NOT THE TIME FOR THAT
Scotsmen Objected to Mixture of Good
Whisky and Religious Con
versation. Owen Seaman, editor of Punch, was
the principal guest at a dinner of the
London Authors' club recently, which
was followed by a discussion on
'Humor." Mr. Seaman began with a
story deprecating the spoiling of good
dinners by any discussion at all.
There were three characters In the
story a bluebottle and two Scots
men. The story at once struck a note
of probability by showing the Scots
men drinking whisky. The bluebottle
buzzed on the pane; otherwise si
lence reigned.
This was broken by one of the
Scotsmen trying to locate the blue
bottle with zoological exactitude. Said
the Scotsman:
"Sandy, I'm thinking if yon fly Is a
birdie or a beastle."
The other replied: "Man, don't spoil
good whisky with religious conversa
tion." Does Engineering Work.

STYLE FOR BRIDES
INEXPENSIVE SILKS FOR PER
SONS OF MODEST MEANS.
Traditions of Modesty Allow Color
less Waists With Sleeves That
Fall Shor of Elbow Stripes
and Dots Prevail.
Now fashions for brides are not al
ways conventional in the matter of
the high-necked and long-sleeved
bodice. Traditions of modesty waive
a point here, allowing collarleBS
waists very often, with sleeves that
fall far short of the elbow. The "old-
fashioned" girl and others who find
the high stock more .becoming accept
only the cuts approved In the past
and surely this correct veiling of the
throat and arms seems more proper
for bridal attire. But yokes and un
dersleeves are all very filmy, and
though lined' with chiffon or net tbey
are all still diaphanous enough to be
becoming. In fact it Is the exception
to see the wedding frock's own ma
terial carried straight up to the
throat, while a sleeve without some
underdrop In a more airy textile Is
altogether behind the times.
In point of material many quite In
expensive silks are used by persons
of modest means, these with stripes,
dots or tiny floral sprays, or else a
HATS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
Millionaire's Wife Pays, Without Ques
tion, Fabulous Prices for Artis
tic Headgear.
The millionaire wife pays anywhere
from 25 to $300 for a hat, and she
buys half a dozen hats or bo every
season: The days are past when the
hat plays second fiddle, so to speak,
to the gown. The hat and the gown'
are of equal Importance now.
"How Is It possible to put such a
price on a hat?" The question has
been asked a thousand times by aston
ished husbands who pay the bills, and
even by the women themselves who
buy.
Well, In the first place, the
plain hat Itself is Imported from Paris,
and costs the Milliner from $10 to
$25, as against $2 to $10 only ten
years ago. This hat, though it fol
lows the prevailing tashlon, and
though this fashion may be ridicu
lous In the extreme, is nevertheless,
artistic In lines and general form.
Perhaps It is desired that the bat
Bhould be green. The artist mil
liner has in her employ a French
man whose business it is to color
hats to any shade or tint that may
be wished. He brings his dyes from
rnrs tin pale, soft colors he uses
are to be had only in that city es3
has himseir lecelved ' his training
there. No American can do this
work.
The trimmings and materials for
this hat are, of course. Imported
also. A $75 Imported feather may be
the- body of the trimming. Perhaps
on the green ground it is decided that
pink and blue roses will harmonize
best with the rest of the wearer's
outfit. It Is in deciding such things
as these that the art of the milliner
Is called Into play.
It Is a French woman, too, who
does the work on small hats and
toqes. She has been a worker for
one of the famous firms in Paris
for Charlotte, possibly, or Georgette,
or Camilla Rogers. If ber specialty
Is sailor hats, she has probably been
with Marie Louise.
A woman of wealth buys all her
hats between September and July.
During the hot months the milliner
may fit out a dozen theatrical com
panies If she chooses, but she cannot
do this in the winter time, for the
two elements, tho social set and
the theatrical profession, must come to
the milliner's parlors at different
times.
Four sets of hats become a neces
sity to the woman of unlimited means,
as follows: (1) city hats, (1) coun
try hats and seashore hats, (3) hats
for February and March in the south,
(4) hats for European travel. .
twilled or corded weave. Mar
quisette and other fine veilings are
much employed in conjunction with
satin, rich lace, and chiffon, this com
bination turning out the most fairy
like wedding frocks without great ex
pense. One wedding dress shown by
a leading importer was of embroider
ed batiste over satin. It was short,
with a Dutch neck, and fairly Incrust
ed with needlework. It wns to be
topped by a broad hat wreathed with
white crape morning glories and
snowy roseB In the same airy texture.
The materials used show endless
shades of white, but penrl, snow-white
and a delicate cream are the most sat
isfactory ones. A pretty arrange
ment for the veil is to put it on after
the manner of a straight gathered cur
tain, with the sides covering the
cheeks and the rest of the face un
covered. The tulle or fine net used. Is
left unhemmed and It Is shirred to a
wire under a round wreath of orange
blossoms.
Our illustration suggests an attract
ive and girlish design for a cloth
frock braided with soutache that
would be needed for walking or trav
eling. Here one of the new cloths
with a rough finish Is employed, tho
color a delicate tan, with the braiding
and other trimming black.
The skirt is plaited with a closely
fitting yoke, and the upper part Is a
species of polonaise, with the neck
rounded out nnd kimono sleeved cut
with the side portions of tho bodice.
White net embroidered with black
dots is used for the guimpe and under
sleeves. Any wool of a solid nature
would do for this frock, and machine
embroidery may be bought for the
trimming If the braiding seems diffi
cult. The upper part of the dress
could also be made of veiling nnd tho
lower part of silk, nnd with this ar
rangement an embroidered gJmpe and
undersleeves of white batiste would
be very pretty.
But In seeking for a rich effect re
member that a black note In the
trimming will always give It, ard for
that matter, a gown in almoai any
color might be trimmed solidly with
black and be In excellent style.
Smart Pump Bows.
The newest bows for smart pumps
have the advantage of being service

