Accorded Full Title.

One of the New York representa-
tives in congress tells of a social
function in an assembly district po-
litical club on the East side, whereat
the chairman of the entertainment
committee acted as master of cere-
monies.
The chairman was very busy intro
ducing the newly-arrived members OF
the club to the guests, who included a
number of municipal officers. The
representative mentioned was pre-
scented in a way to halve his official
honors with his wife, as The Honor
able and Mrs. Congressman Blank. "
Next came a couple who were not
known to the master Of ceremonies
but, after receiving the correct name
In a whisper, he announced:
"Mr. and Mrs. Inspector OF Hy
drants, Faucets and Shopworks Ca
sey."-Lippincott's.

BELT IS AN IMPORTANT ITEM
No Woman With Care to the General
Effect Of Her Costume
May Ignore II.

Now that the waist is defined In
stead Of being merged in the straight
line from the arms to the hem of the
skirt, which vogue was fashionable
last year, belts, sashes and girdles of
all kinds become a highly important
item Of the toilet
The variations rung upon the sim
pie theme of the belt are legion, and
any original idea that can be carried
out merits appreciation. Plenty of
change can be secured by the arrange
ment of the loops that form a bow.
In some cases they stand high, in
others they fall downward. and one
famous modiste approves of a belt
with sash ends and no loops.
She swathes around the waist a
rather broad width of satin, with folds
of a contrasting color at the edges,
and adds single spade-shaped end
OF material, the upper part of which
has a yelling Of heavy lace. The end
falls in the center at the back or In

The speaker was r. Marriott
Thompson, the San Francisco scienti-
fic management expert He continued,
says the New York Tribune:
I'VE scientific managers mustn't go
as far as Hustler went.
"Hussler wass the proprietor of a
tremendous factory where scientific
management had reduced the mo-
tions of every hand from SEQ to II.
Hustler attended a very fashionable
wedding one day, a wedding where
the ceremony was performed by a
bishop assisted by a dean and a
canon, and in the most impressive
part of the writ, Hustler, overcome by
his scientific management ideas, rush
ed up te, the altar and pushed the
bishop and canon rudely back.

SWEETNESS THAT ALL ADMIRE
FavorIte Old Recipe for Pot Pourri
Guaranteed to Give the
Best Results.

A favorite old recipe for pot pourri
is made up thus: The proportions
may BE lessened or increased as de-
sired: Take one-half pound Of COM
mon salt, one-fourth Of saltpetre, one
fourth ounce of storax, half dozen
cloves, a handful of dried bay leaves,
handful of dried lavender flowers.
Mix these well together to form the
basis of the pot pourri, and 1t will
last for years. Rose petals and the
leaves or flowers of other fragrant
plants gathered on dry days may be
added to the Jar from time to time, or
a few drops of the essential oil of per-
fume flowers, such as oil of geranium,
roses, ETC., may be added to make up
delicate bouquet perfume. II liked
also powdered benzoin-do not con-
fuse with benzine-chips of sandal
, wood. cinnamon, orrisroot-indeed, al
most any pleasing aromatic plant,
dried, may be mixed In. The lid OF
the rose Jar may be lifted from time
to time to allow the fragrance to ex-
hale into the room and should some
time afterward be replaced to pre-
serve the perfume.

Really Had Best Of IL.

John Burroughs is wa known as
one Of the foremost nature writer's
n this country. Some time ago he
visited his brother, Eden Burroughs,
Who lives in the Catskills, at place
called Hobart. The two brothers went
for hunting together. The honor of
the hunt came to Eden, who shot the
only fox. So 1t happened thai fox
skins we're worth five dollars at that
tine, and the successful Nimrod took
much pride in telling how he got the
better of the sage of Slabsides. Later,
IN boasting to few friends about it

he was Interrupted by, You have
Dragged about that fox hunt long

skin and got five dollars. | wrote a

WITHOUT THE COLLAR
WAISTS THAT ARE COMFORTABLE
AND BECOMING.
Many Styles to Select From, and Wide
Variety Admits of Choice That
Will Suit the indi-
VIduaI Style.

The collarless waist makes a su-
perb setting for a pretty head, and as
the season advances one sees more
and more of such comfortable and be-
coming styles. Any sort of stock on
a very warm day gives a warm look,
and so the women who can wear the
throat-line, or semi-decollete thing.
and wear 1t with an extra advantage
to her appearance, is in her element.
For her less blessed sister there are
wonderful coquetries in high collars,
the Robespierre, an immensely high
turnover of lace or tucked muslin at
tached to a silk stock and cravat,
being the favorite. For the very thin
throat, and those injured by the wings
of time, there are also collar guimpes
of flesh colored tulle, these giving
quite a look of low cut at a distance
white hiding such physical defects as
exist.
Very plain bodice lines are affected
by many stylish women who know that
their figures look better without full
ness and the patchy effect of much
trimming. and the illustration demon.
strates a model of this sort for the
home sewer who has the same needs.
The waist is a scant double-breasted
affair, with kimono shoulder cut, the
lJw armhole and long tight sleeves. A
dat collar and ''rabat" Of lace prettily
6nish the neck, but the long sleeves
also permit the Robespierre collar. and

Shirts Of Good Taste.

1t may be said in general way that
the mannish shirt" thin enough to
display the lingerie beneath, Is never
in quite the best taste. Pink and blue
ribbons cleaning through embroidery
and lace are all very well. but they
somehow detract from the spie and
span look of a trimly-tailored waist.
The best models of this sort, it is to
be noted, are built of closely woven.
