sage is specially smart green, and
plum color and amethyst intrude
among the violets. Black and definite
white, though seen, stand behind
color.
Fashions window presents the look
of an esthetic rainbow. Which means
that, though colors rule, they are never
strident. Over all is flung a gentle
| dimness, as If brilliant hues were
yelled with misty gray or stuffs had
wept themselves pale somehow. In
truth, all of Dame Fashions moods
! lean to the sentimental this season.
1t is pleasing quality and one always
suited to elegant and fair woman
hood.
The material of gown is biased en-
tirely by the model chosen. All en-
pire effects call for textures soft in
finish, the silks, satins and cloths used
hanging with the limp suppleness of
chiffon. A high satiny gloss is lux
urious feature of many of these ma
terials, and with such rich textures
go handsome laces and bead passe-
menteries of superb sort.
On the bodice of sage green EN-.
pire dress, which showed the inevi.
table lace guimp and undersleeves,
was a passementerie which initiated
the raised punches and foliage of
small white grapes. The dress itself
of chiffon over slip of sage green
messaline.
A very beautiful gown, which may
be made of cloth, yelling or of any
of the numerous soft silks on the mar
| ket, is shown in the illustration. The
model for this was in one of the
shades of old blue, with trimmings of
soutache braid and silk fringe and
chemisette of net in a matching color
overlaid with gold.
The blouse is made over a smooth
ly fitting lining, and the high-waisted
skirt can be cut in either two or three
pieces, as it is made without a front
seam.
Many departures from the original
suggestions are possible. For in
stance, the chemisette could be of
white lace, and instead of the gold
which overlays it, a passementerie
could be used, or else the lace left to
show.
If the chemisette is of whole lace,
with any color for the rest of the
gown, there could be bodice touches
of coral, bright green or chinese blue,
which is \ highly decorative tint for
trimming.
But as to the gold. Bullion grant
lures, when the quantity is restrained,
are very much in vogue, and there is
scarcely a dreSsy French frocL uboea
corsage, at least, does not show the
CLINT of gilt. A necktie made of gold
braid, finished with tassel of gilt
threads and beads, trims the throat of
many beautiful French gown.

PRETTY TRIMMING FOR GOWN
English Idea of Draped Scarfs Can
Be Made Extremely
Effective.

Among the essentially new ideas of
the season are the scarf-timmed
gowns that take unto themselves all
the splendor of the oriental, combined
with the grace of drapery which be-
longs only to the very early and the
very late centuries. The scarf idea
provides a very good opportunity for
woman of moderate means to turn
the plainest of gowns into the most
elaborate. Assuming that she pos
sesses a gown of straight lines made
of some clinging fabric, and that she
knows how to trim it solely with an
embroidered scarf of crepe de chine
or chiffon cloth, you will see at
glance what could be accomplished.
If she had plain black satin gown,
for instance. and draped over its one
shoulder a black scarf embroidered
with colored silks and glittering
sequins and edged with heavy black
silk fringe, would the gown not be
charming? The scarf could be ar
ranged to emphasize the best points
Of the figure.
This scarfdraping idea is primarily
of English origin, although it has been
adopted by some of the French de-
signers. In any case, and no matter
to whom the credit may go, this bit
OF drapery carries with it host of
advantages.

Round Shoulders.

Round shoulders are easily cured in
young people. You must make radi-
cal change in your sleeping position.
In fact, you should really learn to
sleep without any pillow at all. Dur
ing every moment of the day bear
your infirmity in mind. STAND straight
and look up, not down. Look people in
the eyes as you walk Acquire the
habit of holding the head up Walking
about your room for half an hour each
day with book balanced on your head
will help you to stand straight.

The choicest cuts for elegant. gowns
lean largely to empire effects. With
these charming draperies-for the de-
lightfully skimp designs are scarcely
more than coverings for graceful fig
ures-pale tints accommodate them
selves. Tones in tan, ranging from a
brown to salmon tinge, are displayed
by p number of frocks.

