NESTS MADE OF BANK NOTES,

A pair of swallows of Fferberbrunn
in the Tryol have stolen a number of
10 honen bank notes to line their
nest.
The parent birds discovered that
the new notes are just the shade OF

being tough but flexible and exactly

nest and the missing notes were only
discovered when the swallows had
abandoned it and it fell to the ground.

Rich Street Gowns.

With the exception Of a very few
costumes, street gowns in the present
season are matters Of such elaboration
as to make them particularly difficult
to describe in class by themselves.
To be sure, there are numbers of two

and coat for which waist must be
designed unless the shirtwaist is re
sorted to; but the majority of street
costumes of today represent an under.

CAT FINDS HIDDEN TREASURE

A cat chased a mouse under foot
stool in the home of Henry Karg of
New York. The cat squeezed part
way under the stool, then thrust it's
paw up into a hole in the bottom of
the stool
Presently down came the paw with
out the mouse, but with $50 bill
sticking to one of the claws. The
members Of the Karg family at once
suspended housekeeping to explore
the hole in the footstooI.

in the stool, which had been knocked
around the house ever since the death

her hoard. Part of the treasure trove

MUST FIT PROPERLY
MOST IMPORTANT POINT IN MAT
TER OF GLOVES.
Worn Too Tight, They Will Spoil the
Look of Even the Most Dainty
Hand-First Putting on
important.

Nothing makes a hand more unnat-
ractive than a glove that is too tight.
Yet how often one sees women with
their hands almost bursting from their
gloves, SO tightly are they squeezed
into them.
a too tight glove will make even a
slender, graceful hand look common
place and pudgy and a hand inclined to
flesh almost repulsive. So in choosing
gloves one should be very careful to
get them large enough, and to have
the patience to have them properly
fitted in the first place by a good glove
filter.
If they are not fitted properly at
first the tips Of the fingers never work
down and the hand is made ridiculous
and doWdy by the pointed tips. If the
fitting is properly done the gloves will
not twist and wrinkle, and will actual
~ wear longer than if hurried care
lessly over the fingers for the first
time
If one has to put on gloves without
the assistance Of a filter the hands
should be warm and the gloves well
powdered, then the fingers should be
insinuated into their receptacles, and
finally the thumb and the hand should
be fitted, but not until the fingers have
been carefully worked in. To remove
the glove pull it over the hand and
do not drag it by the finger tips, for
this spOils the shape completely. After
removing the gloves and turning them
right side again they should have the
stretchers used to restore the shape
and should be sprinkled again with
powdered French chalk
Fresh gloves are a necessary ad-
juuot to the toilet Of the woman seek
ing daintiness, but when they are
cleaned they should be cleaned sew
eral days before they are to be worn,
so that the fumes Of gasoline, and no
oder is more Objectionable to the sen
sitive nostril, may entirely disappear,
otherwise the whole effect of ones
personality may be marred by the dis
agreeable fumes Of gasoline.

LEARN TO WALK PROPERLY
Matter of Much Importance, Too Ere
quentiy Overlooked. is Acquire
ment of Correct Gait.

Practically every woman walks far
too rapidly for anything like grace to
enter into her movements.
A tall woman for some reason walks
more slowly than a short one. Her
elbows, shoulders and hips move from
side to side.
If you want to be graceful, don't
look at your feet, but hold your head
well up in the air Don't shuttle. A
little thoughtfulness and practice in
high stepping will soon break you Of
this ugly habit. Don't bend your
back at the waist, under the impress
sion that you are thereby walking
erectly. 1t throws the stomach for
ward, and is almost as inimical to
grace as round shoulders
Finally, don't allow yourself to
walk 'pigeon-toed' is, with the
toes turned in or straight.
1t is always hard to tell what to
do with the hands. The natural way,
to have them hanging at the sides. or

Frinoe Trimmings,

Fringes are seen On many of the
new lingerie gowns as girdle and
tunic trimming. One beautiful variety
is of knotted silver braid, very long,
and with the strands set very far
apart
Strips of cut cloth and leather in
Indian fashion trim walking frocks.
Coarse crochet has several sizes of
small wooden beads knotted into it.
This last gives charming color posi-
bilities in odd, crazy-quilt effects.
BIT the best of these fringe trim
mings is that most of them can be
duplicated by the home seamstress,
thus saving money and gaining orig
inality by modification.

TRUE NOTE IN DECORATION
Fitness of Useful and Ornamental Ar
tcles in Room Must Be First
Consideration.

The true method of making a room
beautiful is to make all the necessary
and useful things in it beautiful: so
much is this true that it becomes al
most impossible to design a really
beautiful room that is to have no use
full work done in it or natural life
lived in it. An architect called upon
to design a room in which nothing
more earnest is to be done than to
gossip over afternoon teas has a sad
job.
For room must always derive it's
dignity or meanness from, and reflect
somewhat, the character and kind of
occupation which is carried on in it.
For instance, the studio of an artist,
the study Of man of letters, the
workshop Of a carpenter, or the
kitchen Of farmhouse, each in its DO
sition and degree, derives a dignity
and interest from the work done in
1t. And the things in the room bear
some relation to that work, and will
be the furniture and surroundings nat
ural to it; as the bench and tools in
the carpenters shop; the easels and
canvases in the studio; the books and
papers in the study; and the bright
pans and crockery In the kitchen. All
these lend sense of active, useful,
human life to the room, which re-
deems it from vulgarity, though it be
the simplest possible; and no amount
Of decoration or ornamentation can
give dignity or LONELINESS to a room
which is used as show room, or In
which no regular useful life is lived.
For in the work room all things have
a place by reason of their usefulness,
which gives a sense Of fitness and re-
pose entirely wanting in a room where
a place has obviously had to be found
for everything, as in a drawing room,

PANIC AMONG IRISH BIRDS

A mysterious panic has caused ex-
traordinary phenomena among the
bird life of the south Of Ireland. In
Carlow starlings and curlews have
made the night sleepless for the in
habitants with their discordant cries.
Judging by their wild, erratic fight,
the birds appeared to be in a state Of
panic from some unknown cause. The
starlings showed an even stranger dis
quietude, dashing themselves to death
against church spires, house fronts
and telegraph poles and wire. Thou
sands of them filled the streets, and
large numbers entered the open win
dows of houses, and, flying wildly
about, smashed fragile articles, such
as vases, on mantelpieces and side
boards. Many dropped into the River
Barrow and were drowned.

Small Girls HobbIe Skirt.

There is apparently considerable di-
Fersity of opinion as regards the cor
rect position for the belt on the small
girls frock. Many of the smartest lit
tie French dresses show the sash in
practically normal place, while on 9th
er fTocks the belt is so far down as to
hamper the tiny wearer in her walk al
most as absurdly as does the hobble
skirt of the moment inconvenience her
elders. The abnormalIy Iong-waisted
effect obtained by placing the belt al
most at the hem of the frock is charm
ingly quaint on some children. but is
not becoming to every type.-Harper's
