MATERIALS FOR
WINTER REVERSIBLE
They Appear in Gowns, Wraps
and Accessories-Ratine
for Tailormades.

Undoubtedly the reversible materials
are 10 be the grand chic for fall and
winter. Latest advices from Paris are
to the effect that these new fabric fas-
cinations are appearing in model wraps,
dresses, suits and the various aCcesso-
ries. And there's as great variety In
these double-face weaves as in the
uses to which they are to be put. A
satin so soft as to be called duchesse
mousseline is yet heavy enough to be
satisfactory i'm almost any garment. 1t
has Just enough simmer TO be beauti-
full without any of the glare OF the
somewhat painful satins OF old. In
many instances n side is black, the
reverse being soft blue, green or a one
between cerise and fuchsia; while most
of them show a plain colorcd reverse,
there are a few shaded stripes.
These have attracted a lot Of atten-
ton, and plenty of other variations will
appear in the ours Of a very few
weeks. one OF these is a fine new
satin cloth.
In these pleasing novelties one side
is plain, while the other side Is plaided.
\ buyer now In Paris sends word that
she has bought a model ce this cloth
in navy blue, the other side being
richly plaided in chiefly blues and
greens. a lovely combination. The
skirt shows a tunic which turns back,
making a plaid Teyer, while the same
plaid is displayed on the revers and
cuffs OF the somewhat heightened coat.
The buttons are likewise covered with
the plaid.
There's a new ratine. 1t is much
lighter than used for motor coats and
is scheduled for a success in tailor
mades. Perhaps It win win out The
world at large did not excite itself,
however, when Paris launched ratine
two years ago, because 1t was woolly,
and therefore would wear off, and be-
cause it lacked firmness and therefore
would not stay tailored like a good
quality Of serge or cheviot.
This new ratiHe for suits is in a much
finer weave, and it shows one sid en-
tireiy OF wool, while the reverse is en-
tiralv of silk
All sorts of sartorial tricks win be
resorted to for the effective display of
these reversible novelties.

To a Hoppino Toad.

Now softly doth the hopping toad
SEedaddle or his way
Down yonder hot and dusty road
Throughout the summer day.
Anon he sidesteps to the right.
Anon he skips aDace;
And now and then he stops his fight
And swallows with his face.
Prehensile organs he hath not
To any marked degree:
Nor caudal affix hath he got
At his extremity.
A sturdy, stocky little chap,
With gullet -four by nine:
The hops he hops al everp lap
Amaze more wits than mine.
His little bowlegs squat awhile,
Then hurtle through the air:
But though you look for him a mile,
That hop-toad isn't there.

KEEPING GUTTER o 0

A convenient and easy way to keep
butter cool is by applying the principle
of cooling by evaporation, as used in
the wet bulb of the wet and dry bulb
hygrometer. The butter is placed In a
closed receptacle (butter dish with lid
and after this has been placed in a
soup plate containing water a wet
cloth is put owe the dish with its ends
in the water, says the Chicago Tribune.
Evaporation goes on at the surface
of the cloth and more water is sup
pied to the cloth from the plate below.
This keeps the cloth and dish inside at
a few degrees below the atmospheric
temperature and by this means butter
can be kept firm in the hottest days.

LONG UMBRELLA HANDLES.

New poses of grace and coquetry will
be possible with the umbrellas which
have just come into fashion. These
umbrellas have handles as long as, or
longer than the summer p~arasols, some
Of them reaching as high as a short
woman's shoulder. These new UNI
brellas are also in most cheerful color

umbrella of gay color and a silk petit
coat and chiffon veil exactly matching
it in shade.

DEATH BEFORE 100
YEARS IS SUICIDE
Prof. Munyon Says Ignorance
of Laws of Health Explains
Early End of Life.
NOTED SCIENTIST HAS
ENCOURAGING WORD
FOR DESPONDENT
MEN AND WOMEN

death before 100 years OF age has
been reached is nothing more or less
than slow suicide. A man Cor woman)
who dies at an earlier age is simply igno-
rant OF the laws Of health"
Such was the original and rather
startling statement made by Professor
James M; Munyon, the famous Philadel-
phia health authority, who is establish
ing health headquarters in all the large
cities of the world for the purpose of get
ting In direct touch with his thousands
OF converts.
Professor Munyon is a living embodi-
ment of the cheerful creed he breaches.
Virile, well poised, active and energetic,
he looks as though he would easily at
clares is the normal one. He said:
II want the people Of the world to
know my opinions on the subject Of
health, which are the fruit of a lifetime
devoted to healing the sick, people OF
America. There isn't a building in this
city big enough to house the people in
through my methods. Before 1 get
through there won't be a building big
enough to house my cured patients in
this city alone.
IT want, most of all, to talk to the sick
people-the inyalds, the discouraged
ones, the victims of nerve-wearing, body
racking diseases and ailments-for these
are the ones to whom the message II
hope which 1 bear will bring the great
est blessing.
"I want to ak to the rheumatics, the
sufferers from stomach ITOuDlS, the ones
afflicted with that noxious disease, ca
tarrh. / want to tell my story to the
women who have become chronic in
valids as a result of nervous troubles. I
want TO talk to the men who are all run
down. whose health has been broker by
overwork, improper diet, late hours and
other causes, and who feel the creeping
clutch of serious, chronic illness.
&c these people I bring g. story os
hope. l car give them a promise of bet
ter things. I want to astonish them by
showing the record Of cures performed
through my new system of treatment.
IT ave taken the best Of the ideas
from all schools and embodied them in
a new system Of treatments individually
adapted TO each particular case. I ave
no cure alls,' but my present method OF
attacking disease is the very best thought
Of modern science. The success which I
have had with these treatments in this
city and all over America proves it's eff
cLcy. Old methods must give away to
new medical science moves. I now what
my remedies are doing for humanity
everywhere. I know what they will do
for thu people Of this city. Let me prove
my statements-that's all I ask"

IDEAS FOR CHRISTMAS.

A woman who owns a good camera
even though it be a small one, may be-
gin her Christmas presents right now
by taking attractive little pictures
which may later on be mounted on
blotters, calendars and the like and
give a note Of personality to her gifts.
There are special photograph colors by
which the black and white prints may
be tinted in artistic style and without
the need of any special artistic train
ing. With a camera and these colors
delightful booklets and other remen-
brances may be provided for during
vacation DAYS.

An effective centerpiece for the

Many of these vases are loosely woven
and dull red or green pottery peers
through the interstices. They ear be

SATIN COATS.

Satin coats of every conceivable style
are in evidence, and, in spite Of the
fact that there are many coats of this
material made in the cheaper grades, a
satin s:3t ec ceat IS distinctly oDula

The long coats are on the same or
der as those seen during the winter,
being straight and narrow in outline
and drawn across the front to fasten
very low and far to the left.

BAGS TO BE SMALLER,

There is every indication that the
handbag will be smaller for the fall
than for several seasons. Women are
tired of carrying bags as cumbersome
as suitcases wherever they go. Even
the bags made like the dresses show
the same tendency to shrink in size.
All that is needed to fill a bag that goes
with a gown is a handkerchief, a fan
and possibly q bit of needlework, and
there is no use in the valises some
women have been carving.
