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.

Its chief attraction Is that It gives a

Black, deep purple, and grays, are

black silk must always be included In
any outfit. After all, for an older

Is the most appropriate of materials,

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,

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

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.

"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.

some discretion about these.
"If your husband is In real distress,

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

The large drooping cape collars so

Old-fashioned wheel embroidery Is

An Inverted pleat in the centre of

Plush, oftencst of the long-haired va

Notwithstanding the seeming incon

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 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.

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

Oldest Type of Living Animals.
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

tuatara having then two eyes on the
