Woman Teller For a Chicago Hank. The Fourth National Bank will on August 1 Inaugurate a new movement In banking circles by opening a de partment for the exclusive benefit of its women customers. Women patrons will be served at a separate window by a woman teller. Added Interest attaches to this in novation from the fact that the posi tion will be filled by one of the best known young women in Atlanta. Miss Jennie Armstrong, for many years identified with the Girls' High School as assistant principal, has been to-day appointed to the position of teller, with exclusive charge of the woman's de partment. In the inanguration of this new de partment for the exclusive use of women, the Fourth National is the first bank in the South to follow the precedent established by some of the largest banking institutions of the East. Notably among such institu tions Is the Fifth Avenue Bank of New York, the deposits of which ag gregate S.'!l>,000,000, of which amount j'JO, 000,OttO stand to the credit of women depositors. The officials of the bank, being ques tioned as to the purposes and plans of the new department, said: "The woman's window and the wom an's teller will enable our numerous patrons among the women to avoid the disagreeable necessity of standing In an indiscriminate line. Among the details of the plan will be a handsome combination check nnd passbook bound in Hussian leather, and a size to slip Into a lady's card case. An other attractive feature will be the payment, at the new window, of all checks in fresh and unused currency." —Atlanta Journal. In Chooalng n Dreßi. An exchange suggests trying a fabric next your hand if there by no mirror, as the complexion of It is about the same as that of the face. This may be so, but, as the eyes and hair are quite as important factors as the skin, we can but be of the opinion that a mir ror is a necessity. If a shop is to be found which is not liberally supplied with mirrors we should by all means advise the woman Intent upon dress buying to provide herself with her toilet mirror; smaller sorts will not be satisfactory. Having taken her position before the counter an end of the contemplted goods is draped over her shoulder, or ,if it be heavy, let it be flat and plain— the way it is to be made—and she can judge whether or no she is at her best in it. The woman who buys a material because it looks well on the saleswoman's person ought to be in the sartorial kindergarten. Of course, there's no necessity for ex ploiting one's toilet mirror, but if a mirrorless store were to be found we certainly should advise a woman not to hesitate. Furthermore, she should try her ma terial just where she is to wear it. She'll be disappointed if she tries a pink rose for her hat beside her chin, as many women do, since a color's ef fect is often very different above or below the face. Red or pink on the hat may rob a face of every vestige of color, while these same shades placed under the chin may throw a warm glow over the complexion. There's nothing to do but to try It before a mirror! Uso of Porfumee. Many women of good taste say that the use of perfume is vulgar, and other women of equally good taste proclaim that It is not. Which one of these is right the individual must decide. One thing is certain; excessive use of per fume is vulgar; It is the nbuse and not the use of perfume that makes It un popular with women of refined tastes. When perfume is used the woman should select whatever scent is the most agreeable to her, and use that alone. Nothing can be worse taste than a confusion of scents. A delicate perfume of good quality is the most desirable, and then one should have everything the same scent. Sachet powder will be required for tlie scent bags scattered about among the underwear; the face powder should be of the same make, as should also tlie soap. As to extracts, people vary in these, but quite the best taste is to have the extract and toilette water the same scent as all the others, and If a delicate scent is used on the hand kerchief there is no reason whatever for calling it vulgar taste; there have been times when a scented handker chief has been known to revive a person who felt faint, and when no smelling salts were at hand. Walking Good Exercise. Girls do uot appreciate the advan tages of walking as they should. It has been said by an eminent physician that walking is the exercise most con ducive to physical beauty in woman. Tennis Is supposed to be good exer cise, but it has a tendency to lengthen the arms, and also to make the height ■of the shoulders uneven. Cycling, when much practised, renders women