Knight, In a recent address before the Harvard Medical associa tion, gave a curious reason for the circumstance. "It would seem, on the surface, that women ought to be a bet ter risk than men," be said. "They re not exposed to so many dangers an the latter, nor prone to so many excesses, and It Is indisputable that they attain a higher average age. Tet experience has proved that the In surance of women's lives Is a losing business. The main reason for this," says Dr. Knight, "Is a moral one. The majority of women have rot the same reason for Insuring their lives as men, and having much more frequently than the latter an Intuitive premonition of falling health, It has been Inferred that they, or those Interested In tholr death, seek, to profit by this knowledge. Among self-supporting women, with whom there is a real necessity for Insurance, the case is different, and such insurance has not been found a loosing business. Garnets Again in Vogue. ' Garnets, after a long eclipso, have come into fashion with a rusJ, and girls are ransacking their mothers' Jewelry boxes for auclent garnet neck laces, buckles and brooches, worn by grandmamma long ago, and handed down to descendants who proved rath er nnappreclatlve of the blessing. These semi-precious stones are ex quisitely becoming for evening wear, when they shine with a brilliant crim son glow most flattering to the skin of the wearer. Brunettes particularly look extremoly well In these stones, and nothing can be more becoming than one of the old garnet tiaras still to be found here and there worn in a mass of waved dark locks. For day wear they are rather disappointing, being somewhat Jetty in effect. Carbuncles are the uncut variety of the same stone, large specimens being ground and polished cabochon fashion. The resulting gem is handsomer than h cut garnet, and dearer. It is not, owever, so fashionable as the masses jf small brilliant cut stones which ne generally sees. Garnet buckles j sometimes used In black millinery lth excellent effect ' Basketball Denounced. Miss Lucille Eaton Hill of Wellesley college startled the New England As sociation of Colleges and Preparatory schools by a spirited attack on basket ball. As the chairman of a committee of the Boston Physical Education society, rather than as a representative of Wellesley, she pressed her attack on the game from every approach. . Basketball, she said, should be stopped absolutely so for as girls under the college age is concerned, and it should be admitted only tentatively, and under professional supervision, to a place among the sports open to wo men of a new age. The physical effects upon young girls at a critical period of their growth Into womanhood, the chances of permanent Injury to beauty and health, the evil Influence of such excitement upon the emotional and nervous feminine nature, and the ten dency to unsex the player lor she de clared that the competitive game, with its traveling about, its exhibitions be fore mixed audience, and Its cultiva tion of the win-at-any-coet spirit, was not womanly, and made neither for character nor refinement were all urged against the game for young girls. For Its vogue she blamed not so much these who revelled In play as the srhool boards and the principals' who permit and, In some cases, encourage 1U Petticoat Perfcctloiw From time immemorial the pottl- coat has been considered one of the prettiest and most fascinating gar ments In the feminine wardrobe, and one of the articles to which the truly refined woman gives as much atten tion as to the gown which covers It In the first place it must be immac ulately clean, there must be no frayed edges or torn rufiles, and It must be strictly In keeping with the costumes with which it Is worn. Notwithstand ing the extravagance exhibited by wo men who have developed a fad for wearing expensive petticoats, there never was a time when they could be obtained as cheaply or were so well made. Ranging In price from less than a dollar to sums of such magnitude that to the unlimited masculine under standing of fabrics and workmanship seem to be beyond all reason and an additional proof that the average wo. man should not be intrusted with money, dainty, perfectly fitting petti coats may now be purchased of almost any color, size and material. There are women a-plenty who d not ' care for the silk petticoat for every day wear, but prefer some ma terial that may be laundered, says the New York Telegram. Those are not necessarily white, or any light color, but of some shade that will harmonize with the street costume. Forapettlcoat of this kind black, strangely enough, li the least desirable color, for the dust seems to collect moro readily on it and after a few days' wear the material begins to look rusty. Madras and even percales in striped effects are the best materials for colored skirts, and these made up with a deep flounce or a succession of narrow ruffles are inex pensive, and with a moderate supply of them a woman may always rely on having a fresh and dainty looking pet ticoat on hand. Old-fnshloned women cling to the white cambric petticoat with its ruf fles of line lawn or embroidery and contend that It is the only skirt that a gentlewoman should think of wear ing. But white Is not serviceable for walking about the streets of a large city, even in fine weather; the nif ties soon becomo solid and limp, and It must be admitted that even a dingy looking black petticoat is infinitely to be preferred under those circumstances to a bedraggled white one. Fashion Notes. Strappings of leather and kid are used on tweed coats and skirts. Tight, bonod waists, snugly belted in by a broad girdle are set off by the sloping shoulder. The square, military shoulder for women is no more, and in Its place Is seen the sloping shoulder. A silk knotted and chenille fringe, Intermingled with beautiful furs and lace, la quite the rage for trimming. Many of the cloth gowns, especially the white ones, are trimmed with a mixture of sKk and chenille fringe In the same shade. Stitching Is used In profusion on all the new costumes and stitched straps either of the same material or of silk or velvet In self or contrasting tint are frequently employed for trimming. Knitted golf jackets are being made with revers held In place by large flat metal buttons; the turned down collars have pointed end and are fin lshed with woolen cords and tassels to fasten the jacket it desired. Corduroy velvets In brown and deep Ivory shades are popular because they are light and yet warm. Suede Is used for coats for the corduory suits. Par ticularly becoming are the black, brown and soft gray shades. Don't forget that tucks are tremen dously In vogue on both coats and skirts. The tucks around the bottom of the Bltlrts are almost necessary to give the required flare. Flounces are very much used on bodies, and rucb- lngs have their place. The pelerine Idea Is the dominant one with regard to wraps for winter. Low crowned felt bats for everyday wear show pinked ruches or ribbon in navy blue, emerald green and red en circling the crown, the same tints be ing repeated in the chou that rosU) uuder the hrlu.. Brown is one of the color leaders of the season, and it Is particularly ef fective If combined with two other shades, ivory being one of them; mushroom, ivory and lettuce green is a charming combination, and cboco lac, Ivory and azalea yellow Is anoth er artistio blending.
