WeIIiooton's Waving PlumeS.

One of the oldest hats that ever
surmounted the statue of hero was
that of the Duke of Wellington, which
used to stand on the Triumphal Arch
at Hyde Park corner, but is now at
Aldershot. For Wyatt, the artist,
wishing to give the semblance of life
to inanimate bronze, caused the
plumes of the dukes hat to be so
riveted that they fluttered in the
breeze, which made people wonder
whether or not they we're the victims
Of an optical illusion. And one re-
members how a vast crowd was once
collected opposite old Northumber-
land House at Charing Cross on the
report that the stone lion on top had
wagged his tail and how thousands
went away satisfied that they had
seen the miracle.-London Chronicle.

dren's wash dresses.
Hats of white Tuscan and Leghorn,
trimmed with black velvet and white
feathers, are shown.
Tiny pink satin roses, with rose
leaves, too, are to be had in the shops
for trimming evening gowns.
Girdles, very deeply pointed, Of
pompadour ribbon, MORE or velvet
are worn with plain-colored toilettes.
Coats will be lined with silk the
same shade of the cloth, the same
as has been done the past two sea-
sons
The new lingerie gowns show a
medley of laces and embroideries
more intricate, if possible, than here
tofore.
The new silk and cotton bengaline,
very supple and in a wide range of
colors, is quite a favorite for house
gowns.
A novelty in trimming for lingerie
frocks is a tiny cotton fringe, quite
like that used on bedroom curtains
and covers.
Scarfs of white pongee are novel
and attractive. They are finished with
a buttonholed edge and have more or
less elaborate handwork as well.
A very pretty ornament for the
hair is a filet of black velvet about
half an inch wide, finished with a
tiny bow, either directly in front or
little to one side.
Sleeves that are cut in one with the
body of the garment, but which are
neither of the old dolman shape nor
of the badly used kimono style, figure
in the richest coats.
Panniers, whenever they are en-
ployed now, are made of the most
supple materials, which droop in long,
graceful folds, instead of producing
even suggestion of bouffantry.

Meat-EaterS.

Dr.. Fletcher, whose well-knoWn
specially is living on a minimum OF
food. is quoted as feeling that things
hereabouts are coming fast his way,
and as having a firm belief that
within ten years meat will cease to be
eaten in the United States. 1t is
mean man that will discredit the firm
beliefs of a specialist, but, in spite OF
food boycotts. it does not look that
way to us. We think that from
quarter to a third of the present pop
ulation Of this country will probably
cease to eat meat in the course of the
next decade, but there will be lot
of newcomers, and they will eat 1t.
It is hard to teach an old dog new

Name Does Not Matter,

To attempt as Senator Conger does
to distinguish between blackmall and
bribery in the payment of money to
influence legislation is merely to
bubble over the meaning of words.
The Senate has not gone into COM
mittee of the whole to discuss defini-
tions but to Investigate the use OF
money to defeat a bill that was in
imical to the business interests OF a
member of the Legislature. The
question is not by what name the
transaction should be called, but
what it's essential nature was and who
profited by it. The rest may be left
to the photographers. The offense
by either name is just as rank. New

One speaks of eating" soup. not

side of the spoon, and sticklers on
etiquette claim that when taking up
the soup in the spoon the spoon

to try to take up the last drop of soup

When one has finished, the fork

Paris, and it's fashion publications are
published simultaneously in Paris,
Madrid and Berlin in the language
of those cities.
But it is more than this" said a
New York dressmaker just back from
Paris. "The whole system of dress
making as practiced by the great
modistes of Paris, the men and
women who have won worldwide
fame, is American.
eff a woman comes to me from
little country town l know she is not
going to take the thing 1 would build
for Fifth avenue customer. A wom-
an from small city in the Middle
West would take something different
from both the others, and a woman
from Cuba something still different.
I should have to adapt my work to
the tastes and requirements of each.
well, now, the great Partisan
couturieres want to satisfy American
women. They bring out a gown for
an American customer. She sits I'M
moved. 1t is not what she wants.
They bring out another. Still she is
unimDTessed. They bring another,
and she is interested. She demands
certain alterations; then she is suited.
so they have learned the Ameri-
can woman's taste, and they cater to
them. And the woman comes home
with a trunkful of Paris gowns,
which are nothing but New York
gowns with the Paris stamp on them.
The Par rian maker has taken the
New York cut, fit and style and built.
In two things is Paris superior
and not yet successfully initiated in
New York, color combinations and
fine handwork. The women do not
exist in America to do this handwork,
and if they did it would be necessary
to pay them so much that we could
not compete with the foreign work
ers There is a tradition of fine hand
work among the needlewomen of
Paris, and also a tradition of cheap
ness with which we cannot compete.
And as for the color combinations,
there is something in the French ar
tistic temperament which enables
them to get more beautiful and subtle
effects than we are able to. / ac-
knowledge it. But cut, fit and style
they have taken from us, and it is
American taste which dictates the
work of the famous Paris shops. -

