there is not a generous amount. But
the correct grain must always be fol-
lowed. Hold the pieces of the pattern
up to the child before laying on the
cloth, so as to see If lengths and widths
are going to be right
The sleeves should he cut to cover the
wrist bone when finished, and 1t is of the
greatest Importance that they should be
laid on the material the right way. The

THE USE, NOT THE
ABUSE OF PERFUME

To the girl of fastidious taste the
strong and blatant use Of perfumes is
Objectionable. And men are even violent
in their denunciation. Yet there is no.
thing sweeter than a dainty girl. unless it
is dainty baby.
1t is not the use but the abuse Of per-
fumes and sachets that is Objectionable
The girl who wishes to guard against
this should remember that all she wants
is to have her clothes tinged with q
breath Of delicate odor. which is never
detected unless one is quite close, says
the New York Times.
To accomplish this one should be care
full in bestowing sachets about the cloth
ing. They should always be cut to fit
the place where they are to go. Some
times they are in the shape Of rose petals
to fit the artificial roses which one wears
in bodice or hair, or they are made long
and thin to be worn underneath q dog
collar which clasps the neck.
1t is rather a fad with some sgirls to
have their soap scented with their own
perfume. Many girls use perfume in
their rooms by spraying it about, or by
burning sticks that are manufactured on
the order Of the Chinese joss ones.
Sachets made of perfumed chamois are
excellent for street wear. and also serve
as an undervest. And there are girls
who like to have furs scented, because
most pelts are apt to have a disagreeable
odor, particularly in damp weather. To
pour perfume upon them Is vandalism.
for they are injured by contact with
alcohol. So sachets should be slipped be-
tween the Innings, and the furs. when
put away, should be rolled in wool sat-
urated with the perfume.

To Make an Aquarium.
From the Philadelphia Star.


when a woman comes to me to ask
how to make an aquarium I advise her
to use about three times as much water
and a third less fish than she has in
mind" said a man who knows all about
such things. las a rule people who make
acquariums think more Of the appearance
than of the life Of the fish. AS conse-
quence in q few months there are no
fish.
Fish cannot live II they are over
crowded. never recommend globes.
They are pretty. much prettier. sup
pose, to people who do not know about
fish than the straight sided jars, but they
have not enough air surface Plenty of
air surface is essential If you want to
keep fish alive.
After getting sufficient air surface put
a layer of sand or gravel in the bottom.
I believe down here We use the gravel
almost exclusively. because we can get
it easier. The next point, and perhaps 1t
is as important as any other, Is getting
the right proportion Of plant and animal
matter. Down here We figure on about
eight gallons Of water to four small fish,
with enough plants to give out the oxy-
gen the fish will use up. 1t is much bet
ter to have more water and plants than
the ash require than too little.
Where there is enough plant matter
to keep the water fresh and you are care
full to keep out all decaying matter there
Is no reason why your fish should not live
years instead of months. Light is also
an essential, but not the direc; rays Of
the sun II there il not enough light the
plants will not supply the oxygen.
Fresh water fontinalis. sagittaria,
ard duckweed are all good. Duckwced
is used as a floating plant ON the surface.
For salt water fish there are the various
kinds Of seaweed.,

ATTORNEYS FIGHT
STIRS ROCKVILLE
Attack on r. C. l.. M0ncure
ROuses Citizens.

Although it was learned yesterday that
r. c. l.. Moncure's left eye might be
saved, and that there was no prospect
Of his wounds resulting fatally. the as
sault upon the Virginia lawyer at Rock
willie courthouse on Wednesday us still
stirring Rockville, Md, to its depths.
Public indignation seems to he growing
instead Of cooling. and the entire COM
munity is taking an active interest in
seeing that Mr.. Moncure receives justice.
A mass meeting of the towns inhabi-
tants is not unlikely.
States Attorney Waters was in con-
ference yesterday with Morris wamplef
and William klok, Mr.. Moncure's law
partners, and it was decided to arrest
Peyton Whalen, Joseph Whalen. and
Joshua Offutt on warrants charging them
with assault with intent to kill Their
hearing was set for February 2. They
were arrested right after the assault. but
were released on their personal bonds OF
$500 each
The charge Of attempting to kill Mr.
Moncure will probably cause a heavy
bond to be demanded.
Mr.. Wampler was arrested yesterday
on a warrant sworn out by Peyton Wha-
len. who charged he feared bodily injury
from the attorney Justice Edmondston
granted Mr.. Wampler's request for an
immediate trial and dismissed him, wha-
len declaring he was not ready for trial.
DR.. w. P. Ioncure, Of Fairfax, Va.
said yesterday over the long-distance
telephone, in conversation with DR.. H.
Clifton King, 1422 X street northwest,
that his sons condition was fairly good
and he expected to be able to remove
him to Washington to-day to secure
treatment for his eye.
