Flower -Routonnleres.

The dark-hued costumes of winter
must be enlivened by a touch of color,
and this is often accomplished by the
wearing Of a colored boutonniere.
Some very odd materials are used.
Metal bouquets are artistically tinted,
and medium-sized orchids made of
metal and ~delicately tinted are pretty
and frail, set off by dark green vel
vet leaves. Porcelain flowers are a
decided novelty, dyed or painted in
natures own colors. Small flowers
or fruits are seer in rich wintry tones
that harmonize with the costume.
Even oranges, lemons and grapes are
pressed into service. White velvet
gardenias r enhanced by gilt buds.
When combined with metal flowers
they acquire distinction. Flowers are
also made Of a cloth that resembles
patent leather and is called coll
cloth" Its softness makes It possible
to twist 1t into realistic blossoms.

SCIENTISTS TELL OF THE SEA
Some Facts Not Generally Known,
But Of Interest to the Man
Who Admlres Nature.

Not only is the sea the reservoir
into which all rivers run, but 1t is the
cistern that finally catches all the
rain that falls, not merely upon its
own surface. but upon the surface Of
the land and upon the roofs of our
houses. It has been calculated that
each year a layer of the entire sea
fourteen feet thick is taken up into
the clouds. This yapor is fresh, and,
IL all the water could be removed in
the same way, none Of 1t being re.
turned, there would, 1t is figured, be
left a layer Of pure salt 900 feet high
on the bed of the Atlantic. These fig

and Gregory in agitation asks Grace to
leave the room. Fran relates the story
Of how Gregory married a young girl at
Springfield while attending college and
then deserted her, Fran is the child of
that marriage. Gregory a married his
present wife three years before the death
OF Fran's mother. Fran takes a liking to
Mrs. Gregory, Gregory explains that

Mrs. Gregory insists on her making her

effort TO drive Fran from the Gregory
home. Abbott, while taking a walk alone

to freeze at the bottom before 1t does
at the surface.
At that depth waves are not felt.
The force Of waves is in proportion
to their height. 1t is said that the
sea strikes upon certain rocks with
the force of seventeen tons for each
square yard.
The pressure Of water increases
with the depth. One mile down this
pressure is reckoned at more than a
ton to the square inch--in other
words, more than 1873 times the pres
sure OF the atmosphere. The depth of
the sea presents some interesting
considerations. II, 1t Is claimed by

ings, and in trimmings for costumes
and millinery.
Sleeves in the new wraps are very
roomy-the kimono and bat-wing
styles prevailing. There is no trou-
BILE about crushing the bodice under
fur wraps, because of the light weight
of furs used in the body of the wraps,
and there are ample sleeves and arms
eyes.
The hat o with this pretty coat
Is of black velvet, n Of few hav-
ing a blocked crown. The trimming is
a generous, fan-shaped spray Of soft
white feathers. There is an attractive
and novel bag carried for the accom-
mediation Of the various belongings
which vanity fair must needs have near
at all times. The coin purse, handker-
chief, powder puff, etc., placed in
small compartments on the inside, do
not distort the shape of this plain and
elegant accessory. 1t is Of knitted
silk finished with silver rings and
silver flagree monogram, and is car
rled by a SILK cord.
Good furs, in garments or in trim
mings, amount to a good investment,
if well cared for. It is not likely that
the cost will grow less; all the
chances are that it will increase for
several years. But furs must be
cared for. The industrious moth will
succeed in finding them when one
thinks he is well shut out. Cold stor-
age is therefore good for furs, but
they may be protected by placing
them in paper bags with moth balls,
and in cedar chests. They should be
examined occasionally, hung in the
sun and beaten. The sunlight is death
to moths.

with jagged points as her steady arm
pointed: Go! Stand where / tell
you to stand. Oh, l have tanned lions
before today. You needn't look at me
so-l'm not afraid of your teeth"
Grace's fear was not inspired by
dread of exposure, but by the ~realiza-
ton that she had done what she could
not have forgiven in another. But for
the supreme moment she might never
have realized the real nature of her
feeling for her employer. She stood
appalled, and Inundated. yet her spirit
rose in hot revolt because it was Fran
who had found her in Gregory's arms.

The heavier furs will not answer
for wraps of this kind. Natural and

Instead of furs, handsome pushes are
used for garments which are to be

grades that will look well and outlast

close in appearance to the original
