For the Woman Wlto Fewi.
The deft-fingered woman who
evolves smart creations in her own
sewing room should make a note of
the fact that a big bow or chou of
silk or gauze to fasten the bolero in
the centre of the front is the smart
est caprice of the moment. Even the
little corsage coats sent out with .the
tailor frocks are finished in this way.
She might also make a memo, of the
fact that the skirt and bolero effects
that are so attractive in cloth and
spotted silk are made in one piece.
Swathed corselets are also arranged
upon a foundation, which in some
cases also serves to keep the little
vest and collar in place.

Every one has had difficulty at one
time or another in distinguishing
married from single women. In Eu
ropean capitals hereafter a distinc
tion is to be made, to the end that
embarrassing mistakes mi be
avoided. Hitherto the only distin
guishing mark between the married
and the unmarried woman has been
the wedding ring, of no particular
consequence at evening functions,
where, with the exception of dinners,
a woman's hands are never uncov
ered.
Now all is changed. Coiffeurs in
sist that .nadam must wear her
aigrette on the right side of her head,
mademoiselle on the left. If ma
demoiselle desires to enhance her
beauty by a flower instead of an
aigrette, let her have it by all means,
tucked in with seeming artless grace,
but let her make sure i< is the left
side of her profile she studies while
arranging the effect, lest later on she
be accused of endeavoring to seem
that which she is not. —Philadelphia

Oratory for Women.
The establishment at the Syracuse
university of an additional prize for
excellence in oratory, in the contests
for which women alone shall be elig
ible, is a departure, and, it seems t
us, a wise one. Critics of our mcJ
era methods of education for women
are pointing out that so long as the
lives of women must be different
from the lives of men, it seems plaus
ible that their training for life should
permit differences; and if this is true
increased opportunities in coeduca
tional colleges for development of
the two classes of students in the j
lines most suitable to each are to be j
welcomed.
The women's oratorical prize, the
first institution of the sort at the uni
versity, is a step in this direction,
and it is a particularly significant
step, because in oratory, above all
other forms of competition outside of
atheltics, the talent of a man and the
talent of a woman are difficult of
comparison.
Perhaps this may be lead to fur
ther variations of the sort. To some
laymen interested in pedagogical
matters it appears that the law of evo
lution points distinctly in that direc
tion. —Syracuse (N. Y.) Standard.
Tips for Girls.
Never allow men to hear you ma
lign your own sex. They never trust
a woman who does it; they suspect
her of envy and of bearing false wit
ness.
Be a bit blind when "not seeing"
will save some one humiliation.
Don't affect cynicism. Woman is
the daughter of Smiles not of
Sneers. Be a joy maker —in a quiet
way.
Don't be afraid to show apprecia
tion of what your male relations do
for you.
Remember men are natural beauty
worshipers. Be careful to look as
well as possible, and above all be
neat.
Cultivate housewifely talents. They
are not spectacular, but. they make
man's life worth livng, and he knows
it.
Get rid of your mannerisms. Some
women "sniffle," some giggle, others
interrupt, and a vast number nag.
The last habit as a home-wrecker is
supreme.
Whatever else you lack, you need a
well trained voice. Loud-speaking,
loud-laughing women are repulsive to
all sorts and conditions of men. Cul
tivate low tones.—Philadelphia Rec

Two Winter Frocks.
Sharp contrasts are to be seen in
the fashionable shops these days.
The airiest of frocks are exhibited
for midwinter wear, too, and the fur
riest, cosiest of wraps and suits are
shown in the sacn i rooms. As for
the furs —they wer; never more lux
urious, and let us hope will never be
more expensive than they are this
year.
Two frocks shown in a Fifth av
enue shop are typical of the season's
extremes in fabrics and fashions.
The first was an airy affair of
mauve taffetas; the skirt was tight
fitting over the hips and fell in a
double flounce. It was trimmed with
several rows of very narrow Irish
lace inserting. The bodice had a
deep ceinture of black velvet brought
through a fantastically chiselled gold
buckle. There wa3 a bolero arrange
ment of Irish guipure over mauve
gauze, and a waistcoat of antique
cream silk fastened with big gold
buttons.
The near neighbor of this dainty
creation was a gown of gray frieze
(and the costumer called it "frize,"
as the Irish do). The short coat was
heavily braided, military style, and
had a dark gray velvet collar. The
skirt opened at the side over an un
derskirt of gray velvet. The original
feature of this gown was the enam
elled buttons, squares, reproducing
the kings, queens and knaves of play
ing cards. The price of these but
tons alone would buy a fairly good
dress from a fairly good dressmaker.

