lSk TO in?, London Woman's New Val!. London women have a new walk. The clijn Is held liiirh and the 1ip.h1 Is turned over the left or rlslit shotild er, one hand grasping the nklrt. The Express remarks: "If Is advisable to give the new walk a wide licrlh, as the walked moves side ways." Women as Sailors and Pilots. Women sailors are employed In Den mark, Norway and Finland, and are often found to he excellent mariners. In Denmark several women are em ployed as State officials at sea, and particularly in the pilot service. They go out to meet the incoming Fhips; they climb nimbly out of their boats: they show their official diploma, and they steer the newcomer safely into the harbor. It Is the same in I'inland. Purple Gloves Popular. Royal purple gloves Is the latest expression amont; fashionable women in hand covering, lankily t hey are only to he worn wih costumes to match. To the older women of fashion they return In the guise of old fami liar friends, for some tyenty-iive years ago purple gloves were finite the prop er mode. Grass, green gloves were also extremely popular at that time, and no young aoclety woman's ward robe was comjlete without at last one pair. J Amemcan Voice Improved. "So mufrh lias been said about the shrill Afnerlcan voice," was the re markeft a prominent singing vocal structor,- recently, "that we have come to believe that Americans are hopeless bo far as ever acquiring soft, well modulated tones In conver sation are concerned. Now, that might once "upon a time hava been the case, hut I contend that it Is not true of the young fioclety'girls of New vVrk today. Just keep your ears open on the avenue and in the shops and theatres, and If you don't agree that the young American girl of today has' cultivated a soft, smooth and pretty conversational voice, then the verdict will '.be different from what I think." A Photographer's Lament. "Wmwn want the impossible," vn the remark of a well-known photo grapher, in speaking of the difficulty f pleasing his feminine customers. "A woman may be as thin as a shad, as ugly as a subway kiosk, or have a figure like the proverbial tub, yet her picture must be beautiful. My duty is to straighten stun noses, tin out 11m lows in the necks, make stout women slight and graceful. I do it as well as I know how, and that I am fairly successful is shown by the business that I do. Moreover, I have the satis faction having scores of my customers ' tell me that no one has ev,er done thom liictfpo hnf.iro flnrl thnt l nil tlin reward I want or have a right to ex pect." Sunshine Shopping. A clever housekeeper says it is her law never to shop except on a sunny H.V. MI1H llfiVPr. Kilt 1I1S1HL3. HKlKtfS, U mistake on a sunny day. sue declares there is nothing one can buy safely hut stamps when the sun is absent. There is a good deal in her theory. Shopping on' a gloomy day is a good deal like writing a letter when in a fit of the blues. The sun comes out, one regrets what one lias said and what one has bought. In spite of this, as every one can see, it just takes a rain to bring wom en out. When the weather is the worst then the fair ones hie them selves' to shop, each under the im Jr6sslon that all the others will stay 1 at home, and she will have the whole m -1 1 1 lvj iieiacu. And maybe this is why so many things have to be "taken back." Moral Effect of Clothes. Every woman who goes along the streets with her sables knows perfect ly well how great an object of envy she is to every woman who lacks that richest of all furs and, womanlike, dis plays them just a little more ostenta tiously. And, by the way, did you ever no tice how much good clothes have to Jlo with a good carriage? Setting ide all questions of the Immense Jifferences that, exist in cut and fit mi finish, the very knowledge that ap propriate setting In the way of a gown 'or suit, unconsciously affects the way you hold your head and straighten our shoulders. One wise old doctor used to prescribe new clothes for patients facing ner vous breakdowns, and declared he got more results from "a new hat taken In repeated doses" than from any other formula. -'' Busy American Women. The American woman' is , going ihead. The census returns show that I5 000,000 and more women are em- ployed in the nation's industrial lift There are now three times as nianj women stenographers as they were len years 030, while the number of women bookkeepers and accountants has doubled. The percentage of sales women also shows a corresponding Incrfase. Women have risen to be treasurers of street railways, presi dents of rational and savings banks, secretaries of financiers on salaries of $10.00i) and $12,500. executive heads of building and contracting linns, buyers for large stores, etc. They are to be met with in a hundred responsible capacities, all of them outside the once circumscribed field of female oc cupations nni iu all of which a talent for figures is a inline requisite of suc cess. Indianapolis Newi. Is It Vanity, After All? It must be accepted that women are in danger of ovet'sensltlveness because of the fineness of their nature, and also ihe seclusion of tin if life, says Ian Jlaclaien. They are quick to catch an accent in speech, to note a difference in sig nature from "yours a lectionatcly" to "yours sincerely"; t.i compare ths manner of yesterday to the manner of today. They will take offense at an illusion that was not meant for them; they v;iil he wounded for days he cause their daughters have not been asked to a certain party; they will be cut to the quick by some thoughtless words sjKiken by their husband when he was worried about