All In the Making of a Gowsw A woman who was noted for her ex quisite gowns when she was a society woman and who has been upon the stage for several years was induced by a well known periodical to write a little article upon the art of dressing. Her creed could be formulated in a few words, says the Philadelphia Times, and oue often hears it from people of less authority. It is to put one's money into the making of a gown. The material docs not matter so much. It need only be lieooming in shade and need not be expensive. Of course every woman of gx d taste will avoid a shoddy looking or a cheap material, but she can get ex cellent values nowadays for less than a dollar a yard. Such good stuffs are now made in Canada and parts of oar own country that it is uo longer absolutely necessary to pay the price of "import ed" woolens when having a light weight woolen gown madA All that is necessary is to gt to a reliable house, take its advice about the materials it sells as to quality and be guided by your own taste in the matter of becomingness of design and shades. Another matter of importance is the lining. It really is far better to have a silk lining for a gown, especially if one is to have that f;ar almost every occa sion. Here we come to a real item of expense, for a good lining silk cannot bo bought for less than 75 cents a yard, and even then it is not always safe to trust it It is better this year to buy the silks with little stiffening in them. They rustle less, consequently are in better tato and wear longer. Of course a silk lining is not an absolute uecessity. It is honestly a luxury, and if one can not afford to be extravagant on tlutt score it is well to turn contentedly to the many handsome linings which have been described before in this column. If silk is used, it will be found that it wears much better with the new drop skirt effect than it did when the lining was fastened to the outside skirt at ev ery seam. Iter Good Work Appreciated.

The woman was writing in a dainty white kid covered booklet "Rearranging your visiting list?" queried the guest "Xa Putting down the names of the women I love." "What an odd thing to do! And what in the name of the latest fad might yon mean?" "It isn't a fad. And I might mean most anything. This U what I do mean. I find that, there are quite a number of women I won't say unkind things about and wou't let any one talk of meanly J to me.

I am sure I love several men, too, but I can" write a list of them, because I might die, and if the list were found there wocld be a scandal." "Guess you are right What mado yon think yon loved people all of a sudden? Man in the case?" "No perhaps I don't know. It is the pictures my work, I think.

The story of the six young clubwom en of Camden, Me. .whose Shakespearean studies have brought them fame and fortune brings to mind Cowper's do scription of Mrs. John Gilpin: For thoajrh cm pleasure she was bent She had a frugal mind. At the organizing of the club a some what original and helpful method of study was udipted. Instead of the usual reading and discussing the members made as exhaustive a study of the plays and characters as possible, each young woman making out a series of questions for the next meeting, to be asked as a drill and test of knowledge. The plan proved so interesting that the originators decided to publish the questions in the form of a game. This was done on tho Saturday before Christmas, and by Wednesday all expenses were paid. .A second edition was issued a little later and orders came in so rapidly that the large stores took up the Bale of tho novel educational scheme, and the re turns made were highly satisfactory to the members of the Shakespearean club. The game is very like the game of au thors, and may be play?& by any num ber of people. Ther are six or more questions on each card, and 60 cards in a piick. For example, the cards read, "What woman lost her mind after the death of hex father and developed fondness for flowers and singing?" "Who said 'Ktch gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind?' " "In what play was Edwin Bfioch l est known?" The answers head each card. Chicago Times-Herald. The Binding Link. Mrs. Ellen M.

Nothing has dune so much to encour age stealing (shoplifting) as the modern department stores and their methods. The problem presented is a difficult one with which to deal but while mer chants have a right to display their .foods the public also has rights and duties in the matter. If a banker dumps his cash ou tables outside his desk rail ings and lets people handle it at will, he would not get much tympatlwr when he complained that it hud lieen stolen, and if he continued the pract ice because these losses were more than offset by the inert ased profits which the display nulud iu, as is the case with the de partment stores, there would be much justice in tlie claim that he had no right to make points by uuy method which tended to debauch the public In short, it may fairly be maintained that it is a prime duty of every citizen to exercise reasonable diligence in safeguarding his own property, and that if he neglects this he occoincs in a measure a menace to society.

We da not believe there it any truth in the alarming rumor that there is some uneasiness in expert quarters in regard to the stability of the dome of St Paul's.

There is no reason to suppose that such a thing has occurred or is likely to occur, and the newly appointed surveyors, Messrs. coiners Clarke and J. T.

It is tlie appropriation of the long overcoat Whereas men liave adopted a special coaC the covert coat for riding to hounds, Mich is short enongh to bo worn comfortably while on horseback and has been found so von veuient that it-lias been generally adopt ed for morning wear women have seized upon the Chesterfield, and adapt ing it to their needs uie it when they are moving about before or after riding. It gives a piquant, mannish appearance ta a slight and pretty' woman and will doubtless be used for other occasions than that for which it was originally intended. New Y'ork Letter. Theater Xanea. The manager of one of Philadelphia's theaters has started a novelty, which might well be copied by all theatrical managers. He lias added to his corps of attendants a trained nurse, who will attend to any case of sudden illness which may occur when a crowded audi ence is present Very often a doctor has to1 be summoned to attoud to some oue seized with faintness or even a fit of a more or less dangerous character, and in theso cases it would bo a great com fort and convenience to have a nurse on the spot, and in most instances further aid would bo needless.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS. PUPPIES ON ICE. tho Mrstertooa Craiw of a Doghmse and IU Tenant. Captain Bennett of the British steam er Sweet Alice reached Philadelphia from Loudon with tho visiblo p 4s of what may havo been part of a great tragedy. Captain Bennett says that whtn in midocean on the morning of March 29 an object resembling a boat was sighted about two poinU otf the starboard bow. Tho steamer boro down ou it, and tho t J i -. M T- - captain was astonished to fiutl that it was an ordinary doghouse lashed to a piece of ice. A boat was launched to investigate and it was then found that tho houso contained an Irish terrier and a litter of six pups that were apparently not more than 4S hours old. In a cor ner of the honse, which wns half filled with fresh hay, there was found a wooden vessel containing a largo quan tity of canned meats, whilo in another corner was a vessel of frh water. The piece of ice to which the house was lashed was a perfect cube, measur ing about 3 feet each way, and one end of the sides was carved in large Eliza bethan letters, which were still discern ible, the Latin phrase, "EstoPt-rpetna." On top of tho house floatil a tiny American flag, and nailed to the roof was a card, G inches by 8' upon which was written in a woman's hand: The fittest place for man to die Is where be died fur man. There was nothing whatever to ineli catei how tho dog got there nor was there uuy tltin.v to show how long she had Wen tulrift Captain Bennett thinks, however, that tho animal must have Ihvu at liiit three weeks on her iceboat Tho dog and her pups are still alivo and great pots of tho Sweet Alice ship's company.

Who Would You Bo Like? Papers were collected from 1,440 school children iu answer to tho follow ing questions: "What pjrson of whom you have ev er heard or read would you most like torosemble? Why?" Being written as a regular composi tion exercise, these answers with one exception show every evidence of sincer ity. Out of tho total number only seven children fail to return a ready response, and their hesitation seems due to a premature development of fatalism. "Nobody, " writes a boy of 13, "because it will do me no good to want to resem ble any one." A girl of 12 reaches the same conclusion from a feminine reli ance npou authority. "I would not like to envy other people, because they say it is not right They say that God made you to be so. ' ' Estjdle M. Darrah in Appletous' Popular Science MiaKhly. How Sha Got It.
