Mouse bodice may fasten either at the
front or back, but the preferred sleeve
Is always, elbow length. The trim
ming of many skirts still suggest the
graduated flounce, and some tviiIhIs
show belts of laee, ribbon or embroid
ery. The black "pnper-chlp" hut Is warm
ly recommended for heads that find
most millinery too heavy. Its sole
trimmings are a bias of black velvet
under the brim, and a soft fall of white
ostrich feathers at the right side.
A pleasing simplicity hits crept Into
the modes for children. There are still
fussy costumes for small girls of nil
nges, but preferred styles arc taut and
trim, leaning rather to tine needle
work thnn elaborate effects. . In the
way of combination black is n fre

bo permitted to wear nil black frocks.
India pongee and taffeta will be the

Girdle and Tuck Comb.
One of the latest aud most charming
frivolities of fashion has to do with

(trap of gilded snake skin, piped along
both edges with white kid nnd fasten
ed in front with a small filagree gold
satch, can be seen an equally fash
touab'.e figure whose slim middle is
ipanned by a Swiss belt. I'erhaps the
'.atter Is a very tiny bit more modish
Ihnu the first mentioned because it is
Ihe more showy of the two. Its three
jatln straps studded with mixed jet
?teel nail heads, are held by two truly
iforgeous - buckles worked iu mingled
steel and jet and matrix opals.
Cut coral nail heads, each one sur
rounded by a thread of the minutest
iteel beads aud applied to a Swiss belt
of white silk fastened with steel aud
voral ornaments, Is a belt highly es
teemed by the well dressed, while the
ivoman whose waist measure Is large,
whose waist Hue is short and yet
whose determination ' to follow the
fashions Is fixed, wears, instead of a
Swiss girdle, a belt of elastic black
ni in cut in one piece. This is wide in
the rear, tapering to n point in front
snd treated with two handsome
buckles and two equally nice slides,
all set with gems. The wily stout
ivoman usually orders gun metal buck

about the grounds were various at

understood the art of tactful sugges

I feel stupid nnd destitute of Ideas.

Youthful Martyrs to Clothes.
A surgeon who has many children
under his professional care calls at
tention to the great discomfort or ac
tual Injury caused by Ill-fitting gar
ments worn by a growing child. Cloth
lug for young children is usually made
In large quantities at a time. All the
garments of the lot are cut after a
fixed pattern, the different parts being
pieced together rapidly and stitched
by machine, all at Ihe least posslblu
cost. The clothes are usually graded
according to age Instead of size, ami
so a child who Is larger or smaller
than the average for his age gets a
misfit. Bflt even those whose size nnd
age agree nre often no better off.
The parent may notice that tho child
stoops, and cannot be made to carry
Itself erect. Some one, perhaps the
family physician, may suggest that
the frock is not loose enough, but the
mother demonstrates to her own sat
isfaction that If is by gathering up
folds of the garment, in her hand, or
by running her hand under It. Hut if
the frock is removed nnd measured
front nnd back it will be noticed that
the measurements over the chest and
the back are the same; in other words,
the nrniholes are directly in tho centre.
If the child's arms were also directly
lu the centre the shirt or blouse would
bo nn excellent tit, but the child's
anatomy Is not so ordered, nature hav
ing Intended that its chest should bulge
out to make room for the lungs, while
the buck should be fiat and more or
less rigid.
The effect of this wrongly made gar
ment is that the shoulders nre con
stantly drawn forward, and so the ex
pansion of the chest and the play of
tho lungs nre restricted, and then In
sult Is lidded to injury, the poor mid
get being scolded for not Bitting up
straight. New York Commercial Ad
vertiser. Coronation Coiffures.
Englishwomen, nnd sympathetically
oil women, are agitated on the subject
of coiffures and hair adornments for
the coronation. As the peeresses will
have to remove their coronets to enter
Westminster Abbey, ingenious gold
smiths have planned to fit them with
silken bauds by means of which they
may be hung over my lady's arm when
she enters the church. A hairdresser
who calls himself imperial announces
that he will arrange the hair so that
when the peeresses put their crowns
on without the aid of maid or mirror
they will stay iu place.
To accomplish tills n coiffeur of Re
gent street, "to whose skill appeal
personages of the most exalted station,
also duchesses, countesses and mi'ch
lonesses, whoso beauty of coiffure Is
beyond description, is ut this time
bringing all his art and skill to beat
upon the important topic." lie an
nounces "no heavy coils, no studiously
stiff effects can possibly look well with
tho weight of adornment the heads ol
nobility will have to sustain." The
hair will be much waved and curled
in the back as well aa the front, "so
that the back view of the peeresses'
heads may uot be masculine when they
have their coronets on."

