;" BLTJE-EYED BABIES.
' "Every baby who expects to be
adopted out of an orphan asylum
ought to make It a point of being
born with blue eyes," said an asylum
director. "That precaution will in-

right way of preparing them. Melt the butter In a small
saucepan, then mix with the fine crumbs. When crumbs are
buttered In this way each crumb gets its share. In the old
way of sprinkling with crumbs, then dotting with bits of
butter, it was distributed most unevenly. Buttered crumbs
may be seasoned with onion Juice, strained tomato or lemon

Is the way they explain their prefer

The youngster will no doubt do Jus

for the children with eyes of another
color to be so discriminated against."

) SLEEVES ARE UNLIKE.
The new idea of making the sleeves
In the evening gown entirely unlike
can come very near being grotesque.
Every dressmaker does not know how
to do It in such an artistic, way that
one does not realize the sleeves are
unlike until a close Inspection.
This fashion is as old as Egypt.
Antique gowns show it, so do those
of the Middle Ages. Not only are the
fabrics used quite different, but the
two sleeves are of different lengths.
For instance, in a rose pink satin
gown the sleeve on the right arm is
merely a drapery of pink tulle caught
with a wide pointed shoulder piece of
cut crystals strung on white net. This
has a cap-like effect and hangs in a
tasseled point half-way to elbow.
On the left arm is a five-Inch
square sleeve of pink tulle embroid
ered with rhlnestones and finished
with a three-inch fringe of them.
In this gown the materials are alike,
although differently managed.
In another gown of white satin the
right sleeve is covered with a cap of
pink roses and green leaves mounted
on pink tulle. The left sleeve is of
rich gold .lace, unllned and finished
.with its own scallops.
This extends half-way to elbow
and stands out in a conspicuous man
ner, as there is no other' gold lace
on the frock. Philadelphia Ledger.
v THE PRETTY GIRL
Begins the day with a tepid tub.
It tub is not accessible, she takes a
tepid bath, and follows this with a
spray of eau de cologne, than which
there is nothing more cooling to the
body.
Sprays her face at night with hot
water from a small bath' spray. No
matter how hot it Is, this tingling
cools the skin. Afterward she rubs
a liberal amount of cold cream on her
face and wipes off with a piece of
flannel.
Does not use rouge in the summer
time. She knows that it will show on
her complexion. However, she rubs a
great deal of powder on her face, and
eo keeps it fine and soft.
Keeps hr hair fluffy. She knows
that strlL hair would have prevent
ed the Trojan War, so she keeps it
dry with cleansing powders and
monthly shampoos and frequent
brushing.
Uses a big comb whose teeth are
dull. There is no economy in a comb
with sharp teeth, as they irritate the
scalp, heat the head and make one
feel warm all day.
Wears clothing that Is light as pos
sible. White Inclines to make her
feel, cooler, and blue Is also famed (
being a cool color. Pink Is excltlrl
to the nerves, and violet soothes the
eyes.
Neither hurries nor worries. The
hurry can be avoided by careful plan
nlng, and the worry has long since
been outgrown. Pittsburg Dispatch.
WHERE WE GET FALSE HAIR.
The one branch of business that
haB flourished like the green bay tree,
despite distressing financial condi
tions, is the trading In human hair.
The fashion of elaborate halrdress
ing and the era of false hair preceded
the panic in the money market and
has been In no way affected by It,
and the dealers In hair goods are
reaping a harvest that has been
ripening for some time.
Few of the wearers of fetching
puffs and silky coils, of curls and
wigs, have more than a vague Idea
of the source of supply: They under
stand the product to be human hair
and seek to know nothing more. A
man, brought up In the business and
accumulating wealth by means of the
present-day fashions, has confided the
reason for excessively high prices In
hair which looks no better than the
cheaper grade. This is as follows:
Prosperity reigned for a number
of years and the peasant gills were
not forced to part with their hair.
This source of supply being restricted
the price Jumped, of course, and an
other had to be found because only
the few could afford such luxuries.
China proved .the salvation of the
hair trade after a method of refining
and changing the color of the coarse
black hair had been discovered,
which method, by the way, happens
to be a cheap one. Pittsburg Dis

