NOW THE JEWELED STOCKING
Split Skirt Reveals TasseIs of Pearls
and the Like for the Ultra
Fashionable.

The celebrated lady of Banbury
Cross apparently has set the fashion
for some of the ornaments Of the
present time.
Bells for use on the feet have not
been adopted, but the CLOCK on the
stocking is being superseded in Paris
by jeweled devices from which hang
tassels of pearls and similar orna-
ments, which swing with the move
ments of the wearer, and there seems
to be no reason why golden bells
should not be introduced.
The attention devoted to footwear is
of course the direct result of the new
skirt, which is narrower than ever
and has to be split to permit move
ment at all.
In consequence a distinctive shoe is
looked upon as necessity, says the
London Standard, particularly for eve
ming wear, and cross gathering is be
ing affected also by some smart
Parisiennes.
Pale pink, blue and gold evening
shoes are decorated with paste buck
les and have streamers of broad black
velvet ribbon, studded with brilliants
which are crossed over the instep and
wound around the leg of the wearer,
forming lattice pattern on pale
groundwork of silk.
A west end shoemaker, however
gives it as his opinion that the idea
is not likely to find much favor in
England. I'VE are asked for fewer
light colored Shoes" he declared
English women have not as whole
very small feet, so that anything
which tends to accentuate the size
is not likely to be popular"

POET NOT YET FORGOTTEN
Friends of coIeridee Place Memorial
In Church Where Once he
Aspired to Preach.

Coleridge's query to Lamb, Charles,
did you ever hear me preach?" and
Elias famous answer, 81 never heard
you do anything else" must have been
in the minds of the little company
which assembled the other day In the
High Street Unitarian church at
Shrewsbury, England, for the unveil-
ing of memorial to the poet in COM
memoration of the fact that for three
Sundays in 1889 he preached there as
candidate for the pastorate. One of
his auditors on one of those Sundays
was William Hazlitt, who has left on
record that the manner of the preach.
er was like an eagle dallying with
the wind" Whether the regular mem.
bers of the congregation were equally
impressed is not on record, but they
were not called upon to express their
views by voting, for an offer of pen
sion Of a hundred and fifty pounds a
year decided Coleridge to withdraw
from his candidature. That 30 slight
an event in the poets life has now
been commemorated would seem to in.
dicate revival of interest in his
work. If that should prove to be the
case, perhaps something will be done
to do fit honor to the somewhat squal

THE PERFECT WOMAN.

The perfect woman who has beer
found among the 400 girl students OF
Cornell university overturns many
old-fashioned notions. She is not g
farm girl, but city bred, yet she is
studying agriculture for a profession
She does not eat candy. She is feet
z inches tall and weighs I'll pounds
The young lady of the fashionable
novel 80 years ago had waist that
could be spanned with the two hands,
meaning some 16 inches, wrought by
painful artifice; naturally she tainted
at least once in every chapter and
had to be restored with smelling salts
after cutting her corset strings. Cor.
nelps perfect woman has 30.3-inch
waist and chest measure 4.3 inches
larger, about the proportions of the
Venus of Milo. She has never faint
ed; has never been Ill at all. Gone
is the girl who used to chew slate PEN
ellis to make her face white and was
never seen abroad without her veil
and parasoi. Forgotten Is the maxim
that "the finest women, like the finest
flowers, are raised under glass" The
American girl of today, If gifted with
the leisure, plays tennis and golf and
courts sunlight; the chances are
about five to one that she cannot pos
sibly squeeze herself into her grand
mothers wedding gown, says the New
York World, In this great transfer
nation favorable environment and
plenty of food have scarcely had more
to do than active habits and the
growth of sensible ideas of physical
well-being.

BREAD THAT'S ALWAYS FRESH
Scientists Have Como Forward With
Valuable Contribution to Food
Supply Of tho People.

What man In the street knows or
cares anything about valency? Or
perceives in, let us say, the allotropic
notifications of sulphur an analogy to
anything of practical interest to him?
Yet these things have much to do
with our daily bread, and may figure
largely in the statement of some bak-
ers' strike.
Thus Prof. Katz of Amsterdam, in
studying the question of what chem
lists call valency, has been investigat-
ing the influence of temperature upon
chemical reactions. He finds that the
fresh bread which most men prize and
the stale bread which only some dys-
peptics tolerate are simply modifica-
tions of the same substance, COM
parable with the aforesaid allotropic
notifications of sulphur. But what
causes the change? Nothing but the
change of temperature. If bread is
kept at high temperature 1t remains
unchanged. Or If 1t is Immediately
reduced to very low temperature
and is kept there, the chemical chang
es are SO slow and slight as to be
negligible.
1t is therefore proposed in Holland
to utilize this discovery through the
establishment of large storage ware
houses, either hot OF cold, in which re,
serves of bread shall be accumulated
and kept perpetually fresh, for use
in case of such emergencies as gen.
eral strike of bakers or temporary
scarcity of supplies Of grain. There
could scarcely be better illustration
of the relationship between some of
the most abstruse researches in sci
ence and the most familiar needs of
everyday life.-New York Tribune.

4REsuLTs" ALL THAT COUNT
Advancement In Business Office or
Factory Seldom Has Much to Do
With Personal Matters.

1t frequently happens that when
one receives raise in wages or is
otherwise advanced that one who ia
left behind may say of the promoted
one, He (or she) thinks he is bet
ter than / am"
OF course, 1t may be that the sue
cessful one only thinks" he is bet
ter. 1t may be case Of conceit; it
may be an unjust advance. Such
things do happen. But more likely
than not you as a critic overlook the
very thing for which the other was
advanced, 1t is possible, it is prob
able, that in the advancement all the
characteristics that you do or do not
like in the other were overlooked.
The foreman, superintendent or en-
ployer who did the promoting may
have never given thought to the light
er characteristics of the fortunate
one. He simply measured results; he
Just got down to the "solid rocks" of
the quantity and quality of goods
made, delivered, packed, sold, or the
letters written, accounts kept or what
ever the work of the "better" one
was.
You can save a great deal Of time
and hasten your own advancement by
measuring success through results
and.not through personal peculiarities.
Try to forget the personal popularity
or unpopularity Of one advanced, and
to be equally successful find out
what he or she does; do not bother
about what he or she thinks he is