rather awkward in their walk; they ac quire a sort of plunging motion that is not altogether graceful, says Woman's Life. Croquet does not give the continuous exercise of the whole system that walking docs. Of all the ways in which women take physical exercise there is none so conducive to health and beauty of form as walking. Per haps the reason why systematic walk ing for health's sake is not more popu lar is that it is so cheap and so con venient. We generally prefer that which costs money, and is otherwise not obtainable by all. As an easy and safe contributory to health, walking ought to lie regularly persevered in, in all but the worst weather. Silk GIOVCR Embroidered. Embroidered silk gloves are one of the dainty extravagances of the sea son, the vogue for embroideries in fabrics having reached handwear. The embroidered gloves have tiny pansies, daisies, violets or forget-me-nots em broidered in a section two inches wide around the wrist. They are executed either In the natural colors or in the exact shade of the glove, the latter style being undoubtedly destined to greater popularity. In better grades the embroidery extends to the back of the hand, where it occupies the place of the usual points. In the elbow gloves for evening wear, where the embroidery is most appro priate and beautiful, it is found both on the backs of the hands and in a section four inches wide around the wrist. Half way up the arm there is also a four-inch semi-transparent, ellip tical medallion, also embroidered. These gloves have double-tipped fin gers, unusual In long silk gloves, and are shown in black, pearl, white, mode and light gray. Children's Fashions. Aesthetic dress always seems to be suitable to little children. They have taken kindly to the Russian blouse. Sometimes the waist line is ignored altogether, and the garment falls from the shoulders to the feet In an un broken line from a pretty yoke or collar. Boys' waists seem to be given a longer length thnn girls', of course in their tender youth. Flowered muslin, delaines and cliallis make pretty little frocks for girls, with yokes and frill ings round the hem. A novel idea is a yoke piece from the waist smocked; this being elastic, It adheres nicely to the figure. For wearing with the first breeches there Is a curious little gar ment, which is slipped over the head, and has no fastening at all; it is set in a yoke and box pleated, the ma terial being allowed to fall as it will from the shoulders; the sleeves are slashed on the outside of the arms, and show under white ones, apparently part of the yoke. Sometimes it Is made to button down the back. Charlotte Corday Hats. This is an original adaptation of a mob cap to a hat. It is, in fact, a muslin hat with a couple of pleated frillings round, and very pretty too. Sometimes it is made of white crepe, with black muslin spots over pink silk, and roses figure in the front, and black velvet bows at the back. It should be accompanied by a picture frock with a fichu and bell sleeves. Everybody who dresses well now, and likes to wear a high collar, appears to supplement it with a colored ribbon around the neck, and the old fashioned gold roses, attached to hearts, are much in character with it. Elaborate Lace Mite. Lace mits grow more elaborate as the season advances. They come in all lengths and colors, although black and white are the preferable shades. Fashion Notes. All sorts of pleatings are modish. Inlaid tucking looks rather well on silk. Old blue is a shade that seems to be gaining popularity Deep turn-back cuffs of heavy lace adorn evening cloaks. The mercerizing process has made common dresses handsomer. Ooarse open linen weaves do not necessarily become shapeless. Already we hear of changing sleeve fullness to übove the elbow. Gowns of gray cheviot, with white reliefs, are especially smart. Inlets of pleated lace or net give fullness to some long dress cloaks. White pearl buttons fasten the blouses and skirts of some bicycle suits. White grenadine, trimmed with pink panne, makes an effective afternoon gown. Platform hats that take a sudden drop in the back are very becoming to some faces. As stocks become depleted It Is more and more trouble to match large and small lace figures. Dutch necks are more becoming to some than are the round shapes that come just to the base of the neck. Some of the new tucked shirt waists have French knots embroidered on them in black, thus giving a pretty contrast. Lace medallions caught together witli narrow ribbon velvet make a very pretty trimming on gowns of light woolen material. Lace hip yokes give skirts a modish air