It Is said that a bad tempered wo
man can cause more actual unpleas
antness tor the rest of humanity than
all the other disagreeable features
one finds In life, and the unlucky pos
sessor of an uncontrollable temper
should remedy tho fault as soon as

The woman who can control her

strongest power over her fallow crea

No matter how beautiful and clev

A MODEL ARM.
Anna Haverland, who died recent
ly near Dresden, was a well known
tragedienne, possessed of a fine, well
proportioned figure, a handsome face,
large eyes full of expression and a
voice clear, sonorous and flexible.
But It was her arm and its perfect
shape that won for her historical and
artistic interest, for It was the model
for the Imposing figure of Germanla
In the Niederwald, who holds In her
right hand the German Imperial
Crown, while her left leans on a
sword. This monunvnt, sayB a Ger
man correspondent, 1b the work of
05 ml
Queen's Aspic Put three-quarters of a pint of aspic
jelly Into a basin and add three tablespoonfuls of tomato
catsup and a quarter of a pint of stiff mayonnaise sauce. Al
low this mixture to set in a round mold. Slice some toma
toes, an equal quantity of peeled cucumber and about half
the quantity of sliced cold potatees which have been pre
viously boiled. Dress with oil and vinegar and arrange
around the cold aspic.
Prof. Schilling, and It was a long
time before be could find an arm
worthy of becoming the model of that
famous figure. One evening he was
seated at the Court Theatre, where
Anna Haverland was playing "Thus
selda." Scarcely had the actress
raised her arm with an Imperious
gesture than Schilling, starting to his
feet with a half suppressed ejacula
tion, rushed from his box to the stage
and as the curtain fell appeared be
fore her with a beaming face. Hers
was the long looked for arm that was
to bear the German Crown and grace
the statue of Germanla. Fortunate
'Anna! Beyond her little world she
,was unknown till the sculptor Immor
talized her arm. It is almost as
great a distinction as having no arms,
like the Venus of Milo. But stay!
Perhaps those lost arms are now on
Germanla. Boston Herald.

THE NEW WOMAN IN CANADA.
' "Woman In the Dominion of Can
ada," said Lady Laurier, wife of the
Liberal leader, "occupies the middle
ground between the ultra claims of
the United States and the conserva
tism of the mother countries. Al
though they are admitted freely to
hart in all the advantages of the
higher education, there Is but one
woman registered as a practicing
lawyer In all of Canada. There are
less than six medical practitioners,
and the custom which prevails In
some denominations In the United
States and the older world of calling
women to the pulpit never has been
followed in the Dominion. The Civil
Service is open to women, but so far
they have applied only for subordi
nate positions. Canada takes special
pride in her successful women farm
ers. Last year 15,000 women took
complete charge of farms, and nearly
all made them paying propositions.
Fruit farms appeal strongly to Can
adian women, and they are among
the most successful growers of the
world. There is an apple farm near
Montreal owned by three girls under
twenty, all still completing their ed
ucation. Last year they picked and
packed with their own hands 2200
barrels of apples. In the domain of
religion, where women always shine,
Canadians have not lagged. Two of
the most successful and energetic or
ders of the Catholic church were
founded by French Canadian wom
en. - Mile. D'Youvllle founded the
Grey Nuns in 1747, and Mme. Game
lin the Sisters of Providence. Mile.
Mance was the foundress of the great
Hospital Hotel Dleu of Montreal, and
her sisters afterward assumed charge
of the lepers of New Brunswick.
"Canadian women still retain the
primitive love of borne, and no mod
ern tendency can shake their belief
that the most valuable work lies
along the lines of being a good wife
and mother, and keeping the home
stead In Immaculate order. Go
through the rural districts and look
through the open ,oor of cottages,
11.
with their thatched roots and half
acre patch of garden. There will be
seen the genuine Canadian life, and
the homes of the rich are only the
apothests of the humble ones. The
floor Is yellow with many scrubblngs,
the stove Is bright as new tin, and
the best bed stands in stiff solemnity
In frilled curtains and covers. House-
cleaning makes up the epochs of life,
and every feast Christmas, Easter,
the family birthdays and familiar fes
tlvals are always preceded by a gen
eral sweeping, dusting and scrubbing.
It still Is fashionable In Canada, be
you rich or poor, plain or aristocratic,
to be known in your commuuity as a
fine housekeeper." New York Press.
WHAT ABOUT OUR GRANDMAS?
Considerable pulpit energy Is being
wasted In consideration of the femi
nine style of dressing, and the hurt
ling of charges that it is indecent.
The special grievance seems to lie
In the waist known as "peek-a-boo"
and In the elbow sleeves favored In
warm weather. These styles promote
comfort, and therefore seem to con
cern alone the persons adopting
them.
The habit of attending to one's
own business is so excellent that its
wider prevalence ought to be encour
aged. If these articles of wear are
offensive to the unco guid what pangs
would have torn them had they come
Into contact with the gowns of their
sainted grandmothers!
The grandmothers garbed them'
selves In a manner exposing to the
sunlight and the general view their
shoulders, arms and chests. Over
part of this exhibit they draped a
scarf or a filmy pretext of lace.
They also displayed their feet and
ankles absolutely without a blush, ac
cepting as a fact the theory that the
existence of the feet and ankles had
been known and would be tolerated.
Thus arrayed the belles of tho six
ties, reviving a fashion of a genera-
tion before, paraded the streets in
the afternoon.
Perhaps they were railed at for
their temerity, but If so, they paid no
heed, and the reformers of the day
accomplished no more than the re
formers of the present are apt to do,
this being a total of nothing.
When men took to the shirtwaist
the change was radical, but the men
found It comfortable. The women
had not the Impertinence to rebuke
them.
To let the tastes of the women find
unhampered expression would be only
fair play, so long as this does not
interfere with public rights. The out
cry against the gigantic hat Is on a
different basis, for this hat Is a
nuisance. Philadelphia Ledger.
Plaids are much worn and form
some of the smartest suits.
Long sleeves are invariable with