easy work, as a hostess discovered

If you want to make a success ol
a stranger do not herald her charms.
Many a good looking debutante has
had her winter ruined by friends who
proclaimed her a beauty or a winner
before her debut.
Even inanimate things seem to
share the perversity that makes living
up to a reputation difficult. What
noted cook has not had her cake turn
heavy or her charlotte russe grow
buttery at the time she most wished
to make an impression?
There are times when living up
to a reputation is good discipline.
The woman who has a name for a
sweet disposition cannot cut loose
and rage under provocation for fear
of public opinion.
Sometimes the fact that we are
supposed to have certain character
istic is a handicap on our good time.
A young woman wondered at her lack
of social success, until finally she dis
covered that the men thought her a
literary shark because she had car
ried off honors in college of which
her dating mother had boasted.
Another woman Is slow in making
friends because near-sighted eyes and
a tip-tilted chin have given her an un
deserved reputation for haughtiness.
Often it is as hard to live up to our
reputation as to live it down. It is
perhaps easier to'make .the world for
get a shortcoming than to beat into it
the idea that one is not so clever or
witty or lavish as she Is credited.
If you get a name for being a great
reader no one thinks of offering you
the latest novel, though your brain is
fiction hungry. The sorry Jokes we
are forced to endure from the pro
fessed wit are half of them due to
his feeling that he must not fall short
of his reputation.
The woman who Is considered gen
erous often Cuds the bills are left for
her to foot. Often she meets with
criticism when she does a nice thing
because it does not come up to the
recipient's Idea of the donor's lavish
ness. Worst of all is it to live up to a
teputation of superiority. No matter
how much we may want to come
down to earth, our friends will not
permit. To be forced onto a nedpatnl
when one hankers for the common
place is worse than dealing out plati

Perfectly Safe.
"I should think Mrs. Roosevelt
would be afraid to let her husband go
after lions," declared a reader of the
daily papers, according to a writer in
the St. Louis Dispatch. "It's a most
dangerous sport."
"Nonsense!" responded her hus
band. "Why do you say that?"
"Because she knows very well
there isn't a lion living that could
bite him first." :
New York City. Just such pretty
blouses as this one are in great de
mand for young girls, and are charm
ingly youthful in effect. This one Is
tucked on exceptionally becoming
lines, and includes a little chemisette
that is always dainty, while it allows
a choice of plain or tucked sleeves.
In the illustration It is cut off at the
Empire waist line, but whether it
shall be finished in that way or at
the natural line Is a question for each
Individual to decide. In either case
it is charmingly, graceful, and it is
adapted to every material that Is thin
enough to be tucked with success, for
It can be lined or unllned and conse
quently suits lingerie fabrics and the
like quite as well as silk. In the Il
lustration, however, crepe de chine
is combined with banding and with a
lace chemisette. If a gulmpe effect
is wanted the sleeves could be made
to match the chemisette in place of
the blouse.
The waist is made with the fitted
lining, which Is optional with the
front and back portions. It is tucked
on indicated lines. When the lining
Is used it is faced to form the chemi
sette, but when It is omitted this lat
ter is attached to the blouse, the
Joining being concealed by the trim
ming. When finished at the Empire
waist line the waist is cut off to the
necessary depth, and can either be
worn with the skirt illustrated or
with any similar one. When extend
ed to the natural waist line it re
quires only the usual finish of any
pretty belt or girdle. Both sleeves
are cut in one piece each.
The quantity of material required
for the sixteen-year size is four and
and an eighth yards twenty-one or
twenty-four, two and a half yards
thirty-two or forty-four inches wide,
with two and three-eighth yards of
banding, five-eighth yard eighteen
Inches wide for the chemisette.
Bags Follow Suit Cases.
The fashion is tending toward
traveling bags Instead of suit cases.
Dahlias For Hat.
Dahlias are quite the favorite for
hat trimming. The dark-hued flow
ers lend themselves very readily to
the brown tones. The dahlia is so
compact that it does not suffer from
wind and sun, as is apt to be the case
with other floral representations.
Bowknots For Hatpins.
Bowknots made of cut Jet, bril
liants or cut glass stone are now used
for hatpins. , .
Punctured Cloth.
There is a broadcloth ttimmlng
now in use which Is covered with a
design in holes. These are made with
a stiletto. It Is called punctured
cloth, and Is used for revers, waist
coats and panels on skirts and coats.
Blouse or Shirt Waist.
The shirt waist that Is made with
tucks over the shoulders is a very
generally becoming one, and this
model is adapted to the entire range
of fashionable materials. It can be
utilized for the heavier ones, and
made in shirt waist style with regu
lation sleeves, and It can be utilized
for more dainty materials of a dress
ier sort and made with the plain one
piece sleeves that make the latest
decree of fashion. Again the plain
surface between the tucks and the
front affords excellent opportunity
for the embroidery that Is so much
liked, and the blouse can be treated
in this way or left plain, or can be
trimmed with Insertions or finished
in any way that may suit the indi
vidual fancy. If the fashionable cot
ton crepe or similar material is util
ized, the sleeves can be inset with in
sertion or made elaborate in some
similar way, and trimmed sleeves
make a feature of the more dressy
waists, although the simpler ones
are made quite plain and severe.
The waist Is made with front and
backs. There are tucks over the
shoulders, and the neck is finished
with a neck band. It can be worn
with regulation collars of the mate
rial or separate ones as liked. Both
the plain sleeves and the regulation
ones are cut In one-piece each, and
the regulation sleeves are gathered
at their lower edges and finished with
straight cuffs.
For the medium size will be re-
quired four and an eighth yards of
material, twenty-one or twenty-four,
two and seven-eighth yards thirty
two or two yards forty-four lnchus
wide.
Hat Note.
When short plumes are used for a
hat decoration, they are bunched to
gether and . all placed at one point
upon the hat, either at the right or
left side. Longer plumes are directed
so that the entire beauty of each
plume is strongly in evidence.
. Tendency to Colors.
There is a marked tendency toward
the use of fancy silks in pompadour
colorings.

