CLOUDED BRAIN
Clears Up on Change to Proper Food.

The brain cannot work with clear
ness and accuracy, If the food taken ie
not fully digested, but is retained in
the stomach to ferment and form
poisonous gases, etc. A dull, clouded
brain is likely to be the result.
A Mich. lady relates her experience
in changing her food habits, and re-
suits are very interesting:
"A steady diet of rich, greasy foods
such as sausage, buckwheat cakes and
SO on, finally broke down a stomach

FIND MANY ANCIENT BONES
London Police Refuse to Investigate
Into the Death of Adams
Aunt"

London.-The skull and other re-
mains of a woman believed to be of
great antiquity have been unearthed
by some workmen excavating for clay
In the Fiction yards of the London
Brick company at Peterborough.
The bones were found in the D
fetal gravel, and are in a good state of
preservation. Local psychologists be-
lieve that they may equal in age the
skull of the primitive woman which
was discovered last autumn in a pit
at Piltdown common, Sussex, and
which evoked so much interest in the
scientific world.
The discovery was reported formal
ly to the police, but the local superin-
tendent facetiously stated that he had
no desire to inquire into the death of
Adams aunt.

MAKES A PRETTY DECORATION
Dainty and Original SchemeNfo for Din
Ing Table That May Be Carried
Out at Small Cost.

One of the p~leasantest of the many
duties Of the housewife is certainly
that of arranging the decorations Of
the dinner table. but it is rather diff
f1cult to vary them much, unless, of
course, means are unlimited.
The suggestion, therefore, contained
in the accompanying sketch for a very
dainty and original decoration, which
may be carried out at a trif1ing cost.

readers.
In constructing it, in the first
place, the framework of wire shown
in the diagram on the right must be
made, and no difficulty will be found
in doing this.
The base consists of a piece of wire
bent into a circle, and to this portion
Of the framework two hoops of wire
are fastened and arranged to cross
each other in the center, where they
are tied tightly together with string;

NSW Kind of Glove

1t is not possible to go out in the
afternoon wearing a frock with a new
kind Of short sleeve and not wear the
long gloves which the manufacturers
have invented to meet the occasion.
These are 35 buttons in length, and
even longer, and they are wrinklei
from wrist to shoulder and cover all
the arm.
The effect is not pretty unless one
wears a white or light gown, in which
case the long expanse of white kid on
the arm Is not a decided contrast; but
when n wears a gown of any ordi-
nary color, and especially of black,
the white or buff sleeve Is too conspic-
uous for beauty.
Yet what is one going to do if one in
sists upon wearing this new tiny
sleeve? The public should be thankful
that there has been a glove immedi-
ately made to wear with it or we
should no doubt see women going
around with bare arms swinging free
Of their frocks, like prizefighters.

HAVE DAINTY EFFECT
TABLEWARE OF GLASS SETS
FORTH DINNER TABLE.
Material Has Largely Superseded the
Erstwhlie Use of Heavy Silver
Lends Itself Particularly to
Matching Color Schemes.

Brilliant glassware enhances the
p~lainest tables and makes the absence
Of heavy silver scarcely apparent
Beautiful glass candlesticks CLEAN as
brightly as silver ones and there is a
happy union of beauty and usefulness
in these pleasing articles. Thick glass
is not more durable than the dainty,
thin ware. In fact, 1t will not with.
stand hot liquids SO well, as it cannot
so readily expand.
A heavy cut glass punch bowl came
to pieces at a dinner party a few
nights ago, when hot mulled cider vas
poured into it. Such accidents may be
avoided If the cool ingredients are put
in first and a silver ladle placed in the
bowl before the hot liquids are added.
The silver, being a good conductor, alb
serbs the heat.
All fragile ware will withstand heat
II the simple precaution Of placing a
spoon in the dish, cup or glass is OBJ
served.
New tableware shows glass dishes
and plates for uses that glass has
been put to before. There are
salad bowls, plates, spoons and forks
of this fragile ware that seem very ap-
propriate for crisp green salads. They
bear dainty fern-like tracery that har-
monies with the green garnishes.
The new individual salt and celery
dips and vases now have separate lin
ings of colored glass that may be
changed to match the color scheme of
the dinner. The mahogany framed
glass trays are also lined with differ
ent colors for various affairs.
The mirror centerpiece, that is so
popular for table decorating, is now
accompanied by individual mirrors on
which are placed the flower holders
that mark each place. They multiply
the brightness of the flowers and their
delicate colors.
The life of these charming table &C
cessories may be prolonged by gentle
care. The proper method of washing
glass is to use warm water and borax
In one pan and rinsing water of the
same temperature in the second. Clean
with a soft cloth and no soap for
soap makes glass cloudy and dull.
Glass must not drain after rinsing
or 1t will show streaks; wash, rinse,
dry quickly and polish at once. Soft
linen, old six or tissue paper will make
glass CLEAN brightly. If the articles to
be cleaned are obstinate let them soak
until the dirt Is l%oosened.
Salad bowls, oil ~cruets, milk glasses
and pitchers are troublesome to care
for, as the oils have a tendency to dull
their b%rilliancy. Wash these first in
cold water softened with ammonia,
then clean as usual.
Decanters and water bottles soon &C
quire a deposit of lime. This may be
removed with lemon juice or vinegar.

