fresh fineries.
One of their first responsibilities
was to provide themselves with the
proper sort of walking k hat, and the
I
MODEL FOR A CLOTH GOWN.
struggle has been to arrive at a com
promise between the article that would
appear advantageously on the street
and yet mark a decided departure from
the hard quill and crown band habit
of last season. V'A single plume from
the old gray gooVe's tail, stuck inde
pendently through the crown of a
slouch felt, is not the approved idea
now. A green, or gray, or brown felt
with a bent-edge brim and a stiff
"bowler" crown seems to be the tri
umphant one of many shapes and as
might be expected it has been desig
nated patriotically by the name of Ad
miral Dewey's flagship, the Olympia.
There is nothing nautical about the
"Olympia." It is wound about the
base of its brim with a scarf of dark
liberty silk and this comes to a loose
knot in front, in the folds of which the
quill ends of two long, soft composite
plumes are made fast. Of well-dyed
barnyard fowl feathers these plumes
are made, mottled white down the cen
ter, and they are so arranged as to
droop softly to one side. Into the lib
erty silk knot a fancy strass pin is in
troduced, and this is a happy contrast
to the unbecoming cowboyish headgear
that that adopted it
during the summer should remember
with a blush. A great many patronesses
of the Olympia wear the easy-fitting
hat on hair dressed low at the
back of the head and a strap of elastic,
not skewer pins, is used to keep the
felt in its place.
Th© Evtrj-Day Gown.
The shops are filled with the new
dress goods, and what to buy and how
to have it made is the absorbing topic
with the sunbrown shoppers.
For the every-day gown which must
Btand hard wear, such as is illustrated
in the large engraving, the reversible
Harris tweeds are highly recommend
ed. The beßt quality comes fifty-six
inches wide and costs $2.75 a yard.
It is sold in all the new attractive
shades, with a real Scottish clan plaid
for the reverse side of the oloth. When
these double-faoed tweeds are used
for a skirt and coat cos'.nra?, no lining
is required and the lapels, cuffs and
collar of the coat are made of the plaid.
Camel's hair cheviot, is extremely
fashionable this year. It can be found
in dashing plaids, and in indistinct
plaids of mingled dull artistic colors.
Then there are attractive half-inch
check cheviots and these crossed with
narrow stripes. Graphite gray and
the browns and blues are usually the
foundation shades of these cheviots
and the lines which run through them
are generally automobile red, vivid
green, orange yellow and beige.
The Long: Ulster.
A little later on and we will be criti
cising the usefulness and beauty of
the long-skirted ulster that fits the
body close and has a trifle of fullness
in the rear, where a strap spans the
base of the spine and is glorified by a
large silver buckle. Long cloth ulsters
in the colder weather will be used with
capelets of bear's fur that are short on
the shoulders, high in the collar, but
almost reaching the feet, in front in
two stole ends. The opera mantles,
so far as they have allowed their
charms to be viewed, are beautiful in
the extreme. They are long, of course,

