When Trintepohl was told that, ae-
cording to the captains wireless
message, six boats had been launched
and got away, he said: 'It is not so,
L was there all the time and saw
everything. No boat got away"
Mr.. Spurgeon, in his own accounr,
tells of the attempts to- get lifeboats
alongside the Volturno.
Nothing" he said, "was seen of
the two boats launched with about
twenty passengers each after they
left the Volturno's side. Four others
were smashed against the ships side
and the occupants either killed or
drowned.
A DESPAIRING MESSAGE.
"At 9 o'clock Thursday night the
captain of the Volturno sent a des-
pairing message, which read: For
Gods sake help us or we perish
BY miracle the flames did not
spread to the afterdeck. Eventually
the seas moderated and boats saved
five hundred and seventy-one per
sons. The death roll numbers one
hundred and thirty-six."
The wireless operator aboard the
Carmania sent the first message,

Carmania, the latter steamer having
been credited with eleven survivors,
whereas she is bringing only one.
Among the frst-class passengers
on the Volturno there were only two
Americans, John Krug and Frieda

The public should be interested in the
history Of the present styles for a better
understanding Of what they will see when
they come here tomorrow. FOR that reason
these few hints:
The present styles are taken from the
period of Louis XIV and XVI of France,
particularly following the modes Of the
beautiful Marie Antoinette and the COur-
tiers of her WOefuI reign Taking the
records left by such painters as Natter
and Vatican and their faithful copies Of
what they saw at the Court Of Louis XVI
and Marie Antoniette, the beautiful color
ings, wonderful array Of jewelry, millinery
and flowers, which they have recorded and
which history otherwise would only be in
doubt about, are shown in their pictures
and in our modes today
of all ages this was the most extrava-
giant as regards millinery, flowers gowns,
entertainment and customs We are copy
ing the age Of powdered hair and patches,
of shepherdess draperies, of Vatican
pIeats of the thin and transparent gowns
of that day; the shoulderless waists; the
picturesque girdles. Not satisfied with
copying the fashions OF the reigning
power. the fashion artists have seen fit to
portray in their styles the opposing Jacob
ines and the sash of Murat.

New Housekeeping Helen L pulse
johnson says: ~ ..

recorded financial failures, how 6ften
or how infrequently could II be laid

/ do not believe 1t would be just Sto
say. that one in every, twenty could be
laid directly, or Indirectly to the fault
of the woman. And when she is to
blame, nine times out of every ten it
is because she does not know. She
does not know either the actual eondi-
ton of affairs, nor does not know how
to do her share in the business of
horne-making. -. =. -
Sentiment Is the fundamental basis
If the home, but sentiment, or its fool
ish cousin sentimentality, should not

justice, pity, friendliness, sympathy,

in any kind of business; but shop,

No one can properly expend even the
smallest sums without having them to
expend in order to see their relation
TO needs and wants, and to- other en-
penditures. Nothing is more fatal to
real economy than to have money Civ

upbringing of children as we'll as the
administration of the affairs of the
home, city or state. The value of pen

may only be learned through the using
of them, SO one may learn their pur-
chasing ability. This means not alone
knowing the price, but the cost of
things, as we'll as the needs of life,

The method of applying the budget

to be very easy.

PLATINUM IS MUCH FAVORED
AMONG WEARERs OF JEWELRY.

Platinum holds undisputed sway in
the world of jewelry, according to a
Chicago Inter Ocean writer. There are
many reasons for this, Its lightuess,
Its adaltability designs Of exquisite
Jlelieacy, and the fact that it is a bet
ter background for precious Itones
than either gold or silver have all con-
tlibuted to- its extraordinary populari-
u. Jewels nowadays do not weigh a
quarter of what they used to do, but
they cost a great deal more. =: F.
There is no doubt that fashionable
women spend much more in jewelry
than they used to do, and they are a!
ways having their ieweIry reset IN
newer designs. There is a great de-
mand for old pewelry up to 1920. After
that period jewelry became heavy, and
iEartistic, very different from the
styles in fashion now. Pearls, emer-
aids and sapphires are the most popu-
lar stones at present. There os a de-
nand for pendants-balloon and bas-
ket shapes, designs in diamond and
pearl set in platinum are exceedingly
popular. Button earrings are not much
worn, but pearl drop earrings are con-
tinually asked for. Rings with single
stones are fashionable, and single dia-
Inonds with colored stones aroun |

ent for watch necklaces in enamel, in

HOW TO KILL PoUL TRY

Sc great is the demand made by
people of every class Of life for In
formation about the rearing and kill
ing OF poultry that the department Of
agriculture frequently sends out more
than the one and one-half millions of
copies of a single pamphlet relating to
the poultry business. Here are direc-
lions for killing poultr.::
'Tbc knives m common use In
bleeding and Draining poultry are not
suited to their purpose. The blades
are too broad and TOO long and the
curve at the point should be on the
back instead Of on the cutting edge.
The handle is SO large that the killer
is encouraged to use too much force In
making the cut to bleed, whereas a
light touch of the sharp knife, proper
" directed, Is all that is needed to
cut the blood vessels. The knives are
also insanitary, In that dirt collects
at the junction of the, blade and
handle. The knife which Is to be used
to bleed and brain poultry should be
small, with a narrow blade; still, SO
that it does not bend; of the best
steel, so that it can be kept sharp and
Is not nicked when used in Draining;
and the handle and blade. should be in
one piece. Such q knife, with the aid
of the packing house emery wheel or
grindstone and oil stone, can be made
from an S-inch fiat file. "-Woman's

80 LEATHER SHOES

Here is a. tip one shoemaker gave
for the care of patent leather shoes:
rIf men and women before wearing
their shoes would rub them all over
with a little leaf lard or yaseline, put
ON a soft channels or piece of flannel
and rub to a high polish, we shoemak-
ers would have to endure less reviling
because OF shoes going bad on the first
wearing. ~ -
Care must be taken not to use
too much of the grease. and above all
not to let it stand on the leather I'M
absorbed, or dust will accumulate in
IL. which will be worse than the
cracks,
Another thing sabout patent leath-
ers is that they must always be kept
in a warm, dry place. Many women
do not know this, and often let their
shoes stand around in the room on
cold or rainy nights. Dampness will
ruin any patent leather and one
should always guard against it.
always avoid wearing these leath-
ers for the first time on cold days, as
cracking is inevitable. Chicago
