For the Stout Women.—To appear to the best advantage the underskirt and corset cover must he fisted with the same exaot- ness as the onter garment, for no matter what paivs may be expended on the latter, the resulta caunos be satisfactory with ill- fisting undergarments. The corset cover shonld be of a fitted variety and boned in the front. It will he hester to finish it at the waist line with a circular peplum that fits closely over the bips. This will prevent its slipping up, and yet add very little bulk. The nuderskirt ean be either made from a gored pattern or from one having a oir- cular yoke and gored lower portion. It will be better with the presens style of dressing to have it olose at th: side front rather than the hack. The placket can he made down the left side of the front gore, The finish at the bottom should be simple and plain, with vot too great a width, so that it will make the skirt stand out, for as present everything is done to make them hang as soft and clinging as possible. The girl who hasn’s time to make jabote and frilis of lace, of her blouses should be happy to kuow that it is now the fashion to run extra wide ruching down the centre pleat from collar to bem. The Medici roching thas is sold in the shops for the top of satin stocks is the kind used. It is not cheap, hut it lasts a long time without having to be cleaned. There is a stiffened moaclin kind, with a selvedge edge which is good looking on the tailored satin or crepe de chine blouse, Either one or two rows may be used. It is hasted on the inside of the centre hox plent. If one does not care to spend a lit- tle extra money on it, a wide strip may be pus ou the left side of the pleat and a nar- rower strip down the right side. This gives the correct front trimming of the vew blouses. It is no longer fashionable to have the | pleating oi frills down the centre of the | same width on each side. The left one muss he considerably wider than the right | one. This wide ruching is also used at the wrists instead of ruffles. It ie easier to ad just, and keeps fresh longer than lace or net, Since scarabs have come into fashion with everything elee Egyptian, there are various ways of mounting them as orva- ments. The usual method is to make one into a pendant and sarround it with a gold clasp, or heavy turguoise. the Egyptian stone, Bat mount it as one will in this fashion, it isnot a becoming or dainty ornament, It should go with the turnover linen enl- lar, the tailored shirtwaist and the rough cloth soit.

There are many tiny ones used for the top of collar, bat these should Ge of carved gold or tiny pears bedded in gold. The high-waisted, one-piece frocks are here for children. They look quite goains and charming in them. It isan especially pretty style for wear at their evening par- ties, made nf messaline, soft cashmere, Chipa silk or silk mull. The skirt has the same lines nsed on grown-ups, It rans to the bust, and is almost straight over the waist. It fastens down the back under a box pleas, and the top part is made from good lace, fine em- broidery and sometimes a listle gold and silver thread.