The cost of coal for steam locomo
tives is approximately fifteen per
cent, of the total operating expenses
for steam railroads, and is the largest
of the expenses for materials, Bays
the Electric Railway Review.- Data
contained in the annual reports of a
number of the larger systems indi
cate that the annual coal consump
tion is, on the average, about 2500
tons for each steam locomotive. From
the United States census report on
"Street and Electric Railways," cov
ering 799 operating companies, the
cost of fuel for power for electric
railways appears to be about $15,
000,000, which is a little over 10.5
per cent, of the total operating expenses.
The One Touch Lacking.
Without the spirit the letter is dull
indeed. Wanting that divine spark
the most finished acting Is dead and
wearying. This truth was discovered
by the officer who figures in the inci
dent cited by the Bellman.
An English drill sergeant, whose
severity had made him unpopular'
with his company, was putting a
squad of recruits through the funeral
exercise. Opening the ranks, so as to
admit the passage of a cortege be
tween them, the instructor, by way of
practical explanation, walked slowly
down the lane formed by the two
ranks, saying as he did so:
"Now, I am the corpse. Pay atten
tion!" Having reached the end- of the lane
he turned round, regarded the re
cruits with a scrutinizing eye, and
then remarked:
"Your 'ands is right and your 'eads
Is right, but you 'aven't got that look
of regret you ought to 'ave!"
"Just at Good."
Those who have been victimized by
that familiar figure in trade, the glib
clerk who insiBtB on substituting
something "Just as good" in the place
of the article that was called for, will
appreciate the point of this New
York Times story.
A man had been Invited unexpect
edly to make an automobile trip, and
was not fully prepared for it. The
roads were very dusty, and after trav
eling several miles, the party came
to a village, where the man thought
he might be able to purchase some
thing to protect his clothing.
The automobile halted before the
general store of the village. The man
alighted and accosted the single clerk.
"I want to get a linen duster," he
said.
"I am sorry," returned the clerk,,
easily, "we are Just out of linen dust
ers. But I can let you have a nice
feather duster." .
A Danger In the Home. .
"Gunpowder stays where you put
it, but gasoline floats away. Though
a woman wouldn't dream of using
gunpowder in her toilet, she uses gas
oline regularly, which is a hundred
times more dangerous. Here is an
other terror born of the automobile."
The speaker was a chauffeur. He
resumed:
"The automobile has familiarized
us with gasoline and we have for
gotten Its perils. We wash gloves in
it, we take out grease spots with It,
we even use It in shampoos.
"Gunpowder stays where you put
it, but gasoline uses its wings. There
Is a recorded case where the vapor,
traveling thirty feet, took fire at a
gas Jet and burned a young girl to
death. So the next time your wife
asks you to order her some gasoline
tell her you'd rather she'd try gun
powder." Philadelphia Bulletin.
