SlasI1ed Petticoat.

We have had the tango" gown; now has descended upen us the tan go" petticoat. This latest addition to the wardrobe of the fashionable Wo- man is made of but two pieces, with seams in the side, which, needless to say are open to point just above the knee. The front and back breadths of the petticoat are scalloped, sloping gradually up to the joining of the seams at the knee. The garment m this instance is edged with piaited ruffie of the silk of which the sklrt IS made, but lace of almost any kind would be nearly as effective. To regu- late the height of the skirt slashes on each side of the openings there have been sewn crocheted rings, through which facing of ribbon is passed.

Lonely New Workers.

There are 750O0O single men and women in New York. Of these 0,000 are men and the remaining 400, 900 women past their twenty-lfth birth day.
 The statistics have set ministers and social workers thinking and wonder. ing what they can do to bring those isolated members Of the human family together. The chief reason for their not being married is that they do not have the opportunity of meeting The women work in the daytime and most of them retire to hall bedrooms or at the best to thirdstory fronts at night. The men also work in the daytime and though the freedom of the city is theirs at night thousands Of them are lonely and would welcome a place to meet women of their own sort.
 Social centers, courting parlors, night schools and settlement clubs are among the means being used, but all too ineffectively according to the stag gering figures to bring the lonely men and women together.

JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

The coiffure is finished with an or namented band and single, curling spray of Paradise. The band in this costume is made of flat jade beads matching those worn with the cos tune about the neck. But there are innumerable bands, those of black gauge or velvet and rhinestones being among the most effective.
 The costume worn by the handsome brunette is of black velvet and silver embroidered net, with a skirt which appears to wrap about the figure, ter minating in high waist line. The rather scanty bodice is made of white chiffon. With a drapery of gossa- ner lace it would be much pTettier and more in keeping with American ideas of modesty which criticism is made without apologies to the great designer, who, with such wonderful fabrics to work with, yet missed the final finishing touch by placing glori- ous skirt with an Insignificant waist on so splendid model.
 The coifure suits the style of the wearer and her costume. 1t is one Of these that almost any one will find becoming, except women with very thin faces and necks. For them there are ether designs which soften or conceal their defects.

All Shades of Gray.

Gray in all possible shades is one or the colors of the season. Pearl gray is being most successfully combined with white velvet and ermine for real ly rich tea gowns; and deep shade of smoke gray is being very much useo for mantles in conjunction with banos of smoke gray fox. All shades Of rich blue are in demand in such materiais as velours de laine and liberty cash' mere. Costumes in these materials are trimmed with bands of sable or oi black fox, and the craze of the moraent seems to be for Chinese embroioerles of the finest description.

 Elegant and more showy shoes are
 shown with patent vamp and gray
 buckskin top, and others with patent | vamp and tops in shepherd check or l in cloth CT suede leather matching a l gown in color. These made -to-match | shoes are effective, but not essential to a proper shoe quitting for the av- craze woman.
 For evening dress there is variety in slippers to choose from. Black satin
 with French heel is great favorite. The range of ornamentation for the | toes of evening slippers is quite wide also
 In black or bronze there is the
 strapped slipper with bead embroid-
 cry. It is a graceful shoe and fine
 choice for those who need only one pair of slippers with which to look the
 seasons full dress occasions in the
 face. 1t is dressy enough for any
 wear.
 The price of good shoes has ad
 vanced because the materials of which they are made cost more than they have heretofore. There is no economy in buying cheap shoes. The expendi- ture at the end of year will be greater if one keeps the feet respecta- bly, clothed, if cheap shoes are bought than if the better grades are worn. If one must economiZe let it be in some Ofh in ho at of footwear. Quality cannot be sacri- feed here without of certainty in- volving both economy and comfort in the end.

~Matrimony?" Inquired Miss Farrell.

York, and I want him to marry her. If she suspected-why, she would have no more to do with him. Marion has pride, and my son, know, loves her. He is just foolish, stage-struck boy. Miss Farrell, won't you put an end to this nonsense?" She hesitated, and the other woman turned upon her fiercely.
 Now don't you offer me money" she cried, "or Tll-I'll marry him."
 Mrs. Van Leyden said nothing; her fearful gaze, however, was more ef- lective than words.
 Some people" said Miss Farrell. think that if woman is on the stage she doesn't amount to much. And that's where they guess wrong. Why, if my Joe even heard of Bobby's notes he'd wiring his neck"
 You are engaged then?" inquired the visitor, more gently.

