LIGHT FOR OPERATING ROOM
Eminent British Surgeon Believes
Green to Be Better Color Than
White, at Present Used.

The immaculate white of an oper-
ating room and everything in it has
long been a byword, but it is more
than likely that this will soon change
to "verdant green" or some other
shade of natures favorite color. Brit
ish physicians, who have lately had
an amplitude of practice in operating
rooms, are finding that white is too
wearisome to the eye and causes ia
tigue. 1t also detracts from the value
of light on and within the wound,
faght is now being focused on the
wound, not around it, with much bet
ter results.
One eminent surgeon of Leeds has
fitted up all operating room entirely
of green and it is likely his example
-dll soon be followed by many others.
Green is a restful color, offers no
sharp contract to the colors of the
wound surfaces, and ailows ligatures
and sutures to be clearly seen against

fiction adopted him; he became one of
the most popular figures in drama,

Has Odd Hobby.


An old man who perhaps hasn't re-
ceived letter in years had an odd
hobby Every time he sees in the
newspaper the list of advertised mail
sent out from time to time by the
general post Office in New York, he
turns at once to the initial letter un.
der which his name comes and runs
carefully through the list. He never
yet has found any letter that might
be supposed to be for him, and fur.
thermore hasn't found any that might
be for any of his relatives He takes
an odd pleasure in doing it, however,
something with the eagerness which
impels man to grub through pack
ct of old letters in hopes that he may
come upon some rare variety of stamp.
Really, if ever he found his name in
the list it probably would kill his en-.
joyment of the hunt forever there
after.

ten years before had ruined his father
and himself, is dead. and finds that Hill

. him. knows Craven and also Blanche
Macnair, former neighbor and play
. mate. When the daily papers come
aboard at Southampton Toye' reads that
Craven has been murdered and calls

of doing a little amateur detective work
on the case himself. In the train to town
they discuss the murder, which was COM
mitted at CaZalet's old home. Toye hears
from Cazalet that Scruton, who had been
Cazalet's friend and the scapegoat for
Craven's. dishonesty, has been released
from prison. Cazalet goes down the
river and meets Blanche. Toye also
comes to see her and tells Cazalet that
Scruton has been arrested. but as he
doesn't believe the old clerk is guilty he
is going to ferret out the murderer.

home and meet Mr.. Drinkwater of Scot

ter to the library where the murder was

Head wraps, with muff to match,
made of velvet and trimmed with fur,
are among the most fetching of novel
ties. They are soft turbans, with their
velvet drapery extended into scarf
or muff1er. The scarf portion is lined
with silk and usually tapers to point
which terminates in tassel or ball
of fur or some other ornament that
will serve to weight it a little. The
muff to match is small and usually
barrel shaped.

Then Cazalet introduced himself to
the old gardener whom hn had known
all his life; and by rights the man
should have wept outright, or else
emitted rustic epigram laden with
wise humor. But old Savage hailed
from silly Suffolk. and all his life he
had belied his surname, but never the
alliterative libel on his native county.

Savage looked cautiously toward

lowered his voice dramatically. Sure,

Blanche, and Cazalet nodded vigorous

Savage said this with a pleased and

drew deep breath as Blanche and he

It is the privilege of women to wear
all sorts of pretty accessories of dress,
and there are all sorts of airy and al
make these luxuries of apparel. Laces
and ribbons, nets and metallic gauzes,
and other transparent materials
are translated into neckwear, head
year, and other finery that bespeaks
the dainty woman. Interest IN these
things is more keen than ever when
the holidays get near. Anything that
promises an easily made and pretty
gift is welcome.
The breakfast, or boudoir cap, has
more than prettiness to recommend it.
It is a cheerful and most becoming bit
of finery that any woman may own,
and is always an acceptable gift, like
a pretty Hair of slippers. Besides the
boudoir cap there are those for trav-
cling and those that are worn at
night, and the most essential cap of
all-the dusting cap. This last one
is made of washable cotton finished
with a ruffle of the material. Travel
ing caps are made of washable silk
or of dark colors not easily soiled
They are usually gathered over elas-
tic cord or fulled on a ribbon run
through a casing about the edge of the
crown. The ends are drawn through
a slash in the casing and tied in
a bow. This allows the cap to be
flattened out when it is pressed.
The picture shows a group of three
breakfast or boudoir caps. Two of
them are of lace and one of net and
lace combined. A wide net top lace
forms the body of the first cap. The
embroidered edge is turned back
about the face and the straight edge
is gathered into a narrow lace inser-
tion. This insertion borders a circu-
lar piece at the back, forming the
crown The lace is extended into a
tab, which hangs under a bow Of soft
satin ribbon, at the back.
The second cap is very simply con-
structed of a band of shadow lace
edged with val, and a puffed crown of
net with frill OF net across the back
at the neck The lace band is extend

In the heart of the city stands one

there are contained within its three

price so stupendous as to be unbeliev-

Apollo, among other treasures, rest

Regent diamond, valued at S3,000,000,
the gems OF many famous queens OF
France, and the swords and spurs of
Charlemagne.
