3 CATARRH THIRTY YEARS. Her ,1w.WA,Avv.w.v.w..Va. Clothes VaVW r m An Odd Bracelet. The Empress: of Germany possesses a bracelet which Is quite unique. It la a birthday presen. from the Kojser, made from his own design, and Is practically a Jeweled miniature art gallery. Portraits of himself, his six sons and little daughter were paint ed on Ivory and connected by wreaths of diamonds and gold. Thw place Is given to an oval miniature of his daughter, while three boys are on each aide. The emperor's portrait Is heart shaped, and hangs as a pendant. The bracelet Is set with 253 of the Inest diamonds that could bo procured. Tit-Bits. Itlbbnn 1 lower on Hate. Small turbans and the marquise hats have a now trimming as the sea son advances. Roses and other flow ers fashioned of silk ribbons are the novel docorattans that milliners have conceived for the late winter street hats. These flowers being soft, quaint, pliable and unique, have an added val ue In that they are more laatjng than artificial flowers. Pinked out ruch Ings of shaded taffeta are a recent form of trimming. It Is used on the brims of felt or velvet toques and sometimes even extends to the crown. Its chief attraction Is that It gives a softening effect to the face. flown for Old lAdlae. Black, deep purple, and grays, are II fashionable colors this season, and black silk must always be included In any outfit. After all, for an older woman silk, excepting for the street, Is the most appropriate of materials, and next In favor come the soft wool len fabrics of which there are so many this year. For a woolen wrap, smooth cloth and camel's hair are equally fashion able, but not the exaggeratedly long haired clbelines or novelty goods. The cloak shoulj be Interlined for warmth, a single layer of chamois skin being put across the back and over the chest Cor any woman who Is sensitive to cold winds. Harper's Bazar. Modish Neck Uri.ln. One of the prettiest and daintiest ot stock collars Is made of bias folds ot White taffeta silk, measuring when folded exactly half an inch each. There are three of these, one above another, connecting by a little railroad of herring-bone embroidery, In coarse white embroidery silk. There Is a wire stiff ening beneath the' chin, and at the ends, which hook together. In the middle of the front of the collar there extends downward a heart ornament, (our inches deep In the middle. This Is formed of the folded taffeta, which makes the heart, and the interior Is composed of three lace "motifs," each one a violet shape, twice the natural size. The violets are connected with each other, and with the heart which frames them, by lines of herring-bone embroidery In white silk. thm KtMI Thing In Rata. The distinctive quality of the New Tork girl Is her sense of style. As In a picture she sees herself as she would be, and such she straightway be comes. v On hot' mental retina clearly defined Is the model of her Ideal self, and wath this as a guide the result Is that combination of all that is fetching and fitting which the world calls amart. What Is the New Tork girl wearing right nowT Well, to begin with, she has Intro duced an entirely new idea In her every-day hat. She does not trim It that is, not in the way hats are usual ly trimmed. She buys a medium-sized bat ot either soft, silky beaver, rough camel's hair or fine French felt, and Instead of arranging the trimming about the crown she merely edges the rolling brim with a narrow binding of fur or black velvet, then at the back, where the brim turns up, she fastens a mart-looking bow of either velvet or fur. This is all, not another bit of trimming does the hat show. In. hats of this sort the white-and-black com bination Is especially favored, though the white or biscuit-color bat with deep brown Is equally good style. When the hat la white or blacuit-oolor and the binding and bow brown, fur, rather than velvet, Is always used. Grace Margaret Gould In the Woman's Home Companion. Keep Kapenaae a Secret. "My dear," said a shrewd matron to a newly married young woman, "it la bad to let a man know how little you can live on. "It in a time of financial stress you cut your household expenses to the vary last limit to help him, you will find that thereafter he will always ex pect you to get along on that minimum amount upon which you squeezed through In that emergency. "I don't know, but men seem to have an Idea somehow that you can set along on nothing, and If you should manage In some way to fur nish a good table on money utterly Inadequate for the purpose, It wouldn't surprise them at all. In fact, they never would give It a thought, for men seem to have an Idea that women can do with nothing. "Don't forget that, as it Is difficult to recover ground yielded in business, social or other relations with anybody. o will It be also with your own hus band with regard to your househol J expenses. And so, my dear, use some discretion about these. "If your husband is In real distress, winy then, of course, you will sink every other consideration In your de sire to help him. But if he Is In com fortable circumstances In life, It la better not to let him know how cheaply you can run the house, If you can avoid It." Chicago Inter-Ocean. Tidy Wrlata In Faahlen. Tidy wrists are once more In fash. Ion. No longer will the girl or man who wishes to be strictly correct In their attire go with their gloves flop ping down over their hands. The flopping days, happily, are a thing of the past. Gloves buttoned simply and neatly are once again seen on every man, woman and girl who is particular about personal appearance or who de sires to be perfectly proper in the least details of the toilet. The reign of the flopping glove has really been short. It is seldom that a fashion Is fem inine and