Mary Roberts Rinchart, Novelist,
Is Threatened With Blindness.
MRS. MART BOBEBTS 1UKSUAHT, AUTHOB OP
"TUB WINDOW AX TUB WHITE OAT."
Mary Roberts Rlnohart, tho popular
novelist and playwright, 13 threatened
with blindness and Is now on her way
to consult a specialist In Europe who
has done wonderful things In restoring
eyesight. Last summer Mrs. Rlnohart
and her husband, Dr. Stanley M. Rlno
hart, spent a day at Lllydale, tho spir
itualistic camp meeting near their
summer home, Lake Chautauqua, N. 1".
As ono might suppose, at this meet
ing all sorts of mediums, slate writers,
clairvoyants, etc., do congregate, and
the air Is said to buzz with tho whiz
zing of spooks. Mrs. Rinchart found
excellent situations for "copy." She
said that day at Lllydale gave her sug
gestions for ten farce comedies and
Just us many mystery stories that will.
If she is ablo to carry out her Ideas,
rival the success of her play "Seven
Days" and the detective story "Tho
Man In Lower Ten."
Coming back from the ghost conven
tion in their automobile they bad a
tcrrlblo experience, being caught in a
cloudburst after night on strange
roads, with lamps that wouldn't light.
For nn hour they worked In darkness
through wind and howling storm to
get the chains on the car. And then
they beat It back to Spokesvllle a
wild waltz - mo - around - again - Willie
ride, hub deep In mud and water, skid
ding every inch of tho way and only
recognizing the road by flashes of light
ning. Mrs. Rlnehart's readers do not need
ghosts, cloudbursts and spirit rappings
for excitement. All they need Is to sit
In n comfortable chair and read her
latest romance, "The Window at the
White Cat." It sends up and down
your back delicious thrills and chills.
If some one rings tho bell unexpected
ly you jump live feet In the air whilo
the spell of the story Is on you. And
yet all the tlmo you're laughing your
head off, It's so funny and clever. Mrs.
Rlnohart seems to have a monopoly on
this combination of mystery and hu
mor. She constructs a. plot as intricate
as any of Anna Katherino Green's.
She soIvcb It with an Ingenuity worthy
of Conan Doyle, and she adds to these
virtues tho priceless gift of ringing
laughter.
Tho author of nil this fun nnd mys
tery is a very domestic woman, do
voted to her husband and children,
and story writing at flrst was begun as
a pastime, her family laughing at her
flrst literary efforts, but in splto of lit
tle encouragement she is now ono of
tho most successful of women story
writers and playwrights of tho day.
A Glove Cleaning Hint.
In washing chamois gloves do not
wring them or even squeeze very dry,
as with ordinary glove cleaning. Tho
skins pull easily, and wringing breaks
tho teuder fabric.
Tut tho rinsed gloves into a thick
Turkish towel and press out most of
the moisture, then hang them In n
strong current of air to dry. Fasten
tho pair together by buttons and hang
with Angers down.
The shrinking, of which many wo
men complain in chamois glove wash
ing, can be ovcrcomo by drying tho
gloves on the hand after they como
from tho Turkish towel and n few
minutes' airing.
Rub gently until dry. Tho heat of
tho hand makes this drying a quicker
process than most women imagine, and
thcro is little danger of taking cold.
Do not neglect rinsing as well as
washing in soapy water If you do not
wish your gloves to stiffen.
Lady Gordon's Dress Ideas.
Lady Duff Gordon thinks that overy
woman should dross according to her
face nnd form. Middle aged women,
sho thinks, should not follow tho fash-
Ions, but should have fashions of their
own, as a dress that suits ono's own
face and form doubles the chances for
looking well, which is all middle aged
women may expect.

IN THE REALM
OF FASHION
The Winter Tailor Made.
The Scotch tweeds have n prominent j
plnco this season nnd come In several
color mixtures In tho true Bnunock- 1
burn homespun effect. Tho Scotch )

