Miladq's fancy still leans toward
large hatpins, which may be had In
clusters of beads, jeweled or with met
al flowers. Enormous butterfly and
bug pins are often seen on the newest
hats.
A very pretty hair ornament OBJ
served in a shop window was made of
little pendants of colored stones, like
a tiny necklace. The pendants were
attached to a little chain, and the
whole was to be held in place with
the little pins at the end of the chain
In the same window was displayed an
enameled brooch representing clus-
ter of seashells.
Opals are very stylish this winter,
especially when set in necklace or a
brooch, and if milady is not supersti-
tious she should appreciate a gift of
this beautiful stone.
Barbaric Belts.
Beaded belts in antique colored de-
signs are as much worn, as bags of
this description are carried. They
come with large fancy buckles and
present an appearance almost bar
barrie.
A leather belt with coin purse set
in the front is an oddly of the season
while a cameo belt, with links of sill
yer. is on of the truly elegant and
beautiful ornaments that the best shops
are showing.

Biographical

December II.
CATHERINE sFoRzA

Four centuries ago today Catherine
Sforza, one of the most remarkable
women of the middle ages, died iii
Florence, Italy. She was born ir
Milan in 1461. but the exact date is
unknown.
Although only a natural daughter OF
Clan Galeazzo, duke of Milan, she was
carefully and tenderly reared by Bona
Galeazzo, the dukes wife, and at her
earnest request the child was legiti-
matized when she was eight years of
age.
The duke arranged a marriage for
her with Girolamo Riario, nephew
of Pope Sextus ". The wedding took
place when she was 16, and upon her
arrival at Rome there were festivities
of pomp and splendor to celebrate the
union.
Catherine was very beautiful. Her
hair was like spun gold and her eyes
were brilliant and expressive. All
Rome went into raptures over the
young bride, and the pope was very
proud of her. At the papal court she
was a favorite, for she loved social
gaiety and was particularly fond Of
dancing.
During the four years the young
people lived at Rome in the Corsini
palace, four children were born to
them-one girl and three boys. Then
they went t. Imola, in northern Italy,
as this had recently become a state
of the church, and Sextus " bestowed
it upon his nephew.
Not long after, Foril was in the gift
of the pope, and this was added to the
possessions of Riario and Catherine.
January 80, 1881, the count and coun-
tess of Foril went to their new home.
For time all went well, but
through the outside influence of the
Medici at florence a conspiracy re-
suited in the murder OF RlarlO, April
IA, 1883 Catherine was a widow at
q, with five boys and one girl.
She and her children were put IN
prison, and the insurgents demanded
the keys of the citadel. The COM
mander there refused to give them to
any one but Catherine herself. So
they allowed her to enter the gates
of the citadel, and they kept her chill
dren as hostages for her return.
Once inside the walls she gave or
ders to fire on the insurgents. They
threatened that if she did they would
kill her children. She went to the
ramparts and shouted to them: eff
you kill them, I have a son at Imola;
1 am pregnant of another, who will
grow up to avenge such an execrable
act'
Her courage made them afraid, and
they spared the children. Later help
came to her, but she was finally van
quished She died at the convent of
Santa Maria della Muriate, Florence.

One of the best ways to get through
a tedious task that 1 know is to set
yourself stents.
When / was in college l earned some
of the money for the extras one sum-

The first task l had given me to do
was the filing of some thousands of
patents, a performance that was abso-

Never cook beef in boiling

grease.
g. In roasting beef have the oven
very hot before putting 1t In. This will
scar the outside and seal in the sap.
The roast should be turned a time or
two at the beginning and then lower
the temperature of the over slightly
and let it roast until done to the point
desired
Z. Pot roast should. be par boiled
and finished with very little water,
and kept covered. A good plan is to
first boil tender, then take off the
water and finish by roasting in the
oven.
8. Do not have the bone cut out of
roast. 1t cooks better and is more
sweet with the bone left in. The bone
also helps to hold the sap in the meat.
8. Disabuse your mind of the idea
that it is not fashionable to place the
cheaper cuts of beef on your table The

