Proves Pasteur's Theory.

To prove his germ theory, Pasteur,
when he was twenty-six years OF age,
"A years ago, sterilized veal broth In
glass tubes and then. sealed the tubes.
From time to time some Of the tubes
were opened, and 1t appeared that by
exposure contamination occurred and
the broth decomposed. But some of
the bottles remained unopened and
the broth in these, examined on his
one hundredth birthday, proved as
clear and perfect as when originally
sealed In 1S4S.
1t is asserted by the first American
pupil OF Pasteur. now In Philadelphia,
TO whom the great scientist gave one
of the sealed tubes. that the expert
ment demonstrates the truth of the en-
tire theory, that decomposition and
disease are due to the action Of mi

You may not believe that these silks

you have only to examine the newer

convinced that manners and customs
in this direction have changed very
materially. They have every appear

that is, in stability of texture and in

lstrictions of your purse-oh, that Is
another matter, indeed!
1t has often been said, observes a
fashion writer in the New York Times,
that the woman with one frock can be
as well dressed us the with
ten. And IL is astonishing how really
well this theory works out when the
with n has the head and
the taste and the common sense TO
manage hers with cleverness. She is
no boon to the dressmakers of the
land, but she is a deal Of satisfaction
to herself. She has eliminated a wom-
ans greatest source of worry and an
%noyance.
At this time OF the year it Is per-
fectly possible to apply ones mind so
thoroughly and successfully To the mat

months ones intelligence need not
touch the subject seriously again

than women generally suppose, and the

The Dress for Every Occasion.
1t can be done, you know. A dress
that will be possible for the majority
of occasions In the usual life is not at
all hard 10 conceive nor TO accomplish.
The happers are getting there with
sport suits. They wear them every.

no party too formal to set them off.
They love themselves In these clothes
and they cling to them.
Now, for those who are a little NOR.

cedure is impossible. but they can nc
complish the same purpose in another

Then there is the more or less for

ly fashionable form of dressing, and,
when II Is made simply enough, II can
serve a vast number OF purposes with

most p~urposeful things that a woman
can purchase this season. II Is With
