MANS Love for Home.

The average man would care for his
home above all other places on earth,
If he got half a chance. It's in him
to do tits in the most restless and
migratory of his sort No matter how
he roams about he likes to know he
has a home to go to, and his fond
ness for staying in it is in exact pro-
portion-or so I believe-to the de-
gree in which that home approaches
the ideal Not in outward show
most men care surprisingly little about
that-but in the qualities which make
it a place happily different from the
best club or bachelors hall which ever
existed.-Grace S. Richmond, With
Juliet in England

His Rat Trap.

Omaha has youngster who is an
amateur electrician, and who has a
very ingenious way of killing rats.
The prying rodent is caught in an or
binary trap, the bottom of which is
covered with tin. The Omaha boy
has small dynamo of his own manu-
facture and one wire connecting with
the dynamo is fastened to the tin lin
ing of the trap and another is thrust
into the prisoners cell. The we'll
known propensity of a Gagged rat to
do battle asserts itself, and he seizes
the wire between his teeth. In SO do
ing he makes the mistake of his life.
The circuit is complete, his jaws close
on the wire with a death grip, and
without a squeak, and almost without
a culver, he passes into a state where
he will bother mankind no more.

Breathing Exercise
for Graceful Necks

For years certain exercise has
been practiced by family of Virginia
beauties, known the country over for
their beautiful, graceful necks, says
the Delineator. It is SO simple that
every woman should know it. Here 1t
is:
Every morning before the sun is
high, the girls arise and stand before
the window of their bedroom. They
draw in deep, full breaths of the fresh,
dew-laden atmosphere. Then, rising on
the toes, another deep breath is drawn
in. This time it is held, and while the
mouth is kept tightly closed the breath
is forced against the throat and neck
muscles while Is is counted. AS the
heels slowly come down to the ground
the breath is forcibly expelled, always
through the open mouth.
To the beginner in beauty culture,
this exercise is likely to bring on an
attack Of dizziness But do not be
alarmed. It is simply because so much
oxygen Is forced into the lungs that
the. scores Of little air cells. hereto
fore empty, are quite filled to over.
flowing. This starts the blood rushing
at such mad pace that one is, for
the time being, quite drunk with the
unusual exhilaration.
If, for two weeks, night and morn,
ing, this exercise is practiced ten
times in succession, you will note a
decided Improvement. Distressing
hollows will begin to take on
natural curves and angles to assume
lines Of grace.

A Fancy Coat.

Gray cloth can be made into a beau
tiful coat, or cape-coat, by using a
mandarin coat pattern for the purpose.
If designed for evening wear a coat
of this description can be lined
throughout with pale she'll pink silk,
quilted if desired, and trimmed on the
outside with gray soutache braid, while
a few coral ornaments can be sewed
among the applique patterns to har-
monte with the pink lining. The
sleeves being wide, the lining should
be Of pink silk, with the edges bound
with gray satin to match the coat.
Large silver buttons of the filigree
pattern would be additional trimming.
A gray coat of this description was
made collarless and finished with a
chinchilla boa.

Ultra Chic Note
Just Now in Paris

The ultra chic note in Paris just
now is the contrast of tones between
the coat and the skirt. For the most
part the coats are coquettishly shaped,
with open fronts, disclosing more or
less of the pretty bodice. This fash
ion, now thoroughly accepted, is also
an economical one, for what is easier
than to change slightly a last sea
sons skirt to suit the prevailing
modes, ana, with a velvet coat OF
some nice, contrasting color, an up-to-
date costume is achieved? Ihe
latest fancy is to have these silk or
velvet coats made sleeveless. A last
years princess gown of fine gray
broadcloth is made this year to look
quite new by the addition of half
long coat of bright green velvet. The
sleeves of a bolero that belonged to
the gown serve for the coat, for their
shape is quite correct. Wide lace
frills fall from them now, and lace
frills fill the open front. With this
costume is worn wide brimmed hat
of green velvet The velvet is gath
cred full over the brim above a lin
ing of pale pink tulle. There is a
big mob crown, and between crown
and brim curls a long green feather,
held on one side by clasp of green
and gold enamel.
Often these velvet coats have
sleeves composed entirely of lace.
One such is Of purple velvet, worn
with a skirt of gray crepe-a gray
so pale as to be nearly white. The
lace of the sleeves, overlapping
founces, is of the same grayish white
tint
One Of the original ideas of the mo-
ment is the "Fatma" sash. It is
worn with a plain long skirt 1mag-
inc long, wide length of black satin,
carried loosely about the hips and
knotted careless1y in the back, leav'
ing long fringed ends. Its upper edge
touches the belt line, but it is en-
tirely about the body. There is moth
ing newer and at the same time more
charming. 1t must be worn with a
gown of decided color, like cerise
rose, pale blue, or tender green, and il
| Is always black.

THE STORY.

66D EGONE! Thinkest thou that the
I'D king hath time for such as ys?"
and as he spoke the gate keeper thrust
back the two women who sought en-
trance to the palace. With a look of
pain and disappointment they skunk
back into the shadow of the gateway,
and watched with envious eyes the
groups of people passing to and fro
through the gate. Their garb pro-
claimed them as belonging to the
poorer class, and the certain condi-
tons of dress and bearing indicated
plainly their character and the Ques-
tionable manner of their life, and had
not the gate keeper been busy with
the constant stream of people passing
in and out Of the palace grounds
he might have been curious to
know what could have brought them
thither. And while they made no fur
Their attempt to enter, they fingered
near. offering striking contrast to the
important-looking officials who found
such ready entrance to the palace.
1t was during the early part of
King Solomon's reign that our story
opens, and king and leaders from all
over the land were busy effecting that
organization which later became the
marvel of nations far and near. With
clever foresight he picked leaders from
all over the realm and gave into their
hands the administration of the king
dom, so that no place was SO distant
but that it felt the impress and slim
illus of the energetic young king. Once
a wear these leaders and the other Of
6cers Of the kingdom assembled at
Jerusalem to report to the king, and
it was at such a time as this that
these two women had appeared at the
palace pleading that they might see
the king.
The rough words and treatment OF
the gatekeeper caught the notice OF
one of the officials as he was enter
ing, and he paused after passing with
in the gateway to look back and OBJ
serve the women who had thus been
so harshly repulsed. Something in
the expression on the face of one of
the women aroused his curiosity and
he retraced his steps to her side and
inquired of her what she desired.
Scarcely had she begun to speak
when the other broke in with her
story and he soon saw that it was
some sort of controversy between the
two over the little babe which one
woman carried upon her bosom. and

Women Decorate Hatoins.

Fashionable women are at present
giving their spare moments to form
ing and decorating hatpins. One must
have SO many. and the pins play such
an important part in the effect of a
hat that every woman must have a
dozen or two special ones for each
chapeau. The disks are immense and
are almost fattened Women buy
the plain disks, burrow holes with
tools, and after battering in strong
gum in the holes, sink and paste sap
phires, or pearls, or rubies or emer-
aids. Against the enameled surface
the effect is fine.
Those of copper are lovely, but we
see pretty enameled ones of all colors
The more jeweled the more chic, for
the plain hatpin is seen no more!
