New York Likes the Stick.

There is no city in this country, in
the opinion of a manufacturer of that
article, where the walking stick is so
popular as it is in New York. And"
he added, there is probably no place
where there is so little display in that
line and where the popular trend is
so decidedly toward the plain article.
The little towns take the fancy goods,
but, New Workers want plain crook
handle canes, with modest silver
mountings. The club handle and the
square handle, once among the most
popular. are dead ones The reason?
Why, our crowds and the subway.
The crook-handle cane can be carried
by a straphanger. who still has a
hand free to hold his paper. When
we have cars in which all passengers
may be seated the crook-handle cane
may be less popular. Exchange.

he stopped the inaugural ball
The inauguration of President
once in four years is one of the best
assets of the local hotel and business
men. Outside of the making of laws
and carrying on of governmental ac-
tivities about the only business there
is in the capital is the entertainment
of tourists. This business is the main
support of the hotels, theatres and
stores, and the Inauguration is the big
watermelon cut to which the whole
business community looks forward
and plans for
Congress makes no appropriation for
paying the expenses of the inaugura-
ton. Officially, all there is to the
Inauguration Is the ceremony at the
Capitol, where the new President
takes the oath of office in the Senate
chamber, and delivers his inaugural
speech from the steps of the Capitol.
Unoficially, this ceremony is the
least OF the days doings. The parade
is the big event of the day, but the
United States government has moth
ing to do with this, except as Incl
dentally it pays the expenses of some
of the federal troops that take part
in the pageant. The expense of what
ever State troops are sent are paid
by the individual States, and the civic
and political organizations pay their

voluntary organization, by courtesy

BAD START FOR 1913

Fine houses and good vessels burn,
Each week we have a fire.
We seem to bump at every turn
Against disasters dire.
The half of Europe fumes and stews,
Great rivers overflow.
And we're afraid to read the news
That comes from Mexico.
Each passing day we note with fear
A death list grim and long.
You want to take a brace, New Year,
For you are going wrong.

GIRL OF SEVEN CLIMBS Full
At One Time Women Were Forbidden

Mountain.

Tokio.-Mount Full, dead volcanic
mountain nearly fifteen thousand feet
high, famous around the world for it's
graceful contour, has been climbed
this summer by Japanese girl, seven
years old, who made the trip uraid-

youthfulness of the climber. this is a

three. August saw him complete his
ninety-fourth trip to the summit.
From time immemorial, Full, the
highest mountain in Japan, has been
considered sacred peak, and until
about forty years ago women were not
allowed to make the ascent. Even now
much religious sentiment is attached
to the mountain, and group after group
of pilgrims from all over the country
visit the little shrines on the snowclad
summit, murmuring in their ascent up
the long slopes "Rokkon Shojo," mean

only of seven or eight ends radiating
from a steel circlet. The metal edg,

MAMMOTH IS FOUND IN ICE
Finest Specimen of Its Kind That Was

Paris.--Count Stenboch Fermor of

history museum in Paris what is
considered to be the finest specimen
of mammoth yet found
The gift is especially interesting be-
cause the animal had not finished d.
costing his last meal at the moment
of his death, countless centuries ago.
Thus the saVants are for the first time
able to study accurately the nature of
the flora of the far distant epoch; they
have simply to examine the contents
of the mammoth's stomach. He was
found in an absolutely complete condl-
ton in a strata of ice The skin, which
is without scratch, is covered with
reddish hair, thick and soft to the
touch as that of lap dog The work
of digging out the monster from his
primeval cold storage and bringing
him to Paris was one of extreme diff
Guilty. The body was cut carefully in
to pieces, each one labeled, and then
carried 1900 miles to a railway line
on dog sledges.

the west coast OF Madagascar, by the

may be gained from the fact that

Forty-three years ago Adam Damn

then went with three companions to
Sacramento. where he married the
daughter OF a German "fcrty-miner,
who crossed the plains in a covered
wagon. Thereafter he remained qufe-

CTANDING ruches are quite the thing
~ just now and will be for some time
to come. Most of them are provided
with fine wire supports at the back
to hold them up, but fall as they will
at the sides and front. 1t is a fad to
leave the throat uncovered or yelled
lightly with net or lace provided in
these ruffs.
Nearly all of them are made to be
Numbered conveniently; if not in one
piece, then in such a way that the
washable portion may be easily taken
away from its support and put back
after its cleaning. These ruffs are
worn in coats or under them, under
furs, marabout and jackets. They pro
tect both the neck and the coat.
When designed to be worn under an
outer garment they are often finished
with a jabot. Two examples of this
design are shown in the picture. In
one of them tat the left the ruff is
sewed to band of insertion of shadow
lace and is wired at the back in two
places. A jabot of net edged with
shadow lace is plated on at the front
A pretty finishing touch is provided
by four tiny satin-covered buttons on
the jabot. The piece is fastened at
the front with brooch or bar pin.
In the second ruff the lace plating
(which is sewed into a very narrow
bard of fine muslin) is basted to a
supporting collar of black satin. 1t is
finished with little buttons of white
satin.
The standing ruff is not to be con-
sidered by the woman whose neck and
face are thin or scrawny Fine net
in high collars and chemisettes will do
wonders for her, but the standing ruff
will detract rather than add something
toward her good looks.
A pretty crocheted neckpiece is in
tended for slender neck. 1t is made
of two shaped bands boned or wired at
the lack and sewed to a piece of vel
vet ribbon at the front Baby velvet
ribbon, matching the wider ribbon
used forms two little crossbars at the
front. They are finished with small
buttons of crochet A little rose, two
caves and pendant fuchsia blossom.