HINTS FOR HOUSEWIVES.
Outfit for the Ironing; Table.
A convenient little outfit for the
ironing table is a small board covered
at one end with asbff-itos,under a wire
netting, and having at the other a
loose pocket, in which was is placed,
and on which the iron is rubbed.
With these go the asbestos iron
holders.
nil*Hi-UK Sweeping.
To sweep a sickroom or any room
without choking the occupants or
yourself with dust is a very simple
and a good thing to know. Get a
bucket of hot water, add ammonia for
carpets aud salt for matting,dip broom
in, shake well and Hwoejj. Wash
broom constantly iu the water. If
bed cannot be moved turn the broom
011 it.s side, rubbing hard back and
forth. All the dust is taken up by
the wet broom and then washed off
into the pai!. The amount of real
estate found iu the bottom of the pail
will astonish one and also delight, as
the troublesome and patience, wearing
dusting is done away with.
Arrangement of Flowers.
Here are five golden rules which
should be observe! by those who
often arrange flowers. I'se plenty of
foliage. Put your flowers iu very
lightly. Use artistic glasses. Do
not use more than two or at most
three, different kinds of flowers in
one decoration. Arrange your col
i ors to form a bold contrast, or, better
| still, a soft harmony. The aim of the
I decorator should be to show oft' the
| flowers—not the that contain
! t'lem; therefore the simpler ones nrc
j far preferable to even the most e!ab-
I orate. Glasses for a dinner table
i should be either white, a delicate
j shade of green, brown or roso color,
■ according to the flowers arranged in
I them.
Hiilpr for tho Care of Ilonse T.inen.
The care of the house linen is fre
| queutly the source of much worry to
! the mistress. With regard to storing
linen, it should be remembered that a
dry cupboard is the first nud greatest
requisite. Also, that nothing should
be put away until it is thoroughly dry
an I well aired, so that every vestige
of moisture has disapi eared. Noth- \
| ing collects dampness quite as quickly :
I as linen. Should the lin 011 show signs !
| of turning yellow wring out in luke
warm sou]) aud water, theu dry aud
store again.
Always mend linen at the first sign ;
of a slit or ravel. Washing it after it j
has started to tear will only iucrease j
the slit aud make it more difficult to
repair.
Ordinary fruit stains can be ro- ,
moved from table linen by meaus of a I
few drops of thick sour milk. This '
should be left on for several houis, i
after which wash tho spot in luke- |
i warm water.
!
ltenovHiinj; Worn-out Mntprinln,
Chiffon can be made to look like
new by being carefully steamed, but
| it must first be very evenly pinned !
upon a box-lid, length by length, to i
get the desired result. It takes time
i to pin and unpin and pin again, but ;
! unless this is done the edge will be
j wavy and uneven. If it is to be used
j iu a way that the edge will not show, j
' then a quicker method to ae -omplish
j the result is to hold it stretched tight- i
Ily between the hands. Crepe is oven j
! more satisfactory when renovated in j
this manner, the steam giving it the j
j stiffness of new material, aud also j
, taking out all the dirt and dust. A :
j veil carefully done in this way will
leave nothing to be desired. Velvet
to be well steamed must be done by
two persons, one to hold it well and
firmly over the steam, while the other
brushes vigorously the way of the
nap with a whisk broom. Don't be
• afraid to brush too hard, for the ob
ject is to raise the pile which has boen
flattened by use.

Fl(f» Goto Court.
An English solicitor was defending
a fruit broker in an action brought foj
tne recovery of SIOO, the price pai<?
for a consignment of figs which the
plaintiff declared to be unfit for human
food The defense alleged that al
though moderately discolored by salt
water, as the plaintiff knew when ho
bought them, the figs were perfectly
wholesome. The figs were in cour .
The plaintiff, a coster, who con
ducted his own case, was skilfully
cross-examined. The trial was ob
viously going against him, and once
or twice he retorted so hotly that the
Judge threatened to commit him for
contempt.
At length the coster grew desperate,
aud turning to the opposing counsel,
hoarse and perspiring, he said;
"Look here, guvnor, you say tliera
figs are good to eat and I say they
ain't. That's all there is between us,
ain't it? Now, s'elp me, if you'll eat
two of them figs and you ain't sick
immediately afterward, I'll lose my
case."
The Judge at once saw the propriety
of this suggestion and asked the law
yer what he proposed to do.
"Your Honor is trying this case, not
I," was the reply.
"No! No! The offer is made to
you," said the Judge.
A hurried consultation took place.
Counsel suggested that it was the so
licitor's duty to submit to the experi
ment. Tho solicitor refused. The
broker himself was then asked if he
would risk it.
"What will happen tome if I don't?"
said he.
"You'll lose the case," replied both
his legal advisers.
"Then," said he, hurriedly, "lose
i the case, lose the case." And so ho
did.—Youth's Companion.

