Coat of Taffetas and Lnce.
It Is the most emphatic expression
of the latest modes to develop fancy
coats In heavy lace, combined v itll
strappings of taffetas or satin, nnd
whether the coat takes the form ol
ft redlngote or a paletot, is a mattei
,'.-5
or personal taste. A delicious Httla
French model Is the one shown here
contrived of baby crochet lace,
mounted over very soft silk veiled
with chiffon. The coat la short
walsted with a suggestion of a girdle
done In taffetas, decorated with tin
buttons.
Strappings of the taffeta appear
bout the sleeves and shoulders and
the silk also forms little postillions
at the back that are finished In long
points from which depend heavy
whit silk tassels.
The coat Is worn over a graceful
klrt of silk crepe de Chine, tucked
and Insert with bands of baby cro
chet. While the skirt and coat are
made en suite, each can be worn in
dependently and any lace less ex
pensive that baby crochet can be
used to duplicate this very amart
model.
The hat is ornamented with a sin
gle plume and a band of silk at the
base of the crown, secured with a
fancy hatpin.

HOW RACE FEELING VARIES.
Chinaman Hated In California, But
Not In Mississippi.
If you go to California today, you
find an immense and Irrepressible
feeling of race antagonism against
tho Chinaman, and virtually none at
all against the negro. Tnere Is race
knowledge concerning Chlnnmon, and
enough Chinamen there to constitute
a nice menace, hut not enough ne
groes, says John Sharp Williams, in
tho "Metropolitan Mrunglne "
If you go to Vermont, you will And
none against either.
If you go to Mississippi, you will
find tho s-itne Irrepressible outbreak
Ins of antagonism between the white
and the negro races, and very little
against the Chinese.
A Chinaman, well dressed and be
having himself, taking dinner at a
Mississippi hotel, might excite some
little remark, but nothing more. A
nesro if he were a graduate of Har
vard college, spotlessly clothed and
Just washed, would, If ne were aa
mitted to the dinner taule nt a hotel
In my t-tnte, excite a riot.
If, on the contrary, ho wont to a
hci'l In Vermont, the other guests
would doubtless seek an introduction
to him, it helns an opportunity to see
and study something of a now and
e! rr.'.iiv type.
The total absence of this feeling

presence of tho negro as a uienaa tv
the inoriii:t;.s of social llfp, to tne
white msn's civilization or his coda of
eth'es, wlli be realized, when you re
member that C'lninio, WRnnmnker,

Manufacture of Cut Strings.
Catgut strips, It is well known,
fire n.i'.de of the iiitertines of sheep.
The intestines of the full grown ani
mal are from forty to fifty feet long.
The raw material from the stock
yards Is first thoroughly cleansed of
fat and fleshy fiber, by dull knives ar
ranged on a drum turned by a crank.
The white tough mcmbranrt that Is
left Is then handed over to tho split
ter, who dexterlously splits the ma
terial into even strands by bringing
It against the blade of a eafety razor
Bet upright In the table before hirn.
The stands are then apnn together
and placed on the drying frames.
An American E violin string re
quires six strands; the European four.
The strands, at one end fastened to
an upright post, are twisted togetu
er, while still damp and pliable, by
means of a spinning wheel. Taken
from the drying frames, the atrlngi
are cut In lengths, colled, and boxed
in oiled paper for shipment. To pol
ish the strings, very fine emery pap
er, laid on a grooved aluminum
block, Is used. While the strings,
are still on the drying frame, the
covered block is passed over the
strings, polishing as many at one time
as there are grooves In the block.
It can be seen that from tne manner
In which the strands are twisted the
effect of polishing Is to weaken the
string.
In the essential features, the pro
cess of making tho fine gut strings
for surgical uses, or the heavy strings
three-eighths of an Inch tnlck some
times employed for machinery belting,
does not differ from the method em
ployed In tho case of the musical
strings, except that the latter are
handled with more care.

A Lucky 13th.
There is one West Philadelphia man
who doesn't care a hang it every day
is Friday the 13th, yet he used to be
one of the most superstitious of men.
In September, 1907, when tho 13th fell
on Friday, he was cured. A huge sare
was bolng raised up to the sixth floor
Of a Walnut street building as be was
walking along the sidewalk. Just
ae he got under It some one called,
"Ijook out-" He grasped the situation
In an instant, and there passed
through his mind the thought that
since It was Friday the 13th, he wai
sure to be caught under the neavy safe.
Nevertheless, he jumped for his life
and landed half In the gutter and half
on the sidewalk. Then he looked
around to see the havoc, and discov
ered that the ropes had merely slip
ped a little and that the safe was be
ing hoisted up as though nothing had
happened. As he lay stretched In the
mud his band felt something round
and flat. When he rose and brushed
off his clothing be etlll clutched the
find, and upon examining It he found
it to be a $20 gold piece that no on
ever claimed. Philadelphia Record.

