FASHION MORE SOBER
RICHNESS AND SIMPLICITY TO
MARK NEW GOWNS.
Possibly Even More Costly, but Decid-
eddy Quieter in Effect, Is the
Promise Made to Us by
the Designers.

There is a familiar and much abused
word which succinctly describes the
best class Of new tailored wear for
fall, and that word is elegant" the
word being used in it's best sense as
pertaining to all that is distinguished,
refined and aristocratic. The Partisan
term elegant" the woman of highbred
distinction, and of wealth and class
truly elegant, then is the new fall
taileur with it's trim, slim lines, its
perfect cut, it's uneXaggerated and re-
served character throughout-a gra-
eious contrast indeed to the overdone
Orlentafseffects with which tall. short,
stout and thin women have struggled
through the past twelve months.
There has been a tendency fog some
months past, on the part of tie tailor
ing craft, to get away from intimate,
meaningless draperies, sA.shes, sashes
and other features of f2r eastern orr
gin, and establish feLainine tailored
wear more on the SIZE and sane basis
Of effects more nearly approaching
those masculine tailored garments,
The new fall suits turned out by au
thoritative hands, are not mannish-
they are far too graceful and dainty
for that, but they keep to established
mannish forms. Skirts are straight
ard narrow, and though drapery ap-
pears reasonably it is beginning now
to take its proper place in gowns of

LARGE PIMPLES ON BACK

2235 No. Sth St., Philadelphia, Pa
my trouble started from pimples
which formed on my back, then they
went to my face and kept getting
worse. The pimples were large and
very red with much corruption in the
heads and they burned when 1 would
squeeze them. My clothing irritated
them when it rubbed against them on
my back. When they broke out on
the face they caused Disagreement.
Il underwent treatment but got no
relief. l was discouraged and thought
l would see if there was some adver-
tisement in the paper that would give
me relief. The first one my eyes fell
on was Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
I sent for a sample and soon found re-
lief. Then my mother told me to go
to the drug store and buy a box of
Cuticura Soap and Ointment. l
washed my face first with Cuticura
Soap, then dried it well and applied
the Cuticura Ointment. I used them
three times a day and in a week my
face and back were cleared complete

ranted by the Exigencies of
the Case.

Amelia E. Barr, in her autobio-
graphy, tells of her experience in look
lag for a church home" in the big
city. She enjoyed a sermon by a IA
nous preacher and wrote to ask about
Joining his congregation. An officer
of the church called. After the polite
preliminaries he said: Doctor c..
would like to know the name of your
banker" My banker she replied
in amazement. Il have no banker"
You see" he continued, ours is a
very extravagant church, mean in
good works-and our members must
be looked to for large subscriptions.
Doctor c. is acquainted with your
name. and thinks highly of you, but
he is afraid you would not be able
to give as-as literally as our church
expenses demanded" Mrs. Barr looked
at him silently while he ~foundered in
explanations. Finally she said: You

HANDLE MONEY AND HATE IT
Peculiar State of Mind That Comes
of Employees of the Most Noted
Gambling Resort.

Probably no one hates the sight OF
money as do the croupiers at Monte
Carlo, through whose hands thousands
n thousands of pounds pass every
year.
1t is not everyone who a be a
croupier. lingering and counting
money at the casino requires special
training, and, accordingly, there is a
school of %croupiers in Monaco. Here
there are tables similar to those used
in the gambling rooms, and each
scholar is taught by a master
how to become a croupier.
The master" and the scholars"
personate players, while one scholar
takes the part of croupier. The money
used is sham, metal discs being sub
stituted for coins and slips of paper
for bank notes. Within a given time
the croupier-scholar must calculate
and pay out the winning stakes, and
he must make no mistakes. He has
to learn how to pitch money from
one end of the table to a precise spot
at the other end, and a good many
other things.
When a scholar is passed as per-
feet he enters the service of the
casino under an agreement which
stipulates that he can be dismissed
at a moments notice without any
reason being given him.-London Tit

Fanaticism and PROGRESS.

