COMBINE BLACK AND VIOLET
MIXTURE Of Colors That the Expert
Dressmaker Uses to Much
Advantage.

Dress Is most alluring this season,
and there is such variety in style that
not only every taste but every indi-
vidual figure can be suited. Black
and violet as regards dress for recep-
ton and every afternoon wear is a
fashionable alliance, and We note 1T
principally in taffetas and satin cos
tunes, while with the black cloth or
eponge tailor-made blouse of bright
velvet charmeuse and guipure inser-
ton yelled with black ninon de sole
Is a fitting accompaniment.
The mauve foulard with black or
mauve ninon overskirt Is being ex-
plotted with success, as is the pannier
coat costume of black and deep purple
Liberty satin.
A charming model Of this style has
the coat gathered at the waist, with
belt coming high in front and made
of exquisite black, purple and ecru
embroidery. This continues in band
form on either side of the coat fronts,
while the bodice portion is arranged
IN wide pleats, and the pearl-shaped
sleeves reach only little way below
the elbow.

WELL PEOPLE TOO
Wise Doctor Gives Postum to Con-

A wise doctor tries to give nature it's

strength Of the already exhausted pa
tent, and building up wasted energy
with simple but powerful nourish-
ment.

Now the "Jupe PantaIon."

The latest thing IN tailormades is
the "jupe pantalon" 1t has little IN
common with the "jupe culotte," or
harem skirt, except that that gave US
the bottom of the trousers, and the
"jupe pantalon' gives us the top of
the same garments. 1t is skirt with
a series of little close gatherings at
the waist. These are confined by small
buckles similar to the one used on
mans trousers. At each side of the
skirt is a pocket, and in order to COM
plete the resemblance to masculine
wearing apparel, braces fastened by
buttons back and front hold up the
skirt. With this garment is worn a
shirt Of white percale, perfectly fat
and plain, with long sleeves, wristlets
and high stiff collar, in fact mans
shirt in all its unadorned severity.
The wearers Of the ''jupe pantalon"
costume when sitting around their
clubs, smoking cigarettes. look at first
sight like men in their shirt sleeves.

Useful Word Indeed.

Apparently the popular word OF the
moment in America (where the cleo.
tion is) is bolt" says the London
Chronicle. We read that some one Is
preparing to bolt (meaning to change
sides) and some one else will prob
ably bolt Taft (meaning throw him
over). But these do not end its
meanings. A glance at the dictionary
shows that when you bolt you may
be running away, rushing forward, or
sitting something through a sieve, ac-
cording to the context Further, a
bolt can be an arrow, a roll of canvas,
a bundle of sticks. and a narrow pas.
sage between two houses. And a
plant bolts when it runs to seed. A
very useful word.

Matter of Justice.

Where shall justice begin. with

Justice were done, the weak would
make an effort to give to the strong

should exist anywhere. The unhappy
element In the relations OF the strong
and the weak is that both are think

TRACED TO RACING STABLES
Slang Phrase, Getting His Goat" So
Popular Now, Had Origin in
Actual Occurrence.

Unlike many other vivid or pictur-
esque slang expressions, which en-
rich and enliven the English language,
but the source of which is either OBJ
scure OF totally unknown, the origin
of the phrase, ito get his goat" can
fortunately be traced. Until 1t came
into popular use, about half a dozen
years ago, the phrase was confined to
racing stables and to running horses
and was part Of the language Of the
racetrack.
1t was formerly the rather wide
spread custom among owners of rae
ing stock TO keep a goat In the same
stall with a horse, either from the
superstitious belief in mascots or
from the more scientific belief that
the goat impaired some of his
strength or magnetism to the horse.
Ardent friendships have been known
to spring up between goats and
horses living thus in close intimacy
and sleeping together.
When a horse that had the compan.
ionship of a goat CHANGED to win the
| Jockeys would attribute his success
| to the influence of the goat, and II
happened more than once that a
stable boy would get the goat" of the
winning horse by entering the stable
surreptitiously at night and taking the
animal to the stall of his own favorite.
IL the horse that was deprived Of his
goat friend should lose the next day
and the other horse should win. TINT
would, of course. strengthen the belief
in the efficacy OF the goat.
The practice Of relying on goats to
help a horse win race is said to be
dying out, but II has left behind one
of the most expressive phrases, which
seems destined ultimately to become
as respectable as any English idiom.

a Rust Preventive.

TO keep iron goods of any kind, and
especially those parts of machines
which are made of steel or iron, from
rusting, take one-third ounce Of pow
dered camphor and melt it before the
fire in one pound of good lard. To
give II a dark color, add as much fine
black lead as Is necessary to produce
the desired effect. Clean the iron
work and smear It over with this
preparation. After this 1t should be

For the Small Bow.

One of the prettiest novelties this
season is the suit of brown linen for
small boys. These are embroidered
with silk to match. Sailcloth Is a
practical material; it launders well
holding its color. For warm weather
these are made with knickerbockers
and tunic tops caught about the waist
with belt. Dark blue sailcloth linen
with collars and cuffs of white Is an
other pretty combination.

Old Time Air Of Mystery No Longer
AvaiIs In Business and
Politics.

A few very successful politicians to
the contrary Notwithstanding, frank
ness is a mighty big asset In any kind
OF business, and he who knows how to
use 1t wins.
The other day new grease joint
opened up in our block. 1t wasn't
much OF a place TO look ADJUST the
ordinary cheap restaurant, except that
It was new and clean and there was
very frank sign on the wall. 1t
conveyed this information:
{ PAY your bill and go out through
the kitchen If you want to. There are
no secrets In our business"
That grease joint" is rapidly put
ting its two nearest competitors out
of business. And thus far nobody
has paid his bill and made his exit
faith in the breast Of the hungry.
They looked at the sign and cared to
look no farther. Most of us are
willing to accept on faith that which
we are permitted to examine.
The air of mystery which used TO
cloak big business in industry and pol
itics isn't so much of an asset any
more. In these days we are poking
our fingers into petty nearly every
thing from the milk cans TO the
wheels that go round at 26 Broadway.
Instead OF the old superstitious awe
OF mystery, there is now a distrist
of that which is hidden. Put up any
sort Of prohibitive sign and we con-
slider 1t an invitation to get busy
with the probe. II the sign says
vet paint" we stick our fingers II
It. II It Says mo admittance,' We
promptly bring on the battering ram
to get in and find out why.
But frankness, confidence in your
nelghbor and the public promptly al
lays curiosity and begets confidence
in return. The man who throws his
cards face up on the table and reaches
for the money can pocket 1t without
protest. Permission to get into the
kitchen and find out what we are eat
ing and how it is prepared is all We
ask. We take it for granted that
whatever is in the open is right, hon.
est and satisfactory.
And the moral of the tale applies
with equal force and equal practicable
ity to business and to personal con.

The corsace Bouquet.

The corsage bouquet is one OF the

very pretty miracle. The most fash

Electric Lights.

The cost OF installing electric lights
on a farm, including outbuildings, is
estimated as $3.50. The engine needs
TO be operated only about eight hours
every week. There is no danger from
handling the live wires OF such home
plant, since the voltage seldom ex-
ceeds 30, and with good wire there is
little danger from fire. Many farm
ers have begun TO install electric
plants OF this kind. Electric lights IN
the barn are particularly desirable in
the winter months, when II gets dark
early.
