Miss Anierlcus Independence Bell, Philadelphia girl who was born July 4, 1892, applied some time ago to Secretary Newberry for permlB lon to enlist In the navy.

Snap Dean Farm at the Sign of the Wren's Nest was the home of the historian of Uncle Remus for many years and It -was there that he died. The memor ial association desires that the farm 1e paid for entirely by the contribu tions of children who have found de light in Uncle Remus. New York .Sun. Nutmeg Maid In a Burnous. Being lucky in the possession of a Statuesque figure that enables her to "carry off" styles of costumes that "would overwhelm a girl of less strik ing presence, Miss Maud Wetmore, -daughter of the Senator of that name from Rhode Island, clings to a flow ing style of garmenture Greek or -Otherwise. She has Introduced the burnous as an evening wrap In place of the more conventional loose coat, Hers Is of white camels' balr, heavy and silky, with lining of soft satin. The cape falls to the hem of her gown. The circular portion Is out Uned In wide gold braid, and a simi lar decoration reaches from the hem 'In the back of the hood, which Is made entirely of ermine. The burn us, say those who have UBed It for wrap, will not crush the most frag -lie of evening gown's. New York .Press. War on Flies. - Mrs. Bernard Tlche of New Or leans Is the leader In the vigorous war In the Crescent City to exter minate the house fly. Posters de pleting the habits of the house fly .and Its proclivity for gathering and transmitting disease germs are be ing scattered all through the South ern States. A code of respectability lias been established and any house keeper who is known to allow a .'souse fly within her domains Is put "In the same class with those who harbor other notorious Insects.

The chief -object of the war will be to destroy -the breeding places of the house fly with the hope of ridding the country permanently of the pest. New York :8un. Gloves for Shopping. For morning wear and shopping, 'the gauntlet glove Is by far the most popular. Severe tailor-mades all have long -aleeves and the tan-colored glove of heavy kid stitched with red or bright yellow Is In keeping with the style the gown. The kid In the shopping gauntlet Is heavy enough to protect the hands so that a muff may be dispensed with. Another glove Is In lemon color of deep champagne shade. Made of -doe-skin, the seams are pique-sewn and heavily stitched on the backs. These gloves are wrist length and close with a large white pearl button. The fashionable three-quarter glove for street wear la in reddish I brown glace kid. I With long sleeves It Is worn over the cuff. - When gloves of accessory colors are worn it is considered In good taste to have the tops of the shoes correspond with them; also the but tons. New Haven Register. The Hunt Figure. '""An extremely original figure Is the "Hunt" In which three papier-mache horses prance into the room, ridden by small jockeys wearing the racers' colors. The Jockeys distribute the favors, which consist of hunting crops for both men and women tied with the same colors. Among the favors suited to these figures are ban ners of red and gold, with the device 1900 on them for the men, antique missal bags of red velvet, embroid ered with crests and tied with gold cord, for the women, electric light lanterns with batteries inside for the women and watchmen's rattles for the men, natural flower fans, dlrec tolre staffs trimmed with red ribbon. crystal penholders tied with ribbons j and shell ash trays with bronze ani mals. In one cotillon figure lately heops trimmed with mauve orchids were used, and In another garlands of the Japanese wistaria blossoms. ' this was especially pretty, as confetti bad been concealed In the blossoms, and In the dancing they were showered over the dancers, as In the pretty scene from "Madame Butterfly." The Disinfected Veil. The "block system" veil Is still a leading favorite, supposedly because it disguises the wearer In a rather puzzling and altogether alluring way. Square mesh Is a protection to the plain woman who, safely ensconced behind It, may play the part of a supposed beauty. On the other hand, the good-looking woman contends that style of veil Is one of her most successful charms. "It Is quite true that womon dress for other women,1 says one woman, "but the veil Is a weapon directed entirely against man. There Is nothing men like as well as a little mystery, and the op portunity to remove It. 1 can't think," she added, with a sly laugh, "what all these suffragettes are fusBlng about. when they can get all the power they want so easily. I suppose, however, they're above veils and other femln. lne, enticements, and only care to fight those poor, dear men with their own weapons." A new Idea In veils Is the disinfected veil, treated by a chem ical process which In no way chang es the color or texture. They also have no odor, but any particle of dust or any impure air which may sift through the mesh becomes Immediate ly disinfected. New York Press. 