An Illuminating Postcard.

A young girl OF plebeian ancestry
achieved fame as an actress in Lon
don. Feeling the necessity, however,
Of a rest from her labors, she wrote to
her uncle, a police sergeant of coun-
try village, asking him if she might
come and stay with him to recuperate.
She ended her note: please send P.
G. to say if / may come"
A few days later her landlady rushed
upstairs with an awestricken coun-
tenance-a policeman wanted her! The
girl descended with an ominous feel
ing at her heart, says London Tit-Bits.
"If you please, miss" said the stolid
being who confronted her, cycling her
with stern disapproval, tim the P. G.

A New Lease.

Leather belts are acquiring a new
lease of life, black patent leather in
various widths being used with many
of the modish Bingham and ehambray
and other tub frocks. and wide soft
crush belts of leather and of fabrics
being extremely modish. These wide
crush belts are made in both suede
and smooth finish leather and III many
colors, gray and beige and green and
white and old red having especial pop
ularfty. The very narrow belt of
leather has its vogue, too, and when
one turns from all-leather belts to
belts and girdles in which. leather plays
a secondary part or none at all there
is no end to the variety.

be required for bodice and cuffs and
four yards of any preferred material
SO inches wide for the gown proper.
When considering the cost of a dress
or blouse on which embroidery is to
appear as the trimming-if expense is
matter of moment-beads must be
omitted. Beads have advanced in price
from 100 to 400 per cent during the
%ast few months, according to type of
Neads selected-that is, steel, chalk,
glass, etc. Latest reports indicate their
cost is still going up.
However, fortunately, one can strug-
gle along very well without bead en-
broidery.
Embroidery will undoubtedly be
used, to a great extent as a trimming
during the fall and winter season, but
various braids are also favored, and
pipings in contrasting color or fabric
are being used.

DoIn1an Sleeves

The dolman sleeve in the new top
coats are their peculiar new style fea-
ture. They are not exactly the dol
man shape of old-time wraps, but
there is much of the same peculiar
contour, modernized. These sleeves
start from very large armholes, placed
low in capelike garment. Large at
the top, they become much smaller.
Sometimes they have a loose fur cuff,
sometimes one gathered with a sort of
large ruffle below.

A Finished Job.

A sutton objected because his bride

the marriage broker. Suppose you
marry a woman whose legs are sound

You are not sure from day TO day that
she will not fall down and break a
leg and then be lame for the rest of
her life. Just consider the pain, the
excitement and the doctors bills. But
If you marry this one nothing can hap

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

If you are very tired take a bath in
soda water.
Gray hair should always be sham
pooed with white soap, as another kind
is liable to leave the hair yellow.
A little bicarbonate of soda added to
the water in your bath will absolutely
kill the odor of perspiration.
For instant relief in case of cramps
in limbs, dip hand in cold water and
run under the knee of cramped limb.
