Providence on His Side.

AS rule the habitual wrongdoer
bears little resentment toward the de-
tective who may have brought him to
justice. Neither is he always devoid
of blind belief in the workings OF
Providence. One known to the po-
lice as a Chronic crook" met one of
the detectives who had on several oc-
casions unpleasant business with him.
"How are you doing now. Tom?" ask
ed the detective. "Doing!" bitterly ex-
claimed the crook. you and your
pals have fairly bottled our business!
We'll, how's the wife?" asked the
man from the Yard, whereupon the
crook nearly lroke down. "The
missus," he said, died a month ago.
1t was near thing that the parish
didn't have to bury her, but with a
ring of heartfelt gratitude in his
voice. Providence was very good, for
it sent along mug in the nick O. time

WHEN BUYING SILK STOCKINGS
Easv for Purchaser to Assure Herself

itations on the Market.

There is no doubt about silk stock
ings being the chosen hosiery OF the
we'll dressed woman. The wise shop
keeper, however, selects a good quail
ity of silk stockings, for she knows
well that a cheap grade cannot wear
any length of time. Among the cheap
grades of silk stockings there are
many which are not really silk at all,
tussah silk, spun silk and even wood
fiber, for instance, being sold under
the stamp of pure silk. One can dis
tirsuish stockings of wood fiber by a
hard feeling in the stockings, as II
they mad been knitted from a tightly
twisted yarn.
Vegetable silk is made from WOOD
fiber or from raw cotton. Artificial
or vegetable silk burns like cotton
that is, with practically no ash
while silk resembles the wool fiber,
boiling I'D or bubbling, forming
lumpy sort and giving forth the odor
of burned hair. BY pulling a Re"
threads from the top OF stocking
one can determine whether she is re-
ce,ving the silk she is paying for or
cheap substitute.

EAST INDIA FUNERAL PYRE
ImmoIation of Silent Figure While
Brother Looked on in
Bitter Grief.

Even as we came opposite the bear
ers lifted one of them, all cool and
dripping, from the river and set it,
the slim, small figure, SO quiet, so
content, on. half-built pyre, G. F.
Benson writes in the Century. Brush
wood and fagots were built over it
and at the head and foot and sides
the fire was applied. A Brahman di-
rected the rites and once, as the
flames mounted and aspired, the
brother, who was watching, clutched
at his heart as there appeared for a
moment at the top of the pyre a
girls face, with closed eyes and
mouth that seemed to smile; then the
radiant veil Of fame shrouded it
again. The smoke rose in gray
who1ls and streamers against the
stainless and tender blue Of the sky,
and still the brother watched, quiet
again and composed; he had given
only that one ~'gn to show that he
loved her whose ashes now lay among
the charred and smoIdering logs. Or
rather it was only for the moment
that, thinking Of d Us OF childhood
and dawns by the riverside, he forgot
that it was not she who had been
consumed in the flames of the pyre.
Then he remembered again, and look
ing up from the pyre to the dazzling
river he saw there on our boat his
friend. the Brahman, and smiled to
him.

Crochet Hint.

In crocheting an edge on towel
or dolly, it is usually difficult the first
time around to introduce the crochet
hook; there is danger not only of
splitting the threads but also of the
hooks slipping and piercing the fin
ger. This difficulty may be overcome
by using a coarse mo. 81 needle IN
threaded, and stitching on the ma
chine around the dolly with short
stitch about three sixteenths of an
inch from the edge. Then the GRO
chet-hook can be inserted in the holes
without any difficulty.

PROTECT THE DELICATE SKIN
Beauty Gloves a Most Useful Toilet
Administering in Coiffures
important Point.

Beauty gloves are useful adjuncts to
the toilet, especially in the winter
when delicate skins are likely to chap
and roughen. One sort is made of rub
Der, and by simply keeping in the
natural oils and moisture of the skin
which would otherwise eVaporate and
be rubbed off, whiten and soften the
skin. Another sort is to wear with
medicated cream. This sort is made
of kid, in elbow and wrist length, and
can be worn while shopping and walk
ing as we'll as while resting and sleep
ing.
You know the fashion does not call
for knot just above the forehead,
where it was when the high coiffures
were in fashion before; it calls for it
further back, just at the point where
it is most difficult for woman to
have a pyramid and still retain a
good outline of her features.

Catawba tint; a clear, translucent
green and taupe color, obviously an
artificial shade, but a very beautiful
one for all that.

HOLDS THE SEWING UTENSILS
Grasswork Basket Easily Fashioned

Sweetgrass, baskets of shallow. cir

the aid of little ingenuity and few
pieces of celluloid. The basket need
not be lined, but it should be faced
to the depth of two inches from the
top edge with pale blue or whatever
may be the chosen shade of ribbon,
and from this band may be hung the
various conveniences for sewing. One
OF these conVeniences is the tiny
needle book of ribbon-covered cash

third is the pincushion fitted into a

Europe has had forty-three years of
peace 1t is true there have been
wars during that time, but they have
been peripheral, not central, There
was war in 1877 between Russia and
Turkey, war in 1898 between Spain
and the United States. war in South
Africa in 1899, and the o-Japanese
war in 1904. But these wars We're
