Hudson. Mrs. Stevens is one of the most

She has her ball gowns slit way up one side
and where the slit ends she wears a bouquet
Of flowers. And so this peculiar fad is af-
fecting practically everything that a woman
wears and it Is difficult to know where it
will stop.
So the dear creatures are cultivating Iop-
sided features to correspond with the lop-
Tdedness of their wearing apparel The eve

II the strange diagrammatic map
here shown may be the clue
to the hiding place of millions
Of dollars worth OF treasure.
One of the most deplorable cpl
sodes Of the recent invasion Of
Persia by Russia during the
snuster regime was the sacking
by the Russians of the ancient
shrine Of Imam Ria.
This shrine, over a thousand
years old, was known 10 contain

stones, silver and gold ornaments
and other valuables, donated by de-
voted Mohammeuans from Tune TO
time. Among the treasures was
al extremely large sapphire worth
no less than million dollars.
4ue berceness with which the
Cossack regiment descended upon
the shrine can be explained,
although, of course, not Jusu1ed,
by the knowledge of the existence
Of this treasure, for in the carnage
which ensued defenceless wor-
shippers who made no attempt at
resistance were butchered In cold
blood.
Fortunately for the Persians.
they had been warned Of rne
threatened assault, and long be-
fore the Cossacks arrived, the Prin-
clpal part of the treasure had been
safely removed from the shrine and
secretly inferred by the dignita-
RES of the Mohammedan Church.
AS a result. despite the utmost
cruelties practised BY the Cossacks

Meshed is a city OF about $4,000
inhabitants, but is visited annually
by about 100000 pilgrims. The
shrine in question was built in
memory Of Ali ar Ria, son OF the
Imam Musa. Ria was born in
770 A. D., and at the age of thirty
succeeded to the office of Imam, or
leader of the Shi-ltes.

ing of the last silly season. Last Summer at
Newport there were some OF the oldest effects
uroduced by the strange fad. For instance.
one morning, when the Casino lawns were
crowded with tennis enthusiasts from all parts
Of the country, Miss Eleanor Sears came in
with Harold Vanderbilt. There was nothing
unusual in this of course, but everyone who
Jaw her gave a gasp and said:
'rWhat Is the matter with Eleo's feet?"
There was nothing the matter with the feet
Int there was something strange about the
sinners. on her left foot Miss Sears was
wearing bright red slipper and on her right
foot she was wearing black one.
Everybody is doing it now" said Miss
Scars when Cynthia Roche Burden asked her
why she had made such mistake, and Miss
sears was right Everybody did seem to be
eating one-sided in one way or another. The
next day Mrs Alexander Bache Pratt, one of
tho nrettiest and one of the wealthiest brides
&C a wear ago, appeared wearing a red silk

She wore red slipper!
II was Young Mrs Sidney Colford-formerly
Clare knight, of Philadelphia-who was the
4rst matron to wear the one-sided gown. One
day Mrs. Colford appeared at Baileys B1ach
wearin, a marvellous creation of black and
white The left side of her costume was OF
oyster white satin made absolutely plain
from, shoulder to hem. The other side was OF
bla. satin draped in a most graceful manner
at the side The contrast between the plain
ness of the one side and the pannier OF the
other was most marked.
A similar surprise was sprung upon New
port several years ago, when Mrs. Reggie
Vanderbilt's mother, Mrs. Belle Nelson, wore
one very large pearl earring and one very
large toruuoise earring. At that time all the
Newport women thought that Mrs. Nelson
had made a mistake, but she very soon told
them that it was the very latest Paris fad,
and the next day all her friends were wearing
mismated jewels
Last Summer Mrs. Craig BiddIe revived this
fad and wore one beautiful black pearl ear
ring and one very large emerald earring
At the recent Horse Show the new Mrs
Alfred Vanderbilt wore a curious necklace;
one side was of pearls and the other of rubies

A great many car owners make
practice of adjusting valves while the
motor is hot This is an error. 1t is
proper to note any abnormal condition
like this, but wait until the engine is
cold If this suggestion is not Needed.
particularly with motors of overhead
valve design. the adjustment will be in
accurate, valves will not seat properly,
resulting in weak compression. An ad-
justment too tight on the intake valve or
too loose on the exhaust valve permits
the fuel to escape. thus reducing the
compression and diminishing the power.
An adjustment too loose on intake valve
also reduces the compression by shorten
ing the length of the compression stroke.
The exhaust valve under loose adjust
ment opens late. This retards the engine
action, as the exploded gases do not
have prompt exit, and a portion of the
power intended for compression stroke is
wasted in recompressing dead fuel.
In polishing the silvered reiectors of
lamps. or the nickeled trimmings that
are becoming popular on motor cars, IT
is well to bear in mind that every rub
means the wearing off of little OF the
plating, and that in time it will wear
through. great deal depends upon the
kind of polishing material used; harsh,
gritty polish will wear down the plating
quite fast, while a good polish will insure
maximum life Of the finish
1t not infrequently happens that when
an empty radiator is filled up and the
car run a short distance the water level
will be found to have fallen considerably,
though no overheating has occurred and
no leak exists. The reason is that the
water requires some little time to per-
colate through the various restricted
passages in the cooling system. and
little shaking down results in falling
of the level.