Art* and Crnfta for Country Women.
The women of the historic town of
Degrfleld, Mass., have been busily at
work several years, in their spare
time, learning the secrets of the fam
ous and beautiful blue-and-white em
broidery, the knack of weaving mar
ketable rugs, and of fashioning use
ful and dainty baskets from palm
leaf. An exhibition of the fruits of
their labor is held every year, and a
market is found thereby among sum
mer visitors and people of the cities
for the product.
The workers, many of them, natu
rally have their eye upon the cash
returns—which, by thq way, make a
pretty showing. But to the outside
observer this is recognized as one
of the minor blessings. The woman
who loves beautiful things and is in
terested in the world's progress, but
is kept closely at home by the daily
routing finds in this work not merely
pin money, but an outlet for her
tastes and aspirations. She lives out
her larger self, artistically and social
ly. How few people in the world,
country or city, have their eye
trained to beauty and their hand to
deftness, as God intended they
should be trained. Fortunate indeed
is the community which develops the
latent skill and taste of its women
and girls in useful arts and crafts.
There is a town in New York state
where Elbert Hubbard, humorist and
sage, keeps scores of women and girls
busy decorating and binding books
and weaving rugs. A young woman
in a New Hampshire village is build
ing up a lace industry, if we remem
ber rightly, which promises to be ex
tensive.
What can be done in these places
can be done in others. On the eco
nomic side of the question, let us drop
a hint right here —there is a grow
ing demand in the cities and large
towns for the best hand work in va
rious lines, as an escape from the
cheapness and the monotonous uni
formity of machine-made things. This
is true of preserved fruits and vege
tables, as well as of fancy work, fur
niture, and a score of oth6r things.
The time and the ability to supply
the demand often belong to the
farmer's wife and daughters. But it
is the other side of the problem we
would emphasize—the immense val
ue of such occupation in enabling
women to live out their natural
selves, and be that part of the world
of art and industry which nature in
tended them to be, while fulfilling
their duties as home-makers. —

ISeanty of Carriage.
Writes Cousin Madge in London
Truth: About a month ago some one
wrote to Truth over the signature "A
Lover of Beauty," drawing attention
to the—
"Ungainly walk of nearly all those
most beautiful and exquisitely-dressed
ladies, as fair as can be, who fre
quent Hyde Park after church on
Sundays. Beautiful as tliey are, it
must be confessed that most of them
waddle or slouch rather than walk.
Few —alas, very few!—have that pos
ture or bearing which is essential to
gracefulness and far more attractive
in woman than the costliest of
dresses. The truth I find to be that
; they have never yet learned to walk.
Would that they could see their sis
ters in Calle, Florida, Buenos Ayres!
j Then it would be realized by them
that their gait is deformed in com
! parison to that of their Latin sis-
I ters."
I am afraid there is considerable
I truth in this accusation. I have
often noticed how very few English
j girls can manage to hold their heads
jup without looking self-assertive,
j keep their shoulders flat without
looking stiff, or hold the chest well
! forward. And very, very few have
' a thoroughbred action about the
! knees. It is delightful when one
j comes across a girl who sails along
! with absolute grace, holding her
shoulders back, her chin up but not
out, and her elbows in their natural
position; not squared back in the
queer fashion of the hour. Look at
the fashion plates! There you will
see the elbow position that makes
every woman look out of drawing. It
is not pretty. Is it? The human
elbow was never intended to project
at the back of the waist in this curi
ous way. Almost all the figures in
: fashion plates are drawn with the
body, from the waist upward, at an
| angle of 45 with the line of the low-
I er limbs.
I fancy that much of the ungrace
ful walking is caused by tight lacing
and tight boots. A girl wo know,
who used to stutter along in No. 4
shoes, was advised by her doctor to
walk four hours a day in order to
counteract the ill-effects of a sluggish
liver. To manage so much pedes
trianism she had to wear No. 5 shoes;
but if this was a disadvantage it was
amply atoned for by the improvement
in her walk and carriage. She no
longer stutters on her feet, but gets
over the ground in splendid style,
with "the gait of a goddess," like the
heroine of a modern novel.
Very I.ittle Spncr.
"My parents may come between us,"
she faltered.

"they must be pretty small."