WHY THE BIRDS MIGRATE
tt Is to Escape the Cold, Bat They ve
Forget Their Real Hemes.
Speaking of birds coming back from
the South, let me explain, so far as I
;an, where they have been, why they
went, and why they take the trouble
to come all the way back again. Many
thousands of years ago birds didn't
migrate nt all. All the Northern coun
tries, even Greenland, and the mom
Northern parts of Europe, were warm
the year round, and the birds and ani
mals that lived there found everything
they needed close at hand. But by
nnd by there mine grent changes in
the conditions of the climate, aud grad
ually there began a period known as
tho "Ice rerlod," when a large part of
the Northern countries were extreme
ly cold and were buiied'under tho Ice.
Of course, the birds which lived in
these countries could not stand the
severe change, so they had to either
go to a warmer climate or die. The
sensible ones all went South nnd made
the best of It. Rut they never quite
forgot their Northern home, and long
after, when the great Ice-cap melted
away and when the Northern countries
became warm ngnln. the descendants
of the birds, which were driven out by
the cold, wout back to their own coun
try. There they found plenty of food,
so they stayed and made their nests
aud laid their eggs. But alas! the
rllmato was no longer as It used to
be mild and warm the whole year
round. It was divided Into seasons,
nnd the warm summer was followed
by a cold winter They had scarcely
reared their young before they fouud
that the air was beginning to get
cold again, so as soon as the little olios
were strong enough to stand the long
Journey they all flew away to the
South. But they never forget where
their real homes nre. Every spring
there comes over them a great longing
to go back and make their nests where
they themselves were born. They can
not resist that longing. No matter
where tbey may be down lu the (Julf
States, in the West Indian Islands, or
perhaps thousands of miles nway In
the Southern part of South America
back they come by tens of thousands,
and by millions, to their old homes in
the North. Ernest Harold Baynes, lu
the Woman's Home Companion.
Mosquitoes In Formoea.
The Japanese soldiers In Formosa
have discovered that the Ulte of the
mosquitoes in that island inoculated
them with malaria. The troops who
occupied Formosa were severely af
flicted with malaria every summer, aud
It was thought, in view of the new
theory of fevers lu Europe and Amer
lea, that the mosquito was the active
agent In disseminating the disease
germs. An experiment was made last
summer to arrive at some definite con
clusion. The Kielun regiment was
supplied with appliances that complete
ly protected the men from mosquito
bites. None' of these soldiers hud ma
laria during the summer. The other
troops oil the island, however, were
afflicted with malarial diseases, as us
ual. These had no protection from the
bites of the insects. The Government
will now furnish all of the Formosa
troops with means of protection, and
the result will bo watched with great
Interest this summer.

"Weather conditions have operated ir
regularly affecting prices of staples on
the exchanges and . the distribution of
merchandise through regular channels,
but not in all cases, however, unfavor

SURGICAL OPERATIONS

Sinner, Escaped aa Operation.
Proof That Many Operation!
for Ovarian Troubles are Un
necessary. " Diab Mrs. Pihbham ! Travelling"
for years on the road, with Irregular
meals and sleep and damp beds, broko
down my health so completely two
years ago that the physluiun advised a
complete rest, and when 1 had gained
'MRS,
sufficient vitality, an operation for
ovarian troubles. Not a very cheerful
prospect, to be sure. I, however, was
advised to try Lydiii E. J'lnkham's
Vefifetable Compound aud San
ative Wash ; I did so, fortunately
for me. Before a month had passed I
felt that my general health had im
proved ; in three months more I was
cured, and I have been in perfect
health since. I did not lose an engage
ment or miss a meal.
" Your Vegetable Compound is cer
tainly wonderful, and well worthy tha
praise your admirin? friends who have
been cured are ready to give you. I
always speak highly of it, and you
will admit I have good reason to do
so." Mas. O. Bruce, Lansing, Mich.