Without fanaticism of a certain
sort, progress would be impossible.
The minds of men and women must be
surcharged with love of a cause, or
hatred of a wrong, else they will not
put their all into the fighting. The
very origin of the word fanatic
connotes absorption in a single idea.
for the word is derived from the Latin
"fanum" Ga temple) and the "fanati-
Gus" was supposed to be maddened by
the divinity whose fame he frequented.
And it is quite certain that now, as of
old, the motive power of every great
propaganda is essentially religious,
even though the leaders call them
selves agnostics or atheists. No abso-
lutely selfish or absolutely skeptical
person, can lead either the masses or
the classes. At the core of the true
leaders being there must be an idea
to which he clings and to which he
will sacrifice all else with a light heart.

with an all-consuming passion; Will
liam III. was cold, but he loved Hol-
land with a devotion that knew no
bounds.-New Orleans Times-Demo-

HUNGARY OLD STATE
Has Been an independent Coun.
try Since Year 1901.
ls a Beautiful Land of immense End
less Plains, Great Rivers, Lovely
Lakes, Deep Forests and Most
Magnificent Mountains.

London.-Although tourists in Hun.
gary have discovered mineral springs
and baths whose waters contain medi-
cinal properties, they have not yet in
vaded the charming country districts.
Not far from the fashionable hotels
and sanitariums, are queer, quaint lit
tie villages never seen by travellers of
the beaten path.
1t is a beautiful country of immense
endless plains, great rivers, lovely
lakes, deep forests and magnificent
mountains. Since 1901 it has been an
Independent sovereign state and a
kingdom, over which at present his
majesty, the Emperor Franz Joseph,
is king. His subjects include 5000, 000
Magyars, light and handsome, who oc-
cupy the fertile plains; 5000, 600 Slavs
in the outlying districts and Croatia;
100000 olive-complexioned Roumani-
ans on the hills and mountains; 2,000,-
900 Germans on the edges of the Car
pathians and Pennsylvania; 1000, 900
mixed races, a large part of which are
gypsies or Jews.
There is plenty of Dom everywhere
and everything is far apart. A church,
an inn, and a few rows of neat little
houses make up the villages. Some of
the very best residences are surround
ed by specious grounds and a high
spiked fence. Many of the cottages are
painted in pale yellow ochre and have
roofs of brownish-gray tiles. A blue
band about two feet wide is painted
around it just below the ewes, and is
stencilled by the women with red and
orange fruit and flowers. A narrower
plain blue stripe surrounds the bottom
of the walls. This color denotes that
he occupants are of Slavonic descent.
Gypsies use yellow instead of blue.
The gable end of the house is usual
ly next to the road, and stretches back
a long distance into a yard, where
there is a draw-well. In a small arch
owe the doorway may be seen a pic
ture of the Madonna. 1t is not custom
airy to knock before entering any
house or room, and all doors contain
so much glass taat there is very little
privacy even in bed chambers.
The small homes are Immediately
clean and neat and there is usually a
greenfield stove. Tables, chairs and

IN ALL SIZES AND SHAPES
New Buttons May Be of Any Kind
Which the Fancy of the Wearer
Chooses to Dictate.

The new buttons are in odd shapes
and colorings. Squares, ~heXagons,
pyramid effects, barrel, platter, olive,
bathtub and pear shapes are the nov-
elites. Besides these unusual shapes
there are still the ball and half-ball
buttons.
Some very striking novelties are in
black glass or crystal with mosaic de-
signs in Chinese colorings. These I'M
usual effects are accomplished by
means of carving, and by painting the
designs underneath the crystal. Dainty
floral designs are done the same way.
These Chinese colorings are even
more strikingly emphasized in the
semi-ball buttons, some Of which are
half one color and half another, while
others are divided into as many as
four sections, each of which is in a diff
ferent color. Rich burnt orange tones
are frequently used.
Some handsome porcelain buttons
are painted in Persian and mosaic eff
fects. Among the extremely new eff
fects, in porcelain and crystal are the
fruit buttons in realistic shapes and
colorings. Apples, pears, cherries,
ETC., are so perfectly designed as to
render them readily recognizable.

BabyS Deduction,

A well known clergyman tells this
story to illustrate the early age at
which children learn to notice"
A young father, not ordinarily given
to profanity, had slipped into the
habit of using bad words when, as
too frequently happened, his collar re-
fused to fasten easily. One day the
collar-impatiently discarded-fell up
on the floor and later was retrieved by
the baby, just beginning to creep and
talk.
Dada, dada" cried the baby, wav-
ing the rejected article of apparel.
Yes, it belongs to dada" said the
proud parent, snatching up his son
and heir. Now baby tell papa it's