and are very efficient in concealing any piecing that may have been em ployed to lengthen the skirt. Particularly effective are the accor dion pleated ruffs now so much worn. They come In all colors, but those in black and white are preferred. Every complete wardrobe must have a long coat. They are made with full effect and are apparently shapeless, although much attention has been paid to getting this effect. Ostrich feather boas are seen again, some in the old, round shape, but the smartest ones are in wide, flaj: stoles. When boas nre worn it is always bet ter tuste to have them the same colo:: as the gown. Household patters To Preserve Bruas Ornaments. Brass ornaments, when not gilt or lacquered, may be cleaned and a fine color given to them by two simple processes. The first is to beat sal am moniac into a fine powder, then to moisten it with soft water, rubbing it on the ornaments, which must be heated, and rubbed dry with bran and whitening. The second is to wash the brass work with rock alum boiled In a strong lye, in the proportion of one ounce to a pint; when dry It must be rubbed off with tripoli. Either of these processes will give brass the brilliancy of gold. Fried Peppers. Fried peppers are not any too well known. The peppers should be sliced crosswise,, freed from the seeds and left in cold water for a quarter of an | hour or more. Drain and dry these slices, sprinkle over them a little salt and dip them into flour. Have ready a little olive oil in which to fry the peppers. Do not let them brown too deeply, and serve with steak. Again they may be broiled, though In this case the peppers should be cut into quarters and, after the seeds have been removed, cooked on a greased broiler until the edges begin to curl. They should then be brushed with butter, seasoned with a little salt and served on a steak. Muflhroom Soup. Something really new In the soup line Is a difficult matter for the home ca terer to achieve, but with mushrooms as the basis she may serve a delicacy in this line that will set the family guessing what can have produced such a savory flavor. Odds and ends of mushrooms, fresh and good, but to be had nt low price because they are the bottom of a basket and not fit to serve whole, will answer excellently for tills purpose. Wash and peel about a pint jf these, put them into a suueepun with a pint of boiling water; boil until ten der, then rub through a sieve. Prepare a cream by stirring a tablespoonful of Hour into one of boiling water, nud add- j iug slowly to tills a quart of hot milk. Season with salt and pepper, stir until smooth and thick, add the mushrooms and stir until blended, when it Is ready to serve. It too thick, stir in a lfttle boiling water. Boiling Vegetable!, A great many cookbooks order all fresh vegetables to be placed in an abundance of boiling water and cooked slowly for a considerable time. Many vegetables arc ruined by being cooked in this way. Potatoes, asparagus, peas nud cauliflower should be boiled in a small amount of water and cooked steadily but slowly. Overboiling will make all of these vegetables tasteless. Do not salt any of tbem until they are half done. The best way to cook beets is in cold water. Wash them well, being careful not to puncture them or break off the tops. Put in a saucepan, cover with water, add a handful of salt and two tablcspoofuls of vinegar. Let them boll rapidly for an hour and ten min utes. If old beets, cook an hour longer. Lift one by one into cold water, peel and return to the water in which they were boiled if they are to be cooled. Carrots should be scraped and washed, cut in slices half an inch thick and cook in salted water for thirty minutes. Serve in a cream sauce. String beans should be boiled slowlv for two hours. . . RECIPES ... Fried Green Bananas A Cuban woman is responsible for these direc tions: Peel green bananas, cut them in two, lengthwise and crosswise, and fry them like French fried potatoes, in deep fat. Tea Punch—Few beverages find readier favor during the hot weather than tea punch. To make It, pour boil ing lemonade, sweetened to taste, over the tea leaves, and allow the liquid to stand'until cold. Then strain and serve in tall glasses with shaved ice and slices of lemon. Egg Fondue—Bent four eggs until light; add to them a little pepper and salt to season, two tablespoonfuls of parmesan cheese and two tablespoon fuls of milk; put one tablespoonful of butter in the frying pan; when it is hot turn in the egg mixture and stir until thickened; serve on squares or rounds of buttered toast. Scones—Mix nud sift together two cupfuls of sifted flour, four