    THE OVERFED HUSBAND.
Professor Carl von Noorden, ad
dressing a number ot prominent
scientists at Vienna on the subject of
"Pood and Nourishment," declared
that the reason so many men begin
to get fat Immediately after they
have married Is because their wives
give them their favorite dishes on
every possible occasion. London

NEW USE FOR WEDDING RINGS.
A handsome tabernacle of silver
gilt has been erected in the Chapel ot
the Blessed Sacrament In the new
Roman Catholic Cathedral at West
minster. For years past, In antici
pation ot this event, a lady who has
done much for the cathedral has been
collecting gold rings on which the
Inner curtains might hang. She has
succeeded in persuading many of her
friends and relatives to leave at
death their wedding rings for this
service. At the present moment the
curtains of silk inside the tabernacle
are supported by about fourteen gold
en rings which she has obtained, and
on each of them the name of Its
donor Is inscribed. London Globe.
FIGHT AGAINST FUMES.
With perfumed veils and scented
millinery the London woman tries to
tght against the all pervading fumes
of the petrol motor bus, cab and
car. She has now called in the help
of her parasol.
A tiny ball of silk filled with deli
cately perfumed cotton wool Is fas
tened to each spoke end, the effect
when the sunshade Is opened being
to charge the air with a suggestion
ot fragrance rather than strong scent.
The large choux which provide a fin
ish to the handles of the fashionable
sunshades are also perfumed with
sachets, or a band of silk padded with
scented powder is wound round the
stick a few inches from the top.

ARRANGING COIFFURE.
A woman with a broad face shouU
do her utmost to concea! It by the
arrangement of her hair. One should
Home-Made Saratoga Chips. Peel six large or twelve
small potatoes, and slice them In very thin slices, using for
the purpose either a very sharp knife or a potato slicer. Drop
the pieces at once Into Ice-cold water, and just before frying
process, drain them dry in a colander. Have ready in a deep
frying kettle, smoking hot fat, and drop in a sufficient num
ber of the sliced potatoes to a little more than cover the sur
face of the fat. Care must be used lest too many pieces
be put In at a time and the fat thus be cooled so much that
the potatoes will become 'soggy Instead of crisp. Stir the
chips about in the fat until they have become a delicate
brown, and then Immediately remove them with a long
handled skimmer. Drain on paper and salt generously while
hot. When required for use, put the potatoes in a hot oven
for a few moments and they will become as crisp as when
first taken forth from the kettle. Keep until required In an
air-tight receptacle, a tin box, or a covered crock. When fry
ing place newspapers upon the floor around the stove, lest
the fat splutter and cause refractory stains. Mrs. W. W., la

take particular pains not to adopt
narrow dressing, as this only accen
tuates the defect.
A round pompadour Is becoming
to the broad face, and If the hair is
slightly parted It will soften the lines.
A small toque should also be
voided. ' '
The long, oval face should never
carry a perfectly round hat, nor a
flat hat on the top, --or one with a
stiff, regular brim. The trimming
should not be much higher on one
side of the hat than the other, but
should be about the same.
The hair should be arranged in
soft curls and waves and never low
on the neck. New Haven Register.
. LOVE LETTERS.
There are very few girls that have
not received and written what they
fondly believe to be love letters.
More than three-quarters of these
effusions are not love letters at all,
but just silly, sentimental mush.
A love letter Is not necessarily a
string of endearments.
Bismarck wrote some of the most
beautiful love letters ever written,
but there was nothing' mushy about
them, -
Napoleon's letters to Josephine
were marvels of tenderness, but the
terms of endearment were tew.
Remember this that in writing to
man it is a great mistake to tell
him too plainly how much you care
for him and how you long to see him.
Do not let him feel too sure of him
self, or he will lose interest Pitts
burg Dispatch.
CURIOS IN HATPINS.
Hatpins with the head of famous
beauty done in oils are too common
place for some original young wo
men. They have the oval enamel,
big as a silver dollar, painted as a
mythological figure, but the features
resemble a dear one, of the moment
at least. These pins are painted by
certain exclusive exchange organiza
tions and orders must get In early
tor attention. A girl who Is to wed
an army man -In the autumn wears
his head to keep her hat straight,
and the head is after the famous
Apollo Belvedere model. Mere cu
rios can be made to suit almost any
manner of man, and the bead ot Cae
sar is also adopted to various needs.
The hatpin shows the girl. t)at wbe

