First Editor Of Paper.
Mr. Cyrus H. K. Curtis, wife of tie
bead ol the Curtis Publishing Com
pany, and the first editor ot the La
dles' Home Journal, died of heart di
sease In Philadelphia. She was 68
years of age.
Mrs. Curtis became editor of the La
idles' Home Journal when that publica
tion was started In 1883. Sbe retired
from the editorship six years later.
Hans Learns His Fate.
A ketch ot Dutch manners that has
Just appeared In an Amsterdam Jour
nal relates how In affairs of the heart,
among that susceptible people, the ci
gar plays a part at once dreamily em
blematic and practical.
The young gentleman In love calls
casually at the young lady's house
with his cigar out, and casually asks

That Is a delicate hint, and If he
calls again for a light the parents un

council is held, and the reply Is pre
pared. If on hi's third call the wooer
receives a light, but has the door im-
mediately closed in his face he under

If, on the other hand, his suit Is wel

Expressive Faces.
The most expressive face Is not the
one which writhes or agonizes with
. every sorrowful feeling, or twists and
squirms with every amusing situation.
It la rather the one which retains a
calm exterior while the strongest emo
tions ot the soul play upon it with
their lights and shadows.
The face should be the smooth cur
tain on which the heart exhibits Its
various pictures without disturbing
It, not the stage whlfch requires the
shifting ot scenery for every act
The reason why so many beautiful
faces are to be found in a convent Is
In a great measure due to the dally
habit of comnosina the features In
long hours of meditation and prayer.
Unmarred by contending emotions,
the features are gradually molded into
harmonious outlines.
To sum up on thfe point train your
features to composure and avoid all
grimacing habits.
Because good humor is an obliging
quality, many women think they must
always be in a laugh or a broad
emlte In order to be charming.
This Is a grievous mistake. New

Color For Brides.
At last a change in feminine cos
turning has come about that ought to
bring satisfaction to men and Joy to
women. We are told that a new sar-
' torlal revolution Is taking place that
will transform the conventional wed'
ding dress of deadly white Into a
thing less suggestive of the tomb. A
recent London bride crossed the Rubi
con and was married In a gown of
rose tint, and In plaoe of the pallid
cluster of orange blossoms she wore
a wreath .of fresh ciyrtie. To be sure
she did not do away with the tradi'
tlonal tulle veil, but even this article,
usually suggestive of a shroud, was
so arranged that It did not hide her
face. It was. fastened In a bow at
the crown of her head and depended
gracefully down her back, leaving the
face frankly and honestly exposed.
All brides are beautiful, as a mat
ter of course; but many a girl to
whom white lends an accentuation of
paleness Is dressed In bridal white at
the sacrifice of much of her own
natural loveliness. The starting
point of the ghastly white of the brt
dal dress Is lost in antiquity; but it is
probably of a religious oriirln, white
being the synonym of purity and In.
nocence. Yet white as a bridal color
Is about as grotesque as could be in
agined If considered logically. White
Is the color of snow, the hair of
hoary age and the cerements of death,
What, pray, has youth to do with
these thfnps? A brtde should be the
very embodiment of life, vernal beauty
and that warm Innocence which dis
plays itself In colors. Is there any
thing In this gray old world more sug
gestive of purity than the rose that
Is tinged with the . pink of sunrise
' bearing in It eheart the dewy pearl
orop7
Despite ancient theories and preju
dices, an orange blossom is not In lt-
eelf pretty. The apple blossom Is
warmer and hints of health and sweet
ness. The white rose Is not a natural
growth. It is a hybrid chilled by the
hand of man into a thing of stillness
. and solemnity. It has no perfume
worthy of the name. But an Alexan
dra bnd with its delicate shadings of
ethereal pink is vibrant with love and
hope and beauty. That Is the rose
for a bride. And why the draperies
ot whit to deck a radiant woman at
the altar? Ie she lost to the world In
a cloister where her soul and body
become the sacrifice of love? Does
marriage end an, even life? Let us
- take a leaf from the customs of sat-
ages, who at least know nature better
than we do, and adorn our brides with
color and bright flowers. The morn
ing of life is glorious with reds, pur
ples, greens, gold and violet. The
evening sky is cold and gray. Kansas

Talk About Nerves.
"Causes and Prevention of Nervcus
iiinn " nraa thn aubtect at a
moating of the public health education
committee of the County Medical So
ciety and the hyglens committee oi
thn New York Citv Federation of
Women's Clubs, and If the size of the
audience was an Indication of uis
prevalence of neurasthenia, Now Tork
nerves must be in a bad way.
Thn lares auditorium and tne aa-
Joining banquet hall, on the lower
flnnr of the Academy of Medicine, no.
17 West 43d street, were packed, peo
ple filling all the seats and etanaing
four or five deep in the rear.
Dr. Smith Ht Jelllffe said that in
digestion formed "the very large back
ground" of neurasthenia, and indlges
tfon was saddled on helpless children
by parents who were injuriously con
scientious about food.
"There's too much talk at meals
about what we ought to eat" he de
clared. "Hot bread with melted but
ter on It isn't half as unwholesome as
hnif.ivilred dietetic 4deas. Don't worry
your children to eat oatmeal because
you think It's good for them, or ram
spinach down their throats because
spinach has iron in It. Children are
conservative. They dread the new
things that are forced on them in this
bie. Duzzllne world. Leave their lit
tle nerves and stomachs some peace,
let them see you eating the rignt
thinra. and thev will erow naturally
and calmly Into an appreciation of
sptnach and other wholesome tnings."
Nervous exhaustion. Dr. Jeliine
said, had existed since Bible times,
and long before. The only time we
didn't have It was when we were mol
luscs and clams and had no nerves.
"What breaks down the nerves of
the adult? There are a thousand
causes you only have to read our
modern novels and poems to hear
what they are. Overwork, too strenu
ous work, anxiety, worry and then
the countless petty disturbances that
keep you from the higher level you
want to reach. You women know
about that the dish that was burned
the servants who were stupid."
"Plck-me-UDS" and afternoon tea
with brandy in it were abetting
causes, the sneaker said. "I won't
touch on bridge, because that's a live
wire, but it's hard to estimate now
much harm bridge and gambling have
done women's nerves."
Dr. Simon Baruch advised women to
throw their oortlerea out of the win
dow if thev wanted sound nerves.
"I've Just left a home in which the
arch between the drawing rooms had
sirdlnsr doors and double portieres,"
he said. "I don't know what they
were for, unless to bump heads
aeainst and tanele feet in. These
lambrekine' and thlng9. aa I believe
they're called, which you have in your
houses because they are the last rash'
ion from Paris, shut out light and air
and make bad sanitation, upon sani
tation rests the auestlon ot nervous
exhaustion. Live an active life, sleep
six to eight hours, eat regular meals,
ventilate your houses, don't, it you're
a woman, Dotner too mucn aroui ciuus
and the manicurist and it you started
with fairly good health you'll not have
nervous exhaustion."
Dr. Evelvn Garrlfrue spoke on "the
two forces, alcohol and debauchery,
which work euch ravages on the nerve
cells." Dr. Edward D. Fisher, In a
five-minute speech, showed how nerve
troubles were inseparable from the
heterogeneous, complicated HTe of
modern New York. Dr. Rosalie
Slaughter Morton presided. New
York Tribune.
Fash lion Notes. -Opals
are strongly In vogue.
Heels are getting higher; toes nan

Tapestry handbags are a pleasing
novelty.
French tailored suits are all very
severe.
With the chantecler rage comes
wings galore.
Necklaces' after antique styles are
high in fashion.
Pockets of odd cut are prominent
on elaborate suits.
The newest thing In a wrap Is
known as the cape-coat
Brill I an tine makes excellent under
skirts. Tiny pink roses trim young
girls' dance frocks.
Seml-precJous stones, set in exquis
ite filagree work, are in high favor as
daytime ornaments.
Embroidery that looks like rat-tall
braid is being employed quite effec
tively on linen taHormades.
Very stunning are large gun metal
hatpins. A single rhinestone Is in the
centre of the disc-shaped top.
The lingerie gown Is promised
great vogue, and this, of course,
means a great vogue for embroidery.
Oollarless frocks or handsome
weaves in soft materials are still in
vogue for all sorts of indoor occasions.
Angora sweaters of natural colors
have turnover collars and pockets and
are double-breasted. There are gloves
and hoods to match.
Jewelled girdles are extremely hand
some. They are made of cloth of sil
ver or gold, studded with caboohone
and colored stones.
A dark large-meshed voile or eta

New York City. Such undergar
ments as this one are needed by every
girl. It is dainty and attractive and
girlish at the same time that It Is em
inently practical. There is no bulk
over the hips or at the waist line, and
the flounce provides pretty fulness
and flare at the lower portion. Ba-
tlste with banding and trimming of
embroidery make the one illustrated,
but all the materials that are used for
underwear are appropriate. Dotted
and cross-barred muslins are liked by
some girls. India silk Is used beneath
the finer dresses and simple plain
lawn and nainsook are equally desir
able. The petticoat can be made eith
er trimmed or plain, and consequently
the same model is adapted to the
everyday frock and to the one de
signed for party wear.
The petticoat is made with long
body portion and the flounce. The
body portion Is cut with a front that
Is fitted by means ot darts, backs and
side-backs. The flounce Is straight
and joined to Its lower edge. The
trimming, when used, is arranged on
Indicated lines.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size (fourteen years)
Is three and a quarter yards thirty
six, three yards forty-four Inches wide
with sixteen and a half yards ot Inser
tion, five and three-quarter yards of
embroidery four and a half Inches
wide, three yards ot edging and two
and three-quarter yards ot beading,
for fourteen-year size.
Very Large Handbags.
The handbag has become one of the
most comforting possessions ot the
housekeeper, the business woman and
the shopper. The growth of the one
time pocketbook has been Interesting
to watch. In its latest development
it Is a thing of remarkable dimen
sions, and It Is quite to be expected
that if traveling-bag proportions
were to be indicated in the newest
handbag women would grasp the op
portunity of carrying home, without
loss, their own small bundles.
Mftuve and Brawn.
The woman with the skin like a ca
mella and warm brown hair should bs
decked In warm mauve and browns.
Leather linings. .
Many ot the new rough ulsters and
blanket coats are lined with, leather,
either a soft suede , or r eves, ths
harsher skins.
Buckles to Match.
Sauara or oblong buckles' of man
qulsette, matching one's evening gown
In color, are an effective adjunct to
many a costume.
Black Fishnet.
Black fishnet, In coarse, heavy silk
mesh is used for the all-black blouse
and trimmed with black grosgrala
ribbon in several widths, advancing
from a quarter to an Inch. The dull
ness of the ribbon and the extreme
plainness of these little models pro
claim them correct mourning for the
younger woman. They are lined with
lusterless black silk, except their col
lars and wristbands, which are left
transparent.
A New Combination.
The upper part of the combination
garment may now be a full-fledged
winter or autumn weight vest, while
the lower part Is a fine nainsook or a
lightweight longcloth. The drawers
are joined below the hip line by a
well-faced Beam, and are bloused over
below the knees. There Is a beading
at their lower edge into which the
nainsook Is gathered, and the bead
ing Is, in turn, drawn In with a white
or a blue wash ribbon to produce the
bloomer effect.
Fleated Ruffles.
The lingerie ruffle on the last
French petticoats and on the pantalon
combinations are no longer invariably
gathered to the beading which join
them to the garment. Pleats frt .
quently are substituted tor the olu
gathers. They are laid regularly or
In bunch pleats and, again, In pairs,
and since the pleats are very shallow
the flounce requires only the usual
amount of material or a very little
more. The material Is never meas
ured three times round the space.
Tucked Tulles Going Out.
Beaded and embroidered tulle and
silver and gold gauze are taking the
place of the tucked tulles which have
so long been In favor for the necks of
seml-tallored and other dresses. Un
fortunately the pretty tucked mate
rial has become too available for the
popular buyers. Now the fastidious
are turning to shirred tulle or to the
plain metallic fabrics. Shirred tulle
sleeves come together over the arm In
a double ruchlng that forms a line
from shoulder to wrist, or a band ot
embroidery breaks the plain round
effect.
Elbow Sleeves.
Except for the severest of tailored
gowns, the long, tight fitting sleeve
has been supplanted by the elbow
length sleeve of the material, with an
undersleeve of tucked net or lace.
The elbow-length sleeve does not re
main out of fashion for any length ot
time. Many ot the newest gowns
from Paris are finished with perfectly
plain undersleeves of tulle embroid
ered with metallic nets in place of the
tucked designs which were so popular
at the beginning of the season.
MORE DEER IN CALIFORNIA.
Game Wardens Have Been Killing
Mountain Uoni.
' Three thousand mountain Hons slain
In California In two years explains the
plentlfulness of deer this season, ac
cording to County Game Warden Mor
gan. Venison has been more abundant
in Los Angeles than in twenty years,
the veriest tyros among bunters com
ing back to the city with ono or two
bucks after short trips Into the moun
tains.
Persons who never before tasted deer
meat have had It on the table and
they have wondered why they never
could get It before. Morgan has the
solution and ho has figures to prove his
case. While humans may hunt deer
but for a few months In the year, the
mountain Hon Is obliged to respect no
closed season. It hunts every month
and It slays does as well as bucks.
Sportsmen estimate that an active
mountain Hon kills and devours an
average of twenty-five deer in twelve
months.
Thus by the killing of 3000 of the
"varmints" the lives of at least 75,000
deer have been preserved In the last
two years for the men with the guns
and ability to use them. This does not
take into account the natural increase
In the Hon family, which would amount
to possibly 3000 more.
Little interest was taken In the kill
ing of the Hons until the State Fish
and Game . Commission, realizing the
need for greater protection of deer and
other game, offered a bounty of $20
for each mountain Hon killed. This
Is not a state law, simply an action on
the part of the commission, which has
at its disposal the money collected on
hunting licenses and obtained from
other sources.
At $20 each the dead Hons have cost
the commission $110,000, though it is
said that the bounty has not been
claimed in each case. The skins of
quite a number of the animals have
been brought to Los Angeles, where
the bounty was claimed.
Some of these animals are of great
size, measuring twelve feet from tip
of nose to end of tall, while eight
footers are common back in the sparse
ly settled mountain districts. Los An

THE AGILE ESKIMO.
Habit Enables Him to Scale Iceclad
Heights With Surprising Ease.
"In all my experience I had never
encountered a rougher, more difficult
country in which to hunt than in Etles
mere Land," writes Harry Whitney of
Cook-Peary fame, In Outing. "Ordi
narily I should have believed these
mountain sides, with walls of smooth
rock sheathed with a crust of hard Ice
and snow, quite unscalable.
"In places they were almost perpen
dicular. Rarely did they offer a crev
ice to serve as foot or hand hold, and
jutting points and firm set bouldere
were too widely scattered to be of
much help,
"In thU his native land the Eskimo
has a decided advantage over the
white hunter. His lifetime of exper
ience has taught him to scale these
Iceclad heights with a nlmbleness and
ease that are astounding. He Is quite
fearless, and even the mountain
sheep is not his superior as a.cllmber.
"As if by magic, and with little ap
parent effort, the two Eskimos flew
up the slippery walls, far outstripping
me. How they did It I shall never
know. Now and asaln I was forced
to cut steps In the ice or I should in
evitably have lost my footing and
been hurled downward several hun
dred feet to the rocks beneath.
"I was astonished even at my own
progress, and when I paused to glance
behind me I felt a momentary panic.
Put there was no turning back and
one look robbed me of any desire to
try It.

view. They not only can go to sleep
promptly, but sleep soundly and well
as they travel, when circumstances
permit. They get sustenance too by

meat or blubber. This I could never

A well-known New Yorker who

BRAD3TREET8 REPORTS 1

Labor 8ltuatlon Less Strained nd

"Crop trade and industrial reports
are rather more cheerful this week.
This does not apply bo much to actual
immdelate conditions as it does to
great basic factors likely to be effec
tive in the future, and as yet It may
be said that the improvement is one
of tone or sentiment rather than of
actual expansion in demand or distri
bution. Indeed, except at a few mar
kets, there is little apparent expan
sion to be chronicled, and on a basis
of business done the turnover Is prob
ably little different from a week ago,
with repression or even disappointment'
visible in a number of lines. On the
side of favorable happenings may be
placed the unquestionable good tenor
of reports received from the farming
districts, except from a few States
where winter wheat damage has been
considerable.
There is also less evidence of
strain in the labor situation, and last.
but certainly not least, the sagging ot
prices ot a number ot agricultural
products from the high levels of a few
months ago Is regarded as ameliorat
ing the position ot business generally
and likely in time to benefit our un-
questlanably poor export trade. Fall

crop and price tendencies. The

high degree, and hardware, Imple