8 mart and Graceful. There is no difficulty In dressing ror cold or warm weather; but with the coming of the latter we are faced with a time when to wear a coat Is to be too hot. Other places than Edin burgh merit Stevenson's deacrintinn of "a downright meteorological pur gatory In the spring," and the difficul ty of dressing for a day which Is steel cold at 9 A. M. and a forcing house after luncheon Is not small. The new frocks are designed ad mirably to meet this situation; none but an expert could tell whether they were gowns or pelisses. Therefore, In the genial blinks of sunshine, they have the air of being light and spring like outdoor garments, while they are still susceptible of being treated as frocks and hidden under welcome wraps. The Directotre and Princess styles are likely to list In these combination gowns, even If they vanish from among us otherwise. A charming example Is In striped light tweed, the narrow stripes be ing of old-rose and brown, giving a curious result of pinkish cafe-au-lait. It Is held round the waist by a belt of suede In soft tan color, embroid ered in cherry color and black silk in a design of whorls. The belt passes under the straight front, which fastens with tan velvet but tons to the hem. The bodice turns back with pointed revers of tan vel vet, matching the stand-up collar. The narrow sleeves are trimmed with buttons, and the vest of cream colored lace, held down with tiny black satin buttons and piped with cherry-color. On Princess gowns the tunlb Idea is adapted to the same purpose of simulating a coat or outdoor wrap. Fashion Notes. Belts should match the skirt Plumed hats are as popular as ever. Blaok will play a great part this sea son. Contrasts in embroidery and braid ing are rare. Ribbons play an Important part In feminine dress. Among the new lingerie are the prin cess chemises. There are signs of the reappearance of the bertha. The voiles are less talked of than for some seasons. The colors for both silk and Hale hose are almost endless. Nothing fixed, nothing that has a premeditated look, Is permitted about the hair. Some of the tilted hats are trimmed only on the lower side, which is usual ly right Among the tailored suits the coats are not quite as long as they were laBt season. Skirtings are nearly all striped, which adds to the long lined effects of the season. Cherries and plums in all states of greenness, ripeness and decay, have again become popular. The cuirass is a bodice that fits the figure closely, but that does not sug gest any constriction of the waistline straight and still closely fitting, to the edges of which is added a skirt. The duller metallic effects are gain ing speedily in favor. In fact, the met al laces are dyed or veiled with net, so that all that la left of their brilliance is a soft sort of Incandescent shim mer. The latest umbrella has the signs of the zodiac woven Into the border, the handle has a tasselled loop through which to thrust the wrist, the tips of the frame are gilt, and the handle In the color of the silk. New York City. The blouse with the Dutch collar is a favorite one and Is so essentially youthful In effect tha' It Is peculiarly well adapted to th young girl. This one can be made either with three-quarter sleeves fin ished with rolled-over cuffs or with long sleeves that are cut In points j over the hands. It the Dutch collar Is not liked a high one can be sub stituted. The blouse is one of the simple tailored sort and is adapted to a variety ot materials. Pongee Is being much used and Is desirable tor many uses. The blouse is made with fronts and back. The back is plain, but the fronts are laid in tucks at the shoul ders. There Is a patch pocket that Is always convenient as well as smart, and the wide box pleat finishes the front. When the Dutch collar Is used It Is Joined to the neck edge, but the high collar Is separate and arranged over a neckband. The three-quarter sleeves are finished with cuffs Joined to their lower edges, but the long ones are designed to be under-faced, The quantity of material required lor the sixteen year size is three and seven-eighth yards twenty-one or twenty-four, three yards .thirty-two or two and one-eighth yards forty-tour Inches wide. Selvedge Edge Draperies. The fancy for tunics, straight sleeves and scarfs has brought Into fashion the well-defined selvedge. It comes In all materials, even those ot silk and wool. It Is widely seen on mousseline, veils, chiffon cloth, and even batiste and gingham. A Tea Gown. Picturesqueness is the note struck by a graceful tea gown In a soft, deep, rose red, veiled with mushroom brown chiffon,' and again by mush room net embroidered with damask roses and foliage, and hemmed with mink tall. Metallic Colon. Danglers, tassels and fringes may be found In all the modish colon in I metallic and Jet ffecta Close Sleeves. If you wear long, close sleeves, tha shoulder line should be long. Dont think to get the same effect with a short shoulder. Sailor Tlea Fashionable. The sailor tie Is the fashionable shoe. Its ribbon fastening has given way In many Instances to a metal buckle, usually silver or steel. Patent leather Is the material most used tor day wear; kid, the color of the gown, for evening. Misses' Skirt. Young girls are wearing skirts that give long, slender dines, Just as are their elders, and this model Is one of the most graceful and the smartest yet to have appeared. It can be made with tire high waist line, In prlncesse style as Illustrated, or be cut off and finished with a belt as liked. In eith er case It fits with perfect smooth ness over the hips and Is Just wide enough about the bottom to allow comfortable walking. In the Illustra tion serge Is finished with stitching In tailor style. The skirt Is made seven gores and the fulness at the back Is laid in In verted pleats. When the prlncesse style Is used the skirt Is under-faced at the upper edge. When It Is