AI|uring Snake AnkIets.

This scaremouse anklet has several
cities agoe. 1t is a first cousin TO the
bracelet. only lower down on the tree,
and suggests Edenic loveliness. TOT
generally the new anklet is MADE In
the form of a gold snake, with gem
set head.
1t is a diamond headed RATHER, and
SO fascinating that it will hold In thraii
the most blase of the population. some
persons refuse to believe they see 1t,
others sign the pledge until they are
convinced
Chicago first reported the modern
anklet. having observed it being borne
by one of the Windy citys most 1as-
chatting daughters of Eve
Semiramis had one which causeq
sensation in ancient NineVah, ana set
a style which later made the prophets
preach against It,
The anklet has arrived again, ana is
worn over silk mesh and is accom-
nanied by a frou-frou wherever it
goes The first anklets were worn
over the bare ankles. but the times
have changed, and now they are dis
played over the tops OF hign- heeled
pumps, resting jauntily upon the sheer
stocking Of this modern day.
These anklets are quite easily at
tached, for the body. of the snake is
composed of interlocking plates, which
reverse and held tightly after the
length has been drawn through d Knot
made by the tail.
So far the purveyors or the orna-
ments make only anklets of solid gold
and real diamonds when they get spe-
cial orders from those willing to spend
from $500 to 81 900 on one.

THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

oh. friend never strike sail to fear. Come
into port greatly sail with God the He
has not learned the lesson Of life who does not
every day surmount fear. Emerson.
Can you imagine mother who delib
erately handicaps a child by encouraging
physical defect?
OF course not. And yet how often you
come into contact with cases in which
by encouraging habits of mind which led
to mental defects.
l am thinking especially just now of
the child who is afraid of thunderstorms.
In nine cases out of ten when a child
is unreasonably terrified by a thunder
storm 1t is the mothers fault.
Sometimes she is to blame because she
has deliberately encouraged the child by
letting him see that he can hold the
center of attention whenever there is
thunderstorm if he will yield completely
to his fear, and by talking in his pres
ence about how terribly he suffers during
thunderstorms and about his high-strung
and nervous temperament.
More often she is to blame because she
does nothing or not nearly enough to
overcome the child's fear.
Most children are naturally terrified by
heavy crashes of thunder and vivid light
ming
But there are two ways of treating that
terror.
One is to sympathze with it and make
much of it and increase it by all the
power of suggestion.
The other is to pass it off as lightly
as possible and interest the child in other
things, even in the beautiful impress
sive aspect of the storm itself.
| l was with a very wise mother the
other day during terrific thunderstorm.
1t was the biggest storm her little four
year-old daughter had ever witnessed.
| and, of course, at first she was inclined
to be much frightened Instead of yield
| ing to and sympathizing with this ter
ror, the mother drew her little girls at
tention to the great beauty of the light
ming, got her to watch for especially
magnificent zigzags, told her the dear
old folk story of Hendrix Hudson rolling
his great balls in the mountains, ex-
planned to her how little real reason for
fear there was and soon had her inter-
The child will doubtless grow up with
out the needless discomfort of terror
every time the sky darkens as If for a
thunderstorm.
few people-and l mean very few, and
it's a thousand to one you are not one
of them-who are SO full of electricity
that a thunderstorm does affect them
physically.
They cannot wholly overcome their ter
ror.
Furthermore, there is certain amount
of absolutely reasonable alarm, natural
fear of being struck when thunder
storm is close at hand. That you can
not blame any one for feeling, although
think that ito reckon danger too seri-
ously, to hearken too intently for the
threat that runs through all the winning
music of the world" to hold back the
hand from the rose because of the thorn
and from life because of DEATH is to
| lose half the worth of living.
| But, aside from these two conditlons'
think that fear of thunderstorm is
something to be very much ashamed OF
and that the mother who does not oo
| everything in her power to help her chiid
overcome it. or, better still, keep MN
| from acquiring it, is doing very wrong
thing.

Hints to Travellers.

Fruit, says great doctor, is the best
Of diet for travellers.
The system, more particularly of deli
cate people, is liable to become heated by
a railway Journey. and while meat sand
witches and the like will probably increase
the tendency to disarrangement, fruits,
more especially those containing a deli
cate acid, are inval BILE in their cooling
and refreshing properties.
Sandwiches of sponge cake with layer
of some favorite fruit in between the
slices are palatable, but they must be
carefully packed, or will not look tempt
ing.
Grapes are the most refreshing fruit of
all on journey. They should be fine hot
house ones if possible
Peaches. nectarines and pears are excel
lent fruits to eat on a journey, since they
supply both food and drink. Packed in
baskets, they should be literally covered
with fresh green leaves. A silver pocket
knife wherewith to peel off the skin is,
of course, a necessity as an accompani-
ment to these or any other fruit OF the
kind
Grape fruit is perhaps the most whole
some and the most digestive ann thirst
quenching of all fruits. But no one can
deny that it is cumbersome to take about
in its original form. 1t is best, therefore,
to squeeze the juice carefully through
coarse muslin, and pour it into bottle
with little sugar added at the last mo-
ment. Diluted with plain or soda water
it makes a delicious beverage for the
traveller.
A green apple proves a sovereign rem
edy sometimes if slowly chewed by him
or her who is bad sailor. A fine drink
for the traveller is cold tea, made rather
strong and favored with lemon. 1t coun-
teracts headache, and soothes the system
in wonderful way.

To Clean Dark Gowns.

From month to month we go on wear
ing black clothes. and We never seem 10

enough that the dirt doesn't show''-we
don't worry at all about it's being there
all the time. Think how quickly soiled
white garment would be and how a cou-
Pile OF days makes our muslin waists
yearn for the washtub, and perhaps you
will realize that black. too, is unhygieni,
and unclean, even when ii looks all right.
and much more so when 1t has actually
the appearance OF being soiled and rusty.
At any time the appearance of black
clothes may be greatly improved IL they
are thoroughly sponged with a strong in
fusion Of tea or coffee, provided they are
first Of all we'll brushed and shaken But
they may also be washed without coming
TO grief. Experiment with a blouse and
go on to a skirt. and you will soon see
how successfully wolfe. serge. cashmere.
lawn and cloth may be cleansed.
Add a little ammonia TO lukewarm wa
ter and well souse the garment, without,
however, rubbing it; then take IL out.
squeeze but do not wiring It. plunge 1t
into cold water, then hang it, dripping. in
the air to dry, having selected, of course.
a fresh and breezy day for washing. Be-
fore beginning the process all stains
should first be removed.