at the same time masculine, but the untidy, slouchy glove knew neither sex, youth, age, color nor pre vious condition. It was worn, despite its ugliness, by one and all alike. The particular pains that men and women for months past have taken to turn back their gloves, smooth them out and pat them well down into shape upon the back ot their hands seemed worthy of a better and prettier fashion. Then, too, their efforts took much energy, for the attention that gloved bands have seemed to require has been ceaseless and unending. But all this is over and at an end. Wherever the well dressed woman, and the well dreBBcJ man are seen today especial attention seems to have been given to their handwear. The wrists of the gloves are buttoned securely and fast. At least they are for the theatre, concerts, church and for all formal affairs. On the links they still continue to flop, for It was there that the shabby fashion started. But as those who are seldom or never on a golf course soon took ' up the style, the fashionables have once again but toned their gloves. New York Ameri can. Pearls are used on every article of dress from hats to slippers. On the most modish of evening frocks square necks are shown. Evening gowns made entirely ot fringe are very new and novel. Ilialr-llned striped velvets are in tremcndouB favor for afternoon gowns. An old friend with us once more Is the picot edge r,'jbon, which Is quite la mode. The large drooping cape collars so fashionable on cloth coats are seen on many long fur coats. Old-fashioned wheel embroidery Is among the trimming used for black or colored silk dresses. An Inverted pleat in the centre of the back Is a prominent feature of many of the new loose coats. , Plush, oftencst of the long-haired va riety, has quite relegated panne to obscurity In the millinery world. Notwithstanding the seeming incon gruity when the material Is consid ered, styllBh, velvet gowns must cling. Plaid stocks are rivalling the plain color collar, with clerical tabs In lace, silk and wash stuffs. The tabs are growing longer If anything, some ex tending to the knees. Plaid ribbons are everywhere In evi dence. Hats, waists, entire suits and even coats are trimmed with them. The regular Scotch forms are the most popular, but plaids ot all sorts are worn. Blue and cherry red seem to be a favorite combination this winter. A tleep cerise moire bat was lately seen above a bright blue cloth gown, with a cherry velvet vest, stamped in large checks. Strange to say, the effect of the whole was attractive. A good Idea for the slender-pursed woman Is to arrange a series of Jet bands bolero-fashion over the shoul der and around and under the arms Into a garniture that may be worn with white, black or with colors, and changed from one waist to another. This with jet stock, girdle and cuff piece forms a very attractive bodice trimming. the t.rtw mihIiI'.I KSVe-. A low studded effect Is the desired appearance for a room these days. The arrangement of the furniture and drap eries has much to do with the appar ent height of a room. Low bookcases lining the walls, pictures placed on a line with the eye and draperies ar ranged with a regard to the horizontal rather perpendicular lines these all tend to give a low studded effect. A I'oon. A small pressing board Is a boon for the woman who Is called upon to fresh en her ribbons and laces and In order to have It handy and Its covering fresh and clean a bag of striped Holland linen Is made and trimmed with scar let braid. On the outside of the bag Is a pocket for the Iron holder and the bit of wax. The receptacle is Just large enough to permit the board to slip in easily and closes with a flap at the top. Strings of tape are at tached to each side so that the board may be hung upon a closet door. Cnrpat ( leaning. To clean a carpet have It taken up and well shaken or beaten. Have the floor scrubbed, and when dry relay the carpet. Now take two buckets of warm water, one clear and the other soapy. Two ounces of good yellow soap dissolved In two gallons of water will be the right mixture. Wash the carpet bit by bit, first with the soapy water and a clean rag and then, after taking up as much of the suds as pos soblo, rinsing it with clear water and drying it v.-ith a clean cloth. Change the suds In the rinsing water, as they become dirty and take care to rub only the pile so that the water may not penetrate the carpet more than is necessary. The great point to be remembered is not to attempt to wash too large a portion at once, for It should be dried quickly to prevent the colors running. Washing Flannels. The washing of flannels, like the making of mayonnaise or puff paste, seems a matter of extraordinary skill, and a good deal of uncertainty under any conditions. But, as a matter of fact, it Is extremely simple. Flan nels may be washed In veiy hot wa ter or In water barely warm with equal success. The main thing to be ob served Is that they be not subjected to more than one temperature during the process. Shave plenty of fine white Boap into warm water, which it Is well to soften with a little ammo nia. The ammonia serves the purpose of helping the cleansing and, therefore, doing away with some of the rubbing. Soak the garments 10 minutes and be gin to squeeze and press them In the water. A great deal of the dirt will come out at once. Put them through at least two soapy waters and rinse in clear water, all of the same degree of heat Never let soap touch them, and do not rub on a washboard. Pull into shape and dry In a warm room. Iron on the wrong side while quite damp. It Is a good Idea to have forms for stockings, and no ironing is necessary when these are used. Woolens washed In this way will remain soft and loose as long as a thread of them Is left.