A spreading hat of thick grey beav
er Is trimmed with three velvet heart

Shoes with patent leather vamps
and cloth tops will figure prominently
this winter.
Button boots as they are under
stood are considered the smarter
for street wear.
A knot Of tulle matching that at
the throat Is used to tie the flowers
worn at the belt.
The fichu effect is employed exten
sively In the development of the back
of the elaborate empire gowns.
Various shades of brown and
green hose are being shown for wear
with heavy fall tan oxford ties.
New fancy plaids include such
combinations as browns and greens,
deep peacock blues and slaty grays.
Turbans range in size from medti
um to very large. The box shapes
with protruding crowns are most in
favor.
Braid, both plain and In fancy
weaves, will be much used for trim

will be in favor.
The dog collar of satin or narrow
ribbon is worn over the collar of the

While all other Colors come and

ish remains as a standard, and the

Many shirt waist sleeves are but

New Tork City. Simula liiuo
blouses such as this one are much
worn by young girls, both with skirts
to match and as separate blouses. All
the pretty soft silks and satins, crepe
de chine and chiffon and materials of
the sort are much In vogue for the
Odd waists and for the gowns cash-
mere, challis, voile and the like are
to be extensively worn this season.
This model has the great advantage
of allowing a choice of the chemisette
edged with banding or of a plainer
waist with the tucks extended to the
collar and made of one material
throughout. The sleeves are dis
tinctly novel and graceful and can be
made with the long deep cuffs match
ing the blouse of one material extend
ing over the wrists or can be cut oft
in three-quarter lengths, all new
styles being popular for blouses of
the sort. They are laid In tucks at
the Inside edges and fall in graceful
folds at the other.
The waist Is made with a fitted lin
ing, and itself consists of the front
and the backs. It la laid In fine
tucks, and when the chemisette is
used it is cut out on Indicated lines.
The sleeves are In one piece each,
but arranged over fitted linings,
made with upper and under portions,
and these linings are faced to form
deep cuffs.
The quantity of material required
for the sixteen-year size Is three and
three-quarter yards twenty-one or
twenty-four, two and a half yards
thirty-two or two and one-quarter
yards forty-four inches wide with
seven-eighth yard of all-over lace and
one and seven-eighth yards of band
ing to make as illustrated.
The New Stylish Short Cont.
While the more stylish new models