PAPER, WIRE AND GAUZE MASKS-
Some Made In Germany—Othor# In th«
United State*.
Paper masks are made by doubling
one sheet of a specially prepared pa
per, wetting it and moulding it by
hand over a face form; It is then
dried by artificial heat and cut off the
form. Openings are cut for eyes,
nose and mouth, and it is painted and
decorated by hand as desired. The
paper used by Sonneberg manufac
turers is made In Oeslau and Schleu
singen, and costs at present about 1.40
marks (33 cents) per 480 sheets.
One sheet makes three of the com
mon masks. The painting of cheap
masks costs about 50 pfennigs (12
cents) a gross; the moulding of face
costs about 60 pfennigs (14 cents)
a gross. Packing is figured at about
three per cent., as the masks are
rolled in brown paper, the ends being
folded into save striug. The ex
penses are estimated at about 15 per
cent., leaving the net profit 20 to 22
per cent., as the complete article sells
at present at about 1.80 marks (42.8
cents) a gross.
Wire masks are made by stamping
a piece of wire netting about one foot
square over a face mould in a large
machine, inclosing the rough wire
edges in a narrow strip of lead, and
painting. The latter is done by hand
in oil colors. The prices of these
masks have undergone little change
during the last year, but an increase
of about 20 pfennigs (4.7 cents) a
dozen is looked for next season. The
present selling price of the cheaper
masks, on which my calculations are
based, Is two marks (47.6 cents) a
dozen. The wire is at this date sell
ing for about 35 marks a hundred
kilograms ($8.33 for 220 pounds), but
this is an extraordinarily low price.
Gauze masks are made by mould
ing over a clay face form a doubled
piece of cheap linen gauze that has
previously been soaked in a starchy
paste. The sticky linen is made to
adhere to the form, and this is set
on a stove and dried for about
20 minutes. The linen is then
taken off and openings cut for the
eyes, mouth and nostrils. It is
painted as desired, and makes one
of the most practical masks known.
The gauze mask is used considerably
In the United States, but the larger
portion of them are made therein by
machines owned by two firms, one
In New York and the other in Find
lay, Ohio. —Consular report from

Friendly Invasion of England.
The Invasion of England is accom
plished—not the invasion which alarm
ists have predicted for November, but
the friendly annexation of our annual
visitors from America, who are now in
possession in a double sense of the
very heart of London, it Is remarka
ble that so many Americans, not of the
wealthier orders, can afford a trip the
converse of which would stagger the
ordinary English holiday-maker. But,
as our representative who has been
investigating the invasion points out,
the American spends little more on a
trip to Europe than he would disburse
on a tour in his native country, while
the English visitor to America finds his
expenses of living vastly increased.
The Englishman, therefore, unless he
chooses Ireland, which is rapidly in
creasing in popularity, makes for the
continent. He Is not especially popu
lar just now in France, but be will not
meet with insult. The reason is cu
rious. Not only London but the con
tinent is crowded with Americans and
the French will not insult an English
man for fear he might turn out to be
an American. It is a little humiliating
that, like one of our kings, we owe our
immunity to the presence of other
Richmonds in the field.—London

Cannon Ball Wasting.
A year or so ago an old cannon ball
was about the most useless object
known, tit for nothing but old iron.
Xow it has a commercial value. Lasl
fall tlie United States Government,
which now uses only pointed steel can
non balls in its work of benevoient as
similation, sold off a lot of round iron
cannon balls of various sizes.
A smart Yankee discovered thai
these balls were useful lu rock quar
ries. Xow the workmen simply drop
a few small cannon balls into the cleft
and "joggle" the partly loosened bio?*i
back and forth with iholr crowbars.
At every movement the balls drop low
er until larger ones can be inserted.
By and by the block rolls out, com
pletely severed. And then it is rolled
away on cannon balls instead of waotl
en rollers, the advantage being that
they will roll in every direction, while
a block on wooden rollers can only
straight ahead or back.

The Panning of the Prairie Dog.
Passengers on the "Q" system who
have ridden the better part of a day
through western Nebraska and east
ern Colorado wl!l remember the prairie
dog. He is numerous in that section
of the country. He lives in villages
and the villages are as close together
as the villages of certain parts of
Europe.
But the prairie dog has had his day.
The Agricultural Department says he
must go. Mr. Wilson has decided that
the dogs kill the grass and ruin good
grazing land. "Tama Jim" has little
of the love of picturesqueness In hit
make-up. He Is eminently practical,
and his philanthropy is of the type
■which seeks to make two blades of
grass grow Instead of one. Therefore
he proposes to relegate the prairie dog
to the picture books and to the stuffed
specimens of the museum along with
the buffalo.
Mr. Wilson's chemists have discov
ered a mixture which will make whole
villages fight for the first bite, but
which at the last stingetli like a ser
pent and biteth like an adder. Under
Its influence the hole that knows the
prairie dog will know it 110 more for
ever. The frisky, nervous, barking
little beast will join the Innumerable
caravan of prairie dogs who have
gone before.
There will be more grass when the
prairie dog Is gone, and therefore more
cattle. There will be less breaking of
the legs of the cowboy's ponies, and
the rattlesnake will live alone In the
hole until the summons comes to him
also. As nature abhors a vacuum so
