Submarine Booms Trade.

In these days with many visitors
rambling around, the telescope man on
the Battery sea wall does land office
business. Possibly it is his descrip-
tion of the remarkable sights to be
seen by means of his long glass that
is responsible for the trade. Some of
them are described on neat canvas
sign as follows
'sThis telescope shows Statue of Lib-
erty, IN miles away and 305 feet high.
Also cannon. forts and soldiers on Gov
ernor's island. Liners and ships may
be seen, including captains and pas
sengers. Views cents"
Perhaps there is in the last sem
tence subtle suggestion that the linz.
ers may be Summarized; in other
words, take a last look at your
friends" At any rate he never fails
to call attention to passing liners
which mount guns for defense against
submarine guns. demanding that pass
ersby take this chance of getting a
good look at the guns mounted on the
stern. This is never-failing attrac-
ton nowadays and means a fresh
shower of nickels for the telescope
man--New York Times.

Separate Capes and
Pelerines

Little separate capes and pelerines,
to be worn with light summer frocks,
are essentially classy affairs INDUCED
in by comparatively few women. Along
with saddlebag pockets and the hoped
gown, they are for those who are al
ways looking for something new. The
cape, as a part Of the street dress or
coat, Is more widely accepted, and in
any case there is no smarter accessory
of dress.
To think of capes is to think of silk.
but the capes of today bring many 9TH
er materials to mind as well. Taffeta
stands at the head ais favorite In the
list of available fabrics, which includes
linen, alpaca, crepe, organdie, and
satin. Changeable taffetas trimmed
with rUchings of the silk or with ruch-
ings of black moiisseline eliminate any
chance of failure If one starts out to
make something creditable in little
cape.

NegIigee of Silver Cloth
and Chiffon

There are negligees-and Eegligees
made of dainty and colorful fabrics,
and the utmost of luxury Is expressed
In some of them. Those of the rich
est materials are frankly extrava-
gances. not made for use but for the
sole purpose of looking pretty-whtch
is use enough. These picturesque
garments are not intended for the light
of day, except as it is screened and
softened in the houdoir. They presup-
pose the possession of other more
practical things for house wear.
One OF these fascinating frivoIities
is shown In the illustration. Cloth-of-
silver and ro~e chiffon are combined in
making it, to their mutual advantage.
A long slip, OF the silver tissue, is
yelled with full straight-hanging
sleeveless coat of the chiffon having

by way of suggesting luxury. BIT of

back. A full-hlown rose of silk is very

He stumped off down the stairs. Mrs

tub.
On the day of his release Lem
Brown came home in midafternoon.
AS he turned into the alley off Calvert

Gerry store on the opposite corner and
took up post across the alley from
the Brown tenement, where he waited

it repeats in its petals the sheen and
color about it.
At the back of the coat belt of sill
yer lace confines the fullness of the
chiffon in plaits, and serves another
purpose In weighing it. The binding
of silver cloth makes itself useful in
the same way.
Rose chiffon and silver lace make
the pretty cap to be worn with this
aristocrat among negligees. 1t is fin
ished with many long loops of baby
velvet ribbon. Although they are not
in evidence, the chances are that moth
ing more substantial than cloth-of-sil-
yer slippers and rose-colored silk hose
answered the question of footwear, to
correspond With the cap and gown.

silk.

of blue serves for the very pretty mod
ell that is shown In the illustration. In
size, this cape takes a middle course
between those that reach almost to the
elbows (they are rare) and brief af-
fairs that barely hold out to the point
of the shoulder. These two extremes
arc met with on coats. The cape pic
tured is scalloped and hemmed and
entirely yelled with black, silk nous
seline. 1t is made with a high fiaring
collar and all its edges are finished
with ruching of mousseline gathered
along the middle into scant fullness.
Rather wide black taffeta ribbon
makes long tie for finishing the
neck. 1t is laid in folds and tackled
down about the neck opening, with
the free ends just long enough to knot
easily. 1t is a support and finish for
the cape.
Parasols and eapes to match are
made for those outdoor affairs of sum
mertime that call for formal dress.
Both are covered with mass of full
ruchings made of narrow strips of silk
frayed at the edges.

Dry Plates.

On recent evening during rain
storm, and while the downpour was
heaviest, man dropped one of numer-
Gus packages he was carrying, just as
he crossed Meridian street, near the
public library, and passed on, unaware
of his loss. The incident was wit
messed by many persons who had
sought the shelter in the entrance to
the library, and by many others watch
ing the storm from the windows of
the Board of Trade building. For full
ly ten minutes it lay in the rain, SEEM
ingly an object of much curiosity to
those who had seen it tumble from
the mans arms. Then young man
in the Board of Trade building, urged
on by his fellow-employees, braved the
torrent, and swapping the package un-
der his coat, rushed back to his office,
the others crowding round him while
he hastily removed the rain-soaked
cover TO inspect his find. This Is what

NOTES ON POPULAR SCIENCE
Some Items Of interest on Grave SUBJ
Jects, With a Smile in Each
One Of Them.

An extremely simple device for re-
moving ordinary stains from the hands
is a sink, cake of soap, hot water and
towel.
Few people know this, but it is true,
that you may always secure seat in
street car by going early to the car
barn and starting out with the car.
Even the most skilled musicians
have been unable to play Annie Laurie
on shoe horn.
Ten pounds of lead nodded to fit
inside your hat will prevent it from
blowing off at windy street corners.
One teaspoonful of blasting powder
smoked In pipe will almost instantly
remove the offensive strong odor.
No steamships have put In at Tomb
stone, Ariz., since America was dis
covered.
Ordinary white cotton thread is SO
pliable that 1t may be wound around
spool without breaking.
There is enough wood ia a cord of
wooden toothpieks to make pile eight
feet long, four feet high and four feet
wide.
1t has been discovered that the Wild
est part of the Atlantic ocean lies be-
tween the points of land farthest
apart.
Three thousand miles of safety razor
blades placed in row would reach
from New York to San Francisco. If
they were placed in the opposite lirec-
ton they would reach from San Fran
cisco to New York.
The highest-priced motion picture
known was the Mona Lisa.
Scientists have proved that ordinary
malleable iron makes better nails than
watermelon seeds.
A sure test for eggs-place the egg
on car track. If the car is derailed
but the egg uninjured the egg is prob
ably indigestible.
Three tablespoonfuls of salt added
to a glass of water will make 1t quite
unfit for drinking purposes.
If pin refuses to enter the cloth,
although you push it firmly, but it
penetrates your thumb, examine it
closely. The chances are you were
trying to push it head first.
The dark spots on blotting paper are
frequently caused by the absorption of
ordinary writing ink.
For swallowing purposes an open
safety pin is liz times more danger
Gus than gum drop.
Never sit on third rail when wear
ing wet overalis.

on the Modern Woman.

Justus Miles Forman, in his three
last novels, may be said to have drawn
three sides of the modern woman. In
"The Opening Door" the heroine found
out way to serve "the cause" when
she discovered the role of militant suf-
fragist was not for her; in ''The Blind
Spot" rich New York girl became
interested in schemes for civic better
ment, and in his last novel, 1.-THE Twin
Sisters the girl shows that she cares
for other things as well.
II want to be petted and battered"
she says, "and put upon little pedes-
al. I want to be told that am pref
Y and that ! inspire my man to do
whatever 1t is he does better than he
did it before. want-children
But there's something more-some-
thing that has been slowly developing
in US women through the long climb
upward FROM saTagery. We've grown
another want-at least, ! think we
have. We've grown 4 desire to us0.
