Here is a skating set that will add
one more fascination to that whole
some and fashionable sport. Japan
had a hand in its making, for it is dec
grated with hand-painted ornaments
that are specimens of the beautiful
handicraft of that hand-crafty people.
and with applique of light green satin
bordered with silver threads. If this
was not woven in Japan it's design GER
tainly originated there.
The cap and scarf are made of satin
In a very soft rose color, to begin with.
AT the ends of the scarf and In front
of the cap there are emplacements of
brocade as shown in the picture. On
h scarf ends the brocade is sewed
along the edges to the scarf with long
stitches of heavy, gray angora yarn.
Then the entire surface of the scarf Is
covered with parallel rows of these
long stitches. They veil the rose color
with a mist of gray, because of the
~fuzziness of the yarn, and the effect
is beautiful.
The scarf is about two yards long
and in the neighborhood of seven
inches wide, wrapped about the neck
SO that the novel hand-painted orna-
ment comes in front. 1t is made of sew
eral small oblongs of celluloid appar-
emily, In graduated sizes, and one
posed Owe the other. They are very
much like the r~ose-colored satin in
shade, and the uppermost oblong has
a m~eaningful and weird looking pic
ture painted on it in several colors.
1t might be a landscape-upside down
Or a scrap of sky and clouds. What

ever it is, the smiling japanese shop
keeper assures our honorable stupid
ity that it is good luck to wear such
an ornament. When 1t Is to be found
on a skating set like that shown here,
there is no doubt that he speaks the
truth.
The cap fastens with a chin strap
that extends from side to side, made of
the satin and angora. 1t is sewed to
the inside of the cap on one side and
fastens with a strap fastener on the
other. The satin is caught up at the
front of the cap revealing the green
brocade, and held to place by two Of
those lucky ornaments. Both strap
and cap are lined with the soft rose
colored satin.

"What is the matter with the
lworld2" asked DR.. Charles Gilbert Da-
Wis, noted surgeon of Chicago, in a
ltAought-arresting article in the Hi
'nois Issue. His answer Is, "a thou
sand years of alcoholic s%aturation."
"All life should evolute," he Y
alcohol produces evolution. Take the
largest and finest breed of dogs-the
Great Dane, for example-and for
three or four generations feed them
daily a little alcohol and what is the
result? What was previously a large,
noble animal will deteriorate into a
swapping, snarling, fighting, almost
hairless. Insignificant little eur. And
yet we feed men on this lethal poison
for thousands of years and then won
der why we have disease, pestilence,
insanity and war.
'In this dawn of the twentieth CEN
fury it may be tr%uthfully affirmed that
the aggressive war brain is the brain
that directly, or indirectly through he
lredity, has been poisoned by alcohol.
The alcoholic brain cannot evolve
those emotions of the human soul that
make for peace. We may talk peace,
1egislate for peace, and make peace
treaties, but wars will never cease till
the brain is freed from the corroding
effects of alcohol.
zone thousand years from now the
historian will record the events Of to-
day and classify them under the gen.
eral heading, The Age of Alcohol 1t
will be pathetic but interesting lit

THE woRklNeMAN,s BURDEN.

Every workingman carries on his
back a n~onproducer. The laborer
who pays his bills is charged a higher
price to cover the loss the storekeeper
sustains by failure of the drinking
man to pay what he owes. When
crime is committed or a family impov-
erished by the drink-debauchery of its
natural support, the cost appears on
the tax bill of the man who labors.
Jobs are made by the consumption
Of products, and if money is not spent
for booze, it will be spent for other
things which must be produced by
labor.-From the Cyclopedia of Tenn
perance.

A combination of ~smooth-faced tan
or s~and-colored cloth with fine Hudson
seal, removes some of the difficulties
which lie in the path of the designers
of coats. When the task is to achieve
a handsome coat for general wear the
designer knows to start with that no
color is a better choice than tan, and
no fur looks better with it than seal,
they belong to n another.
Having this assurance as to pleas
ing color, the creator of new coats
must show his ability, by original
methods of cutting and deft use of
new style features, in lines and in de-
tails of finishing. Whoever planned
the coat pictured here betrays a mas
terful hand IN these particulars. The
coat is plain and full, with fashionable
straight lines. It's fullness is clever
ly managed by the insertion of three
plaits at each side, back of the pock-
cts. They are hardly to be noticed.

