Tbe American people, and especially the amateur psychologists, are very much excited over tbe performances of Husapln rnlladlno, tbe famous itul Ian spirit medium wbo recently arrived In New York city.

Her Bklu Is lightly pitted as wltb on old attack of smallpox, tier large yellow ish brown eyes are (limy and dead; tbey never seem to bold au expression. Tula Is a description ot the medium given by a person wbo attended one of ber seances.

She has now a sec ond busband, a handsome young Ital ian of tweuty-five. of whom sbe seems very proud. How did Mme. I'alladluo come to know that sbe was "gifted?" Sbe was cleaning up ber father's bouse one morning many years ago she Is Dow Bfty-lhree when sbe saw a chair moving around apparently of Its own accord.

Now and tben, an acquaintance whis pered, sbe used this gift In ber house hold work, especially at tbe spring and fall cleanings. Tben sbe gave little exhibitions to friends, and after tbat professional "mediums" took ber up In 1872 Blgnor Damlaoai. an ardent spiritist, began to "develop" ner, keeping Her under bis tutelage for ten years.

When sbe was quite a young wom an Mme. Palladlno was waked up one night by a shade wblt-u stood near by. "la tbat my father?" sbe quotes her self as asking. Two knocks said "No." Sbe asked it it was her mother, and again there came two knocks, i "Is it, tben, my good guide whom 1 call John?" sbe asked, and three knocks on tbe side of tbe bed said it was truly John. lime. Palladlno when asked If all spirits used the same code answered that all mediums do. Tbe rode, sbe said, is as follows: Two knocks mean "No," three kuocks "Yes," Ave knock "Torn off tbe light" aud seven kuocks Call off tbe seam." Dr. J.

If people wbo beat knocks would but ask questions, be says, they might get in touch with an other world in . a most commonplace sort of way. " - Mme. Palladlno's greatest stunt . Is making a table rise unaided by some occult means a foot from tbe floor. Directly under the full light of a six teen candle power electric lamp, with two men holding ber feet and knees and wltb ber hands In plain view a foot above tbe table. Rlgnora Palladlno recently caused It to rise again and again three limes" with all the feet clear of tbe floor.

One piece combination undergar ments may not be novel, but tbey are Ot especial value at tbe present mo ment, when tbe slender effect Is the, goal after which every woman Is striv ing, for any extra material beneutb tbe carefully fitted gown Is likely to spoil tbe otherwise perfect effect Many women have been Inclined to regard tbe princess slip or foundation dress as somewhat of a needless extrava gance, but tbe exigencies of prevail liHTj Iw T VlVjfjl A PltlNCESS SLIP lng fashion bave made tbem readjust their Ideas ou this subject Tbe woman, therefore, wbo wishes to obtolu the best results in ber dress ing will flud tbls garment ot uo small Importance aud a matter of such cou veulence that once worn, she will noi be able to do without it Tbe useful ness ot tbls princess slip is to avoid tbe fullness and gathers which occur at tbe waist when a separate skirt and camisole are . worn and to clotbe tbe hips without any unnecessary mate rial. Tbe bottom ot tbe skirt may be full, but tbe top must be gored out until tbe garment tits perfectly. Tbe model pictured here is carefully shaped to tbe figure by seams both back and front, aud tbe opening, wblcb comes at tbe back, must be fastened with snaps, books or buttons. If tbe latter method Is adopted, be careful to bave small buttous and buttouboles It Is unnecessary to bave large but tons, which only make tbe garment look clumsy. Tbe combination slip may be devel oped In one of tbe lightweight silks or taffetas, lace ' edging serving as trimming on tbe waist Tbe Bklrt Is constructed so tbat tbe flouuee la de tachable, a point wblcb Increases tbe utility ot tbe garment, as a change of flounces Is easily possible. If tbe flounce is made ot tbe founda tion material, seven and three-quarter yards of twenty-seven Inch wldtb will be needed. If silk Is not desired, lawn or ualnsook will give very dainty re sults. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. If you want white bands do not de pend too much on cream and lotions. Redness ot tbe bands, like redness ot tbe nose, is often caused by poor cir culation. . , 'Delicate women who fear catching cold from having tbe hair shampooed In winter should buy a good tonic, whlcb dissolves tbe dust and dandrufl tbat are bound to accumulate without great care.

