END OF A RED NOSE
New F4esh-Colored Product That Heals and Hides Skin Imperfec-


 tions. A peculiar feature of poslam, a new skin discovery, is that 1t is naturally flesh colored and contains no grease, so that when used on the face for the complexion, or for pimples,. red noses, 1T any other inflamma lions, blemishes, or discolora tions, it's presence cannot be detected. It can thus be applied in the daytime. the natural color of the skin being immediately restored and the actual healing and curing pro- cess accomplished in a few days. It can be had of any pharmacist who sells pure drugs. Jennie Hamilton's Phar- macy makes a speciality of it. Fifty cents. worth will answer either for the troubles mentioned or in curing ordin- ary cases of eczema. Itching stops at once.
 Any one who will write to the Elmer gency Laboratories, No. 32 West Twen- ty-fhth Street, New York, can secure by mail free of charge, supply sgIffi- cient to cure a small eczema surface or clear a complexion overnight and remove pimples in twenty-four hours.

FASHIONABLE FADS.

A woman who is clever with her needle
may lend variety to her white and black
evening slippers by adorning them with
bows and rosetteS. Fer black satin pair
pretty rosettes may be fashioned OF gold
CLOTH gold lace or black chiffon pieated and
combined with silver ribbon. Buckles made
OF black satin, embroidered with cut steel
or colored beads are also attractive. Ro-
settles for white slippers may be fashioned
of pleated tulle with centres of tiny white
blossoms. pink rOsebuds or small oval gilt
buckles
A woman who enjoys a reputation among
her friends for being always well gowned
has broken away from the unwritten law
which seems TO have limited the wearer OF
artificial flowers to violets, sgardenias and
orchids, and accordingly she chooses her
mimic blossom according to the touch of
color which her gown seems TO require
Sometimes il is single purple aster which
brightens UP her plain street outfit. and
again two or three brilliant marigolds will

With a dark blue suit she often wears
spray of mignonette or a cornf1ower.
The oldtime cabbage bouquet, encircled
by dull leaves or lace paper ruffs is the
thing to carry nowadays.

In the invitations for coming out recep-
tions or "at homes" scarcely anything is
seen but the English script. Where there
is a sister who has previously made her
debut, her name comes on the line below
that Of the hostess (the mother). and the
debutantes name appears on the third line.
The usual form of "at home cards omts
the hosts name, merely giving that of the
mother and daughter; but in several cases
this season cards have included the name
Of the host. and have been engraved in
what is known as block type, a distinct de-
parture
Either the shaded Colonial or shaded
English text is used in engraving what is
known as the general utility card. This has
the name of the hostess on the top line, and
a number of blanks are left to be filed in.
These cards serve for bridge. luncheon, etc.
Many OF the newest visiting cards for
women are of writing paper weight. en-
graved in block type. These are most con-
venient, as they take up so little room that
a handsome cardcase retains its shape.
Place cards for luncheons. dinners or
card parties are not larger than 8 Z. by 9A
inches and are of thick. dead white bristol
beard, with gilded, bevelled edges and round
ed corners At the centre of the top the
coat-of-arms or the crest may be embossed
in white. which is preferable. or in gold or

either in gold or in color.
In stationery plain white or gray sheets
that fold once to fit the oblong envelopes
are the best form. and if seals are used the
wax should be silver or white. The paper
may have crests. monograms or addresses
stamped or embossed or engraved upon it.

OUR GENEROUS SELVES

Nature is hard upon poor humanity IN
q good many ways. The pairs OF legs
that don't match. the inferior brains, the
squeaky voices. the bad dispositions and
complexions and so forth that she scat
ters amonG the children OF men. do make
her seem sometimes like a malevolent
fairy godmother. All the same. there
nothing mean about Nature. She may
make YOU inferior 10 your neighbor. but
she seldom fails TO confer upon you
blessed blindness Of the fact Nature
knows how comfortable II is TO feel supe-
rior TO some one else. and she gives most
of us a taste of the delicious draft. IL
is a safe wager that rarely are several
people associated in any organization or
undertaking that each doesn't harbor
more or less hidden regret that the others
don't see, poor things, how many better
ways there are of doing things than the
ways which they follow. The clubwoman
defeated for Office may be disappointed,
but at least she has the solace OF know
ing how much more brilliantly she could
have handled the gaveI had she won.

NO CHEER At SEA
Incoming TraUeHers Tell of
Stormy Christmas Weather.

Few persons this year experienced that
merry Christmas feeling at sea, judging by
the tales of storms and SeaSickness told by
incoming travellers yesterday.
The Corrieutes, Captain Scharfe, from
Brazilian ports by way OF Barbados was
delayed three days in reaching port. on
Christmas Day the storm that had been
raging since the 23d assumed violent pro-
portions. The wind was from the north
west and continued TO blow with terrific
force for twenty-six hours. Then came
hail with the wind and high seas that
dashed over the bridge, tore canvas into
shreds, deluged the engine room, broke
skylights and the windows to the captains
room and played havoc generally.
The Quebec Line steamship Bermudian
and the Royal Mail liner Orotava, rival
ships in the Bermuda trade, arrived yes
terday morning after noW-we-lead and
now-we-don't race through the storm to
Sandy Hook. The Bermudian won. arriv-
ing at Quarantine at $50 a. M, while the
Orotava did not get there until three hours
later.
Chief Officer Tibbits OF the latter steam
ship said yesterday that except for
typhoon through which he once lived in
the China seas, the force of the winds on
last Sunday exceeded anything he had net
in his fourteen years at sea. BY noon en-
that day, said Mr Tibbits, the gale had in
creased TO eighty miles an hour, and
toward the middle Of the afternoon squalls
of hurricane force. in which the wind
reached 12O miles an hour. dispelled all
thoughts of peace and quiet from the
minds of both officers and passengers. The
vessel did eighty-two miles in twenty-four

THE SEPARATE COAT.
Nezcesf Model Cut on Full
Lues-RichIu Trimmed.

Though brown is now the favOrlte sha0S
FOR suits and gowns. motor coats are made
in purple and plum color to match the
trapuings in the big Imousines- The new
est models are of smooth CLOTH cut on
large full lines and simply trimmed WIN
stitching and bands OF fur which suggest
the days OF the Venetian doses-
GRAY is another favorite for carriase
coats especially in velvets and corduroys
With them are used gray furs and Innings
Of pastei shades while the edges are
trimmed with deep borders OF braid. lace
and chiffon. OF gold soutache on white
ground. This trimming is particularly
effective on rnoire coats. which are being
worn a great deal. The mOire used Is soft
in texture but OF a heavier quality than
that chosen for gowns
Long coats elaborateIy trimmed with
long haired fur, are popular, both fer
evening and day wear Those for evening
are usually made in light shades OF silk
and cloth and trimmed with white or pale
grav skins but il would be easy to plan a
garment which would serve for carriage
wear in the afternoon as well as for an
evening wrap
Long coats for more common wear are
made OF zibeine. diagonal serge or kersey.
few new models show a revival of the reg
uIar style. in which the sleeve is cut in
one with the body OF the coat and caught
at the wrist with a small. narrow band OF