chic will show nothing commonplace

STORY TELLING PARTIES.
Now comes the revival of the lost
art of telling stores, not jokes or an
ecdotes, but thrilling satires which
mean a monologue for twenty to
thirty minutes. From the great coun
try homes of England the revival
comes. Girls who want to make a
success ot the summer are taking
lessons from elocutionists in order to
tell a story with proper spirit, and
not too much tone and gesture. Mrs.
Payne Whitney Is among the young
matrons who has been training for
story telling. Her supply has been
drawn from the folk lore of the
South Seas, a region which she stud
ied closely when preparing her most
ambitious work, "The Rose of
Dawn." Nearly all these legends are
a bit blood curdling. Mrs. Jack
Gardner, who never does things by
halves, has been learning a great as
sortment of Egyr."yi taleB which are
warranted to make the hair stand on
end. Society likes new sensations
and these thrillers will produce them

. MARIA MITCHELL.
Among monuments to women in
the country of their greatest intellec
tual progress that dedicated to Maria
Mitchell on Nantucket yesterday, a
combined astronomical and library
building, must ever posess a unique
Interest. It Is a memorial to one who
at a time when "woman's cause" was
only In, its cradle had made her sex
respected In every European univer
sity town and In popular esteem for
her brilliant attainments as an as
tronomer. It is now sixty years since the
King of Denmark conferred a gold
medal on Miss Mitchell for her dis
coveries of comets and a full half
century since her tour ot foreign ob
servatories gave Europe a new con
ception of women's capacity In
science. As professor ot astronomy
at Vassar she gave her college, a wide
distinction.
She blazed the way for a new pro
fession for women, one which they
have followed with aptitude and In
which they have shown an acknowl
edged proficiency. New York World.
Pierrot ruffs are Immensely smart
The waistcoat of linen crash gives
a smart look to the coat.
Shirred silk-brim facings are a
trimming feature of the smartest
hats.
The merchants are already buying
their silks for next season, and every
thing seems to have a sheen.
Stamped and carved leather Is not
only being used for fancy work but
as a trimming for motor coats.
The new rosette of soft ribbon sug
gests a huge "ragged robin" with the