are made of leather to match the

CONVENIENT KNITTING BAG
Will Prevent Many Mishaps and Will
Keep Ball Clean and In
Good Condition.
Few things are more aggravating
in a small way than to drop a ball
of knitting or crochet wool or thread,!
more especially as such a ' mishap
only too often ends In a hopeless
tangle, while the ball Is being hunted
for on the floor. A useful knitting
bag of the kind shown in our sketch
will altogether prevent any accident
of this description, and will, more
over, keep the ball clean and in good
condition.
"This bag Is made in silk or linen,
lined with soft silk, and Interlined
with thin cardboard and bound at the
edge with wide silk ribbon, which.
in its turn, Is edged with a line of
stitching. The handle consists of a
loop of broad ribbon, tied in a. bow
at the top and made sufficiently long
to allow the bag to be slung comfort
ably over the left arm while at work.
On one side there is a hole through
which the thread may be drawn with
out disturbing the ball, and with no
risk of pulling it out of Its place.
The sides are of silk or linen to match
the front and gathered Into a binding
of ribbon, while on the front of "the
bag the word "Knitting" la lightly
embroidered in silk, chosen In some
contrasting shade of color.

TINY BABY'S PITIFUL CASE
"Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first it seemed to be a few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the un
derneath Bkin red as though it were
scalds. Then a few more pimples
woud appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top of her
head there appeared a heavy scab a
quarter of an inch thick. It was aw
ful to see so small a baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors' remedies but all
(ailed.
"Then we decided to try Cutlcura.
By using the Cutlcura Olntmont we
softened the scab and It came off. Un
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cutlcura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
a new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of tho Cutlnura
Resolvent threo times dally. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining a little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She Is a fine
picture of a fat little baby and all
is well. We only used one cake of Cutl
cura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Oint
ment and one bottle of Cutlcura Re
solvent If people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer
ing with eczema. Mrs. Joseph Koss

-DIDN'T "GET" THE QUOTATION
Boston Reporter, Unlike Most News
paper Men, Was Unfamiliar With
the Scriptures.
The "cub" reporter Is the greenest
reporter on the staff of a newspaper,
when anything particularly stupid
happens on the papor, he Is the first
to be accused, and be Is usually right
ly accused. The only salvation for
him Is to Improve, which he does In
nine cases out of a dozen. The Bos

sing "break" of a wholly Innocent na
ture which a certain cub made. If It
Bhows anything, it Bhows.that a thor
ough training In the Bible is useful in
other walks of life than the ministry.
The reporter had been sent to a
suburb to report a sermon. He ar
rived late, near the close of the serv
ice, and took a' seat near the door.
V"uen the last hymn was over, he
asked his neighbor, an elderly gentle
man: '
"What was the text of the sermon?"
"Who Art Thou?" replied the
other.
"Boston reporter," replied the other.
The man smiled.1 Subsequently he

Red Cross Christmas Seals.
Arrangements for the sale of Red
Cross Christmas Seals for 1910 have
been announced by the National As
sociation for the Study nnd Preven
tion of Tuberculosis nnd the Ameri
can Red Cross. "A Million for Tuber
culosis" will be tho slogan of the 1910
campaign. Two fentures of the sale
this year ore unique and will bring
considerable capital to the tuberculo
sis fighters. The American National
Red Cross Is to issue the stamps as In
former years, but this organization
will work In close co-operation with
I he National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis, which
body will share In the proceeds of the
Bales. The charge to local associa
tions for the use of the national
stamps has been reduced also from 20
per cent, to 12 per cent., which will
mean at least $50,000 more for tuber
culosis work In all parts of the United
States. The stamps are to be desig
nated as "Red Cross Seals" this year
and are to be placed on the back of
letters instead of on the front.
Shrewd Scheme Stopped Run.
Many years sgo, in consequence of
a commercial panic, there was a seyere
run on a bank In South Wales, and
the small farmers Jostled each other
In crowds to draw out their money.
Things were rapidly going from bad
to worse, when the bank manager, in
a fit of desperation, suddenly be
thought him of an expedient. By his
directions, a clerk, having heated some
sovereigns Ih a frying pan, paid them
over the counter to an anxious appli
cant. "Why, they're quite hot!" Baid
the latter as he took them up. "Of
course," was the reply; "what else
could you expect? They are only Just
ov.t of the mold. We are coining them
by hundreds as faBt as we can."
"Coining them!" thought the simple
agriculturists; "then there Is no fear
of the money running short!" With
this their confidence revived, the pan
ic abated, and the bank was enabled
to weather the storm.
"The Wish la Father to the Thought."
Dr. Robert L. Waggoner, the presi
dent of Baldwin university, said. In

"And one of the most remarkable