Tasteful house coats may fairly be counted among the necessities ot modern life. Little by little we have attained the French EOCSB COAT. woman's Idea that true economy Is subserved by the possession of gowns tutted to all the occasions of life. Morning Jackets render their wearers attractive while providing perfect ease are much to be desired because of those two facts, In addition to which their readiness often means slipping off the better gown for a brief rest and a consequent saving. This very attractive May Manton model Is shown In pale blue flannel with trimming of heavy lace, but henrietta, casnmere, albatross, veiling and silk are equally appropriate. The coat is made with loose fronts. under-arm gores, a back with Inverted pleats that Is attached to a shallow yoke, a shawl collar and elbow sleeves. The fronts are lapped In double-breasted style and are held by luvlslblo fastenings. The sleeves are edged with graduated circular frills that ure grace ful In the extreme. The quantity of matcrlnl required for the medium size Is four and three fourth yards twenty-seven Inches wide, three and ono-fourth yards thirty-two Inches wide or three and one-eighth yards forty-four Inches wide. Woman' Jacket. Stylish snug-nttlng jackets always are fashionable and make ideal wraps for general weur. The smart Muy Manton model shown in the large drawing Is shown in kersey cloth. In royal blue stitched In cortlcclll silk and finished with collar and cuffs ot velvet edged with bands of white cloth, but all cloaking and suit materials are appropriate, as the design suits the odd coat and the entire costume equal ly well. When desired the fronts can be rolled back to form revers as shown In the small sketch. Th jacket consists of fronts, side fronts, under-arm gores, back and side backs. When plain seams are pre ferred those at front and back are simply closed on Indicated lines, the stitched tucks and underfaclngs, that form the slot seams, being omitted. The fronts are deeply faced and meet the collur that Is sewed to the neck edge. When closed they are lapped In double-breasted style.

The quantity of material required for the medium size is two and one fourth yards forty-four luches wide or two and one-fourth yards fifty-oue Inches wide. Th M laelon of tlie Skirt Toae. The skirt yoke is having Immense popularity with girls and women In clined to "embonpoint." It gives a fresh starting point for pleats, and gathers or shirs, and keeps all redund ant fulness away from the waist line. Nevertheless, It can easily be overdone, as Is frequently the esse when nuy Mode Is adopted With enthusiasm, JACKET FOU A WOMAN. Therefore, It Is better to have ons street dress only made In this way, as you will not hsve more than one gown rendered "old style" If It, or they, sur vive this season. Some dressmakers keep all tucks and pleats and paneling below the knee, but this Is only to be recommended when a woman is un commonly tall. To be slender and tall Is the desideratum nowadays, and all the lines ot. dress are arranged to pro duce and enhance this effect. Flexible Slila Baca. Provision for carrying the well-nigh Indispensable moticholr Is made In va rious ways. One of the pretty contriv ances Is the flexible side bag. There are many of those In the market, and they can be described as belonging to one or other of two grand divisions. First come the well-known beaded bags in different styles, the choice ex amples being In icy-clear frost beads or in a copper-colored bead, which Is extremely showy. The second grand division of flexible bogs Includes those made of knitted links like chain armor or of overlapping plates like fish scales of different metals. Silver, steel, French gilt, gun metal are all used, but none are more novel than those made of plates of Berlin Iron. flan Metal Hat Pins. Gut metal bat pins are still to be found In many charming designs. Crys tal Is combined with the metal. Semi precious as well as precious stones and silver designs upon the black make smart pins. Green is one of the colors used frequently with the gun metal. Woman's Work Avrnn.

The tuatara, the curious lizard of New Zealand Islands, Is supposed to represent the oldest living type of ani mals In the world, and is of further In terest as being the first vertebrate In which was discovered a survival ot an eye of Invertebrate kind In addition to the ordinary seeing organs. The third eye has more recently been found by its original discoverer, Dr. Dendy, in another New Zealand creature. This Is the New Zealand lamprey, a favorite food of the Maoris, and the third eye, covered with thin skin and probably ot no present use for seeing, is exactly on top of the head. Dr. Dendy be lieves that far back In the earth's his tory this eye was one ot a pair ot use ful ones, both the lamprey and the tuatara having then two eyes on the oack of the bead.