The kilt craze Is becoming an ob
session. . Every skirt must be kilted.
It lsi graceful style, especially for
the slender figure.
-Plumes have particularly taken to
a dull hard shade of gray so a la
mode two years ago, but now re
turned for another visitation.
Adjustable sailor collars of em
broidered linens are pretty for chil
dren's frocks of serge or cashmere
as they give a fresh appearance to
the whole dress.
The clear golden hue that Is so
popular this season Is remarkably
pretty In laces for trimming coats
and costumes, and brightens and
beautifies almost any color.
One of the smartest frocks noticed
at a party was fashioned of foulard
in the popular tan shade, brocht-d
with large coin pots of lighter yellow
tan and trimmed with bias folds of
cream and yellow silk piping.
A style of tie which Is certain to
be Immensely popular with women
whe have physical scruples against
the ear-rasping stock, recalls the por
traits of those eighteenth century
beaux, who swathed their patrician
throats with yards of sheerest linen.
New York City. Every fresh de
velopment of the one-piece feature
la met with enthusiasm, and this
blouse is one ot the prettiest yet
to have appeared. It Is absolutely
simple. Involving very little labor
In the making and absolutely none
In the fitting, while it is adapted to
all seasonable waitings, and both
to the gown and to wear with the
Odd skirt. In this case It is made of
pongee stitched with beldlng silk, and
pongee Is being extensively used this
season for shirt waists as well as for
garments of more formal dress.
The blouse is made In one piece
and the box pleat Is applied over the
front edge. The sleeve portions are
gathered into straight cuffs and the
neck is finished with a nock-band
over which can be worn any stock or
collar preferred. - If made from
striped material the backs can be
joined at the centre, when the fash
ionable chevron effect will be -produced.
Thequantlty ot material required
for the medium size Is four and three
eighth yards twenty-one or twenty
four, ' three and one-eighth yards
thirty-two or two' and one-eighth
yards forty-four. Inches wide.
A Mascot Ring.
A new mascot ring has just been in
troduced. It is a bar of gold In which
Is set the tooth of a wolf or that of a
badger, which, when highly polished,
looks like a piece of Ivory or white
coral.
Breakfast Jackets.
Every one Is aware of the blessings
of a dainty little coatee to slip on in
the morning, and the cool, fresh
touch It gives to one's toilet at that
all important meal breakfast. They
are exceedingly simple for the home
dressmaker to contrive, also to laun
dry, for muslin Is the most appropri
ate material to choose; spottod Swiss
muslin is very suitable and not ex
pensive, so allowing for the Invest
ment of two or three.
Buttons For Jackets.
The backs of the jackets are not
made plain; buttons of the same color
as the jacket, not as the facings, seem
to part the basques at the sides and
at the back, Indicating that tbese are
separated, and might perhaps be but
toned up. - Some jackets, braided all
over, are worn with finely-pleated
skirts In light veiling and untrimmed.
Fancy Tucked Blouse.
The blouse that is made , with a
fancy yoke is the favorite one of the
season and allows so many possibili
ties for the exercise ot Individual
taste that It is especially well liked
by the woman who plans her own
wardrobe. This one Is made with
a prettily shaped yoke which allows
exceptionally successful use of me
dallions and Insertion, while It also
can be made from. any all-over ma
terial or can be embroidered or treat
ed in any similar way that may sug
gest Itself to the Individual. In this
case medallions of lace are combined
with lace banding and the material
tor the blouse Itself Is fine lawn. The
Bleeves are effectively trimmed and
are of the comfortable and three
quarter length, while the blouse suits
the gown and the separate waist
equally well.
The waist Is made with the front
and backs and with the yoke, over
which the trimming Is arranged on
Indicated lines. The trimming tor
the sleeves is arranged in harmony
therewith and they are gathered lntsj
straight cuffs.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is three and
one-quarter . yards twenty-one or
twenty-four, two and one-half yards
Ithirty-two or one and three-quarter
yards forty-four Inches wide with
eight yards of Insertion and twenty
seven medallions.
Imported Coats.
Vagueness ot outline Is perhaps the
most Impressive feature of Imported
coats.

Blackened Silver.
Dissolve one pound ot hyposulpbate
of soda In just as much water as It
will absorb and moisten the silver
with this, leaving It on for a few
minutes. Wash It off with warm
water, rinse In hot water and dry. It

Washing Cut Glass.
Dust cut glass with a small paint
brush having long, pliable bristles;
this Is far better than a cloth. To
wash cut glass use a little borax dis
solved In lukewarm water. This will
restore the brilliancy which has been
dimmed by washing In oommon dish
water. This treatment Is just as good
for pressed glass, and some of the
better grades of pressed glass when
well cared for look better than neg
lected cut glass. Remember that a
sudden change of temperature must
be avoided with all glass. Indian

Make Milk Safe.
Scientific Investigations have proved
that milk In a raw state should never
be given to children. Those who can
not buy pasteurized milk should pas
teurize It at home. This can be done
by observing these simple directions:
1 Bring the milk slowly to a boll,
and when it reaches the boiling point
bottle It instantly, cork tightly and
cool it.
2 Never feed milk that Is more
than twenty-four hours old to an in
fant. 3 Keep the milk near ice, and
never leave a m'.lk bottle uncorked
4 Cleanse and scald all bottles be
fore refilling.
Careful observance of these direc
tions will Insure against babies con
tracting diseases from impure milk.

To Keep Linen.
. Does the average housekeeper real
ize that the surest way to keep linen
is not to use it consecutively? Does
she know that, in spite ot the original
outlay of money necessary to provide
herself with a large stock ot linen
the possession of a great many pieces
Is In reality the most economical meth
od? For Instance, one woman found
that by using one set of tablecloths
and napkins for six months and then
putting It away tor a year's rest, dur
ing which time she levied on her ex
tra supplies, her napery could be
made to last almost twice as long at
did that of other women. In the same
way this woman was in the habit of
letting two weeks elapse before she
UBed each sheet again. And at the
end of two months she put away the.
set that she had just been using, and
got from the depths of her linen
closet another set Indianapolis