business. They will be reduced to tears by his not responding to some little act of affec tion which he had not noticed. Wom en take offense too readily; they brood too much over incidents. To Talk Correctly. Among clubs is the Esperante club, which appeared this season and which combines unusual possibilities of use fulness w ith pleasure. The only thing necessary to making of this mysteri ous language a dutiable Interest are a grammar and a dictionary. So sim ple is It, its devotees declare, that every educated person knows about two-thirds of its roots and can learn its grammar in a couple of hours. Fluent speech, of course, needs long er practice, hut there is something so alluring about the transparent mean 111? of the printed words that one can imagine themselves glibly repeating "simpla, ffcksebla, belsona," with all the delight with which in younger days they talked off hog Latin. Phon etic spelling, vowels that always have the same sound", and a necessary vo cabulary of only S00 word3 are among the allurements which make it seem a matter of fun to acquire It as sec ondary language. One young girl who became proficient in Canada last winter has already earned a comfort able little by teaching it and manag ing small evening classes and giving typewritten lessons by mall. Taste In Dress. Money is by no means as essential as taste in regard to dress, and the girl of small Income with the latter quality will present a far better ap pearance than she who has much more to spend on such things. For one reason, economy prompts more care and thought in choice of frocks and their adjuncts, for the girl of slender means knows that Bhe must expend her money to the best advan tage, while the girl who is lavish will buy and buy, wear for a day and fling away the next, with a recklessness which the well-dressed, whether rich or poor, never shows. It is enough to glance at the occu pants of beautifully appointed car riages to realize that money and good taste in dress are often fur apart. Some women, devoid of the faculty for dressing well, place themselves with good results in the hands of their dressmakers. The owner of natural taste in garbing herself will exercise it with comparatively small cost, If economy is necessary, by planning her toilettes skilfully. Of course, she who owns both taste and money is a hap py individual. New York Journal. Fashion Notes. Pink and blue In evening shades are the twin-color favorites for vel vets and transparent materials. Cashmeres are being recognized as among the most desirable, as they are extremely fashionable materials. The little girl wears school frocks of serge, brightened by turnback cuffs, collar and belt of scarlet kid. Muffs joined with a seam in the middle to form an angle are designed especially to thrust the short sleeve, arm Into. Empire modes have invaded the juvenile realm and some of the smart est little coats shown for children are In this style. The princess gown does not lend It self to cheapness of any sort and never Is lowered to the insecure foot hold of a fad. Wr WW Making Linen White. To white linen that bus turned yel low, cut up a pound of line white soap into n gallon of milk and hang it over a (Ire In a wash kettle. When tho soap has completely melt ed put in the linen mid boil It hftlf an hour; then take it out. Have ready a lather of soap and water; wash the linen In It, and then rinse it through two cold waters, with a very, little blue Iu the last. Old and New Fireplaces. The varieties of fireplace furnish ings are many. The andirons ate, ol course, a necessity if wood Is to be burned. In addition, there must be the shovel, tongs and poker, with some sort of a holder, the fender, bellows, and either a wood-box or a coal scut tle. All of the lire-Irons' may be made of brass from the colonial designs, the steeple top, the bull, tho flame, etc., either antique or copies, or they may be of some of the new designs in green bronze, wrought irou, of dull brass. The green bronze and the wrought Iron are especially adapted to the rough stone fireplaces. The colo nial designs speak for themselves as to their particular adaptability. Some of the newer designs are very good and some very bad. Those that are simple, dignified and well adapted to their purpose are good, but there are ninny, especially those of wrought Iron, which are overloaded with ornament, hence to be con demned. Harper's Mazar. To Do Up Curtaim One way to do up curtains that an swers equally well for Madras, mus lin, net or lace. Is to hang them in stead of either ironing or stretching. Baste a broadlsh hem at the top and bottom, and run Into each a stout cur tain polo from which you have scratch ed off all the paint. Stretch smoothly upon the pole at each end, then hang up to dry. The weight of the lower pole will straighten and smooth it. You can usually make room for one to be hung even if you cannot for one to be stretched upon the floor. As soon as one is dry hang up another, and when they are all done rip out the hems and press lightly with an irou that Is warm rather than hot. Ruffled curtains can Wve the ruf fles ironed or fluted after coming off the poles, and if there are any little wrinkles left wet the spots and pull them out. Before curtains are put In the wash they should be brushed or shaken free from all dust, and then should be squeezed and moved up anil down iu the warm suds Instead of rub bing. Boll and rinse them, and then dip them In another water in which you have put blueing or coffee, accord ing as they need to be white or cream color. Starch them lightly while still wet. Recipes.

