Writing Rooms In Stations.

Nothing could surpass our big rail
road stations in regard to luxury and
comfort" said New York suburban
lite. He closed his evening paper and
paced the long corridor. "They lack,
however, writing rooms" he added,
"a much-needed accommodation. All
big department stores, all hotels, pro-
vide, without charge, attractive desks
covered with pretty stationery, good
pens, clean blotters, for the use Of
their customers. This convenience is
much appreciated, and the neat mo-
nogram of the establishment on the
paper and envelopes amply pays, in its
advertising value for the expense of
the writing room. Now, where would
a writing room be more serviceable
than in a railroad station? Look at
me! Here have half hour to put in
and nothing to do but pace the corri-
doris. The letters could get off, the
important business / could attend to
in this forced period of idleness! Ger
tainly, here in America where time is
so valuable, the railroads should give
their travellers writing rooms"

Welshach's First Failure.

Some 20 years ago the speaker at
tended at an Office in London for the
purpose of witnessing an experiment
by a German student in something
new in gas lighting. He then saw
some small cambria caps, the first
five or six of which at once fell to
pieces; while four or five lasted little
longer. The latter burnt for few
minutes and then, on door being
opened they followed in the wake Of
their predecessors Little did those
who were present at the experiments
imagine that they were assisting at
the rise of planet which would food
with light the whole universe. The
German student was Welsbach, and
the caps were the precursors Of the
nantes which have been the savior of
the gas ndustry.-London Address.

Mutf of Panne Velvet and Fur.

set, muff, hat and collarette, suitable
for a young girl. Panne velvet in a
charming shade of blue is used for hat
and muff, the, trimming being white
fox The collarette is of the velvet,
made into three plated ruches and
tied at the side with a bow of satin
ribbon.
Ermine bands are most attractive
used on muffs Of the shape shown in
the illustration. This fur sometimes
seems to look more effective when
used in bands for the trimming of hat
and muff than when it is used alone.
On certain shade of soft and rather
light brown velvet the narrow bands
of ermine on muff and hat are most
attractive. Mink or sable-sable, If
possible, of course-is also most at
tractive on brown velvet and satin.

Made-Over Lace.

Battenberg and other handmade
laces usually show wear in the loose
stitch work long before the braids
themselves break. An attractive way
to further utilize pieces thus worn is
to haste them carefully over net
mounted on paper. Be sure that each
form or figure is smoothed out prop
erly so that the entire design is per-
feet Now rip away the old lace
stitches and overcast the braid to the
net along each edge. When all is Sc
cured, press well and clip free from
the paper, cutting away all superfuous
net from the edge except narrow
margin to be hemmed back under the
braid. Even loose machine stitch
will answer in lieu of the overcasting,
but, of course, is by no means as
dainty.

KEEPING THE PLANT HEALTHY
Care of the Jardlniere Is of the High
est Importance.

A mistake that causes many failures
in growing palms, ferns and other
plants that are stood in jardinieres, is
that the water which drains through
the earth and the hole in the bottom
of the earthenware pot is allowed to
accumulate in the jardiniere.
In this way plant is often soaked
in water for days at time and natur-
ally it becomes soggy and sickly.
An easy way to overcome this diff
Guilty is, about Is minutes after plant
has been thoroughly watered lift it
from the jardiniere and wipe out all
moisture that has drained through.
This may seem like trouble, but 1t is
not half the bother of dickering with
sickly plants.

rhousands Of Women. CLUBS.

Nobody knows how many women's
clubs there are in the United States.
The General Federation of Women's
Clubs was registered in the almanacs
of 1908 as having over 1000 clubs in
its membership, with 100000 women
on their rolls But that was in Janu-
airy, 1908, and The federation grows
every year amazingly. 1t contains,
TOO, only a few out of the nulnberless
iwomen's clubs in the land, since there
are small clubs, societies and circles
everywhere which do not affiliate
themselves with any state or national
organization. but exist simply for the
pleasure and proft of their own mem
bership -Harper's Bazaar.
