TIMELY HINTS FOR
WOMEN READERS
Table Decorations.

When cold weather kills all wild flow
ers there are many different ways of or
namenting a dinner table before money
| need be spent for dollhouse blossoms
For instance, there are various kinds of
greens to be found within a few miles
| of town, and these last we'll into the
| winter.
| A woman who is fortunate enough to
| have clematis on her premises will find
| the vine beautiful, delicate and green long
after the flowers have gone to seed. I'M
| medately the blossoms drop off there are
| left groups of tiny. feathery fingers sug-
| gestive of spun glass. These, cut in
| sprays varying from four to ten inches
| long, the green leaves being retained, are
| exquisite if laid in the center of the
table about glass dish of fruit, The
| vine will keep fresh several days After
| it really goes to seed it is still decor
alive. though the effect is different.
Bay. which does not turn brown until
| long after Christmas, is one of the most
satisfactory green's that can be used.
This set in brass or copper dish in the
middle of the table is nice. If only lit
| tie Of the green can be used. or woman
wishes to vary the decorations, it can
be done by putting a fancy pottery or
| china jar in the center of the table,
f1anking it by a candle at each corner,
figuratively speaking, each being about
twelve inches from the jar. On the table,
between the candles, may be laid straight
sprays of bay. Pine needles, or sprays
with cones, are green's which last for
several weeks and, if they must be
bought, will not be expensive.
Ferns, of course, are always available
for the table, but the objection is that
they grow monOtonous. The sameness of
effect can be diversified by placing these
ferns in a pot small enough to fit into
several china or metal jars.
By judiciOuS selection a woman may
continue to use flowers for a long time
after frost. If she is willing to spend
little money for them. Cosmos. grown

cutting. and extremely graceful and beau
tiful in color Marigolds are effective,
and if the water they are placed in is
changed daily will last week Bachelor
buttons also are satisfactory. and small
jar filled with blossoming geraniums
forms a bright spot of color.

FadS for Women.

The new duckling fleece the outing
fiannels. flannelettes and eiderdowns are
displayed in full force just now, and in
such pretty designs and colorings that
quantities are being sold every day
The garments made up from these ma
terialS are most attractive. For instance,
a neglige Of duckling fleece is made in
empire style, with deep tucks coming
from the shoulders to meet the skirt under
a belt of white embroidery. run with
ribbon. The neck is cut squar.. and the
sleeves elbow length. These are all
trimmed with narrow embroidery. The
design is floral on a pink. blue or hello

linen crash worked in gold thread and a

stitch lightly outlined with a silk stem

combination on the pale tan linen.

amateur craftswoman.
Excellent dresses for maids are of black
cotton pongee. The material resembles
pongec in weave and IS light in weight,
but very serviceable. The waist is made
with three deep pleats OH either shoulder
and a box pleat down the center front.
The back. too. is pleated and there is a
detachable collar.
The skirt conveniently buttons at the
left side front and deep inverted pleat
in the back gives fullness to the other

ed. The sleeves are long and in bishop

to the selection of correspondence paper

deed, many of the same elements are con-
tanned in the former-for example, size,
shape and color. Extremes must be

Two sizes of paper should be in every

several sizes made for women, and is re-

1t is not customary to invite a woman
either for luncheon or with her husban nd
for dinner unless one wishes the acquant-
ance to continue. But to fail to do so
when similar invitation has been re-
ceived is a cut direct. If a married wOma n
invites couple to dinner. and the invited
guest. whether an acceptance or regret
has been sent, later asks the original
hostess only to a luncheon; she then has
given cut to the husban nd of her hostess.
This does not mean that to invite a mar
ried woman to luncheon Is necessarily 10
cut her husband, but only when it is a
first invitation and when return is being
made for a dinner. Broadly speaking, one
cannot invite married woman to lunch
con time after time without also inviting
her and her husband to dinner.

AUTOMATIC TRAIN BRAKE
Invented BY San Antonio Man May
Take Place of Air Brake Used e
on Railroad Rolling Stock.

San Antonio, Texas, Aug. 5.-If the
! theories and model demonstrations of
new brake invented by ]. D. Will
liams of this city prove anything, the
air brake as used on railroad rolling
stock will soon be a thing of the past.
Mr.. Williams has brake which will
utilize the momentum of the train
as the agent to bring it to a stop. By
means of levers connected with the
drawbacks, the brake will be applied
automatically as soon as the engineer
reduces the speed of the train by cut
ting off steam or braking the engine
itself. The principle applied is very
simple, and consists of the momentum
of the car acting against an object of
fering resistance AS the engine loses
in speed the drawhead of the first
car is pressed against the drawhead
of the engine and causes that of the
car to recoil against the springs. The
brake levers are connected with the
beam of the drawhead and as the lat
ter is pushed back the brake is set
in proportion to the force of impact of
the initial shock. The same condition
is Immediately transmitted to all
other cars in the train and remains
in existence until theStrain stops al
together or the engine relieves the
tension on the Drawbacks by starting
up again. One difficulty yet to be
overcome by the inventor is that it
would be impossible to back up with
out setting every brake to a degree
where not wheel would move. Mr..
Williams is sanguine, however, as to
