BUT ONE SCENT PERMITTED
Fastldious Woman Knows Better Than
to Overdo This Essential of the
Toilet Table.

There is value in perfumes as a
safeguard against contagion, but most
women Of refinement never overdo
this use, but confine it to a delicate
fragrance that never offends, as do
gross common scents. The dainty
woman selects special perfume and
uses this only in all her toilet articles,
and it is a fad to select the fragrance
of some flower that corresponds with
the favorite color. She also has her
satchets, perfume, toilet water, pow
der and soap to correspond.
If any change is made it includes
everything on the dressing table, for
good taste DEGREES that only one IA
vored scent is permissible for each in
dividual While a little really fine
essence is delightful, thimbleful of
coarse alcoholic mixtures is disgust
ing to any sensitive nostril. Satchets
of all sorts are very much used, from
large padded Innings for shelf, drawer
or wardrobe, to smaller and more per-
sonal satchets that are tucked into
the bodice or hidden in the leaf of the
satin corsage flower SO generally
worn.

IN RUSS|A'S CAPITAL
Streets of St. Petersburg Are a
Semi-0rientaI Sight.
Houses Like Huge Human Hives
No Crowds Permitted to consreeate
and Newsboys Are Prohibited
From Calling Their Wares.

st. Petersburg-As one moves
about the streets, he is struck most
of all by the wasteful use of space.
1t is at once apparent that Petersburg
never slowly evolved from embryonic
beginnings. But it would be unwise
to proceed further in describing Pet
ersburg's streets without noting the
fact that she has two kinds of streets,
namely, the Nevsky Prospect and
others. An ordinary "oolitza" or
street except late in the afternoon
when Petersburg wakes upD, is
semi Oriental sight. Save on court
holidays, when each house is required
to hang out the national flag, there
Is no color in the streets, the houses
are dun colored and monotonously
alike. There are no hills, no small
homes, no large ones-just huge, hu.
man hives with courts in the rears,
and icons constantly lit by tiny oil
lamps in the front.
There is little noise. No crowds
gather: the newsboys are not allowed
to call their wares; bands, hand or.
gans or street vendors seldom dis
turb this solemn city of the north.
Even the tram cars creep by noise.

There is nothing like it elsewhere.
Some visitors come and go; others
stay; but foreigners never seem to
weary of gazing upon this peculiarly
varied, marvelously cosmopolitan
sight. Over the spacious wooden
pavement between the two low banks
of glittering stores, flows a motley
stream of traffic. Here the ends OF
the earth seem to meet. Everybody
from everywhere rushes hither and
thither. Red French automobiles,
their horns singing tuneful, metallic
ditties, swerve and dodge about
ragged peasants bearing burdens with
wooden shoulder yokes or driving
primitive, homemade carts. Royalty

SOMETHING NEW IN CUSHIONS
Well Not to Pile Them Up In Too
Much Profusion, but Some Are
Indispensable.

The fad for having divans piled up
with cushions of promiscuous hues is
fortunately out of vogue, but an occa-
sional cushion in the more formal
drawing room, when it is really beau
tiful and artistic, is still a possession
to be priced and is indeed a thing Of
beauty, and makes a most acceptable
gift. Such cushion, instead of being
conspicuous and startling, should rath-
er tone in with the general color
scheme of the room, and none are
more splendid than those made from
harmonious pieces of tapestry which
can now be gotten in such exquisite
colors and designs.
To buy them made up ready for use,
Is rather an impossibility for those Of
moderate means, but they are within
the reach of almost every woman
who is handy with her needle, and
possesses the necessary patience. Odd
ends of tapestry, or small remnants
can be picked up very cheaply, and to
make their beauty more pronounced
as though the tapestry is woven by
hand, outline the flowers or conven-
tional designs or the pattern of which
1t is composed with furnished boul-
lion braid in gold, which is round
rather than fiat, and couch this on
with gold thread
To make the pillow the new oblong
shape, add a strip of velvet to each
end of the tapestry, and this velvet
should match or tone in with the pre-
dominating shade in the tapestry.
Where the velvet and tapestry meet
may be finished with furnished gold
lace, and the same sort Of a cord in
gold is used around the cushion when
1t is complete. The back of the cuEh-
ion Is made of the plain velvet

Constantinople.-On OF the most
picturesque sights in Constantinople
is a Selamlik. or sultan's levee. a GER

Those invited under the ex-sultan's

arrival and departure of his majesty
when he went to pray on Friday, the
Mohammedan Sabbath.
Nowhere out OF Constantinople do

tines, English, Americans, Germans
and Russians.
Many were the curious tales which
teached us of Abdul Hamid. He lived
chiefly on eggs, they said, served
la Cog, because it would require the
skill of Borgia to poison them. His
terror of assassination was so abject
that he never left the Yildiz palace ex
cept to say his prayers once a week
at his mosque, and he employed a
faster" like any medieval mon
arch.
The ex-sultan, as all the world
knows, was and is an enemy to prog
ress and reform and excessively mar.
row in his views. The Young Turks
had a bad time of it under his sway,
and women a worse one. He en-
forced strict seclusion for Turkish
women, forbade them even to leave
the country after they were old enough
to be yelled, and obliged all respect
able women to be indoors by sun
set.
Even now, under a more enlighten-
ed rule, although they go out and
about the streets disguised in yash-
max and ferejeh, the Turkish lady is
lucky if spy does not follow in her
wake ready to report to jealous
husband the slightest indiscretion.
One of our party passed a high wall
on his way to the Selamlik, which
his dragoman informed him was that
of a harem. The walls must be
high" said the Turk, since women
are so bad
We waited long in our pavilion for
the sultan, and were relieved when at
last his coming was heralded by men
who scattered gravel before him on
the hill. Abdul Hamid was a hand
some old man with refined features,
a prominent nose and a good carriage.
He was dressed simply and he wore
no decorations. AS he drove past
the troops cheered him in a strange
low key, unlike any other hurrah I
have ever heard. 1t is etiquette that
all eyes should be cast down as the
mighty sultan goes by.
Behind Abdul Harid the ladies of
his harem drove in closed carriages,
but they did not enter the mosque,
women in Turke yhaving no souls!

Waist Pattern Help.

A waist pattern should be fitted
right side out-as it is to be worn.
Almost everyone has some variation
in the two sides Of the figure. One
shoulder will be a trife higher than
the other and the hip on the opposite
side a trifle lower than it's mate, re-
sulting in a slightly longer wasted
underarm seam on that side than on
the other. Now, if you fit the waist
wrong side out, when you have
stitched the seams and put it on right
side out the fitting will be exactly
reversed The high shoulder will be
in the side of the waist that was fitted
to the low shoulder.

New Fashion.

A charming fashion recently revived
at the Paris opera consists in pinning
couple of flowers upon the bodice
of the simply draped gowns in white
or black charmeuse. But these floral
trimmings do not adapt themselves
to the magnificent models in embrei-
dered velvets, brocaded satins and
gauzes recently launched upon the
stage, nor do they figure on beaded
creations In the latter case the
yelled effects in spangled tgHe and
lace, the draperies and the Innings
of damask and charmeuse give the
required ornamentation to these beau
tiful toilets
