NERVES AND WOMEN.

: common symptom OF nervousness
especially among women. is the fear
OK being alone. This is a n.oroidity
which mas distinct physiological ef-
fects. With is onset the heart be
gins to beat more quickly, the blood
rushes to the head, perspiratiCn
breaks upon the body, and the mind
is flung into turmoil and tumult The
sIffeTer's intelligence is often quite
clear and recognizes the absurdity Of
the dread, set she cannot shake it
off. She resolves again and again
to tri1mnh over it, but again and
again her resolution is vanquished.
HoH. then, is she to be delivered
rom this en2lavilg obsession? No
d0ubt, much ma be done by atten-
ton TO bodily health, diet, sleep, ex-
ercise. occupation, etc. Yet it must
be admitted that II many cases these
forces are rOWerless to relieve. What
such a sufferer needs is the crea-
ton OF an emotion stronger than the
emotion which is causing the mis-
chief. This uplifting and saving emo
ton may spring up in different ways
in different individuals. To some it
will be made possible through a sense
OF duty; to others, through the love
OF husband or child or sister or
friend; TO others, again. through the
thought Of the Divine Presence,
which is not a mere abstract notion
of Deity. but feeling realization of
a living Power who holds and sus-
tains, who is closer to us than
breathing. nearer than hands or feet"

A Mountain Puzzle,

"The Blue Ridge Mountains abound
In natural wonders" observed H. A.
Barnes Of Pen-Mar. Nest wonderful
Of them all in my opinion is the Dew

AT first view this strange natural
phenomenon appears like a broad
roadway Of great stones which ex-
tends away up the mountain in path

Many of these great stones weigh

the thousand. they present an extra
ordinary spectacle.
tradition has 1t. and scientists
agree, that thousand or more years
ago this strange track was the bed OF
an ancient river. The conclusion Is
drawn from the looirs OF the stones;
they are all well rounded and worn

which had polished their rough edges
no doubt for centuries.
but the mystery is, IL this theory
be true, to explain how the great
body OF water was confined at tho
sides for the course is not hemmed
in by high banks. nor Is 1t located
in a ravine In fact, it stands some

theories Of its prehistoric origin. -

SOME OLD FRIENDS.

An inspection Of materials shows
that certain oldtime, reliable mate
rails have returned under new names,
but cur mothers will recognize their
friends in the shape of the coarse
linens that resemble oatmeal cloth,
hopsacking and the various basket
weaves.
The feature that commends itself
to many women is the fact that the
weave is so evident that it serves
for decoration, and therefore, re-
quires very little other ornamental
ton Simple braiding designs or but
tons are generally sufficient for the
morning dress, while the square
meshes of these coarse fabrics form
excellent backgrounds upon which de-
signs in cross-stitching (done with
wooden or linen threads) may be
added.
When the individual touch Of ON
bro;dery is added, these materials
are excellent for afternoon wear,
and although the design is more cor
ventional than the trailing vines
worked by the wearers of fifty years
ago. the effect warrants the time
expended in the construction.-NeW

THINGS ONE CAN'T AFFORD.

The woman who has Only limit
ed sum to spend on her clothes may
think that visiting shops to look al
lovely things she must not even tank
of buying is a foolish waste OF tine,
but it can really be made an eZceea-
ingly profitable occupation. Good
taste in dress can be developed III
the same way as correct judgment IN
other matters of art-naEely, by
STUDYING the best models. If the I'M
necunious one will make UP her mind
to use the creations of those who
making world as means OF educa-
ton. and to rel:nlGish as far as they
are concerned ell thought of posses
sion, they will become source OF
endless pleasure to her. When, in
the course Of morning walk, some
adorable frock in shop window
catches her eye she can reyel IN its
beauty undeterred by any considera-
ton of dollars and cents and with
q firm faith that her eye is being
trained to select from the multitu-
diaous garments that are manufac-
tured to suit purses Of the dimen~
sions of her own the few that b.
some happy chance are possessed OF
q certain degree of distinction.
The study of costly modes is per-
haps more useful to the average
woman this season than ever before,
fer many of their most lovely effects
can be REPRODUCED in inexpensive ma
terials. There are mercerizad lawns,
for instance, with printed borders.
that repeat almost exactly the color
ings Of the chiffons used for some
of the most elaborate toilets, and
many models can be found, like the
one in the illustration, that can be
made to serve for almost any mate
rial from simple Bingham to the
most exquisite laces and embroid-
cries. One charming little cotton
frock seen in a shop just of Fifth
avenue had a fiat circular finishing at
the neck like the one in the picture.