 "But it must stop at once." cried Mrs. Van Leyden tearfully. What can you do? Robert is very deter mined and very reckless"
 Miss Farrell went to her secretaire and pulled open a drawer, from which she took a letter.
 Read that" she said, handing it to Mrs. Van Leyden.
 Mrs. Van Leyden read it with hor- rifed eyes.
 He wants you to dine with him at the Imperial tomorrow night" she gasped. "Why, the boy must be mad! A dozen people would recognize him and you. Miss Farrel, what are you going to do?"

WHO PAYS FOR CHLOROFORM?
This Question Frequently Arises When Dogs, Cats, and Other An
 imals Are Injured.

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary to chlo. roform an injured cat or dog, whose place is it to pay for the anaesthetic?
 That is a question which frequently arises. Dogs and cats, whose natural agility was not sufficient to keep them out of the way of automobiles and de- livery wagons, every day, are merciful. ly dispatched by humane citizens. Sometimes the policeman who is sum. moned carries the injured animal to a vacant lot and shoots it, but usually, out of consideration fer public safety, the chloroform route is chosen In that case the questions is: Who shall buy the chloroform
 ingenious bystanders expect the po- liceman to buy it, but he rarely lives up to their expectations.
 That animal ain't hurt bad" is what he usually says. Tt don't need no chloroform. I'll notify the S. P. c. A." The sympathetic crowd, however, think the animal ought to be put out of suffering at once. Sometimes par ticalarly affiuent person contributes the required amount to buy the drug. but more often it is obtained by taking up collection.

FARO f RO()l.'.'v' Y BY
FREE RANGE FOR CHICKENS
Neat Appearance, Will Keep hti Fowls Out of the Gardens.

The old method of free range need not necessarily be changed, The fowls should not however, be allowed to run at will within the garden or in and about the farm buildings Nothing is more aggraVating or dis gusting than to have the nice Veget- ables or beautiful flowers scratched barn, floor and the farm machines fouled with poultry droppings. Sep arate the poultry also from the other live stock of the farm.
 Ii the fowls are to be kept near tue farm buildings, provide ample ran&o inclosed by modern poultry wire fenc- ing. The latter requires ordinarily but few posts, is easily put up and has very neat appearance when in position.
 Another way of separating the fowls from the center of farm opera tions is to place the henhouses at a considerable distance from the farm stead, in a pasture where the fowls will have absolute range. The latter Dian lllJN tlltdlI some extra lldNcI Dy the poultryman and there is the risk in some localities of depredations by foxes, hawks or other wild animals or by thieves. The young, strong farmer boy may find advantage in the second or so-called "colony plan" while the housewife will probably prefer the fenced inclosure near the farmhouse.
 Thirdly, the farmer is too carel ss in the way he disposes of his pOuI>ry products. He is usually content to trade his eggs at the nearest grocery store when by a little extra effort he could gain a select private trade which would pay far better, His pure-bred stock of one breed of fowls in their well-kept house and capacious grassy yards will be great adver- tisement for his egg products, and uniform clean appearance of the eggs in their attractive package will prove an additional help in making sales.
 Then, too, in disposing of his fowls the farmer often sells the birds alive when by carefully dressing them on the farm and selling to his customers on orders le could secure far better prices.

FIXING MASTER BOB

"Why do you object to vaccina- tion?" asked the busy magistrate, sharply, of the applicant for an ex- emption certificate.
 ''It's a matter of conscience, sir" ," was the reply.
 At that moment the clerk whis- pered to the great man on the bench.
 "Ah!" said his worship. T am informed that you have brother in the police force. Now, does he ob- ject to having his children vaccinat- ed?"
 No, sir"
 "Very we'll; if vaccination is not against your brothers conscience, why should it be against yours?"
 Well, you see, sir, it doesn't ex- actly follow. Bill. as you're talking about, has got neither children nor conscience"
 He got his certificate.