Something For Christmas

progressive games that require the
trump to be declared otherwise than
according to the cards themselves.
A menu holder, representing bot
tie. a tumbler and a goblet; holders
for stickpins with cushion tops in the
shape of elephants, horses, swans, mice,
rabbits and so forth; a ring tree with
a place for hairpins and stickpins;
smelling salt bottle of sterling silver
on green glass, all of these things are
quite cute and should be sure to please
her.
Sterling silver charms of all kinds
are now being worn, and if she is at all
superstitious you must be sure to get
her one of these.
Craze for Jet.
The fancy for jet has developed into
a regular craze. Everybody is wearing
if. as dress trimming as hat garnish-
ment, as jewelry, and certainly her
Christmas would not be complete if you
failed to get her something along this
line.
The bracelet is surely in again, in
spite of the fact that many women
still cling rigidly to the long sleeve,
and this may be had in links of jet,
rather wide, or in the shape Of a coiled
snake with jewels for eyes.
Also in jet are shown collar pins,
brooches, long chains, hatpins and so
forth. One striking necklace has ball
pendants, while earrings with long
pendants are extremely fashionable.
Hair ornaments of jet must OF
course. be worn to match ones jew
elry and the trimming of the gown
High jet combs, wide barrettes, large
bal pins all of these things are very
stylish, and to finish off the entire
toilet correctly, milady may carry a
tiny coin purse of black links.
How to Wear the Watch.
Every year different way of wear
ing the watch comes in, and this win
ter, it seems to me, an attempt has
been made to keep this most useful
piece of jewelry in the places most
convenient of access. A gold link
bracelet has a tiny timepiece set in the
clasp. and a silver link bag has one
set in the handle. Wrist watches on
leather straps are also being worn
again to some extent, but the fashion
is certainly not an attractive one.
One of the most striking vanities OF
the season is the finder mirror. This
is attached to a tiny chain and worn
like finger purse. 1t is circular and
coquettishly tries to conceal itself I'M
der crescent shaped head Of either
gold plate or oxidized silver. This
head slides back and forth. revealing
or concealing the mirror as the wearer
desires.
Large Hatpins Still Popular.

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-No foreign
playwright in recent years has gained
greater popularity with New York
audiences than William Somerset
Vaughan, whose list OF plays was
augmented this week by Mrs. Dot
in which Billie Burke made her ap-
pearance at the Lyceum theater.
Mrs. Dot is quite a delfghtful per-
sonage and charming vehicle for
clever work in Love Watches will
be remembered for a long time by
theatergoers all over the country. Mr..
Maugl}ams other most pleasing pro-
duction, Penelope in which Marie
Tempest is starring during her Ameri
can tour, makes him the author of
two of the best drawing attractions
on the boards this season.
"The Lottery Man." which is APP
pearing at the Bijou theater, is the
first attraction to be billed by the
Shuberts at the popular little play
house on Broadway. Such an ar.
rangement, however, was made neces-
sary by the fact that all the numerous
aged by the firm are already supplied
with successes. The title role of "The
Lottery Man. is entrusted to Cyril
Scott who appears for the first time
as a Shubert star.
Though THE Lottery Man" is a re-
porter, and the plot of the play hinges
on a scheme to increase the circula-
ton of a metropolitan daily, this COM
edy is radically different from the So
called newspaper plays with which
the public is familiar.
The first act scene shows the living
room of the Wrights in the basement
of a house on Twelfth street at night;
the second is Foxeys den, three
months later, and the third takes
place in Mrs. Peytons library after
a lapse of three days The piece
has been staged under the direction
of Edith Ellis.
Anything that Cyril Scott under
takes is bound to be assuring to his
audience; and this Jack Wright, the
newspaper man, who makes himself
the prize as a husband in a coupon
contest, is the very life of entertain
ing stage work Then Janet Beec1er,
the versatile girl who won her way
as the Slavey in 1.-The Bachelor" to
Brady stardom in "The Intruder" is
in the cast Helen Lowell is III sthe
company and to see her as Lizzie Rob-
erts, the companion of Mrs. Peyton,
played by Ethel Winthrop, is to see
comedy as close to perfection as pos
sible. The remainder of the players
are well entitled to more extended
notice.
This is the production that will
drive away the blues and it must stay
in town.

of attractive things to eaten my laoy

strikse her fancy, but if the French

In the leather store all sorts OF pref
tv conceits are in, ranging in price
from one dollar up to ten, and even
more. One leather handbag shown
was made in two sections, with a MIR
ror set on the inside of one, ana Two
purses on the inside of the other
Each side opens up like an ordinary
single bag and the whole fastens to
gether with a glove clasp.
A suede leather bag, fastening with
q ieweled button and buttonhole, is
quite fascinating, while bag with two
purses set side by side on the front
would be found very useful.
Ornate leather of all descriptions is
shown. One bag observed in a Win
dow had a fish decoration anc another
a flock of butterflies, this lattre hav-
ing a long flap held in place by jew

is also much seen.
Many Of these purses are gotten up
with a special view to milady's con-

for her pencil and tablet.
In Mother of Pearl.
One of the most attractive bags OBJ
served in the shops was of mother of
pearl, the whole being set together to
give the appearance of tiny shells
Joined. This was attached to a sterl-
ing handle.
One of the newest of the leather bags
has a central flap about one-third the
size Of the bag, which comes down
between the two leather handles and
fastens with a clasp. 1t is very styl-
ish looking, and will no doubt be car
ried by the most elegant women.
Very tiny link coin purses, to fit in
the palm of the hand under the glove,
are also shown, while beaded bags
done in co'ors in antique patterns
with fringed ends and strings of silk
cords are very popular.
Little knicknocks in Sterling Silver.
All sorts of inexpensive knicknacks
in sterling silver are shown, such as
little trump indicator in the shape of
stand, with celluloid leaves marked
with a spade, a club, diamond, a
heart, and the words mo trump"
hanging from support. This is sup