ALCOHOL INCREASES FATIGUE.

Fatigue is due to the action up
nerve endings and nerve cells of pois-
onous products formed within the
body as the result of muscular me-
tabolism. For a fatigued person to
add to his blood, unless in minute
doses, another poison in the form of
alcohol, is only to make matters
worse rather than better. What are
required are longer periods of rest

Chenille AppIiqued on scarfs.

Among the new scarfsr ushered In by
the cold weather are some models Of
Italian silk, self striped.
They are cut long and about ten
inches wide, and made of a double
thickness of silk.
One scarf of bright green is en-
broidered at the ends In a conventional
design is self-colored silk floss that

Plain coat sleeves rely upon their
cuffs for the stamp of originality.
These are merely straps whose ways
are devious. but never asunder. They
are placed side by side: the career Of
each ended by an memorable bone but
tor and a buttonhole that holds them
fast. These are the mannerisms of
an exceptionally clever performer, and
they are also the delight of a Guilt
waited taste in apparel.

DR., BLACKWELL BUYS
COUNTRY CLUB PLACE
Physician Proposes to Convert Pretty
Property INTO q Summer
Home.

DR.. o. G. Blackwell yesterday pur-
chased the clubhouse and grounds OF
the Jefferson Country club, tract
of about 20 acres, on the Main street
pike, about three miles beyond the
city limits. The consideration was
not made public.
DR.. Blackwell announced that he
will make necessary changes and i'm
provements to the property, which he
will use as a summer home for his
family. Officers of the club have
stated that for some time past there
has been considerable trespassing
upon the property, by hunters AMI
fishermen, and that despite their eff
forts to prevent this, the property has
been damaged by the trespassers,
especially in the frequent SEEMING in
the lake on the tract, which the club
had stocked with fish. DR.. Blackwell
has already taken steps to prevent
further trespassing and to prosecute
trespassers.
The Jefferson Country club pur-
chased the property about five years
ago, and had greatly improved it,
making it most comfortable club
quarters, in delightful surroundings.
Changed conditions, and indispositio1,
for various reasons, or the part of
many members to use the clubhouse,

Women of the city who are men,
bers of the various clubs, and women
of the city who are not club members,

home gardens, are displaying unusual
interest in the ordinance now pend
ing before the city council, which will
prohibit the roaming at large of chick

come up for final action at the meeting
Of the council Monday night.
The ordinance was introduced at the

cussion, if any is offered, it will likely
be given it's third reading and be
adopted. This is the indication at

on his premises, without recourse by
the owner of the fowls.
The ordinance increasing the salar-
les of members of the police depart
ment SO per man will be introduced
at the meeting Monday night, and this
also is expected to be passed without
delay by suspension of the rules. The
ordinance committee has been in
structed to prepare the ordinance, and
it is understood that it has already
been drawn and is ready for the coun'
ellis action.

nrOnOsed organization of a street paw
ing district, for putting down pave(
streets, curbs and cutters in thu
streets between State and Tennessee
and Twelfth and Eighteenth avenues
will be given a hearing at the council
meeting Monday night, and if thu
council so decides, the petition nov
before that body will be declares
TO have been signed by majority o
the owners of property. and the forma
organization Of the district will b
perfected. The proposed district /

BEST THEATRE.

Today-Anita Stewart in 1.-THE
Glory of Yolando" for the benefit of
the Young Ladies society of the First
Presbyterian church.
In the first part of the story, Miss
Stewart is seen as Russian peasant
girl and even the rough and ready
costume of the country folk with the
heavy gray skirt and red velvet jacket
frightened by homespun apron fails
to detract from her sweet beauty.
But when she becomes the little
lady who scores success as the
premiere danseuse her costumes are
wonderful to behold, and she seems
a vision from another world. One
dance frock is delicate pink satin
with an entire overdress Of blue tul.s
while the waist is noted by band Of
narrow pink vilvet ribbon and tiny
bow. This frock has no sleeves,
simply tullc ruffles which fall from
the tatin shoulder strars.
