Marble Windows.

Remarkably beautiful effects are Sc
cured by the use OF marble as a
means of transmitting light instead OF
glass This has been accomplished
by a new process which has been de,
yised by an engineer Of Hamburg. w
Engle. He has succeeded in making
plates of marble no more than three
millimeters in thickness and for the
use designated it is available up 10
20 millimetsrs thick. The suitability
OF marble for this purpose was real
ized some time ago, but the difficulty
encountered was that Of securing the
marble in slabs Of sufficient thinness.
These plates permit Of the passage Of
a greater amount Of light than frosted
glass does, and at the same time i'm
parts 70 the rays much pleasanter
color. Most opal glass imparts to the
light an undesirable greeHish tinge
while the light which passes through
the marble has a reddish violet which
IS much pleasanter After the marble
has been ground down to the desired
it is subjected to an INNER
sion in oil under high pressure, and
the effects secured IN this manner are
said the superior to those Of stained
glass.

RASH SPREAD RAPIDLY

Granton, Wis.-"My sister had a
very bad, deep, wet, running sore on
the side Of her face and 1t ran up to
her ear. 1t commenced with a small
blotch Of pimples which turned into
a kind Of rash and spread rapidly. It
itched and looked red and sore for
some time and slightly swelled. A
thin fluid dripped and ran from the
sores which looked like water. Then
the swelling would go down and it
would keep on spreading. 1t bothered
her during sleep and she would be
restless. It was a kind Of eczema.
"She treated for some time and It
did not help her. 1t kept spreading
larger and deeper. Having always
used Cuticura Soap we told her to try
1t so she got some Cuticura Soap and
Ointment and used them. 1t was two

MORAL: The Pioneer must ever
brave, Hardships.
Meredith Picked Rzrrle.

81 was lunching one day with Sidney
Colvin at the British museum, where
he was in residence as curator Of
prints and engravings. Colvin told me
about a new writer who seemed to
have red blood in him, and who had
done a good deal Of work out in India
that was beginning to be talked about
in London. His name, Colvin said,
was Rudyard Kipling. The name was
so unusual that had to write it down
to remember it.
Shortly after this I paid my first
visit to George Meredith. l went to
Box Hill to see him about getting the
right to syndicate several of his nov
elettes, such as The Tale of Chloe
which had never been published in
book form and were unknown in
America, During the course of our
conversation l said:
Mr.. Meredith, Mr.. Colvin thinks
very highly of a new writer named
Rudyard Kipling. He believes he is
the coming man. Do you know any
thing about him?'

DAISY FLY KILLER
One Hundred Years Ago.

The curious modes which women
affect now began as far back as 1898
which is a period we should hardly
wish to copy in most respects. A
dance not at all unlike the tango was
in vogue at that time, and had many
exponents, who danced in loose bod
ices opening in V shape from the
shoulders almost to the waist. Skirts
were slit and we're often made of
transparent gauze.
We may return to the gowns of that
period, which were without waists,
having simply a girdle to the bust,
with skirts caught up rather short in
front and slightly trained at the back
In 1900 women wore sandals and
bare feet. Corset belts were only
about two inches wide. Some gowns
were caught up to the knee with large
canoes. Soon fashion overreached it.
self, and then came crinolines, pointed
footgear and unnaturally small waists.
Are we coming to this?

COIFFURE OF THE MOMENT
Be Height to Add TO Its
AttractiVeness.

No longer can we simply part the
hair at side or center and let it fall
plainly back, to be finally rolled on
the neck, or otherwise caught up
loosely. On the contrary, there must
be decided height to the fashionable
coiffure, and this exactly at the right
angle to give the full appearance be-
tween the nape Of the neck and the
apex Of the dressing, on which so
much Of the effect depends.
Then, too, the hair must now be
waved and beautifully glossy and it's
charming lines disposed in such way
as to give just the support and finish
demanded by the millinery of the mo-
ment, a great change from a short
time ago, when the ambition of the
hat seemed to disguise the fact that
the wearer had any hair at all.
Swathing of the hair is to play an
important part in the new hair dress

EASY TO BORDER CURTAINS
Practically Any Design Desired May
Be Fashioned BY Clever
Needlewomen.

A clever girl found her plain white
curtains not to her taste, so she got
some rose-patterned cretonne that
matched her wall paper and applied
them to curtains which were hemmed
top and bottom.
With a pair of curved scissors the
flowers were cut out, then laid face
downward and the backs evenly COW
cred with paste, and then arranged
about two inches from the edge OF
the curtains in such way as to make
a delightful border with graceful
trails and sprays, finally being pressed
into place with a moderately warm
flat-iron, the finished effect being al
most that of a hand-painted design.
There are many pretty ways in which
these flower borders can be carried

as the paste soaks Off If dampened.