WRINKLES TO OKDER
MONEY, WORRY, DISCONTENT,
AUTOS, ALL RHINO Til KM.
The Skin of the Face Like a Sheet
of Tlssuo TaiK't- All Kinds ol
Trouble Make Each It Special
.Vat'k 011 It.
The beauty doctor took a piece
of tissue paper in her hand, crlnklod
it up fine and threw It on the table,
li lay, a crinkled mass.
"That," said she, "Is the way the
fchln looks. Wrinkles may come
siowly, or they may come suddenly.
There Is no rulo which covers the
v, rluklo. It may take a year to de
velop In u woman's face or it may
coino in a night.
"Wrinkles are chiefly of three
kin. Is. Tho most common are tho
money wrinkles. They are little fin
fliitirllke truces around tho eye$
aud at the corners of tho mouth.
Tho housewife who puzzlos over her
w.kly accounts gets thorn Just as
certainly as tho woman of affairs
"Women who worry have a queer '
n.'t or wrinkles, which are not to bi
compared to wrinkles caused by any
thi.it; else In ull the wide world.
Tiiey may run all over the face and
t !'. are apt to bo particularly dujp
.'will disfiguring.
'Tho woman who lives n discon
tinued 11 fo will huvo furrows going
1. l.i.fiiit from the corners of tho eyes
down to her '.'hin; sho will have
lieeji lines reaching from the cor-ro.-u
of her mouth to her neck, and
l!:;ro will be ugly crease.'" urouud
her ears.
"There arc muscles In the facj
v.hich aro influenced by a bad torn
per. The woman w ho seta her teeth
in a determined way will make het
j;is ugly. Tho habit will broaden
her face, make her lips narrow and
make a great many curves around
the corners of Iwr mouth and about
tho tip of her chin.
"The eyes of the discontented wo
man have a dull, tired look, and
tills means wrinkles around th
eyes and bags under them .
"Automoblling la responsible fot
a great many lines that are not to be
classified In any other way except
us auto lines. One of my custom
ers has tho automobile countenance.
"Between her eyes there re three
up and down wrinkles that look al
most like harlequin lines. They are
Just such creases as the clown paint
on his forehead when he wants to
make his eyes look queer.
" 'It was eye strain,' she explain
ed as she lifted her veil and showed
me the wrinkles. 'I looked right
Etralght ahead at the glaring white
road until these came Into my face.'
"The first step in removing auto
mobile wrinkles Is steaming the
countenance. I take a little electric
stove and I put a basin of warm
water upon It, and as the water
heats I let the woman hold her face
over its steam. The Vapor pene
trates the cuticle and softens It, and
then I spray her face with hot water
to take out the dirt.
"Most wrinkles aro caused by
dirt, but if you tell a woman this
bhe will get angry. But If you were
to soften her face with a little warm
water or steam and spread a lather
of soap or soap jelly over It and
then wipe tho whole thing off with
some hot water both you and she
would notice a great difference in
bcr complexion.
"Most women . are afraid t soap.
They think It poisons the skin and
they don't stop to reason that soap
may be very good If it Is good soap.
"Most women go out too soon
after washing tho face, and this la
tho cause of a great many wrinkles.
A woman after washing her face
should stay Indoors until her face
has had time to cool, so that It it
not subjected to a sudden change of
temperature.
"If It is absolutely necessary to ga
out she may rub a little cologne over
her faro to tighten the pores, or she
tit 11 touch it with benzoin and water.
Or, if she be a wise woman, sho will
kvp a raw cucumber in the housd
Vti.h which to strengthen the skin
against the quick changes of tem
perature. "Therd Is a professional beauty
In New York whose dressing table
resembles a vegetable stand. There
1 a cut lemon with which sho takes
o.T stains.
"Tho lemon Is mixed, half and
l:r.if, with water, followed by a touch
of told cream. In this, way she
wards off ugly little lines on the
forehead and beneath the eyes.
"She rubs her face during ths
strawberry season with the pure
Juice of tho strawberry, which makes
her look pink and pleasant. She
has a vegetable for almost every
condition of the skin.
"If her forehead Is furrowed with
n.ito lines or creases she takes a
cucumber and cutting it In running
slices, she binds the pieces on her
face, letting the Juice dry In. The
bkln for a while has a queer, stiff
feeling, but a little massage will
limber It up.
"Few women realise that the skin
Is like a piece of tissue paper. It
creases readily and the fine lines re
main until they are rubbed out
They can be Ironed out with a warm
Iron which should, however, be used
over a damp cloth so as not to In
jure the tissue, or they can be rub
bed out with the tips of the fingers.
"It Is a good thing to experiment
With tissue paper if yoo want to
know how your skin wtll act under
tertaln conditions.

curls. It Is almost impossible to get
along without the use of artificial
devices In hair-dressing nowadays
and cheveures have reduced hair
making to such a science that it is
not at all difficult to have the hair
matched perfectly in coloring, and if
one wants to pay a little more, it Is
even possible to match the quality.