There is a beautiful romance cen- nected with the Cherokee rose. A young Indian chief of thd Seminole tribe was taken prisoner by his ene- mies, the Cherokees, and doomed to torture, but fell so seriously ill that it became necessary to wait for his resto- ration to health before committing him to the fire, As he lay prostrated by disease in the cabin of the Cherokee warrior the daughter of the lattef, a young, dark faced maid, was his nurse. She fell in love with the young chieftain and, wishing to save his life, urged him to escape. But he would not do so unless she would fiee with him, She consented. Before they had gone far, impelled by regret at leaving home, she asked permission of her lover to return for the purpose of bearing awny some memento of it. So, retracing her footsteps, she broke a sprig from the white rose which climb- ed up the poles of her father's tent and, preserving it during her flight through the wilderness, planted it by the door of her new home in the land of the Seminoles. And from that day this beautiful! flower has always been known throughout the southern states by the name of the Cherokee rose. — Philadelphia North American. A SCRAP OF PAPER. Charred and Discarded, It Brought Wealth to a Poor Widow. Some years ago a poor widow kept a small shop in a Berlin suburb. One evening as she was serving a customer a workingman stepped into the shop and asked permission to light his pipe. Drawing a piece of paper from his pocket, he twisted it up and, after lighting his pipe, threw down the spill | and walked off with a word of thanks. {| When sweeping the floor the follow- | ing morning the widow took up the | charred paper out of idle curiosity and, ! unfolding it, saw that it was a lottery | ticket, only a portion of which had | been burned. She folded it up, put it i away in her pocket and had almost forgotten it, when the result of a large lottery drawing caught her eye in the paper. She then remembered the crumbled | ticket in her pocket, and on producing it found, to her amazement and de- light, that it had won a prize of $50.- ! i | 000. She claimed the prize, and, al- though she advertised widely for its original owner, with the intention of sharing it with him, she was left in undisturbed possession of her fortune. Exchange. i When John Was In Doubt. John was a coachman who took life most seriously and, being very particu- lar, would return frequently in the course of the day to make sure he un- derstood the orders that had been given him in the morning. One after- noon he presented himself before his mistress and began: “Mrs, T., Oi'm not quite certain ez to Mr. T's ordher this mornin’. Of was droivin’ him to the thrain, an’ he noticed that the horse was lame, an’ he told me to do some ' to him, mum: but, sure, Of don't know whither he told me to shoe him or to shoot him. Mebbe ye can till me.” A shoeing was evidently required, but the execution of the order and likewise of the horse was deferred un- til Mr. T. returned. Serious Interruptions. The truly lazy man Is not a common figtre in this country, and when he does appear he is not treated with proper respect. Ideal laziness Is an art as difficult as playing on the violin. A writer in the Washington Star tells of one member of the Sons of Rest who deserves recognition. “I s'pose John is still taking life easy?" sald the woman in the spring wagon, “Yes,” answered the woman who was carrying an armful of wood. “John has only two regrets in life. One is that he has to wake up to eat, and the other is that he has to quit eat- ing to sleep.”—Youth's Companion. Ancestral Pride. “Do you still want this geneaology ?" asked the man who digs up such “Sure, I do. Why not?” “Well, I've found that your great- great-grandfather was hanged for mur- der, your great-grandfather was im- prisoned for robbery, and your grand- father was tarred and feathered for beating his wife. That's not a very proud record, is it?" “1 should say it is. Shows how my family is getting better each genera- tion. I'm an improvement on the whole bunch—never been. in jail yet. Let me have those records. I'm proud of ‘em!"—Cleveland Leader. Apple Pie and Melted Cheese. Bake a pie crust in the bettom and on the side of a ple tin; fill with apple quarters stewed till tender and return to the oven, putting a little cinnamon, sugar and bits of butter over. When it is baked enough to set, draw it out and cover with a thick layer of grated cheese. Re*urn to the fire and let the cheese melt and brown. Serve imme diately.—Harper's Bazar.

The Intellect Is perfected not by | knowledge, but by activity.—Aristotle. A Comprehensive Word. The word “vermin” seems to have become exceedingly comprehensive in scope now that the society which is devoted to the destruction of such creatures has included not only rats, mice, cockroaches and such small deer among them, but even cats, dogs, spar- rows and canaries, on the ground that all these transmit disease to man. By derivation (Latin “vermis”) vermin ought to mean only worms and the Hike, in which literal sense Tennyson writes of the "vermin in a nut.” But the term Las coustantly been lcosely applied to ali sorts of objectionable animals, from crocodiles to foxes. Purchas told of the people of Java how they “feed on cats, rats and other vermins,” and Izaak Walton denounc- ed “those base vermin, the otters.” He used the word exactly in the tem- per In which a naughy little boy is berated as a “young varmint.”-—-Lon- don Chronicle, The Nine Tailer Saw.

No. Be- cause of that old saw about its tak- ing nine tallors to make a man. And that saw is a mistake. It is a cor- ruption of ‘nine tellers mark a man.’ It doesn’t signify that tailors are ef- feminate, !t simply shows that man- kind fis liable to error. The toll of a bell in the olden time was called a teller, and in the olden time the church bells tolled nine times for every man's funeral; hence the saying ‘nine teilers mark a man. In our stupidity we have corrupted that into ‘nine tailors make a man’ or ‘it takes nine tailors to make a man.” The cutter sighed. “This rank error,” he said, “doom: me to bachelorhood.”—New Orleans Times-Democrat. ~—*] waut a photograph representing me jost a8 [ am.
