OLD Mr.. OYSTER HAS
THAT TIRED FEELING

TRENTON, n. j., Oct. 31--That there
is no disease among the oysters Of the
Maurice Cove section, but that they
are dying from overwork. is the dag
nosis made by Prof. Julius Nelson,
biologist OF the State Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, in report he has
just submitted to the State Bureau
of Shell Fisheries. The oysters in that
section have been gradually dying out.
Prof. Nelson says the overworking of
the oysters is due to the conditions
of the beds which are bad, and they
have "a fight for life because Of the
slime and dirt that clings about them.
These conditions finally cause the oys-
ters TO suffocate or starve TO death.

Two.Tone Hosiery.

Two-toned stockings will be much
seen this season. While they have
been worn before. they are now offered
in much greater variety and better
finish. One model shows a weave OF
pure white on the inside, ribbed with
black or color on the outside. In
stead Of white and a color, two tones
of the same color are often used.
The new raisin shades arc TO be
found among the stock. There are
also odd blues, soft yellows and rose
shades, and many more Of the popu-
lar colors. A combination OF bronze
and yellow, with a gown to match, is
one of the most pleasing.

The Coat Gown.

The coat gown is one OF the smart
est Of the seasons modes.
In the best models. two-tone serges
or zibellines are usually seen.
The costume is severely tailored, with
possibly only a black moire OF otto
man collar to finish il.
For walking this kind OF garment
is most comfortable, with not an extra
ounce of material in it's makeup.
It is excellent also for motoring, as
one may leave heavier wraps In the
machine and be quite ready for shop
ping, for tea, or for any place where
a suit Is admissible.

Innings seem TO be growing richer
and more expensive by the minute.
No longer do we use the cheap lin
ings of sateen and lawn and percale
for evening frocks. as was certainly
done a while ago.
silks and satins and brocades en-
broidery and lace, all form the under
part" of the present gowns.
It. seems horribly expensive at first
thought but when we consider, 1t is
not so unreasonable.
For the lining. so called, in the most
OF the present creations, is the gown
itself.
The upper and lower materials may
hardly be separated, and the real rich
ness actually comes from the under

This has its economical points, for,
since there is nothing to hide in the
way OF lining draperies themselves
may. if desired be brought within the
limits of the more moderate purse.
Less profusion of drapery is needed.
less ornamentation. if the basis Of the

Afternoon Tea,

The delightful custom of serving tea
which our English cousins do so grace
fully, is becoming more and more pop
ular with us. There is nearness
which one gets to ones friends over a
cup of tea that is never felt in the
tealess drawing room calls. The very
simplicity Of the entertainment ap-
peals to all, for a cup of tea with a
bit of bread and butter may be served
to ones friends by even the hostess
whose purse is never full.
Then there are the Scotch scones
and simple little tea cakes, and any
variety of simple breads that are al
ways appreciated, easy to prepare, and
inexpensive enough to be no drain
upon the purse. The tea service may
be the simplest of china, or the silver
OF ones grandmother. Really beauti-
full things in table service need not
mean much expenditure. The tea table
covered with the snowy cloth EN-.
broidered by hand, or simply hem
stitched, with the lemon dish and the
sliced lemon, the sugar bowl and the
creamer for those who do not prefer
Russian tea, the teapot, cups and sau-
GERS, the table is complete. 1t is a
pleasure to see the kettle boil, but one
can easily prepare the tea in the kitch-
en- and serve it from the table. Many
like to use the dainty tea ball or the
samovar, but without these, hospital
ity may be just as delightfully."- given.

Household Hints.

A child's washboard that can be
bought for five or ten cents, is han.
dy article to use to rub out the dish
towels, or if there is a baby in the
home the small things may be easily
rubbed out in bowl using the small
board.
Use old socks or stockings that have
passed their usefulness as such, for
cleaning cloths. Cut off the feet, cut
open the legs seam together enough to
make a square, put into the mop and
it will be found excellent as the knit
ted material takes up the water so
readily and it is so easily wrung.
A black stocking leg should be used
when cleaning black or dark clothing
as there is no lint left to show as
there is no lint left to show, as there
is with light cloth.
Emery powder will remove any or
binary stains from ivory knife han
dies.
Rinse out the dish towels after din
ner each day and boil them once a
week.
A good cleanser to have on hand is
a small bottle of chloroform, as it will
not injure the most delicate fabrics,
and never leaves ring.
To remove the smell of fish or on.
ions from frying pan, put little vim.
egar in it directly after using it, and
plaza over the fire to heat.

The Waste Basket.

A small basket to receive threads
and bits of things that litter room,
Is an indispensable article. For bed
room it may be made with a founda-
ton of cardboard covered with Gre
tonne, denim or art cloth, to harmon
ize with the furnishings of the room.
For the library one may have one as
handsome as the purse can afford. In
the serving room one made of Gre
tonne with several shirred pockets
fastened to the inside will be found
most convenient. There is not a
room in the house where a suitable
receptacle is not useful. Perhaps 1t is
a letter or faded flower, one does
not care to decorate the furniture with
such scraps and remains, SO that the
waste basket is splendid help to
keep the room In order.

The most common desire of childhood
is to do what it sees grown-up people do.
In different stages of child development
this desire takes various forms. There are
the little girls who "dress up" in long
skirts and play at being "society" ladies,
and the little boys who play Indian and
pirate. Babies who initiate the doings of
older people are smiled upon with indul-
gence by fond parents and aunts; but chill
dren between the ages of Is and 20 who
set out in formal fashion to initiate the
foibles and froth of social life and stratify
them into a society can hardly look for the
