Some OF the new coats have their
entire surface covered with close de.
sign OF soutache braiding. This was
the height of style years ago. and II
has been revived In exactly Its old
form.
The soutache is put on as though II
were cut out with jig saw. and II is
quite effective.
One model In green broadcloth has

waistband. and fastens down the left

The coat falls below the knees at

Straight Lines for Fig
ure Is Absolute Ediet
Of RaShioD.

AS 1t was rumored in the summer,
the padded waist line has come to
pass. There is an oblong pillow worn
down the center seam OF skirt and
princess frock to give a large waist
line and straight drop from bust to
floor.
Extra thin women are padding the
corset at the back, where the straight
frock or coat is apt to fall into a curved
waist line. This spolls the effect Of
the Wide, straight back, which is the
feature of good fashion to-day.
Women who have large waists are
happily letting them out and having
comfort for the first time In their
lives. The only thing is that one must
wear gowns and coats in straight
lines. otherwise the effect is absurd.
Anything that tends to enlarge hips
and bust is considered bad manage.
ment In dressing, and even though the
waist line is not only let out. but pad
ded, the hips are laced In absolutely
tight from the waist down.
Every woman does not know how to
lace corset, and II she is in error the
result will be worse this year than for
many seasons before.
1t must always be unlaced its entire
length every time 1t is removed. 9th.
erwise bones break and steels snap
and the corset lasts half its appointed
time.
When II is put on It should be
hooked up in front. then the hands put
under 1t to draw up the flesh. Next
the elastics are fastened to the stock
fngs and the figure comfortably adjust.
ed before the lacing begins.
The lacers. which have loops in the
center. should be pulled a little at that
line first, then they should be pulled
hard at the extreme lower edge, bring.
Ing the edges of the corset together.
This should be done all the way up
over the hips, the extra length Of
lacers pulled out at the center.
The same method OF lacing should
then begin at the top OF the corset
only 1t is not necessary to lace SO
tightly above as below.
The strings In the center are pulled
as tight NJ one wishes and tied In a
loose knot. They should never be
brought around the corset and tied in
front, as this destroys the waist line
by denting 1t and finally breaking the
corset bones.

Velvet Roses.

The new thing of the moment Is the
immense rose with petals that are
larger than mn ordinary rose made
OF hello velvet and worn on the front
OF hat. Sometimes two smaller ones
are placed at the sides. and between
them is n festoon OF hello tulle.
These roses are also worn at tho
front Of bodice and Just below tho left
hip on an evening gown made with n
tunic that crosses over at left and ia
slashed to show an undersklrt OF tullo

When HANGING Curtains.

A house decorator gives this impor.
tant advice to women who are arrang.
Ing their homes. They should not
hang curtains OF one color against n
wall paper OF another color. They
should not Join carpets OF opposite
colors. They should not put different
papers on the walls OF adjoining
rooms which have wide archways or
folding doors between. These are
simple suggestions. but they mean n
great deal. The woman who is guided
by them win arrive at much better
results than she who ignores them.
When II is not possible TO have the
carpets alike In rooms that are Joined
by wide openings, n rug should be
laid over tho long seam TO hide II.

Albany, oct. "a number OF railroads
running through the forests of the state
were summoned to-day to appear before
the public service commission in the
second district at public hearing at the
capitol on October II to show what de-
vices and precautions arc being taken
against setting fires in the forests along
their respective lines. The railroads will
also be asked to show cause why they
should not either use some fuel which
will not emit sparks from the locomtive
or why their motive power should not be
changed to some other than steam.
This action on the part Of the COM
mission follows a recent communication
received from J s Whippo of the state
forest fish and game commission in
which he stated that in his opinion ninety
per cent OF the forest fires started In
the forest preserves are caused by sparks
from locomotives. Mr.. Whilrple recon-

lunatics than It has cured.
For acute mania, where the mind Is
agitated and one is inclined TO violence,
a moderate application Of Beethoven's
Moonlight Sonata has been found efii-
cacious. Miss Fowler did not say
whether this had anything TO do with
the ancient theory of the effect of the
moon on the mind. Melodies like Drink
To Me only With Thine Eyes" are
also suggested, although, on account
Of the well known harmful effect Of
liquor on the brain, too much Of this
is forbidden.
For melanchola. what Miss Fowler
calls bright, quick" music must be
applied. In this class one may try
teaspoonful Of such lyrics as Il Like to
Have Lot of Little Girls Around Me"
or any Of George Cohan's works. Pieces
like Chopin'c "Marche Funebre" and
the ave Maria" are not good in such
cases.

education but besides this we had to
pay extra taxes and our children had
TO walk four miles in any kind Of
weather Three years ago we had a
new teacher for Centreville school,
Miss Glenn. As we found that she was
good teacher l decided to send our
children there again, as it was too far
for them to go to dupont school. We
certainly were very well pleased with
Miss Glenn, for she had the ability to
control the uncivil children and teach
and command respect. and princip 2.
but unfortunately politics had to in
terfere in this progress. Miss Glenn's
father was Of a different political opin
'-~ from the school commissioners. For
this simple reason Mr.. School Com
missioner had to find a pretext to re-
,-~'-~ the teacher. Since that time we
have had no satisfaction whatever and
for over three weeks we have had no
school 1t appears that Centreville
school is very hard TO control. Every
teacher who has taught there has done
her best and they are not to be blamed
for their unsuccess. but certainly be-