ty-flvo different clans represented by i

drawing Is made of dark blue striped
serge of one tono with collar of tho
material nnd lapels of velvet. The
waistcoat Is mado of ono of tho odd
patterned silks In hand blocked linen
style.
8omo Useful Goods.
A useful suit of English worsted in
brown dashed with whlto has a skirt
with alternating box plaits attached to
a third length yoke that is perfectly
smooth fitting. A mnchlno stitched
band in two sections, the ends of each
curved a trifle and rounded, covers tho
line Joining and at the samo tlmo fur
nishes n trimming.
The coat that topped it was equally
chic, with darts in front that made it
nil but close fitting. It fnstcned with
braid loops diagonally down to the
waist line, where the two edges were
slnnted and took on n cutawny aspect.
DRESS FABRICS
FOR WINTER WEAR,
Stripes and Other Combinations
In Blue and Black,
Tho now materials appearing In tho
shops Just now aro quite bewildering
in their beauty and variety. Thero
uro some distinct novelties, and many
old friends nro seen In such different
guiso thnt they nttract as strongly as
ever. Stripes, for one thing, havo
taken on such interesting form that
it seems unlikely that their popularity
will suffer any decllno for somo time
to come.
Somo now velvets in blue and black
havo stripes varying in width to suit
different tastes and types of figure.
One piece seen hud a black stripe a
Httlo wider than n hairline sot qulto
closely on Its blue ground, nnd in an
other there were alternating stripes of
blue and black nbout half nn inch
wide. A very soft pliable corded silk
in bluo had wide velvet stripes of the
name tone.
Tho use of bluo and blnck together
Is nuother modo of the spring nnd sum
mer that seems likely to prolong its
stay. It is shown in tho now chiffons
brocaded with velvet. Several of theso
chiffons in blue have dcslgus In black,
which, like tho Btripes, aro lu styles
tho most conspicuous or tho most sub
dued. They vary in form from gar
lands of big flowers to tho modest lit
tle polka dot.
Among the trimmings that may bo
effectively used for theso bluo and
black combinations aro lovely motives
In gold embroidery with bits of palo
bluo worked lu with beads. Bauds of
silver embroidery on tho finest of
, black net, too, aro exquisite, and for
guimpes thero nro tho most dellcnto
traceries upon black net in a number
of raoro or less brilliant colors, gold
being tho predominating one. A beau
tiful though more somber effect is 'pro
duced by tho use of black beaded net
I One of tho most fashionable color
combinations at present la bluo with
brown, nnd touches of brown of a dark
old gold shade ero seen on costumos
of blue and black.
Ho Wanted an Equal Chance.
Tho "sporting parson," onco a fa
miliar flguro In English society, has
all but disappeared, in consequonco
of tho religious rovlvals and reforms
of tho last century nnd a half. A
hundred ycarB ngo, however, ho still
existed, says n wrltor In Tit-Bits, and
ono of tho typo presided over n Uttlo
soasldo parish In Lincolnshire.
Tho plnco wns a favorite landing
placo for woodcock at tho tlmo of
their annunl Immigration, and tho
parson used to tell off a nntlvo to lot
him know ns tho biril3 began to ar
rive. On Sunday ho was preaching to
hla congregation, nnd had Just reach
ed tho second head of his dlscourso,
whon tho church door was cautiously
oponod nnd n head appeared, follow
ed by a beckoning finger. Tho par
eon either did not boo, or would not
hood tho Intrudor, who then gavo a
loud cough.
Tho preacher stopped in his preach
ing in tho middle of a sontenco and
oxcltodly asked, "What Is It, John?"
"Cocks is coom," replied John.
Tho parson hurriedly closed his
eormon caso. "Shut tho door and
lock It!" ho cried to tho clerk.
"Keep tho people In church till I'vo
got my surpllco off. Lot's all havo a
Coir chance."
The Usages of War.
War is necessarily bad enough un
der any circumstances, but its laws
and usagos aro steadily changing for
tho bettor. In very early times all
prisoners were ruthlessly put to tho
sword or reduced to slavery, and as
for tho property rights of tho bolli
gorents, thuy did not exist. In tho
famous Pandlcts of Justinian It Is
stated, without the least equivocation,
that an enemy's proporty of every de
scription is res nulllus (that is to say,
la without an owner), and that occu
pancy, by which the captor makes It
his own. Is an Institution of Natural
Law. If things were ns bad as that
bo late as the time of Justinian, what
must they have been in still earlier
times?
Ceaseless Change.
Reflect often upon the instability of
things and how vory fast tho scenos
of nature are shifted. Matter is In a
perpetual flux. Chango is always and
everywhere at work; It strike3
through causes and effects, and leaves
nothing fixed and permanent. And
then how very near us stand the two
vatt gulfs of tlmo, the past and the
future, in which all things disappear.
Now, Is not that man a blockhead
that lets theso momentary things
mako him proud, or uneasy, or sor
rowful, as though they could trouble
him for long? Marcus Aurellus.