Not an Inch of Healthy Skin Left.


my little son, a boy of five. broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him. but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but it's treatment did no good. At
the time I was induced to try Cut1-
cura he was so bad that had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura ONT
ment on him on bandages, as 1t was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He vas one mass OF
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them 1t used
to take the skin off with hem, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. began to think that
he would never get we'll, but after the
second application Of Cuticura Oint-
ment began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, out 1t finally yielded to the
treatment. Now | can say that he ID
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than
he is to-day, twelve years or more

EMPLOYEES COMMANDMENTS.
Egotistical But Sound Advice From a
Business Man.

The Denton Record and Chronicle
is authority for the statement that
Kansas City jewelry house has issued
some commandments" which do not
appear in the Decalogue in the way of
suggestions to it's employees which, II
says, will fit into the needs of lot
of other firms help" and that some
of them will fit the bosses as WELL"
Here are the commandments
, |. Don't lie. 1t wastes my time
and yours. I'm sure to catch you in
the end, and that is the wrong end.
2. Watch your work, not the clock.
A long days work makes long day
short and a short days work makes
my face long.
3. Give me more than I expect and
I'll pay you more than you expect.
can afford to increase your pay If you
increase my profits.
4. You owe so much to yourself
that you can't afford to owe anybody
else. Keep out of debt or keep out
of my shops.
5. Dishonesty is never an accident.
Good men. like good women, can't
see temptation when they meet it.
G. Mind your own business and in
time you'll have business of your
own to mind.
7. Don't do anything here which
hurts your self-respect. The employe
who is willing to steal for me is cap
able of stealing from me.
8. It's none of my business what
you do at night. But it dissipation
affects what you do the next day, and
you do half as much as | demand,
you'll last half as long as you hoped.
9. Don't tell me what I'd like to
hear. but what l ought to hear. L
don't want valet to my vanity, but
| need one for my dollars.
10. Don't kick if | kick--it you re

while keeping. | don't waste time

Grippe.

While it is too early for compare
tive statistics, grippe has clearly been
very prevalent the present winter, and
during February in particular. 1t is
about twenty years since an epidemic
of this disease first made its appear
ance. 1t was more sweeping at It's
first visitation than it has been since,
vet it remains one of the most tormld-
able perils to general health. Its
worst effect comes in undermining the
system so as to leave the body an easy
prey to more serious complaints. No
doubt it is better handled now than
when its symptoms were more
strange, but it still remains in the
elusive class to a considerable extent.

THE ICE KEEPS WELL.

From mistaken notions many
housekeepers wrap the ice in news
paper or a piece of blanket before
putting it in the ice chamber and then
marvel that though the ice keeps so
we'll the refrigerator is never cold!
When it is understood that the princi-
pal of the refrigerators rests upon the
melting and evaporating of the ice,
the reason becomes plain to anyone.

CARE OF SINK.

In the best regulated families the
sink will occasionally get obstructed.
My remedy takes about five minutes,
saves many a plumbers bill and Incl
dentally a great deal of temper. At
tach the garden hose to faucet, re-
move sprinkler and insert that end
of hose in sink hole, pack a cloth
around it and hold down tight. Turn
on faucet, run a few seconds, remove
hose and suction invariably removes
all obstruction. Once is generally
sufficient for most obstinate cases.

SKIRT HANGING WITHOUT HELP.

SKIRT HANGING WITHOUT HELP.
Finish the skirt all but the hem,
put it on and adjust it properly. Take
a yard stick, place one end on the
floor close to the feet and allow the
stick to rest against the front of the
skirt. Mark where the top of the
stick comes on the skirt with chalk
and move the stick along to the side,
being careful to see that it is always
vertical and not slanting, and mark
with chalk again. Proceed in this
way until a circle of chalk is COM
pleted around the skirt. The skirt is
now marked an even thirty-six inches
from the floor. Take it off and place
it on q table and with the yard stick
mark off the desired length below the
circle of chalk. For instance, if you
want your skirt two inches from the
floor, lay the yard stick On the skirt
with one end at the line of chalk
marks, and at the other end chalk
two inches less than yard. This
makes a perfect hanging skirt.-Mrs.
r. e. Zschiesche, in the Boston Post.

ly heated through, wrap in a cloth,
drop in a bag made little larger
than the brick, having a bag for each
brick, put in middle of bed for a short
time, then moving a little farther
down, while undressing, then little
farther till they reach the foot. And

the editor of this column, for bringing
it to your notice.-Mrs. Helen M.
