ticoats, select while muslin, blue
chambray, tan chambray. white inser-
ton or unbleached muslin and ging-
ham for bands. In making the un-
bleached muslin petticoat cut the
skirt in cores and attach flounce.
Trim the founce with narrow band
of gingham and head it with a
fold of gingham. Both materials will
wash nicely. In selecting muslin
by all means eliminate lime-fllled. 1t
is cheap and soon turns yellow. II a
ruffle of swiss embroidery is used se-
lect the kind with small notched
edges and it will be less liable to tear.
If laces are wanted the Valenciennes
are durable. but heavier linen va
riety can be used over and over again.
For a chambray petticoat net ruffie
gives a pretty effect. Curtain net
will serve the purpose. Hem 1t and
head the hem with very narrow
fold of petticoat material. Three
small bands look pretty on it. A serv-
iceable petticoat is made of black or
navy near silk. 1t wears well, has a
silk finish and may be washed.

Use for a Lace Gown,

Now that transparent overdraperies
are SO much in vogue. those women
who possess half-worn lace gown
should resurrect It. White, black or a
color may be utilized. White or cream
chiffon should veil laces in these
shades, but black may be used under
black chiffon or dark color. such as
a dull wine red.
Colored laces may be covered with
chiffon in the same shade, using a diff
ferent tone-lighter or darker, as con-
sidered the better choice-or a color
harmonizing with the lace.

Noisy Nulsances.

Ill-fitting doors and windows rep
resent happy hunting ground for the
disturbing winds. In fact, so annoying
does the constant rattle of these open
ings become that many determined in
dividuals, who resolve to admit the
fresh air, choose the lesser of two
evils and close the openings in prefer
ence to sleepless nights. This can be
remedied If small wedge of wood
be driven in at the side of an open
window; a door can be prevented
from rafting if a pad or strip of thick
felt be nailed on the edge of the door.
The annoyance of creaking drawers
can be eliminated by rubbing common
soap upon the top, sides and bottom of
each.
Creaking hinges on anything should
be well oiled, while the grating, irri-
tating noise of a sewing machine can
be overcome in similar manner.
The little noises wear away the pa
tience that is required for other
things. 1t were foolish to dissipate
energy through the channels of irri-
tated nerves when a little time will
obviate the nuisances.

MANY ARTICLES IN PURSE
Remarkable Ingenuity Displayed In
Design and Workmanship Of
Partisan JeweIer.

A useful purse, just imported from
Paris, is made of pearl colored glazed
leather, lined with watered silk with
very unostentatious gold clasp 1t
is simple enough, and quite demure
outwardly, but its interior contains
unusual treasures for SO unsuspecting
an exterior. Besides the usual com
partments for change, bills and visit
ing cards, there is fitted neatly under
a gray leather flap small mirror. In
a compartment next to this is a beau
tiful little cut glass and silver mount
ed vinaigrette. and in the correspond
ing compartment a powder box with
little puff. In the other side of the
wonderful little purse is another COM
partment containing a small pair of
chased silver opera glasses mounted
in mother-of-pearl, and last, but most
surprising of all, because 1t is SO care
fully hidden In the uppermost fold of
the purse. is an exquisite tiny fan
of ivory and spangled gauze. Never

delight a lady's heart inside of one

OWLS HOUSE WITHOUT LINING
Left Lying Around on Floor
Homes of other Birds.

Owls houses are. for the most part.
quite without lining, says writer in
st. Nicholas. Whether from design or
pure laziness. the bones and skulls OF
small animals which they have killed
are left scattered about the floor.
Gruesome playthings for the owl chill.
dren! But one can scarcely imagine
even baby owl being anything but
wise and dignified. 1t is easiest to pic
ture them apparently gravely musing
on these skulls like monks in their
dark cells.
Since so many OF the owls have
their homes in hollow trees. we might
expect some of their near relatives,
the hawks. to be inclined to live in
the same way One of them. the spar
row-hawk. does nest in the fiicker's
abandoned home and in comfortable
knot-holes. Once l found him quar-
tered snugly in branch which had
decayed at the end where part had
been broken off. This bird. too. is sat
isfied with perfectly bare walls and
floor. though the floor consists of
small chips left by the decaying wood
or by some woodpecker.

DRESS COMMENT.

Black chiffon tunics over blue or
green or orange satin foundations are
among the more favored styles.
Lace is more and more claiming
the attention for trimming hats and
gowns.
Black and white are most used, and
when decorating skirts 1t is adjusted
in fiounces or as tunic
Old gold silk for afternoon and
evening wear is being combined with
Chantilly lace.
Cloth of gold and silver tissue
comes again to supple and glisten-
ing rescue when the dull rose and ma
hogany shades cry for a contrasting
touch.
Yards and yards of shaded or
changeable ribbon will be devoted to
the hats in enormous loops, bows and
scarfs.
Figured silks are vying with two
toned effects for street and house
dresses.
Large fiat hats have appeared with
flowers in wreaths encircling the low
crowns. This style is becoming to
nine out of ten women, for it is unde-
niable that the long. sweeping lines
of hats will add to the charm of the
face beneath, and they are rarely try
ing to the wearer on account of stiff
or straight effects.

long. in its fight first uncoils the cord,
keeping it always taut. and then re-
coils 1t in the reverse direction, re-
winding the coils close together. If
it starts with the cord fully coiled, and
continues its flight until it brings up
against the pole. how far does it fly
in its double course?
Solution-When bird tethered by
cord so feet long to post six inches
in diameter uncoils the full length OF
the cord. and recoils 1t in the opposite
direction. keeping it always taut. it
flies 10.157 feet, or very nearly two
miles. in it's double course.
To avoid possible misunderstanding.
we point out that in order to pass
from the uncoiling to recoiling posi-
tion the bird must fly through a semi
circle at the end of the fully extended
cord.

with jet beads, which the makers In
sist upon calling black diamonds. The
excessive brilliance of the dress is
lessened by broad bands Of chenille
that are crossed in fichu lines and car
ried down the sides of the tunic. The
wide band of velvety black is again
used under the arms so that the glis-
tening black armor is not so aggres-
sive as 1t sounds.
Soft folds of chiffon form the short
sleeves, and white maline gives the
chemisette in the most attractive
form.

