AUTUMN
BY d. C. PEATTIE.

The rains of Autumn work no
miracles like the showers of Spring.
No windf1ower blows when the storm is
over, nor crocus on the lawn. Only
the asters look more sodden, and any
leaves that linger still upon the trees
are likely to be brought down in the
last wild rains. They fall upon the
forest floor quite unremarked, but in
the city streets they bring the foliage
of elm and linden, maple and poplar,
down to the sidewalks, to lie there In
wet and unbeautiful decay. The house
holder takes his broom and. with a
rather surprising amount Of difnculty,
he sweeps them away.
If he pauSes for a little to look at
the sidewalk after he has swept away
the clinging, wet leaves, he may see
something that will surprise him. He
may find that on the sidewalk has
been etched in sepia the tracery of the
leaf-not only, its outline, perhaps, but
sometimes also all the intricacies of
the veins. Tiny bits OF acids in the
leaf have been released by the rain,
and have stained the sidewalk. In
cidentally, the moral of this is that.
though well decayed leaves enrich the
garden, fresh leaves are acid and may
sour the garden.
It is not of this that I am always
reminded, but Of fossils, rather, for, in
a f1eeting and miniature way, the leaf
Of the season that Is dead and will
never come again endeavored to leave
visible impress Of its day of glory.
I always used to think of fossil botany
as subject fit only for fossil botanists
the dullest subject in the world. With
time I have learned to retract that
judgment. There is a strange and ex-
citing fascination in trying to piece to-
gether the fossil record Of forests that
vanished before the creeping glaciers
icy breath-groves wherein, perhaps,
sang birds that we shall never see.
A fossil leaf was once q living thing,
filmy and waving, and green, and the
sunlight of 100000 years ago beat
on it, shone through it, drew water
from it, turned It's factory wheels
where food Is manufactured in the
green tissues. In those days, too, they
had the linden and the elm, the maple
and the poplar. But there were giants
in the earth in those days, for the red
woods of California grew around the
Northern world.

Women who are fond of needlework
once more have the opportunity to do
fire embroidery for dress accessories.
A notable feature of the incoming mode
is the addition of lingerie touches to
tailored frocks.
Whereas in the recent past the adj
dition Of washable collar and cuffs and
jabots to wooden dresses was not in
order, this Fall it is quite the thing,
and sets the stamp Of 1880 on the
wardrobe.
This accenting of femininity in
women's dress also calls for the most
ing of the needle. This may be the
crochet needle as well as the embroid-
cry needle, for the addition of Irish
crochet foE edgings and inserted motifs
is called for.
A pattern for. filet or cross stitch
such as was offered last week presents
conventional floral border and is suit
able.
A last years dress, or one that has
served several seasons, may be brought
up to date In at least one respect by
the addition of the accessories men,
toned. 1t is surprising how a dress
will respond to such touches. 1t will
also have the appearance of a new
frock to those who have seen it before.
If the dye pot is resorted to before the
accessories are added and the color of
the dress itself altered, be it ever so
little, the effect is made even newer.
White, cream color and ecru are the
most accepted colors for the washable
accessories. They are, for the most
part, developed along rather conserva-
tive lines in their ornamentation.

Unusual Baths.

Would you benefit If you took GER
tain kinds of health and beauty baths?
Lots of the famous cures of Europe are
nothing but a series Of baths, both ex-
ternal and internal, combined with an
unusual amount of water drinking.
In many Of the places the water con-
tainS sulphur which Is o marvellous
curative. At Plombiere those who come
for a cure are given internal baths
with the local water. Most cure places
are to counterfeit acidity, govt, rheu-
matism and the many troubles that
come from bad eating.
If you're nervous and run down, I
would advise you to take a daily hot
salt bath. You can do this by purchas-
ing cheap bags of sea salt and throw
ing big handfuls into the hot water
until it actually tastes salty. Soak In
this for at least 10 minutes.
For rheumatism, the following bath
before bedtime is very beneficial: Green
soap, 100 grammeS; oil Of turpentine,
so grammes. This should be stirred to-
gether in jug and added to a hot bath.
AS soon as its warmth penetrates the
body there will be less pain. You
should stay in it until you feel slightly
prickly sensation in about 10 or Is min
utes and then go to bed. Some sort of
aromatic bath is very good for ia
tigue, but as these mixtures are very
expensive, I'd advise a hot bath. Fol-
low this by spraying the whole body
with toilet water or aromatic vinegar,

They arrived at the station just as
the train came in sight.
Mr.. Brown had such great belief in
his wifeS Inner voice" that he always
followed 1t when its dictumS related to
himself. This seems to have shown
wisdom, for he was regarded as the
ablest American sculptor of his day.
Nothing which w. j. Stillman noted
in reference to Mrs. Brown possesses
the fascination of the adventure which
his friend Ruskin reported to him while
they were spending a Summer In Swift
Zerland.
1t was while Ruskin had been So
journing in the Valley of Chamonix
that his guide had told him of a ghost
there that could only be seen by chill
dren.
According TO the guide, the children
in the Autumn often came upon a
woman raking dead leaves.
THE children say" said the man,
that when the woman locks up at
them they see only q skull instead Of
a face"
Ruskin's curiosity was piqued by this
story. Time did not press. He was
merely sketching and idiing. He re-
solved to see II there could be any
truth In it.
He had q boy from a neighboring
valley, who knew nothing of the story,
brought to him. and giving the child
some plausible service to perform,
wandered Off with him to the scene Of
the reported ghostly visitations.
What lonely place!" said Ruskin
There is no one here but ourselves"
yes, there is replied the boy, point
ing his finger in certain direction
There is woman there raking
leaves"
Let us go nearer" suggested Ruskir.
They walked in the direction tne boy
had pointed. But in a little while the
youngster held back
Il don't want to go nearer" he said.
But why not?"
'The woman looked up at u.s." ex-
plained the other, half afraid. half en-
barssSed. "She has no eyes in her
head, only holes"
Ruskin went back to his lodgings.

woman.