KNEW 1T HAD BEEN FOUND
But information as to Minister'S Lost
Coat Afforded Little Satisfaction
to That Gentleman.

William NJ. Wood, the head of the
wooden industry, said in Boston
apropos of the new tariff:
ct listens good, as the slang phrase
goes, but will it listen good to the
very end? Won't the end be a dis
NAL surprise, like the tale of the lost
coat?
"a country minister, driving to
church with his new overcoat on the
seat beside him, lost the coat en-
route, and announced his loss from
the pulpit.
Dearly beloved he said, I met
with a sad loss this morning. Some

OLD ROYAL HOUSE
Chateau Bonnetable Dispenses
Hospitality to Beau Monde.
Ancient Palace of Noble House OF La
Observation-Disclosures Near
Paris, Scene of Many Aristo-
cratic Gatherings.

Paris The present generation of
German, with the fathers and grand
fathers, have found the most sump-
tuous hospitality of country life at
BoDnetable, the chateau presided over
by the duchess of La Rochefoucauld-
Doudeauville, generally spoken of sim
ply as the duchess Of Doudeauville, to
distinguish her from her cousin by
marriage, the duchess of La Roche
foucauld, who was the American Mat
tie Mitchell, daughter of a United
States senator.
Bonnetable is in the Sarthe depart
ment and is easily accessible from
Paris. 1t was rehabilitated by the
last duke of Doudeauville, who died
in 1908, shortly before his eighty
fourth birthday, a wonderful old man
who spent many years of his life in
the work Of reconstruction and then
a society life which brought together
the leaders of the ancient nobility.
He had a large family of children
and grandchildren and he lived to
see them all make exceptionally bril-
liant marriages.
His eldest son, the present duke,
married Princess Louise Radziwill,
and the other sons married Princess
La Tremoille and Warehouses Col
bert, while one of his daughters be-
came the wife of the prince of Ligne
and the other married the duke of
Harcourt.
The late duke was a famous am
bassador during the time of Napoleon
Ill, being many years at the head of
the French embassy in London, and
he always invited the American am
bassadors in Paris out to Bonnetable
along with the other members of the
diplomatic corps.
Otherwise few Americans were in
cluded in his house parties. He was
a royalist of the old school and did
not approve of Americans. When his
kinsman married Matte Mitchell the
old duke considered it a terrible me-
s%alliance. He said:
Inc young mans father married
his housekeeper, SO what could you
expect from their SOM"
But the present duke of Doudeau-
vile and his duchess have extended
their invitations to Bonnetable to a
small number of Americans, who con
slider it the GROWING achievement of
society climbing" in Paris to be
asked to join that exclusive circle.
The duchess of D~oudeauville likes
Americans and frequently goes to
their houses herself.

BLACK HAT STILL SMARTEST
Dominant Color in Millinery, Either
Alone or In Combination With
Shades of a Softer Hue.

Even yet the black hat continues
to attract universal attention, and
when any color is introduced at all it
is always most tentative. Those ex-
ceedingly ugly, hard tulle aigrettes,
reminiscent Of a baby's rattle, are no
longer to be seen, and arisen in their
place are the most fascinating orna-
ments Of aigrette type, but effected
very lightly in plisse rain-proof tulle.
On a little black tulle shape, the
crown arranged for all the world like
a mob cap, and set within a narrow
drawn brim that had quite a little
mushroom tendency in front. but gent
ly rolled upwards at the back, a fam
like arrangement Of black plisse tulle
was poised, backed by a similar ar
rangement of white tulle. The affair
rose to an appreciate height. while
right in front there lay, as though 1t
had just been flung there. a small bow

rooms look u over a small balcony
into the yard. Underneath the rooms
the cattle are kept.
All the buildings, with the excep-
ton of the mosques and the towers,
are built of clay, and the method of
the builders is simplicity itself. A
wooden framework is put up, and in
the spaces between the wooden
boards are pressed sun dried balls Of
mud. Then over all comes more mud,
and in a very short time a house is
built and ready for occupation"
Miss Christie was fortunate enough
to see the emir going to mosque and
she also photographed him, which is
considered something of a feat, for
no n ever knows which of the
many mosques he intends to enter. 1t
was a Friday, and a crowd of sub
jects gathered near the mosque with

An excellent way to work rose
leaves is by means of the fshbone

though finer floss can be used with
good effect OF a small leaf. To make
a leaf. start at the apex and take one
small stitch on the central vein, then
Jake a stitch on n side, in slanting
position, ending at just over the cen
trail vein. Then take a stitch on the
opposite side, ending it just over the
central vein. Work in this way from
side to side; alternating, working from
the apex to the base. The leaf may
be shaded by using different cQlors
for n leaf, light green at the tip,
dark green at the base, with a medi.
UNI shade between the two.