Capitalists are scanning the situation in Tur-
key with eagle eyes for they realize that the
opening of the country to outside financiering
will produce Investments which cannot be
overlooked. The Ottoman empire is one OF the
largest OF the old world. 1t embraces exten-
sive territories in southeastern Europe, west
ern Asia and Northern Africa. grouped mainly
around the eastern waters OF the Medterran-
can and along both sides Of the Red sea- the
west coast of the Persian gulf and southern
and western shores of the black sea.
Revolve in your mind the various assort-
ment of industries which may be carried on in
that fertile country and then ask yourself
whether it is any wonder that lots Of Ameri-
can money will go to aid Turkey by being in
vested in its industries.
The rejuvenation of Turkey is going on from
the inside as we'll from the outside. The
powers of the world want to give Turkey
chance to retrieve itself and they realize that
the new sultan must be depended upon Every
official action which goes forth from the pal
ace is quickly communicated to the govern
ments of Europe and America. In fact the

Mehmed is believed by the Turkish people
to be in some manner descendant of Moham-

preme within the confines of the Ottoman
empire 1t was that fact which kept Abdul
Hamid on the throne for SO long time while
Turkey longed for his life blood and thousands
of plotters were praying for chance to effect
his demise
Finally, however, the people of Turkey took
the view that it was the office of sultan which
they honored and not the occupant OF that po
sition So the Young Turks party was formed
with the primary idea Of restoring the consti
tuition of 1876. The decrepit ruler. after many
promises of New Turkey" gave them the
constitution they wished. Then by machina-
tions known only to himself and perhaps one
or two members OF his court. he took away all
the grants, still leaving the subjects In pos
session of the constitution Of 1876. which then
amounted to nothing more than an empty
promise.

Why the Muscles Grolu Tired

Nearly half the weight of the human body
consists of muscles which connect the bones
and, by contraction, move them into various
positions In the best steam engines only one
tenth of the potential energy of the fuel is
verted into mechanical work. but the muscles
utilize in work from "a to IS per cent Of the
energy of the food and probably much more
as the experiments which furnished these
figures were performed with muscles removed
from the body, not with living muscles richly
supplied with blood. The less the contraction
of a muscle the greater is its efficiency. A
steam engine which is maintained in good con-
dition works hour after hour and day after
day, always consuming the same quantity Of
coal in performing the same amount of work.
With the muscles, however, it is different.
For their waste products from combustion
accumulate and cause fatigue. The poison of
fatigue gradually is washed away by the blood
and in light and slow work 1t is carried off as
rapidly 1t is formed by the activity Of the
muscle, while in heavy violent, or greatly pro-
longed labor it accumulates in the muscles.
1t is the sensation of fatigue that causes US
unconsciously to select the easiest way Of do
ing thngs-for example, to ascend a mountain
by a winding rather than by a straight path,
although we thus increase the total quantity Of
work

loyal subjects. the word has gone out from the
head of the Turkish cabinet that the debt will
be lqudated as fast money is piled into
the Ottoman surplus fund.
A lowering of taxation rates is also prom
ised by the new ruler In years past the taxes
upon the people Of the empire have been
steep that thousands upon thousands of them
have migrated to America, others going to
countries in the vicinity Of Turkey, where the
yoke placed upon the subjects head is not
nearly SO heavy.
1t was proved conclusively that Abdul Ham
i'd himself ordered the Moslem fanatics OF
Asiatic Turkey to wipe out the entire Arme-
nian and with the advent of Mehmed V.
to the throne everything within human power
was done to stop the flow OF Christian blood.
with the result that with the exception of a
few rowing bands, the carnage makers were
almost Immediately hauled from their crimson
assignment.
Then at orders of the new sultan the relief
work in the stricken dictricts where the torch
and sword had reigned but few days before
commenced with marvellous results. 1t was
estimated that 10000 Armenians had been
slain during the few days which intervened be-
tween the order of Abdul Hamid and the sue
cessful termination of the revolution in the
deposition Of the despotic monarch.
That was the first step in the Turkish house
cleaning and it has been followed by others OF
greater import to the subjects of the sultan.
toured the provinces nearby and also the out
lying districts with view towards learning
the wants OF the citizens. A,thorough reorgan-
izaton is still in progress and already results
are beginning to show themselves
Reasons for Abdul Hamid issuing the fate
full secret order for the massacre of all Ar
menans are assigned to his desire to stem
the tide of growing strength Of the Young
Turks and give another bit of play for the
idle hands to accomplish in order that the de-
structiveness might be turned in a direction
other than Yildiz Kiosh.
To all intents and purposes he succeeded. AS
far as destruction went Abdul Hamid
cessful but the terrific wave OF opposition to
his rule refused to spend itself in the massa-
cres in Asiatic Turkey Thus he brought about
his own downfall.
But to-day different sight than that of the
previous quarter century OF retrogression
greets the eyes Of the visitor In Turkey. Pros
perity is in the air. The spy system, thor
oughly organized by aides of Abdul Hamid, is
practically abolished. Under Abduls regime
men feared to whisper their beliefs at their
own fresides for fear a spy listened without or
-fraught with even more danger-for fear
members Of their own families were in the
pay of the sultan.
Christian words at that time were punish.