cut off at the waist line It Is Joined to the belt. The quantity of material required for the sixteen year size Is seven and five-eighth yards twenty-four, five and five-eighth yards thirty-two, three and five-eighth yards forty-four or two and three-eighth yards fifty two Inches wide will be sufficient, Jumpers Still la Style. As the season wears on it is noticed that many of the smartest gowns are of the jumper class with blouses of net dyed to match the material, the net usually more or less soutached In self tone. Silk Fabrics. There seems to be little doubt that the new weaves of pongee, also silk serge and foulard, will be the main fabrioa ot the season. PERFUMES THAT ARK POPULAR. Revival of Old Fashion Right Plaoe for 8oent Sachets, In the, midst of so many present day fashions copied from those of a hundred years ago It Is scarcely sur prising that the bablt of using scent in profusion should be numbered. How they - saturated themselves with sweet waters In those old, old days! We read of a very orgy of per fume In the time of Catherine de Medici, and learn that the men then were as prone, to Its use In profusion as were the women. 'One great king perfumed himself with amber from head to foot, and ev ery article of attire was scented. The great Napoleon used floods ot eau de cologne every morning, and the Empress Josephine filled her dressing room with muak In all sorts of forms. Today It Is the scene fountain and the vaporizer that are In great re quest. With the vaporizer the lady's maid scents her mistress before she leaves her home In the morning and after she has taken the perfumed bath. The excessive use of sachets at tached to the costume Is becoming less modish than It was; there must only be an atmosphere, a mere sug gestion of scent, Instead of a definite aroma about the clothes. In order to perfume them the wardrobe has its long flat Bachet of scented powder to fit each shelf. When tho boots and shoes ere put away little sachets are Introduced Into them; the lace and ribbon drawer has Its sachet also, and the only ones that need be worn by day are sewn Into the corset and Into the dainty cap of muslin and lace In which the belie takes her early cup of tea or her basin of bread and milk the last thing at night. When the hair Is washed It Is pleasant to use a scent that shall help to perfume the tresses, a per missible way of perfuming the person allowed under the regime of modern taste. The hairdressers of Paris are now using eucalytpus leaves steeped In boiling water for the shampoo used tor their customers' hair, and find that it makes the hair glossy as well as fragrant. Every day seems to Introduce new and coquettish developments of the scene craze. A famous perfumer ot lingerie tempts her customers with handkerchiefs, motor veils, shoulder scarfs and lingerie threaded with rib bons the color of the scent that is her customers' choice. Supposing the favorite violet per fume be associated with the ele gante, her lingerie Is threaded with violet ribbons, and she wears violet handkerchiefs, violet motor scarfs and other violet fal-lals. If rose Is preferred, it Is a rose powder that is suplled, and to carry the Idea to its utmost limit all the decorations of the belle's dressing room will be In shades of pink, while the pretty little lace boxes, gem cab inets and all her toilet table fittings. repeat her choice In brocade, crystal and china. Her writing table Is of course sup plied with perfumed leather, and she scents her stationery in order that it may be Impressed with her personal ity as made manifest by her use of one particular perfume. It Is a charm ing Idea In daintiness. London Dally Mall. Boy's Fight With an Owl. Lee Bartley, 16 years old, and a hooded owl that was the largest ever seen In this county fought a battle to the death this afternoon and the boy won. Armed with a .22 calibre rifle, Bart ley and several companions return ing from school sighted the huge owl In a tree near his home. Taking aim, he fired and down came the owl. The lad picked up the supposedly dead bird, which with a lightning movement Bank its claws deep Into Bartley's eboulders. Covered with blood spurt- lngfl In streams, the youth managed to clutch the bird by the neck and at tempted to strangle It, but the owl, releasing Its razor edged claws, slashed Its combatant with terrible effect. Finally the lad, weakened with from loss ot blood, burled himself post rate, crushing the bird into the earth. As the victor staggered away sev eral pedestrians reached the scene and he fainted In their arms. An ex amination showed that twenty-two cuts, ranging from halt an Inch to two inches In length were Inflicted on the youth's body. Menominee cor respondence Detriot News. Ireland's Immunity From Crime. I quoted the other day some facts from the Ulster Guardian showing, on the authority of the Judge's charges at the spring assizes, how free from crime Ireland has recently been. A crown prosecutor now writes me from Dublin further pointing the moral by giving the exact figures. He shows that in thirty-two counties (excluding the cities ot Dublin, Belfast and Cork, where crime was of a very normal type ) there were only 138 indictments, mostly of a very ordinary character. This number works out at only four a county, or thirty-five to each million of the population. My correspondent triumphantly asks, "Do the records of any other oountry In the world ex hibit such immunity from crime?" London News.
