AS TO PHYSICAL ENERGY
Amount of It Expended in Ordinary
Ways Figures Up to Sur
prising Amount.

Perhaps you do not know it. but
when you walk distance of ten miles
YOU extend enough force, could 1t be
all collected, to- raise 800 tons one foot
from the ground. Of this enormous
quantity of energy, the legs are re-
sponsible for $50 tons. the heart for
100, the lungs for %, and the bulk OF
the remainder is wasted in the heat
given off from the body.
In severe athletic competitions
such as running. rowing, and boxing,
YOU must be in such condition as to
be able to exert, by your limbs alone,
each minute, as much force as would
lift 5000 pounds enc foot above the
ground.
When powerful man works for "a
hours with all his might, the energy
he expends is equal to lifting a third
class cruiser, and during his life he
dissipates enough power to carry MS
body at death to the sun.
These statements may at first sight

girdle. Certain it is that, in the man.
agement of the waist line, our present
modes are the most artistic, the most
easy and graceful of any that lie With
in the memory of the women of our
country.
The study of a gown of as great ar
tistic value as this one should involve
that of the dressing of the feet and
the arrangement of the coiffure, be-
cause both these matters should enter
into the consideration of dressy cos
tune at any time. Satin slippers in
black with rhinestone buckles, and
silk hosiery of the color of the gown
take care of the clothing of the feet
appropriately.
The coiffure is one of those designs
classified as the "casque" style, in
which all the hair is waved. 1t is ar
ranged over the head like turban.
There is no chignon at the back. The
ends of the hair are turned under tho
waves and spread about in such way
as to dispense with coil.
In cutting a gown of this character
wide goods are more easily managed
than narrow. Skirts, overlapping at
the front, while narrow, give room for
easy walking because the front seam
is not Joined down to the bottom. The
under petticoat must be soft; the most
clinging of fabrics, as chiffon or crepe
de chine, or lace. An inserted fiounce
will take the place of a petticoat.
Anything heavy enough to interfere
with the falling of the skirt in close
and clinging lines would destroy an
important item in the beauty of the
design. 1t is the hang and not fit of
garments which is of paramount i'm
portance now The figure, without dis
tortion of any sort, without restraint,
but in the lovely, natural silhouette,
is glorified in present day STYLES,
which really amount to cleverly ar.
ranged drapery. Garments must not
shape the figure today; they must be
shaped by it, or appear to be, anyway.
Hence SO many gowns seem to be de.
signed for the corsetless figure.

so fierce. They feared they might
take revenge on them for the conduc-
tors error. A young fellow who had
crossed on the same boat ard ven
tured out into the street. Immediate
ly we were surrounded by cab drivers,
but they merely desired to take US
down into the city.
Those Ever Cracking Whips.
We, decided to walk, and half way
down to one of the principal streets OF
Naples we were followed by line of
cabs, each driver cracking his whip
and imploring us to ride with him.
When two policemen appeared in the
street about block ahead of us our
voluntary escort melted away. We
came to a square where number of
cabs were lined up. When the driv-
ers saw us coming they began crack
ing those ever-present whips, then
leaped from their seats and tried to
bow us into their vehicles. We walked
on by to the accompaniment of crack
ing whips and shouting pleading men.

street. The woman calmly picked 1t
up and went into the hotel, leaving
the surprised cabman shouting loudly.
Uproar Is Terrific. 4I @
Some time later the concierge of the.
hotel came to her room and said that
cabman was making a terrific up
roar in the street below because she
had not paid him, She explained the
circumstances. The concierge then
took the amount of the fare and
fee of three cents, and after much
yelling the cabman drove away. He
lost that time by his attempted coup,
but he probably made it up doubly on
someone else.

men their fare and given them the

it was not enough. The conductor ig-

with glowering, gesticulating, bowling
cab drivers. They shook their fists
and swore they had been cheated 1t

managed to shoe them all out by
storming and roaring at them excit-

But for two hours that gang of rob

the hubub on general principles. and
now he stalked up and down the
street as excitedly as any of them.

