Reception Gown.

A reception gown that have just
seen and one that merits description,
was in a thick cream charmeuse and
of a simplicity that was as deceptive
as it's expensiveness was real. The
skirt was cut short enough to clear
tie ground, and was looped up at the
left side to reveal deep hem of
black velvet, on which was imposed
a band of fat braid, about three inches
wide. then came white cluny lace
insertion edged with narrow band of
ermine. The bodice was arranged with
the same deceptive simplicity, with a
white hemstitching of charmeuse. The
long. unlined sleeves terminated with
a loose cuff-a composite elaboration
OF velvet, braid, lace and fur. At the
neck which was cut slightly open, one
of the new cravats was in evidence. 1t
consisted of band of black velvet,
with frfI1 of lace so arranged as to
form a double collar. 1t was fas.
tened with bow and ends of MORE
ribbon or purple shade and edged with
ermine. A large fiat felt hat with
swathing of purple tulle, completed
this curious but decidedly attractive
toilette Exchange.

SPIRIT IN TUBERCULOSIS WAR
Nineteen Million Dollars Expended
Last Year in Fight Against the
Dread White Plague.

Nearly S19,O00,000 was spent in the
anti-tuberculosis campaign in the
United States during the year 1912, ac'-
cording to the fourth annual statisti-
cal statement of expenditures in this
movement issued by the National As
6ociation for the Study and Prevention
OF tuberculosis. The expenditures
during the year for sanatorium and
hospital construction and treatment
make the largest single item in the
total, amounting to nearly $16,S00,000.
This is an increase of nearly $5,000.'

lures for the year 1911. The anti
tuberculosis associations and commit
tees spent over $765.00O, while dis
pensaries and tuberculosis clinics
spent over 100000. Over $415,000
was spent for the maintenance and
establishment of open-air school and
fresh air classes, which is more than
double the amount spent for this pur-
pose in 1911. Official, state and mu-
nicipal expenditures outside of the
maintenance Of institutions, which are
included in the other totals, amount
ed to $2S0,000. In addition to these
figures. about 100000 was spent by
hospitals for insane and penal insti-
tutions in caring for their tuberculosis
inmates.

FOUGHT WITH RAILROAD TRAIN
Herd of lnfuriated Bulls Held Their
Own in Combat With Master
piece of Man.

At point on the railway line be-
tween Mirabel and Canaveral, on the
Spanish side of the boundary line be-
tween Spain and Portugal, there once
occurred an odd sort of bullfight.
A train had just come out on 9
sweeping curve from the hills and
down upon little plain when the en-
gineer saw directly before him herd
of bulls on the tracks. The engineer
blew his whistle vigorously and all
the bulls fed, with the exception Of
one great fellow, who made straight
for the train with horns lowered and
roaring defiance.
1t was too late to prevent collision
and TIE bull was killed, but his car
cass, lying under the wheels Of the
locomotive, prevented the train pro-
ceeding. Passengers and crew united
to clear the track. In the meantime
the great herd of bulls, seeming the
blood of their dead leader, came flock.
ing back, paving and threatening. The
nearer they came the more Infatuated
they grew, and finally they charged
like a whirlwind on the little band OF
workers.
Then all the men abandoned their
task and took refuge in the cars. The
bulls followed them to the very steps.
believing and paving. Soldiers aboard
the train tried to stampede the ami
mails with stones. The bulls recoiled,
charged again, recoiled once more;
and for two hours the battle ragged,
victory now seeming to be with one
side and now with the other. At last
as night came on, the bulls withdrew
and betook themselves to some dis
tant shelter. Then the employees and
passengers were able to set to work
again. The track was cleared and
the train proceeded on its way.

SMART LITTLE COATS
VELVET ADMIRABLY ADAPTED
FOR cHILDREN's WEAR.
Material Gives the Effect of Simple
Elegance, So Appropriate in the
Costume of the Maiden Small
Simplicity the Watchword.

CAildren's coats, as well as coats for
grownups, are particularly attractive
this year. and as the season pro-
crosses pretty new models appear day
after day The simplicity and child
like quality which are essentials OF
success in garments for small folk i'm
pose limitations, and the eccentric
and fantastic are always out of place
IN children's clothes. So are the over
elaborate and the fussy; but there is
such thing as simple elegance. and
this comes within the confines of
good taste in children's dress. though
many mothers, even mothers with
great fortunes at their disposal pre-
Ter the simplicity without the ele-
gance when it is a matter of planning
their childrens outfits.
The rich and beautiful velvets of
the season offer ample opportunity
for that elegant simplicity already
mentioned, for velvet simply and I'M
derstandingly handled is, oddly
enough, admirably adapted to childish
dresses and coats. When one takes
even the small amount of costly vel
vet needed for child's coat, lines it
with soft satin, trims it lightly with
good fur and perhaps adds just few
touches of hand braiding or hand EN-.
broidery one has a little garment
whose price is likely to be astonishing
ly high, but whose beauty is beyond
question.
There are many such models in this
seasons showing. Velvet in all the
dark and medium tones of blue, in
btack, in browns from seal to sand
and beige, in warm dark green's and
in many beautiful shades of red is
used for smart little coats, almost in
variably fur trimmed, and in some
cases velvet is combined with cloth
The last idea has appealed to the
designers and occasionally one finds
very successful coat of this type,
though in the models for very small
girls and boys the one material coat
is usually more effective because it is
less alible to eccentricity, more sure
of striking the simplicity note
One good looking little coat made
of the two materials looked exceed
ingly well on the child who wore it.
The upper part of the coat was of
soft, fieecy cloth in diagonal weave
and in a warm light brown or leather
tone. The bottom of the coat was in
black velvet and band of dark fur
separated the two materials and ran
up the coat front. The collar and cuffs
were of fur.

