact with
the floor of the ice chamber, which
is made water-tight and of good con-
Quoting material.
The walls Of the cool room are Is
inches thick. A suitable masonry
foundation, as represented, should be
laid, the ground covered with about

besides the working crews. AS the sol
diers could not help work the ships
they were really in the way and much
more helpless on shipboard than mod
ern marines. The cannon which
formed the armament of the ships
were mere toys compared with those
of the present day.
The American fleet consists Of 16
first-class battle ships, eight armored
cruisers, nine protected cruisers, six
gunboats, six torpedo-boat destroyers
and three monitors. The ships carry
a totar of 2,1S4 guns, any one Of which
could sink the biggest ships In the
Spanish armada with one shot from a
distance that the heaviest gun in the
Spanish fleet could not cover half the
way. The concentrated fire of all the
ships In the Spanish fleet would not
make a dent in the armored sides Of
one of the American ships, while a
single broadside from the latter would
sink or disable the entire armada.
After the American ships had steamed
through the Spanish armada once,
flpm end to end, coming out ~scathless,
there would be nothing left Of the
ARMADA.

ACTRESSES SET THE FASHIONS.
Exploit Something Novel and Matinee
Girls Take 1t Up.

Even the most enthusiastic of the
matinee girls, as a rule, know little of
how much their favorite actresses
have had to do with popularizing their
favorite fashions, says the Columbus
Dispatch.
Now that short sleeves are out, it is
not everybody who will remember that
the new sleeve that has supplanted
them owes its fitted shapeliness to
Bernhard, who first invented the tight
lining and closely wrinkled outside,
and the long f1aring point that reaches
clear down to the fingers.
It was when Blanche Bates played
the Darling OF the Gods that kimono
opera cloaks and oriental embroideries
and tea jackets went up in popularity.
Camille Clifford doomed the Gibson
couture more than the original Gibson
girl and she also popularized the tight
skirt and the pose in which q thousand
lassies have had their pictures taken.
II 1t had not been for Pauline Chase