sewed down After the petals say
ten or eleven in all-have been made,
they are fastened about the center OF
the rose already formed, tied to the
stem with thread or tie-wire. Finally
the corners are curled back on some
of the petals and blind-stitched down.
Shape the petals, cupping them with
the fingers. Wind the stem with mar

this sort are expensive bits of luxury
when bought ready made-from about
two to five dollars each. The value is
placed upon the time consumed in
making them, and the workmanship,
far more than in the material used
For less dress-up times, the little
rosegay of rosebuds made of several
different colors of narrow satin ribbon,
is still a great favorite. These small
roses are made of a length of satin
ribbon (folded lengthwise along the
center) or of separate petals made OF
narrow ribbon. They are mounted on
little stems of small green covered
wire. Sprays of fine millinery foliage
of maidenhair fern usually are used
with them by way of variety. Narrow
velvet ribbon in green or purple winds
the stems together, and finish the
nosegay with little bow. These
small nosegays are scented, and form
the daintiest of accessories worn on
the coat or furs for the street. Small
bits of ribbon or silk will make them.
They are always appreciated, bound
to please those who possess sense
of the value of such finishing touches
to the toilet. 1t would be difficult to
think up a better Christmas gift for
ones friends. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

AFTERNOON GOWN
A TRIUMPH OF
FRENCH DESIGN

III ERE is an unusual and attractive
IL gown from the salon of a notable
French designer. 1t has the grace of
simplicity and it embodies several Of
the best style features of the present
season. Among these there are the
loose and comfortable management of
the sleeve, the tunic, The girdle, the
easy adjustment of the bodice and a
skirt little shorter at the front than
at the back and hanging in about the
feet.
There is little under bodice of en-
broidered chiffon with elbow sleeves,
finished with a wired ruching of mall
inc. A band of beaded embroidery
adorns the material of the bodice,
which is draped in the fashion of the
Chinese collar.

~ HE strangest collection of rob-
bers in all Italy are the Nea-
politan cab drivers. Their
business Is to get out of tour
lists all they can, and they
work at their job harder than anyone
in Italy. One cannot take a ride in
one of their carriages without getting
into a brawl as to the amount due
him; no matter what tip you give, he
always objects. 1t seems to be one of
the unwritten laws of Neapolitan cab
DOM This is rather disconcerting at
1rst, as you don't like to be seen
squabbling in a public thoroughfare
with hack driver, but as you become
accustomed to it you learn to ignore
the demands of these robbers, and
leave them to shrek at the atmos-
phere.
Before you get into cab the driver
is all smiles and courtesy. AS you
walk along the streets OF Naples
cabman will drive up beside you,
crack his whip in businesslike man
ner and smile at you Hospitality. Then
he delivers long and spirited
harangue on the advantages to you of
riding in his most excellent carriage.
and points invitingly to the seat be-
hind him. If you do not seem inclined
to ride with him he becomes more in
sistent, and if you start to cross a
street he will drive in front of you
so that you cannot take step with
out stepping into his vehicle.
Follows You Along the Street.
This is not done so much in the day
time, as the government seems to
have curbed their enthusiasm to some
extent, but at night it is altogether
different. Then the cabman cracks
his long whip so loudly behind you
that you think the Black Hand Is
settling one of it's feuds, and look
around anxiously for place of ref
uge; he follows you for blocks, trying
to wheedle you into climbing into his
facre; he pleads, threatens, cajoles;
and if you finally let him lure you into

"A man who hoped and did not moro,
With long and tangled hair.
Sat in his little cabin door ,zrsi
And lightly laughed at care.
Day after day he clung to hope.
The winds blew fair and Ill;
He used no water and no soap,
His hair grew longer still.
His cabin sagged around one END,
His shoes fell from his feet,
He sat alone, without a friend,
But still found hoping sweet.
At last the wall fell in, one day
And crushed him where he sat;
Another, passing. heard him say:
I'D not expected that"
MORAL.
The man who hopes may be serene.
With ne'er fear or f1utter;
Hope is staff on which to lean.
But It's not bread and butter.

To Ereshen Velvet Hats.

During the velvet hat season, which
is now with us, those having stained,
spotted and shabby looking velved
hats can freshen them up nicely by
heating an iron, then placing a wet
cloth over it, and holding the iron up
side down in the inside Of the hat.
When the entire surface is moist,
hang the hat without touching it.
When dry brush well, and it will look
bright and new.
1t may also be held over the steam
ing spout Of a boiling kettle until
moist. If the fingers come into touch
with the wet nap, it will press it down
and dry in that condition.
