NEW AND POPULAR FABRICS
That They Lend Themselves to the
Graceful Draperies Demanded Is
Their Recommendation.

The touch of the Oriental that is
noticed in the spring styles requires
that a fabric be used which lends it.
self readily to graceful drapery. One
particularly adaptable material is
etamine, which is more popular this
spring than it has been for several
seasons. The robes of handdrawn
etamine are truly beautiful. The
drawn-work appears in bands of grad
uated widths, forming very hand
some border for the robe. A narrow
band of drawn-work is done along the
opposite edge of the material to be
used for the smaller trimmings. These
etamines come in all the vivid shades
that are to be so much used.
Among the silks, fluer de sole, a
new form of taffeta with an extremely
soft finish, falls in the most graceful
lines. 1t comes in very new and un
usual tones, in bott plain and figured
surfaces The floral designs that ap-
pear on many of these new silks seem
somewhat stiff at first sight, but one
soon realizes how very we'll suited
they are to the period costumes so
affected by our best gowned women.
Some of the new patterns now in
vogue are exact copies of some of
those used in France at the time of
the empire.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

HOW TO HAVE ROSY CHEEKS
Many Things Better Than Ice, Though
That Will Temporarily Give the
Glow Desired.

The use of ice as cosmetic is ad-
vocated by many. It's results in many
cases are not lasting.
There may be some virtue in ice
when a woman wants to make her
cheeks rosy for short while She can
prepare soft pads, lay them on ice un-s
til they are very cold, then on the
cheeks; they draw the blood to the
surface and give a rosy tint. Cold
water is better, however, when 1t
comes to the question of making f1abby
muscles tighten to a normal condition,
and the toilet vinegar is better still;
such muscles need something that will
tone them permanently, not just for
the moment. To apply ice to the skin
that has been exposed to the wind is
all wrong; cold cream, left on half an
hour first; then warm water and
good soap; then very cold water to
finish with and cold cream rubbed in,
with a spray of toilet vinegar last, is
the method that answers best for
f1accid muscles.-Philadelp Tele-

BUTTONS OF EVERY VARIETY
All Shapes and Almost All coIors
May Be Employed to Suit the
Individual Taste.

Apparently buttons are to be en-
ployed in unstinted quantities.
Blouses, dresses, jabots, coats and
skirts are trimmed with them in ev.
cry conceivable style.
The small buttons in curious shapes
and very bright colors will be the
most popular.
Ball and semi-ball shapes are still
popular, but what is called the floral
crystal button is the newest. A clear
cup-shaped crystal button, with white
porcelain center, decorated with tiny
floral patterns, is novelty. Pear
shaped colored crystals and round
crystals, small shaped, with rose
design in center. are also new styles.
Bulgarian effects still continue among
the fads of the hour, These are to
be seen in crystal and in crochet
Another result of the Bulgarian craze
Is the revival Of fiat metal buttons
decorated in conventional Bulgarian
designs. These were very popular
some years ago.

Fireman's Uniaue Weddinq.

A fireman's wedding in burnt-out
church is certainly something of nov

place in the chancel of st. Georges,
Leicester. the greater part of the
building having been destroyed by fire
last year. 1t was the first firemans
wedding in Leicester. and the bride

honor and arranged an arch of axes,

If you do not know how to write or read
And figures are meaningless to you,
Your case is pitiful one, indeed,
But don't give up as the foolish do;
There may be rewards that you still can
earn,
You, too, on the splendid heights may
dwell,
For surely no man is too dull to learn
How to do some one thing well.
If you cannot paint and you cannot sing,
And you guide no fleets DER stormy
seas,
Perhaps, if you try, you can learn to
With surprising skill on the gay trapeze.
For it's every man to his trade, you
know;
Let the minstrel sing and the warrior
fight,
And surely no man is too weak to show
How to dofsome one thing right.
Though you cannot toot on the clarinet,
And the trombone fills you with wild
alarm,
You may have the gift that one needs to
get
A living out of the peaceful farm;
Only the weak man suffers doubt
To bear him down or to haunt his
breast,
And only the fool will not find out
How to do some one thing best.
If the eggs are stale that the heartless
throw
When you speak your lines in the part
you play,
Do not be crushed by the cruel blow,
But strive to win in some other way;
There are picks to swing, there are cranks
to turn,
There are nails to drive and there's corn
to shell,
You, too, may possess the wit to learn
How to do some one thing well.

A new train seen lately consisted OF
two trains each quite separate, and
ending in points. A very lovely even
ing dress of deep orange charmeuse
had this new double tail. One was of
the orange charmeuse, and was just
continuation of the dress itself. The
second train was of lemoncolored
mousse1ine-de-soie. and started from
drapery at the waist. which came
down one side and round the back of
the frock, falling into a train the ex-
act size and shape of the satin one.
When well down this has a very pret-
ty as we'll as very novel effect.

Aids the Complexion.

The complexion seems to be the
only thing which benefits from damp
weather One of the reasons for the
fresh and colorfuI skins of English
girls is said to be the fogs and mists
that sweep over Britain from the sea.
Moisture holds the dust prisoner
and dust is the worst enemy to good
complexions. Besides that, moisture,
while it does not prevent wrinkles.
does not produce them; and excessive
2y dry climates are always productive
Of excessively wrinkled skins.

GAVE OF SURPLUS WEALTH
Rich Men In Other Days Lavish In
Their Donations to Their Fa-
vorite Cities.

Many man who has inherited mil
Eons," once said Frederic Harrison
'is gnawed with envy as he watches
a practical man turning an honest
penny. How he would like to earn an
honest penny! He never did; he new
er will; and he feels like a dyspeptic
invalid watching a hearty beggar en-
joying bone or a crust. Many
rich man is capable Of better things;
but he does not know how to begin!"
The ancient law suggests a restoration
of the liturgies, the public services of
rich men as they were organized in
the model Greek republics. AT Ath-
ems the liturgies were legal and con-
stitutional offices imposed periodically
and according to a regular order by
each local community on citizens rat
ed as having capital Of more than
given amount. 1t always re-
mained a public office, a duty to be
filed by taste, skill. personal effort
and public spirit. Rich men contend
ed for the Office. The chief ambition
Of rich man came to be that of max
ing splendid gifts to his fellow citi-
zens, and theaters, stadiums, colon
naGes, aqueducts, gardens, libraries.
museums, pictures, statues-all were
showered upon favorite cities by
wealthy men who possessed or covet-
ed the name of citizen" A few null
timillionaires in our American repub-
lie have made public benefactions.
