Travellers Helps.

A treasure for the traveller is a new
blouse which has four different incar-
nations and which will provide exact
ly the right sort of costume for vari-
GUS occasions. There Is, first, founda-
ton of cream shadow lace which fits
neatly, though not snugly, and which
is perfectly plain, with stock col
lar attached at the neck One of the
transformations Is in the shape of a
deep lace bertha, square in shape,
which drops over the shoulders. A
draped silk girdle, edged with fringe,
accompanies the bertha; and also an
other Transforming factor-a graceful
fichu of chiffon weighted with little
glass buttons. There are, lastly, two
surplice warehouses, one of dark chif-
fon and the other of black crepe me-
teor. The chiffon overblouse may be
had in sage green, tan, navy or white.
otherwise the blouse is black and
white.

WAYS OF HOLDING sUNSHADE
Gracefulness in This Respect Adds
Much Charm to the General
Appearance.

The sunshade seems to be rock
upon which many woman's good
taste hopelessly founders. Not only
does one often see uncomfortable color
mixtures, but quite as often the sun
shade is held so ungracefully that the
whole effect is awkward and clumsy.
There ought to be classes on How to
Hold the Sunshade," and nine women
out of ten would benefit from the les
sons, but as no enterrrising individual
has originated the idea, / can only
recommend a little practice before a
long mirror. Also take note of the
following: ID See that you do not
grasp the handle as If it were an i'm
plement of war. (2) Do not hold it
too near the center Of the handle nor
too near the tip-both these faults are
very common, and give a most awk-
ward appearance. 60 Don't use it as
walking stick nor, if it has crook
handle, hang it on your arm. (4) Hold
it lightly and easily little distance
from the top of the handle and at a
slightly slanting angle.

WILLING TO SHARE PENNIES
Generous Act of Street Wait That
Gained Him a Friend In
Great Novelist.

Charles Dickens, the creator Of
many delightful child characters,
earned a million dollars during his
lifetime with his pen, but often walk
ed the streets of London in search OF
material for his books without penny
in his pocket.
One evening while doing this he
was accosted by a small boy who
asked him for penny. Dickens search
ed his pockets, but they were empty,
and 80 he told the boy, who was shiv-
ering in the cold.
Poor mani" exclaimed the little
fellow, well go hunks together!"
Dickens stood back in the shadow
Of the street to see what the outcome
would be. The lad continued to beg,
and finally gained two pennies. He
came dancing to Dickens with jolly
ring in his voice.
Now" he said, well have two hot
buns aIiece!"
Such generous spirit under such
trying circumstances struck Dickens
so forcibly that he took the lad home
with him, and there he was fed and
clothed, and started on the road to a
better life.

WiIIino to Oblioe.

A story comes from town where
firms advertise to sell fish direct to
small purchasers. The glowing adj
vertisements asked for the sending
of half dollar with a list of the va
rieties of fish preferred. One letter
read:

ing, a dozen fresh herring, some f1oun-
ders, and if you have them you can
add a lobster"
The next day the lady received a
letter, which ran:

GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP
NO Medicine So Beneficial to Brain
and Nerves.

Lying awake nights makes it hard
to keep awake and do things in day
time. To take "tonics and stimulants"
under such circumstances is like set
ting the house on fire to see If you
can put it out
The right kind Of food promotes re-
freshing sleep at night and wide
awake individual during the day.
A lady changed from her old way Of
eating Grape-Nuts, and says:
For about three years / had been
a great sufferer from Indigestion.
After trying several kinds Of medicine,
the doctor would ask me to drop of
potatoes, then meat, and so on, but in
a few days that craving, gnawing feel
ing would start UP, and I would vomit
everything I ate and drank.
When 1 started on Grape-Nuts, vom-
ting stopped, and the bloated feeling
which was SO distressing disappeared
entirely.
my mother was very much bothered
with diarrhoea before commencing the
Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was
so weak she could not digest her food
Since using Grape-Nuts food she is
well, and says she don't think she
could do without it.
ut is great brain restorer and
nerve builder, for can. sleep as. sound
and undisturbed after a supper Of
Grape-Nuts as in the old days when I
could not realize what they meant by
a bad stomach There is no medi-
cine so beneficial to nerves and brain
as good nights sleep, such as you
can enjoy after eating Grape-Nuts."

Father was walking to Sunday
school with little Johnny, and endeav-
oring to improve the time by teaching
Johnny his Golden Text, the words Of
which were: Whatsoever man SOW
eth, that shall he also reap" Johnny
repeated it after his father several
times, and seemed to have mastered
the correct wording.
AS they drew near the Sunday
school the father gave Johnny his
last rehearsal. Now, son." he said,

without any help from me:
This is what he got from Johnny:

sinqIna and Che LUNGS.

1t is we'll known that singing, like
whistling, is fine exercise for the
lungs, and some doctors advise those
who fear consumption to go in for
singing for this reason.
At the same time they, of course,
do not advance the claim that singing
alone will save anyone from or cure
consumption. Acquire the habit Of
taking the big deep breath, which is a
primary requisite of any kind of sing
ing, bad or good, and the physical
joy derived from it will never allow
YOU to relapse into lazy breathing.

When Colonel Glider had been
called to town that morning on bust
ness, leaving his daughter Floy and
the cook to care for the house, he had
said to the girl before leaving:
Daughter, remember what / have
told you many times over. A tramp
may appear during my absence. You
will be sitting here on the veranda.
He will gruff1y demand food or
money. You will order him away in

but he won't CO., she said.

An hour later, as Miss Floy reclined
in rocker on the veranda, a burly
big tranp turned in at the gate. He
had a Swagger to his shoulders and
q bad face. AS FIRST military move

she assumed very stern and I'M

Missy, could get bite to eat at
the kitchen?' was gruffly asked.
"No, sir No tramps fed here"
The man shrugged his shoulders
and looked around in a leering way.
He was about to observe that the
rich were growing richer and the
poor poorer, and that there was no
longer a show for a hard working
man, when Miss Floyd retired within
the Notifications to secure the first
advantage. The tramp took it that

nPunch Work"

In all lines of embroidery work that
is known as punch work" still leads.
For the benefit of the uninitiated it
it might be explained that the word
punch" is used for the reason that
the open weave which is characteris-
tic of the material employed provides
a liberal space for needle to punch
itself between the threads and carry
the embroidering material with it

Corsets for Fall

The widespread discussion of panier
styles is doubtless responsible for tle
reports regarding change in corset
lines, says the Dry Goods Economist.
There is no cause for alarm, however,
as the straight line still dominates
both in costumes and in corsets. We
shall have many paniers, to be sure,
but they are modified styles with no
fullness to distend the hip line.
Belts also will be widely used, but
they will not draw in the waists. In
fact, they are wholly ornamental and
used in quite loose effect.

Footgear, for those who can afford
the most expensive, is more than beau
tiful, and the fancy now is for kid
instead of for suede footgear, and the
colors, if they do not match the dress,
harmonic with the hat or with the
lining of the coat.
Naturally, the beauty of such foot
gear must be matched by exceedingly
lovely hosiery, made of silk inset with
lace, and some of it Is actually traced
with millinery diamonds or colored
gems to harmonic with the color of
the evening gown. Shoes outlined
with jewels are an exquisite resource
for full dress wear.
