When / heard that Saint Gaudens in

sible that even Saint Gaudens could sue

one of the finest figures Of it's kind. and

Mendinq Silk Stockings.

Silk stockings are an expensive lux
ury. The first cost is considerable,
and they do not stand hard wear
When the first stitch breaks their
beauty is much impaired, if not &C
tually destroyed. That one tiny break
rapidly runs down the length of the
stocking, and if not quickly mended
the open strip speedily widens and the
case is hopeless. The usual way of
mending is TO sew the raveled edges
together with over and over stitch.
This may stop further raveling, but
even with the greatest care there
will be rough seam, very conspicu-
Gus on the plain part of the stocking,
and most unsightly on any part 4 bet
ter way, which only requires patience,
is to pick up the stitches and crochet
the edges together with fine needle
and fine silk of the same color. This
seam then will never be noticed by
anyone but the weare-.

E. W. Walton, Cocdr. S. P. Ry., III
Van Ness St., San Antonio, Tex,
writes: During the summer and fall
of 1902, my annoyance from catarrh
reached that stage where it was actual
misery ana developed alarming symp-
toms, such as a very deep-seated cough,
night sweats, and pains in the head and
chest. experimental with several So
called remedies before finally decided
to take thorough course of Peruna.
1.-TWO of my friends had gone SO far as
TO inform me that the thing for me to do
was to resign my position and seek
higher, more congenial climate. Every
one thought 1 had consumption and I
was not expected to live very long.
"Having procured some Peruna, de-
cided to give it a thorough test and APP
piled myself assiduously to the task Of
taking it, as per instructions, in the
meantime.
"The effects were soon apparent, all
alarming symptoms disappeared and
my general health became fully as good
rs it had ever been in my life.

on two or three occasions since that
time to cure myself of bad colds"

through the autumn. To render these
hats little less summary looking,
however, while they still preserve
their picturesque effects, they are
draped with silk or colored chiffon in
stead of net and null, and they may be
trimmed with ribbon, silk chouX, or
plumes instead of the floral garniture
which has been so fashionable during
the summer.
The illustration shows hat of this
description made of dull finished chif-
fOn taffeta in brown. The hat is pre-
cisely the same shape which has been
so popular during the summer. The
crown is covered with the silk, while
the draperies of the same, as is also
the large and dashing trimming at the
side. A plating of the silk is used
meath this there is ruffle of coffee
cOiored lace. The hat is faced with
shirred mousseline de sole in brown of
the shade of the silk. A touch of color
might well be added to this hat if it
were meant to be worn with a gown
all of one shade the same color in
brown. But if the gown is to be Of
contrasting shades of color then it will
not be necessary to have any bright
touches in the hat.
With brown gown, for instance,
which has a light waistcoat and coral
color trimmings the all brown hat
would be more effective than one
with touch of coral in it's trimmings.
If the hat is to be worn with a tan
gown trimmed with brown the all
brown would also be more effective.
For general wear, with q variety Of
different costumes, there is nothing
more useful than hat all in brown
either Of different shades or in mono
tone. But if the hat is to be worn
with a rather dull brown costume, it
is best to give it a touch of brightness,
unless brown is singularly becoming
to the wearer.

PLANT TRAMP BY INSTINCT.
California Cactus Blows Around tho
Desert for Months.

Curious among vegetable growths
and one which is seldom seen of men
is the rootless cactus of the California
desert, says the Technical World.
This plant, round, compact growth,
rolls about the level floor of the des-
ert for some eight or nine months of
the year, tossed hither and yon by
the winds which blow with fierceness
over all of CALIFORNIA; sand plat dur
ing those months.
AT the coming of the rains, or
rather the cloudbursts, which sweep
the desert in its springtime, this cac-
tus takes root wherever it happens to
have been dropped by the last wind
OF which it was the plaything and i'm
mediately begins to put out all around
1t small shoots, which in turn become
cacti, exactly like the parent plant.
These young growths increase in
size rapidly, sucking the moisture
both from the parent plant and from
the surrounding earth. The roots do
not penetrate the soil deeply, but
spread often over a circle whose
radius is not less than ten feet These
roots, too, are small, but practically
innumerable, and they get every bit
of moisture and plant food to be had
In the territory they cover.

BEST CARE OF Wells.
Can Be cleansed Easily Even When
Badly Soiled.

If your veil is very much soiled it
will not be a difficult matter to bring
it back to its original newness. Make
d strong lather of white soap, and
simmer the veil in it for about a quar-
ter of an hour.
Rinse it in cold water carefully with
4 little liquid bluing. You can also
aid perfume to this water. Pass the
cell through a thin gum arabic water,
or water in which rice has been boiled,
md clear it by shaking. Pin evenly
On a linen cloth. When dry lay be-
tween a piece of thin muslin and
iron on wrong side.
To wash your black veil, pass it
through hot water in which a small
quantity of OK gall has been mixed, to-
gether with some perfume. Squeeze,
but do not rub it. Rinse in cold water,
putting bluing in the last rinse.
Stiffen by dipping in a very thin
glue water, made by pouring water on
glue. Squeeze and shake out, and dry
and iron on the wrong side, the same
as the white veil.

BATHING AN INDIAN IDOL.
Curious Ceremony Attended by Thou
sands of DeVout Pilgrims.

Thousands of pilgrims from the va
rious outlying villages and other parts
of the Hooghly district poured in from
an early hour in the morning to the
temples of Jagernath, says the Cal
cutta Statesman.
The image of the god is placed on
a conspicuous part of the temple, so
that it can be viewed at an advantage
by the immense crowd of pilgrims,
and there at certain fixed hour the
bathing ceremony commences.
The most curious part of the festi-
val is that water is not poured on the
image of the god until a certain small
bird is found sitting on the topmost
banner of the temple. There is pop
ular belief that the bird comes from
Puri, the famous place of Hindu pilgrim
age, to Maheoh on the day of this
festival, and his very presence is an
indication that the ceremony should
commence. Immediately after the
bath the bird disappears.

Pcuched Bodices Return.

number of the new bodice models
show the front pouched, ever so slight
ly, to be sure, but still pouched, and
at the GCodwcod races a number Of
corsages of that order were noted.
The slightly pouched front is be-
coming to most figures, tending to con-
ceal both Te1undances and deficiencies.
and then. too. there is more room and
ease across the chest. In short, the
pouched front is comfortable as well
as becoming, when the fullness is only
slight and is drawn toward the center
of the figure.

EYESIGHT WAS IN DANGER
From Terrible Eczema-Baby's Head
Mass of Itching Rash and Sores
Disease Cured by Cuticura.

"Our little girl was two months old
when she got rash on her face and
within five days her face and head
were all one sore. We used different
remedies but it got worse instead of
better and we thought she would turn
blind and that her ears would fall off.
She suffered terribly, and would
scratch until the blood came. This
went on until she was five months old,
then had her under our family doc
tors care, but she continued to grow
worse. He said it was eczema When
she was seven months old I started
to use the Cuticura Remedies and in
two months our baby was a different
girl. You could not see a sign of a
sore and she was as fair as a new
born baby. She has not had a sign of
the eczema since. Mrs. H. F. Budke,

"THE PALE GIRL"

In cold weather some people think

action is to cause more chilliness.
There is a hot wholesome drink