level tea spooul'uls of baking powder, half a tablespoonful of sugar and half a tea spoonful of salt; rub into the flour with the tips of the fingers four level table spoonfuls of butter; then add two beaten eggs and one-third cup cream; toss on a floured board; roll three fourths of an inch in thickness; cut in squares; brush with white of egg; sprinkle with sugar and bake in a hot oven fifteen minutes. Mock Bisque Soup—Scald half a cup of bread crumbs with one quart of milk, one-half onion stuck with four cloves; add a sprig of parsley and a small piece of bay leaf; remove the seasonings and rub through a sieve; cook half a can of tomatoes iu an agate pan; add two teaspoonfuls of sugar; let cook for fifteen minutes and add one-fourth teaspoon of soda; rub through a strainer; heat the bread and milk to boiling; add tomatoes; put three level teaspoonfuls of butter in a tureen, a little pepper and one teaspoon of salt; pour the soup over this; serve very hot. VECETABLE MIMICRY. I StApelia and Other Flower* That Have Fetid Odors. • Quite a number of flowers have dis tinctly mimetic odors. It can hardly he doubted, for example, that the of- I fenslre smell of the earriou flowers I stapelin, Arlstoloclila. arum, rafflesin anil others is more effective ill promot ing cross fertilisation because of its resemblance to the odor of putrid meat. So completely are the flesh flies de ceived that they often deposit their eggs 011 the petals of carrion flowers. Fetid odors occur in byronia, hello liorus, geranium, stachys. bullota. iris and other genera. The odor of others have a curious resemblance to the gmclls emitted by certain animals. Hypericum liirinum and orchis hircina are bad-smelling flowers with an odor resembling that of the goat; corian drum sativum has the fetid smell of bugs, while the hemlock, again, emits a strong odor of mice. Along with these may be mentioned adoxa, the music orchis, the grape hyacinth and other musky-scented flowers. I The resemblance in smell between these flowers and the secretion formed in the scent glands of the musk ox and other animals is, to say the least, g remarkable coincidence. Possibly (lies which accompany cattle may be attracted by smells of this description. iVery curious also is the vinous smell of oenanthe, and the brandy-like aroma of the yellow water Illy nuphar. henco called the brandy bottle Etliernl oils exhaled by plants, while attractive to some animals, seem to repel others; i the scents of sweet-smelling flowers, | such as daphne, thymus, marjoram, melllotus and gymnademia, though | grateful to bees and butterflies, appear to bo distasteful to ruminants. Kerner states that in general the latter avoid all blossoms; even the caterpillars do not readily attack the petals of their fooil plants. Odor may therefore be protective or attractive or it may be pf use In both ways. The same remark applies to color, which may serve either to attract or repel; the richly variegated leaves of the Indian nettles 1 —species of coleus—and the tinted foliage of begonia and geranium may possibly escape Injury on account of the generul resemblance to colored blossoms. Instances in which one plant resembles another in smell are | not very common in the flowering class, though cases do occur like the 1 garlic mustard and apple-scented saliva. Resembling odors arc much more frequent among fungi.—Knowl edge. When the Tenderfoot Wai "It.'* "Several years ago I was down in the Indian Territory on a trip," said the i dancing man, "and some of my friends ! got up a dance for me. I asked my I most particular friend what I should wear. He informed me, full dress. ' I went that way and was the only one I at the dance with even a white shirt ! on, and was the target for all the eyes in the hall. Naturally I felt very tin | comfortable. The girls, however, were I taken with me at once, and any one of j them was mine for the asking. In I fact, I forgot for a while there were | any other other men present. The | cowboys stood around like a iot of j 'has beens.' I was 'it' for once in my life. Eight mouths later I made a re- I turn visit to this little town, eighty j miles from a railroad, and happened to I strike the place 011 the eve of a dance | by a club that had been formed that season. I received an invitation from j my friend, and, remembering my prev ( lous experience, attended the dance in my traveling clothes. No dress suit again for Willie. To my surprise, when I emerged from the dressing room, I found all the men in full dress, and a more evenly balanced lot of dressy fellows I never saw, all being dressed exactly alike.

