MANY IDEAS FOR RuFFLEs
Worn in Profusion, There Has Come
a Decided Revival OF the Hand.
Made Ones.

Now that we are to have rufles at
the wrist as well as down the fronts
Of blouses there is quite revival of
the handmade ones.
Fine muslin. handkerchief linen and
the old.fashioned tea.tinted batiste are
the fabrics used.
The latter is especially dainty and
goes well with the old.world look Of
all the new trimmings.
Women are making these during
their idle hours. The material is
bought by the yard, then cut into
strips two and four inches wide.
The edges are either scalloped and
buttonholed in conventional fashion or
they are hemmed and the embroidery
put above. This embroidery is done
in fine French designs. showing small
basket of flowers, or in classic Dor
ders.
The former is new and artistic when
the tiny flowers are done in faint-col-
ored floss. One set OF rufles on old
yellow batiste has baskets in the
French form, with the turned-down
ends done in the color of the founda.
ton.
The tiny blossoms, tumbling out, are
in faint lavender. pink. blue and
spring green. This can be copied on
a white foundation.

HEAT AND THE TEETH.

Most of US know in a general way
that heat is bad for the teeth; in
deed, if the enamel on our front
teeth is thin we have this fact pain
fully impressed on US.
Many do not know the reason for
these constant cautions not to take
food, and especially drinks, that are
very hot, without first cooling them
needless to say not by the rude
method of blowing.
The density of the dentine of the
teeth and the enamel is not the
same. Therefore, sudden heat causes
unequal expansion and the enamel
pays the penalty by cracking.
One should be doubly careful in
regard to bringing the teeth in con-
tact with heat, if they happen to be
filed. There is difference in con-
traction and expansion between the
tooth and the metal, and it is the
tooth that suffers.

Sash Worn with Bracelet.

All that hangs gracefully be-
comes the fashion. The woman who
first wore the shawl in Italy soon
startled Rome by her grace. She had
not even been known as pretty be-
fore that, but ever afterwards she
was the Roman beauty. The shawl re-
ceived another hanging, a fringe,
which swayed and trembled with every
movement Of the figure. Then came
the gracefully hanging skirts. and now
the newest thing is TO have a sash
drawn from the waist through the
bracelets Of gold worn above the ell
bows. The sash, which hangs down
to the edge OF the skirt, gives an I'M
usually graceful effect. AS the sash
is not loose. but attached to the dress
at the waist, It is no trouble to the
wearer, but is an everlasting tempta-
ton to be kept moving.

SEWING HINTS.

The most popular blouses include
chiffon over lace and clear ecru net
over foundation of child white Irish
guipure.
Much attention is given to Innings
with the return of the snug bodice.
Upon this the fine dress depends al
most wholly for best results.
Challis and albatross are among
the fabrics used for attractive negli-
gees.
Heels continue high, but they are
thicker and more substantial than last
year.
Quilts studded with jet are among
the smar: trimmings for the tailored
turbans.
Mercury wings of fancy gilt are
seen on some of the smart turbans
and tricornes.
Some of the handsomest fur tur-
bans are Snapped almost exactly like
helmet.
Suede boots are made highly
decorative by their close set, glitter
ing buttons of gunmetal hue.
Buttons continue large and elab-
crate for decorative effects, but they
do not appear in numbers.
Felt jules in the sofest colors and
edged with rabbit skins come for the
little people.
The broad bow of velvet is much
worn with the turnover collars of
embroidered batiste or linen.
A pretty ornament for the hair is
filet of black velvet abou. half an
inch wide, finished with tiny bow,
either directly in front or a little to
one side.
Beads and braid combine to make
some of the new and unusual cabach-
ons on hats and gowns. They are to
be had in a variety of colors.
Scarfs of white pongee are novel
and attractive. They are finished
with buttonhole edge and have
more or less elaborate handwork as
well.
Pillows covers ofcanvass, embroid-
cred in conventional design, are
again seen. They are suggestive of
the cross-stitch work of bygone days.
Some of the new sleeves are cap
ped and gathered or SHRED under
the cap and at the elbow and wrists.
In fact, the bishop tendency is
marked.
A lovely idea for an afternoon
gown and wrap is to have the latter
of a dark color lined with beautiful
brilliant satin, and the gown match
ing the lining in color. To carry
out the effect the hat should match
the wrap.

A Candid Democrat.

Ex-Judge Herrick, a leading New
York Democrat, at q recent banquet,
said:
ITO my mind, the situation does not
look so rosy. The Republicans showed
their dissatisfaction with conditions
within their own party by refusing to
vote, rather than vote for our candi-
dates.
81 do not see much of an increase in
the vote of the Democratic party. The
victory was gained as the result of the
Republican 'stay-at-homes.' There was
only slight Democratic advance over
the 1900 figures, whereas the Republi-
can vote in New York was II, GOO less.
That clearly indicates the condition.
"This is the time the Democratic
party is always winning victories. It's
always before election. We are all pat
ting each other on the hack, and saving
how easily we are going to win. The
party has sure thing-of that we are
confident. We bring out a lot of fine
sounding platforms, which none of us
believe in, but we fancy somebody else
does, and then we proceed 10 divide into
groups. Then when the votes are cast
we are practically left at the post"

A POISONOUS BREW,

In I9O8 there were about so, 900 white
men of voting age in the Ninth Con-
gressional District of Virginia. Of
these only $1,000 voted in the Presi-
DENTAL election of that year. So, there
were $4,000 white men in the district
who could not or did not vote. We're
these men dead to the duties of citizen
ship, were they suicides, or were they
victims of a poisonous sleeping draught.
The Democrats claim that thew were
asleep. If this be true who is respon-
sible for their unfortunate condition?
The men who made the new suffrage
laws for the State must face the re-
sponsibility. Mr.. Stuart helped to COM
pound and administer the noxious DO
tion-he drenched his own people with
the hatefel dose, the suffrage and reg
istration laws that are as repulsive and
deadly as the broth brewed BY the
witches in Macbeth:
