Somrce or Profit For Worries;.
Illuminating of documents Is a new
field of work tot women in England,
and it might recommend Itself as a
congenial and profitable employment
for women in this country. Mrs. Ha-mer-Jackson,
of London, is urging
women to take up the work, which
she says peculiarly belongs to them.
Mrs. Hamer-Jackson Is one of the
best Illuminators In England. ' She
makes a large Income and does all
her work at home. She describe Il
luminating as un art. Her work ti
devoted almost exclusively to the dee
oration of public addresses, 'books
and cards In the fine floral scrolls and
designs, often spotted with go'd and
silver, In the style of the old Angle
Saxon and Gothic manuscripts, lira.
Hamer-Jackson says there Is practi
cally unlimited work to be done for
private persons. It Is her plan to or
ganise a school for the Instruction of
yonng women la the work. New
York Press.
A Change in walks.
The woman of the present la con
fronted with the necessity of having
a wardrobe of walks. One of these
must be a stride; the other must be
a glide. The former Is reserved tor
the trotteuse gown; the latter Is got
out with the classical robes which are
uow worn on formal occasions.
The most women already have at
their command the stride. That la
part of the free, boisterous, sturdy
type of girlhood which has for the
past years been our national Ideal.
The trouble now Is the acquisition of
the glide. For the glide of the
George Eliot heroine went out of fas
hion many years ago and since then
women have minced, galloped, el
bowed, wiggled, hopped, skipped,
achottlehed and rolled like a sailor
amidships. But they have not culti
vated that slow, sinuous, Inslduous,
even stealthy step which was part.of
the equipment of the heroine of by
gone Action. Consequently It looks
aa though there might be tempest
uous times ahead for the woman who
wants te wear Tanagrenae tunica aai
limp trails and all the other floppy
draperies recommended by the pres
ent modes. Pittsburg Dispatch.
Keeping Eyes Hilulit.
There is no surer giveaway of age
or Indicator of ill-health than the
eye. It has been called "the window
of the soul;" It might more truly be
dubbed the doorplate of the body and
its habits. Many a woman who has a
soul above reproach has eyes that
show her body to be all wrong.
If one is fatigued, Is over fond of
eating, Is a night owl, or Is over
strained, the eye will be dull, heavy
and lifeless. Above all, the eye is
the sign of physical upheavals.
When the eye is not bright and
clear, especially if It looks puffy or
has that "sick look," keep a sharp
watch for your health. It may be
only bllllousness, but it may also be
kidney trouble or Internal disarrange
ment. Whatever the cause It Is time
to discover It.
This Is a far wiser plan than to
take anything to keep the eyes bright.
There are women so foolish as to eat
arsenic under the Impression that it
will brighten their eyes. It will also
ruin their nerves, weaken the heart,
and may eventually mean invalidism
for life.
Even more foolish Is It to put
drops in the eyes to give them luster.
Why tamper with our most precious
possession? Never use anything In
the eye without consulting an ocu
list. It Is not safe to take risks with
a delicate organ. If nothing else de
ters, the fear of glasses should teach
sense. (
Shoutd the eyes feel heavy they
may often be freshened by bathing
with weak salt water, either hot or
cold. This can do no harm, and by
relieving strained conditions will fre
quently Improve the luster.
One woman says she has used a
little orange Juice In her eyes for
yean without Injuring them; A few
drops are Inserted in the eye with a
dropper. After the first smart the
eyes are brighter and clearer. As
this might be Injurious to other wom
en, though not harmful In itself, it
should not be used without the ad
vice of a physician. Philadelphia

New York City. The blouse that
is laid iu groups of fine tucks is a
pretty and dainty one, and Just now
It la in the height of style. This one
can be made plain, us illustrated, or
elaborated by means of embroidery or
lace insertion between the groups of
tucks, but in whichever way it is
treated It is always dainty and charm
ing. The square Dutch neck and
three-quarter sleeves Illustrated are
much In vogue and are exceedingly
comfortable, or the waist can be made
with long sleeves If preferred. It
will be found adapted to all materials
that can be made in lingerie, style,
and for between seasons thin silks
and pongee will be much In vogue as
well as linen and cotton fabrics. Em
broidered muslins are exceedingly
handsome so treated, and to the list
of familiar materials must be added
waist lengths of genuine East Indian
muslin embroidered in Indian style.
The waist Is made with front and
backs. It Is laid In groups of fine
tucks and there Is a wide tuck over
each shoulder, which gives becoming
fulness. When the neck is cut square
It Is finished with trimming; when

are very chic, but, needless to say,
they are not becoming to the average
woman. This style of hat was orig

Nine Gored Skirt.
Here Is one of the newest skirts,
gored to fit smoothly over the hips,
but with graceful lines at the foot

which gives the straight lines that are
extremely smart and graceful. The

are held in place with groups of three

appropriate, the linens and pongees of
the present as well as the heavier ma

The skirt Is cut In nine gores, the
fronts and back extending the full

lengthened by pleated portions that

Evolution of a Ball Player
By A. GOEWEY.
"I once knew a real ball player.
As a youth he could stand longer of
an evening against a lamppost on the
corner In front of the depot without
moving a muscle than. any boy in
town, and by the time he was seven
teen he could understand what was
In the newspapers, it any one would
read the items to him in a loud, clear
tone and skip all the words of more
than two syllables. In the daytime,
however, It was different. He went
out to the brick lot about seven-thirty
a. m. each fair day and played
ball most of the time until sundown.
He was considered some ball player
by the home folks, and finally signed
with a State league team, where he
sometimes received his salary In real
money. After a time he became so
proficient with the stick that he
Joined fast company. In fact, to
make a long story short, he became
one of the greatest players In the big
leagues and Is far from a 'has-been'
to-day.
"But, and here's the rub. I have
watched that boy year after year and
imagined that it was his splendid eye,
his broad shoulders, his great run
ning, and his lively work with his
hands and feet In the Infield that
made him the fine ball player I loved
to see play. Now, what do I find?
Why, It was nothing of the kind. .It
wasn't long years of practice, splen
did athletic qualifications, and a pair
of shoulders like a bull that had made
him a great ball player. Nay, nay!
It was because when a batter stepped
to the plate his brain cells would be
gin to 'convulate' with lightning like
rapidity and he'd think out the cor
rect answer to the situation 'Just
like that.' He would see that the
man was a left-hander, stood well up
to the plate, and that he was watch
ing the pitcher with his right eye,
and a spot midway between the box
and third base with his left. This
meant that the batter would hit the
ball hard to the spot watched by his
left eye, and that a alight hummock
In the grass there would cause it to
carom off at an angle of forty-five
degrees, and that In just one and
seven-fifty-ninths of a second after
the ball left the bat It wonld travel
the distance of one hundred and fifty
nine feet four Inches to where the
fielder ought to be. Figuring this
out 'Just like that' In a flash, the
fielder would be at the proper spot
on time, nail the ball, throw It to
first, and complete the play. I had
thought all along that this player
had a brain make-up that would
closely resemble a scrambled egg if
It tackled mathematics and geomet
rical angles, and that Instinct and
knowledge of. past performances fig
ured largely In bis work. Now I
find that whila his name signed to
the pay-roll resembles a map of a
Missouri river, his :h Ink-works are
mathematically mnstcnic. It Is
this new light the? U going to make
me enjoy my baseball more thorough
ly In the future." Lcslla's Weekly.

Didn't Want Justice.
A well known attorney of thla city
had a client whose case presented a
mass of technicalities, of which his
lawyer took every advantage. Before
the final argument and handing down
of opinion, however, the client was
forced to take a journey of some hun
dreds of miles and was compelled to
be absent for several weeks. He ar
ranged with his attorney to flash him
by telegraph the result of the trial of
his case, but told him to so word the
telegram that the addressee alone
would comprehend its Import.
The result was the awarding of a
verdict in favor of the litigant In
question, and his delighted counsel
sent him the following message:
"Justice and truth have tri
umphed." What was his amazement at re
ceiving a few hours later a telegram
from his client which said:
"Yours received. . Hard luck. Ap