Nov Process Makes Perfect Cleansing . Possible. Chamois gloves will be widely worn throughout tbe winter, and all wbo favor these durable gloves will be pleased to know tbut tbe manufactur ers bave been able to prepare a cha mois glove tbat is boilable. Although it is said tbat tbe kid may be actually boiled without III results, tbe wiser plan will be to do the cleansing with hot water If necessary aud avoid boil- ' lng. I These gloves are made to slip over j tbe band aud are about six button 1 length. A small strip of elastic at the ; wrist on the front of the hand Is the ' means of giving a snug fit there. The j elastic Is guaranteed washable also There are plain chamois gloves for use with severely tailored suits In the morning nnd nattier designs for after noon of Important day occasions. One can choose from white and yel low (natural chamolsi. The finer grade of chamois gloves Is short closing with two pearl buttons A novelty Is a heavy suede glove. This should be popular, as this kind of kid has a tendency to make the hand look small, and. with the Improvements In manufacture. It Is superior in wear ing qualities to tbe old time suede Glnce kid is -preferred for evenlnu in sixteen and twenty buttou leugtns. although suede, too. will be used. The latter is a little less expensive. Tbe newest colorings are pale yellow, ocber. primrose, banana, maize and white. There are a few delicate col ors kept In stock, but It Is uot expect ed there will be much demand for tbem except to match costumes. As the fashionable colors are few, so are tbe designs, there being uo deco ration of any kind upon tbe newest gloves. The kid certainly is of the finest texture, but tbe only ornamentations are the plainly stitched back and pearl buttons for closing. Embroideries and fancy stitching are entirely absent Tbe new castor gloves for winter In clude tbe usual shades gray, taupe and mode tones. Tbey are all abort, being a glove for bard wear. There Is a heavy dogskin tbat closes wltb one clasp tbat Is both smart look ing and practical. Pique may be bought In all the shades seen In the castor gloves, as well as white and the pale yellow tones. Black will probably be worn later on, but for tbe preseut there Is no demand for tbls bue except by tbose wearing mourning. Suede gloves are always worn for first mourning. In second or slight mourning It Is a question of choice whether glace or suede kid is used. HOME FOR SICK CHILDREN. Cleveland Cottage at Lskewood Turned Into Tuberculosis Preventorium. Tbe old G rover Cleveland cottage at Lskewood. N. J..' has been converted Into what Is called a tuberculosis "pre ventorium" for children, and. unknown to tbe outside world, It bus been run ning as an experiment alnce last July. It is only recently, however, tbat It was decided to make tbe Institution permanent and to enlarge Its scope. Tbe Institution bas been established to give treatment to children 'of tbe tenements who bave been Infected wltb tuberculosis and to restore tbem to health by taking bold of tbe disease In its earliest stages. . Tbe work has been made possible largely by tbe gen erosity of .Nathan Straus, who made a gift for tbe purpose of the old Cleve- w . rrrssk, I7f UW rM liixrTriirssfe ,,,,9-tMvvaev v WHERI THH SANIIAKIl'M 18 B0C8-D. land cottage, which he owned and wblcb for years the late president rented. Tbe cottage stands In tbe pines and Is surrounded by eight acres ot land. Besides giving tbe cottage. Mr. Straus donated a majority ot stock in tbe Lakewisid hotel. In which lie has been Interested, the proceeds from wblcb will be applied ro the running expenses of I lie preventorium. Steps to open the Cleveland cottage were begun last May. when Mr. Straus told a group of persons Interested thai be would aid In tbe tight ou tubercu losis. Under tbe iiersoiinl direction of Mrs. Cleveland tbe house was slightly remodeled, the porch being arranged so tbat six beds could be put upon it, while fourteen beds were put in tbe Interior. These quarters were set apart for girls, accommodations for twenty boys being provided In an open air camp a hundred feet long near the cottage. It Is the Idea of the preventorium f give such speedy relief that tbe pa tients may be turned away cured after four months or so of treatment. While tbe Institution is uow cramped for space. It Is hoped thnt by next summer sufficient funds will have been receiv ed to permit enlarging the ao-uuii" datlons so as to treat 100 patk'nls one time. . ' Auctiofl ! Auction-'I W.