ONLY WAY TO CLEAN FURS
Dirt Is Bound to Accumulate and by
This Method the Fabric Will
Not Be Injured.

Fur garments do not show dirt as
much as fabrics, but II they are worn
a great deal, dust and dampness cause
an accumulation of dirt round the
roots of the hairs. The oil that re-
mains in the skin holds 1t.
To cleanse the garment lay it fiat
on table and rub it with moistened
sawdust-hardwood preferred-or corn
meal; then beat it thoroughly with a
small stick. Do not hang the garment
up to beat it, nor strike hard enough
to injure the skin.
When you have rubbed and beaten
it well, so that you have broken up
and loosened the caked accumulation,
give the garment a good shaking and

Homesickness Spells Photographs

Aunt Maria thought, and so did her
relatives in the big city, that the
photographer was unpardonably dis
courteous. For three successive days
he refused to take Aunt Maria's photo
graph. On the fourth day he told
why.
I'm Justice to her." he said, II do
not want to take her pictures now.
She is too homesick Most out-of'
town people want to be photographed
while in the city. II they are longing
for home l put them off with one ex'
cuse or another until the homesicS
ness wears of.
IF you want your aunt's pictures to
turn out well, just hunt up some one
from her home town who happens to
be visiting here at present and bring
him here so she will meet him unex-
pectedly. The meeting will put sparkle
and animation into her face, and nei-
Their she nor I will be disappointed

nut is set forth in paragraph from
Berlin, Germany. According to the
newspaper report experiments have
been going on for some time with a
rudderless, crewless motor boat on
Lake Wansee which have proved re.

of this crewless boat is a school
teacher named Christian Wirth. In
irving out his invention the boat was
lowed out two miles in the lake and
by means of his wireless apparatus
all the boats movements were d.

In Which keziah's Troubles Multiply.
! keziah was getting worried about
her parson. Not concerning his popu-
larity with his congregation. She had
long since ceased to worry about that.
But what worried Mrs. Coffin was
John Ellerys personal appearance and
behavior. He had grown perceptibly
thinner during the past month, his
manner was distract. and, worst of all
in the housekeeper's eyes, his appetite
had fallen off. She tried all sorts of
tempting dishes, but the result was
discouraging.
His Observation-Disclosures was most
acute on Sunday evenings, before pray

from the afternoon at Captain Ell
kanah's.

was received settled the question OF

After the morning service Mr.. Ellery
az usual went home with Captain
Daniels and Annabel. Keziah returned
to the parsonage, ate a lonely dinner
and went upstairs to her own room
Her trunk was in one corner Of this
room and she unlocked it, taking from
a compartment Of the tray a rosewood
writing case, inlaid with mother-of
pearl, present from her father, who
had brought it home from sea when
she was girl.
From the case she took a packet OF
letters and a daguerreotype. The lat
ter was the portrait of young man
in high-collared coat, stock and fancy
waistcoat Mrs. Coffin looked at the
daguerreotype, sighed, shuddered, and
laid it aside. Then she opened the
packet of letters. Selecting one from
the top Of the pile. she read It slowly
And, as she read, she sighed again.
She did not hear the back door OF
the parsonage open and close softly
Nor did she hear the cautious foot
steps in the rooms below. What
aroused her from reading was her
own name, spoken at the foot of the
stairs.
"Keziah! Keziah, are you there?"
She started, sprang up, and ran out
into the hall, the letter still in her
hand.

Mr., Little lived to ripe old age.
He would have been 73 years of age
had he lived until February lst, 1913.
For the last six years before his death
he was incapacitated on account Of n
stroke of paralysis, but bore his bur
den with fortitude. Finally he was at
tackled with Bright's disease and suf-
fered greatly from swollen foot.
which was attacked by blood poison.
His sufferings must have been very
great, but throughout the long days
of his illness he was perfectly resign
ed to Gods will and was able to tell
those who came to see him in his last
illness that he was confident of his
salvation and asked them to meet him
in heaven. Throughout all of his pain
full illness he did not murmur.
MIR. Little was a good soldier during
he war between the States. He serv-
ed in Company E, 9TH Regiment South
Carolina Cavalry.
He was n consistent member of
Bethany Presbyterian church and was
loved and honored by a wide circle OF
friends and acquaintances who sympa-
thize deeply with the family in their
great loss.
