These fallahs. which look so attractive
when seen through a glass window,
usurp much of a girl's allowance and
consequently debar her from buying
a really good frock, which Is. after

Avoid buying odd remnants here and

smarten a last season's frock. On the
contrary, they will ruin It.
The dress of today Is extremely per

Bother Over Coronation Rnhea.
Queen Alexandra Insists that tho

robes shall not bo sacrificed to historic'
precedent or to the College 6t Heralds.
She has no mind to w alk to her throne
. In Westminster Abbey looking like a
picture out of the middle ages. Her
Tobes wll have a modern style so far
s Is possible.
The selection of robes for such a his
toric ceremony Involves countless con
siderations of detail, which do not en
ter Into the choosing of dress for
state ceremonials In general.
The Queen has her trials; her
tondoir at Marlborough house has had
on occasions the appearance of a
-school of design and a modiste's estab
lishment combined. Shall it be silk oj
shall it be velvet? Is it to be embroid
ered with gold or studded with gems?
-Shall the heraldic devices be put here
or shall they be put there? are ques
tions which the Queen and her ladles
nre even yet discussing.
The Queen will not walk under a
anopy, that ancient custom being
omitted from the coming ceremony,
"but the precedent of having her train
carried by her three daughters may bo
followed, and would certainly give dis
tinction to the procession and prevent
. rivalry among the peeresses.

Jewelry of the most original kind Is
ocupylng the attention of Paris; queer
shaped rings and brooches are belnt
eagerly sought after, and the old-fashioned
gold filigree work promises to
bo in great favor. Among the mint
unique designs Is a plaque de roil
shaped to the neck about four Inches
long and one and a half wide. It Is of
(fold filigree work, rather open spaced,
the Interstices being filled In with
strange translucld enamel exactly the
shade of green sea water. IncrusteJ
upon this are two weird goblin llko
fish one dark green, the other pale
violet their scales outlined In clols
eonne gol-l, the tyre and Hie head being
studded with Irregular shaped pieces
of pearls, opals and chrysoprases.
There are Beveral hair combs of won
derful design also. Ono Is formed of
two dull silver storks, craning their
necks upward around a large slab of
mother-o' pearl, taken from the Inner
pnrt of the oyster shell, and called a
con IH n re de perle, in which three Incip
ient pearls are seen to be forming. The
teeth of the comb are of carved Ivory.
Another Ivory comb has a hydra ris
ing angrily In a golden spray of seven
snakes' heads.
There are also strange and wonder
ful rings of sulphur-tinted silver,
wrought In designs of owls' heads, of
angels with folded or outstretched
wings, or of huge, uncanny spiders, set
with pearls, turquoises, amethyBts or
moonstones In exquisite tonality of col

seaweed, swaying in the tide, are rep

pearl. A brooca representing a gol

"The sitting room Is the room be

still smaller kitchen, nnd It must, be
used ns both dining room nnd our
workshop. Tho centre of the floor is
covered with n square of linoleum,
and there Is a deep "border of staining
round the rest of the floor. The stain
is of a rich mahogany color. It Is ef

"First I made what might be called a
'model mattress' ubotit six inches long,
four Inches wldo and two Inches deep.
This Is of strong ticking stuffed w.ith

t sewed It in places through and

useful.
"It will hold hat pins as well as
small pins.
"After making the 'model mattress'
I found It an easy matter to do the
same work on a largo scale. 1 find that
the real secret In making a good mat
tress Ih In the buttoning. I stuffed a
ticking made to lit the top of the boxes
with 'flocks' and put my sofa mattress
on the floor, leveled It as though mnk

through each place where tho buttons
go with a packing needle and fine
twine, taking care to finish off the
stitches securely.
"The valance is of terra rotta serge,
double width, and has a tape run
through tho top, which- la caught on

How Mitrconl Tunee,
The note of the sound emitted by
any Instrument Is dependent upon the
period of vibration, or oscillation, of
the instrument, which. In case of mid
dle C, Is 250 per minute. After this
ever bo slightly, and It will no longer
respond, It Is no longer In syntony,
sympathy or tunc Tho period of vi
bration of Marconi's electric waves
varies, according to different condi
tions of capacity and BclMnduction,
from 3(10,000 to 500,000 per second.
The capacity and self-Induction and
tiio receiving circuit are therefore
carefully adjusted to those of the
transmitter, and when this adjustment
Is exact, the receiver, being in syn
tony, will respond, while others will
not. In a syntonized receiving cir
cuit tho vertical wires, Instead of ba
lng connected directly with one of the
plugs of the coherer, are Joined with
one end of tho primary of a small In
duction coll, the otlier end of which Is
earthed. The secondary of this In
duction coll is connected with the co
borer In combination with a suitable
capacity corresponding to the period
icity of the transmitting circuit.
By this means Marconi has been
enabled to connect two differently
tuned transmitting circuits with one
perpendicular wire and send two mes
sages at the same time, each message
being received thirty miles away upon
a single perpendicular, and passed
down independently to its own tuned
receiver. The Century,

the wildcat suddenly sprang from a