Party to Be Given te Bride of a Few Weeks. I In these strenuous times, in tbls ac tive, wide awake, pleasure loving world of ours, there Is always more or less entertaining for a bride to be, whether It be on an elaborate scale or a more Informal plane. From tbe day a girl announces ber engagement ber social hours are filled wltb nil manner of en tertainments in Her honor. There are dinners and luncheons, teas and card parties, dances and box parties and, of course, "showers" of every descrip tionlingerie, table and bed linen, tow el, picture, kitchen utensil and even a rug shower, at wblcb the guests club bed together In threes and fours and gave tbe lucky bride elect a number of handsome and expensive rugs. But what will doubtless prove tbe most original and unique shower of tbem all Is to be given In tbe near fu ture for a young matron a bride of a few weeks wbo Is now returning from her honeymoon Journey. The shower is to be given In ber own borne, a perfectly brand new bouse In tbe country, wblcb Is furnished most tastefully and artistically wltb tbe gifts of friends. There are linen press es filled wltb complete sets of every thing a young housewife would ever need, pictures hung, rugs and furni ture arranged, a sideboard tilled with table linen and - embroidered center pieces and topped with shining silver and sparkling crystal, and In tbe kitch en Is an enviable array of cooking utensils and other necessities. There are even potted plants throughout tbe bouse, from tee tall palms in tbe null to tbe scarlet geraniums in lie bronn kitchen window sills And this sbower. wblcb Is for tin girls and men alike aud whicb Is the subject of sd much merry speculation, la to be a grocery sbower. Hy careful planning aud comparison It Is assured that there will be.no duplicating ami nothing will be forgotten. , Invitations have been , issued, and these consist ot tbe endless variety oi small tags and advertisements which any grocer bas In abundance, small sacka of Hour, cakes ot soap, packages ot breakfast food and wafers, ail oi cardboard, wltb tbe Invitation done in surveyor's lettering on tbe oiaok side. , it bas been arranged tbat tbe gro ceries shall be carried to me bride's borne In baskets ranging In size tnm a large market bumper to the smallest size tbat can be conveniently used tu tbe kitchen.

In buying table linen be careful to get a piece that Is not full of knots, as It Is very apt to wear Into boles at tbose places. Instead of using beer or ale in cook ing Welsh rabbit try adding tomato Juice In tbe same way. Tbe add cuts the cbeese taste to whlcb some people object. Another pleasing variation for scrambled eggs Is to stir in a table spoonful of chopped mushrooms and a tablespoonful ot parsley just before serving. A thrifty young housekeeper who was much distressed to find ber mat ting bad faded treated It wltb an oak stain of floor varnish and was delight ed with tbe result Sliver which bas become blackened from standing a long time Is a closet should first be placed for a few min utes In boiling water In whicb a lump or two of washing soda bave been dis solved. Later clean wltb a good silver pollsb. Tbe best scrambled eggs are those that are done In a chafing dish or else are so carefully watched that tbey are taken off tbe fire before tbey bave stiffened. A few tnblespmmfuls nf cream added just at the last is a great Improvement. The Unmade Christmas Gift It bas grown to be quite a fad to pre sent the unmade gift upon returning from a toreigu country or ev.u at Christmas time. So graciously bas tbls been received tbat it is being tried more frequently eveu among loss Inti mate friends. Perhaps the first use of some strip of silk or embroidered materials as yet uncompleted -not made into a finished article - was the giving nt a length of eastern fabric, rare In this country, by tbose returning from a distant port or wbo were In tom b with some importer of exclusive studs. Ileal laces next rame into play, more frequently when some rare piece was obtainable, but now the bablt Is in dulged In quite freely, and it frequent ly solves the difficult problem ot the Christmas gift between women friends or from one wuo feel herself lucapn ble oi chooslu. for the clever woman wbo so readhy can incorporate the unmade lace.

Laughter seems to be a specialized form of either the scream of a star tled or Injured animal or the cry ofl triumph common to many beasts oil prey. In children the cry of terror and the shout of laughter often shade Into each other, and the young child escaping from pursuit will scream with laughter or fear, according to his chances of escape. Some unexpected event that causes slight alarm short of actual terror Is the commonest cause of children's laughter, but In adults! some sudden event tbat gives a sensa tion of triumph over others bas much more Influence. Really clever jokes seldom cause laughter, and It has been pointed out that a man chasing bis hat will produce laughter far more hearty in character than the best ef forts of the cleverest wit. The sight of ill fortune in another causes by contrast a feeling of triumph in our selves. The ticklish parts of the body are for the most pnrt the sites of im portant blood vessels, and the laughter! produced in children by tickling Is even more closely allied to the cry of pain. i The Cuckoo. Where does the cuckoo lay Its eggs? What Is Its staple diet? What course does It take In Its autumn migration when It returns to its African haunts? These are questions thnt await satis factory answers. Cntll It was found that the cuckoo laid Its egg on the ground and subsequently carried It In Its bill to a neighboring nest It was supposed that the bird fed largely on the eggs of smaller birds. This fallacy bas been disproved, Probably In the whole range of British birds there Is no other that can boast such curloos domestic traits as the enckoo. It makes no nest, does not attend to Incubation duties and rears no young and appar ently never sees the bird that Is batch- -ed from the egg that It surreptitiously places In tbe nest of some smaller bird.
