IpHIGENIA.

Iphigenia was the daughter Of
'Agamemmon, leader of the Greek
forces against Troy, and of Glytennes-
ira Then the Greeks ,on their way
to the Trojan war, were detained at
Aulis by adverse winds, they were told
by an oracle that Iphigenia must be
sacrificed to appease Diana, who was
incensed against Agamemnon for kill
ing one of her stays. The father was
horrorstruck, and commanded that
the forces be disbanded. His gener-
ais, howeer, interfered, and Agamem-
non at last consented to the sacrifice.
The Greeks sent for Iphigenia, pre-
tending to her mother that she was to
be given in marriage to Achilles.
When Iphigenia arrived at .Aulis she
saw the preparations for the sacri-
flee and realized that her doom was
at hand. She implored the protec-
ton Of her father, but her beseeching
was in vain. Ca1chas, the Grecfan
priest, took the knife and was about
to strike the fatal blow when Diana
relented. The body of Iphigenia
suddenly disappeared and in it's place
on the altar there appeared a goat OF
uncommon size and beauty. The
Greeks, astonished at this supernatur-
al happening, rejoiced in the saving
of their leaders beautiful daughter
The wind suddenly changed in theil
favor and they set sail from Au1is.

ToDAYs ANNIVERSARIES.

It was on Oct 1, 1858, that the first
mention of the use e tea in England
was contained in al advertisement
printed In the Merourius PoEhcus.
The advertisement read as follows:
That excellent, and 1y all physicians
approved, China drink, called by the
Chineans Toha, by o5her nations Tay,
alias Tee, is sold at tie Sultaness CUT
fee House, in Sweeting's Rents, by the
Royal Exchange, 1onion. Since then
tea has become the rational beverage
of the English and il included in the
ration of the soldiers at the front Dr.
Johnson declared that tea was first
imported into Englard from Holland,
in 1866, but this advertisement proves
that he was mistaken for it appeared
eight years before that time In 1850
Pepys records that lie consumed his
first cup of 'the China drink" Short
ly after the appearance OF the adver-
tisernent above referred to, anothe Ell
dealer issued broadsneet in which he
praised tea as preserving perfect
health until extreme old age" and
added that it "makah the body ac-
tive and lusty;" ''helpeth the head
ache, giddiness and heaviness there.
of, removeth the distractions of the
spleen, taketh away the difficulty Of
breathing and is good against lassi
tude, preventing sleeIiness in general
SO that, without trouble, whole nights
may be spent in study without hur
to the body" Many other virtues
were claimed for tea, and it was rec
commended as useful IN nearly all all
ments.

Honors are even between graceful
lines and velvet-they hold. first place
and reign for this season. First if all
a hat must be graceful; it may be
large or small, soft or straight
brimmed, high crowned or not, but its
lines must be aIluring. A dearth of
trimming was forgiven in early mod
els and almost forgetten-we were
SO carried away by the beauty of their
lines.
Velvet, plain and panne, came in
with the first hats of the new season
and will remain until winter is gone.
Flowers are beginning to blossom on
them as the time for the snow to fly
draws near. Fur, in bands, with flow
ers or ribbon ornaments. has settled
itself for definite residence on hats
for midwinter. Two favorites, among
many beautiful shapes, are shown
here one of them harboring three rib
bon roses and the other rejoicing In
a ribbon sash and band Of fur.

A few of the new coats and. suits for
fall have collars that are amplified in
to capes or caps that are convertible
into collars, whichever way you take
them. In cold weather they look and
are comfortable, with collars brought
high up about the neck like muffler,
and the soft surface of fashionable
weaves in wool fabrics is especially
well adapted to them. The suit pic
tured is of wool velours. The coat Is
long and shaped about the waist with
parallel tucks. It has large pockets
at each side and a skirt that hangs
straight with four deep plaits provid-
ing a comfortable width at the hem.

yards 44-inch material
The cutting guide provides for the
cutting Of the coat from material SO
Inches wide, as many home dress
makers at this season will be using
piQue and similar materials for the
development of the coat. Both the
back and front Jokes, with the cape
and back Of the coat are laid on the
lengthW1se fold of material. Now,
the material opposite the sections
= just named may be utilized for the
placing Of the collar, pocket and belt.
The collar and pocket are so ar
ranged that the large 20" perfora-
lions rest on a lengthwise thread,
while the straight edge Of the belt
rests on the asavRge OF material The
tour sections remaining unplaced will
Just cover the material left and each
is so laid ON the goods that the large
80" perforatioas rest on a length
wise thread.
If the coat is desired in single
breasted effect, cut off the front edges
Of the front and front yoke along
small co. perforations.
The collar, cape and cuffs should
be embroidered before they are cut.

The following information Is given
out today from the headquarters of
the committee of food supply of the
Connecticut State Council of De-
Tense:
= It may seem absurd to many to read
directions for boiling potatoes, but
authorities in food tell us that often
seven per cent. of the nutrients of
potatoes is lost during this method
of cooking. BY careless peehng and
soaking, this loss may even be in
creased to 20 per cent This is an
unnecessary loss of food and one that
can be easily corrected.