When it is coming to a boil, skim It well, then add half teaspoonful of salt; let it boll until half reduced, then strain it, and take off all the fat, and it Is ready for use. This is excellent for an invalid. If vegetables are liked in this broth, take one turnip, one car rot and one onion, cut them In shreds, and boil them in the broth halt an hour. In that case, the barley may be served with the vegetables In broth. New York City. Full, draped waists made of the foft, filmy materials nre among the prettiest nnd most attractive models shown. This one is exeeptlou- ally graceful ami Is so elaborate in ef fect as to make It stilled to occasions of dress, while it is simple of construe- tlon and has the great merit of closing at the front. In the illustration radium silk is combined with velvet nnd lace, contrasts of exceedingly thin nnd heavy materials making a notable feature of present fashions, but everything that is soft enough to be shirred and draped with success enn be utilized, while the trimming enn be almost nny contrast ing material that may be liked. Silk and cloth, braided or embroidered, nre exceedingly handsome on thin mate rials and much In vogue, while lace without the velvet can always be used If a lighter effect is (Jesired. The wnist is made with fitted lin ing, which Is closed nt the front and itself consists of fronts, brick nnd chemisette. The fronts are gathered at their front edges nnd Joined to the trimming portion nnd both fronts and back are shirred at the shoulders. The chemisette is arranged under the wnist, over the lining, and the collar finishes the neck edge, tho closing of the waist being made invisibly beneath tho left edge of the trimming strap and collar. The sleeves are moderately full ones of the latest stylo mounted over lin ings, and can be finished with the bands and frills as illustrated or inado with deep cuffs that extend, to the wrists, as liked. , The quantity of material required for the medium size is three nnd one-half yards twenty-one, three yards twenty seven or two yards forty-four inches wide, with five-eighth yard of all-over lace for the chemisette, one-half yard of velvet and two and one-half yards of applique' to make as illustrated. Pretty Combination. A curious outcome of the vogue of heavy and light combinations is that of using Irish crochet of a very open mesh Inserted in the middle of em broidery, with a close-meshed bit set n without tho more U3iml cutting way of the material beneath. K' h 1 mi tttI Fancy Joke Waist, 32 to 40 Bost 5 ftliirt Vfnlut or mouse SleeTen. The tip-to-dute sleeve is absolutely essential to the style of the waist or tho gown. No other feature changes so often nnd none so surely marks the fashion. Illustrated are some ad mirable designs which can be utilized alike for remodeling and for now ma terial and which nfl'ord so great a va riety as to suit almost all occasions nnd all materials. The long sleeve wlLh the deep cuffs is exceedingly charming for the fancy waists of simple occas ions, while the elbow ami three-quar-lor lengths nre equally desirable for the more dressy blouses, ami the shirt wnist model suits the plain tnllored sort. In the illustration the long fancy sleeve Is made of lawn with tucking and embroidery, the elbow and three quarter sleeves are of soft silk with lace trimmings, and the shirt waist sleeve is of Madras, but every suitable and seasonable material can be utilized with whatever trimming may be pre ferred. The fancy sleeve Is made with full upper portion and deep cult which are Joined one to the other. Both the el how and vhe three-quarter sleeves are made with full portions only, the lower edges held by bands, and the plnin sleeve is iu regulation shirt wnist style with a straight cult Unit Is but' toned Into place.

We nre also told that tailor mades will bo more severe than they were last year, but that there will bo little difference In the garniture and effect of the frock for more elaborate occasions. Sleeves have been given a great deal of attention the last few years, for nil couturiers appreciate the fact that this part of the dress demands vital attention. As n matter of fact, sleeves can hard ly be Improved upon. They are neither huge horrors nor strained skimps. Rather are tliey charmingly graceful bits of drapery of whatever length Is most becoming. The plain coat sleeve Is right In its way, too, being suitable In every detail. CAN'T STRAICHTEN UP. j Klln-y Tronhltt CmiUrs Wrnlt l:.nli and j Multitude of 1'tiln end Ac-lin. Col. it. S.

Among modern prophets John Alexander Dowle has the distinction of being the only one who has been discarded by the sett which ha founded. After building his zion up to astonishing proportions, he finds himself denounced as a hypocrite and charged with ninny serious offenses, and, worst of all, his wife and son are against him. The accusations are damaging enough to an ordinary man, and so much the worse for one claiming to be a reincarnated prop het, hut they come from his follow ers who ought to know what they are talking about. The infidels as touching Dowieism have not said anything worse, if quite so bad, about him. The wond er is that his own flock has been so slow to find him out or to frankly say what they must have known for sometime. Hnrrlwick Crawled Back. While traveling In. a Pullman car not long ago Congressman Hardwiek, of Georgia, the smallest min in the House, found himself fellow passen ger with a well-dressed, quiet-looking negro, his was not agreeable to the Georgian, who was further riled on seeing the colored man in tho dining car. He and the darky returned to the Pullman about the same time, and then Sir. Hardwiek went to the conductor and asked that the negro be put out of tho car. "We can't do that, sir," the conductor answered. "Well, if that fresh niggar gets near me I'm going to wipe up the car with him," declared the Georgian. "I won't have him around me. Who is tho black rascal?" "That's 'Joe Gan3, champion lightweight pugil ist," answered the conductor, and Mr. Hardwiek concluded not to "wipe up the car" with his qulet looklr.g fellow passenger.
