The Gown Beautiful.

In the famous tea room of the large
hotels in Paris the fair women love
to congregate in the afternoon; and,
indeed, they are clever enough to real
ize that a beautiful gown is enhanced
by an attractive setting which these
meeting places provide.
Many af the most attractive after
noon costumes are velvet, and black
is enjoying high favor. 1t is trimmed
with fur or rich, creamy lace, and the
popular form in which 1t is appearing
is in long coat costumes.
In the beginning Of the season
Frenchwomen wore small hats with
their tailored suits. but just now the
smartest hats are very large. The
Louis XVI. shape, with a short brim in
front and turned directly up at the
back, is much worn.
One of the newest ornaments is q
cabochon of stones with pendants Of
jewels attached at the outer edge
This is used to hold aigrettes or feath-
ers in place or is the sole trimming on
a fur turban.
Many women are wearing dahlias
or chraysanthemums on their outdoor
suits. They are artificial and delicate
perfume is used on their sillken or vel
vet petals. 1t is just a novelty and a
very pretty one, and young and old
are under the spell of these flowers.
With her gold cOlored gown and eve
ming cloak one Parisienne appeared at
theatre with her maplike couture
lightly sprinkled with gold dust It
was introduced in patches, which
gave a notified sunlight effect. From
the number of eyes turned in her d.
rection it, is not unsafe to predict
many attempts of the same kind.
In children's clothes black and
white checked materials are much
used. Little coats of the same are
worn over these dresses.
There is a tendency toward short
ening the jackets to such an extent
that hint of the Eton is noticeable.
A few models show this new. or old,
line. and it is not unsafe to predict
that the bolcro and the very short
Jacket viii be one of the spring
styles.-New Haven Register

Importance of Details.

Spare no pains in collecting details,
before you generalize; but it Is only
when details are generalized that a
truth is grasped The tendency to
generalize is universal with adj men
who achieve great success, whether in
art, literature, or action. The habit
of generalizing, though at first gain
cd with care and caution, secures by
practice a cOmpTehensivenes of judg-
ment, and promptitude OF decision
which seem to a crowd like the intui-
tions of genius And. indeed, moth
ing more distinguishes the man of gen
ius from the mere man of talent than
the faculty of generalizing the various
details, each of which demands the
aptitude of a special talent, but all of
which can only be gathered into a sin
gle whole by the grasp of a mind
which may have no special aptitude
for any.-Lord Lytton.

PIGS AS cHILDREN's PETS
Destined to Replace Kittens and
Youngs Dogs, Philadelphia
Professor Saws

Pigs as pets for children are destin.
ed to replace kittens and young dogs,
according TO Prof f. A. Barnes, OF
Philadelphia, who delivered course
of lectures at Passaic, n. j.
The best companion for child OF
five or six years is a six-week-old pig"
said DIR. Barnes in the first lecture.
"A pig is more intelligent than a kit
ten or a dog; 1t is good-natured and
will follow a child; it is easily kept;
IL is tough and rotund, and its rotund-
ity prevents the child from harming
it, for when the child picks it up and
squeezes it the little pig slips to the
floor every time. Pigs make fine
piaymates and / urge every mother
here TO secure one for her little boy

Eligibility Committee Of Nebraska
High School Athletic Association
Makes Ruling on Player.

LINCOLN, oct B.-(Speoiai Telegram.)--
After conference with the other two
members OF the eligibility committee OF
the Nebraska High School Athletic associa-
ton, DR.. r. e. Clapp announced late Fri
day afternoon that Leslie Mann, the won
derful little quarterback Of the Lincoln
High school, would be allowed to partici-
pate against Omaha Saturday.
DR.. Clapp talked with the members Of
the committee over the telephone and, while
each member was opposed to the playing
OF Mann, 1t was agreed that they had no
authority to exclude him under the Mis-
souri, valley rules, which also govern the
high school contests. Omaha protested
against the playing Of Mann on the grounds
that he participated in summer base ball
as a member Of the Nebraska City team in
the Mink league. The Lincoln High school
authorities admitted that Mann had played
summer base ball, but denied that there
was any rule against il.
The decision OF the committee has again
boosted the stock OF the Lincoln High
school. Mann is practically the whole
team as far as offensive ability is con-
cerned and II was around this player that
the coach has built his offense, Had he
been disqualified the team would have had
to undergo a complete shAke-up. Several
other protests against Mann we're received
from other high schools In addition ~