Dusky nine.
The new color that Is a good deal
talked about with the designers Is
known as dusky blue. It comes in
moussellno, in suede, in cloth and in
plumes.
Torchon Lace.
Many sets of underltnen made for
the brides and debutantes of the com
ing season are trimmed with real tor
chon lace. This Is a durable, service
able lace that should never have gone
out of fashion.
Misses' Five Gored Sktrt.
The skirts that close at the front.
In what Is known as coat style, are
among the latest developments of
fashion and are exceedingly smart In
effect. They suit young girls admir
ably well, and this one will be found
available for the future as well as
for present needs. In the Illustration
it is made of Berge stitched and
closed with buttons and buttonholes,
and serge is favorite for the present
and incoming seasons, but linen, pop
lluette and the like are charming so
made, and new skirts of the sort are
quite likely to be in demand, while
also all the heavier skirting and suit
ing materials will be found admir
able. The skirt Is cut on the new lines,
and gives the fashionable slender ef
fect to the figure, yet it has width
enough at the lower edge to mean
comfort In walking. It can be made
with habit back or Inverted pleats as
liked. There are five gores and the
front gore is finished with a hem at
Its left edge and buttoned over onto
the side gore. The upper edge is at
tached to a belt. When inverted
pleats are used they are stitched flat
for several Inches below the belt. For
the habit back the skirt is cut off at
the back edges and simply seamed.
The quantity of material required
for the sixteen-year size Is six yards
twenty-four, five and a quarter yards
thirty-two or three and a half yard.!
forty-four Inches wide.
Sleeves Match Bodice.
One of the departures in the fash
ion this season is the matching of
the sleeve to the bodice Instead of to
the yoke. This does not mean that
the sleeve is of the same material as
the waist, for it Is usually a trans
parent fabric, but it matches In color.
CORNSTALK PAPER
SAID TO BE ASSURED
Government Experts Announce Suc
cess of Their Experiments
to That End.
Experiments conducted by chemists
of the Bureaus of Forestry and of
Plant Industry In the new laborator
ies at Washington have demonstrated,
It Is said, that paper can be made
from cornstalks, by much the same
process as that used In treating wood
pulp, at a cost, when machinery has
been perfected, of a little over half
the cost of making It from wood pulp.
The scientists feel sure that It Is ab
solutely practical, the newly discov
ered process having been subjected
to every test.
Samples of the cornstalK paper
made by Dr. H. S. Bristo jnd his
assistants were shown re' tly. It
Is made in five grades Jlfferent
color and texture. Th st grade
Is of dark gray color s' leavy tex
ture, resembling pare! .jnt. It is
almost as tough as sheepskin and
commercially might be used for many
purposes. Another grade Is of a
lighter gray of the same character.
There are two shades of yellow and
one of white.
The white paper Is made from the
hard outside shell of the cornstalk,
and the yellow from the Inside, or
pith. The yellow paper has a large
fibre, and In many respects Is like
the paper manufactured from rags
and linen, soft and pliable, and might
be utilized by newspapers.
In making paper from cornstalks
the scientists have used the "soda
cooked" process, which Is acknowl
edged by paper manufacturers to be
the best means of making paper from
wood pulp. The cornstalk pulp Is
cooked for from two to two and a
half hours; It takes from twelve to
fourteen hours to cook wood pulp.
Dr. Bristol says he has already
made paper from cornstalks almost
as cheaply as it can be made from
wood pulp. It has taken fifty years
to develop the present methods of
making paper from wood pulp. Dr.
Bristol believes that when proper
machinery Is built and the farmers
realize that a good revenue may be
derived from the sale of cornstalks,
paper will be manufactured from the
new material at half the cost of wood
pulp paper.
With wood at $8 a cord, paper Is
made from wood pulp at a cost of $13
a ton. Cornstalks can be bought for
$5 a ton and the paper made with
the present primitive machinery for
$14 a ton.