An Interruption.

Among the primary pupils enrolled
in Baltimore school this term is the
son of a prominent business man OF
that city.
One afternoon, at close of school, the
youngster sought out his father in his
office, to whom he said:
Dad. I'm getting tired of school. l
think I'll quit"
Why" asked the astonished par
ent; whats the matter. Tommy? I
thought you were fond of going to

ENGLAND HAS ARMY OF BOYS
Youthful English Scouts Drill on Sat.
urday Afternoons and HoIidays-
Must Pass Examination.

One OF the commonest sights in Eng
land, on Saturday afternoon especial
ly, is that of groups Of boys clad in
khaki. with loose flannel shirts. knick-
ers. bare knees. cowboy hats, haver-
sacks and long STATS. They look like
cross between toy soldiers. Juvenile
football players and miniature noun
taineers. You will come across them
at this time OF year on nearly every
open space or public common. playing
their esoteric games. Sydney Brooks
says in Harper's Weekly. In sum-
mer and during the holidays you may
find them camping out, clambering up
mountains, plunging into woods. CIV
Ing public exhibitions of their skill.
These martial-looking youngsters
are the boy scouts Of England and the
credit for their existence as an organi-
zation belongs to Lieut.. Gen. Sir Ba-
den-Powell "B-P"-to give him the
name by which he is known all over
the empire-is himself one Of the
ablest officers and quite the ablest
scout In the British army; and his
spirited and ingenious defense of
Mafeking was one of the brightest in
cidents of the Boer war. 1t was during
the siege of Mafeking that the first
corps of boy scouts was organized.
BPS" chief staff officer. Lord Ed
ward Cecil. got together the boys in
the village, put them in uniform.
drilled them and used them for carry
ing orders and messages, keeping look
out and acting as orderlies and SO on
thus adding to the strength Of the
firing line by releasing the grown-up
men who had hitherto been employed
on these duties. At the end of 1907
"B.-P." In a series of lectures In DIFF
ferent parts of England suggested
that scouting should be taken up by
the various societies and organiza-
tions that concerned themselves with
the welfare of boys. The idea met
with a success SO immediate and wide
spread that In order to give the move
ment a general uniformity a new or
ganization. called the boy scouts, with
permanent headquarters and an Of
fetal stan. had to be formed. Recruits
have continued to pour in and there
are today probably 100000 boy scouts

more In other parts Of the empire.

MORE NEW HAVEN
 RECOMMENDATION

The probability of the elimination of the smoke and cinder belching steam locomotive from the whole New Haven road is increasing. That com pany has recently received from the Westinghouse plant new high-pow- CT electric locomotive designed to handle freight trains. In a test this engine hauled a train containing thir- ty-seven loaded freight ears from New Rochelle to Stamford at a rate of about forty miles an hour and at one point attained a speed of forty-nine miles an hour.
 The road has already decided to electrify it's passenger service to New Haven, and now that satisfactory freight locomotives seem obtainable, there is every probability that the steam engine will entirely disappear from it's tracks, at least from those west of New Haven. Indeed, the ulti- mate identification of the whole line from New York to Boston seems in evitable. This will be a great boon to thousands of travellers particular ly during the summer season, when the rain of soot and cinders from the smokestack is at it's worst.
 With it's fault of ultra conserva- tism and indifference to the passen- gers rights, as the commuter sees it. the New Haven management has shown boldness in the matter of this new motive power. And on the prin- ciple that the devil (even if he be corporation, and a railroad at thaD deserves his due, the public should give MT. Mellen and bis associates a red mark on the credit side of the ac- count-if for no other reason in the hope that other railroads will go ahead and do likewise.-New York Press.

PRIEST CARES FOR
 MAN HE ACCUSES
Defendant in Father DeBruycker'S Suit ColIapses in Court and Plaintiff Administers Last
 Rites

Hartford, June 29.-While the Super for Court in Putnam was hearing the &. 600 suit of the Rev. Father Arthur DeBruycfer. pastor of St. Mary's Ro- man Catholic Church, of Willimantfc, against Anthony Blum. a stock broker, yesterday afternoon, the priest charg- ing that MT. Blum had swindled him in a mining deal. MT. Blum. who is 8 Roman Catholic, suddenly collapsed on the stand. When it seemed that he would not rally it became necessary for his aocuser to hear his confession and administer to him the last rites of the church.
 A physician who attended MT Blum in the ante-room to which he had been carried said there would be no time to summon any of the priests in the town. As soon as Father DeBrUycker heard of the condition of the man he was suing he came to his side without hes itation. MT. Blum said to the priest that he wanted him to hear his con- fession and give him absolution and extreme junction. So the two were left together till the confession had been heard.
 As Father DeBruycker rose from his knees another priest arrived with the sacred oils and extreme junction was administered without delay.
 Almost immediately afterward there came a heart reaction which resulted in the patient recovering to such an extent that he could be taken to a hotel, and later to his home. in Bos- ten