Your Baby and Mine
BIZ MYkTLE MEYER ELDREp.

Mrs. L. o. D. writes: 81 heartily in
dorse your article on manners begin
ming, like charity, at home. We mace
1t a definite practice even before the
children could say thank you and
please to say 1t to them, and more i'm
portant still, to each other. At times 1
felt Shame-faced at this politeneSs. for
it was not wholly natural to me, but my
dear husbands kindness and constant
me and the children.
Now our Billy, who is years old.
'ays thank you and please without eff
fort and it is most gratifying expert
ence to hear him. / often hear him
say to the baby, who is 10 months old,
How do, I am glad to see you I am
happy that was convinced Of the
policy of teaching by example instead
Of precept.
"It is always alarming to see ones self
mirrored in ones children and to know
that ones unconscious acts have become
definite patterns. It is hard TO keep the
necessary stamina to be always on a
par with ones children. When I see
mothers work to the point of fatigue
and crossness on a relatively unimpor-
tant task and then come wholly UMPIRE
pared to solve o problem in discipline,
I wonder If 'apple-pie' order houses are
worth while.
II read your column Of mothers who
say in effect, I leave the housework in
order to give more attention to Baby,
and wonder why more women do not
put the proper emphasis on tasks.
Plainly, the children come first. for
in their rapid development each day is
an important milestone. What price
we'll starched clothes II 1t means that
there isn't moment to teach the child
some bit of knowledge!"
AnSwer-If we carry the spirit OF the
early portion of your interesting letter
to its logical conclusion, then we must
also Undue an orderly consciousness in
the children by the example of neat ana
orderly homes. 1t is true that many
mothers are slaves to their household
They have poor sense of relative val
ues, but to leave the house in helter-
skeiter condition and the dishes ul.-
washed, so as to sit down and teach the
child. as you express it, "a bit OF
knowledge" does not fill me with en-
thuSiasm.
If it is tiny baby, then the mother
may well forego some of the household
slavery in order that he should be kept
to a regular schedule. but even this can
be accomplished without sacrifice of or
derliness. 1t resolves itself into better
management. But We are talking of
the child past l year, presumably. wnu
is quick to initiate. and who picks up
his knowledge by seeing what we do
and helping us to do it. rather than by
being told what to do. So let us use the
same methods as In teaching manners.
If we show him that orderlineSS is I'M
portant and let him help us keep things
orderly, he will learn more than If we
lured him to our knees and tried ~
teach him.

While no reliable statistics are at
hand it may be safely said that one
might throw a stone in Washington and
hit at least half dozen residents who
have been abroad this year. And the
number is increasing.
Going abroad is no longer an adven-
ture. When grandmother was . girl
three weeks was rapid transit across
the sea and there was a gamblers
chance that the boat might never reach
port. No 10-piece orchestra provided
music on the ships terrace by moon
light. No spic and span junior Of
flcers tangoed exquiSitely with the fair,
II not always young and pulchritudi-
Gus, trails. The usual report of voy-
age was that heavy sea was running
and NAL de per prevailed among the
less stont-stomached passengers.
Sea illness still afflicts a goodly per
cent OF travellers, but there Is less boast
ing about it.
Numerous friends Of ours have spent
vacations abroad. Their reactions to
the charms of European cities have
been interesting. A general check-up
indicates that few missed the gay re-
sorts and restaurants, though they
failed to see places in which history
was made. A popular nocturnal
rendezvous lured them away from the
more substantial. worthwhile places
What impressed you most in Lon
don?" one was asked
'Oh, a very excellent restaurant in
the Strand" was the answer.
What interested you most in Mu-
nich?" another was asked.
Beer" was the reply,
What attracted you in Paris?" still
another was asked
Night life at Montmartre," was the
quick reply.
Some had spent an hour or two in the
Louvre or had snatched hasty glance
at the Tomb OF Napoleon, but the mem
ory would be soon effaced or rather
eclfpsed by the night life.
On the other hand, the serious visitor
10 this country is not distracted or di-
verified by such mediums of pleasure
A trip to Washington finds the tourist
seeking shrines of history. Do they not
see more than We do when we travel
abroad?
We may have our greedy tip-grabbers
but they are conspicuous for their
absence,
Debarking at a Mediterranean port
one evening. we sought a hotel. The
manager quoted rate Of so francs for
the night. Next morning when we ap-
peared to pay the bill we were told that
the amount was 100 francs, which also
included 10 per cent for fees. This, ot
course, Is usual in most European hotels
Most Americans, however. tip the servi-
tors besides 1t might be added that
the rate included a bus journey to tbs
station. For some reason the bus failed
to turn UP and it became necessary t.
procure a taxi at the last minute. Be-
fore entering the machine the driver
informed us that the fare would be
francs. To the writer's amaZement the
depot was just around the corner from
the hotel and the charge should not
have been more than a franc.

At Nice we engaged porter to carry
our luggage, two small handpieces, from
the station waiting room to the train