Tt was a tram car and he was a fear
fully aud wonderfully got-up masher.
Over his "pince-nez" he eyed the other
passengers haughtily, and they in turn
looked at him with the amused, in
dulgent smile with which tho public
usually regard the genius. Presently j
a soldier of tho Scaforth Highlanders
entered aud took his seat beside the i
masher. A stalwart, soldierly look
ing fellow, ho soon became the cjno
sure of all eyes. The masher looked
I at him for a moment, then sidiug up
to him he said condescendingly:
"I say—er —Mr. Soldier, I've got
| er a brother who is a soldier, don't
! you know?"
I "Is that a fact?" said the soldier, j
taking a comprehensive look at his
questioner, "weel, that's kinna queer
tae. Ye see, I've got a brither who's '
a confounded idiot, so we're aboot I

Wily He Stays Slnijlo,
Possibly the best-known unmarried |
I man of letters to-day is Heury James, j
i the novelist. Ho maintains stoutly (
, that tho artist, no matter what the 1
medium of his expression, should re- I
main single, on the grouud that tho '
i petty cares aud carpings of domestic
j life tend to wear on delicately adjust- ,
1 ed nerves and exhaust the mental fiber :
j of genius, whether its possessor be a
| painter of pictures, a worker in wofds,
! a modeler of statues, a composer of
, music, a singer or one who amuses i
I the people from the stage. There be j
some, undoubtedly, who will surmise j
from this that Mr. James has been
unfortunate in the choice of his uu- 1
married friends, but others, perhaps, j
will agree with him fully. His I
bachelor apartments in London are
said to be exquisite in furnishings and
appointments, and, despite his cyuio
i3in, the novelist is not disliked by
women, nor is he a hater of tho sex.—

Starting a Cocoanut Grove.
It is uot difficult to start a cocoauut
grove in Porto Rico. The only things
needed are the laud aud the nuts.
The nuts are laid upon the top of the j
grouud, a few iuches apart. The air !
there is very moist, and after a short
, time each uut seuds out a sprout from
! one of the little eyes at its ends. Tho
j sprout grows up into the air, aud at
the same time a root shoots out of its
base down into the ground. Withiu
a few months the sprout has growu
as high as a table. The root is now
broken off and the sprout and nut are
planted where the tree is to stand, j
The nut is buried about six inches in
the earth, the sprout remainiug above. '■
, The earth is now pressed tightly down j
over the nut, aud the plautiug is
j done.
The trees there have been set out
j irregularly. They should be planted
\ about fifteen feet apart, or just about
! as far as the trees of our peach orch
j ards. This will giye 193 trees per
acre. They begin to bear at live
j years, and need practically no culti
vation. Grass cau be sown in a co
! coanut orchard and cattle pastured
upon it. Such an orchard in full
j bearing would produce, with the pres
. eut facilities for shipment, 3193 per
'• acre, with no other labor than the
I gathering and shipping of the fruit.
( The coeoanuts ripen all the year
found. They drop off themselves
when ripe, aud the men go daily from
; tree to tree to pick up the nuts. Each
I nut has a thick green husk upon it.
j This is torn off, aud the nuts then
look as we see them in ou" stores.—
Frank G. Carpenter, in the Washing
j ton Star.
PunUliliic: a Shyster.
On one occasion, says the Colum
-1 bian. Lord Norbury, of Eu-jland, ob-
I served au attorney of doubtful reputa-
I tion prospecting iu the dock for busi
, uess, aud determined to make an ex
j ample of him. Just as the attorney
I was climbing over the rails of the
dock into the court his lordship called
out:
"Jailor, one of your prisouers is
escaping. Put him back."
Back tho attorney was thrust, and
the following colloquy ensned:
"My lord, there is a mistake here.
I am an attorney."
"I am very sorry, indeed," said
; Lord Norbury, "to see one of your
profession in the dock."
j "But, my lord, lam innocent."
"Yes, they all say that," was tlie
! judge's reply. "A jury of your own
fellow countrymen must settle it."
"But, my lord," exclaimed the now
desperata man, "there is no indict
ment against me."
"Theu," said his lordship, "yon
will be put back, and if no oue ap
pears to prosecute, you will bo dis
charged by public proclamation at the
end of the assizes."