Spain recently asked for a loan of some $05,000,00P at four per cent., aud four times the amouut has been sub scribed in the country. It will be re culled that the Spuuisli people sur prised the world with taking up the war loans, showing that while Spain is I poor, she still has money put away and thnt It Is at the disposition of the Government. In some sections of the country the peasunt laborers are crushed down by tbe ugents of tbe rich laud owners, aud in other places strikes among operatives In the factories are common. Therefore it is all the more 1 admirable that the people, as a whole, should he in possession of so much good cash. Spain will always be the land of the unexpected; the Spanish nation has been demonstrated to be unconquerable by au Invader; It has an ideal of life very different from that j of other European peoples, anil probably , lias more true happiness every day ill j the year. Spain is a country being 1 kept for a groat role in the future. The people are virile and unspoiled; they i hold a strategical situation on the map I of Europe, and we may consider them to be waiting the call of a high des tiny.—Mexican Herald. Fruit tJulves Kill Disease Germs. Many eminent bacteriologists call at tention to tlie power of fruit juices to 1 kill disease germs. Lemon juice and apple juice are especially mentioned, the one containing citric acid and the other malic acid. Cholera germs arc killed in fifteen minutes by either, and typhoid germs in half au hour. If a lemon he squeezed into a glass of water containing cholera germs, the water may be drunk with perfect safety If allowed to styiul for fifteen or twenty minutes. A fruit diet will cleanse the stomach and the alimentary canal, and I drive off or kill many of the germs that cause disease. ' WW OUR. BUDGET OF HUMOR.. *i—— —— Inharmonious.

Scarcely another animal presents such a striking picture ot savage hatred, ot uncompromising ferocity as a Canadian lynx at bay. That brutal head, with low forehead, beneath which two cruel eyes are blazing like evil stars; that tierce display ot teeth between the parted wrinkled lips, and the massive, powerful feet, hiding flesh-tearing hooks of living steel, all impress the beholder with the fact that a personal encounter with a Canadian wildcat must end in death for at least one of the combatants. Not that the lynx is specially aggres sive in his attitude toward men—far from it—and the stories of how he fol lows belated hunters through the over hanging branches of the forest trees, seeking a favorite opportunity to spring upon his human prey, are pro ducts of the imagination. But when, nfter a chase, he is, driven to take refuge In a tree, where ho crouches In preparation for his last battle, I would prefer, unless armed with a rifle, to interview almost any other creature of equal weight. Many years ago the Canadian lynx was to be found In the mountainous districts of New England, New York and Pennsylvania, but now he is sel dom seen far south of the Canadian border. He is to be met with in La brador, and is quite common In certain parts of the Dominion, where he Is hunted chiefly for his skin. He is somewhat larger than the com mon American wildcat (lynx rufus), and, moreover, his head is rounded and broader in proportion than that of his kinsman. His triangular, furry ears are each tipped with a tuft of coarse black hair. The general color of the body is gray, witli many irregu lar darker spots; the fur on the under side of the body is lighter. Beginning at the ears and extending downward around the throat is a ruff of longer hair, which adds not a little to the animal's appearance of ferocity. The tnll is short, thick and well covered with liair. He is splendidly adapted for the wild life which he leads. Clad in his thick winter fud, he can resist the most penetratiug cold, and when his hunting luck is against him, as it often is, his great vitality enables him to exist for many days-without food. His methods of pursuing and capturing his prey are very similar to those adopted by the domestic cat.—Ottawa Free Press, WORDS OF WISDOM. Be temperate in all things. A woman's tongue is her sword, and she does not let it rust. The cheerful live longest in years, and afterward in our regards. To see what is right, and not to do it, Is want of courage or of principle. We prepare ourselves for eternity by doing our day's work while it is day. Work is healthful until one lives fot It, then it is bnt drudgery, and spirit racking. You cannot make much progress if you let yourself slide down six day and only try to climb up on one. It is strange how much colder it is in winter and how much hotter in sum mer on Sundays than on other days. A certain fastidiousness is some times mistaken for line sensibility, when it is thereiiuement of selfishness. Let us eudeavor hereafter to uplift humanity individually, and not in the mass. Massing humanity will not do. Love is strong as death. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it.—Proverbs of Solo mon. He that has once done you a kindness will be more ready to do you another than he whom you yourself have obliged. He who gives away money or goods may impoverish himself. But he who gives away wisdom, justice, friend ship, good will, grows rich through his giving. The discourteous are cursed with a "twilight murkiuess of soul," impene trable to any ray of beauty, sublimity or elegance; dead to the true apprecia tion of aught there Is in life that dis tinguishes humanity from the animal. Clear and vivid consciousness of the divine presence is like the breathing of a new life and a new spirit into all things. When it comes to us it trans forms the universe. We are no more the- subjects of dullness, apathy, gloom or fear. An Awkwurtl Position. The following incident occurred at an entertainment in a large provincial town.
