REMINDED HER OF OLD DAYS
in the City Interesting Because
of Its Novelty

There's a real old-fashioned house
cleaning going on next door," said the
girl who lives on the top floor, "and
it's so long since l saw anything ap.
preaching it that it seems mighty in
teresting. People move so much in
New York that there doesn't appear
to be any more reason for houseclean-
ing. They have rugs instead of car
pets and they hang pictures on tacks
and leave their curtains up all sum-
mer, which no self-respecting woman
would do in the old days.
But next door they are beating car
pets and painting shutters and they've
hung all the winter clothes out on the
lines and washed the blankets and
whitewashed the cellar and put the
window screens out and played the
hose on them, and you can just imag-
inc how clean and cool and shining
the house will be when it's all over
with. OF course it is not so easy as
the new way Of hiring housekeeping
companies that bring their air brooms
and other apparatus that do the job
up in twenty-four hours or so, but you
cannot convince an old housekeeper

15-YEAR-OLD TIRES OF WORLD
Writes That His Life Has Been Fall
ure Then Takes
Poison.

Atlanta, aa.--Leaving a note in
which he declared that his life had
been failure and that there was moth
ing left to live for, Leroy Thomas,
tifteen-year-old country boy, attempted
suicide here by swallowing poison.
His attempt was unsuccessful
Four weeks ago Leroy came to the
city to make his fortune. On the trip
to Atlanta he began in little diary
the story of his conquest OF the world.
His attempt was after three weeks Of
failure. He now says that he will al,
ways be satisfied with his happy home
on the farm
When he fell after swallowing the
acid, he clutched in his hand note
to his father IL read;
Il am a complete failure. There's
no need of me causing my folks any
more trouble l want to go where
mamma went year ago. I'll be bet
ter off there. l am in the way here.
They don't want folks in this world
who are failures. Goodby."
In his pockets were pawn tickets
for most of his possessions he had
brought to the city with him, telling
of struggle against odds that were
too much for the unframed country
lad. Doctors say he will be able
go back to his home within week.

Formerly two cities, Buda on the

The population of the combined cit
les is about 10000, and here is the
center of all Hungarian activities,
Hungary as nation having little real
culture, no manufacturing TO speak or,
in short, naught but pastoral ex-
istence outside of it's capital city.
The rich fertility of the Danubian
plains has always made agriculture

as the plains themselves constitute
the principal area of the kingdom. But
the life OF Budapest is compensatory

of Hungary. Budapest is Paris. VI

There is kimono sl-eved blouse
with a round bib in front finished with
the embroidered scallops. This arches
up from the under arm seams over
the bust line at center front. The
girdle has short sash ends tied in

fringe. The tunic skirt is mounted
with scant even gathers to the belt
and embroidered around the lower
edge About half way between hip

Two-Colored Handkerchief.

At one time any handkerchief that
had it's snowy whiteness sullied by a
colored border was considered in the
very worst taste, but now we not only
think coloref borders quite desirable,
but complete pale-colored handker-
chiefs are also chosen, and the very
newest thing is colored handkerchief
with a different colored border. In
both handkerchief and hem the colors
are very delicate, almost pastel in
tints, so they are not as terrible as
they sound. Very pale pink with an
equally pale mauve border, and pale
blue with pale French gray hem,
and orchid mauve with a pale blue
pink, or gray border, are the favorite
mixtures.

cuIpabIe Bank Officials Punished.

The tribunal at Buiach, near Zurich.
Switzerland, after a three days trial
of the chief officials of the local saw
ings bank, which failed for the hugo
sum of s1,400,0O0 in 1910, involving in
ruin thousands of the Swiss poorer
classes, has given its verdict. Three
directors were acquitted, four were
sentenced to Imprisonment for terms
varying from Is days to three months,
whilst the cashier, Albrecht, received
one years penal servitude. From the
point of view of British justice the
sentences are very lenient, but the
principal culprit, Muller, who lost all
the money and shot himself soon after
his arrest, was the chief manager, and
the directors. who had too much faith
in him, also lost heavily. Since 1910
several directors Of this bank have
died and a number Of ruined creditors
have taken their lives.

There was large crowd at a beer
garden restaurant in upper Broadway

Walters were busy serving all kinds Of
dishes and drinks popular in such
places, with hot sausages and beer far
in the lead. when shrill whistle was
heard, and walters in the act of TAX
ing orders and others delivering steam
ing and foaming specialties responded
to the strike signal. One of the three
walters who remained, when all the
rest had gone, was asked by a woman
whom he had served: "Why didn't
you quit with the others" He leaned
over and whispered confidentially:

For schoolgirls dresses there seems

A very pretty gown was carried out
in a soft green and blue plaid, trimmed
with revers of sponge cloth in cor

being made in coat and skirt fashion,

KEEPS SCENT FROM SPILLlNG
Small Stand in Which to Place Eot-
ties May Also Give Touch OF
Dainty Coloring.

Most women like to have bottle
of eau de cologne on their dressing
table. for apart from the refreshing toll
let properties of this scent, 1t Is eX~
ceedingly useful in case of a SICK
headache or sudden attack OF taint-
ness. A little stand accompanying II
has many merits, for it not only pro-
v!des touch of dainty coloring 1or
ones bedroom. but also keeps the
bottle from being easily knocked over
and broken.
Scent bottles are made In standard
sizes. so. before commencing to make
the stand procure the bottle OF eau
de cologne. Then take careful meas
urements, and your case will fit prop
erly and can be refilled at will
To make the stand, cut round OF
stiff cardboard, three inches larger
in diameter than the bottle, and an
other strip of cardboard which, when
Joined, will allow the bottle to be HIT
ed in and out with ease.
Cover both the surfaces with fancy
silk or ribbon, and line with either the
same silk or a piece of thin white
sateen. Oversew all the edges and
then stitch the upright portion OF the
case to the center of the base Inc
oversewn edges are trimmed with
fine cord and a spray of artificial tiow-
ers or a smart bow of ribbon attach
ed to the stand.
Let the case be in keeping with the
character of the scent For instance,
a bottle of violet extract could be
incased in mauve figured silk or EN-
bossed velvet and decorated with
bunch of ribbon violets.

FASHION.

Striped velvet which resembles cor.
duroy is a much favored material.
Revers and collars are frequently
faced with a contrasting material and
edged with fur.
Aigrettes are grouped about the
crown and are in some instances the
only trimming.
Many women wear the nair crna-
ment or bandeaux well down upon
the head. sometimes a pearl-shaped
pendant drops down upon the fore
head
Short coats of brocade will be worn
with cotton gowns and they should al.
ways match in color.

Black and White Checks.

For strictly tailored wear the black
and white checks are looked upon
with favor, designed on lines that are
severe, the cutaway coats trimmed
with black satin collars and cuffs and
having a piped seam at the waistline.
The skirts are fashioned with seams
running at various angles, according
to the ideas of the designer. In the

play of stripes made by bias pieces,
